ASSAILS R. F. c. LOAN
Mrs. Caraway Cites Advance to
Dawes Bank.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, July % LP.-
Senator Hattie w. Caraway in a speech
last night in her campaign Tor renomi-
nation assailed the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and its loan of
S80,000,000 to the Chicago bank of
Charles g. Dawes, former chairman of
the corporation.
1T will have to be a very strong bank
to be able to ray the interest alone, -
she said, Ito say nothing of repayment
of the principal"
ITO me-" Senator Caraway continued,
"the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton is big funnel with spongy sides
which absorbs all money poured into it
for the relief of large interests-never
drop dribbling to the bottom TO men
and women who need it most.
Il believe that if Congress would quit
trying to legislate prosperity, and just
let the State be independent, nom
borrowing, and once more let the
farmer alone to use his hands and
brains without governmental interfer-
ence. we would find cure for the de-
preston"

flags which have been flying between
the Republican and Democratic camps
for several weeks have been lowered
this week along the Congressional bat
tie line. The peace which prevailed
was due entirely to mutual recogni-
ton that vital relief legislation could
not pass without cooperation on a
nOn-partisan basis. 1t is to the credit
of the Congress that essential meas
ures have been pushed through with
minimum of controversy. The leg
islators with normal desire for
passing fame were willing to forego
the opportunities presented i'm debat-
ing the legislation affecting all clas-
ses of citizens. With the last of emer-
gency bills out of the path tempers
and partisanship are again showing.
A presidential campaign is actually
underway and all pretense to neu-
trality has been exploded.
1t is obvious that the echoes of the
aFOllette-Costigan direct govern
ment relief measure will carry over
into the 1882 campaign. The Senate
turned down what a majority choose
to regard as "dole." The PROPOSE
tion reached out into every state and
must necessarily form a background
for contests in Congressional districts
as well as local political battles deal

$4,000 VERDICT IS
UPHELD AGAINST GIN.
RAILROAD FOR DEATH

The $4,000 verdict, which was
awarded Mrs. Kathryn E. Lindberg of
Superior against the Great Northern
Railway for the death of her husband,
William j. Lindberg, killed Feb. 25,
1880, when a passenger locomotive on
which he was fireman was derailed
at AskOv, was upheld by the state
supreme court the past week, accord
ing to report.
The accident occurred at Askov
when the $50 evening southbound
flyer was derailed at the south switch
entrance. The plaintiff contended
that the engineer was negligent in
failing to stop within a half mile
after he had noticed some thing was
wrong with the two front wheels on
the engine. The locomotive was de-
rallied and tipped over causing the
fireman to be crushed by the coal ten
der when he jumped from the cab.
The engineer climbed to safety
through top window of the cab. The
argument that an emergency stop
could have been made in time to pre-
vent derailment of the engine was up
held by the court
Previous to suit brought by the
plaintiff, it is understood that the
railway company offered to pay $1O,-
600 to the widow and furnish her
with lifetime transportation.

ing with unemployment relief. Some
proponents of Federal aid to the I'M
employed and needy were moved by
a genuine desire to help the afflicted
and helpless citizens. Others, saw
nothing in the situation but a chance
of playing politics with human mis-
cry" Fortunately for the nation, this
type was not in evidence for more
than a moment.
Advocates of real efficiency and
economy in the operation of the Fed
eral government are hopeful that
something more than gestures will de-
velOp from current proposals to elimi-
nate myriads of official agencies. Sen
ator Joe Robinson, Democratic leader,
hit the nail on the head by pointing
out the difficulty of abolishing COM
missions when the public Treasury is
handy. 1t is not easy to get on a
government payroll and twice as
hard to separate an officeholder from
a job no matter how useless the post.
Congress and the Administration are
at odds over ways and means to ac-
complish the changes. The president
favors consultations but the legisla-
tors feel that the necessary reforms
will come by welding the axe-thus
looping off expensive jobs not mere
transfers. Studies by commissions

ASKOV FARMER
PASSES AT SO
Louis Elkjer Attended A Funeral
Same Day He Died at Night of
Heart Attack,

1t was sudden and severe shock
to the Askov community when the
news spread Friday morning that Louis
ElkJer, 80, a substantial and hard
working farmer, had passed away the
night before. He had attended the
Mrs. knud Feldtmose funeral Thurs
day afternoon and apparently was in
his usual health, but heart attack
at the time of retiring that night
caused his death within an hour
about midnight.
Louis Elkjer was born near Ven
nerup, Upland, Denmark, on March 4,
1882, and would have been SO years
old on his next birthday. He came to
America as young man at the age of
25, together with an uncle who then
resided at Anoka. He did farm work
there for a year and half after
which he worked at ditching and
other jobs in different parts of Min
nesota, coming to Askov in 1914. He
purchased 40 acres of wild land, ~
miles southeast of town, cleared it,
erected buildings and made good
farm of this home until he passed
away.
In 1915 Mr.. Elkjer was united in
marriage to Miss Jensine X. Larsen,
who was then employed at Omaha,
the marriage taking place at Mime
apolis. Five children were born to
this union, two of whom passed away
in infancy. Mrs. Elkjer died in 1922.
Mr.. Elkjer continued his residence on
his farm together with his three chill
dren. In 1927 he was united in mar
riage to Miss Marie Andersen of the

AskOU Poultry
Flock Has High
Laying Average

j. P. MadSen, AskOv farmer and
poultryman, made a good record
in December with his flock of
white leghorns, in fact good
enough that he brought prOduc-
tion to the point where it ranked
second highest of any of 81 flocks
reporting throughout the state to
the University Farm.
Two eggs every three days for
each hen is what the flock pro-
duced during the month, accord
ing to the official report just re-
ceived at the county agents office
from Miss Cora Cooke, poultry
specialist at University Farm.
Mr.. Madsen is one of the three
poultry flock record co-Operators
in Pine county for the coming
year. The flock is composed of
1876 white Leghorn hens and pull
lets. And as result of the pro-
duction the record shows that the
flock laid an average of 20.4 eggs
per hen for the month.
The highest record flock is
owned by Carl Sound of Cook
county, whose flock of Leghorns
produced 20.9 eggs per day. Ac-
cOrding to the record sent in by
Mr.. Madsen, cost of production
was S23.56 which included feed,
gallons of gas for lights, cod
liver oil, oyster shells, milk,
roots, and alfalfa hay was $14.36.
Two hours of labor was spent on
the flock per day, which Mr.. Mad
sen charged to his costs, amount
ing to 1920 or a total of S23.56.
The 4,O3S eggs laid, were sold
for an average of 17.S cents per
dozen, returned S6O.91 or a net
profit not including building rent
al amounting to S3755.
The average PRODUCTION of the 81
flocks reporting was 10.5 eggs per
hen. The standard production for
December is 6.5 eggs.

COUNTY SEAT QUINT
WINS FROM MOOSE

The Pine City high school basket
Friday evening by winning close
game from Moose Lake. The Moose
Lake team had previously defeated
Pine City quite easily and gave them
a run for their money in the game
last Friday evening which was played
80 and was not decided until the very
last second of the game.
1t was fast, close game with
Moose Lake taking an early lead and
holding it throughout the first half
which ended 10 to ~ in Moose Lakes
favor. At the start of the second half,
Pine City ran up a seven point lead
which was too much for the Lakers
to overcome. although they contin-
ually threatened.
For Moose Lake, Ford was a star
player, and Ellis at center proved to
be their best scorer making eight
points. Ellis went out in the second
half on personal fouls.
Lester Tate was the outstanding per-
former for Pine City, making 10 points
in all and playing a wonderful floor
game besides. McKusick collected
four field goals as his share of the
victory. TrOllen at center for Pine
City had the jump in the second half
and made five points. The game was
refereed by Kern of Duluth.

FIRES RAID BUT THE
FIREMEN ARE ON JOB

Pine City's fire department had
three calls in two days this week and
saved two residences and one bust
ness establishment from severe fire
damage. Monday morning about 10
o'clock the siren sounded calling them
to the w. P. Gottry residence where
a roof fire was in progress. This fire
was promptly checked before the fire
could spread to any extent.
Scarcely had the fire equipment
been placed in the fire hall when the
siren again sounded calling the fire
fighters to the Cranton residence
where another roof fire was going
nicely. This fire was not so easily
extinguished and a large hole was
burned in the roof. The interior of
the residence and the furniture was
badly damaged by the smoke and
water.
About six o'clock Tuesday evening,
fire broke out in the rear of the Mil
grom clothing store, being caused by
an Overheated stove pipe. Some cloth
Ing was damaged but the main dam
age was caused by the smoke which
spread all through the building. How
ever, the fire department managed to
put out the fire without water so that
there was no damage from that
source. Extreme care used in fight
ing the fire undoubtedly saved con-
siderable damage to the large stock
OF clothing carried by Mr.. Milgrom.

Two Billion Dollars of Federal Money
Il Factor i'm Re.EStabliShing
Confidence i'm Banks.

The Reconstruction Finance Corp
Grafton, organized only a few weeks
ago, under the energetic direction of
General Dawes, is already function
ing and has made many loans to banks
and other industries.
The agency for this territory is
under the direction of Joseph Chap
man of Minneapolis, an able executive
and loans are being made from his
agency. The Minneapolis agency is
located in the Federal Reserve Bank
and is open for business. One of its
functions is to take care Of the finan-
cial needs of any bank in this dist
riot and Mr.. Chapman says they have
assurance from Washington that am
pie funds are available for this pur-
pose
j. N. Peyton, state bank commits
sioner, has written banks, advising
them, that if they need assistance, or
think they may need it, to get in
touch with Mr.. Chapman and to an
ticipate any such necessity. He adj
vises banks who do not need to Dor
row, to refrain from doing so.
While it appears that banks in Pine
county will not need to avail them
selves of the funds of this corporation,
it is, without question, they say, d
well directed move. Pine county bank
ers further assert that it puts the
smaller banks in position where
they can stand any reasonable strain
and what is of much greater import,
it creates a feeling of greater con-
fdence in banks.
The bankers are experiencing that
money formerly carried around in
pockets or tucked away in the sock
or mattress is finding it's way back
into the banks, for after all, most
people much prefer the bank to any
other place for their money. All they
want to know is that it is safe.
The Reconstruction Finance Corp
Grafton will have two billions of dol
lars at its disposal for the assistance
of banks, railroads, insurance COM
panies and other financial institutions
throughout the country.
