Part ayt11ent Pups Bring
Doggy Days to broadway
EVERY chlorine CAN BUY APET-AND DOES

New York, April 2l.-(NEA)-N
Broadway always has been strong for
putting on the dog. but never 80
much 50 IS now, since pups are In the
$l0-down-and- the -rest-on- class,
along with fur coats. diamonds, auto
mobiles and other necessities Of life
along the Main Stem.
Some chorus girls take several
months to pay for their dogs-but
they always pay" said Charles g.
King, whose pet shop and beauty
the theatrical section. 1--WE never
lost q nickel trusting q chorus girl
to pay for her pet on the installment
plan-though I've been gypped often
enough by men.
Pets Are Well Groomed
mot only do the girls pay prompt
ly, but they buy well and unextrava-
gantly. They rarely pay more than
$50 for dog-unless, OF course, 1t Is
being bought for them Is Z gift by
some man, when their tastes become
more expensive. Usually they select
Boston Bull or q Wire-Haired. dur
able breeds that prevail on Broadway.
Over on Park Avenue, where the So
ciety girls parade, the schnauzer Is
the smart dog-but he begins around
$50.
Chorus girls are the best dressed
women in the world, and their dogs
are the best groomed. They bring
them In regularly to have them
clipped, have their nails trimmed and
their teeth cleaned"
Besides selling and beautifying
pups, King maintains = boarding
house for pets. Consequently. when
the girls who have bought dogs from
him 60 on the road for q while, they
bring In their pets to board while
they are out Of town.
Dogs Don't Have 70 Diet
And their dogs are used to good
grub" King said. For many q Choir
Inc will send over to the delicatessen
for sliced chicken or turkey for her
dog-and buy = liverwurst sandwich
for herself.
Usually, she's too good to her pet.
Often she feeds 1t candy which Is an
acquired taste, and 1t often comes
back to me for little plain living"
Whereas the chorus girl Is thrifty,
the Broadway star usually is extrav-
agant, and goes the limit for an ex-
elusive and expensive pup.
THE griffon. which Is q small
dog weighing from pound and
half to two and half, is about the
most expensive dog on the market"
he said. Five thousand dollars may
be needed to transfer the deed on
such an animal-and griffons aren't
bought on time. They're q cash and
carry proposition. However, I've sold
! q number Of such dogs. and have had
them In here to groom. Peggy Joyce
had two handsome griffons. So did
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw."
Cats never have been sought after
by chorus girls-except in the fancier
versions.
''You can't carry a cat around with
you" he pointed out. THE chorus
girl wants her pet with her. Before
and after matinees and after the eve
ming performances, all the pups are
on parade. Lots Of times the girls
make more fuss over their dogs than
they do over the fellow who Is going
to buy them q feed-and the pup goes
along and gets q good meal too"

NEW EDITOR FOR TYLER

Howard Frederiksen who has been
employed as printer on the Forest
Lake Times the past year or more.
came up to Askov Saturday to join
Mrs. Frederiksen in visit with
friends here over Sunday. Mrs. Fred
eriksen who was formerly Miss Dagny
Ostergaard and principal of the Askov
high school last year, had visited
friends here for several days.
Mr.. and Mrs Frederiksen are NOV
ing this week to Tyler, where they are
to take over the management of the
Journal and Mr.. Frederiksen is to be
the editor. They take possession Sep
TENDER 10th. Mr.. Frederiksen has
had several years experience at the
printers trade and has also managed
and edited papers for short intervals.
He was raised in Stevens county and
few weeks ago was married to Miss
Ostergaard who will be good help
mate to him in the publishing bust
ness. Both young folks with good
training, aggressive and alert and a
munity, Tyler will most likely soon
have a paper of which it can be proud
and one that will be an asset to the
community. The American cOngratu-
lates Tyler on its new acquisition and
bespeaks mutual benefit to the pub
fishers and the community. Success
to the old Journal!

DRAGGING ON TIME

Occasionally folks come to the
newspaper office and complain about
roads, expecting the editor to Lace
it, to the maintenance man or the
highway engineer. There is probably
no road in the county so good or
maintained so we'll but that it could
be better, but unless there is some
specific complaint to be made. as in
the case of the sand hill over at Rut-
ledge which we mentioned last week,
and that we know about definitely
ourselves, we do not care to complain
But our columns are open to the pub
lie, the Opinions of Others" for crit
icism when it is well founded and the
article is signed. The roads have not
been so good this summer and motor
lists have not been satisfied, but we
must also remember that it has been
next to impossible to keep up a good
road where it was not graveled and
where the traffic was extensive and
often heavy, with so little rain as
we have had this summer But again
the maintenance men must make the
best of their opportunities and be sure
to get out and drag soon after the
rain After the road has had an Op
portunity to dry for two or three days
it is not nearly so easy to level.

ANOTHER THAT SHOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN

During the past week one accident
has happened that We know about and
we don't know how many more, when
the driver in a car thought he was in
a hurry and tried to pass the car
ahead of him when another was COM
ing. "Bingo," there wasn't time and
some of his passengers are in the hos
pital as the result.
1t certainly does seem that this sort
of accident just has to keep on hap
pening regardless of the uselessness
of it all The drivers causing this
type of accidents either cannot judge
the distance and the speed of the
approaching car or they are too care
less to notice their slim chance OF
making the passing in time.
A good plan to follow is to play
safe. And if one plays safe then he
will not endeavor to pass while an
other car is coming within apparent
striking distance. If this plan is fol-
lowed, then there will be no more ac-
cidents A wreck will delay you nc
matter how big a hurry you are in
Better be little more cautious!

SMELLING AND SENTIMENT
minneapolis Tribune)

If Fort Smelling is a white elephant
on the hands of the government, we
do not suppose that sentiment has any
valid right to protest against its pro-
posed abandonment
1t is infinitely more important tC
have an army organized along the
lines of economy and efficiency than
it is to have an army maintained to
please Old Timer and the state histor-
ical societies.
Because an army post has been in
existence for century is no good
reason for granting it another hun
dred-year lease on life if it has out
lived its usefulness.
The Twin Cities, then will do well to
base their plea for the retention OF
Fort Smelling on practical and utili-
tartan grounds. The hard-headed army
officers who will decide the fate of
the various posts are not apt to be
swayed by the suggestion that Fort
Smelling is an historically interesting
spot, and that the Twin Cities are
deeply attached to it for that reason
They will be but vaguely interested
in Indian wars, and the village of ST.
Anthony, and the ghosts of the past
which stalk about the round tower
Instead they will be asking: Is the
post strategically located? Do high
ways and railroads make it a good

BE CAREFUL OF FIRE

Last week we received letter from
Forest Ranger P. w. Swedberg of
Moose Lake, regarding the danger OF
starting fires and stating that no per-
mits were being issued for such pur-
pose and that it was criminal neg
ligence to start a fire in the open any,
where. This week again we have re-
ceived a letter from the State Depart
ment of Conservation and Commits
sioner of Game and Fish warning OF
the same danger. In the former case
the letter was withheld from publica-
ton because of the fact that rain
had just fallen before press time
thereby lessening the danger of fire
spreading, but this does not mean that
fire will not burn for a considerable
length of time after rain. Many
sections are dry enough to feed a dis
astrous fire and it is hoped that the
hunters will be cautious enough not to
allow their camp fires to go unwatch-
ed. Approximately fifty thousand
acres have been burned over during
the recent dry spell and some of the
fires are not yet under control.
The fire fighting department of the
state has organized every force at
their command to control the situa-
ton, but unless wholesale co-opera-
ton by sportsmen and the citizens

A LEADER PASSES

Associated Press dispatches yester-
day carried the message that Con-
gresham O. j. kvale>of the Seventh
Minnesota district was burned to
death Tuesday night in his sleep when
fire destroyed his summer cottage
near Ottertail lake, north of Battle
Lake village. He was alone in the
cottage at the time and was last seen
at 1890 p m. the evening before.
Mr.. Kvale was 60 years old and was
the man who defeated Congressman
Volstead. He was fearless fighter
and member of the Farmer-Labor
party. His passing marks great
loss to the progressive movement. just
at time when fearless men are need

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S PROM
ISES TO AGRICULTURE

EXTRACTS from the Republican plat
form, adopted at Kansas City, June
12-15. 1929
A protective tariff is as vital to
American agriculture as it is to Amer
lean manufacturing. The Republican
party believes that the home market,
built up under the protective policy,
belongs to the American farmer, and
it pledges its support of Legislation
which will give this market to him to
the full extent of his ability to supply
it.
We favor adequate tariff protection
to such of our agricultural products
as are affected by foreign competition.
The Republican party pledges itself
to the development and enactment of
measures which will place the agri-
cultural interests of America on a
basis of economic equality with other
industries to insure its prosperity and
success.

concentration point? Is it well adapt
ed to the training and drilling of sold
iers? Will the retention of Fort
Smelling serve the best interests of an
efficiently maintained and economical
ly organized army?
The Twin Cities believe that all
these questions can be answered in
the affirmative. They are intensely
interested in seeing this venerable
post retained by the government, and
they will be apt to insist that all
other things being equal, the post
with 40 years of tradition clustering
about it should be saved But when
the post survey is on, they must be
ready to talk shop and not redskins
The army, after all, never yet won
a war with sentiment.

HIS SINCERITY AND WELFARE
OF OTHERS

In conversation one time with our
congressman. Godfrey G. Goodwin,
about men and affairs in congress, Mr..
Goodwin said amongst other things
that the late Victor L. Berger, Social
list member from Milwaukee, was al
ways given a good hearing when he
appeared on the floor to speak, though
he did not have as good a command of
the language as many other members
of the house. Mr.. Goodwin said that
members who did not believe in his
theory of government nevertheless re-
spected him and loved the man for his
sincerity AS has been reported in
the press he died following a street
car accident in Milwaukee some weeks
ago.
Arthur Brisbane. the well known
editorial writer, gave out this on Mr..
Berger:
The death of Victor l.. Berger, late
editor of the Milwaukee Leader, is a
loss to his city. his state and to con-
gress, which heard unpleasant truths
from him and listened because it re-
spected his sincerity
Victor Berger was able honest, a
good American. His fellow citizens
of Milwaukee, the ablest, including
those that disagreed with his political
theories, will indorse that statement.
"A man of great ability, he could
easily have accumulated wealth. He
preferred to devote his life to the
welfare of other men,

Conform With the Opinions
of the ASkOv American.)
THE INDUSTRIAL AGE Is STILL IN
IT'S INFANCY

llS INF Anvil
Minneapolis Tribune, Labor Day
Issue)
The perennial question as to wheth-
er the constantly increasing tendency
to substitute machines for men makes
the problem of unemployment more
acute was recently put to Henry Ford.
The Detroit manufacturer replied as
follows:
I'VE can go only by our experience.
We find that improvement of prOduc-
ton methods means more jobs, not
fewer. That has held true for the past
20 years.
The use of machinery is increas-
ing and men are being released from
work that can just as well be per-
formed by machines. But don't forget
that it requires men to make the ma
chimes. If machines are doing more
and more of mans work, it means
that more and more men are employ
ed making machines.
'Of course, if you figure that we
now have all the industries we shall
ever have, then the possibility of un-
employment may become serious. But
not only will present industries be-
come bigger; industries unknown now
will rise in power and there will be
plenty of employment. | am sure OF
that The one thing that will make
it sure is more leaders. Most of our
major industries were unheard of 80
years ago. You don't suppose that
men have ceased to create. do your"
Mr.. Fords answer is cast in rather
general terms, yet one is glad to learn
how he views the maehine-unemploy-
ment relationship. Mr. Ford has
proved again and again that he has a
remarkable grasp of the tendencies
and trends of the modern industrial
age Whether he arrives at his con-
illusions by reasoning or by intuition
is not a matter of any special import
ance. The man is in tune with the
mechanical age. Twenty years ago
he visualized the mechanical civiliZa-
tiOn of today more clearly than any
DOuy else. IL 10 llOl
therefore, that his picture of the me-
chanical world twenty years from now
will be sustained by the facts. He
says that the range of possible inven-
tions and discoveries not yet touched
is limitless He insists that it is a
mistake to regard our present indus
trial era as the end or climax of a
development. He feels that, industri-
ally speaking. we are still in the dark
ages, and very crude indeed.
Mr.. Ford, of course, is not infallible.
No man is. But he has habit of be-
ing right about mechanical matters,
and an extraordinary trick of anti
cipating the mechanical world of to-
morrow. His confident belief that
machines will go on creating more
jobs rather than fewer should carry
weight in every circle. 1t is pleas
ure to record his views on a Labor
day.

a recommendation for the establish
ment of state organ. The confer
ence urged the state committee of the
association ito take steps to provide
statewide party organ either by. the
establishment of a new newspaper or
by arrangement with one already
established to fulfill that function"
The conference stressed the i'm
portance of placing capable organic
ers in the field who will bring to-
gether the supporters of the Farmer
Labor movement into local units of
the Farmer-LabOr association and who
will serve to extend the circulation
of Farmer-LabOr newspapers and
Farmer-Labor literature.
Floyd Olson to Run.
During the course of the afternoon
session Floyd B. Olson, county attor-
ney of Hennepin county, made brief
address. The vigorous prosecutor
from Minneapolis, made it plain that
he is in the movement to serve it in
whatever manner may be desired
The economic situation existing in
Minnesota and the United States to-
day, makes for Farmer-Labor victory
next year." he said. But our sue
cess is dependent upon the size and
virility of the organization that we
succeed in building up. That is the
all important thing for us to consider
right now. l am willing to give what
ever assistance l can to add men,
bers to the Farmer-LabOr association
and to build up the movement general
ly.
Mr.. Olson expressed regret that he
found it impossible to make the race
for governor last year, but the con-
dition of his mothers health prevent
ed him from accepting the mandate of
the party convention. He did, how
ever, state that if similarly drafted
for office in 1880, he would be pleased
to serve.
All members of the conference
pledged support of the organization
in his own locality and promised to
assist organizers of the state office
who might ask help in the work. At
the close of the session a resolution
was adopted asking the state commit
tee of the Farmer-Labor association
to call the state convention as early
as possible next spring.
