DOwnes to Take Charge
 Of Repairs to School

Although no architect or con- tractor has ben named to supervise the work of repairing the Israel Putnam school on Osgood avenue which was partially destroyed by fire Thursday evening, it is probable that Max Unkelbach will make several designs which will aid in the repair of the building. School Building Su- pervisor John E. Downes will take over the duties of contractor and will employ workmen to assist him, Superintendent s. H. Holmes indi- cated today.
 A meeting of the finance commit tee will be held tomorrow afternoon at which final decision on the mat ter will be made. It is probable that Architect Unkelbach, who made plans for the building when it was the Osgood Hill school will be asked to draw sketches for four additional rooms which are expected to be ad- ded to the building at cost of $60.- 900. This would give the school 12 class rooms.

WILL EXHIBIT CURIOS
Eastman Collection, Given to South
 Congregational Church, Win be Displayed at Library.


 The collection of missionary curi- os, owned by the late Miss Eliza beth R. Eastman which was present. ed to the South Congregational church will be loaned to the New Britain institute. according to an an- nouncement by officials of the church. This was decided by a re- cent vote of church officials. Miss Eastman was very much in- terested in missionary work. both home and foreign. during her many years of activity with the South church. She organized years ago, her Sunday school class into Mis- sion band, with missionary work as its objective. Several members of this band eventually went into the foreign missionary work. The class organized under the name "Banyan Seeds"
 Curios from all parts of the world. many of them gifts of former pupils who had gone into the foreign mis- sionary field, were collected by Miss Eastman over a period of years. Two or three years ago she presented the collection to the church.
 Recently it was voted to loan the collection to the library for cxhibi- ton in the museum, and the transfer will be made in the near future.

MARINES SAILING
 FOR NICARAGUA
Wartime Scenes Re.eaactA d
 American Ports

Washington. Jan. . R-The oft- recurring picture of American marines sailing for duty in foreign lands was afforded aS three port cities today as endorsements for tho Nicarasuan campaisners as- sembled at San Diego. Cal, Norfolk. Va. and Charleston. s. c.
 At the head of tho marines at Charleston was Major General John A. Lejeune. commandant of the corpa who is bound for the Central American republic to gather first hand information of the strife there involving his marines and the forces of the inshrrecto. Augustine san- dino.
 In Charleston harbor were the cruisers Trenton. Raleigh and Mil- waukee, designated to carry the Paris Island battalion of leather. reckh The Trenton. flagship of the cruiser group, which is commanded by Rear Admiral George c. Day. as- signed quarters to General Lejeune, while Brig. Gen. Logan Feland. who is to command the augmented marine force in Nicaragua will travel aboard the Raleigh.
 The bulk of the marine force from the east was at Hampton Roads. Virginia, where the mine layer Ogala put in to take 450 en- listed men and officers aboard. About the same number of men were assembled at Andiego. with the mine layer Argonne assigned to them as transport.
 The Norfolk contingent, compris- ing nearly half of the hastily formed eleventh regiment, is commanded by Colonel Robert H. Dunlap. Most of the men are veterans, and none is being taken to Nicaragua who has less than six months to serve Of his enlistment. Good-bycs reminis- cent of World war days were said at the marine base yesterday as the men and officers equipped them selves for a long campaign.
 When the 1000 marines from the east and west coasts unite with the men now on the scene. the force in Nicaragua will approximate 2,400 They will devote their activities, General Lejeune said before leaving Washington yesterday, to eliminating Sandino from the otherwise peace- full Nicaraguan horizon bef0re the August elections"
 The general intends merely to in- spect his charges in Nicaragua and gather information which probably will be of value to the administra- ton in It's study of the situation. which has provoked much criticism in and out of congress. Actual com- mand of the campaign will be left to General Feland. General Le- jeune may penetrate interior Nic- aragua as far as Quilali, present center of Sandino's activities, and upon leaving will sail for the west coast of the United States to inspect marine attachments there.

M'KINLEY PARKLETs

The past winter was marked by the heaviest fall of snow this region has seen for many years.
 Oldtimers are prophesying the coming summer will be the wettest and have the most mosquitoes, that ever were known in these parts.
 A pedigreed silverblack vixen on a fox ranch here gave birth this spring to hitter of 10, large pups, all of which are alive. The pups weighed four and one-half and five ounces ait birth. The same vixen gave birth last year to nine pups. This is probably worlds record for the silver fox. Blue foxes have had a greater number reported in one litter.
 The moose and caribou are treking east and make their appearance around here in great numbers.
 "Dinty" Moore's feet got to itching when he saw the wild geese and ducks flying north, so packing up his bed roll went north too.
 The heavy snows the past winter seemed to be the cause of a great many mountain sheep perishing of starvation. It seems when no longer able to find food the sheep would come down to the valleys and tramp all the snow down around a bunch of spruce trees, eating all the bark and boughs within their reach, and were found dying or dead.
 The numerous bands of wolves and coyotes seem to have wintered fine. | Among such animals as foxes and those that rear their young in the spring of year, the whelping time has been very late-in some cases as much as month and a half
 The animals in the Park for the I next two months, when not rustling eats, will be posing for the movie cameras, and after that will be in the movies. The camera men expect to be finished by July 4th.
 The tourist concern in the Park are busy getting their outfit shined up ready for the official opening of the Park. A few early tourists are now passing this way.
 The Alaska Road Commission have been busy since February hauling in bridge timbers and camp supplies along the line of the road they are building into the Park. Tn about 10 days the big gangs will be put Ito work for the summer. They will likely have three camp going this season.
 The trappers who had their lines in this region last winter, in the main, had much below the average catch of fur. The fur bearing animals were just as plentiful as ever, but the steady fall of snow made it impossi- ble for the trappers to keep their traps clear, all had to shorten their lines, while some pulled their traps at Christmas in disgust and quit.

THE RIVAL Statesmen

A couple of statesmen for two rival
safe manufacturers CHANGED to meet
in the lobby of hotel, and each be-
gan praising the particular make of
safe that he was presenting.
One of them said, "Just to give you
an illustration of the superiority of
our safes, I will tell you of a test we
made recently. We put a living roos-
ter in one of our safes, built a huge
fire around it, and left it in this in
tense heat for twenty-four hours.
When we opened the door of the safe,
the rooster stepped out, Tapped his
wings, and crowed as lively as when
we first put him in"
THAT is nothing" remarked the
other salesman "Our company made
the same test, putting a living rooster
in safe and leaving it in a fire for
twenty-four hours. But when we
opened the safe, the rooster was
dead"
''Ha. ha" laughed the first sales
man; 80 l thought"
EYES," returned the other; "he was
frozen to DEATH"

SOUNDS SUSPICIOUS, MARY

The members of the family were
eating breakfast when the small son
piped up in his excited, childish
voice.
81 saw Mary and her new beau in
the hallway last night and he had his
arm
"Buster!" This came sharply from
his sister, who frowned meaningly at
him.
"Well-Gee, sis! was just gonna
say that he had his arm"
THAT will be enough!' admonished
his mother, who felt that all was not
right.
well, MAJ" he said persistently
81 was just gonna say that he had
his arm"
Leave this table at, once!' This
from the head of the family-"and
not another word, young man."
The lad knew better than to refuse
so in his bewildered confusion he
got up, pushed his chair to the table
and slowly walked out. At the door
he paused and dashing the angry
tears from his eyes, he said defiantly:
well, all l was gonna say was
that he had his army clothes on!'

OPINIONS OF OTHERS
WANTS ECONOMY
Editor Askov American:


l have been very much impressed
by the Opinions of Others column in
the American in regard to snow
blowing the roads. BY so doing it
undoubtedly would mean an increase
in taxes, and as the others have eX-
pressed their opinions as to the taxes
being high enough and too high
too join in saying they are too high
1t is about time that somebody wakes
up and takes notice, as 1 see Hogans
Mirror has. They have been long
time to see their folly in bonding
this district the way they did. In
stead of helping the community with
their fine school, it has been a detri-
ment, because, as they say, taxes are
too high, nobody is buying land and
those who own land with timber on
it, are selling the timber and letting
the state have the land. Then who
is going to pay the taxes? The few
settlers can hardly do it for they are
overburdened now, so | say with Mr.
Stepan and others, keep the taxes
down if you wish to keep what few
settlers you have.
Yours for lower taxes and economy
all along the line.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President American Society for Thrift

1t is unfortunate that in much of
the so-called thrift work in this coun-
try encouragement has been given
only to the saving of money. One
cannot, of course, say naught of such
advice, excepting that it does not go
far enough.
Abraham Lincoln once said that
economy begins with saving money.
What he had in mind was the great
truth that in thrift the first steps con-
sist of laying aside money, but that
these primary practices do not con-
stitute thrift in its entirety.
Let the nation learn the words of
Lincoln that economy begins with
saving money" but let us emphasize
the fact that Lincoln made use of the
word begin. Saving money is only
the beginning of thrift.
Current events emphasize the need
of widespread thrift education. There
are thousands who have made the
start by saving money, but, unfortun-
ately, their thrift education has gone
no further. AS result one reads in
the papers almost daily of the eX-
posture of individuals who have de-
spoiled the cherished savings that
grew in many cases penny by penny
through a long term of years. Nc
greater tragedies appear in the col
umns of the press than many of the
stories of these misguided persons
whose lifetime accumulations have
been swept away.
Judging by the reports in the news
papers from day to day one seems
safe in assuming that there is ris-
ing tide of INSCRIPTIONS practices
based on insufficient popular under
standing of personal economics.
A great public duty confronts us all
in putting forth every effort to end
these Vaccinations. AS much at
tention should be given to teaching
the correct uses of money as is given
to the encouragement of saving
money. Simply to preach Save!
''Savew is not enough.
Wise spending and prudent invest
ing constitute just as much of the
problem of personal economics as
successful saving.

NOT so DUMB

Among the conservation measures
of the World war was a gasless Sun
day, when citizens exhibited their pa
triotism by leaving their automobiles
in the garage and hitching up Dob
bin. In one Southern camp orders
were issued that gasoline driven We
hicles would not be allowed inside
the gates.
A couple of women drove up in an
electric auto, and were promptly and
Importantly stopped by an M. p, who
told them it was gasless Sunday.
But" the lady driver remon-
strated, this car doesn't use gas
it's an electric"
Jaw, you can't fool me, lady," re-
torted the M. P. with gusto. Where's
your trolley?"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-01-26

There is an article that has been
copied by a number of rural weeklies
which is headed bad Advertising"
and originates with the Kansas City
Tribune. To be sure we have that
type of politicians who will make po-
litical capital out of most anything
and will holler about the awful con-
dition of the Northwest and the farm
er in general if it will make votes
for them, and we do not want to de-
fend that kind of talk and camouflage
But the plain and unadulterated
truth is in it's place even if it might
lose a loan from some of the Eastern
what is called the dread basket of
the world. Should we be tremb-
ling and at the mercy of the East?
Should say not. Should we keep
still about actual farm conditions,
the proportiQnate income of the
farmer with the industrialist for fear
that it might lose us a loan? The
thing to do is to get the farm on such
a paying basis that it is on equal
terms with other vocations and so
there is not so much need of bor-
rowing Cheap interest rates is good,
but it is far better to have the farm
er's dollar purchase 100 cents worth
of manufactured articles instead of
IS to 20 cents worth, than to have
interest rates reduced from six to
five percent on farm mortgages. Ma
ture has provided well and there is
enough for all of us when proper dis
tribution is made. Let us not get
all nerve-shot and be afraid that the
East will not lend us money and for
that reason be like little lambs and
afraid to tell the truth. We must
have courage and assert ourselves
