Miss Helga Wogensen, a student at
the university, Minneapolis, and Mr..
Nygaard, an instructor there, were
here Sunday of last week for a visit
at the home of the formers sister.
Mrs. L. Byron Olsen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Andersen and
son, Axel, were in Minneapolis from
Saturday till Monday for visit with
relatives, going down particularly to
be present at the silver wedding cele-
bration of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Hansen,
Sunday.
N. P. Nielsen, living six miles
northwest of the village on the for
mer Holger Buck farm, was stricken
with a cerebral hemorrhage last
Thursday night. His condition has
shown some Improvement during the
past few days.
The Rev. A. E. Frost and Thorvald
Jacobsen left Sunday afternoon for
West Denmark, Wis, where the for
mer preached that evening. Monday
they continued to Withee for a little
visit with relatives and friends and
Miss Vivian MacAdams was called
to Schenectady, N. Y, last Thurs
day on account of the serious illness
of her friend, Royal Hoefler, whose
death is reported elsewhere in this
issue. Miss MacAdams made the trip
to the eastern city in company with
Ray Hoeffler from Ely, via the air
route. During Miss MacAdam's alb
sence Miss Melba Wiley from Pine
City, is officiating for her in the local
high school.
Upon request from the D. B. S. COM
mittee, the Danish Sisterhood at their
meeting yesterday named two COM
mittees to help the brothers with the
big celebration June II and II. Five
members, namely Mrs. V. Heininge,
Mrs. Lars P. Jensen, Mrs. L. A. Paul
sen, Mrs. Jens Abrahamsen, and Mrs.
o. r. Keller were selected to have
charge of the banquet Saturday eve
ming, June II. and the other commit
tee consisting of Mrs. Svend Petersen,
Mrs. George c. Jensen, Mrs. Chris
Hansen, and Mrs. Chr. Hyldahl will
officiate in the park on Sunday, the
18th. The appointing of these does
not mean that they must or will do
all the work, for that would be i'm
possible. The committee for the BAN
quet, particularly, will need lot of
extra help and they hope that all who
later are asked to help will do so
cheerfully.

people, it is the example the parents
set.
1t isn't the young people that make
80 per cent of the movies unfit for
childish eyes; it wasn't the young
people that brought the disgusting
jazz music from the Orient, nor is it
the young people and children that
make the magazines and books on
many news stands today of an OBJ
scene nature. 1t is the adult and in
this light the speaker said we all
break laws. No law is better than
another. They should all be abided
by or should be repealed.
Parents have nothing to worry about
in the younger generation, the speak
er said, and continued by saying that
it would be his method to tear down
all the signs, mo Minors Allowed
from pool halls and make them a fit
place to take the boy for clean health
full recreation, saying that a place
not fit for II year old lad is not fit
for 40 year old dad.
Mr.. Reasoner spoke at length on
the children in school stating that it
was not always the grades that a
pupil received in school, it many
times was the faith they received
from adults. Several examples were
cited in this instance to show that
some of the slowest and most disap-
pointing in school overcame the han
dicap because of the faith that some
one showed in them.
The program rendered by Mr..
Reasoner and Mr.. Accola was in every
respect superior to the recommends
tions they had received when the en-
gagement for their appearance here

the primary and will not waste their
efforts in making a fight to capture
Republican nominations. Progressiv-
ism in Minnesota has vehicle of its
own-the Farmer-Labor party and
doesn't need the livery of the dis
credited G. o. P. to bring success at
the polls.
Van Dyke to Oppose Regan.
There seems also to be continual
trouble in the Democratic party. The
jumpers, headed by Representative
John E. Regain Of Mankato, have en-
tered with a slate and the regulars,
a few days ago, endorsed DR.. A. A.
Van Dyke of st. Paul, for governor
with full slate of candidates for the
primary.
Mr.. Regan is an able campaigner
and is going to be no easy man to
defeat for the nomination. While he
is openly unfriendly to any fusion
scheme between the Democrats and
Farmer-Laborites, he is by no means
personally antagonistic to Governor
Olson. DR.. Van Dyke, on the other
hand, harbors a grudge against the
governor on account of his failure to
land a place on the conservation COM
mission. That is probably in the
main why he consented to enter the
race. AS the situation now stands
Regain will likely win the governor
ship nomination on the Democratic
ticket.
Want ArenS in Congress-.
The Third district convention of the
FarmerLabor party held at Jordan
last Saturday afternoon virtually de-
Henry Arens as a candidate for con-
gress. A committee was named by
the convention to confer with Cover
nor Floyd B. Olson and the state eX-
ecutive board in an attempt to secure
the release of Mr.. Arens from the
lieutenant governorship endorsement
given him on March 80 by the Farm
erLabor state convention.
Mr. Arens, when interviewed re-
garding the matter, said he is taking
no hand in the matter but will abide
by the wishes of the Farmer-Labor
organization. 81 would prefer to run
for congress-" he said, "but have not
by any means decided to do that in
asmuch as l respect the endorsement
given me by the convention and took
no part in bringing about the action of
the Third district convention last
Saturday"
No doubt a meeting of the state ex-
ecutive board of the Farmer-Labor
Association will be held in a few
days at which a successor to Mr..
Arens for the lieutenant governor
ship will be chosen in case the lat
ter files for congress.
c. F. Gaarenstrom, chairman of the
Rural Credit Board, has been urged
to become a candidate for congress
by Locals 271 and 272 of the Farmers
Union in Martin county. Mr.. Gaaren-
strom was formerly county attorney
in Martin county.

BUY FROM HOME FOLKS

We thought that we knew all the
approaches possible for maya
zine agent to make in contracting
prospects but it remained for one
Roy Oxman this week to show us
a new one.
Oxman's first step was to tell
us he came in to bring us a gift
and forthwith presented us with an
attractive looking little cook book.
His next step was to solicit our
vote for him saying that the Delin-
Gator Magazine would give him a
scholarship to Alaska College if he
could secure 410 votes. He en-
phatically stated that he was not a
magazine subscription agent, but
that he was engaged in helping his
company put over an advertising
scheme to promote the sale of But
terick patterns through free distri-
button of the Delineator. All that
the company asked was tx cents
per month toward postage on the
The Wrangell sentinel., 1932-05-27

magazine. He ended his talk by
asking, Now will you vote for me?"
After the prospect obligingly said
she would, she was shown the dotted
line to sign. AS she took the precau-
ton to read what she was signing
she found that she was agreeing to
pay $2.75 for a three-years' sub
scription to the Delineator, paying
the agent his dollar commission
then and there, and the remainder
to the company later with no men,
ton of vote.
After the Sentinel prospect balk-
ed at paying $2.75 for the privilege
of voting" for a stranger, Oxman
reached over and firmly appropri-
ated the gift from the Butterick
company.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1932-05-27

is as far as he can go. The issue
rests squarely with the individual
solicited, who should weigh sales
talk for what it is worth.
While it is the privilege of each
one of us to spend our money as We
please, it is certainly to our advan-
tage to keep our money working in
Wrangell There isn't such sur
plus in the. community that we can
afford to turn over our dollars to
strangers for use in other COM
munities, when we can buy the
same commodity at the same price
from a Wrangell resident.
We have the reputation of being
an easy" town for agents from the
states. Let's buy from home folks
and make this a difficult town for
agents who are strangers to US.

EVERY KNOCK is a kNuUn

A good many talIacles manage TO
get lnto auage form and are passeu
uoWn through the years as CesCeu
and approved truths. One OF the
most famous of these was proDaDly
said in spirit OF satire, Dut has
come to us as a proverD: Every
knock is a boost"
Every knock is not a boost
Every knock is a knock, and they
ali hurt. Many a good man has
been RELOCATED to obscurity through
the continual knocking OF his Jeal-
Gus contemporaries. This is true
of statesmen, politicians and the
men in the less eminent protes-
sions. He is indeed clever oodger
who can manage to escape with a
whole skin when the anvil chorus
starts in earnest. Ask the man who
has been knocked for years by the
people in his own organization. He
can a tale unfold.
Another grand old fraud in the
way of. a slogan is; Sticks and
stones may break your bones, but
lies will never hurt you" 1t
sounds wonderful, but don't de-
pend on it. 1t doesn't mean any
thing.
AS a matter of fact, lies do hurt
you, and they grow and grow and
become more virulent because the
person lied about is usually the
last one to hear about it and has nc
chance to chase these fabrications
to earth and nail them.
The public is more prone to ac-
cept a plausibly told lie than an
absolute truth. A lie is dangerous
and dangerous chiefly to the vic
tim.
And every knock is a knock
and nothing else. Put pin in that
one, because it is the truth.-Ex.

which taps were sounded. The
procession then marched to the
Rink where Memorial services were
held. Between four and five hun
bred persons were packed in the
hall.
F. H. Gray, chairman during the
services made a short patriotic
speech. Touching the flag Mr.
Gray said: "A democracy like ours
is founded on the assumption that
every man in it who profits by its
protection will be glad to be ready
agent for it's defense. We love the
| flag because it is a symbol of lib
erty and We reverence the flag for
all it has cost. We are all familiar
with the quotation, The flag that
does not protect its protectors is a
dirty rag that contaminates the air
in which it floats, And l say that
| il there are any people in this
country today who are not ready to
protect the flag that has protected
them, they are dirty lot too loath-
some to be respected" Rev. H. P.
| Corser followed with strong ad-
dress.
In the evening a voyage was
made to the cemetery where the
graves of soldiers were decorated
by a procession of little girls with
baskets of flowers and Boy Scouts
acting as guards.

very generously furnished for the
occasion the cannery boat Halcyon
with scow in tow. Mr.. Barnes had
fitted up the scow with benches
Capt. S. C. Darlington kindly fur

Earlier in the day on receiving
complaints of Oxman's activities,
| City Magistrate L. B. Chisholm had
hailed the young man to the city
hall for questioning. Until then
Oxman had been notifying pros
poets that Butterick patterns could
now be obtained at Campbell Bros.
and on that statement several wom-
en- had given him vote"
Campbell Bros. carry groceries,
ship chandlery and supplies for
men, particularly those engaged in
out-of-door pursuits. If there should
arise a demand for patterns from
fishermen and loggers the store
would undoubtedly carry a stock of
dress patterns. In any event the
firm protests having it's name used
| falsely in any sort of sales promo
ton and the pattern promoter was
given a sharp warning from Judge
| Chisholm that he must stop such
misrepresentation at once.
At the city hall Oxman claimed
residence in Seattle, but a desire to
attend Alaska College; by the time
he reached the Sentinel office in the
afternoon, his residence had chang
ed to Fairbanks where he said his
parents lived He also stated that
he had been a mining student at
Alaska College for the past three
years, with the exception of a short
period during the 1892 school
| Go in
ing listed as a student in the col
lege catalog just off the press.
Oman is not so different from
many of the agents visiting AL
aska. His approach was newer and
his confusion of fact and fancy was
more serious because he used bus
mess firm to further sales on mis-
representation. Nevertheless, he
made excellent money in Wrangell.
And this despite the fact that
Wrangell has a local business firm
which handles magazine subscrip-
| tions as well as an old pioneer from
the days of '9S whose income is
derived almost entirely from the
commissions he makes on magazine
subscriptions.
Had this Wrangell resident can
vassed the town with the PROPOSE
ton of a three-years' subscription
to dollar a year magazine at the
price of $2.75, which thereby eff
fected a saving of 25 cents, few of
us would have listened to him al
though each of the dollar commits
sions on such orders would have
been spent in Wrangell. Had the
stranger this week confined him
self to a straight presentation of
his proposition, his sales would
have been very much smaller.

mended that he acts promptly to
check Misrepresentation, but that

Not content with this musical
jibe. the organist, who seemed a
little uncertain of his geography
and addressed the gathering Repub-

the largest in the world, can unloose
a volume equal to two thousand

Proud Chicagoans say its vibra-
tons at full volume would shatter

Senator Dickinson of Iowa ar
rived thirty minutes in advance,
smiling and apparently unterrif1ed
by the task he was about to under
take.
Bingham Ready to Fight
He wore a special gold badge, a
handsome souvenir for his grand
children. Photographers hustled him
before the microphones out on the
speakers tongue and photographed
him.
Senator Dickinson paused in his
posing and leaned down to this
correspondent and pointing his
finger said with a laugh:
Nov, write a nice story. Don't
put in any dirty stuff"
He wore dark blue coat, gray
trousers, a dark necktie of strictly
orthodox Iowa pattern and a non
willing collar.
Senator Hiram Bingham, known
as the tall sycamore of Connecticut,
son of an American missionary,
born in Hawaii, married into the
millions of the Tiffany jewelry FAM
lily, father of seven tall sons, ar
rived early to view the scene of his
prospective battle ground.
He is the new champion Of the
outright repeal forces, and will lead
their charge on the convention
floor. Senator Bingham recently
clashed with the idol of the drys,
Senator Borah in flashing senate
debate which brought him cheers
from the gallery.
"They apparently are going to
bring in a resubmiSsion plank, !"
Bingham said, ''but if they do I am
ready to fight it to the end"
Largest Convention Hall
This is the largest hall in which
a national convention was ever held,
it was said, and arrangements have
exceeded anything in the past in
elaborate detail.
Hundreds of telegraph wires al
ready were clicking off the conven-
ton preliminaries before the open
ing gavel fell.
Beneath the platform, the big
radio companies had had elaborate
stalls established and equipped with
microphones, comfortable chairs,
electric fans, all the comforts of a
studio
Back aboYe the platform were
broadcaSters sitting behind glass
kindows in small notwithstanding
from the floor below, all the world
like a group of marionette shows.
AS veterans of many conventions
sat idly in their seats, moved to rev.
erie by soft organ music, ghosts of
the past no doubt slipped across
their thoughts.
Noted Figures Missing
Only twelve years ago in this same
city a Republican national conven-
ton met. It's big figures-Warren
Harding, Major General Leonard
Wood, senator Hiram johnson, AL
bert B. Fall. Harry M. Daugherty,
Senator Borah-all are absent, some
forever.

took that famous strife-torn con-
vention and lasheed it down for one

of their senate golfing buddies, a
sweet, lovable but not so very known
figure-they were absent, too, most
of them held in Washington, the
legislative jam.
The conventions of this genera
ton except this one have all had
as important performers, Senator
James E. Watson of Indiana, George
Moses of New Hampshire, David A.
Reed Of Pennsylvania, Reed Smoot
of Utah and their former colleague,
Vice-President Curtis, who sits now
in Washington, uncertain whether
this convention will rename him.
A few moments before the gavel
fell, President Hoover's only oppon-
ent for the presidential nomination,
Governor France of Maryland
wandered in alone.
France Is Bewildered
He looked about in rather be-
wildered way. Finally, he mounted
the platform wearing button adj
vocating prohibition repeal.
He claims more than 200 conven-
ton votes, but only a handful from
Oregon have been instructed for
him, and that because Mr.. Hoover
neglected to file in the primary.
