Moreover, it may we'll be asked
what will the Leaguers of. North Da-
kota who may win Republican nomin-
ations in next years campaign, do in
respect to the national ticket? If
they do not openly support Mr.. Hoo
yer for re-election-and that will be
difficult to do-they will at least not
oppose the Hoover candidacy BY
wearing the livery of the devil the
Republican Nonpartisans must coop
crate with him to some extent.
l trust that the Nonpartisan
Leaguers of North Dakota will in
their next convention decide to launch
a Farmer-Labor party and quit their

Aids Relief Drive.
r. H. Burrill, mayor of Hawley, is
surely public-spirited man. A few
days ago he sent telegram to Myrtle
Cain, director of direct relief COM
mittee, Minneapolis, advising her that
he was sending 300 bushels of pota-
toes for distribution by the committee
His telegram reads as follows:
Direct Relief Committee, Myrtle
Cain, Director,
$50 Jackson Street, N. E. Minneapolis,
MINI.
"Am vitality interested in the work
of the Direct Relief Committee. Be-
lieve in soundness of your plan for
directly aiding needy. Am sending
300 bushels Clay county potatoes for
distribution by your committee. Hope
this brings like response from other
potato producing regions.
Signed, R. H. Burill,
Mayor of Hawley."
The Direct Relief Committee which
is functioning in Minneapolis has a
practical plan of bringing relief to
the needy. 1t is safe to state that one
dollar contributed either in COM
modities or money will go farther in
rendering aid than ten dollars contri-
buted to the Community fund. This
fact is now being generally recog-
nized throughout this and other states.

ASkov Church Situation

At a recent meeting of the direc-
tors of our local church l was re-
quested to write for publication in the
Askov American concerning the finan-
cial situation of the church. Our
church is in dire need of funds for
carrying on the work and l wonder
If people in this community do real
lie the seriousness of this condition.
Some efforts have been made to make
people came to this realization, but
evidently more must be done. If this
writeup of mine does not bring any
results it will be necessary to discuss
the problem at our next business
meeting of the church and most likely
elect some one to canvas the COM
munity trying to collect funds for
keeping the good work going. We
cannot continue in this way piling
debts upon debts, letting the minister
wait and wait for his salary and keep
piling bills on the treasurer's desk
until he is about to drown"
We know people are very hard up
these days, it is hard to raise money
for any purpose, but it is a great mis-
take to let the church be one of the
last items on our waiting list" If
all other bills have to be paid first
the church certainly will have to wait
too long.
l am certain that almost everybody
can spare a dollar or two now and
then. Don't keep on waiting and
thinking that at some future date you
will be able to contribute a larger
sum. If we all give little now it
will help considerably. l know there
is great many people in Askov who
should be sorry to see us close the
church and discharge our good mini
ster and l am sorry to say, the situa-
ton is as grave as that. A great and
industrious community like this GER
tainly should BE able to support this
one and only local church. There is
a space in every community that only
the church can fill. Let us put our
shoulders to the wheel and push the
good work along.
Most people will admit that a COM
munity without churches and Chris
tian influences is not a fit place in
which to live. However, some one
might not find it possible to make
any contribution at present, but we
sincerely do hope that none will re-
frain from attending church services
or other church activities for that
reason.
At your earliest convenience see A.
Gravesen, the treasurer.

NEW YORK, Dec. THE stock
market met substantial support
earlier today, but toward noon
prices suddenly went into reverse
and the whole list softened and
trading continued dull.
Steel common touched 547s, but
around noon it slipped back to 53M,
of u from the previous close.
American Telephone, which sold at
1919, up ~, lost nearly all it's
gain. New York Central dropped
more than a point from its high.
Heavy pressure converged on
Standard Oil Of New Jersey, which
dropped to 407s, off IL from an
earlier high of 3778. Other oil shares
held about steady, unaffected by the
drop in the leader.
Auburn Auto was carried up to
127ia. up 8 points, only to fall back
to 12334. General Motors held
around the previous close, PAS, de-
spite estimates the company would
show loss of II cents to Is cents
share in the final quarter.
The general list followed the
trend of the leading issues. The
early rise was ascribed to short
covering in advance of the conven-
ing of congress and the Presidents
message.
There was no explanation offered
for the decline which took place
just before congress went into ses-
sion.

CHICAGO, Dec. T.-Weakness ab
Liverpool gave wheat minor frac-
tional downturn as the Board Of
Trade opened today. There was
scattered selling at the start with
little support in evidence. The Eng
lish market was easy on a lack of
demand, disregarding the million
bushel decrease in world shipments.
largely resulting from lower Ameri-
can exports. Trade was light at
the start, composed mainly of over
the-week-end selling orders. Corn
eased with wheat, but more un-
evenly, March showing resistance.
Oats was weak with other grains.
At the opening wheat was IS to *
cent lower; corn was i to q cent
lower. and oats 4 to ss cent down.
Provisions were slow and steady.
Liverpool was higher, but not as
strong as expected. and allowing for
the decline in sterling, showed a
net loss Of 7s to cent at mid after
noon. The world wheat production
of thirty nine countries As estimated
by the department of agriculture is
3.283.615,000 bushels. against 3.401.-
$4,000 bushels last year.
Corn is taking its cue from wheat
and the trend in stocks. Another
depressing factor is the low price Of
hogs.
Disappearance of oats has been
largely through industries and feed
ing, as evidenced in the slow declins
in stocks at leading markets.
