P. T. A. CONDUCTS
GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
Professor Madsen of the Univers-
ity and J. P. Miller, County
Superintendent of Schools
Speak; Picnic Plans Talked.

What was acclaimed by all as one
of the most entertaining and instruct
i've meetings of the year, was conduct
ed last Friday night by the Askov
Parent association in the
high school building.
Principal speakers were Professor
T. B. Madsen of the Norwegian de-
partment of the University of Mime
sofa, and J. P. Miller, superintendent
of Pine county schools.
Opening his discussion with greet
ings from Professor Bothne of the
university, Professor Madsen pointed
to the great heritage the Scandinav-
ians have, mentioning Henrik Ibsen
and BjSrn Stjerne Bjornson as exam
Piles.
Madsen's Talk.
Taking the Latin word "amplius,'
meaning bigger, Professor Madsen
"dissected" the word, taking each let
ter to bring out his thoughts.
Beginning with the letter "a" he
said it stood for activity, or industry,
not loafing. Leisure is an Idea, not
an IDEAL" the speaker said, pointing
to the great sacrifices made by Mil
ton, Abraham Lincoln, and Alexander
the Great to accomplish their life's
purpose.
The letter IN" is for maintenance
perseverance. 1t is possible to
specialize so much that a person may
not hn ho coi1
"The test of integrity and perser-
verance," Professor Madsen continued,
sis to put one up against obstacles.
difficulties" he maintained, "are the
stepping stones to the strong, but are
the stumbling blocks to the weak"
" purpose"
~"P',, according to the professor,
stands for purpose" One must have
direct and definite goal to succeed;
not just mark time. Aim a little
higher than you can reach" should
be the universal motto, he said.
81" which stands for learning, he
went on, means simply character and
common sense.
I'VE need learning-the three RS
surely, but we don't have to get all
our learning in schools.
Il" means instantaneous" ~"
Usefulness, and IS" Sincerity"
Regarding usefulness" the speaker
said that the ideal should be "serv-
ice,-love for others with the resultant
increased happiness"
"Sincerity," he said, "is the test of
real character. What is the use of
a lot of brains with no heart? One
should have a noble purpose in life.
These things" Professor Madsen
concluded, "are some of the ideals to
hold before children and young peo-
pie"
Miller's Talk.
Mr.. Miller's address was devoted to
the subject of reforestation.
pine county should plant some
more pines, or change its name" ac-
cording to Mr.. Miller. '"They furnish
shade. in the summer and shelter in
the winter, and will provide wood for

HINCKLEY WILL HAVE.
NEW FILLING STATION

A new oil station is being con-
structed along the highway No. 1
in the business district of Hinckley.
The station is being built by the
Northwestern Oil Co. and will be
operated by it, after the building
is completed.
There were two fine oil stations
built last year. This makes eight
stations where gasoline is sold in
Hinckley.
Hinckley has a very suitable loca-
ton for a large gasoline trade, for
it is the midway point between the
twin cities and Duluth.

MEN ADMIRE
HEALTHY AND !,
ACTIVE WOMEN

1t is not only beauty Of face
and form that men admire in
women; very often it is the
youthful energy and radiant
health that enables them to be
joyfully active.
Men admire women who
take an enthusiastic part in
the activities Of modern life:
and o I'M who possess the
necessary health and strength
for such activity invariably
win and hold the admiration
Of their family and friends.
If you are leading q mono
tonous, shut-in existence be-
cause Of that "tired-feeling,"
due to physical neglect, why
not start taking a good tonic?
Thousands of women who were
rundown, weakened and dis
couraged have gratefully tes-
titled to the help they have
received from St.Joseph's
G.F.P.
This rich. vegetable tonic
contains Natures own medi-
cines in the form Of roots and
herbs which have been used
