L presume Mr.. Pearson is trying to
carry out this doctrine.
He further states he don't believe
any three farmers could agree on any
one thing for any length of time
Well, am sorry Mr. Pearson has lost
SO much faith in the farmers, but
even if he is correct in his belief
could we blame them for losing faith
in everybody when their enemies are
continually studying up ways to de-
ceive and fool them. They naturally
become mistrustful and if Mr.. Pear
son is right might be afraid to stick
TO anything.
But come on settlers | still have
faith in you and we will show the
world we can stick together long
enough to keep the proposed game

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
IN WAY OF COOPERATION

Editor Askov American:
1t is very interesting and a great
pleasure to read the opinions of others
in the columns of our local paper
about tax reduction and other social
and economic questions, but what
good does it do to discuss all that
if no action is taken on it. But how
are we going to take action on it?
That is another question; the only
way that | see is through organiza-
ton.
We have seen how the big business
concerns are organized and the labor
unions and we feel the result of it
which ought to be a good lesson for
US farmers and help us to realize
that the only way we can expect to
get any relief from the burden that
is weighing down on us so heavy
that it is almost impossible for us to
carry it any longer, is to organize
not as union that demands a certain
price for our commodities and GER
tain hours to work in but as a real
cooperative organization. Then we
can demand just compensation for
our labor which will relieve us to a
great extent.
Now the opposition to cooperation
has told us time and again that that
can not be done. Why? because we
are too dumb and second on account
OF all the different nationalities. But
that is not the reason we are not as
dumb as they try to make us. think
the main reason is lack of confidence
in our own ability to do things. Now
like to tell you something that goes
to disprove the one reason that the OPP
position comes with and it was all &C
complished by one man who had con-
fidence both in his own and the farm
ers ability to do things in a locality
where the population consists of many
different nationalities. In 1919 was
farming down in Nuckolls county,
Nebr, and one day in the spring of
that year young man came riding
in to the farm on a bicycle and intro
duced himself as James Norgaard, a

talk very good English but he could
talk cooperation in such a convincing
way that it left no question in our
mind as to which was the right thing
to do. To me he said, you are born
cooperative, | do not need to tell
you about the benefits of it. But l
want to sell you shares in a farmers
union creamery that we are going to
build down in Superior" He did not
say, we are going to try; no he said
we are going to. He said that in
such a matter of fact way like moth
ing could stop us, not even the big
centralizer that was already estab-
lished then and he proved it and what
is the result? They have a co-opera-
tive creamery and a business that
runs into millions of dollars and the
centralizer bought out and have their
own refrigerator cars selling their
own butter and have a similar plant
at Aurora, Nebr. 1t is all accom-
plished through that one mans con-
fidence both in his own and the farm

A truck operated by Angelo Ras- co of 275 River street overturned yesterday afternoon on the Ches- hire highway near the Reidville school. The driver escaped injury, but his father, John Rasco, gro- cer, and his sister. Josephine, were painfully injured. They were taken to St Mary's hospital for treatment. The little girl suffered lacerations of the hands and arms, while the father was cut about the face and head.
 The slippery condition of the highway due to the. storm, which visited here yesterday afternoon was given as the cause. The top of the truck was badly damaged.
 Gustave Franzen. 51, of Pros pect suffered five fractured ribs. a broken pelvis and a fractured an- kle and leg as the result of an accident Saturday afternoon on the farm of Gus Musinski in Prospect. He was driving horse attached to a wagon loaded with wood. The animal became fright ened and bolted. The wagon over turned and FranZen was not only hurled to the ground with some force, but most of the heavy tim bers landed on hip. He was found by fellow workmen ana brought to the Waterbury hospital:
 Miss Katherine Fellows. 20, or 5O1 North Main street. Union City, was injured this morning in an au- tomobile collision on Baldwin street, near Sylvan avenue. She was taken to St Mary's hospital and given treatment for lacerations of the scalp. She was apparently cut by flying glass.

 "A horrible mess has been made of the Lindbergh case"
 Many important points were overlooked in the early stages of the investigation. Certain lines or procedure were not followed.
 Detection against high trained criminals is a work of logic and science combined. Every case IS just like a Chinese puzzle-one has to fit it piece by piece until the last and final bit is properly placed"
 The secret service said none Of the bank notes used by Col Lind bergh in making the $50,000 ran- som payment have been found, other than the two discovered in New York city shortly after the ransom was paid.
 Reports were received here periodically that some of the notes have turned up, but each report has proved false. Attempts to trace the two bills turned in at branch of the Corn Exchange bank in New York have been futile. Finger prints taken from the notes do not check with any of the thousands in the files of the justice departments bureau of investigation.

Weary Veterans Are Still Stubborn And
 Refuse To Retreat
Were Hungry, Discouraged and Somewhat Resentful

Washington, July 18-(U. P.) = Thousands of stubborn, weary, be- wildered veterans of military action who marched on congress to de- mand action on the soldiers bonus asked their leaders to-day where do we go from here?" and the ans- wer was vague talk of political action at the polls."
 : Congress from whom the army expected action had adjourned.
 The veterans organization was split into rival camps.
 They had won only two minor skirmishes-a cut in interest on bonus insurance policies and elim- ination of a time limit on first grant of loan.
 They were hungry, discouraged, resentful.
 They had nothing to do but think about their troubles. they had no place to do it except home, and home was a weltering, sinking mud camp along the Potomac.
 And their leaders had no pro- gram, no idea of what they should and could no next, no definite. tam gible objective for their army. The bonus army's last hopes of early victory dissolved when con- gress adjourned Saturday night, not to return until December. But there were no indications of any breakup of the army's forces. The men have another week to take ad- vantage of the governments loan to transport them home.
 Lets see it out now that we're here" was the attitude of most of the men who have been, living for weeks in smelly shelters and eating little but coarse beans and. era acked wheat porridge.

 The two minor victories came when congress enacted bill re- ducing the interest rate on govern ment loans to veterans from 1-2 to 1-2 per cent. It also eliminated the previous provision that veter- ans could not borrow on their ser vice certificates until two years af- ter the certificates were issued.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, July 18-(UP)- The adjournment of congress meant relaxation for fortunate few of the members. To others it meant the beginning of hard fight to hold their jobs.
 The ranks of both parties are worried. In tho words of one mem- Der, "It looks like a bad year for the ms and a good one for the 'outs'.'
 To the clerical staffs, which of- ten bear the heaviest share of a congressman's tasks, it will mean q setup. They will have time to cal! at each. others offices and gossip in the corridors. They maye have two or three hours for lunch.
 The cooling system in the house and senate chambers is shut off and the Capitol restaurants are closed. The clerks will have to undergo the hardship of lunch in some cafeteria off the hot streets.
 Some members were unable to wait until congress actually ad- journed. Congressman Ike Bach arach, republican of Atlantic City, ~. J" could not mis another week. end away from his constituency and the cooling breezes of the At lantic. He came to bid Speaker Garner goodbye Saturday noon. Then he hurried to catch the one o'clock train.
 Good luck, Ike," Garner called after him. T don't like your breed, but if you republicans, must control congress I hope you're here with them.''
 His ruddy face gleaming, Ike waved and ran on.
 Garner and Bacharach have been godo friends during the past ses- sion. They have much in common. Garner only recently came out against prohibition. Bacharacb has always been opposed to it.
 The reminiscent recall that when President Hoover called the con ference on his economic program last year, Bacharach and the fu- ture speaker conferred for hours. When they later went into the ex- ecutive mansion they traded hats, clasped hands and danced jovially on the front porch.
