postwar oans abroad and said heavy
pubic expenditures were necessary to
avoid social dangers.
THE reparations," he said have
shown themselves to be abhorrent. Ex-
perience excludes the possibility of re-
commencing the payments. A new trial
would end in new defeat.
Preparations were originally intended
for reconstruction. but now they are a
means of destruction"
Premier Herriot of France, replying
to the Germans speech, agreed that
Germany is not able to continue rep
arations payments for the present, but
he asserted that cancellation "is not
the most important problem to be con-
sidered here"
Mr.. Chamberlain said Great Britain
was convinced that governmental
obligations were disastrous to civiliza
ton. His government, he said, lis pre-
pared to share in general wiping of
the slate, provided all governments con-
cerned will do the same"
M. Herriot arose again to say with
some feeling that he wanted the Ger
man people to understand that France
is not callous to the difficulties of other
nations, but is trying to work for the
common good and the common peace.
Preparations One Element.
Cancellation of reparations would
strike deeply, however, he said. for rep
arations are an integral part OF the
European economic system.
Cancellation" he said. "is not an ef-
fcacious, equitable solution, for debts
and reparations are but one element OF
the worlds troubles.
TT is wrong to think that sudden
cancellation would restore economic
equilibrium. To do this it is necessary
to establish security. There is no po-
litcal peace without economic peace,
and vice versa.
More important than debts and re-
parations is the modification OF tariffs,
quotas and other trade restrictions. We
ask for our share only in the spirit OF
Justice which We wish for every nation y
After this exchange and before

Chancellor Won Papen indicated that

declare a moratorium on the $3.50, ,oOU,-

$4S,000,O00 Involved.
More than $48,000000 is involved in

The schools here have the earmarks
of the government. He added that in
America we are Observation-Disclosures
and asked the question:: Are we ready
to subscribe to the folk school idea?
He expressed the hope that the folk
school would be established in Amer
lea in time.
The Rev. Miller said that the school
down in North Carolina is mated to the
people of the mountains where gen.
erations have followed generations for
200 years or more. The school is
mated to the homes and shares the
joys and sorrows of the community
which is largely agricultural. 1t I'M
derstands and expresses the folk lore
spearian English without slang and
jazz. 1t is a community school and
representative of the people.
The Gandhi folk school over in In
dia melts the people into unity, said
the speaker. 1t is the soul of the
people and is not bent so much on
efficiency. The school is where the
soul can rediscover and find itself
Speaking of the people of India the
pastor said that they must decide as
to whether they will stick with one
European nation and die inch by inch
or stand alone and go ahead.
The folk school of Denmark came
about in a period of stress and hard
times. Previous to that the people
were individualistic. Their form of
agriculture and education then be-
came communistic (not politically said
the speaker.
We must live together and grow to-
gether said the speaker, and until
we have obedience and respect we do
not have a real home.

much more today than a few years
ago and that where the mother and
children formerly got $40 a month
they should now be able to get along
on $40.
There was also some discussion
about teachers wages, it being argued
that they should come down with the
decline of other prices. Some one
also brought out that farmers should
charge less for board to rural teach
ers now than formerly and If this
were done there would be better
chance of lowering the teachers
wages. 1t was also argued that while
it would not be practical to set any
certain definite wages to pay it would
be we'll to have a nearly uniform wage
scale to go by out over the county.
A committee was selected to bring
these matters before the countrywide
tax meeting at Pine City today, Feb.
4th.

sued to each member of the Oil asso-
citation. This paper deals with CO.
operative matters and it is evident,
said the speaker, that person cannot
be forced to become a cO-operator but
rather he should be educated to be
one. The speaker also spoke of CO
operation being the only form of re-
lief and that it would do no good to
wait for the government to give 1t.
He advocated cooperation in other
lines but at the same time intimated
that the ground must be laid care
fully first.
VIII Commend Governor.
After the speaking a discussion took
place and in the course of this H. R.
Buck offered the idea of a resolution
being drafted to be sent to Governor
Floyd B. Olson commencing his stand
OH the matter of recommending that
state trucks use cooperative gas and
oil. The meeting voted to send such
a resolution.
Before lunch was served by Mr.. and
Mrs. V. Heininge reelection of the
board of directors was voted and this
board elected H. r. Buck president
and Christ Larsen vice president
Thorvald Sorensen was reelected sec
retary-treasurer with A. P. Jensen and
Peter Petersen as directors.

II. S. BANDS PLAY

The Hinckley high school basket
ball team hung up the second victory
from Sandstone this season when it
gave them a 81 to II defeat last Fri
day night on the local floor.
The game was a thriller from the
first sound of the whistle. sanIst, ne
started the fray with three quick
field goals in succession making the
score 6 to 1 and blue start for the
local squad but from that point on
the Hinckley offensive began to perk
and a steady score was piled up to
end the half Is to s. Sandstone
showed a return of strength in the
second half but the substantial lead

Louis Olsen is expected home today
from a business trip which has taken
him to Minneapolis, Chicago, and
other points.
Thorvald Sorensen visited at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Holger Dixen,
in Charles City, Iowa, from Wednes-
day until Friday last week.
Mrs. Chr. Hansen was in Charles
City, Iowa, a few days last week for
a visit with her husband who is en-
ployed by the Askov Construction Co.
The Rev. A. E. Frost left Tuesday
evening for Des Moines, Iowa, where
he was scheduled to lecture at Grand
View College Wednesday. He is ex-
pected home today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben DietZ and two
children, Mr.. and Mrs. Filler Fisher
and Harold Fisher, all of Minneapolis,
were guests over Saturday and Sun
day at the Fisher and Dietz homes
here.
The Askov high school will stage
another tripleheader basketball game
in the ID. B. S. hall Friday night
when McGrath visits the local court.
Both the girls and first and second
boys teams will play.
The Askov Construction Co., at
Charles City, Iowa, have been obliged
to make temporary lay-offs of some
of their men on account Of waiting
for other construction in the building;
as a result of this Carl DiXen returned
to his home here Friday evening.
The wonderfully mild winter came
to an end-like all good things do,
and the past week has been featured
by a cold wave which sent the Their
mometer down to % degrees below
zero at times. 1t might be good for
something, however, as it surely re-
vived the coal industry.
The court case between Fred Steen
and John Christensen heard before
Justice of the Peace j. c. Jensen yes
terday afternoon produced some uneX-
pected problems, making it necessary
for the Justice to take the case under
Amusement, and it may later be re-
ferred to higher court.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Askov Telephone Co.
was held Thursday afternoon at which
time routine reports were read and
accepted. The annual report of the
company shows a considerable de-
crease in business, yet the officers
have met the situation by such re-
auctions in expenditures that the final
balance is not nearly as bad as might
be expected. The owners are hopeful
of pulling through the depression and
are confident that when normal times
return many former patrons will
again have their phones installed.
The election of the new board of di-
rectors resulted as follows: Arnold
SOrensen, Martin Sorensen, ]. P. So
rensen, ]. Albert Johnson and A. Hen
riksen. Mr.. Henriksen was not pres
ent, however, so in case he does not
accept the position then the remain
ing members will fill the board by ap-
pointment. ]. r. Petersen has been
secretary-treaSurer for five years
without compensation. He declined
reelection.

to settle down to a steady offensive

during the last few moments of play
but a field goal and a foul tucked
the game away safely.

REV. MILLER GIVES
FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The Rev. Aage Miller who is now
pastor at Menominee, Mich, spent
Sunday and Monday in the Askov
community and during the time he
was here was kept busy. He delivered
the sermon in the local church Sum
day forenoon, in the evening he lee
tured before the Young Peoples So
ciety, and Monday evening he was the
principal speaker at the parent-teach-
ers meeting. During his short stay
in the community he visited at the
home of his brothers, Carl and Niels
B. Miller, and with his many friends
here.
In his lecture Sunday evening the
Rev. Miller spoke about the impor-
lance of night as well as day for the
human race. He said that about one
third of our life is spent in bed, in
resting, and where we sleep best is
where we belong-that is home. The
best criterion to where we belong is
where we rest the best.
The speaker said we must prepare
for night as well as the day, fear
should be eliminated from the mind.
The word came from a source where
there is no fear, and if in fear at
night an honest prayer will remove
that fear. The heart beats at night
the same as in the day time and prog
ress is made during the quiet hours.
Importance of Quiet.
The necessity and benefits of sleep
and rest were pointed out by the
speaker when he said that efforts are
made to get sick people to sleep, tu-
berculosis patients must have rest and
sleep. And amongst the animals the
bear hibernates for three to four
months and during this time the
young ones are born.
When perpleXed on a matter of bust
ness or a big problem folks sometimes
sleep on it, and in the morning are
better prepared to solve it. They see
it more clearly. The final touch on
an invention is generally made early
in the morning after a good nights
rest. The same holds true of good
poetry and other writings, said the
speaker.
In the absence of Chairman A. w.
Conaway of the Parent-Teachers As
ISOLATION, Superintendent Fred Grafel
man presided at the meeting in the
school house Monday evening, and in
trOduced the speaker, the Rev. Aage
Miller. Several songs were sung by
the audience and the Misses Ruth
Hansen and Ellen Miller entertained
with three vocal duets to which they
played guitar accompaniment
The Rev. Miller chose as his sub
ject the school and enlarged upon the
folk school idea, citing the one at
Brasston, N. c., conducted by Mrs.
Campbell, the Gandhi school at Ash
ram, India, and the folk schools in
Denmark
The Folk School.
The speaker said that the American
public school is more efficient than
the schools of any other nation. 1t
is associated with the government to
induce children to become loyal citi-
zens. The American people are the
most conservative of all the people in
the world, they do not care so much
about government but are more in
terested in economics. The European
people are more interested in politics.
