Static Prevents Details of Thrilling Two Weeks Trek Across Wastes From Reaching Ctvtlization-Gas Forces Plane Down and Smoke Signals Attracts Attention of Res cuers to Plight.

New York, Sept { R-At the base of an ice cap in Greenland two daring adventurers of the air today were resting and thinking of how to return to Rockford, Ill, as soon as possible. The plane in which Bert HaEsell and Parker Cramer had made . periIous nonstop flight of some 1,so0 miles from Cochrane, Ont, after starting from Rockford, H., was 100 miles away abandoned on ice and perhaps smashed in weather. typical of Greenland. The Cradle of Storms"
 News Received
 The marvel of radio enabled news of their safety after two weeks ar- duous progress afoot to reach the United States in two minutes, but static, bane which science has yet to conquer. withheld details of their struggle of 100 miles by the most primitive method of movement in the Arctic when the most modern had failed them.
 The radio station of the New York Times, which received news Sunday of the fliers safety from the Uni versity of Michigan Greenland ex- petition at Mt. Evans. could obtain but fraEmentary messages Monday. Haxsell managed to get word through that his plane was about 100 miles from the camp of the ex- petition. which rescued the fiiers. Tho plane was undamaged when the hiers started their trek to the camp. but heavy winds soon afterward in- dicated to Hassell the possibility that the Greater Rockford might be smashed.
 Messages Wife
 He made inquiries about boat con nectiohs and sent message to Mrs. Hassell expressing the hope that he would see her soon.
 Indications were. however. that for some days yet the fiiers must re- main with the scientists at Mt. Evans who virtually live the life of Eskimos in order to study storms. Anthony Fiala. once an Arctic ex- plorer and now a merchant in New York. expects Professor William H. Hobbs, head of the Mount Evans expedition to return to this country in the fall. Fiala has furnished the expedition much of its equipment. He suggests that the aviators prob ably will return with Hobbs.
 One possibility of the fiers com ing home sooner is . line of freight steamers which runs from Philadel- phia to Ivigut. Iceland, some 400 miles from Nit. Evans, to obtain mining cryolites used in the manu- facture of soda, and glass. The fiiers would have to % to Ivigut to catch the steamer
 If the fliers should leave by the first boat available the task of sal vaging the plane would be left to members of the Mt. Evans expedi- ton.
 The hiers came down on the icy wastes of Point Eukkertoppen on August 1s and made their way through . wild and unexplored country seeking safety. They were picked up by members of the Uni

NATURE PROVIDES WELL

We may not all be equally beautiful
but nature provides well. Sometimes
we hear of a prizeighter getting an
operation on his nose, having some
bones removed, surplus growths and
the like, because he has permitted
his nose to be used for a punching
bag in order to gain fame and finan-
ces, principally the latter in this day
but when the ladies go so far as
to have operations performed on their
limbs to have them Strengthened for
beauty's sake it seems like that is
going too far. A young woman in
Chicago has undoubtedly regretted
that step if she is living today to
realize it. A few days ago she de-
cided to have her bowed legs straight
ened. Gangrene set in after the oper-
alton and it was necessary to ampu-
tate the legs. A blood TRANSMISSION
was then performed in a last minute
attempt to save her life. Even if the
legs are a little bowed that is far
better than to be without them.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS

by >. w. SIRAUS
President American Society for Thrift
1t is somewhat unfortunate that in
much of the current discussions of
thrift undue emphasis is placed on the
function of penny-saving.
Certainly no criticism can be level
ed at the doctrine of economy in little
things. Most business failures as well
as those which come to individuals
are the results of small items of
waste. However, true thrift only be-
gins with small savings. If this were
not true, one would be forced to COM
mend the practices of the miser.
AS the result of constant eXhorta-
tions to save pennies, save nickles,
and save dimes, many persons receive
such an erroneous impression Of thrift,
that they decide to have none of it.
Thrift should be emphasized as a
practice which means real progress
and rightful upbuilding. Of course.
this includes saving little things. 1t
is thrifty to save the pennies. 1t is
just as thrifty to save the moments:
to be careful of ones health; to store
the mind with useful knowledge; to
keep ones self sound mentally and
physically as well as financially.
1t is for this reason that in schools
where savings banks are in operation,
there should also be instructions given
to the young on the true purposes and
objectives of thrift. Continually harp
ing upon the point of saving pennies
is quite apt to have one of two major
reactions: O There is danger that
the student will develop a narrow,
tight-fisted, mercenary, avaricious at
titude. (2) There is danger that the
whole subject of thrift will seem Sc
trite and colorless that he will pay
no attention to it.
Thrift does mean penny-saving but
only as part of the greater plan OF
eliminating all waste in order to pro-
mote the highest possible degree OF
personal efficiency and usefulness.

STILL TALKING UNDESIRABLEs

We thought that this long after the
war the ranting about undesirable i'm
migrants was all out of date but here
comes the Anoka Union with the fol-
lowing squawk:
Lets have fewer immigrants and
better ones. Let's deport swiftly all
undesirables for there are many and
their influence is far-reaching."
To be real naughty we might say:
Sneeze, your brains are dusty, and
wake up and hear the birds sing. The
Union must not have been reading
the daily press reports of late. How
about deporting Hickman, Hotelling,
Remus, Gray, Snyder and some of the
others who should be 100 percent
ers"? Going back a little further
there is Fall, Doheny, Sinclair, and
Others Those are the birds" that
are costing us real money and some
loss of lives. Let's be up to date
while we are at it.

GOOD IDEAS AND ALSO
DETERMINATION

Good ideas should be accepted an,
made use of and the Ortonville indie
pendent gives out good opinion OF
the matter in the following words:
One of the greatest handicaps
to the progress of any small town
when progressive moves are I'M
dertaken is this question: ''Who
started it,"
Time and again someone has
taken it upon himself to arouse
interest in movements which
would make for a better town,
some citizen pipes up with the
question: 'Who started it,"
What difference does it make
who started it," so long as the
undertaking is worthy and of ben
eft to the city?
There is only this to be added t.
the above, that it is we'll to know tina
the one "who started it" is able t,
go through with it and that it is no
just an idea on the spur of the mo
ment. If we are not mistaken Their,

CRIME NEWS
Duluth News Tribune)

(Dulutn news IflDune)
Justification for publishing crime
news is based by Prof. William BleyeI
on four general grounds:
AS a means by which the public
through impaired information,
may protect itself
AS a check on those officials
who deal with crime.
AS a deterrent to criminals,
especially those who are not ha-
bitual offenders.
AS a means of driving from Of
flee men who do wrong.
The first is, of course, the basis fol
the other three. Information is the
public'S best protection. Many a
wrongdoer has one chief concern
that his acts should not become gen
orally known. He might be willing
to go into court and stand trial, il
that could be done privately. But he
doesn't want the public to know. AL,
most invariably, when the public
knows about wrongdoing, the effect
Is sanitary.
Take all this away, as some have
advocated, and you have left only the
very darkness that the criminal wants
whether he be a private or a public
character. Or segregate crime news
on one or two pages, as some propose
Then, indeed, you emphasize what
ever undesirable features it may have
just as it is unduly emphasized wher
it is played up out of all proportion
to its Importance.
Crime news is one of the newspaper
mans problems. No one has found {
way to relieve him of the RESPONSE
bility for printing it; they have only
succeeded in learning for themselves
the reasons it must be printed. And
no better way of setting it forth has
been offered than to treat it exactly
as any other type of news.

many other parts of the state over
Trunk Highway No. 1 and other
trunk roads. On the mile stretch
between Askov and Sandstone there
is but about two miles of real bad

would not be any great expense to
keep the road open and especially
in the ordinary winter-this one has
been an exception. 1t is more a mat

done. AskOv business men would
likely also be interested in keeping
the road open half way to Bruno,
then if Bruno came half way to
Askov, and so on between other vii

have to get out over the roads and
it is necessary for others at times

OPINIONS OF OTHERS
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Editor "Askov American:

Editor "Askov American:
The communication from "a Read

serves to remind your readers that
those who advocate capital punish
ment are so Obsessed with the idea,
that they will not yield even to sound
reasoning. But "A Reader" really
should not contradict the statement.
previously made, that I'VE are not
following the teachings of Christ
when we inflict capital punishment
for murder; he does it in this pecu-
liar way that by quoting Genesis he
makes it out that Christ favored cap
ital punishment!
The present writer is not aware of
Christ having said anything that could
be twisted into a justification of MUIR
der. But then "A Reader" depends
of taking it very literally.
What does he say, then, about the
Commandment, Thou shalt not kill"?
Does he want that interpreted ac-
cording to his own views, or accord
ing to the letter?
1t seems to the writer that it would
be best to keep out of consideration
the murderous laws of ancient peoples
in discussion of mOdern-day prob
lens. Times have changed and GER
tainly circumstances have changed.
But certain fundamental facts remain
unaltered, and one of them is that
whether an individual or state kills,
the deed is murder, just the same.
So is war.
Public opinion is strongly wrought
up because of recent murders that
were unusually hideOuS, and it clam
ors for revenge. 1t does not demand
justice; it does not crave sympathetic
understanding; it refuses to look be-
meath the surface of apparent facts.
And, of course, society must protect
That can be done in less brutal ways
than execution.
Whom are we puninhsing when we

weird mixture of instincts and emo
tions is before us then? What pro-
duced the criminal? His own will. his
immediate environment?
No, sir-he is the product of count
less forefathers, of thousands of vague
instincts that characterized those who
went before him. He can help this
as little as he could help that he
might be physically deformed. You
cannot change the laws of heredity.
But if he isn't responsible-who is
then? "A Reader" may ask.
My answer would be: No one. ere

fixed point for those who grope in the
darkness, They must have something
or somebody to blame. But who is
responsible for the cyclone, for the
destructive hail storm, for the wrath

as though they were frail egg shells?
Who is responsible for the catastro-
Plies in Nature? And whO-or what
is responsible for the catastrophes
in the mind of the individual? Again.

hitting new murder. There are other
and better ways, and if the present
generation will not become wise
enough to see them, perhaps our
grandchildren will The only thing
that might be cited in justification of
the murder committed by state gov
eminent is that execution acts as a
deterrent. Does it? Please look up
the murder statistics of the American
states where capital punishment is
most frequently inflicted, such as
New York and Illinois. Despite the
increasing frequency of executions,
the number of murders is constantly
increasing.
The governor of the state of New
York recently sponsored motion cal
ling for the creation of state COM
mission to be given power to sentence
the worst class of criminals. The
sentencing power is to be taken away
from the judges of the state, and to
be given this commission which will
be composed of recognized jurists,
psychologists and specialists in men
tai diseases. This is a step in the
right direction, for it takes into con-
sideration the fact that you cannot
judge crime without weighing all the
evidence of previous influences.
SOrrOwing relatives of victims of
murderers are not demanding justice.
They demand retributiOn, revenge; for
at the moment their hearts are torn
with the anguish of maddening pas
can try to put ourselves in their place,
and we will find that this reaction is
natural.
But, certainly, we should not be
governed by the passion of moment
by anger, by a desire to commit new
murder. We should, to the contrary,
look at the murderer as a person who
is so utterly diseased that he must
be kept away from all contact with
an outside world. A great many dis
eases may be cured. Perhaps this
form of mental malady can be cured,
too-when the world grows wiser.
A beginning step in the direc-
tion of such wisdom would be to ack-
knowledge the fact that a state which
murders individuals is no better than
the individual who kills.
We do not follow the laws of the
ancient Jews in other respects. Why
should we, then, stick to the Mosaic
insistence upon IAN eye for an eye,
tooth for a tooth? We-of this
so-called enlightened twentieth CEN
fury?
In conclusions: Since "a Reader, by
quoting Genesis, makes it out that
Christ defended capital punishment,
let him ponder this:
"Ye have heard that it hath been
said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth. But l say unto you, That
we resist not evil: But whatsoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to
him the other ALSO" Matt. 6, 1899 }
If "A Reader" insists on taking the
Old Testament Jewish laws literally,
I, for one, feel perfectly justified in
applying a literal Interpretation to
the Sermon on the Mount.

MORE THAN MONEY
(Bemidji SentineD

E. t. Meredith, publisher and man
aging editor of Successful Farming
in a recent issue of his magazine has
well said that it takes more than
money to advertise. 1t takes more
than merely cost to be an advertiser
Back of successful advertising there
must be integrity. Merchandise must
be what it is claimed to be. 1t must
do what it is supposed to do. The
manufacturer must have the dispo-
sitiOn to do mOre-to save his custom
ers by developing new sources of sat
isfaction.
In business developed through ad-
vertising, public goodwill is too val
liable to be jeopardized by out-of-date
policies or products. Leaders are able
to maintain their leadership only by
continuing to lead, which calls for I'M
ceasing improvement.
AS result, purchasers of advertised
goods usually receive better value
articles that are more highly per-
fected, that reflect the latest advances
of science, saving time, labor, money
or promoting comfort, pleasure and
convenience.
Advertisers, because the value OF
goodwill increases in proportion to
the scope of business, must go farther
to insure the satisfaction of the GUS
toner or final user of their products
Only few years ago, many adver,

day a guarantee of satisfaction is sc
generally assumed that it is seldom

locations every advertising Statement
has the same force as the guarantee

Governor Theodore Christianson
has come out in opposition to the
$20,000,000 road bond issue advocated
by Commissioner Chas. H. Babcock,
claiming that the tax burden is plen-
ty heavy enough now for the farmer.
He spoke a volume there and will
have much strong backing. The
Governor generally knows what he is
talking about and is firm in his stand.
The 1000 miles of trunk roads over

have the benefit of the roads whether
graveled or paved, winter or summer,
