WELCOME CORRESPONDENCE

Elsewhere in this issue will be
noted a letter from J. H. Holland
secretary-treasurer of the Pine County
Farm Bureau, in which he calls at
tention to the fact that the appro-
priations being light from the coun-
ty commissioners were not for the
Farm Bureau organization, but for
county agricultural extension work.
We are always glad to have any of
our readers call attention to anything
that may not be stated correctly in
the American, or that may miSinter-
pref. We have rather thought that
the Farm Bureau and extension work
were one and the same but Analysing
it more closely one will note, of
it is only natural that the Farm Blu
reau wants it understood that apprO-
priatiOns or funds from the county
were not being sought for that Organi-
cation, but were to be used through
it for county agricultural extension
work.
We are glad to have this matter
Strengthened out and shall be pleased
TO hear from Mr.. Holland or anyone
else for that matter at any time that
anything appears in the American
which does not convey the correct
meaning
The Farm Bureau has many mem
berS out over the county and many
enthusiastic boosters and for that rea-
son it is only natural that the Amer
lean would like to have articles per-
tanning to its work more often in its
columns. We realize that the aggres-
sive agent, w. F. Hammargren. spends
much of his time at field work and
when he is in the office there are
many callers that he has to converse
with, and he has many meetings to
attend, but at any time that he or
other officers or active members of
the Farm Bureau have anything for
publication in the American we will
be glad to give it space. Such arti-
cles will be read by the hundreds,
yes even by the thousands immedi-
ately whereas if person has to call
on all of those folks individually il
will require much time.

STOCkWELL ANSWERS BRANDES
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
l seem to be getting some good ad-
vertising in Pine county. for which
] am thankful. | am sorry that the
advertising is not in Hennepin county.
May | impose upon your kindness TO
make one further reply to Mr..
Brandes.
Mr.. Brandes refers to me as the
Minneapolis Socialist of fifty million
dollar bond issue fame This class
ification is manifestly for the pur-
pose of Misrepresentation But con-
sidering the fact that Mr.. Brandes is
being coached by his father-in-law
Joseph Therrien, it is naturally to be
expected.
l am not a Socialist and never have
been. Not that | consider it discred-
liable to be a Socialist. but the fact
is that | have never been convinced
OF the sOundneSs of their program
| have read scores of Socialist books
and pamphlets, heard many of the
English and American opponents OF
Socialism, including that marvellous
man, Eugene Victor Debs, but am
not persuaded that they present the
best remedy for our social and econ
omic ills.
| shall have no serious quarrel with
Mr.. Brandes, SO long as he does not
refer to me as a Republican. The
principles of common honesty taught
me at my mothers knee more than
seventy years ago. still persist and |
emphatically resent being classified
with the Daugherties. Falls, Sinclairs
Illusions and Hays, the Ohio gang. who
are so much lower down in the scale
| of depravity than oil station bandits
and porch climbers that | feel that
! | would be justified in bringing an
action for Islander against Mr. Bran
des, if ne were to call me a Republi-
can.
AS to the fifty million dollar bond
issue. This bill was introduced by
me first, in 1923 and is simply a pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution
which of course must be referred to
the people for adoption In order
that those who are interested may
know the provisions of the bill, let
me state that it is an amendment to
Section 5. Article of the Consti-
tuition and is as follows:
Provided however. that for the
purpose of developing the waterpower
resources and improving the economf,
conditions of the people of the state
of Minnesota, the state of Minnesota
shall have full power to acquire and
develop any and all water powers in
this state or on the boundaries there
Of: and to that end, establish and OBJ
crate steam or other plants as may
be needed for the most efficient utili-
cation thereof and to produce and dis
tribute electricity for any and all OF
its uses, and to utilize the same in
any and all state institutions or to
sell it to municipalities or to private
consumers on such terms and con-
ditions as the legislature may by law
direct. and the legislature may pro-
vide for the issuance and negotiation

sengers in his control. He can kill
them or save them. He is the judge
and the jury. He should operate his
car under the theory that the other
fellow is going to do the wrong thing,
instead of speeding head on into the
face of uncertainty heedlessly.
Many methods have also .been Of
fered by people to make drivers more
careful Many of these have helped
but education is slowly progressing
in this direction, more stringent laws
are being passed, and more must be
passed governing motoring, and it will
all go toward lessening this menace
The safest method is to drive your
own car like you would have the other
fellow drive his.

on three hits and a fielder'S choice.
Brook Park did not threaten seriously
until the fifth when they ran i'm three
scores on a batted ball outside OF

decision by the umpire. With the
score tied at four all in the NINTH
successive singles by Kelch, R. Rash
and Dunn and another by Quinn put
Markville in the lead to 4. Brook
Park came back in their half of the
ninth to fill the bases with one out
only to have the next two men pop
out to short.
Rutherford of Markville, was in
great form, allowing only four hits
and tanning thirteen, while Wester-
man was nicked for thirteen hits and
struck out eight

4 FRIEND TO MAN

That person may find pleasure
and happiness in his everyday WORK
is Of the greatest importance. THAI
he or she may feel that they are ren-
dering service and that they take up
the daily tasks joyfully is worth more
than all the gold in the world. The
community of ASkov has had in its
midst for the past nine years in the
man of Jens Nielsen, who has now
passed to the Great Beyond. very
good example in this respect.
As was brought out so well in the
funeral sermon by the Rev. A. f..
Frost this quiet and unassuming citi-
zen enjoyed a rich and wholesome
life throughout his many years. He
was the inventor of the Viking pump,
and as such had a good income the
last 25 years of his life. He, however
throughout the first so years had
lived and enjoyed a very plain life,
which in fact he continued to the end:
He had learned to appreciate friends
and neighbOrs and was always work
ing for the welfare of his fellowmen.
He enjoyed his daily work whether
that was on the farm on the railroad.
in the quarry, in the factory, or at
the inventors table. 1t was never his
desire to accumulate great wealth.
nor did he ever seek publicity or
notoriety. His happiness and con-
tentment came out of serving and OF
being a friend to man. He was an
outstanding example in work being
a pleasure Without work he would
not have been happy and that does
not mean that he did not enjoy a rest
He was very regular in his ways OF
living certain hours for work, and
certain hours for recreation and up
building.
During his nine years of residence
here he was naturally not as busy as
in his middle age, this was rather his
sunset of life, but his mind was CON
stantly occupied for the welfare of his
family, his friends, those near and
dear to him, the community, and
humanity as a whole. His kind
face. his words which always carried
weight. his good advice, and his
hospitality will be missed, but
- his memory will be cherished. and the
world is a better place for his havine
lived.

TWO SIDES OF CHARACTER

To show how men will allow their
tempers to make monkeys of them
was demonstrated in Houston, Texas,
recently when a man walked into a
pay telephone, gave the number he
wanted, got another, pulled his re-
volver and fired several shots into the
instrument
1t is very disgusting, of course, to
get the wrong number numerous times
when person is busy, very busy, and
it is better, of course, that the man
shot the telephone instead of taking
that course against the operator, but
such temper might, of course, work
the other way if the man were crossed
in person instead of mechanically.
Evolution has been argued extern
sively of recent years, and those in
favor of it are not far off when it
comes to a case of this kind, but in
stead of evCluting from the monkey,
some human beings are reverting back
to that animal. Similar incidents hap
pen frequently in this civilized world,
and at the moment may be of q conf
cal nature, but upon second thought,
they are disgusting to the utmost, and
the perpetrator should be punished
severely, for like occurrences of i'll
temper can reap havoc in society.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-07-24

On the other hand while talking OF
might call attention to a strange &C.
currence in st. Johns, N. F. recently
when a man was killed by lightning
while he was attempting to warn his
wife not to telephone during an cleo
trio storm. Not being at home, he
endeavored to call her on the tele-
phone, and while waiting for the con-
nection was killed.
This demonstrated a vein of char
acter which should be cultivated and
strengthened by everyone. Something
of higher nature in man like this
causes good in the world. and makes
for a better world morally.

Down on the beach the Travel Man
said, Boys, I think I have a plan.
Why don't you stage a little race to
zee who swirns the best. Ill be the
Judge and stay on shore. For one OF
YOU a treats in store. The winner
gets a candy bar as soon a you're all
dressed"
This plan brought forth a mighty
cheer. Then Scouty cried, We'll
start down here and swim up to that
little stage and then right back again.
Remember, ere the ace begins, the
first one backs the one who wins.
You'd better all look out for me. I'm
speedy now and then"
They then lined up and off they
tore, much to the fun Of those on
shore. Each Tiny splaShed and
strived real hard to make a lot Of
speed. The Travel Man cried out,
"Hey, boys! Just swim and don't
make SO much noise. A swimming

But, on they went, as best they
could. They passed the stake just

as they should and started on the
home stretch. Then twas thrilling
as could be. Wee Clowny who
thought he'd be worst, lunged forth
and reached the finish first. He won
the candy bar and was IS tickied as
could be.
That night the bunch were glad to
learn that they were moving on to
Berne. The trip seemed rather short
and when they got there, they were
glad. 1.-THE capital Of Switzerland is

exclaimed the friendly Travel Man
"You bet" said one small lad.
They rode up to q great big inn.
Said one, "Our fun will now begin.

YOU HAVE A DOCTORS
WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE

In 1875, an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. As a
family doctor, he saw the harm in
harsh purgatives for constipation
and began to search for something
harmless to the sensitive bowels.
Out of his experience was born
a famous prescription. He wrote it
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
AS people saw how marvelously the
most sluggish bowels are started
and bad breath, headaches, fever
ishness, nausea, gas, poor appetite,
and such disorders, are relieved by
the prescription, it became neces-
sary to put it up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, as it is called, is the worlds
most popular laxative. 1t never
varies from DR.. Caldwell's original
effective and harmless formula.
Ali drugstores have it.
