IN STORE
INJURIES Z !.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 80 GIN.
s)-At least IL persons were in
jured, several seriously, when b
terrific explosion wrecked an At
lantic and Pacific Tea Co., chain
store here today. The injured
were loaded into ambulances and
rushed to nearby hospitals.
Cause of the blast was not inn
mediately determined It was be-
lieved, however, that seeping gas
from a leaking pipe had ignited.
PaSSersby near the store were
hurled to the ground when the
blast let go. Several suffered from
shock. A police detail was rushed
to the scene to preserve order.
First reports stated that in addis
ton to wrecking the chain store,
the explosion had considerably
damaged the plant of the Consoli-
dated Ice Company directly across
the street. The building housing
the chain store was practically
new.

Hoover Scorns TuttIe,
Fails in Usual Courtesy

After considerable pulling and
hauling and many grave and
weighty conferences between Ma
tional party leaders here the
prohibition attitude of both ma
tional political organizations in
the fall campaign may now be
summed up as follows:
The Democrats are going to
enthusiastically support all Demo
cratic candidates, irrespective Of
whether they are wet or dry.
The Republicans. taking their
cue somewhat from President
Hoover, are going to fervently
support all those Republicans who
are dry, and either soft-pedal
their support or remain discreetly
aloof from those candidates. that
are militantly wet.
Thus in New York, where the
Republican State organization
took the bit in it's teeth last
week and ran straight into the
repeal ranks, the gubernatorial
aspirations of Charles H. Tuttle
will have to be cared for by the
New York Republicans them
selves, with quiet sympathy, of
course, but little or no outward
support from the national or
ganization.
The same is true in New Jersey,
where Dwight w. Morrow, stand.
ing for the Senate, is for out
right repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Mr. Hoover has not even writ
ten Mr.. Tuttle the usual letter
that the White House always
sends to a retiring district tsttor-
ney, praising his service and wish
ing him well in his future under

WAYS FOR
 CUNARDER LINERS

GLASGOW, scotland, Dec. D. With the problem of insuring their tremendous hulks apparently set tied, work is to be rushed on the two transatlantic liners ordered by the Cunard line.
 Preliminary work of deepening and widening parts of the Clyde has been approved and the keel of the first of the ships has been started.
 The boats will cost approximately $22 100000 each and it was because of this that the start of the work was postponed, officials having diff ficulty in placing this huge amount of insurance against construction and marine risks.
 Settlement of the insurance, it is indicated, will be on the basis of government aid, available, however, only after all private insurance firms have taken all of the risk they care to handle. For the bal ance the government will charge a premium equal to that of the in- surance firms.
 Coming at a time of considerable slump in shipbuilding, the new boats are godsends to the Clyde and Tyne river boatyards and are expected to provide employment for 10000 men for three years.

PIONEER is LAID
TO REST TODAY
E. o. Hanson. Sandstone Sash and
Door Factory Man, Came There
IS Years Ago.

In the death of Erick o. Hanson
early Monday morning the Sandstone
community lost a good citizen and a
real pioneer of that village. Mr.. Han
son came there 3S years ago-before
the great Hinckley fire of 1894.
Mr.. Hanson was born at Sonsval,
Tuva, Sweden, and at the time of his
death had reached the age of so years,
S months and % days. He grew to
manhood in his native country and
came to America at the age of p,
direct to Sandstone where he worked
as a carpenter. Twenty-seven years
ago he was married TO Alma White at
Sandstone. The first seven years Of
their married life was spent in that
village, the next ten years at Crosby
during all of which time Mr.. Hanson
was a building contractor. For the
past ten years the family has resided
in Sandstone, Mr.. Hanson being the
owner of a sash and door factory with
lumber yard in connection, under his
own name. He was in that business
since 1920
Only one child has been born to
this union, a daughter, Miss Lillian,
who survives as does also Mrs. Han
son. The deceased leaves one sister.
Mrs. Anna Falk of Sandstone, and two
sisters in Sweden. Two brothers have
passed away as have also the parents
in Sweden.
Mr.. Hanson became ill about two
weeks before his passing to the Great
Beyond. A paralytic stroke and high
blood pressure caused him to remain
in bed the last two weeks and was the
cause of his final demise which came
quietly at 2:30 a. III. on Monday.
Mr.. Hanson came to Sandstone in
1892 and during the great Hinckley
fire in 1894 he and many other settlers
saved themselves from the ravages of
the flames by dashing water on one
another down at Kettle river.
Funeral services will be conducted
Thursday afternoon (today) from the
Congregational church at Sandstone,
the Rev. John Hughes officiating, and
burial will be made in Spring Hill
cemetery.
The sympathy of friends here and
there goes out to the family in the
loss of a good husband, father, and
brother, pioneer of Pine county who
has done his part in the up-building
of this country.

CONSERVATION
CEDITORIAL)

The Askov American in the past
has had several editorials compliment
tary to many of Americas great lead
ers, such as Robert LaFollette, Sena-
tors Shipstead, Norris. Walsh, and
Wheeler. These men have all made
concentrated efforts in the fields OF
conservation as the Shipstead-Newton-
Nolan bill, Muscle Shoals, and others.
Efforts were put forth during the
Wilson administration in behalf OF
Muscle Shoals for the purpose of max
ing nitrates. Since the war efforts
have been made at every session OF
congress under the leadership of Sen
ator Norris to put to work for the
benefit of the American people an
example of great electrical energy
project, giving municipalities and other
governmental units an opportunity tC
buy electricity at price close to cost
and redistribute same to individuals
on the same basis. A plan was to be
worked out similar to that of the
Ontario system which this newspaper
gave considerable space to last Janu-
airy at the time of the electric light
meeting at Pine City.
This plan of Senator Norris has
passed congress, but was pocket vetoed
by President Coolidge. 1t passed the
senate again at the last session by a
good margin, but was held up in the
lower house of congress.
Cost Of electricity is fast becoming
a major political issue. There is
yet much undeveloped water power
and the AskOv American feels that i,
should be conserved for the benefit
of the people of this state and nation
as is being recommended by such ma
tional leaders as the senators above
mentioned. Under this plan, electric.
ity will be so much cheaper that
practically all the farms in the coun-
try can be electrified and the homes
will be afforded more conveniences
to Tighten the burden of the house
wives and also those doing outside
work

Candid partisans or observers make
no effort TO appear secretive to the
great moving force of unrest. The

uneasy. Even the ward heller and
