THE WORLD

My boy, it's pretty good world, you'll find,
If you look straight ahead and don't look behind.
Though it sometimes,
And it blows sometimes,
And you think it is flooded with woes sometimes;
It's glad old world
And sad old world
Or bad old world
When you make it so.
But just bear in mind wherever you go
That somewhere the grand old suns aglow!
Forge ahead with smile, my boy,
And make your existence worth while, my boy!
Push ahead-don't stop
Though you sometimes DROP
Don't give up till you reach the top!
Git up and git
And lot of grit
Are the things that label man as eft"
There's shadow here and dark place there,
But you'll find the sunshine is everywhere
If you look for it. Chirk up! Elate!
Rub the word 'Pessimst" off your slate!
Meet the knocks with a grim
But never give in,
And, sooner later, you're bound to win!

The Time Has Come for
the 0ut|aWing Of War
Continued from Page -


Germany upholds its actions, and so
on. Even the churches are made use
of for propaganda purposes during the
conflicts.
Some of the propaganda used during
the World war to incite Americans
and other Allies against Germany
was recited by the speaker. The news
was sent broadcast that Germans
were boiling dead bodies for the oil.
Belgium priests were punished for
refusing to ring the church bells
when Germany took Antwerp. The
hands of Belgian babies were chopped
off by Germans. Since the war search
has been made for those children who
were supposed to have their hands
cut off, said the speaker, but they
cannot be found.
The sinking of the Lusitania In
1915 was one of the causes that led
up to Americas entry in the World
war, said the speaker. Americans had
been warned by Germany a week be-
fore the sailing of the Lusitania not
ried ammunition for the Allies. There
were 5,400 cases of ammunition on
board the boat The U. S. Senate
tried to expell Senator Robert M. La
Toilette for stating that the Lusitania
carried ammunition. The collector
of customs at the port of New York
saved LaFollette from expulsion by
proving that his statement was cor
rect.
How to Do Away With War.
Propaganda itself is an indictment
against war, said Mr.. Johansen. He
offered some remedies for doing away
with the law of the jungles, stating
that abolition of secret diplomacy
must come. International agreements
such as the League of Nations, World
Court. and Kellogg Peace Treaty will
have their effect. They are at least
a stepping stone in the right direc-
ton. The social conduct of the indi-
vidual is under control. Why not
international affairs? There is war
department. Why not a peace de-
pdrlInenC. ReQuctlOn or armamontS.
economic boycott on the warning ma
tions, referendum on war, and con-
scriptiOn of wealth as we'll as men
will all have a great bearing on mill
taristic actions, said the speaker.
Bethlehem steel stock scared when
the United States entered the war
in 1917. showing who are interested
from an economic standpoint, said
the speaker. The individual must
think for himself and not in terms Of
propaganda. Einstein, an ardent
pacifist said, that if two per cent of
those called in for service in the last
war had refused to serve they would
have filled all the jails to overflow
ing. There must be enlistments for
peace, said Mr.. Johansen, it calls for
courage to stand up for convictions
against social pressure. There must
be abolition of war and then we can
talk about progress again. In the
United States there are great posi-
bilities for doing much in this way.
A philosophy of peace is needed. Love
is real fight for peace and not war,
was the speakers final assertion.

ious methods of trading on the mar
for all members of the Askov associa-
tiOn to stick together regardless of
how they shipped their livestock to
market. "YOu can save materially on
your marketing expense whether you
ship by rail or by truck, but regard
ISOLATION together" he said.
Mr.. Gardner pointed out the neces-
sity of farmers to patronize the ter
minal market rather than to sell their
stock direct to packers. "At the mar
ket," he said, you will have all the
packers competing one with another
at a point where supplies are concen-
trated. This is the only way to es-
tablish the highest price available.
By selling direct to packers, you have
no competition from other buyers, the
purchaser uses his own scales to
weigh your stock and he grades and
sorts them according to his own lik-
ing,-which naturally is in favor Of
the packer"
Organized i'm 1919.
The Askov Livestock Shipping As
sOciation was first organized in July,
1919, according to records cited by A.
P. Jensen. Mr.. Jensen was the first
president of the association and he
is now secretary.
At the election of officers Saturday,
H. Clausen became the new president,
filling the vacancy left by Jens Arm
bal, who is retiring and moving to
Albert Lea. D. j. Adolphsen was
elected vice president, A. P. Jensen,
secretary; A. Gravesen, treasurer; and
Chris Sorensen, director. Chris Lar
sen is manager, and loads and cares
for stock enroute to market.
Following the meeting was the
usual fine lunch of sandwiches, sweet
rolls and coffee served in the hall, by
T. w. Hansen.
