ISOLATION with people of the working
class are finding conditions vastly i'm
proved since prohibition, especially In
the cities.
1t used to be common thing for re-
ports to reach this salvage corps of
babies killed through the Unconscious
actions of drunken parents, but not
one such report has reached them this
year. Every phase of Salvation Army
activities unite in extolling the pro-
hibitiOn law as beneficent in its re-
suits beyond all measure. Applica-
lions for relief in the slum districts
of the cities are reduced fifty per cent.
In one of the large cities of the
East, the Salvation Army have re-
Gently completed splendid settle
ment house that contains gymna-
SUM, a swimming pool, a library and
model apartment where little girls
are taught housekeeping. There
was neither time nor money for such
concerns when a flood of alcohol was
destroying more homes every year
than were swept away in recent
months by the Mississippi river going
out of it's banks.
Now and then an enemy of prohibi-
ton will make flowery explanation
of how easily drinking could be con-
trolled if drinks could be bought
openly in all stores like any other
item, as if there ever was anything
untried as regards the sale of intoxi-
cants in saloon days. How quickly
we forget! Evangeline Booth remind
us in her article how this sort of a
thing worked~out in a certain part of
large Eastern CITY, Nearly all the
grocers in that region maintained
drinking rooms in the rear of their
store. Women who came there to
buy food bought a few drinks also and
often forgot that they had left child
rem at home who needed the food
which was the initial object of their
errand.
One of the means the Salvation
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-02-23

Army has for measuring the amount
of poverty attributed in the old days
to drunkenness and the amount which
may be so attributed now is examin-
ing the records of their Investigators
who make up the lists of Christmas
baskets Before prohibition the cause
of poverty in three out of four fam
lilies was drunkenness of one or both
parents. A recent count showed only
one out of ten. What have you and
I done to make this improvement
possible? Have we boosted prohibit
ton or have we snickered ignorantly
while these champions in welfare
work continue to bear the cross to
ultimate success and glory.
The most inspiring thing uncovered
by reports and questionaires in this
work of the Salvation Army is the
unmistakable fact that younger men
seeking food and shelter in their
homes for men in need, are cases
rarely complicated by addiction to-
drink The drunkards are old men
whose craving is, short of a great
spiritual change, incurable. Of course
there is still a great deal of misery
caused by alcohol but the volume of
it is amazingly, gloriously lessened.
No one will deny that of all organ
izations, the Salvation Army comes
most directly in contact with all kinds
of people in our country and because
of this fact they are able to speak
from actual experience and personal
observation about the truthful benefits
of prohibition. In the face of these
facts how can we but sing the praises
of the wonderful law the American
people have made that has so evident
ly created better conditions for all our
people. Give prohibition a chance,
talk for it, work for it and be proud
of the fact that you are one of the
great rank and file of men and women
who are helping to make sober
world Think of it, a sober world!

ASKOV

Mr.. and Mrs. Manford Nelson Wis
tied over Sunday at the home of the
latter's parents in Hinckley.
Miss E. Eleanor Melin of the local
school faculty, visited at her home in
Minneapolis over the week end.
Miss Josephine Sorensen who has
been working in Minneapolis a few
weeks, returned to her home here last
week.
]. r. Petersen went to Minneapolis
yesterday to attend two day conven-
tion of the hardware dealers asso-
citation.
Many friends and neighbors gathered
at the ]. P. Madsen home Tuesday
evening for a social visit, it being
Mr.. Madsen's birthday.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Petersen were in
Minneapolis from Thursday till Sun
day attending the Minnesota Editorial
Association annual convention.
Owing to the poor train accOmmO-
dations and impossible roads very
few Askovites were able to take in
the Winter Frolic at Duluth during
the past week.
Returning home from Minneapolis
last Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Mil
Ter were accompanied by the latter's
mother, Mrs. J. P. Birkholm, who is
remaining here for a visit.
Quite a number of autoists have
been obliged to leave their cars at
Mrs. A. Jensen's place lately on ac-
count of the impossible roads; and
Ted" says he could easily sell few
good used automobiles and still have
plenty in the yard.
The Misses Bodil Fenger, Corrah
Iversen, Margaret Mittelstadt, and
Clara A. Strom and Paul N. Frokjer
drove to Duluth Saturday to spend two
days attending the Winter Frolic. Re-
turning home Sunday evening, they
like others, were obliged to leave the
car at Mrs. A. Jensen's place two
miles out and resort to foot power
ance of the trip.
The working force at the American
has been considerably increased late
ly on account of much outside work
coming in. Besides the regular force
of seven the following are also en-
ployed: Lucille and Engelke Greger-
sen, Loretta Sanity, Margaret and Two
Nedegaard, Margaret Schroeder, Mrs.
Oline SOrensen, Edith Gravesen and
Bodil Fenger; and Raymond Jensen
and Hans Nielsen are on the night
force.
The Misses Edith Peterson, Cecilia
Rorvig, and Celia Johnson of the To-
cal school faculty, spent the week
end at Duluth attending the Winter
Frolic. Returning home on the fast
train Sunday evening via Sandstone,
they were taken to Askov in autOmo-
bile, or rather partly in automobile,
as the drifting snow forced them to
abandon the car at Mrs. A. Jensen
place and they footed in the rest of
the way along the track, so they had
a double dose of winter frolic.

BEST TO ORDER GARDEN
FLOWER SEEDS EARLY

Order garden flower seeds early is
the advice of Louis Sando, University
of Minnesota florist, but do not write
for catalogs for the fun of it because
catalogs cost someone real money.
Make up your mind which firm OF
firms do the best for their customers,
then write for their catalogs," he
says. DO it now and let your selec-
lions be based on your experience in
previous seasons. Every year it is
we'll for one to experiment with few
new kinds. Make up your mind to
keep more complete notes on your
summer Towering plants. If this is
done, and done we'll, the notes may
clear up some of the caues of failure
with certain plants. The amateur
will save his money and may also
save the sediments reputation in ad-
ditiOn.
When the seeds arrive keep them
cool and do not sow too early unless
you have the conveniences to take
care of the seedlings until planting
out time. Everybody should have
flowers in the home during the win
ter. Fresh flowers are best, but if
you cannot afford to buy very many
you can at least include some ever
hastings in your order for seeds.
Don't forget the various varieties of
annual statice and the accroclinium,
both white and pink. These varieties
are so far ahead of the old fashioned
straw flower that there is no COM
parison."
