Spain seeking a new LONE in a new
world; by Spanish soldiers in ar
NOR, doublet and trunk hose; by
gay gallants gorgeous with silks
and ruffling 1t with sword and dag
ger; by grim guards with halbert
and arquebus; by gentle ladies with
mansilla and fan; by sweet-faced
nuns In their robes: by red In
uians intent on slaughter: by priests
and friars in black, white. brown or
gray robes. shod or unshod. beard
ed or shaver. and by restless adven-
turers In search OF precious met
ais. For centuries the mines Of
fCerralvo furnished heavy revenues
TO the Spanish crown and to the
roncessionaries Of he mnies. Even
vet there is a considerable yield
of silver, lead and zinc.
From the protecting walls Of the
little city went out those brave
bands OF pioneers who founded Nu-
leyo Laredo. Zapata, Ciudad Mier,
Camargo. Reynosa, Matamoros and
Monterrey itself. There they or
Ranized their slender resources and
went to do battle with the wilder
mess, with drouth. disease and saw
age tribes. To their brave efforts
the Valley owes much.
Beautiful Trees
Generous springs gush from the
Foothills at the south Of the town
and pass first through a magnifl-
cent park carpeted with thick turf
and shaded by a grove of age-old
SabinoS or expresses. Several OF
these trees are Is feet or more in
diameter at six feet above the
ground. In the clear water under
the trees the boys Of the town find
their "Old swimmin' hole" The
shade of those giant trees is most
grateful and the breezes coming
down from the not distant Carral-
.vo mountains temper the heat still
more.
The little lEatercourse runs down
through the town, often hidden by
massive brick arches laid by ma
sons of long ago, and passes be-
tween the Palacio Municipal and
the Parish Church. Cerravlo is one
of the very few towns in Mexico
where the church Is not on the main
plaza. I he legendary reason IS
that the first settlers were not ac-
companied by a military guard and
we're attacked by Indians who
killed and wounded all but a few Of
the party. These survivors made
their stand at the place where the
church now Is and because Of the
water supply the church which was
also q fort in those days. was built
there.
This beautiful old church is kept
In such excellent repair that its

been built almost entirely from

or whether it is just news propaganda
is not know by us but there is one
thing certain if it is a known fact
that CapOne is a beer baron, a
gunman, gang leader. or whatnot, then
it is time that specific charges should
be placed against him so that his act
tivities will not further make light of
the law. If he is not guilty of the
charges then it is time to quit rer-
scouting or at least forget about him
for the time being.
1t is hard to believe that in cOun-
try with such a high plane of in
telligence that such conditions exist.
1t certainly is not uplifting to in
sinuate that our laws are so Lax that
they will shelter such activities.
There is something wrong somewhere
if law violations go UNPUBLISHED to the
extent that the violatOr's business can
be so brought out in the open as to
seep into the public print.

MORE MEMBERS ADDED

Eighteen more boys were admitted
to the troop of Boy Scouts at Pine
City Wednesday evening of last week.
the investiture service being held at
the armory The Pine City troop is
growing under the leadership of D. w.
Thompson. scOutmaster, and besides
the scouts, now numbering over forty.
there are about thirty cubs under the
direction of Dr. James Slaven.
At the investiture ceremony for the
tenderfOOt scouts, talks were made by
P. l.. Hamlin, and M. B. Hurley on the
merits of the scout movement. Scout
master Thompson administered the
scout oath following which George
Wiseman who is now acting as assist
ant scoutmaster, pinned the scout
badge on each scout lined up for the
occasion.
The Pine City scouts meet each
week in the armory on Wednesday
evening and are making good progress
in the work. Tests in signaling were
given last week and several of the
scouts showed much ability in sending
and receiving messages by use of the
semaphOre.

THE COUNTY AID ROADS

As announced in last weeks Amer
lean and as will be noted in official
minutes of the county commissioners
meeting i'm this issue. the county now
has available Sal, 040 TO be spent on
county aid roads, the new plan of
roads provided by the last session Of
the state legislature. In August it is
100000 or more. This money comes
from the gasoline tax, one-third of the
tax, or 1c per gallon going to the
county aid roads and two-thirds of
the tax, or &c, going to the state
trunk roads, also known as the Bah
cock roads. Each township selects a
part of their roads to be made county
aid roads with the approval of the
county commissioners. At their seS-
sion last week the board decided that
the amount to be paid by the town.
ships for building the road be 20%
of the total cost instead of 300 as
was decided last fall. After the road
is built the township has no further
expense as it is then taken over by
the county and the maintenance ex-
pense comes out of the gasoline tax.
The county aid roads are to be we'll
made and it is understood that they
are to be graveled as soon as cOnstruc-
ted Every township i'm the county
has the opportunity to get in on a
share of the county aid roads.

HOW CAN THE HOUSEWIFE HELP
THE BUTTER SITUATION?

This is a question that no doubt
has confronted most of us during the
last few months There is one GER
tain place where we perhaps could
help it great deal,-by making our
own cookies exclusively.
We can bake our cookies with but
ter as cheaply as We can buy them.
OF course we have to give our work,
but we do not buy butter when we
buy cookies.
Then there is the advertising. We
notice that the Royal Baking Powder
Co. in it's recipe booklet invariably
calls for shortening" Why not but
ter?
The Iglehart Brothers in their ad-
'vertising booklet. Cake Secrets" say
Fine Cakes cannot be made from
second rate Materials" At the same
time they are using the term but
ter" or "other shortening" Probably
the baking powder and cake flour
companies would be willing to use the
term butter" just as well il it was
requested of them. Especially be-
cause, l think. the greatest amount
of baking is done by people living in
the rural districts.
Let us then remember that eggless
milkless, BUTTERFLIES cakes do not spell
economy to the dairy farmer.

A GREAT JUDGE

Oliver Wendell Holmes. associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, and one of the men in this body
who always has placed human rights
above property rights, was honored
on his seth birthday with scores OF
congratulatory kilograms and letters.
He is lauded as one of the most cul-
tured. patriotic. and greatest Amer
leans of this day and generatiOn-the
grand old man of the judiciary.
A veteran of the Civil war. several
times wounded. son of a great father
and Harvard graduate, man whose
environment and associations have
been chiefly of the cultured and we'll
educated class of America, yet his
sentiments and his decisions on the
Supreme court have been for the in
terests of the masses of American
people. His work containing his dis
senting opinions are enjoying a re-
markable sale. In his opinions one
feels the fighting mans contempt for
those who are afraid to take chances,
and want to mark the cards in the
game Of life. Holmes is afraid OF
nothing. either for himself or for his
country: and that is the chief reason
why for 20 years on the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts and 81 years
on the Supreme Court of the United
States. he has been an outstanding
liberal. His mind has bathed in the
fountain of perpetual youth.
President Theodore Roosevelt per-
formed great service to the Amer
lean people when. in 1902, he appoint
ed to the Supreme bench Justice
Holmes who represents what is best
today in American life-a great just
liberal. and fearless judge.

SENATOR GOFF TALKS

An interesting sidelight to the
workings in the United States Sen
ate is the incident of Arthur L. Fan-
bel, SECRETARY of the American Tar
iff League IAN organization which
has never had the reputation of
protecting the interests of the
average MANI, former lobby
associate of Senator Grundy, using
Grundys office room No. 1893 great
deal and admitting before Senate
committee that he had furnished
much of the data embodied in the
speech of Senator Golf of West Vir-
GINA, attacking the Progressive
Democratic insurgent coalition. He
also testified that he had prepared,
and the American Tariff League had
mimeographed and distributed an
elaborate press release containing a
summary of Goffs speech and num-
erOus Auxiliary references to Senator
Goff's manner of delivery. The re-
leased speech in mimeographed copies
was prepared several days before same
was delivered, and praised Mr.. Goff fer
evidence of careful and exhaustive
preparation. Mr.. Faubel also testi-
fed that there was previously some
discussion as to whether this speech
was to be delivered by Senator Grun-
dy or Senator Golf, but it was finally
decided that Mr.. Golf was to deliver
same.
This socalled Golf speech. or the
main parts of it, was recently pub
lished in the Minneapolis Journal
and in some of the ''me-too" press
over the state that takes delight in
shaping the Northwest Senators who
are doing their level best to turn out
some kind of tariff bill that will be
an improvement over the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber law and in part, at least, be a
fulfillment of the promises in the cam
paign of 1928. The Pine County Courier
that copied the Senator Golf speech
Brother Colby in commenting On the
attack on progressive senators stated
that Senator Golf had hit the nail on
the head. We are of the opinion that
from the viewpoint of the Eastern in
dustrialists this is true. but by nc
stretch of our Imagination can we see
that the attack on men who are fight.
ing the battle for the dairy farmer
wheat farmer, in fact for agriculture
is justified We cannot fathom the
viewpoint of Brother Colby endorsing
stand or position framed up anG

ton, menace to Pine county. Mime.

fact a menace to America.

Mr.. Paulsen has always been a hard

cleared quite portion of it. This
was at the age of 20. Since then he
has disposed of the land and has been
retired and living in AskOv village.
The residence which he built here
ten years ago was rather too large
for him and of late years it has been
rented out to the Justesen family.

ASKOV LOSES AGAIN
TO BRUNO QUINTET

The Askov Independent basketball
team went to Bruno last Thursday
night to return the game played on
the formers floor the week before
and lost by score of II to 8.
Askov was in the lead at the end
of the first half, 6 to 4, but was out
scored during the third and last quar-
tiers respectively to 1, and to l.
The game was fast from start to
finish and afforded the large crowd
that lined the school gymnasium some
very exciting moments.
The contest started out with Askov
having the edge in the passing art.
although the smallness of the floor
caused players to be in such close
proximity of each other that bas-
kets were almost out of the question.
Both Askov and Bruno used two teams
and it was at the time of the first
substitution for Askov that victory
began to fade from its grasp.
The game was refereed by v. L.
King of Willow River whose efficiency
and impartiality in calling the close
plays was very much appreciated by
the players and fans alike. This was
the last game of the season between
the two teams.

IN A CASE OF CASEIN

The tariff on casein, by-product OF
the dairy industry is very minor
affair compared to the tariff on but
took leading part in the discussion
of this tariff proposal said in part:
Il am willing to legislate upon this
matter upon sound grounds and take
the consequences The dairy interests
are willing to legislate upon sound
grounds and take the consequences.
But we are not going to increase the
receipts of the farmers by imposing a
high tariff tax. which after all, is. a
mere fiction. We are going to protect
the dairy interests by fixing the tariff
rates on dairy products upon the
sound basis of the difference between
the cost of production here and
abroad.
Il regard this problem from this
standpoint: That casein should bear a
tariff rate that will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production
at home and the cost abroad. and
perchance that may affect another in
dustry slightly. But we should not
change our policy. III we are going
to legislate to save one industry from
another industry upon mere arbitrary
grounds and arbitrary basis, of course
then we will have n situation that car
not be justified by single senator
The basis upon which | have calcu-
lated the rate l suggest is a sound
basis: it is a scientific basis: it con-
forms to the facts at home and
abroad; i'm my opinion, it will pro
tect the dairy interests OF this coun-
try; it will not permit OF shift oil
production in Argentina to any appre-
ciable degree: and it will not destroy
a market we now have for casein.

duction Of powdered milk made out oi
