Designer Of U. S. Capitol
Urged in Hall of Fame

ashington.-Charles Bulfinch, "the
first American architect" and design
er of the United States Capitol, has
been nominated to the Hall of Fame
by the board of directors of the Amer
lean Institute of Architects. Sum-
maries of the achievements of the
carly American designer have been
sent to each elector of the Hall of
Fame by the board.
Few architects Of today can boast
of list of such notable buildings as
those designed by Bulfnch," says the
board in it's plea. 1t was stated that
Bulfnchs record as a statesman dur.
ing the formative period. of Boston
should be sufficient to elect the ar
chitect to the Hall of Fame as
statesman, If not as an architect.
Bulfnch was born in Bowdoin
square, Boston, August 8, 1853. He
died April Is, 1874.
A graduate of Harvard, Bulfinch be-
came interested in designing work
while attending to improvements on
his fathers and friends houses. La
ter he was able to make an extensive
tour Of Europe, studying the types of
architecture used in the old cities.
While serving as a selectman in
Boston, Bulfinch inaugurated street
lighting, the system of coeducation,
establishment Of a board of health,
and financial committee that brought
about order and system in the method
of collecting taxes.
In 1917, after completing his second
term on the board of selectmen, Bull
finch was appointed architect of the
United States Capitol in Washington.
Among the many buildings de-
signed by the architect are the Con-
necticut state house in Hartford in
1892, the first theater in Boston, five
institutional buildings, ten churches
three hospitals, seven schools and
seven commercial and bank buildings.

HUGE MAP READY
IN FIFTY YEARS
Offers Relief Outline Of u. S.
and Canada.

Wellesley, Mass.-The largest map
in the world, which will measure 63
feet from east to west and 40 feet
from north to south, is being con-
structed here.
Conceived by Roger W. Babson.
noted statistician, the work, relief
outline of the United States and Can.
ada, was begun about five years ago.
1t is estimated that so more years
will be required for it's completion,
and approximately 100000 will be
expended on the project.
The map will be ten times larger
than that of the Pan-American union
which the government possesses. The
latter is flat, whereas that being
pieced together here will be Of spher-
zeal form in exact ratio to the earth's
curve.
The horizontal scale will be one
inch for four miles. The vertical scale
will be one foot for four miles, insur-
ing that attitudes and depressions de-
picted will stand out prominently.
A gallery Is feet high will encircle
the map. Viewed from this, any Sec
ton reproduced on the work will ap-
pear just about as it would if actually
seen from an airplane at height of
IL miles.
Not only will the topography of the
United States and Canada be initiated
with precision, but by elaborate color
schemes, even landscape effects will
be simulated as far as possible.
s Every river, mountain, railroad line,
city, and smaller community of the
two countries will be traceable from
the gallery.
The painted desert Of Arizona, the
everglades of Florida, CALIFORNIA; or
ange groves, the pasture lands north
of the Rio Grande, and the ice-bound
regions Of northern Canada will be
delineated.
The entire work will conform to
data being furnished by the United
States Typographical survey.

4 MAN OF THE PEOPLE

In his address at Pine City Satur-
day evening the Hon. Frank t. Star
key of ST. Paul, gave a wonderful, in
teresting and instructive analysis of
the forces that are working in the
Minnesota legislature against the
best interests of the people. He eX-
planned how the special interests are
catering to the members of the legis-
lature through their lobbyists with
flattery, banquets, entertainment. po-
litical support. and it is not TO be
wondered that they fare so well.
Mr.. Starkey is IA young man of only
IS. and the 3Sth Legislative district
in St. Paul, which he represents in
the legislature, can well feel proud
of its representative. He is consist
emily and conscientiOusly battling for
the rights of the common people. He
is brilliant. forceful, and able, and if
he maintains his health we predict
that the people of the state of Min
nesota will hear much more from MN
i'm the future What a contrast be-
tween a man like Mr.. Starkey who
can come before the people and calm
" discuss the issues of the day, give
his own vote on the various measures.
and then the other type OF Legislators
who depend on putting it over on the
people with buster and bluff, who
cover up their vote as much as pos
sible and leave the people in the
dark, thinking that they will not know
any better-a slap on their intel
ligence.
Mr.. Starkey is the type OF man
that wears well. The more one reads
of his record and sees and hears the
man, the better one will like him.
The other type of legislator. the kind
that sells his public trust for a mess
of pottage, ought to be so utterly
ashamed of himself that he would
crawl into hole and pull the hole
In after him.

lens PAULSEN'S BIRTHDAY

Under the above caption the Min
neapolis Tribune of Saturday morning
carried an editorial on one of Askov's
pioneer citizens. 1t will interest the
many friends of the old gentleman
to read this editorial: Here 1t is:
"Jens Paulsen had his S0th birth
day the other day. Friends. neigh
bors and relatives at his home town
of Askov, Pine county, gave him a
birthday party. There were a lot
of them and, of course, pleasant
time was had by all. The Askov
American printed his picture. 1t re-
vealed kindly appearing old man.
evidently posing rather stiffly. His
life story accompanied the picture.
1t was most interesting. 1t revealed
a man who did things.
''He was born in Denmark. At IS
he was a lumberjack. AT q he
married and became a farmer. An
average story from that time until
he was 81. Then he came to Pine
county at the time of life when most
men seek respite from activity. He
didn't He set to work clearing a
woods farm. He cleared up 80 acres
of cut over land. stumps, stones. He
made farm of it. All the while he
was happy. He did not leave it I'M
til he was 20. Then he moved over
into Wisconsin and developed another
farm. All the while he was not
aware of the fact he was setting a
most inspiring example to other men.
But everybody was proud of him.
His success was worth a lot to every
interest i'm his community. He moved
back to Askov and built a home.
Time narrowed his cherished family
circle The old home, he had built
with his own hands was too big. He
rented it and built another at the
rear of the lot. All the time he was
happy. His cup of happiness was
filed to the brim when the neigh
bors gave him a party on his S0th
birthday. Simple story isn't it
But a big story too, this story of a
man who cleared two woods farms
after he was 81. Only those who
know the natural obstacles he en-
countered know how much work that
involved. The joy of achieving was
his. Work brought him happiness.

heed to work than diet. He has nc

UPS AND DOWNS AT WASHINGTON

There are rumblings in Washing
ton, considerable suspicion and dis
trust, and rumors are very prevalent.
The tariff bill passed by the Senate
and under the strategy of the former
arch lobbyist, now Senator Grundy,
is not proving to become the agricul-
tural relief bill that was promised
by the administration.
1t has been disclosed that Claudius
II. Huston. chairman Of the National
Republican party. Just previous to his
election to this most important trust,
had participated i'm a lobby that
aimed to grab Muscle Shoals for the
American Cyanamid Co. and the
Union Carbide Co. He collected and
distributed money that he seems to
have no recollection of. We predict
his resignation or dismissal.
Much antagonism has been aroused
by Secretary of Labor Davis announc-
ing himself as candidate for the Of
fee of United States Senator from
Pennsylvania against Senator Grundy
Davis will have the support of Ware
who was a former candidate while
Grundy is allied with the Mellon in
terests. This will be another battle
royal and will be watched with in
terest. Davis puts human rights
above property rights, while Grundy
reverses the program.

PRODUCERS MUST ADVERTISE
BUTTER

The present crisis in the dairy in
dustry seems to be over. at least for
the time being and it appears
that we are going to have much better
prices the coming summer than we
had during the past winter. There
should be a lesson i'm this past stu
alton for everyone connected with or
interested in the dairy industry, but
how many of us have learned it? The
lesson is to not expand beyond the de-
velOped market and for the dairy farm
er not to expect some other industry
to advertise his products for him.
A certain amount of expansion will
continue and the records show a large
increase in the number of heifers on
the farms of the country and in order
to hold dairying upon a profitable
basis it will be absolutely necessary
for the producers of dairy products
through their organizations to tell the
public about the value of butter. milk
and cream to tie up the demand and
consumption with this increase and
it can easily be done The American
consumption of butter is onl Y IL
pounds per capita annually and lead
ing doctors the country over rec
ommend the daily use of at least 2
ounces of butter per person per day
which amounts to around As pounds
per person per year.
The day is past when we can work
our heads off producing and think that
the public will use up our product,
The individual has just so much mo-
ney to spend and il some other line OF
industry gets it first your product will
go begging for market One has but
to look through any of the magazines
and see the wonderful pictures and
advertisements that other lines are
using to put their articles across. Why
half Of the young people of today are
growing up believing that to be q
good singer one must smoke certain
brand of cigarettes. A certain man,
ufacturer Of pancake flour is showing
a wonderful picture Of a plate Of
wheatcakes with a piece of melting
butter on them. and I believe doing
more to advertise butter than We are
ourselves.
Substitute manufactures are making
house to house canyaSses showing tbs
housewife how to use their products
and making 1t easy for the merchants
to sell their products and we sit back
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-03-27

and expect the merchant to spend his
money and time pushing our product.
We have a necessary product, rec
commended by almost every reputable
doctor and nutritiOnal authority in the
world and we would be doing mankind
real blessing to acquaint him with
the recognized value and health pro-
noting properties of dairy products
as well as putting our industry upon
a profitable basis; the only way that
this can be done, however, is to ad-
vertise. advertise, advertise. We have
to keep our product before the public
all the time and make them conscious
of the value of our product to them.
But we can't do this for nothing.
Every local creamery should spend at
least 1-10th of a cent per dollar of
sales in the home community to ad-
vertise butter for we find that even In
the rural communities very few
people-not even the producers OF but
terfat-realize that for its contents
butter is the best and cheapest food
on the market. Then at least two
tenths of a cent per pound of butter
made should be, spent by the market
ing associations to sell butter to the
city trade. Does it seem much? Look
through your papers and magazines.
As consumers you are paying the
other fellows advertising bills on his
products. Why not advertise your own
product?
