the situation and are inclined to blame
the government (and, therefore, Mr..
Hoover) for not stepping into the
breach and saving them from dis

gineer and analyst, senses something
of this situation, which is not health

fallacy that the Federal Reserve

the power to avert financial upheav-

APOPLEXY KILLS
COUNTY PIONEER
Body of Henry G. HOefler is Buried
WedneSday.-Odd Fellows
Conduct Funeral.

Pine City and surrounding COM
munity were greatly surprised to learn
of the sudden death of Henry Hoefler
at his home north of town. Mr. Hoef-
Ter had apparently been in the best
of health and had been working
steadily building up his fur farm
which he began last spring. On Sat
urday he became seriously i'll and
went to the residence of Ignace Chine
lik nearby to telephone for the doc
tor. His children were called and
Mr. Hoefler was taken back to his
home where he failed to rally and
passed away Sunday morning. The
cause of his sudden death was apo
pleXy.
Henry G. HOefler was approximately
so years of age and had lived in Pine
City the greater part of his life. He
was formerly connected with the Gehl
Oil company, and following it's sale,
he entered the pool room business.
Later he purchased a tract of land
north of Pine City and began the work
of building up a fur farm in which
work he was intensely interested.
Funeral services were held at the
Gehl residence Wednesday, the Rev.
Thompson of the Presbyterian church
officiating. The l. o. o. F. conducted
the service at the grave, as Mr.. Hoef-
Ter had been member of that order
for the past six years.

By " HDaley
n ASSOCIATION sptcuu

Washington, October 30-Despite
psychological alibis, opinion in Wash
ington is to the effect that President
Hoover will not go places and talk
freely. One of two annoying instances
during his last trip to the middle west
are reported as a source of concern to
the President, who has always been
sensitive to criticism, implied or di-
rect. One caustic observer at the Cap
itol has declared that Mr.. Hoover will
probably require irOn-clad guarantees
for perfect stage setting before he ac-
cepts invitations to appear in public
away from Washington. The prevail
ing report has it that the President
was unwittingly drawn into factional
quarrel in Louisville last week. 1t is
not good politics or helpful to the
prestige of the President of the United
States to face empty seats, situation
which would have non-plused more
hardened campaigners than Mr..
Hoover. X
There is, perhaps, no other individ-
ual in the world who has gained more
renown as an economist than Herbert
Hoover. His ability in this direction
had much to do with winning the
support of American business, so es-
sential to his ultimate triumph as
Presidential candidate. He now finds
himself in the difficult role of
using his good office and his knowledge

has been missing from his home
since 4 o'clock in the afternoon

MIR. Johnson left the house with

PINE CITY YOUNG
MEN ARE ACTIVE IN
COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Pine county, this year, is getting
much publicity in sport circles
through the stellar activities of Ray
mond Hoefler on the university foot
ball team, and Harold Truesdale, on
the Hamline team.
Hoefler has taken an active part in
all the Minnesota university's games
so far this season and especially did
he play prominent part in the inter-
ference for Arsenault in his sensa-
tional S9-yard dash for a touchdown.
Being right tackle on the, greatest
football team Hamline university has
had in several years is the honor
which rests lightly on Truesdale's
shoulders. His team defeated the
Manchester squad Saturday. 1t will
be remembered that Truesdale also
won honors in weight throwing events
of the school.

FARM SCHOOL
DEAN SPEAKS
AskOv Parent-Teacher Attendance
Hears Dean w. c. COffey of Uni.
verSity Friday Night.

The AskOv Parent Teacher associa-
ton met at the school house Friday
night and transacted its routine bust
ness, after which Chairman Svend
Petersen introduced Dean W. c. Cot
fey of the Department of Agriculture
of the University of Minnesota who
gave varied talk on the child, the
parent, and agriculture.
The speaker stressed the fact that
it mattered not so much how the child
is taught if the actions of the par
ents are not in keeping with those
teachings. He said also that Parent
Teacher associations can go long
way toward making the teaching of
our children more adequate by bring
ing the teacher and parent in closer
touch and understanding with each
other.
Dean COffey also told of his varied
work and travels in his capacity at
the agricultural college and stated
that the relief for the farmer lies in
cooperative production and co-opera-
tive marketing, saying that the peo-
pie in other states were looking to-
ward Minnesota for examples of sue
cess in various cooperative lines A
farmer must needs be a good stock
man as well as to be a good tiller of
the soil, because, said Dean Coffey,
if he is good tilIer and poor stock
man then the profits of the soil will
go into poor stock through unintelli-
gent feeding and will be lost there
without the prospect of it being re-
turned in a profitable amount He
lauded cow testing associations, say
ing that they afforded the dairyman
the convenience of knowing just what
his herd is doing.
Mr.. COffey told of various cases in
various lines where research work
was going on in order to find out ways
of lettering conditions and that right
now experiments were being con-
Quoted to turn every part of the dali
ry production into something useful
and instead of great amount of milk
going to waste as is now the case it
will be utilized in some form or
other.
The meeting was terminated with a
song by the audience and lunch.

ASKOV PASTOR
GOES TO EAST
Perth Amboy, N. j., is the
New Field for Dyreborg
Family.
In Askov Three Years; Rev.
A. E. Frost Coming
About Dec. l.

There is a touch of sadness in re-
porting the departure from the COM
munity of a family that has meant
much to the welfare of the community
spiritually, intellectually, and neigh
borly. Such is the case in stating
that the Rev. and Mrs. o. H. Dyre-
borg and little son, Preben, who have
had their labors in the Askov COM
munity little over three years, are
now on their way to their new home
at Perth Amboy, N. j. But there is
always a silver lining in the clouds.
The thing to do is not to dwell upon
the sadness but to recall the happy
memories and to appreciate the time
that they were with us, the good work
they did here, the uplift to the COM
munity and be happy in the thought
that another community is now to
welcome them and receive the benefits
of having them in their midst.
The Rev. Dyreborg preached a very
wholesome farewell sermon Sunday
morning at the Danish Lutheran
church before congregation that
filled the spacious building, and which
touched the hearts of his hearers. A
class of five young people were con-
firmed at this service and a large
group of people partook of communion
During the singing of the last hymn,
Saying Farewell" the congregation
arose in his honor.
Appreciation Expressed.
A farewell party was arranged for
the Dyreborg family in the basement
of the church Sunday evening which
was attended by folks from all over
the community. The place had been
neatly decorated by the committee
in charge, and A. Gravesen, a member
of the committee, bid all welcome and
especially so the honored guests. Mr.
Gravesen said that in the everyday
grind of life we sometimes do not APP
preciate one another as much as we
should, or at any rate we do not eX-
press it in words or show it, before
we are to part, adding that the same
may be said of man and wife. How
ever, he said, the pastor and his fam
lily may rest assured that their labors
here have been appreciated.
Good Leadership Important.
The Rev. Frede Stottrup said that
the three years residence of the Dyre-
bOrgS in the Askov community has
been like a summer day here. He
dwelt upon a painting by an artist
on how the parish life might be wide
awake, alert. and eager to help one
another, or the opposite-sleepy, SLOW
en- and weak. Admitting that it is of
utmost Importance that all parish
toner's take an active part in the work
of the parish and that it is the work
of the many that counts, yet he said
it is important also that lie minister
and leader be good man. And in this
connection he said the Rev. Dyreborg
has been a good leader, adding that
Mrs. Dyreborg is an ideal minister's
wife. The Rev. Stottrup who has been
an invalid in an arm chair for sew
eral years, very weak physically, spoke
in a clear voice throughout that could
be heard distinctly by the 200 to 300
people that were gathered, but when
he ended his talk and thanked the
Rev. Dyreborg for what he had been
to the sick peple of the community,
he became very emotional and almost

given by men and women of good
will, who, I know, are not unmind-
full of the responsibilities of citi-
zenship, than that they should, by
their example, assist in stamping
out crime and outlaWry by refusing
participation in ard condemning all
transactions with illegal liquor.
Our whole system of self-govern-
ment will crumble either if officials
elect what laws they will enforce
or citizens elect what laws they will
support.
The worst evil of disregard for
some laws is that it destroys respect
for all law.
For our citizens to patronize the
violation of a particular law on the
ground that they are opposed to it
is destructive on the very basis of
all that protection of life, of homes
and property which they rightly
claim under other laws.
If citizens. do not like a law, their
duty as honest men and women is
to discourage its violation; their
right is openly to work for its repeal
To those of criminal mind there
can be no appeal but vigorous en-
forcement of the law. Fortunately,
they are but a small percentage of
our people. Their activities must
be stopped.

International Court

The recent treaty for the re-
nunciation of war as an instrument
of national policy sets an advanced
standard in our conception of the
relations of nations.
It's acceptance should pave the
way to greater limitation of arma-
ment, the offer of which we sincere
ly extend to the world.
But it's full realization also implies
a greater and greater perfection in
the instrumentalities for pacific set"
Element of controversies between
nations.
In the creation and use of the IN
strumentalities We should support
every method of Cancellation,
arbitration and judicial settlement.
American statesmen were among
the first to propose and they have
constantly urged upon the world,
the establishment of a tribunal Tor
the settlement of controversies Of
justiciable character.
The permanent court of interna-
tional justice in its major purpose
is thus peculiarly identified with
American ideals and with American
craftsmanship. No more potent in
strumentality for this purpose has
ever been conceived and no other
is practicable of establishment.
The reservations placed upon our
adherence should not be misinter-
preted. The United States seeks by
these reservations no special prlYl-
lege or advantage, but only to
clarity our relation to advisory
opinions and other matters which
are subsidiary to the major purpose
of the court.
The way should, and believe
will, be found by which we may take
our proper place in a movement so
fundamental to the progress OF
peace.
Our people have determined that
we should make no political engage
ments such as membership In the
League of Nations, which may COM
nit us in advance as nation to
become involved in the settlements
of controversies between ouher
countries. They adhere to the be-
lief that the, independence of Amer
lea from such obligations increases
its ability and availability for serv-
ice in all fields of human progress

Prohibition

OF the undoubted abuses which
have grown up under the eighteenth
amendment, part are due to the
causes I have just mentioned; but
part are due to the failure of some
states to accept their share of re-
sponsibility for concurrent enforce
nlent and to the failure of many
state and local officials to ACCEPT
the obligation under their oath OF
office zealously to enforce, the laws.
With the failures from these
many causes have come TO DAN
gerous expansion in the criminal
elements who have found enlarged
opportunities in dealing in illegal
liquor.
But. a large responsibility rests
directly upon our citizens. There
would be little traffic IN illegal liq-
uor if only criminals patronized IT..
We must awake to the fact that
this patronage from large numbers
of law-abiding citizens is supplying
sSa rewards and stimulating crime.
{ have been selected by you to
execute and enforce the laws OF the
country. / propose to do so to the
extent of my own abilities.
But the measure of success that
the government shall attain will
depend upon the moral support
which you. as citizens. extend.
The duty of citizens to support
the laws of the land is co-equal with
the duty of their government, to en-
force the laws which exist.
No greater national service can be
