- HERE is a feeling that times and ideals
/1l change, that what valued and es-
~ teemed as art by one generation Is
~ tossed aside as of little worth by a Sue
ceeding generation. There are some
who even go far to declare that in the
whole history of art there is no continuing ira
ditiOn of beauty But this is not so. There are
certain things which. Thomas jefferson once
put it. generations have agreed to admire
works In architecture, sculpture and painting,
before which not only connoisseurs, but the
great public, have invariably stood with uncov-
cred heads Outstanding examples the
Parthenon and the greatest of the Gothic
cathedralS; in sculpture, the works of the Greek
sculptors of ancient time and of small group
of men of the italian Renaissance. In paint
ing. it is not necessary to name names or point
to specific examples. but it is interesting, par
ticularly at this time, to recall the fact that
the Christ Child and His mother as theme
has been for centuries and is still supremely
popular. Among all the acquisitions made by
art museums in the United States during the
year 1882 the one which perhaps created the
greatest interest and attracted most attention
was the purchase by the Cleveland Museum of
Art OF a painting of the Holy Family with st.
Margaret and St. john" by Filipino Lppi-
a supremely beautiful work. This knowledge
and understanding helps to stabilize ones con-
vict.on in the per1nanency of great art and its
~1ble tradition of beauty. Here, indeed. is q
Christmas message from the great artists of
the past.

There Is no doubt that less progress has been

AT the MOVIES
World War Veterans
Don Greasepaint

Back to the front line trenches
to re-live anew the scenes Of the
greatest war in history.
That was the experience of more
than 1000 World War veterans who
were engaged to appear in the latest
Laurel and Hardy feature length
comedy, Pack Up Your Troubles"
now playing at the Paramount thea
ter.
From all sections Of southern Cali
fornia, and through the agency of
the Central Casting Bureau in Holly
wood, veterans who actually partic-
ipated in the great conflict were
mustered into film action. Memories
revived, and gay banter prevailed
throughout the production.
In France, the veterans menu had
been corn willie. The war had been
grim, tragic, merciless In Holly
wood, the Hal Roach studios provid-
ed steaks and fried chicken from
field kitchens. Too, Laurel an d
Hardy made them see the war as a
wild, riotous farce.
AS the cameras ground out the &C.
ton, the comedians are seen as a
couple of misfit buck privates in the
awkward squad. Later, they scramble
across the front lines to rescue a pal,
and they come back not only with
their pal, but also with trainload
! of prisoners. The unique method in
which the prisoners are captured is
declared to be one Of the most laugh
able sequences in the picture.

WELCOME OPINIONS!

Editors Note The Askov American
welcomes the many letters from read
ers of the paper. Exchange of opin-
ions is healthy and something should
be learned through such intercourse.
Some of the opinions, however, have
been rather lengthy; they could have
been shortened considerably and
yet told the same story. Some daily
newspapers limit the opinions of read
ers to $50 words and others allow 300.
On weekly newspaper where there
are not so many letters it does not
have to be limited so strictly, but it
would be well if the letters were held
within 500 words, which is about half
a column Most of those who write,
like to see their letter in the first is
sue published after sending it in and
chances for that are better when the
copy, double spaced, is always pre-
ferred but if written long hand, be
sure to write legibly and on one side
of the paper only. This may sound
like we are rather particular about
copy, but put yourselves in our places,
handling 35 to 40 columns of copy
each week and you would appreciate
good copy. Furthermore, in we'll pre-
pared copy there is less chance for
errors. AS above stated, these letters
are appreciated, and it is we'll that
many take part in the discussion.

4 CITY OUT OF DEBT

An editorial in the Duluth Her
aid recently about the we'll man
aged little city of Marquette,
Mich, was naturally pleasing to
Sandstone's new resident and
business man, Gustaf A. Larson,
for Marquette was his old home
town before living in Duluth. Mr..
Larson states that Marquette has
its own municipal power plant,
and that current is sold to the
citizens at very low rate. The
Herald editorial follows:
The financial troubles of many
cities, large and small, has
brought into striking relief some we'll
managed communities that are not
harassed by debts and that still can
hear the pleasant jingle of cash in
their municipal pockets. Milwaukee,
standing alongside graft-ridden and
almost pauperized Chicago, is among
the most conspicuous examples OF
good municipal government among the
larger cities, but there are some small
Ter ones that also deserve attention.
One of them is Marquette, thrifty
little Upper Michigan city of about
fifteen thousand people.
For years Marquette has been gov
erned by officials who believed that
cities as well as men must live with
in their incomes if they would escape
trouble. The result has been a rea-
sonable tax rate, few bond issues,
prompt payment of obligations, money
in the treasury, and no debts.
Nor has this been accomplished at
the expense of necessary or desirable
public improvements. The Mining
Journal of that city, in discussing the
praisewOrthy position of municipal
finances at the beginning of the new
year, says that the record of public
works is a good one and ranks well
with other cities of its class; and, still
better, it has all been paid for.
Cities that have kept their heads
and escaped the wild orgy of publ C
spending that is now causing distress
and humiliation. have won the respect
and acclaim of the country, and The
Herald takes pleasure in calling at
tention to Marquette's fine record.

A LOVED CUSTOM

1t is amusing to note how many peO-
pie keep the time worn superstition,
by being anxious as to the 'dOings''
of the lowly grounding on Feb. 2.
which day has been popularity called
GrOundhog's day from the custom of
the early settlers of our country. AL
though mother nature and the world
turning on the axis will take care of
our weather likes or dislikes, it is
nevertheless evident that many do
take wee stock in the legend handed
down that if that animal sees his
shadow, or in other words if the sun
shines on Grounding day there is
certain to be six weeks more of win
ter weather.
So far as the six weeks are con-
cerned in the northern sections of the
United States it doesn't matter wheth-
er the grounding sees his shadow or
not because the middle of March is a
Winter has put away his stock of
chilly blasts for the season anyway.
There is something about these
special days which strikes respon-
sive chord in our hearts and invites
our acquiesence and that is the fact
that st. Patrick's day, Halloween.
Groundhogs day, and other similar
days bring back to us the romantic
and interesting festivals and social
times our ancestors had together and
that it shows we still have reverence
for those loved ones even though we
have progressed long step from the
age in which they lived.
May Grounding days continue to
come with overhanging clouds in the
minds of coming generations to mold
the weather to their liking.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
EDITOR ASkOv American:

Editor ASkOV American.
The law of cause and effect stands
just as sound as the law of gravita-
ton; the abuse of privileges is the
cause of stringent laws being enacted;
that is cause and effect.
Take first the liquor law. During
the existence of the saloons, in many
places, it was a penalty to ask a per-
son to step up to a bar and you buy
him a drink of Intoxicating liquor.
Bartenders were forbidden to allow
minors to loiter or loaf about sa-
loon, and selling liquor to any one
that got drunk more than two times
in twelve months was a penalty as
the man was an habitual drunkard.
Also in nearly all places they had
strict orders to close at twelve o'clock
Saturday night and remain closed
until a. m. Monday. These laws
and many others were continuously
violated, which eventually was the

North Zone (as they call it) have
same time for fishing as South Zone?
They. by living in South Zone get
about 10 days Gf I'm not wrong)
longer fishing than the North Zone.
OF course if we are able to go to the
South Zone we can also fish there,
but some can't go that far, and an
other thing Is we have fish in our
own zone. If the season was opened
for same fish at same time in both
zones instead of us fellows up North

not have to throw our crappies and
bass back when we get them ahead

fore season and just thrown back to
die and float ashore and make a bad
smell, because the one that caught
them was afraid to go to shore and
be caught by the game warden.
AS far as game wardens | know
several of them and they are doing
their duty and are very nice fellows.
Although in the last years | have
only seen one game warden while
was fishing and that time had a nice
talk but only had one fish. Last win
ter | came in contact with at least
200 fishermen and they were all for
opening the season same time in
North Zone as it is in South Zone.
How about some more of you sports?
We pay our license as much as they
do in South Zone why not have as

one will tell you what damage those
muskies and pickerel are doing to
the rest of our fish).

in Minnesota but one good thing the

if you are lucky to get one it may
not spoil on you before you get it out
of the woods.
Would like to hear some more opin-
ions now as fishing is done for awhile
you'll have time to write what you
would like for laws. Maybe if enough
go to it we will get what is more
reasonable. Yours for changed fish

AGAINST ONE BUCK LAW
Editor ASkOv American:


Having read many interesting
pieces in your paper. especially, under
Opinions of Others may say few
words about protecting game?
notice a sketch in the American of
Jan. 2Sth from (Grand Rapids. MIMI,
Herald-Review) stating that Mime
sofa will probably adopt the one buck
law at the next session of the legisla-
ture and that when the one buck law
goes into affect in Minnesota there
will be hunting every year, and so
many deer that we will not know
opinion this is another fool law, and
about as wish as the planting of trout
in Kettle river. | have lived in the
woods and hunted every open season
for % years and have hunted with all
kinds of hunters in Pine, ST. Louis,
and Carlton counties, so | know just
what the average hunter will do. He
has only a few days to hunt, and to
get his deer even if it takes silver
bullets. But if he sees deer he will
shoot it, then he looks to see if it is
buck or doe.
Now, if it is a doe it can stay there.
and he goes after another one. Some
times he kills two or three before
he gets buck to put his license on
and take out. And | am sure the one
buck law has never protected any
deer anywhere. 1t is all good and
well to protect game, especially in
breeding season, but what good is a
law that is not, and cannot be carried
out? 1t is in my opinion something
like the prohibition law, it looks bet
ter on paper than it really is.
also am in favor of a longer
hunting season, and that it should
start about December 1st. when it
would be more fit for hunting in
swamps and low land. Also, there's so
many men shot during hunting sea-
son. Now if men were careful enough
not to shoot at a moving brush, or
cracking sound, but wait until they
can see the deer plainly it would be

o. X. but if they don't do that how
are they going to tell the difference
between a buck and a doe?
l notice the piece in the American
of Jan. 2Sth by d. l.. Pearson. Well,
friend or no friend of game wardens,
his opinions differ very much from
mine, yet l am not foreigner from
Russia. l was born and raised in
this same state of Minnesota, and
feel that | should at least protect my
own home. How am | to do so if | were
to let a game warden go through
every thing about the place in search
ing for venisOn without a search war
rant? According to the United States
Constitution a game warden has no
such right. OF course there's lots of
difference in game wardens, but most
Of them go just a little too far and
Mr.. Pearson is lucky not to have been
convicted of any game violations, for
it is easily done. | know 2 man who
was convicted for having game in his
possession after season, this was a
partridge the cat had brought up to
his house.
And as for damage done by wild
game, | wish to say that l have seen
many acres of rutabagas completely
ruined by deer not only tops but the
rutabagas were eaten off all over the
field so badly that they were not mar
ketable. And in all my hunting |
never yet have seen a sportsman from
the city come to hunt with a gun that
wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn,
nor have | heard of a manufacturer
who puts out such a gun, and we all
know these spOrtsmen come with new
guns.
Yours for better game laws to the
settlers.
