School and Homes
To Cooperate
Supt. Fred Grafelman of ASkOv School,
Announces Plan for Extra
Activities This Year.

The Askov high school was repre-
sented at the district meeting of sup
erintendents and coaches at Hinckley
on Wednesday of last week. At this
meeting plans were made for the inter-
school activities of the current school
year. These included debate, decla-
nation and athletics.
Schedules for athletic games, as
we'll as for other activities, were made
by the various schools. The Askov
high school will accordingly have a
somewhat reduced schedule of inter-
high school athletic games, providing
for only four girls games of basket
ball.
Care was taken to arrange the
games so that nearly all playing
away from home would be done before
the cold winter weather. Under the
present schedule only one game will
be played away from home during
the months of January and February.
All of them will be played on Friday,
with only one exception, to avoid in
reference with school work. Further
more, all the games will be played
with towns near home.
All teams Of the district drew places
for the first rounds of the annual
district basketball tournament, Askov
drawing Moose Lake. The dates of
the tournament are March 8, 10 and
II, and the place is again the Hinck-
ley gymnasium.
In connection with other activities
it was decided to award silver cups
as trophies to the winners of district
debate and defamation.
The Askov plan of high school ac-
tivities for the current school year
provides that each student taking part
in activities must secure the written
consent of the parents. This new plan
makes possible a close cooperation
between the home and the school.
The activities will thus be provided
only for the students whose parents
wish them to use such opportunities.
Furthermore, the plan limits and
spreads the activities among a greater
number of students.
All activities are classed as major
and minor, depending upon the amount
of time required for each. In this
connection it has been found neces-
sary to include community activities,
such as band, choir, etc.
Under this system students are
limited according to their ability to
do their regular school work. Average
students will be allowed to partici-
pate in not more than two major &C
tivities, students above average in not
more than one major and two minor,
and students below average consider
ably less. The Askov school will care
fully use good scholarship and CO

steal potatoes at their present prices.

CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. Walker Is Laid at Rest After
Active Life Well Spent In
Community.

The many relatives, friends, and
old acquaintance of Mrs. e. j. Wal
ker were saddened by the news of her
death which occurred at the home of
her daughter, Fern. on September Is,
in Minneapolis, where Mrs. Walker
had gone for treatment.
Because of illness in recent years,
she has not been so active in COM
munity life, but many recall the days
when she was always among those
present to help along in whatever
there was to do. She was especially
fond of music, and often her rich alto
filled the church as she gave of her
services in the choir.
Otillie Amelia Ziegler was born in
Holden, Goodhue county, Mimi, on
July "a, 1877. AS a young girl she
came to Brook Park with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Ziegler.
Nine years later she left for South
Dakota, the bride of Ed Walker. 1t
was there her three children, Fern,
Gladys and Edward were born. Upon
the return of her family to this place
in 1919, she again took her position
in the community which welcomed
her return.

City spoke comforting words at a
service made beautiful by lovely
flowers and by songs Mrs. Walker had
herself so often sung. Six brothers
were pallbearers.

FARMER-LABOR
VICTORY SEEN
Continued from Page y

Things continue to look good for
the Farmer-Labor ticket. Audiences
have been larger during the past
week than they were during the ear
lier weeks of the campaign. Magnus
johnson, A. C. Townley, and the
writer began our campaign about the
middle of July and have been con-
tinually in the field since that time.
1t is interesting to note the increased
interest manifested by the voters
everywhere since our ten weeks tour
began.
And why wouldn't the interest
keep up? Arthur Sears Henning,
noted political writer of the Chicago
Tribune, was in the state a few days
ago and he went away with the con-
v1ction that the state is very likely
lost to the Republicans. Mr. Henning
quotes Republican editor (who
dared not give his name) to the effect
that unless conditions improve be-
tween now and November 5 the cleo
tion is lost.
Farm Prices Decline.
AS far as conditions are concerned,
there is little evidence of improve
ment. A report in the st. Paul Sun
day Pioneer Press of September 10,
shows that while the cost of living
has declined ten per cent during the
year ended the first week of Septem-
Der this year, employment has de-
cllned twenty-One per cent and wages
have declined more than thirty-eight
per cent. Agricultural prices have
declined nearly twenty-eight per cent
during the same period. With the
decline in the purchasing power of
the workers it is small wonder that
there has been a corresponding de-
cline in the prices of farm products.
The workers are those who buy the
products of the farm, and when they
nave no money to buy with, the farm
er cannot sell his products.
FL. Campaign I'm All Parts.
Farmer-Labor speakers have meet
1ngs in all parts of Minnesota during
the next two weeks. Cavalcade No.
is in Western Minnesota this week
covering Stevens, Big Stone, Traverse,
Grant, Pope, Swift and Kandiyohi
counties. Cavalcade No. 2 is in South
western Minnesota, while F.. H. Shoe
maker and Mrs. Nellie Miller, men,
Der of the state executive committee,
are in the southeastern part of the
state. j. L. Peterson, another of the
nine Farmer-Labor congressional can
didates, is also in Southern Minnesota

Yankees have a swell chance"
He pointed out that the Yankees
could lose 81 of their remaining
Al games and still tie the second
place Cleveland Indians for first
honOrs provided the latter team won
80 of its remaining 40 contests.
Behind the pitching of Danny
MacFayden and Johnny Allen, the
New Workers had little trouble in
downing the Tigers, taking the first
contest, IS to 8, and the nightcap,
7 to 3. Tony Lazzeri supplied most
of the batting power with three
home runs and a single to account
for seven runs.
Cleveland took the runner-up
position away from Philadelphia
when they defeated the AS, 3 to 2,
with Mel Harder yielding the Mack
men only eight hits. A home run
by Glen Wyatt with a man on base
brought about the downfall of
George EarnShaw.
The Senators came from behind
to down the White SoX, 5 to 3, on a
four-run eighth inning rally, while

test Walter Stewart pitched the

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE win
ming spirit of the Chicago Cubs I'M
der their new leader, Charley
Grimm, promises to propel them a
long way toward the National
League pennant during the next
two weeks at home.
The Cubs new spirit was demon
strated before $4,000 fans at Wrig-
ley field Tuesday when they over
came a three-run disadvantage In
the ninth inning to beat the Bos-
ton Braves, 4 to. 3.
With one out in the ninth, Her
man, English and Cuyler doubled
in succession to score two runs and
put the tying run on second base.
Stephenson, first batter to face
Ben Cantwell, who relieved Ed
Brandt, singled to score Cuyler with
the tying run. Johnny Moore, bat
ting for Demaree, kept the rally
alive by singing to center. Then
Grimm popped up for the second
out. Hartnett grounded to short,
but Urbanski juggled the ball and
the bases were filled. urges drove a
single to center, scoring Stephen
son with the winning run.
Until the ninth inning outburst,
the Cubs had made only two singles
off Brandt and had only one run
ner reach second. Lon Warneke,
who failed for the second time to
win his eighteenth game, was driven
off the mound in the eighth when
the Braves scored three runs. Bud
Thinning, who relieved him, received
credit for the victory.
