MOUNTS OBSTACLES
TO FINISH SCHOOL
Steve Johnson Completes High
School, Begins Legal Course
After Marriage :

S. S. Johnson, .familiarly known
as Steve" to practically everyone in
Redwood Falls recently spent several
days with his parents at Minneota.
About two years ago Mr.. johnson,
who was employed in Redwood Falls
by the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway, left here and shortly after
leaving married Miss Ruth Cooper, al
so well known to Redwood Falls peo-
pie. Mr. Johnson is now attending
Chicago University taking a legal
course. The manner in which he
finished high school and entered the
university while working is told by
the Minneota Mascot The story fol-
lows: .
Steve began working as a helper at
the local depot after he returned
from service with the United States
army in France and there learned
the principles of telegraphy, which
profession he has been following
since. AS operator he has held many
responsible positions with the North
western in the past eight years. He
has been at Redwood Falls, St. Char
les, Sanborn, Winona and a number
of other places. He has served his
company well and in recognition of
his capable work he was transferred
to the head office last winter.
All the time that he has been work
ing for the railroad company Steve
has been preparing himself for work !
in another field. Some years ago he
thought he would like law as a pro-
fession and at once he set about to !
cut away the obstacles that stood be-
fore him and that field He had
been forced to leave high school at
Minneota while he was yet in his
freshman year so he had to get the
equivalent of high school education
before he could begin upon the course
Of study which ends in admission to |
the bar.
Working in his spare time, he prac-
tically completed the high school
course at ST. Charles, Mimi, in three
years. His railroading job there kept
him busy from four in the afternoon
until midnight, thus he was "free"
to go to school at the regular time.
At the time Steve went to st. Charles +
he was a married man, having mar
ried a Redwood Falls girl shortly be-
fore going there.
When he was transferred to Chica-
go Steve had Is high school credits
and in order that he might enter the
University of Chicago he had to have
one more credit in foreign language.
To satisfy this requirement Steve
took an examination in Icelandic |
from Professor Gould, of the Univer-
sity When he was awarded his cred
it in this subject the last barrier be-
tween him and the coveted college.
was removed and last
spring quarter saw Steve entered in
the University of Chicago, starting
his pre-legal training at that time.
When he came here to visit this week
he had just finished attending the !
summer session at Chicago and will
resume his studies at that institution
on October 1st.
While he is attending the Unlver-
sity Steve is working as he did at ST. I
Charles from four to twelve at night /

Glencoe. where. if sufficient funds are
raised. the boys will lodge Friday

the spirit of fight is noticeable among
the players.

OUR POLICY

Thirty-five years ago the first store
of the Askin & Marine Go. chain

who opened that store-Mr. Samuel
Askin-is yet today the directing
head of the organization which has
grown to seventy-two stores locat-
ed in the larger cities Of the United
States.
The founder had certain ideals
which he incorporated into his bust
ness, and to these ideals he at
tributes the success of this bust
ness. r.
He believed then-and believes to-
day-that practically every man
and woman is honest. He has ex-
tended credit to over ten million
people during the past thirty-fve
years-and has proven to his own
satisfaction that you can safely
trust the average person. Thousands
of merchants have copied his credit
plan-but none so successfully as he.
He believed that to succeed you
must give the public service. Aslzin
& Marine managers are schooled to
render every courtesy and service to
our customers and patrons. We
strive to satisfy our customers in
every way.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 24.-Re-
organization of the financial system OF
its mission work was voted by the
Board of Foreign Missions of the United
Lutheran Church of America, which
met here this week
One of the committee recommend
ationS adopted was that the treasurer
should be one trained in financial and
accounting work and that an eXpe-
rienced layman should be elected to the
post.
A general reconstruction Of staff and
work was voted, among the principles
adopted being:
I'VE believe that successful admin
iStratjon of the financial business of
the board as well as all of it's other
departments can be accomplished only
by a well balanced organization, and
that this is possible only by placing
the supreme responsibility and authority
in the hands of one person, and we
recommend that the board elect a
strong and capable man to carry out
its policy and instruction with the
assistance of the other members of
the organization, but with full author
ity under the board"
The special reorganization committee
recommended administrative work be
divided into four departments, to be
known as the home base, foreign fields,
literature and finance departments, each
with standing committee.
