OLYMPIC VILLAGE TEEMiNG
WITH LIFE

Los Angeles, Calf, July IL
Olympic Village was teeming
with life and activity today as
the main body of 1000 world
athletes plunged into their final
period Of training. preparatory
to competing ia the Olympic
Games, July 80 to August IA.
inclusive.
With the flower of the athletic
world gathered ct the Village or
en- route to the Games, predic
ton was made by William NJ
Henry, sports technical director.
that at least two-thirds of the
existing Olympic track and (ield
records will be shattered during
the 1882 Oly mpic celebration.
AT Amsterdam. with q new
track. bad weather. and alto
gether too many entries, aud,
therefore. too many heats, thay
succeeded 10 breaking twelve
Oily mpic records and tying two
more. said Henry.
AT Los Angeles there will be
better athletes, better weather. a
seasoned track known to be fast
and much better competition, not
to mention the fact that the rul.
ing, which cuts the number of
entries from four to three in
each event, means fewer heats
and correspondingly tier
time."
Athletes on each Of the five
continents have broken the 100
meter mark of 10 6s., which was
first made in 1929, according to
Henry, who believes that not
only one. but several of the
athletes from "a countries enter
ed in the sprints will set a new
record.
The 200-meter mark 21 6,.,
made by Archie Hahn at ST.
Louis in 1904. and which is the
oldest record on the books. is
another believed almost certain
to 60 by the boards.
While the sprint races are the
most popular and have entries
from the most nations, other
track and field events also find
many countries represented
among the official entries.
Eighteen countries will be re-.
presented in the hop-step-and-
jump and the high jump. 16 in
the decathlon and no less than
% in the Olympic Marathon of
Is miles 385 yards. At least so
athletes are expected to start in
the Marathon 90 August z and
| the record of 2h 81. is another
| mark believed destined to be
| shattered.
Matt McGrath's great hammer
throw record of 17o it. 84 in. F.,
which be set in 1912 at Stock
! holm, is believed by Henry to be
one of the few marks with q
chance of standing up. The
hop step and-jump mark of 50
it. III in., Set by A. W. Winter
! Of Australia in 1924. is another
that will be hard to beat. 10 the

EXCURSION RATES
ARE ANNOUNCED BY
GREAT NORTHERN

The railways will launch another
offensive on the battlefront to regain
some of its lost passenger business on
May 6. The sector against which the
newest offensive will be directed is
the weekend business.
Beginning May the railways have
announced an excursion rate good
over any weekend in the territory
east of Montana, between any stations
where the regular one-way fare is not
more than $40. The new weekend
rate, according to A. G. DanielSOn,
Great Northern agent at Askov, will
be the regular one-way fare, plus 25
cents. Trips can be begun Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. The return
limit is midnight the following Tues
day. The excursion fares are first
class fares and good on any train.
The weekend rate is likely to be
permanent, Mr.. Danielson said. Prior
to the date this becomes effective,
however, the railways will experiment
with a similar rate covering a larger
territory and with a longer limit, and
in addition, a still lower rate that is
good in day coaches only, which will
be three-fifths of the usual one-way
fare, for the round trip. Both these
rates become effective April %, with
return limit May 2, and in the case
of the Great Northern apply between
all points east of Havre, Mont
Considering the excursion rate from
local angle it will mean that a pas
senger may purchase a ticket at
Askov, on the dates above mentioned,
to Minneapolis and return for So,
whereas the regular fare is 1854.
Other places in the county will be
priced according to the distance they
are from the Cities. An advertise
ment announcing the excursion will
be found in another column of this
issue.

OBITUARY
j. ID. Johnson.

John Durant Johnson was born in
Dahlsand, Sweden, Oct. 30, 1868.
He passed away on April 2, 1882, at
the age of 63 years, months and
3 days. His death was caused by a
cancerOus tumOr in the throat, a dis
ease which he had patiently suffered
for more than year. At the time of
his death he had lived approximately
40 years in Nickerson.
The funeral was held from the
Emanuel Lutheran church of Nicker-
son on Thursday, April Z, at 2 p. m.
DR.. p. A. Mattson of Minneapolis, and
the Rev. Chas. S. Rydell of Bruno,
conducted the services. The pallbear-
ers were John Edin, Peter Wiggen and
William Crosby of Nickerson, w. P.
Hogan and J. H. Hogan of Kerrick,
and Adolph Kress of st. Paul.
When he was 3 years old Mr.. John
son came with his parents to the
United States, settling on a farm near
Marine-On-the-St. Croix, Minnesota
At the early age of Is he left his
home to find employment in Still
water, and from that time on made
his own way through life.
In 1892, as young man, he came
to NickerSOn which was at that time
the busy center of a large timber re-
giOn. He worked in the woods and
in the mill for some time, and on
January 30, 1904, he was united in
marriage to Maude Nicholson of Fl.
Wayne, Ind.
For the past number of years Mr.
Johnson has owned and operated a
general store, but found time to take
a very active part in the affairs of
his community. He served on the
town board since the town was di-
vided in 1907, and on the school board
since the school district was divided
in 1908. In both of these offices he
was a very faithful servant, working
for the welfare of the town and the
school district.
He was loved by everybody who
came in contact with him, because of
his quiet and gentle disposition and
his willingness to give a hand to a
friend in need. He was good
church member, being very generous
in his contributions to the church.
Shortly before his death he donated a
plot of ground to be used for a ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Johnson was we'll known in Pine
county and in various parts of the

and working men-yes, all citizens
with average incomes-would not be
required to pay an income tax. Out
of revenue of nearly twenty-five mil
lion dollars in 1880, the farmers of
Wisconsin paid less than $15O,OOO. A
Minnesota farmer with an income big
enough to be required to pay an in
come tax would be lucky, and happy
no doubt, but under present condi-
tiOns, rare curiosity.
Minnesota has not been so badly
governed; it is possible that the Leg
islature is not so incompetent as some
pretend; in any event, we have trusted
the Legislature in most things per-
tanning to state affairs and we shall
have to do so in matters of taxation
whether we want to or not. There is
no other recourse.

at a much lower salary than he re-
ceived while engaged by these private
corporations. Incidentally, the farms
handled by him do not include any
'muskrat" farms.
Your statements and insinuatiOns
that he has ever flown an airplane
for the Bureau or for any state Of
fetal are absolutely false, as you read
lily could have discovered, had you
desired facts.
Your assertion that newspaper
man who had never sold a piece of
land in his life," is in charge of land
sales for the Bureau is equally false.

Mr.. Kent Holen, whom you have
personally known for the past eigh-
teen years, is in charge of this de-
partment. To your personal knowl-
edge he was in charge of the sales
division for one of the largest real
estate operators in Minnesota for more
than eight years, previous to the time
of his employment by the Rural
Credit Bureau.
AS your article seems to be a de-

increased the animosity toward me
which you so clearly express in your

Common decency should impel you
to retract your false assertions. 1t
is a matter of Indifference to me
whether or not you retract these as
sertions. However, out of sheer JUS
tice to these two employees, one of
whom is a World War veteran, and
whose regulations you have injured
by your falsehoods and innuendo,
ask you to retract your statements in
conformity with the truth. Beyond
this point, l am willing to leave judg-

as former chief executive of Mime

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page -

Continued from Page -
The practice of spending and paying
later will be stopped.
The usual harangue in the Senate
over tax legislation may be cut short
because of economic conditions. The
word has been passed down the line
that business recovery will be retarded
with the uncertainty as to the revenue
bill. The measures strike into every
phase of industry and commerce. The
constant threat has delayed plans of
industrial leaders for sales prices and
new projects are contingent upon
finances and tax rates. The hearings
before the Senate Finance Committee
will be concluded within two weeks
and bill brought out before May l..
Unless Congress wants to recess for
the conventions it will have just a
month to whip the Senate and House
tax bills into shape. One industry, in
particular, is awaiting the final draft
the automobile trade which faces
heavy tax imposts which must be
passed on to motorists.
A bitter fight is being waged in the
Senate Banking and Currency Com
mittee over financial policies and leg
islation. Certain Senators are stall
ling off Investigations into the Stock
Exchange fearing a collapse from
public misunderstanding of the tech
nicalities involved. The Glass bill to
invest the federal Reserve Board
with certain disciplinary powers and
strengthen it's supervision over gen.
eral credit conditions has struck an
other snag in committee. The big
boys" of the banking fraternity have
been camping in Washington fighting
features of the proposed measure.
The hearings have disclosed wide diff
ferences between Administration Of
fcials and the Senate. The bankers
having their own axes to grind have
not been entirely united in their OPP
position.
Business shares with official Wash
ingtOn the concern over what is ap-
parently concerted drive against
the dollar standard of currency.
French and English influences have
been endeavoring to throw this coun-
try off the gold standard for some
time. AS a consequence there is a
Senate resolution to authorize the
Tariff Commission to investigate for
eign currency and it's effect on in
voices as applied to imports.

As he was about to hand 1t to the
offending driver he took good look at
the man and then tore up the ticket
and waved him on. The driver was
none other than George Herman Ruth,
the Babe" of base ball. king of the
swatters, idol of the bleachers. the most
press-agented and one Of the highest
salaried performers in the game. He
was immune.
This sort of thing is destructive of
the morale Of motorists. The eXemp-
ton Of any person from the require
ments of traffic rules contributes to the
disorder in the streets and on the roads
and to the dangers of travel. If the
king can do no wrong" the COM
moner, setting himself up for the mo-
ment as a king in his own right, is
disposed to assume royal prerogatives.
Simply because man can bang base
ball farther than others makes him no
less dangerous when he drives his car
at fifty or sixty miles an hour on a
frequented highway than if he is a
chronic striker-out at the bat Nor
will his machine do any less damage
to another or to pedestrian in case
of collision. The safest rule, the one
that should be followed by traffic off,
GERS as well as by all others who have
the enforcement of regulations pertain
ing to the public welfare, is that which
was expressed by the Roman principle,
The King can do nothing except what
he can do oy law" The only kings on
the road should be the traffic police.

ter and clothing? What about the val.
ues which cannot be institutionalized?
In every section of the civilized world
great foundations have been established
in promotion Of organized charity, edu-
cation, art and science. But today, as
in the past. certain really important
needs are individual needs and certain
really important advances are made by
individuals.
The Rockefellers and those who fol-
low their example leave to philanthro-
pists Of smaller means the opportunity
to aid the exceptional people who do
not fit into their schemes of charity. To
these the story of Thomas Chatterton
may be commended. No foundation
helped that unhappy boy, no rich man
aided him. He died by his own hand,
and his fate has been bemoaned by
millions. There are Chattertons today.
Surely some one will care to assist
them. Mr.. Rockefeller says: These
smaller things are just as vital and
would yield perhaps warmer measure
of personal qualification"
The average man or woman, within
obvious limitations, can be as good and
generous a benefac.or as any Million
aire. No one need w:!t for the posses
sion of great wealth to begin to express
charitable instinct. The Rockefellers
have earned the worlds gratitude.
Humber folk may earn the appreci-
alton of less numerous, but not less
worthy, public.
