A WORTHY STEP

The event that took place in Finlay-
son township misunderstanding
the burning of the bond-the wiping
out of all township debts some
thing that is worthy of note and the
example might we'll be followed by
other townships and governmental
subdivisions. Likely there are places
in Finlayson township where roads
are needed and improvements should
be made and the supervisors might
have pleased some of the settlers
more by making more improvements
and not be so strict in getting onto a
cash basis. This we shall not dis
cuss as we are not familiar with the
details. But one thing is certain and
that is that it is much easier to Gre
ate debt and obligations than it is
to stay out of debt Township Off
GERS are continually being urged to
do this and that and when they hold
back it is worthy of commentator.

WHEN MEN BECOME FIT

Arthur Brisbane generally
knows what he is talking about
and utters many facts in few
words, so his opinions must be
respected. He hands the men
something to think about in the
following:
An Episcopalian clergyman of Ann
Arbor, Mich, is supposed to have ad-
vocated experimental unions" with
out marriage to diminish promiscuous
immortality, kill the double stand
ard" and discourage divorce.
Bishop Manning of New York, says
any clergyman advocating "unmar.
ried unions" or 'sex experiments" fol
the young would be a dishonor to
the Christian church"
Fortunately it is not necessary to
worry. The young want no item,
porary unions" They want perpetual
happiness, seek some person that rep.
resents it, believe it is attainable, anG
marry. Sometimes they are dissa.
pointed, usually the mans fault, but
marriage will continue and be a per.
feet success when men become fit fol
it. It's a training school now.

their reports. These reports are &C.
cessible to everyone. Ask your book
seller or librarian.
The reasonable human being, en-
dowed with the capacity of Judging
causes and effects, soon knows what
to expect. His reasoning faculty be-
comes his prophet. If he does his
job sloppily, he knows it will not be
long until he is fired. If the business
in which he is engaged is crooked,
he knows he will be found out. If
he persists in bad habits he knows he
will suffer.
On the other hand, by PRACTISING
industry and thrift, and by using such
intelligence as he has, every man
knows he can make progress.
With just enough exceptions to
prove the rule, successful men are
invariably reasoning men. They ac-
cept the rules of the game and play
safely. When they try to beat the
iron law of averages, they are pre-.
pared to take their losses philosophic-
ally.-Tindeco.

FARMING COUNTRY LOOKS GOOD

All those from Askov who attended
the recent church conference at Des
Moines, Iowa, enjoyed the trip and
the good meetings. The course OF
travel takes autoists through the Won
derful farming country south of the
Twin Cities and large part of Iowa
where there is a good sized grove on
every farmstead and it looks pretty.
On the return home from the cOnven-
ton the editor of the American and
his family journeyed over to DEBORAH,
in the northeastern corner of Iowa,
for a days visit with relatives and
to see that city which is quite CEN
ter for tourists. DEBORAH is the home
of the big Norwegian Luther college,
and Decorah-Posten, semi-weekly
paper with a circulation of $4,000, the
largest circulation of any Norwegian
paper in the world, is printed and
published there. G. S. Strandvold,
a brother-in-law of the writer, is one
of the editors. The newspaper has
a regular modern daily printing plant
and it was a pleasure to inspect it.
The Luther Publishing House is also
located at DEBORAH. The city, which
has a population of but 5000 is noted
for it's scenic beauty. 1t is located
in a valley surrounded by very steep
hills on which are rock formations and
steps have been carved out in the
stones so they are easily accessible to
the tops where one gets splendid
view of the surrounding country, the
beautiful green fields and farm lands
in the wales. The ice cave-One OF
few in the country-is place of un-
usual interest. 1t is a natural dug
out between mighty rocks in the side
of a hill. By walking in hundred
feet or so one can pick up handfuls
of ice at any time of the year. The
city has a splendid natural park on
the outskirts where the celebrated
Luther college band as we'll as other
local bands give concerts. Leaving
DEBORAH we travelled on Highway St
toward Minnesota up to Preston and
then on No. 9 to Austin. From there
on No. 40 to Owatonna and then fol-
lowed the pavement on No. 1. About
as pretty a farming country as was
seen anywhere on the entire trip is
in the vicinity of Preston. The road
goes up hill and down vale for miles
and when on top of the hills one can
see for miles about At this time of
the year when all is grew the sights
around Preston are especially beauti-
full. 1t is difficult to imagine any
prettier and we'll kept farming coun-
try than that around Preston.

LOOKING FOR SUCKERS

I Get-rich-quick schemers are al
ways looking for customers, some
times called suckers. Retail stores
are quite a necessity in our scheme
of distribution, they render service
and would be hard to get along with
out. Many different kinds of small
one-horse mail order concerns and
house-to-house canvassers are prey
ing on the pocket books of people.
But where are those fellows when a
person wants and needs something?
Then it is mighty convenient that
there is store nearby that keeps a
stock on hand. Some time ago there
was a necktie concern in Philadel-
phia that sent necties to people
sort of forcing their goods upon
people-high pressure craftsmanship.
OF course postage stamps were in
cluded for the return of the neck
ties in case the party to whom they
were sent did not want to keep them.
AS we remember it, dollar should
be sent to the company in case the
goods were kept. Undoubtedly thous-
ands bit and it took just that much
patronage away from the local stores
where a person likely went next for
neckties and other goods and which
help pay local taxes. The field man.
ager of the Minnesota Editorial As
ISOLATION writes there's another. A
concern calling themselves the Peer
less Jewelry Co., is offering pearls
for dollar and doing a rushing
business. Information from Ellis
worth, Mimi, where they are operat-
ing, says the Peerless Jewelry Co. is
an individual about thirty years old,
with no business place. He buys the
pearls for Is cents in big lots and
sells them for dollar. This infor-
nation also indicates that he is
catching lots of suckers"

RESPONSIBLE FOR ADJUSTMENT

Writing about a woman who had
become discouraged and was wonder
ing what life is all about, Grove Pat
terson says: MANY of us wonder-of-
ten. The common road is rough; the
struggle not easy. Don't think you
are the only one in line who carries
a load on his shoulders. The smil-
ing man, the smiling woman next to
you, may carry a heavier one. We
are not responsible for all the cir
cumstances which confront us. But
we are responsible for the manner of
our adjustment to those circumstan-
ces.

OPINIONS ON SPEED
mot ALWAYS THUS"
CLIPPING REVEALS
(Des Moines Tribune-Capital)


The airplane flights of Captain
Charles A. Lindbergh and Clarence
Chamberlin and Charles Levine &C
ross the Atlantic at the rate of 1OC
miles per hour and more, cause mod
ern folk to speculate on the immin-
ence of regular intercontinent ali
travel in the same instant they think
of the marvels of the trip.
1t was not always thus, as w. M
Romine, district passenger agent for
the Great Northern Railway company
called to mind yesterday, events in
early transportation and railroading
history. The attitude toward speedier
transportation in earlier days was
most aptly contrasted with present
day thought in record produced by
Mr.. Romine.
The text of his treasured clipping
is as follows:
''The year after the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad received it's charter, in
1928, the school board of Lancaster,
O., was asked to allow the use of the
schoolhouse for a debate on whether
or not railroads were practicable.
The answer was: '"@
I'VE welcome the use of the school
room to debate all proper questions
in, but such things as railroads and
telegraphs are impossibilities and a
rank infidelity.
There is nothing in the word of
God about them.
" If God had designed that his in
telligent creatures should travel at
the frightful speed of fifteen miles
an hour by steam, he would have fore
told it through his holy prophets. 1t
is a device of satan to lead immortal
souls down to hell "

When Lindbergh crossed the Allan
tic in the air, folks here and there
were claiming relationship. Evident
ly there is a desire to be in good
company. One Minnesota editor re-
marks that while he can't get into
the limelight by claiming any re-

Lindbergh, there are several men in
his town who have motor cars from

JOIN THE RED CROSS

San Francisco, Oct. - Every
Red Cross chapter in the west
has been asked to pledge it's CO.
operation in great, nation wide
endeavor to enroll five million
members ia the American Ma.
tional Red Cross for 1928, ac-
cording to an announcement
made today by, J. Arthur Jeffers,
manager of the Pacific Area.
This action follows immediate.
~ upon the adoption in Wash.
ington, D. c., October 3rd, by
the Red Cross Central Commit.
tee of a resolution setting five
million as the membership goal
and stating that this increase
over the present 3.087, 789 mem.
bership is imperative if the Red
Cross is to continue to respond
to the enormous demands made
upon it for service, particularly
in the field of disaster relief.
In spite of most rigid econ.
omy Of operation" states Mr..
Jeffers, the Red Cross has
been spending each year a sum
considerably in excess of its an
nual income. We cannot con.
tinue to do this. and unless we
greatly increase our annual mem
bership dues our program will
have to be severely curtailed."
The news of the Central Com.
mittee's action was relayed by
wire from San Francisco to.the
three hundred Red Cross chap.
ters ia Alaska, Arizona, Idaho,
California. Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, and Washington, urging
each of them to strive for q
membership goal which would
bring the areas total TO $40, 900,
the vests share of the nations
5000, 900 members. Immediate
responses began coming in from
chapters in all sections of the
area pledging hearty support
and enthusiastic acceptance OF
their goals.
On the same day the West re-
ceived signal recognition in the
awarding to the State of Cali.
