OUR HOMES

Ones first Introduction to home
comes at the front or entrance feature.
What kind of a welcome awaits you
at the front door? First impressions
are lasting ones, they say. Do those,
who arrive at your front door receive
a favorable impression?
The outdoor area or room adjacent
to the house entrance, usually called
the front yard, plays a most important
part in this welcome. Its size, shape
and furnishings should bespeak char
acter of simple, though dignified
nature. On small property, at least
an obvious balance of all parts and
materials will aid in giving that feel
ing of fitness of belonging there, so
lacking in many of our yards.
In order to secure that feeling of
breath and repoSe so essential to a

STATE ROAD PATROL OR STATE
CONSTABULARY BILL
Another Measure to Increase Tax
Expenditures and Build Up
Police Powers.

Editor Askov American:
This bill, in one form or another.
has periodically come up for the past
several years-during the administra-
tions of Burnquist, Preus, and the
present governor. To date, it has
been unsuccessful; the wiser heads
in the legislature have been very care
full about giving this extra police
power to any one man or small po-
litical group. There is the dangerous
possibility of building up, la Mus
sOlini, an autocratic type of govern
ment with headquarters in the state
capitol.
A possible group of seventy-five
COssacks, their chief car, riding up
and down the state, and all at the ex-
pense of the public! According to the
1926 bill, the commissioner was to
get $4,000 per year. 1t will take but
few years before this organization
of possible Cossacks will cost the
people a million or more dollars.
BEST governed people are those

POOR SPORTSMANSHIP

The front page feature of the Pine
County Courier last week was an ig-
nominious objection to the outcome
of the recent MISREPRESENTATION de-
bate held in Hinckley. To bring a
point to issue only breeds contempt
and is better ignored. However, after
reading the Sandstone Broadcaster' s
ten points in craftsmanship; the first
of which reads, Thou shall be a good
loser" that is, do not go around max
ing up some alibi because you lost.
Take it like man and admit you
are beat" and then reading the
Curriers' dissertation on the outcome
we feel that there must be some dis
crepancy in the spirit of Sandstone.
Hinckley lost two basketball games
to Sandstone last year. a debate last
year and two basketball games this
stone to accuse us of being un-
sportsmanlike or poor losers, nor do
we broadcast the spirit of sportsman
ship in victory and forget it in de-
feat. Just so long as adults live
and act poor sports, so the youth
of the country will follow.
This opinion is written in defense
of the Hinckley high school debaters
who gave their all" only to have
some supposedly mature mind cast
disgrace and dishonor upon them.

the people The decision of the voters
on this question is not tinal-it will
still be up to the commissioners to de-
eide what course to take. Those
referendum votes that are not final in
their decision or authorized by law
simply trial vOtes-usually cause
canfusion and miX-up and sometimes
do more harm than good. Folks will
still remember the referendum vote
or trial vote-taken over the county
a few years ago on the County Agent
and County Nurse proposition. Both
propositions were turned down by the
voters and consequently If the COM
wishes of the people as expressed
there, those propositions should be
turned down by them at least for some
years. Many voters are not familiar
with the financial circumstances OF
the county and it is therefore difficult
for them to decide as to whether or
not it is good to vote road opening at
this time The commissioners are
elected by the people to represent Us
as leaders. They know the conditions
of the county and they are in po-
sition to make the final decision,
which they will. If the proposition
the trial vote-should be turned down
by a majority of the voters the COM
missioners would be duty bound to not
open the roads in the winter time
at least for some years-or until the
people voted differently. If the voters
approve the proposition with ma
jority vote the county board should
then go ahead with the opening of the
roads even though it might be hard
pressed for money. OF course it could
still be delayed a few years but that
would not be satisfactory to the voters
as they would be under the impress
sion that they had voted in the af-
firmative on a measure and were now
entitled to it.
But now that the commissioners
have asked for county vote on the
proposition to get the sentiment of
the people and to be backed up in
their decision, it is we'll to make the
best of it. If you want the state-aid
roads opened the year around, vote
yes, and the American advises this
vote To turn the proposition down
would put snow blowing into the flu
ture at least some years. If turned
down the commissioners could hardly
go ahead and keep the roads open.
They would be morally obligated to
keep hands off at least for some time
or until another referendum vote
changed it.
Many counties in the state are now
keeping the main roads open through
out the year and we believe Pine cOun-
ty should do likewise. If the snow
is plowed off in the winter time they
also get into good shape much quicker
in the spring With trains taken off due
to less passenger traffic on account of
the automobile it becomes more neces-
sary to have roads open the year
around Folks all over the county
want to keep in touch with the out
side world and when they are sick
they want to be able to get a Doctor
A vote in favor of keeping the roads
open next Tuesday, it appears to us,
will be the best course to pursue.

The American
Is Still
$3.50 Per Year
in Minnesota
apd Eirct apI Second Zopoc
and First and Second Zones

Effective March 1, 1929, the
AskOv American is $500 per
year to subscribers living out
side of Minnesota and the first
and second zones-a greater dis
lance than $50 miles from the
office of publication.
The price .remains the same
-S1.50 per year-to those living
in the state of Minnesota and
the first and second zones.
To advertisers-local especial
ly-the circulation that they
are mostly interested in is the
one we have in Pine county
and therefore our stress is
largely laid on building up the
circulation within the county.
The postage on papers sent to
Iowa, Nebraska, and mOreso,
California and other distant
states is also more and hence
the raise to $500 per year on
those subscriptions.
Many rural weekly newspapers
are charging $500 per year for
their paper locally. We still
maintain the low price of $3.50
and you can help us materially
in keeping it there by RENTING
promptly so that we do not have
to spend too much money send
ing out statements. Opposite
your name and address on the
American each week you can
see to what date you are paid
up. 1t is in itself a subscrip-
ton statement every week.
Take look at it right now and
see if you are in good standing.
Yours for a constantly better
newSpaper-one that covers the
county-and one that keeps you
abreast of the times.

" OWLING fans are anXiously
awaiting the results of the sec
N ond block of the Howard Camp
~ bell sweepstakes, to be rolled at
King Pin No. /, where the
major event was inaugurated two years
ago. at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night.
Results of the second block will furnish
some idea as to which of the star pm
men are likely to figure in the final
battle tor the big cash prizes on the
Coliseum drives the following Satur-
day night.
MANY are picking Bradley Mandley to
COD his first sweepstakes championship
The Stanford Paper Co. star, who took
the lead last week at Convention Hall
with a 635 total. has never figured In
the sweepstakes award, although gen.
orally rated the most consistent bowler
in the city. This is his second quest
for the Campbell cash.
Results of tomorrow nights bowling
will determine largely whether Mandley
is to reach his goal. II he can retain
his lead at the close of the second
block there are many who will be will
ing to concede him first honors. His
followers are depending upon him to
finish strong at the Coliseum. where
he has recorded many of his highest
sets.
Santini Surprises.
Tony Santini, who stepped into the
runner-ap berth with 624 count last
week, has the dopesters guessing. The
majority are inclined to believe he was
shooting far over his head at Con-
vention Hall, but there are others. In
Guiding Lonnie Krauss, the Coliseum
boss. who are confident that Tony Will
be in the battle at the finish. His
showing tomorrow night will be watched
with more than passing interest.
Glen Weidman, Hap Burtner and
Make Rosenberg, the only others to
pass the 600 mark last week, are rated
as Mandley's leading rivals. Glen, it
will be remembered, took second money
two years ago and looked like dam
gsrous contender last year. BURNER
regained much of his lost prestige last
week and is apparently staging come
back :.
Rosenberg is the man Mandley will
have to beat" is the assertion heard in
many quarters Make collected GOT
pins last week and might well be rated
a leading contender. His work was con-
sistent throughout the first five games,
his high count being 131 and his low
est Ill Make is having a banner
season and Is likely to keep pace with
the leaders tomorrow night.
Majority Still in Race.
More than a score of the 90 entered
in the rich stakes are still considered In
the race. ANY one of these may re-
cord sensational set at King Pin No.
to assume a place among the leaders
Glenn WolStenholme, who finished
first in 1927; Howard Campbell, who
was seconded last year, and Henry Hiser,
who was third last year, are still in
the race. This trio and Weidman are
the only entrants who have shared in
sweepstakes prize money. Red Megaw.
who was unable to compete this year, is
the only bowler to ever collect a por-
ton of the money each year. He fin
ished third in 1927 and first last year.

I use square stance, with both feet
on line, take slow back swing and
hit from the inside out. In a short ar
ticle like this it isn't possible to 60 into
the technical phases of a shot. There
are many technical phases. but the best
advice that can be given any new golfer
Is to keep the head down, the eyes on
the ball and try to hit it.
Powerful hitting isn't just a matter
OF style. To some 1t may seem that
Cyril Tolley overswings and Abe Mitch
ell doesn't follow through and Mai.
Hezlet pokes at the ball. That they are
all good long hitters shows timing Is
much more important than style.
Every shot in golf is contingent on
proper timing. 1t doesn't matter whether
one is awkward or graceful if that habit
is acquired. And one of the most i'm
portant factors in timing is the slow
back swing.

Plenty of Action Expected in
10-Round Clash of Light

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 1s.--Leo Lomski
Of Aberdeen, WASH, will be a 7-to-5
favorite over James J. Braddock of Jer-
sey City when they enter the ring for
their 10-round battle in Madison Square
Garden tonight.
But that should not worry Braddock
particularly. He was on the short end of
the betting when he battled Tuffy Grit
f1fths at the Garden some time ago. but
knocked out the highly-touted Sioux
City Interchangeable In two rounds.
Lomski, however, is one of the great
est of the present crop Of light heavy-
weights. A crowding, smashing, tear
Ing type of fighter, he has held his
own with the best of the 175-pounders.
He had the title within his grasp in
the Garden last year when he spilled
Tommy Loughran, ruler of the division,
onto the canvas. He could not keep
the title holder down, however, and
Tommy danced and jabbed his way to
the decision.
Braddock got little notice from the
experts until he broke Pete Latzo's Jaw
with a right-hand punch. He followed
this victory up with the sensational
knockout of Griff1ths. That earned him
the bout with Lomski. Some Of Leos
opponents would say that Braddock is
not getting much of break" in
tackling rival as rugged and ex-
perienced as Lomski.
