The Proper Time.

Much ado was made about Senator
Henrik Shipstead's what was termed,
delayed" statement of his intentions,
and there was great speculation
throughout the state, until he an
nounced last week he would file as
a Farmer-Laborite.
Just why anyone should have had
any misgivings, has not been made
clear, for if any public office holder
has done more than Mr.. Shipstead
for the farmer and laborer, in as
brief a time, then that man hasn't
come to the notice of the Askov
American.
1t seems everything must be done
as the politicians want it done, or
it isn't just right and proper" They
hollered and beloved for months
about Shipstead not making a state
ment, and through it all, Senator
Shipstead quietly told them there
always is q proper time for every
thing, and 1 will make a statement
when that time comes"
He did, and now that he did,

on stickers.
Larry Ho' is widely known as a
poet, orator and newspaper man. He
has been St. Paurs mayor for sew
eral terms-and probably will be for
several more, if he wants the job.
The voters of st. Paul gave notice
to the world that they had more con-
fidence in Larry Hos" business abil-
ity, than they had in the so-called
business candidates.
They acted wisely, for Larry Ho"
has proved his worth and then, st.
Paul might go lot farther-and do
worse.

HAVE SOME ADVANTAGES

All this propaganda about the small
town being doomed because of the
automobile and good roads, is nothing
but pure bunk started by people with
grievance against the smaller CEN
ters of population and kept going by
many of the business men themselves.
There never was a time when the
small town merchant had so great an
opportunity to make money as at the
present, and his success depends en-
tirely on how he uses the opportunity.
Through lower rents, taxes, insurance
and all overhead charges the small
town offers an advantage to business
men which the city cannot give. If
he understands displaying and mar
keting his goods and the art of adj
vertising; can welcome people into
his place of business with a smile, he
has a big advantage over. his city
competitor. No one who has work.
ing knowledge of business conditions
and has studied present day merchan-
dising problems will dispute this fact.

ON ADVERTISING

To say it pays to advertise is mere
ly repeating a truism. But occasion
ally we run across concrete examples
and here is one of them:
The town of Rayne in Louisiana has
a population of about 5000. In 1888
the Marvin-Kahn store was founded
there. 1t started with one clerk, but
it now employs thirty and does an
annual business of 100000 or more.
And remember, the community num-
bers no more than 5000 souls.
In commenting on the success of
the business the company manager
recently said: I'VE have done a gen.
eral merchandising business with dry
goods as the bulk of the business,
catering to the trade of ten parishes.
and advertising in every paper in our
section"
The meat of this statement is in
the last few words. By advertising in
the newspapers of the section, and by
giving the customers fair treatment
and honest values, this store has been
able to grow, even in a small COM
munity The same experience can be
found in many other places. Every
where it is the merchant who adver-
tises that has the best and biggest
store and the most business. The
fellow who has so little confidence in
his own business that he will not
tell his neighbors and friends about
it, just naturally withers up in bus
inaCS SpnSa and thp fault generally
is his own.
Advertising not only informs the
people of the community that the ad-
vertising merchant has the goods, but
creates demand for the goods where
there has been none before.
The age of isolation in business is
past and the fellow who wants to pro-
gress must keep on his toes and
stay abreast of the times.

who never gave up their vision of the
possibility of fairer world so long
as life lasted.
The disillusioned statesman who
has grown weary because it is not
easy to turn visions into reality may
grow cynical, but the visions remain
to be seen, to be reached for, to be
turned little by little into reality; and
those who will see these visions and
still reach for them are the ones who
keep the world moving ahead.
The disillusioned statesman who
no longer looks for a new heaven and
new earth isn't good for much more
except to engage in the vain effort
to keep things as they are.
And while they who do this are
also useful because they prevent too
precipitate experiments in the un-
tried, that effort to keep things as
they have been is more surely vain
than any imaginable effort to bring

.HOLDING OUT, ON GOD

Ten cents a week, or the price of a
soda, is enough for the Lord in the
opinion of some of the families in a
other families who attend the church
and think it can get along without
any financial help from them at all.
The church budget, according to a
pamphlet recently issued, is $4,000.
There are 4OS families in the parish
and 145 families contribute nothing,
leaving the total burden to the others.
1t is equally interesting to learn that
there are 431 automobiles in the 4OS
families, or more than one automobile
to each family. There are some
other interesting items, which may
have a familiar ring to the real work
ers in some other churches:
Forty families pledge per year less
than the cost of one tire.
One hundred and nineteen more ia
miles pledge per year less than the
cost of two tires
Five families pledge per week just
the cost of two packages of 'life saw
ers.'
Seven more families are happy to
contribute per week the cost of one
soda.
Twenty-eight more families esti-
mate the church's blessings per week
equal to one admission to a MOntclair
movie (if one sat in the balcony.
Forty-six more families prize their
religion in terms per week less than
a half pound of candy.
= Twenty-Five more families are con-
tent with a weekly gift of the cost of
two and half gallons of gas. How
far will the car go on that?
Fifty-two more families count it q
joy to subscribe per week a sum equal
to what many men spend for smoking
in one day.-Bemidji Pioneer.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY

With the almost universal popularity
of the motor car and the advent of the
motor bus and other quick means OF
transportation, the development of the
suburb and the small town a few
miles from the great city has been
greatly enhanced. The modern tend
ency undoubtedly is from the city to
the country, so far as the surrounding
country is concerned at least, in con-
trast to the trend a few years back.
The modern business is squeezing
the home of our centers of popula-
ton and the suburban movement
should be even further extended, &C
cording to Charles ]. Galpin of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. who
had an interesting article on the sub
iect in a recent issue of the National
Republic.
1.-The fact is that the city, modern
or ancient, is not satisfactory place
to live in and make home in and
bring up children in," Mr.. Galpin de-
clares. Continuing, he says: 1T is
not a good place to tee Off from in

city of moderns is vast workshop
at best. Business is in the drivers
seat and rides roughshod over life.
Let us go the limit of concession and
surrender the whole city to business,

Gods country and live while we live.
with trees at our door, with air to
breathe, with Gods sunlight pouring
in, with space to move about and
quiet to cover us.
Business is no reSpecter OF per-
sons in this matter of commercial in
vasion. AS the wealthy home must
move out of the way, so the poor must
move or be squeezed; and it is the
squeezed portion of the population and
the squeezing phenomenon that ar
rests our attention and causes our
outburst, protest and demand to zone
the city against dwelling.
1.-The tragedy of the case is not IN
being driven out by business, but in
remaining and having the life of the
home squeezed out by business"

would have liked to adopt him into

OUR MANAGING EDITOR

Joy Libby who came to the Amer
lean from the Minneapolis Star on
April list and has been employed here
since as managing editor, has now
decided to make it permanent i'll
Askov, having purchased a residence
and in another week or so Mrs. Libby
and their two children will move here
from st. Paul.
Being constantly on the alert to
better our newspaper and to give
our readers the best that we can
produce we took this step to secure
the services of an able and expert
enced managing editor. Men of Mr..
Libby's ability are rarely ever en-
ployed on rural weeklies. MIR. Libby
is young man in the thirties and
it is hoped that he and his family
will like it here in Pine county and
the business and the country. If
you have not already met the new
managing editor call at the American
office and get acquainted. AS a news
paperman it is well for Mr.. Libby to
know many and he enjoys meeting
folks.
Though young in years Mr.. Libby
has had IA years experience in the
newspaper game, commencing IN his
old home town of Grand Forks, N. D.,
where he was city editor and later
managing editor of the Grand Forks
American, being with that publica-
ton throughout its three years of
existence. He spent five years at
Grand Forks in newspaper work. For
time he was editor and later part
owner of the Aitkin Independent-Age
over in Aitkin county and following
that was Sunday editor of the Min
neapolis Tribune for two years. Later
he was night news editor of the
Fargo Forum, Fargo, N. D., and
after that was copy reader on the
st. Paul Pioneer Press fer a year
and was then employed as copy read
CIR on the Minneapolis Star "a few
months previous to his coming to
| Askov. Having had both city and
country experience and the fact that
he enjoys living in the rural towns,
Mr.. Libby fits we'll into the RESPONSE
| bic position that he has now taken
| with the American and we bespeak
success for him.

SHOULD HEED WARNING

This is the season of kite flying,
and, naturally, boys will be boys and
girls will be girls. Consequently.
kites will continue to dot the sky here
and there as of yore.
Flying kites is lots of fun. Nobody
is attempting to discourage its prac-
tice, but on the contrary, the boy or
the girl who wants to indulge in this
sport should by all means be- allowed
to do so.
However, as is the case with mostly
anything one does, kite flying has its
attendant dangers, and unless the ut
most care is exercised, tragedy may
be the result.
Several cases have come to notice
recently, where kites and strings
have come into contact with high
tension wires. Thus far, there have
been no injuries to children, but it is
well to lock the barn door before the
horse is stolen"
Power companies have issued warn
ings to youngsters, pointing out the
hazards of flying kites near power
lines. Should a kite with a wet string
or copper wire come into contact with
a high voltage wire, the boy or girl
flying the kite would in all prob
ability be killed.
Thus, those who wish to fly kites
are warned to do so away from any
and all wires, and it goes without
saying. that by all means, the warn
ing should be needed.

Without progress, society stagnates.
And without men who can still see

there is no vision, the people perish"

WHAT PRICE PEACE!

A League of Nations committee says
the World War cost 1852 500, 600, 900,
and about 100000 human lives.
Of the life cost, 1O,135,OO0 per-
sons in service were killed, and the
civilian mortality was increased
6,106,000 by war conditions, while
births diminished more than 100000
900.
What is it worth to the world to
reduce by 10 per cent the chance Of
another such catastrophe! What is
it worth to America?
President Wilson said in 1916:
"This is the last world war that we
can keep out Of" The event proved
we couldn't keep out of that; and that
the world is shrinking fast.
Since the war ended, telephone serv-
ice has been established between the
continents, and airplanes have crossed
the ocean. The next world conflict
will find us in it, up to our necks, and
that early in the game.
Admitting that no guarantee can be
absolute, what can the United States
afford to do and pay in honorable
ways for the reasonable assurance
of abolishing war? Is any Imaginable
cost or effort too high!-Labor
