Maybe things were different over

MI. Townsend was feeling bet

ing in with his car, or when he left
Twilands, as he frequently did.

aside for him in the Sixty-third

1t was early morning and she had
just come in from a canter in the
park.

went on gently, You expected him,

He thought you might like to
have lunch with him. Shall I say
you'll be waiting at one?"
Certainly" Mona replied auto
matically.
The girl tossed off her riding coat
and, sitting down, began to tumble
with her boots. Are we lunching
here?' she asked composedly.
Il think he intends taking you
out somewhere. Mr.. Townsend has
been out very little. They feel it
would do him good to see people

"Of course" Mona agreed.
TT was 10 o'clock then and the
Il French instructor who arrived

hour.
After that her hair was waved by
Celeste, the maid, adept in such
arts, and her nails were manicured
perfectly.
Mona chose a tan suit and sable
fur with a snug, nondescript little
hat of brown to go with it. She
rare wore the emerald ring, but to-
day she took it from its hiding place
and slipped it on her left hand.
The car had been ordered for

"Out in front of the door you will
find a poor, hungry, shivering ant.
Turn out the dogs and chase him
away"
Hes breaking my heart!"
Which brings us down to the fol-
lowing: The legislature passed q
pari-mutuel licensing bill which
would have legalized horse and dog
racing in this fable. (The merits
or dement's of the bill have no
place in this fable.)
But Bert Fuller, who managed
the campaign of Governor Leslie,
is known to have been interested
in its passage.
III and without a business, Bert
saw in it a chance to recoup. So,
they tell me, he got an option on
the abandoned dog track near the
city, and when the pari-mutuel bill
passed prepared to open up.
He then learned that Leslie was
prepared either to veto or pocket the
measure and had told Representa-
tive Herbert P. Kennedy that if the
bill became a law it would ruin the
Arlington track near Chicago,
which drew much of its business
from northwestern Indiana. Leslie,
they tell me, said that the opera
tors of the Arlington track had told
him that they had spent $4,000 in
taxes on it and that their business
would be shot if Indiana legalized
racing and betting.
Although not knowing what the
Arlington track had to do with the
Indiana bill, Bert swallowed his
pride and went to see his erStwhile
friend, the Governor.
Fuller described his financial
plight and told of his expectations
to stage a recovery if the bill was
signed.
Leslie, they tell me, listened pa
tiently. Then he said that although
it hurt him to have to disappoint
Bert, he would not make this bill
a law.
Which reminds the old doctor of
what the grasShopper said about
the ant; Chase him away, he's
breaking my heart!"

A Tender Heart Fable


MOT so many years ago there
~ lived in a land not far away a
graSshopper and an ant, who, in
friendship, we're closer than the
Siamese Twins.
While the grasshopper fitted
about in political office trying to
get by with as little effort as pos
Sible, the ant engaged in various
businesses, and during these years
their friendship grew closer and
and closer.
Finally there came a time when
there was high office vacant in
the land and the ant, forgetting
his private business, undertook to
obtain this high Office for his friend,
the g%rasshopper.
After much travail and effort, his
work vas crowned with success and
the gr%asshopper was elected to the
high place at a salary beyond his
dreams. But there soon came a rift
in the friendship and various and
curious explanations were given for
this.
Because the ant paid so much at
tention to the campaign, he was
left without the business he built
up and which he found difficult to
regain. To add to his sorrow, his
health was gone.
y q n
A famine came upon the land
and the ant was in dire need. He
bethought himself of the grasshop-
per. One cold, wintry night he ap-
preached the mansion within which
sat his elevated friend, as snug as
a bug in a rug.
Timidly, the ant knocked at the
door. While the servants went to
answer, the graSshopper came to
the window.
Out in the bitter cold and snow
he beheld his friend-shivering and
shaking in agony Of illness and
weak from hunger.
A sch clutched at the throat of
the grasshopper and sorrow for his
friend gripped his heart.
Turning hastily, he pulled the
bellcord and called for his butler.

THE TARIFF ON
SURPLUS CROPS
Is Not Having the Effect Claimed for
1t; Canadian and American
Wheat Compared.
By HENRY G. TEIGAN

A few days ago Secretary of Agri-
culture Arthur M. Hyde gave out a
statement Indicating that the wheat
farmers of the Northwest are bene-
ficiaries of the tariff system.
Secretary Hyde proceeds to prove
this by comparing Minneapolis wheat
prices with those of Winnipeg. He
shows that for the week ended Sep
TENDER 4, No. 1 dark Northern at
Minneapolis, averages 67.6 cents per
bushel or 1913 cents above the price
of No. 3 Manitoba Northern at Winni-
peg, Ga comparable grade) which was
443. For the week ended October 2,
the spread had increased to PSI, he
says, No. 1 dark Northern at Mime
apOlis being 6S.2 and No. 3 Manitoba
Northern at Winnipeg being 40.1. He
further contends that this same
spread has been maintained since
early October, minneapolis prices
being 27.5 higher for the week ended
November and 81 higher for the
week ended December A."
In U. s. Dollars.
OF course, the actual quotations do
not show any such great difference
as Mr.. Hyde indicates. This COM
paratively great difference in prices
is arrived at by converting Winnipe g
prices Gin terms of the current rate
of exchange" That is to say the
prices are in U. S. dollars.
There is no doubt that the prices
of hard wheat in the Minneapolis
market are above those at Winnipeg,
and Secretary Hyde's figures are prob
ably about right after taking the
Canadian rate of exchange into con-
sideration. But it is amazing that it
should take all these years for the
protective tariff to become effective.
Mr. Hyde does not have anything to
say about the fact that for years at a
stretch, Winnipeg wheat prices were
above those at Minneapolis notwith-
standing the AZ cents per bushel tar
if in effect on this side of the line.
Less than two years ago American
farmers near the Canadian border
were marketing their wheat on the
Canadian side after paying - cents
per bushel. The Canadian price was
higher and there was substantial
saving in freight rates in effect on
the Canadian side.
American Farmers Duped.
American wheat farmers have been
duped for years by Republican roliti-
clans as to the benefits to be derived
from the protective tariff. The fact
is that except in seasons when the
American wheat crop was short and
the surplus was soon wiped out, it
has proven of no real benefit to the
farmers whatever.
At the present time the farmers
are sorely in need of help and the
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1932-01-14

vast majority of them in the North
west have no wheat on hand 1t has
been sold to the grain companies and
the flour mills and whatever gain
there is now in the tariff duties will
accrue to the millers and grain men
and not to the tillers of the SOIL
1t is sort of amusing to see Sec
rotary Hyde, with frantic alertness,
rushing into print to announce to
the American farmer the benefits he
is receiving from the tariff on wheat.
1t has been many years since such
claim could be made and now that
the Republican national administra-
ton is in dire need of help, Hyde and
other political henchmen of the ad-
ministration are reaching out for
straws to save the sinking ship.
Warned Against Expansion.
In this connection it is interesting
to note what Mr.. Hyde said a few
weeks ago in reference to the dangers
OF increasing production. Here the
Republicans find themselves in a di-
lemma as they have had to reverse
their propaganda of advocating MAX
ing two blades of grass grow where
one grew before and demanding that
production be curtailed.
In his statement issued on Novem-
Der 10, Mr.. Hyde warned against the
expansion that had been taking place
during the past few years. He said:
There are both dynamite and en-
lightenment in the statistics taken
from the census that there were S4,-
600 fewer farms in 1880 than in 1925
but there were 100000 more acres
in crops. There are both pathos and
problems in the fact that the 366, 000,-
900 acres planted in crops in 1880
was 55,000000 more than our cult
waited area in 1909 and larger than
the war time peak of 1919"
Would Limit Production.
The plan of Republican politicians
now to get production in agriculture
reduced to a point which would COM
pletely eliminate exports, is scarcely
defensible when the world still stands
in need of these products. Surely
capitalism itself is not such a deSir-
able thing as to require that its sal
walton be purchased at the price sug-
gested. Without doubt the extension
of the principle of cooperation to the
farming industry, thereby enabling
the farmers themselves to control the
sale of their products even as a result
of international agreement, offers a
better solution of solving the problem
than that of trying to curtail produc
ton.

MINNESOTA POTATO
WEEK PROCLAIMED

The week of January "a to 30 has.
been designated as Minnesota Potato
Week by a proclamation signed by
Governor Floyd B. Olson. Hotels and
restaurants will in all probability
feature Minnesota potatoes on their
menus; stores and distributors have
been asked to give special prominence
to these potatoes and the people of
Minnesota are urged to buy their
states potatoes exclusively to aid in
the movement for the encouragement
Of xan important Minnesota industry.
''The legislature of 1881, by the pas
sage of the Gopher State Grading
Law has created machinery for the,
official grading of Minnesota potatoes
by which standardization an excellent
quality of potatoes is insured to the
purchasers of such graded potatoes,
and by which it is hoped to improve
the price the farmer receives for his
crop, and also create a demand in out
side markets for Minnesota potatoes
said the governors proclamation.

FARM RECORDS ASSIST
FARMERS IN PLANNING

Each year an increased number Of
farm account books are obtained by
farmers for the purpose of keeping
records of their farming enterprise
DUNG the ensuing year. Formerly
many farmers were of the opinion
that farm accounts were needless and
that too much effort had to be made
to keep them. However, with simpli-
fed methods, many farmers are going
to keep records for the first time this
year.
Farm accounts assist farmers in de-
termining where to make changes in
their farming operations and it also
has an advantage when some credit
is needed. By showing the bankers
what the assets and liabilities are of
q particular individual, very often the
farmer is assisted in securing needed
credit.
Farm accounts are made up of four
principal parts, first being the inven-
tory which is generally taken on or
about January 1; the keeping of re-
ceipts and expenses during the year;
and finally the closing inventory which
is taken on or about the same date
that the opening inventory was taken
the year previous.
Pine county farmers who are in
terested in getting account books may
do so by writing or calling the county
agents office, as he has supply and
would be glad to furnish them to
farmers who care to keep the &C.

dwelt on the virtues of work and the
good results therefrom. Hans Mos
back of the building committee, gave
ia report on how the work had pro-
crossed and injected a little of his
dry humor. The other members of
the building committee are Carl Lar
sen and "A. Henriksen. They put in
much time and effort to see the pro-
ject through. Mr.. Henriksen was I'M
able to be present Sunday due to ill
ness in the family but sent words
of appreciation for good cooperation

Svend Petersen expressed his appre-
citation of the Young Peoples Society,
said that in their midst was a good
place for old and young to gather
and that where the parents lead the
children follow.
The speaking program was inter-
spersed with vocol solos by Mrs. Svend
Petersen, violin solos by Hjalmar Pc
tersen, both accompanied by Mrs. P.
N. Fenger on the piano, and selec-
lions by the orchestra. The audi
ence also sang several songs fitting
to the occasion.
Anti-War Meetings.
Chairman L. Byron Olsen announced
that the Young Peoples Society will
have a series of anti-war meetings
throughout the winter and spring to
which the public is invited, all of the
meetings to take place on Sunday eve
nings. 1t is planned to have four such
meetings, the first of which will be
on January 31st when George Jacob
son of the Midland Oil Co., Mime
apolis, will speak. He will dwell on
the economic aspect of war. The
next speaker will be Sigurd Johansen
of st. Paul, taking up the social and
moral side of the question on Feb
2Sth. The date of the third meeting
has not yet been decided upon, nor
is it definitely known who will be the
speaker, but it is planned to secure
Fred Renuad of ST. Paul, who is on
the editorial staff of the West Pub
fishing Co., and who, if he comes, will
likely take up the political and inter-
national entanglements. The local
pastor, A. E. Frost, will be the fourth
speaker. An open forum will follow
each meeting when anyone can ask
questions and criticise the speakers
viewpoint.
