Here's a set of twins to join

ASKOV HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES

Monday. May 2, DR.. Callahan from
the Pokegama Sanatorium gave the
Mantoux test to the pupils wishing
to take it. He returned the follow
ing Wednesday to give another in
lection, ten times stronger than the
first, to those who had shown a mega
tive reaction. Nine students showed
positive reaction; there is no rea-
son to be alarmed at this as it is no
sign that this person is inflicted with
the disease; it merely shows that the
germs are or have been present. This
is surprisingly low percentage, DR..
Callahan stated. He also said that
in colleges and universities the per-
centage is usually very high. since
in those cases there are many sources
of exposure. The purpose of the
MantouX test is to detect this fatal
disease in the very beginning, before
it has made any notable progress.
The people showing a positive reac-
ton will be given an X-ray at Pokeg-
anna to discover whether or not the
germ has a foothold in the body. 1t
is really better to react positively
than negatively and then not find any
infliction because this shows that the
germ is present and that the body
is building up resistance to work
against it. But the negative reacting
person is sitting on the fence, as no
one knows how his body will respond
if the germ should enter.
The Askov boys journeyed to Clo-
verton Monday for a kittenball game.
The stubbornly contested game ended
in favor of Cloverton with a score of
8 to Z. A return game with Cloverton
will be played here Wednesday, May
II, at four o'clock. A game is sched-
uled with Bruno, there, next Monday.
Askov has to win all of its remaining
games to enter the Pine County Play
Day Kittenball tournament to deter
mine the champion of the league.
The two teams with the highest per-
centage of games won will take part.

speeches are like cypress trees, large
and lofty, but without fruit" Long
has returned to his home state where
he is better understood and appreci-
ated.
1t has cropped out that Congress
has its axe out for what is called
"the Hoover fife and drum corps" or
the Little Cabinet. These men, as
sistant secretaries of departments,
have been making speeches on behalf
of the President and lambasting Con-
gress. Then they have the courage
to plead with the legislators for in
creased appropriations for divisions
and bureaus under their direction.
Congress can take its revenge at the
purse-strings.

Emma Goldman Speaks.
Recently Emma Goldman, Russian

from the United States some years
ago. has made two lecture appear

she spoke in Oslo, Norway, where she

Miss Goldman would not be permitted
to speak in the United States, no
authorities interfered with her state

adds: Here in Norway we are very
