 As illustrative Of conditions in certain sections of the country Dr Wilbur quoted the following from the report on the Vermont sur' vey;
 "The common belief that the poor receive necessary medical care is not supported by the sur. voy, in spite of the extenBi3e pro. vision of free services by physi. clans, and in spite of expenditures for indigent persons by towns. The group which suffers most is com. posed of people with small re. sources who desperately attempt to maintain financial independence.

pies Societies) to have their annual
convention at Askov this summer,
July 2, 3, and 4th. The Housing
Committee" has sent cards to those in
the community whom they thought
might be interested in taking in some
visitors. If you do not receive a card
within a few days and have room for
a few visitors, the committee would
appreciate very much if you would
drop them a line answering the fol-
lowing questions: How many guests
can you take care Of? Men! Women!
Family of how many! Are there any
one you know or expect to be here
that you should like to have, let us
know and we will try to arrange to
have them stay with you We are
expecting many visitors as there are
two holidays in succession, Sunday
and Monday and Saturday afternoon
is generally a half holiday for those
in the cities, so we will most likely
need all the room we can get.
We should like to have the whole
community cooperate with us and

Depression Both Financial
and Moral, Says Ag Head
Continued from Page y

Mr.. Christianson. When agriculture
was not given a square deal in the
days of the Hebrews the consequences
had to be met with. the same held
true in the days of the Assyrians, the
Egyptians, Chinese, Greek, and the
Romans. Henry Wallace, former Sec
rotary of agriculture, said ten years
ago that inside of twenty years it
would be decided in this country If
the farmers were to have equality
with industry or be reduced to serfs.
Ten years have passed since that pre-
diction.
The speaker said that 100 years
before Christ the Chinese had the
McNary-Haugen bill-not by that
name, nor legislation-but in the form
of an edict by the dynasty. Farmers
were to be paid cost of production, the
rulers approaching the value of keep
ing the basic industry in good cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Christensen emphasized the
need of agricultural education, not
only to train leaders but to train good
followers on the farms. He said that
in the past many have thought there
should be much training for business
and the professions but little school
ing was needed on the farm, and high
financial positions, governmental posi-
tiOns and such have been held out as
outstanding to the child. He would
hold out as examples and laud the
work of such an invention as the
BabcOck test in Wisconsin, the
achievements of rural life, the strug-
giles of the pioneers, so that the boy
and girl would be proud of the farm.
Often the rural boy is disallusioned
after time spent in the big cities
where he went to find the gold at the
end of the rainbow.
Proper Sense of Values.
One of the most important things
is to give a proper sense of values,
said the speaker, not to say that all
is we'll, nor that all is wrong. Eighty
six per cent of the people are getting
less than $4,000 gross income annual
ly, while only IA per cent earn above
that. The young folks should know
that the average is not so high. By
defending what you feel is right in
dependence is developed. The old pio-
neer may not have known all the So
cial forms but he had definite 'yes"
or no." folks knew where he stood,
said the speaker.
Mr.. Christensen gave some facts
orIi hn hol ckrih 81
wealth in which he stated that two
per cent of the people own 60 per
cent of the wealth and that in 1929
there were SO individuals in the
United States who had net incomes
Of $5,000,000 each that year. The
value of the average farm in Mime
sofa was $1S,496 in 1920 and this had
decreased to 81, 900 in 1880.

lage Succumbs Friday; Buried
Monday.

The NJ P. Nielsen home north Of
Askov was saddened in death early
Friday morning when Mr.. Nielsen sue
cumbed to the ravages of cerebral
hemorrhage and paralysis which came
upon him only a few days before.
Niels Peter Nielsen was born in
Ringsted, Denmark, August %, 1867,
and married Miss Anna Sophie Jen-
sen in 1892. Six children were born
to this union and four live to sur

gether with his two sons, Harold and
Svend, have operated the farm To-
Gated six miles northwest of the vii
lage.
The family since it's residence here
has taken it's place efficiently in the
community and Mr.. Nielsen, until his
health had become somewhat i'm
paired during recent months, could
be seen occasionally on the streets of
Askov coming in with the car to bring
cream to the local cooperative cream
cry. Although his stay here has been
short, he had made many friends.
In 1926 Mr.. Nielsen made trip to
Denmark to spend three months with
three sisters who survive him there.
He is also survived by his widow, two
sons, Harold and Svend at home, and
two daughters, Mrs. Arthur Clifford
and Mrs. Erwin Anderson, both of
Minneapolis, all of whom attended the
funeral.

church in Askov with the Rev. A. E.
Frost officiating. Burial was made
in the Askov cemetery with Andrew
j. Larsen, Hans C. Hansen, George C.
Jensen, A. P. Jensen, Rasmus John
sen and James ]. Krogh acting as
pallbearers. Friends join in extend

and Mrs. Ed Satterberg of Minneapo-
lis; and Mr.. and Mrs. N. P. Jensen,

to Nashville to participate in one Of
the fiercest battles of the Civil war.
The Seventh Minnesota was organized
in August 1862, the men leaving their
harvest work to join. There were 91S
men at first with 217 recruits added
later to bring the strength of the
regiment up to 1875 enlisted men. AL
though serving through the war the
regiment lost but 10 men, killed in
battle, and 1875 died of wounds and
disease. Mr.. Greig was honorably
discharged from the service on
August 16, 1865. He was a faithful
soldier and during his entire life in
terested in soldiers welfare, serving
as the last post commander of his unit
of the G. A. r. AS long as he was
able Mr.. Greig saw to it that each
soldier of the Civil war received JUS
tice while he lived and due respect at
death by arranging for military hon
ors at the grave.
On December %, 1868. he married
Helen G. Lockwood and they enjoyed
over So years of married life. They
were married at oxford, Mich, and in
1872 moved to Sibley county, Mime
sofa, coming to Pine county in 1895,
where they have since made their
home, except for a short time while
Mr.. Greig held a government position
at Taylors Falls.
Mr.. Greig is survived by his wife
and three children, Major Greig, Mrs.
Levi Ardner, and Sheridan Greig, all
of whom live in Pine county. Two
sons, William and Clair, preceded

in 1929 was the most iniQuitOus law
ever put on the statute books of Amer
lea, said the speaker, emphasizing
that he was not speaking from a po-
litical standpoint but simply on eco
nomic and humanitarian grounds.
Following the World war other coun-
tries owed America $4,000, 200, 900
government and private loans. There
are three ways of paying such debts,
he said, in gold, goods, or shipping
service, but there is not enough gold
to even pay the interest on this huge
sum for one year. France and Amer
lea have the bulk of the gold. The
Hawley-Smoot law shut the foreign
countries off from selling goods to us
and the result was that &c countries
passed retaliatory tariff laws within
nine months. They can not buy from
us if they cannot sell.
No OverprOductiOn.
The two greatest economic prob
lens are production and distribution.
said the speaker. The production of
the American farms was less per
capita last year than in 1926 and
there was never an OverproductiOn of
food the world over. AS long as there
is hunger there is no overproduction.
World policies are important with eco
Monies, and war and peace affect all
The World war was an economic war,
said the speaker, and now, Is years
after that conflagration, Europe has
so per cent more men in arms than
before the war. War leads to poverty
and starvation. Reading the Con-
gressional Record, Mr.. Christensen
said that he noted a federal appro-
priation of 100000 to send delegates
to the Geneva peace conference, we'll
and good, but a few pages farther on
he noted that bill had been intro
duced for billion dollar navy. His
comment was consistency thou art
jewel"
Going on the speaker said that of
every dollar of federal appropriation
20 cents goes for militarism. War
brings sorrow and it brought death
to 46,000,000 people in the World war.

made and man must change it. The
Scandinavian countries have shown
the way to avoid it by eliminating

Taxes on Ability to Pay.
Mr. Christianson also dwelt briefly
on taxes, stating that there must be
more equalization of the tax burden,
the assessment must be more on the
ability to pay as the income tax.
Property which produces less than
half the income pays much more than
half the taxes and this system must
be changed.
The speaker quoted Theodore
Roosevelt: Fear God and take your
own part He said the fundamental
things have not changed much. We
must have honesty, militant loyalty,
aggressiveness, law observance, and
the finer things of life with less sham
and hypocrisy. The one common in
