Lugano, Switzerland, Dec. 10.
-(AP)-The council Of the League

hold their conferences in connection

council is meeting at Lugano instead
Of Geneva, on the suggestion Of DR.,
Gustav Stresemann, German foreign
minister, because Of his health and
the great value he attaches to meet

Statesmen attending the council
meetings acknowledge that they
were disturbed and anxious over the
European political situation. They
hoped, however, that their anxiety
would be lessened by the conferences
between DR.. Stresemann, Aristide

Sir Austen Chamberlain, British
foreign secretary.
DR.. Stresemann has publicly ex.
pressed his pessimism over the re-

allied powers due to hesitancy in re-
moving troops from German soil.
Since his arrival here, he has talked
with NJ. BRAND, and later the French

YOUNG TEACHER
Is FOUND DEAD
IN AUTOMOBILE
Michigan Woman Had Been
Attacked, Clothing Torp;
Boy Confesses

Sheridan, Mich, Dec. 10.-(R-
Jimmy Deakin, Is, son Of the janitor
Of the school in which Miss Flossie
Carter taught here, confessed today,
state police announced, that he at
tackled and killed Miss Carter, whose
body was found yesterday in her
car on an abandoned road near here.
She was beaten to death.
! She had been criminally attacked.
There ware marks on her. throat and
face, and her clothing had been torn
nearly . away. The 27-year-old
teachers head had been crushed, ap.
parently with an axe.
Beside the body, which was found
by Ray Collier, 14-year-old hiker,
there was q note. It read: II did
this myself. Please don't blame any
one else-Miss Carter"
The handwriting resembled that Of
Miss Carter but friends declared it
W0O HOL uCAOs xUS uOVS WAS WIlCteu
on an envelope addressed by her.
State police and sheriff's officers
were convinced the note was a crude
attempt by the slayer to forestall m
investigation.
Lee Bracy, q 19-year-old Olivet
college student, had an engagement
to meet Miss Carter Friday night
the night she was last seen alive.
Bracy, who was taken into custody
last night, was unable to aid officers
in their investigation, satisfying
them that he was at the college at
the hour Miss Carter left Sheridan
to drive to her home. four miles
away.
Bracy said that when he finally
reached Sheridan Tuesday night
Miss Carter had been gone two
hours. Bracy was being held, how
ever, for questioning at the inquest
today. Young Collier was also to
be questioned again concerning his
discovery of the woman's body.

of the liner Celtic were now on their
way to Cobb in tenders. Members
OF the crew remained aboard the
liner In order that IN effort to re-

White Star liner Celtic stove = hole
directly under her engine room when
she ran on the rocks off Roches
Point near the harbor entrance 1t
$40 o'clock this morning. The mis-
hap was due to the pilot being un-
able to 60 aboard owing to gale.
Three tugs were removing some
500 passengers from the liner. The
Celtic, which left New York Dec. !
and stopped at Boston the next day,
was entering the harbor to disem-
bark about so passengers when the
mishap occurred.
Tide Was High
The tide was high when the liner
hit the rocks almost right under the
lighthouse at Roches Point. The YES
sci remained upright and steady
with the weather good.
Although the ship appeared to be
in no immediate danger, arrange
ments were made at once to dis
embark all the passengers and ship
them on other boats to Liverpool,
where the liner was due late today.
Tenders were sent from Queens
town to take off the passengers.
There was no fog at the time Of
the mishap. The Celtic was within
short distance Of where ships usu-
ally cast anchor to meet tenders
which come from Queenstown to land
mail and passengers.
It was estimated that the liner
would be on the rocks in about Is
feet Of water at low tide. The Dutch
tugs Gelizee and Moryedock en-
deavered to tow the liner off hut
indications were that she was fast
aground.
Bad Weather Hazard
Michael Johnston, lighthouse
keeper at Roches Point, said it was
his personal opinion that If the
weather became bad, the Celtic was
certain to be q total wreck. S.
"Only the fact that the Celtic was
going dead slow averted . terrible
disaster" Johnson said. "How she
got On the rocks is mystery"
He said there was Z bad storm
last night but the weather was mod.
Grating.
II am afraid the vessel is badly
damaged" he continued. "Unless she
CO be lightened enormously, It will
be impossible to get her Off"

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. TO-
Lieutenant Carl Ben Eielson, arctic
flyer, and now in the antarctic re-
gions with Captain Wilkins, is re-
membered at the University Of North
Dakota, where he received his de-
gree, as . good student, q debater,
an orator, and . good mixer"
Coming to the university in 1914
from Hatton, N. D., his home. he
completed his freshman and sopho-
more work before enlisting in the
United States army. He failed to
return directly to the North Dakota
school after the war, but spent sew
eral months at the University Of
Wisconsin.
He enrolled once more at North
Dakota, in February, 1921, and in
the following spring he received a
Bachelor of Arts degree.
His scholarship is attested to by
affiliation with two honorary fra
ternities, Phi Delta Phi, legal group;
and Delta Sigma Rho, forensic or
ganization. His social fraternity
was Alpha Tau Omega.
Athletics claimed = considerable
share of his attention, and that he
had more than passing ability is at
tested when it il recalled he played
forward on the campus basketball
team which was title holder in 1915
and 1916.
As q member Of the university de-
bate squad for two seasons and as
. figure in campus oratorical work,
Eielson gained considerable recogni-
ton from fellow students.
He was successful in journalistic
ventures, - he WAS chosen editor
Of the Dacotah, yearbook published
annually at the school.
Because he failed to return to the
school the fall Of 1917 he was de-
rrived Of the opportunity, to actually
edit the book.
Aviation which now has made him
famous was an avocation Of Eielson's
while he attended the university
after his return to school in 1921.
He brought with him an aeroplane,
and using q cow-pasture near his
fraternity for . landing field, made
many flights.
The tale is recalled now that un-
appreciative cattle ut one time raised
havoc with his machine when they
mistook canvas on the body for some
new type of foliage. The machine
was badly damaged.
University Of North Dakota
authorities, proud Of their native
son, are beginning to claim =. dis
tinction for Eielson which few people
generally credit him with possess
ing. That is, that the Lieutenant
was the first student in the history
Of the school to fly an aeroplane and
to possess one of his own.
Consequently, those interested in
aeronautics contend that Eielson in
the time to come, will be pointed out
q . pioneer among aviators IN
American universities.

A Modern Will.

The following is an excerpt from
the will of a Wall Street man which
has recently been probated in New
York State:
To my son, leave the pleasure of
earning a living. For thirty-five
years he has thought that the pleas
ure was all mine. He was mistaken.
To my daughter. 1 leave 100000.
She will need it. The only good piece
of business her husband ever did was
to marry her.
To my valet, 1 leave the clothes
that he has been stealing from me
regularly for the last ten years. Also
my fur coat that he wore last winter
when l was in Palm Beach.
To my chauffeur, 1 leave my cars.
He almost ruined them and l want
him to have the satisfaction of fin
ishing the job.
To my partner, 1 leave the sug-
gestiOn that he take some other clever
man in with him at once if he expects
to do any business.

LEGION POSTS ACTIVE

In numerous instances have Legion
posts throughout the county. state
and nation been active in various
phases of activities since their organi-
zation during recent years and it is
a noticeable fact that in most cases
they are helping along a cause which
is sure to do somebody or some or
ganization good. Various walks of life
and various classes of accomplish
ments have come under the scope of
American Legion posts all over the
country. They are quick to offer
to champion a good
cause. The buddies of the Legion
learned their lesson in the trenches
and came home with the avowed de-
termination of passing it on to their
associates. Although there may be
some discrepancies, nevertheless, the
Legion as a body, is meant for good.

THE STORY OF AMERICAN
PROGRESS
Industrial NeWS)

Guiding the way towards closer
ties and more intimate nationwide
inter-relations, American business,
with increasing effectiveness of eff
fort, is doing much to cement govern
mental, social and economic America
says George T. Wight, Manager of the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents.
Growth from disjointed group of
rival colonies, encountered with indi-
vidual problems and diverse interests,
to a unified nation with common pur-
poses and problems is the brief story
of American progress. State boun-
daries have yearly become more and
more OF fiction. National ideas have
emerged to overshadow local prejudi-
ces and narrow ambitions. The part
played by business in general in
achieving these results stimulates a
reassuring picture of present and fu-
ture national unity.
Units of industry and business
once confined to small local areas,
are now national in scope. Interests
WnICH iOl llclly SeSlHGu Ill COuIllCt
now cooperate in joint endeavors for
the common good. Rail and water
transportation, the automobile, the
telephone, the telegraph. the news
paper, and now the radio and the
airplane, have each contributed large
ly to the linking up of the most re-
mote frontiers of the land with all
other sections of the country. When
the most isolated citizens can in
stantly hear the words of their pres
ident and anticipate the day when his
image likewise will be visible, their
interest in national problems is more
vital and responsive than when they
only heard news of distant events long
after they had happened.
THUS our continent is fast becom-
ing one great neighborhood, promptly
in touch with the doings of all it's
members and better qualified for a
sympathetic understanding of the
country's needs.

ORGANIZED THINKING

One of the chief troubles with the
modern trend is that so few persons
do their own thinking. A great deal
is heard these days about organizing
public opinion. The organization of
public opinion is one of the chief rea-
sons for so many persons thinking
alike. What this country needs is
not more organized opinion, for that
is really not opinion at all, but more
unorganized opinion and more indie
pendent thinking.
The trouble with opinion in Amer
lea is that it is not Independent
enough. The average man looks to
his crowd for his views instead of
doing a little cogitating on his own
hook, and the result is that public
opinion goes in waves, swinging from
one extreme to another.
The American people will not be so
susceptible to the organizers of pub
lie opinion, to spellbinders and others,
when they have learned to trust them
selves more in private and public
matters. There seems to be some
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-11-08

when one is hunting larger game with
high powered rifles. Since in a
large number of places where there
are settlers, the timber is small and
large clearings are evident, the bull
let is sure to travel many times as
far as it would under conditions
where there is a heavier and larger
growth of timber. There have been
incidents reported to this office where
the settler or some of his family or
some of his stock, have narrowly es-
capped the hunters bullet and it seems,
just because the one firing the shot
did not take precautions before firing
same. Always remember, especially
in this locality that there are farms,
people and livestock but a short dis
lance from where the hunt is taking
place and it is best for the hunter to
be safe than sorry.
Then too there are numerous farm
ers who resent hunting on their
premises and have signs posted at
intervals. The hunter should always
be on the lookout for such signs as
they are placed there for a purpose
and the square shooting sportsman
surely will not venture onto a place
where he knows he is not wanted.
Be sure to look for the signs and if
one is seen. just pass it up and go
where there are none.

what of a trend in the direction of
independent. individual. thinking on
the part of many citizens, and the
more widespread it becomes, the bet
ter.
A really alert public opinion, sane
broad, individual thinking, would be
much more difficult to organize in
the fashion that has been prevalent
There is something disquieting to
thinker about being herded into some
thing where his thinking is done for
him. He wants to be left COMPARE
lively free to weigh the facts and the
evidence as they accumulate from
day to day, and to revise his course
of action in the light of facts, as
seems best to him.
We need better machinery in Amer
lea for the exercise of an morgan

alone will prevent this country from
flying from one extreme to another,
and will result in a truly represent

PORTABLE MAIL BOX
RECOMMENDED

Among the necessary preparations
for winter the State Highway depart
ment calls attention to the need of
placing mail boxes so they will not
be destroyed by snow plows. Unless
the mail boxes can be put back so
far that they will not be hit by the
plows, it is recommended that port
able supports be used.
Swinging arms fastened to posts
set far back have proven successful.
Others fasten their mail boxes to a
movable tripod or "horse."
1t is impossible for the snow pillow
operators to avoid hitting mail boxes
fastened to posts close to the road
In heavy storms it is usually impos-
sible to see them, and even when
they are visible, it is difficult to avoid
hitting them with the big plows.
The suggestion for portable mail
boxes is worth bearing in mind on
county roads where snow plows are
in use, as well as along the trunk
highways.
