1 see three hundred mentally blind
comrades helplessly cropping their
way through memories shadows.
They are in our great st. Cloud hos
pital built that they may at least have
rest and care as partial recompense
for service.
That well equipped and differed
hospital is a Legion monument denot-
ing tenacity of purpose, sense of re-
sponsibility, ability to perform. With
out the Legion it would not exist.
Every stone marks a step along our
road of service.
So long as our mentally disabled
comrades depend on us, there is need
for the Legion. So long as the Legion
lives they can depend on us for serv-
ice. Only so long as we serve them
may we be proud of our membership.
Realizing that but for the grace of
God their fate might have been ours,
we pledge through the Legion our
service to and for them, until for
them the dawn breaks and the sha-
dows flee.

townships to get real value for the
road money they spend is that the
money is not spent to build few
miles of good road each year. There
is no such thing as township sys-
tenn of roads. A few hundred dollars
are spent here and a few hundred dol
lars somewhere else. There is no def
mite or regular system of maintenance
of township roads. There is dragging
of course, but no system of mainte-
nance. The result is that the little
repairs made here and there are lost
for lack of maintenance. Nothing de-
teriorates so fast as maintained
road. The result is that year after
year the townships go on spending
thousands of dollars and then have
to spend other thousands of dollars
following years over practically the
same roads. That is, there is no per-
manency. The system is wasteful.
extravagant, and involves enormous
losses"
The new plan, says the Leader, "is
one of the longest steps in the direc-
tion of efficiency as well as economy
in road construction that the county
has ever undertaken"

TOWNSHIPS TO GET
COUNTY ROAD AID
Todd County Applies State Aid
Plan to Improvement of Local
Highways.-First County in
State to Try This Plan.

A system of county aid which is
expected to do for the town roads
what the state aid system is doing
for county roads,, was. adopted last
week by the Todd county board. Each
town board may designate certain of
its most Travelled roads as county aid
roads. The designation is to be ap-
proved by the county board, for the
purpose of securing uniformity, and
to the end that the roads from one
township may lead into another, thus
developing a road system. The coun-
ty aid roads will be built under the
supervision of the county engineer,
and the towns will be required to
maintain them just as the counties
are required to maintain the state aid
roads.
This is the system which has
given the county such excellent roads
the last few years and which, within
five or six years, will give us county
road system that will equal in quail
ity and permanency the state roads of
the county," says the Long Prairie
Leader.
1T is surprising as well as dis
heartening to look over the tax books
and find the enormous amount of
money raised by the townships each
year for township roads and then go
out and find how few are the road
building results obtained. The town
ships of Todd county have raised in
the neighborhood of $4,000 per year
for the past seven years with which
to build town roads. The county it
self has raised an average of only
$4,000 per year more, yet the county
has $50 miles of splendid road built
and improved to highway standards,
while so far as we can recall there
is not mile of such road built in
any township.

diet of the poor, housed the homeless,
clothed the naked, filed our schools
to overlooking, increased savings, low
cred the death rate, and advanced the
moral interests of the generation.
1.-The inmates of almhouses per
100000 decreased from 1875 in the year
before prohibition to 1873 last year.
The amount spent by charity societies
in the same period decreased "A per
cent, from $100,000,000 to $4,000, 900;
industrial accidents decreased 100000
per year. In the last wet year $2,136,-
last year $4,000, 100000. The NOR
tally rate last year was So per cent
of the last wet year. DR.. Hoffman,
foremost health statistician, says the
mortality rate from Bright's disease
diminished 20 per cent since 1917; it
is safe to say the decrease has been
far greater since. The result he at
tributes to the diminished use of
liquor. John HOWE, for fourteen
years proprietor of the Hotel Tour
aine, Buffalo, speaking before the
National Hotel association last July
said: I turned the bar into a coffee
shop. We take in through the coffee
shop $40 where we used to take in
81 for BOOZE"
An editor of a Quebec newspaper
says: The government of Quebec is
a beer government, a political ma
chine built upon beer; and, in fact,
the liquor business in Quebec is con-
trolled not by the government, but by
the brewers, and the brewers control
the government, too"
American drys are today fighting
the wet forces of the world, but we
have the right on our side, and if we
stick are bound to win.

ASKOV

Hedge B. Kilstofte and Jens Thorn
sen were business callers in the
Twin Ports yesterday.
The Olesen Bros. carpenter crew
has recently put the finishing touches
on Sigurd Stovring's new home and
it is now ready for an additional &C.
cupant.
Carl C. F. Jorgensen who has been
working in the woods over in Wis
consin, returned to Askov last week
and will spend some time on his farm
southeast of town.
John Karlin who has been in Chi
cago for some time, making his home
with his son, came to Askov Saturday
to stay at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. A. Henriksen.
Jacob Hansen of the Askov Hard
ware 6 Motor Co., is busy these days
installing a new style vacuum sys-
tenn steam heating plant in Holger
B. Kilstoftes residence.
MIR. and Mrs. V. S. Petersen, Mr..
and Mrs. Arnold c. Sorensen and lit
tie daughter and Mrs. p. N. Fenger
are leaving today via auto for Min
neapolis, where they will visit for
couple of days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Niels Serritslev re-
turned Tuesday evening from Mime
apolis where the latter went to seek
medical attention. The examination
revealed various ailments, the most
serious of which is a goiter. Several
operations would be necessary and
rather than undertake this now she
returned home.
Mr. and Mrs. Jorgen r. Petersen
and Mrs. And. P. lessen returned
home Saturday from their visit near
Kimballton, Iowa. Mr.. Petersen's and
Mrs. Jessen's mother, Mrs. Regime
Petersen, passed to the Great Beyond
March first and was laid to rest in
the Hamlin cemetery Saturday, Mar.
3. She was IA years old and the
immediate cause of death was from
d stroke complicated with other all
ments. Her husband preceded her
in death 81 years ago.
At the Farm Bureau meeting last
week in the D. B. S. hall, the matter
of organizing a Community club was
brought up for discussion. A motion
to organize such a club here was car
ried by a vote of about two-thirds of
those present, so there is evidently
good sentiment for it. 1t was left to
the chairman, Carl M. Madsen, to ap-
point committee of five 1.-TWO from
the village and three from the rural
district) whose duties it should be
to get the project started. Mr.. Mad
sen has since appointed the following
committee: Emil ]. Fogt, Otto Mad
sen, Emil Christensen, V. S. Petersen
and Svend Petersen. This committee
will likely have a meeting in the
near future and announce further
plans.
A. P. Jensen, Mrs. Geo. c. Jensen,
and Mrs. Jens C Jensen were in Min
neapolis Saturday to attend the fun
eral of their sister-in-law, Mrs. Mar
tin Jensen, who died from stomach
trouble after having been ill in
hospital for II weeks. Mrs. Jensen
was a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Steve
Olsen of Hopkins, the old gentleman
who entertained in Askov at a Da-
nish Brotherhood convention two
years ago and is known to many here.
Mrs. Jensen who was but 43, leaves
a husband and five children to mourn
her early demise. A brother of her,
Robert Olsen, was accidentally killed
in Minneapolis nearly two years ago.
The sympathy of Askov friends and
relatives is extended to the bereaved
family in their hour of great sorrow.
