In IS years of work as matron at
a railroad station Mrs. James T.
Leach, of Minneapolis, who gave up
her work recently, has come to know
how small and yet how great is the
human makeup. During the time of
her service with the railroad Mrs.
Leach has helped bewildered stran-
gers; sent runaways back to their
homes again; smoothed over differ
ences that developed in families;
aided the sick or penniless; and lis
tened to many heartfelt condolences.
She has looked upon the human soul
both inside and out"
In commenting upon her work Mrs.
Leach said, 81 have learned from this
work that people would rather talk
about their troubles than anything
else and that makes our work easier"
she said. 1--WE notice them sitting
in the station for a while and soon
we are in conversation with them
and they pour out all of their woes

and yet how utterly helpless in times

MINNESOTA'S WINTER

People living in eastern and south
ern climes and even those spending
their summers in this state often talk
of the cold winters experienced in
Minnesota but so far the laugh has
been on those who this year flew away
south with the birds. To date very
little cold weather and practically
no snow has been with us and such
excellent weather seems as real bles-
sing coming at the time when unem-
ployment is experienced by so many.
The mild weather at least removes
the spectre of cold from those who
barely have enough to keep hunger
away.
Even though the weather will get
cold and SHOWS will come in large
quantities winters in a greater part
of the state will not have the sting
they used to have. Farmers and viii
lagos in outlying districts will not be
forced to remain at home for long as
they used to be, thanks to the higher
roads and machinery for clearing
snow from the larger trails.

WANTS TAX COMMITTEE
Editor Askov American:

aShoN ihCiiSoL.
The tax situation in Pine county is
serious, and if possible something
should be done and must be done as
soon as possible. If we are waiting
for legislative help, it will take too
long. While the problem is more
acute in some localities than in 9TH
ers, it is general all over the county.
The main burden of our taxes is
caused by township and school dis
trict expenses of course, but if we are
to get anything done that will be
worthwhile, it will be through COOP
GRAFTON of all who are concerned in
the welfare of the county. To lower
the salary of county officials will not
bring any noticeable relief. In this
case efficient economy of the official
will mean a great deal more to the
taxpayer than the salary he is paid.
But here is a plan that might give
results: The county commissioners
are to appoint a committee, or they
themselves may be this committee.
This committee should with the CO.
operation of the officials investigate
and try to find out if there is any
way or means whereby the tax bur-
den may be lessened. Anyone who has
a plan or some suggestion to this
effect could bring same to the COM
mittee who would after due considera-
ton make a report to the county COM
missioners. If the County Commits
sioners decide it is necessary and ad-
visable, public hearing could be
given this report, and the sentiment
of the taxpayers could be had better
than through newspaper articles and
petitions. To give an example of how
this committee could do some good
without waiting for legislation, take
for instance, if this committee came
to the decision that &c instead of 10c
is the correct mileage, feel sure the
officials would cooperate with the
taxpayers without legislation, and the
same would be true in regard to the
County Printing. The advisability Of
a County Assessor, the buying of road
machinery and culverts in co-opera-
tion and other operations that would
tend to cut down expenses could be
investigated intelligently by such a
committee. Some may say that such
a committee will just be another eX-
pense to the county, but while it will
cost some money, it might bring some
real results. If we are to get some
where, it must be through concerted
efforts and not by individuals or
groups working here and there in the
county.
1 am sending a copy of this article
to the commissioner of this district,
and asking him to bring this plan
before the county board.
Yours for just taxation, true econo-
my, and real cooperation,
CHRIS FREDRIKSEN.

OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT

Headlines from papers throughout
the country are heralding better times
ahead with announcements of indus
tries again employing men. To see
these announcements so early speaks
we'll for the coming year, and if the
spirit has anything to do with better
conditions, many men will be again
ON the payrolls earning a livelihood
for themselves and dependents.
Railroads and automobile plants re-
fleet the trend of industry in starting
extensions in business and improve
ments. In the Chicago and North
western railway organization 1000
men were returned to work Monday on
a three-day-a-week basis, while from
Detroit comes reports that automobile
plants in Michigan had re-engaged
$4,000 employees. Between 600 and 500
shopmen on the Monon line were re-
turned to work on a temporary basis
in Chicago. From North Little Rock,
Arkansas comes the report that 1000
employees were back on full time in
the shops of the Missouri-Pacific, and
these men will draw pay amounting
approximately to 100000 monthly. In
many other places like increases and
progress have been reported. With
these announcements circulated and
with approaching spring not many
weeks distant, the backbone of the
current business depression should be
broken.

death takes the last of the great
French military leaders.
Marshal Joffre was a stout-hearted
warrior such as was the strain of
ancient leaders of his nationality. He
was beloved by all France and a great
portion of the world who had been
permitted to learn of his deeds. He
instilled modesty in the hearts of his
neighbors with whom he had intimate
contact This is valueless trait.

NEWS AND COMMENT

Those being acquainted more or less
with Medieval history will remember
something about the Man in the Iron
Mask" For 300 years the mystery
surrounding this character in the
days of King Louis XIV of France.
has been dark and many conjectures
have been offered as to whom was be-
hind the mask.
Toward the end of the 18th century,
the mysterious man in the iron mask
was brought to the Isle of Sainte Mar
guerite where certain political pris-
cners were confined. He arrived late
one night in a tiny rOwboat and was
lodged in one of the dungeons so
history claims. There was whispering
at the time that he was the twin
brother of King Louis XIV. The po-
litical plotters of the day were pre-
sumed to have made this bold move
in order to remove possible claimant
for the throne of France. The boy
who subsequently became king fitted
i'll better with the ambitions of the
plotters, while the twin was of a
kindly disposition. They decided on
the plot to remove him from the pic
ture, it was thought.
Searching among the remains of the
fort is now stated to have revealed
scratching on one of the dungeon
walls in the form of the name Mat
toll" the name of the secretary of
state of Charles Nv. This fits in with
earlier clues, and seems to provide
the solution which has been sought
during centuries. Having betrayed
the confidence of Louis XIV, Mattioli
was arrested on May 2, 1879, and was
transferred March 10, 1894 to the dun
geon of Sainte Marguerite. He re-
manned there two and one-half years,
being removed in Sept. 1896 to the
Bastile, dying there in 1903.
This information reveals not only
the identity of the man in the iron
mask but also speaks for the thor
oughness which attended any move
made by those in power in those days.
1t is doubtful whether such secrets
if they were attempted now could
exist so long.
