The Ladies Aid of the NJ. E.
Church will meet at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Reynolds on Thurs
day evening, March 31st. The pres
ence of all members is very much
desired.
Why not form a Glee Club. We
have a large number of young men
with fine voices, which accord well
together. Small towns like Ellen
dale cannot support a brass band or
other musical organizations of SINH
lar nature, but could have a musi-
cal combination, whose singing
would help to enliven the dullness
which pervades all small villages,
more or less.

or not marked STOP.

Rains have been excessive in Min.

is that it will not be too dry this year

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
ARE GOOD AT ASKOV
Annual Income of Farmers Has
Been Gradually Climbing Since
the Colony Was Started i'm 1906.

Twenty-one years ago when the
Danes came to Askov and started a
colony there was but about a half
dozen settlers in this cut-over region
which a few years previously had
been burned over by the great Hinck-
ley forest fire. Today there are about
1,2OO Danes in the community and
Askov's trading territory takes in
more than 1000 people.
That the country developed rapidly
in an economic way is demonstrated
by the fact that in 1926-twenty years
after the work was started on clear
ing, tilling, and building homes,
church, school, business institutions,
etc.,-the years income received from
products shipped to market from
Askov was approximately as follows:
Dairy products, $165,OOO; eggs, $43,-
900; potatoes, $sS,OOO; rutabagas, $47,-
900; and live stock, $4,000.

SAVE YOUR COPY

Cooperating with the Ten Thou
sand Lakes Association and the Min
nesota Editorial Association the
American has this week issued a
Greater Minnesota" edition which
the reader will note is 20 pages.
A number of articles had been pre-
pared by the two abbove mentioned
associations and the American Sc
cured them-or those which we DEEM
ed would be of most interest and ben
eft to our readers. There has been
a considerable amount of time and
energy expended in getting out this
edition yet we had hoped to get more
material into it, but time and space
would not permit. A report of the
cooperative creameries of the county
had been planned for this edition but
along with other feature articles
that we would like to have presented
to our readers, it was found necessary
to leave that for another special edi-
ton at some later date or in some
regular weekly edition.
Likely few will have time to read
the entire edition at once and it
might be a good plan to preserve it
for reading now and then as one finds
time, for there are a number of ar
ticles covering early history of the
state, the mining and milling indus
tries, farming, the road system, the
schools, other feature articles and on
one page a condition map of the Min
nesota trunk highways. There are
also number of views from out over
the state and many Pine county
views.
In this edition will also be found
several articles prepared especially
for the American. One of those is
that headed around European Cap
itals" written by Viggo Justeseh, a
newspaper feature writer, and an
other, "The World Does Move, by
Georg Strandvold, one of the editors
of DEBORAH Poster, DEBORAH, Iowa.
We call the attention of our readers
to both of these articles as being good
and interesting.
Besides the regular run of 2,O25
copies weekly an additional 1000
copies are printed of this issue, max
ing in all over 5000. The extra copies
have been ordered by individuals to be
sent to friends and relatives in other
parts of this state and to adjoining
states.
The American expresses apprecia-
ton to those who have contributed
articles, others who have furnished
information and aid in other ways,
and to the advertisers for their pa
tronage, thus making the edition pos
Sible.

HOG PRICES ARE ON
THE DECLINE AGAIN
Cattle Meet With Strong Active
Market.-Vealers Hold Fully
Steady.-Lambs Weak.

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics and Minnesota Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
South st. Paul, Mimi, May "a, 1927.
On strong active market a load
of mediumweight steers cashed at

yearling supply cleared at $3.50 to
$1,000. She stock supplies cleared
largely at $500 to $3.50, with cutters
at $3.50 to $3.50. Best weighty bulls
brought $7.25, with most medium
grades at $6.75 to $500. Stockers
and feeders sold largely at $500 to
1925, with $3.50 to $500 taking most
stock cows and heifers.
The decline in the 90 hog market
placed most of the desirable light
butchers on a $500 to $1,000 basis,
with medium and heavy butchers
SS.25 to $SS5. Bulk of the ordinary
sows sold mostly at $7.75, stays $3.50

EXERCISE CARE, BE CHEERFUL
AND HAPPY

Now that the automobile season is
at hand again it will not be amiss
to sound timely warning for care
full driving.
On Sunday, May %, it was just six
years ago that the lives of two young
Askov people were laid low at the
local railroad crossing, causing a
shock to the community that was
never before or since known. There
have been other crossing accidents
locally and there is hardly a village
in the county that has not expert
enced like sad accidents and the same
may be said of communities out over
the state and nation.
A person would not consider it safe
to be riding in a street car where
the conductor or motorman did not
get out to look before crossing the
railroad tracks. The same is true
of commercial buses, school buses,
and other public conveyances. They
do not take those precautions for the
fun of it, and the fact of the matter
is that the public would put up an
awful howl il they didn't exercise due
care, and justly SO. If the street cars
and buses have time to stop at rail-
road crossings the individual auto
mobile drivers have time also. Fur
Their, the driver of any car with pas
sengers in ESPECIALLY helpless
children-has a responsibility and a
big one that he must not overlook.
If any one thinks it is foolish or
time wasted to stop the car at rail-
road crossings it is because he has
not driven a car long enough and does
not realize the danger that turks
there, or else it is a case of pure
recklessness. The law in regard to
stopping at railroad crossings marked
"Stop" was made with due fore
thought There are altogether too
many disregarding this very neces-
sary and essential statute and in time
only results in too many grief-stricken

FARM EQUALITY MEET
is SET FOR ST. PAUL

One of the most important meetings
of farm organization representatives
in the history of the Northwest will
be held at st. Paul in July, according
to ]. F. Reed, president of the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation.
This meeting is being called on sug-
gestion of the Corn Belt Committee,
representing thirty-six farm organi-
cations in the Middle West, with
membership of more than one million
farmers.
This July meeting in St. Paul will
draw up a plan of action to get for
the farmers equality with industry
and labor, in national affairs.
Equality for Agriculture will be
the keynote of this meeting, which
now promises to become one of the
historic milestones in the farmers
fight to obtain an equality in Con-
gressional and Presidential consider
alton with that given the Industrial
interests of the country.
The exact dates for this meeting
will be announced in the near future.
AS preliminary to sending out the
call for this general Northwest meet
ing, President Reed, with Frank W..
Murphy of Wheaton, and others, at
tended a conference of the Corn Belt
Committee held at Des Moines, Iowa.
Following the conference at Des
Moines, leaders of the Corn Belt Com
mittee came to St. Paul, where a
second conference was held, and de-
cision reached to call the Northwest
meeting in July.

HAND SIGNALLING
NOW SIMPLIFIED
Arm Extended Gives Warning to
Other Drivers.-New Law Ends
Confusion.

Confusion as to the meaning Of
hand signals should be reduced to 6
minimum if drivers will read and OBJ
serve the new Minnesota traffic code
The trainers of the Hoover uniform
traffic act, which was the basis OIL
the new Minnesota law, were aware
that attempts to have different kinds
of hand signals for left turns, right
turns and stops, had led to misunder.
standing, and therefore provided fol
only one hand signal Motorists in
Pine county may be interested in this
section of the new law, which reads
thus:
'The driver of any vehicle upon
a highway before starting, stop
ping or turning from direct line
shall first see that such move
ment can be made in safety, and
if any pedestrian or cyclist may
be affected by such movement
shall give clearly audible sig
nal by sounding the warning de-
vice and whenever the operation
of any other vehicle may be affect
ed by such movement shall give
signal either by extending the
arm horizontally from and be-
yond the left side of the vehicle
or by an adequate mechanical or
electrical signal device, plainly
visible to the driver of such
other vehicle, of the intention to
make such movement at least fif-
ty feet before stop or turn is
to be made, except that the, re-
quirement of signal by a warning
device shall apply to motor We
hicles only"
Since a right turn ordinarily doe:
not affect the movement of other We
hicles, no signal to drivers in thu
rear is required. While no ruling ha!
been made, the operation of a "stol
light" would probably be considered
an adequate signal of an intention t.
stop, and the extended arm or som,
special device must be used to war;
of a left turn or when starting from
the curb
But driver of a car not equippe,
with a stop light would under tn
law be required to give a hand sigma
when stopping in the travelled portion
of street or highway. The han,
signal, therefore, will stand for JUS
one thing: call for caution on tn
part of the driver following.
A vehicle whose driver has sig
nailed left turn, may be passed OF
the right. If all drivers when max
ing a left turn will drive near tn
center of the street or highway an
give a signal, it will both expedit
traffic and prevent many accidents.
Next week the American will pub
lish the provisions of the new lay
relative to stopping and parking.

evening the mistress told her that she
