BLOCK

Sandstone suffered n disastrous
fire at midnight Wednesday night
when the Cooperative store block
burned to the ground. Three bus

aided the firemen considerably In
keeping the blaze from spread

The fire was not discovered
until after it had gained cOnSid-

that 1t started somewhere near

Rounding out life we'll spent is
now the occupation Of C. H. Ayers,
stepfather of Mrs. w. J. Hahn of
Cloverton. Mr.. Ayers will observe his
SD birthday at the home of his step
daughter on Sunday, March II, and
needless to say it will be a cheerful
event.
The old gentleman was born in
Newark, Wayne county. New York.
on March ~, 1850 and when a small
lad came with his parents to Racine,
Wis. When he was II years Of age
they moved to Winona, Mimi, and in
1873 moved to Dakota territory, the
place which is now Brookings, S. d.
Mr.. Ayers spent the greater part of
his time there until 1894 when he
moved to Staples, Mimi, where he
resided 81 years. 10 years of which
was spent on the farm and II years
in the employ of the Northern Pacific
Railway Co.
Mrs. Ayers health was poor and
they moved to Aurora, S. D., and five
years ago came to Cloverton with Mr..
and Mrs. w. j. Hahn, where Mrs. Ay-
ers passed away August 3, 1880. Mr..
Ayers has made his home with Mr..
and Mrs. Hahn since the death of his
wife and has always helped with the
chores about the farm. He is of
kind-hearted disposition and has
large circle of friends.
To study his picture at the thresh-
ing machine grain spout (above), one
can readily see that he comes from
sturdy stock of citizens and his APP
pearance vouches for his friendly
nature. Friends far and near will
congratulate Mr.. Ayers on his Ion
gevity and will wish him many more
active years of happy and contented
life.
Hahns Have Fine Farm Home.
That Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Hahn are
substantial and respected citizens is
evidenced by the fact that they have
one of the best and well-kept farms
in eastern Pine county. 1t is located
few miles from Cloverton village
and is fruit of a strict application to
duty and good management on the
part of Mr.. and Mrs. Hahn. Mr.. Hahn
is treasurer of the town board of
Dosey township.

by serious curtailment of income; the
means of exchange are frozen in the

Primarily, this is because the rul-

goods have failed through their own
stubbornness and their own incom-

rejected by the hearts and minds of

True, they have tried. but their
efforts have been cast in the pat

by failure of credit, they have pro-

to induce our people to follow their

world will once more be turned in

Smashing Hitler Victory.
While liberalism now is enthroned
in the United States. supported by a
nation loyal enough to forget all party
strife, reactionary conservatism won
smashing victory in Germany last
Sunday when Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler's fascist National Socialists cast
just about Is million votes in the par
liamentary elections and gave the ma
tional government a dependable ma
jority in the "Reichstag." Allied with
the National Socialists are the Ger
man Nationalist whose 100000 votes
increased the strength of the govern
ment party quite considerably.
The results of the election are that
the allied Hitler parties will have
about 325 seats out of total of 613
(these figures subject to such revision
as may be needed on the basis of Of
fetal and more complete returns).

reason may be some guilty feel
ing relating to sex tranSgreS-
sions or even to sex fancies.
Poverty may give rise to infe'
riority convictions. Then there
is a lack of education. Disap-
pointments in the love life are
a frequent cause, especially
among women. Unjust or un-
deserved treatment at the hands
of a friend or employer can
readily develop a marked case
of this devastating obsession.
Once realizing the cause,
however, every attempt must be
made not only to vitiate its ef-
fects but to fight them with the
recognition of achievements In
other fields.
A girl who has been Tilted in
love, for instance, and feels con-
vinced nobody will ever like her
again, should at once draw upon
her ego for support and declare
her former admirer wasn't worth
the trouble after all. At any
rate, she should stop overidealiZ-
ing him and instead should try
deliberately to underrate him.
At least she must convince her
self that she still is desirable
and set out without delay to
prove it.
The method in such a case
may be artificial and trumped
up for the occasion, neverthe-
less it will prove effective in
overcoming inferiority. And it
may be added that as the wound
of disappointment heals she will
find herself in possession Of the
proper emotional perspective to
evaluate her former lover at his
true worth, but without feelings
of self-disparagement.
In all cases of inferiority con-
victions outside the love life the
method of overcoming them IS
even less difficult.
Simply draw a line length
wise through the middle Of a
sheet of blank paper. Then in
the first column, and by num-
ber, write a list Of your assets;
that is, all your achievements in
the past, your successes, mem
cries which make you happy,
the names of those who admire
you or are fond of you, and the
like. In the second column, also
numbered, write the inferiority
ideas that bother you, as well
as any other items concerning
which you think you have a just
grievance.
Ten to one the first column Of
assets will be longer and more
impressive than the second one
of liabilities.
Then study and compare both
carefully-over and over again.
Realize how fortunate and men
tally strong you really are;
think of how much better off
you are than many others whom
you know.
Let these facts sink deeply
into your mind-and presto!-
your inferiority will be gone!
