TEAMS DRAW
FOR TOURNEY
Six Independent Basketball Quints OF
District VIII Compete at vii.
low River.

The climax of independent basket
ball in this section will be reached
Saturday night and Sunday afternoon
and evening in Willow River when
six teams of the district will be pitted
against each other in an elimination
tournament to pick a representative
to the state meet to be held in the
Minneapolis auditorium March 1 to G..
Drawings have been made and the
first game at Z o'clock Saturday eve
ming will be staged between the Askov
AllStars and Wright A. c. The sec
ond game at o'clock will be a con-
test between the Willow River Inde-
pendents and Barnum Battlers, while
the Sandstone Rockets and Hinckley
will furnish the entertainment in the
third game of the evening at 9 o'clock.
The winners of these three agnes will
draw, in the presence of the crowd
after the contests Saturday night for
the semi-final match to be played
Sunday afternoon at o'clock and the
losers will draw for a consolation con-
test at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
In each instance, since there will be
three teams in each of the losing and
winning groups, there will be a bye
and the ones drawing the byes will
play the winners of the afternoon con-
ISOLATION and semi-final championship
match in the evening respectively.
The final consolation match will be
played at s p. m. Sunday and the
championship game will be played at
8 o'clock.
Practically all of the teams are
evenly matched according to the sea-
sons scores, with the exception of
Wright and this team may be the
dark horse of the tourney since it
has not been pitted against any of
the county teams in the regular play
ing season.
A large crowd is expected at the
tournament since each team will have
a goodly number of supporters pulling
for it to come through.
The tournament is sponsored by the
Willow River Independent team under
the management of Eddie Sexton and
is authorized by the state association
of amateur Independent basketball
teams.

STOCK WEIGHT
MINIMUM LESS
Railroads Lower Minimum CarlOt
Shipments From $4,000 to
5000 Pounds.

In order to more effectively meet
truck competition various railroads
have adopted a set of lower minimum
shipments to market. The latest TO
Join this move is the Great Northern
railroad whose line runs through
Askov and other Pine county points.
Heretofore the minimum amount
that could be shipped from any point
either mixed cattle, hogs and sheep
shipments, or straight cattle ship
ments, was $4,000 pounds. Now, be-
ginning Feb. 20, the minimum has
been cut down to the point where if
only 5000 pounds of either mixed
stock or cattle alone is to be had,
then that shipment can be loaded on
car and sent to market. Even
though the smaller minimums require
an increase in rate in proportion it
is hailed as better service since it Is
seen that at times in the past ship
ments could not be made when it was
found that the $4,000 pounds could
not be obtained.
The new schedule, using Askov as
shipping point and South St. Paul
as the destination, is as follows:

Carl NJ Johanson has been ap-

Seattle, Wash, and Alaska branch of
the Sandviken Iron Works, Sweden
one of the greatest industrial corpora
tions of that country. Mr.. Johanson
was born in Furuby, Sweden, in 1867,
came to the United States in 1881, at
tended high school in Omaha, Neb.,
and became a bachelor of law at the
Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y. For
some years he practiced law in New
York, later in Duluth, then went to
Klondyke where he organized gold
mining firm, and was appointed U. S.
district attorney. In later years he
has devoted all his time to the iron
industry in this country having been

MWdA)mGtonL Letter
Bu " ODalev

Washington, February 17-Legisla-
tion of the utmost Importance to our
national life is now pending before
the Congress. Oddly enough, the
rank and file of citizens do not give
these economic and financial matters
the attention that is accorded an or
binary ball game. Only the more
thoughtful folks realize that in var
ious measures of unemployment re-
lief and liberalization of credit facil-
present and above all the early fu-
ture. The concern of sane thinkers
is directed at the country's prospects
in event current plans for general re-
covery fall short of the mark The
most promising aspect of the whole
situation, politically and economical
ly, is the tardy awakening of the
national legislators to the gravity of
the nations needs.
The bipartisan bill to expand credit
facilities will probably be enacted
into law within a few days. 1t would
be daring and foolhardy legislator
who would oppose any general agree
ment on the part of the Administra-
tion and the legislative branch es-
pecially designed to fortify banking
institutions against ever-increasing
failures. The various measures for
unemployment relief are obviously
Askov American., 1932-02-18

not preferred" legislation. There is
no doubt that relief bills have now
become a football of politics and
therein lies the danger to the dis
tressed groups of citizens. The Sen
ate, having disposed of one phase of
the unemployment controversy, must
await an adjustment with the House
of Representatives. These relief pro-
posals will have their flare-backs in
the primaries and elections. In
states where the present incumbents
are confronted with inter-party fights
for denomination the votes this week
will probably bring newcomers to the
next Congress in 1888.
The hubbub over the Presidential
nominees of both parties provokes
only casual interest among the men
and women who make their living in
the great game of politics. Nearly
four months ahead of the actual bal
loting, statements from candidates or
their friends are regarded as trial
balloons-sent up to determine the
drift of the wind. The anti-Hoover
Republicans plod along taking pot
shots at the President, knowing the
cards are stacked against them next
June. Alfred E. Smiths statement
has not cleared the haze over his
real intentions. Speaker Gamers

A. {. TOwnIey Says the Masses Must
Have Money to Buy That Which
They Have Produced.

A. G.. TOwnley, the we'll known pO-
litical organizer who became nation
ally known few years ago during
the days of the Nonpartisan League
in North Dakota, spoke before an en-
thusiastic audience in the banquet
hall of the Hotel Madison in Sand
stone Monday evening. The next day
he spoke at Willow River in the aft
ernOOn and Moose Lake in the eve
ming.
An able orator and one who knows
how to make a dry subject interest
ing, he commanded the rapt attention
of the audience throughout his two
hours of talking. He intermingled
his facts and figures on interest,
bonds, watered stock, and general gov
ernmental subjects with humOr and
now and then rubbed it in to the
masses, and he seems to have a knack
of knowing how to make his hearers
like it,
Mr.. Townley started out by saying
that the unemployment problem must
be solved. Seven million or more peo-
pie have lost the opportunity to make
a living and many others are working
only part time They have produced
plenty and so have the farmers.
There is plenty of food. fuel and
clothing. If the hungry could get
food they would put their hands on it,
and not stand in soup lines.
Centralized Wealth.
SiXty-five years ago there were no
milliOnaires in this country, said Mr.
TOwnley, and now there are many
thousands of them, some men being
even worth several billions of dollars
The percentage of people, however,
that own this great wealth is a very
small one. The surplus of food and
clothing has gone into the hands of
this small group who cannot use all
of it. The masses have not the money
to buy that which they have produced.
The surplus, or seeming surplus, is
what causes panic and there have
been II of those in the country. The
bigger the surplus the more factories
close and throw people out of en-
plOyment.
The Indians could not write their
names so they did not mortgage their
land. When the white people got pos
session of the land they became edu-
Gated and mortgaged it. Real estate
loans in the entire country now
amount to approximately $4,000, ,OO0,-
900. The public debt is $4,000, ,OO0,-
900 and added to this is corporation
and private debts, making total of
$160, 900, 100000 on which interest is
paid, amounting to $9,O00,0OO,OOO an
nually. This. said the speaker, places
us in the death grip of the money
