RECORDCARNlVAL
AT FINLAYSON
Event Sponsored by FinlaysOn School
is Best i'm Its HiStOry-Large
Crowd Attends.

The most outstanding entertainment
of the season was the all school carni-
val staged at the Finlayson high
school Saturday evening. The pro-
gram was one of the best in the his
tory of the school,
Three judges~were appointed to de-
eide which were the three best num-
bers on the program. A unanimous
decision gave first place to the tum-
bling and Pyramid act by the gym
classes, second place to the Tragedy
of Miss Sofapillio by the Campfire
girls and third place to the Girls Glee
Club. At the close of the program
Miss Ethel Molloy was crowned queen
and Bill Arth king, they having re-
ceived the largest number of votes
in the popularity contest.
The crowd was the largest ever as
sembled in the building and every
thing was carried out in true carni-
val spirit with gay paper caps and
confetti in profusion. Whistles, bal
looms, sideshows for women only and
for men only provoking much mirth,
and the fortune telling booth and
chamber of horrors adding an air Of
mystery, all were there.
One room was beautifully decorated
i'm japanese style where those who
wished might play bunco or cards.
The dining room was very tastefully
arranged with beautifully shaded
lights, potted plants and comfortable
chairs where all who cared to, were
refreshed with coffee and doughnuts,
while they listened to delightful
photographic music. Not only Fin
1ayson and surrounding territory were
represented but many were there from
other towns, Pine City, Willow River,
Sandstone and Hinckley. Both pupils
and instructors deserve a great deal
OF credit for such a wonderful eve
ning's entertainment.

Macdonald Is Humanitarian
MternatiOndlist, Big Leader
Against Government by Force and Peace Demagogues More
Dangerous Than Radicals. Excellent Lecture Life of
the Prime Minister is Gven at Askov By
the Req. c. p Hojbjerg of Tyler.

The Rev. c.. P. Hojbjerg, head OF
the Danebod folk high school at Tyler
delivered series of seven lectures
and one sermon in Askov, commencing
last Thursday afternoon and ending
Sunday evening, which were well at
tended and the speaker was accorded
close attention throughout. The Rev.
Hojbjerg left early Monday morning
on his return to Tyler, somewhat tired
out after having been away on lee
ture tour of six or seven weeks, dur
ing which time he spoke at several
places in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Nebraska, and Minnesota. During
all that time he spoke twice nearly
every day.
Old Testament Brought Up.
During the afternoon lectures in
Askov which took place in the as
sembly hall on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, the Rev. Hejbjerg spoke on
prison conditions, stating that there
is much chance for improvement; he
also dwelt upon one of the prophets,
and on astronomy. At the three eve
ming lectures he dwelt upon the old
testament, stating that it must not
be taken too literally. 1t was writ
ten several thousand years ago by
ditions and relations were rough and
in the primitive state. Conditions be-
came better and better by degrees
and the old testament must be read
with that understanding. The reader
must be able to judge what is bad
and what is good-what part is the
plan of our Maker and what is not
His. The old testament contains
many legends and they must not be
taken too literally, and Christianity
must be lived, said the speaker.
Sunday forenoon the Rev. Hojbjerg
delivered the sermon at the church
and in the evening he spoke at the
same place on the life and career
of the great British statesman, Prime
Minister j. Ramsay Macdonald. Fol-
lowing his lecture that evening folks
enjoyed coffee in the basement of the
church
The British Statesman.
The Rev. Hojbjerg said that Prime
Minister Macdonald is known as the
greatest parliamentarian in the world,
who says that responsibilities are on
the shoulders of all and those who do
not contribute to the higher life of man
are indeed poor. The prime minister
does not try to get people to laugh
and dwell in foolishness, but en-
deavors to get them to think and be
serious.
When the king of England, after the
! election of 1924 sent for Macdonald
to constitute the first labor cabinet in
England, there was thrill went over
the people who had fought and la
bored for the cause of the common
folks. Six years previously MacDon-
aid was the most hated man in Eng
land, from 1914 to 1922, but he lived
it down, and he was elected to the
premiership the second time in 1928.
During the war days Macdonald, who
is a Socialist, was offered the posi-
tion as war minister, but he declined

whose work attracted national atten-
ton. Stimulated by this, the county
assigned a man teacher to keep the

Grew Tired Of 1t.
But he got tired of it after a few
days." said Bailey Nicholson, noun
taineer and former preacher, who owns
no use trying to have schoolin' up
here" Mr.. Nicholson is the most pro-
gressive of the people in this area, was
away to a religious school in his youth,
and has made earnest efforts to raise
the standard of living of his neighbors.
At the same time he gave a bit of
typical mountain psychology when asked
If there was no school within reason
able distance to which the children
might go. He replied that the nearest
was miles away and that children
could not be expected to walk miles
a day.
This surely would have caused smile
from children of sturdy pioneers In
other sections Of the country. But
these are not children OF sturdy
pioneers.
The preachers log barn was burned
down last week. The fire, which started
late at night, came near spreading tc
the schoolhouse. He is sure the fire
was set, and thinks the vandalism may
have had some connection with his
efforts to have the school kept open.
Meanwhile the teacher had gone tc
Dark Hollow, another nearby mountain
community which long has been with.
out a school. This Is near President
| Hoover's camp. When the children &c
to the new school which the President
is having built they will have beer
polished up little.

Excitement.

NEW YORK (NAN,A).-A man of

because he says that oceanic progress,
with all its security and mechanical
perfection, has made sailing too monoto-

He points to the late Bert Dunlop.

the growth of a strange organization
that he founded as evidence that the
sailor has to resort to fancy for diver

The Ancient and Honorable Order Of
Tramps was started by Mr.. Dunlop
Men on ships were initiated in the
presence of an empty tomato can, a
stick and bandana handkerchief, and
1t cost $40. They Joined regardless, and
the idea took so well that the 0rgani-

BRAND ACCEPTS
PLACE IN CABINET
Ex-Premier to Be DaIadier's
Foreign Minister, After
Record in That Office.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 28.-FTance, probably
within the next two or three days, will
have q largely Socialist government
the first in the history of the third
republic-comparable to those in power
now in Great Britain and in Germany.
Headed by Edouard Daladier, young
Radical-Socialist leader, the cabinet
which he will propose to President
Doumergue to succeed that Of Aristide
BRAND, resigned last week, probably
will have the most highly leftiSt COM
plexion France has ever known.
Actual Socialist participation in the
. new cabinet will not be authorized UNI
til tonight when the national council OF
the party of Leon Blum meets. Politl-
clans accepted as foregone conclusion
that It's members would be authorized
to collaborate with M. Daladier.
BRAND Accepts Post.
OF as great Importance as the i'm
minent advent of such SOCIALIST
government was announcement OF &C
ceptance Of the foreign affairs port
folio by M. BRAND, who has held that
post In successive cabinets OF Raymond
Poincare and in his own.
: M. Delardier's supporters expect M.
Brands inclusion in the cabinet would
, bring from SO to go votes from the
moderate groups in Parliament. These,
plus the l24 Radical votes and the lOl
Socialist votes, will give M. Daladler
a workable, If SLIM majority.
Speculation Over Cabinet.
There was much specultion today as
To the composition of the Daladier cabl-
net, It was believed he would retain
the ail-important interior portfolio in
addition to the premiership. Some ex-
.pected many bitches to develop between
the Radical-Socialists and the SOCIALISTS
in the distribution of the various posts.
There was possibility M. Daladier
would announce his cabinet late Tues
day, or early Wednesday, and would go
before the Chamber of Deputies with 1t
Thursday, In view OF his success yester-
Jav in Securing Socialist collaboration
and the inclusion of M. BRAND at least
temporary success in the Chamber was
looked for.
