energy and enthusiasm of youth
should be held in high esteem. But
equally estimable is the wisdom that
is able to guide and control that en-
ergy with the older hand of expert
ence."
How full of truth is the foregoing
quotation and coming from man OF
Henry Ford's calibre, it is very de-
monstrative in it's meaning. THE
Man is No Older Than He Feels is
an adage that will hold true for all
time. If a man places himself in the
right environment early in life and
assemblies the correct TOOLS" as Mr.
Ford expresses, there is no end to his
accomplishments in later years. But
on the other hand, if he gets started
wrong and does not keep in the cor
rect environment, and does not keep
abreast of the times and ever strive
to do right and advance, he will get
old and down-and-out, so to speak, be-
fore his time.

WISDOM AT FORTY

Henry Ford says in a current maya
zine article: up to the age of forty
a man is in training-every man is.
He is assembling the tools with which
to work. When the tools are at hand,
they can be put to their real uses"
In these strenuous days, when so
much emphasis is placed on youth
and its dynamic qualities, there has
been an inclination to belittle the
usefulness of the man who has passed
his 'so-called prime.
What is mans prime? Essentially
it has nothing to do with calendar
years. Many a man of seventy is
more alert. more mentally acute,
than his sons. But over and above any
mere physical and mental exuberance
man may retain, there is the judg-
ment he still is "in training" as Mr..
Ford puts it. And it is this quality
that justifies, and always will justify,
the presence of the "old heads" in the
hurly-burly of everyday affairs.
1t is right that the inexhaustible

SIGNIFICANCE OF LABOR DAY

Labor Day is a day set aside as a
legal holiday in nearly all of the
states and territories of the United
States. In 1884 on the resolution of
George r. Lloyd, one of the knights
of Labor, it was decided that all flu
ture parades should be held on the
first Monday of September, and that
the day should be known as Labor day.
Workingmen's organizations all over
the country then began an agitation
to induce the state legislatures to de-
clare the day legal holiday, and on
March Is, 1887, Colorado led the way
to be quickly followed by New Jersey.
New York, and Massachusetts. The
great majority of states have accepted
the first Monday of September as
Labor day"
Now Labor day programs are held
all over the United States on the first
Monday in September. and in many
places schools are opened on the fol-
lowing day instead of beginning their
term on the first Monday, as would
otherwise be done if it were not for
the significance of this day.

PROMINENT ASKOV
GIRL, RECENT BRIDE

On August Goth at Duluth occurred
the wedding of one of the commun-
ity's most respectable young ladies to
Fredolin Martinez of near Kerrick.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
w. ]. Barr, of the Central Avenue
Methodist church of Duluth.
The bride was reared to woman
hood in this community and is the
eldest daughter of Mrs. Mary Swan
son. Miss Swanson taught in the
schools of Pine county for several
terms and also held the position as
bookkeeper for the Western Grocery
Wholesale House of Minneapolis for
two years.
The groom is the youngest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Martinek of east

PEOPLE AND THE COMMUNITY

1t is heard frequently in various
localities, This town or this COM
munity is rotten" First let us con-
slider who makes the town or the COM
munity. If this same person or these
same persons would stop to think and
| consider this question, how little time
they would find to go out in public
and condemn their own influence in
the making of their community
when in fact it is their duty as much
as the other fellows duty to perform
in such manner as to make the old
home a pleasant place in which to
live. Communities that are in the
public limelight today and those con-
stantly growing in inhabitants are the
ones where the citizens as a whole
pull together in their efforts to &C
complish things for the common good.
Where localities have one pulling this
way and one pulling that way, it is a
certainty that they can never accom-
pl1sh that which we all admire so
much, "A harmonizing community"

SAFE FLYING

Duluth and Superior had brought
home Wednesday forcibly the fool
hardness of stunt flying and the wis
dom of government regulations re-
curing that none but licensed pilots
be allowed to take passengers aloft
in planes.
The plane accident Wednesday in
which an aviation student took two
young boys aloft, contrary to all reg
ulations of common sense and depart
ment of commerce rules, resulting in
the painful death of one from burns
when their plane crashed, is an ex-
ample of this. Had the student OBJ
served the rules and refused to take
these boys up there would not have
been the first fatality marked up
against flying at the Head of the
Lakes. Or had he remained near
his base airport and refrained from
circling around an unsafe area as far
as landing was concerned, his mex
perience would not have been tested
as it was.
The plane in which he was flying
was one of the best and safest made.
No blame for the accident can be at
tached to the plane. The finest plane
made would be unsafe in the hands of
an inexperienced amateur flier who
had not passed the rigid tests imposed
by government regulations before a
filler can obtain his license and right
to participate in commercial aviation.
But on the other hand this accident
should not deter people in the least
bit from feeling the utmost confidence
in the many expert and licensed pilots
who have made flying the safe means
of transportation which it has become
today.
Department of commerce statistics
recently made public show that of the
small total of flying fatalities as COM
pared with the millions of miles
flown, the very largest percentage are
classed with just such crashes as &C.
Cured here yesterday with unlicensed
filters figuring in them. The number
of fatalities among licensed pilots fly
Out of 200 fatal crashes in 1927, 166
af them were planes flown by un-
licensed pilots.
BY giving legitimate aviation con-
Germs and licensed filters the utmost
cooperation and support and by in
sisting on observance of the wise rules
of the air promulgated by the depart
ment of commerce, the public can aid
those actively engaged in aviation in
decreasing the number of such avoid
able and deplorable accidents. Avia-
tion is here to stay. Just like motor
ing, certain traffic regulations must
be observed to insure safety. No
one bats an eye when some foolhardy
driver crashes his car to pieces while
breaking all traffic laws. Such a
thing is to be expected when care and
the rules are not observed. The same
thing may be applied to flying.

SUCCESS TO STURGEON LAKE

Sturgeon Lake has the champion
baseball team of the Pine County
League for 1928. This was decided
Sunday when they defeated Hinckley
by a score Of IL to 5, playing off
the tie between the two teams for
leadership in the second half of the
schedule. Sturgeon having won the
first half of the schedule, they were
thus declared winners of the 1928
championship and the pennant now
adorns the walls of the Sturgeon Lake
Garage where it can be viewed by
local people and travellers.
Sturgeon Lake has played consist
ent baseball throughout the season
and from all appearances the other
seven teams in the league are glad to
see them as champions and that they
have the honor of having the coveted
flag until the champions of 1929 have
been declared. The Lakers won the
first ten games played in the league
this season, being taken down by
Askov in the eleventh game by to
score, one of the best games seen
this year. One thing that Sturgeon
Lake has adhered to very closely and
that is maintaining a home team
a credit to them, and a thing that
builds for more interest and support
of the home fans. There are four
Anderson brothers-one of them
"Mac"-who has gained good repu-
tation as a pitcher; two Cunningham
brothers, both very good at the bat;
Swanson, a brother-in-law of the Cum

baseman; Upgren, the centerfielder;

/. A NEIGHBORLY BOOST

The Star Gazette of Moose Lake,
very close neighbors to Pine county,
just across the line in Carlton county
has the following to say about one OF
Pine county's candidates for the state
legislatures:
"Hjalmar Petersen, one of the pro-
prietors of the Askov American, is a
candidate for state representative
from Pine county and is putting on a
real campaign for the office. Far be
it from us to butt into the political
affairs of our neighbors, but if Mr.
Petersen is successful at the polls
next November, Pine county will be
represented by a man that will be
not only a credit to his own district
but to the whole state. Mr.. Petersen
is a hustler and has made a success
of his own business, and if the people
of Pine county see fit to elect him as
their state representative, they will
make no mistake on that point"

WATERWAY PROJECT AND
HOOVER
(By w. L. Harding)

(By w. II. I1dIuIuSJ
The plans for the Great Lakes Saint
Lawrence waterway, which is demand
ed by middle western farmers as a
partial solution of the agricultural
problem, have been advanced so far
under Herbert Hoover's consistent
support and championship that it
would be fatal to the enterprise now
to entrust it to an administration
headed by Governor Smith.
That is the assertion of former
Governor w. L. Harding of Iowa, an
nounced in a pamphlet released here
today by him and entitled Increased
Farm prosperity through the Saint
Lawrence Waterway. In this Gov
ernor Harding points out that the
Democratic candidate for president
orous foe of the waterway, although
at the present time he conveniently
doesn't know whether he is for it or
against it.
| Such vacillation, rooted in Cover
nor Smiths long series of acts un-
l.
way project, makes it vital for the
success of the undertaking to elect
Herbert Hoover president, Governor
Harding believes. He says there
| isn't the slightest question about his
position and the valuable work he has
done to advance the Saint Lawrence
seaway as well as comprehensive
system of cOordinated inland water
ways, including development of the
Mississippi.
Governor Harding gives graphic
account of the energetic efforts of
Mr.. Hoover in making the projected
route to the Atlantic a probability in
stead of vision. He also recalls the
numerous instances in which Cover
nor Smith has registered his oppo-
sition to the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee plan, the latest of which was
his message to the New York legis-
| lature last January.
The election of Governor Smith, Mr.
Harding points out, would certainly
bring to an end the fruitful negotia-
lions toward the project with Canada
which were begun following a favor
able report to congress in 1927 by the
investigating commission of which
Mr.. Hoover was chairman.
For many years the possibilities
of the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence
waterway have been discussed by
newspapers and public men of the
west, and the states between the AL
legheny and Rocky mountains are
thoroughly convinced that it should be
undertaken in preference to any other
outlet to the sea. This opinion is
based upon repeated Investigations OF
the most exhaustive character, and
the reports uniformly have been de-
cidedly in favor of the Saint Law
renee route. Further investigation
Governor Harding says, is sure way
to kill the enterprise.

AMUNDSEN'S FORGIVING ACT

When one goes over the history of
Roald Amundsen, he must needs ad-
mire the sterling qualities of which
the character of this man was maze up.
He must take in consideration the
things that this great explorer of
modern times accomplished and the
hardshipS he underwent to accomplish
them. He must think of the trench
douS last sacrifice that this unSelfiSh
servant Of mankind made, and the
last, it seems, to ever make on this
earth, when he started on his rescue
mission to give aid, if possible, to the
stranded Mobile crew of the Inflated
Italia. Think of the unselfish mo-
tive that was his when he threw
aside his bitterness toward the man
and started out on a mission of good
in his behalf, a mission to be frought
with hardships and probably death.
A bitterness caused, through the re-
ported wrongs that Mobile did him in
reporting the flight made together to
the North Pole some time before,
thus placing Amundsen in the back
ground as doing nothing and taking
most of the credit for himself and
Italy, when in fact it was Amundsen's
idea and was partially backed by an
American named Ellsworth.
Amundsen had every want in a
material way taken care of in this
world, yet he was not satisfied. He
wished to be doing something that
would be a benefit to mankind.
He has not been heard from since
an unselfish sacrifice was his life's
termination.

PARTIES HAVE THEIR SAY
FARMER LABOR VIEWS ON
POLITICS
(By H. G. Teigan)


Republican newspapers during the
past week have given publicity to the
fact that conditions in the party are
decidedly bad.
The expose of Schall's fight on
Christensen and Hoover published in
weeks ago compelled the Republican
newspapers to give reluctant pub
Lefty to these ugly facts themselves.
Schall now states that he expects
to vote for Hoover, although in 1920
he designated him "as British minded
as King George and as un-American
as any foreigner who ever came to
our shores to exploit our people"
Conditions no doubt have operated
to make Schall line up in measure.
Even so his lining up. is far from
satisfactory. He states that he is un-
qualifiedly for the equalization fee
provision in the farm relief measure
and will continue to fight for it and
that for that reason he cannot support
Secretary Hoover with any degree of
enthusiasm.
Will Not Campaign.
81 am a Republican STILL" says
Schall, but l expect to be very still
in the coming campaign. l cannot go
out and campaign for the state ticket.
l expect to seek reelection to the
senate two years from now and Gov
ernor Christensen says he intends to
be my opponent. l would look fool
ish going out on the stump for the
man who is going to fight me two
years from now. l see no reason why
l should single out Arthur Nelson,
candidate for the senate, as the only
Republican l should do active work
for"
The above is certainly an astound-
ing statement for Republican office
holder to make during a campaign.
There is perhaps no Republican Of
fetal in the land who would openly
refuse to support another Republican
nominee for public office on the
ground that the latter was planning
on becoming a candidate in opposition
to him at the next election.
The Republican newspapers are
hammering Schall hard for this be-
trayal of the party. The utter selfish
ness of these kept publicity agents
of the plunderbund is obvious. These
papers did not see fit to attack Schali
on account of his vicious and corrupt
campaign against Magnus johnson in
1924, but now that he sees fit to
repudiate the Republican state ticket
he is designated "a disgrace to the
Republican party" Moreover, the G.
o. P. press is threatening Schall with
dire results in 1880 for his opposition
to Nelson, Ted & Co. .s ..
= Some Republicans See the Light.
What no doubt is bothering Schall
and other Republican politicians in
respect to the situation is that they
see defeat staring the Republican
party in the face. Hoover's reaction
airy attitude not only on farm relief.
but on water power control, and the
more progressive stand taken by AL
Smith, the Democratic nominee and
by Norman Thomas, the Socialist can
didate, makes Republican defeat in
