wear-in the midst of plenty. The
laborer gets sustenance only while
| he is laboring. That is the way the
economic system of today works.
All the people should have leisure
and culture. 1t should be a common
endowment and not for the few. We
! must have a new conception. Pas
sions and interest have prevented the
change from being carried out long
ago, and some people really think
they are not born free, but to work
for others-to go on with drudgery.
Over 100,000,000 people stand not
wanted in the world today, said the
speaker. The capitalist system is
done with, it is beyond repair. The
avenues of production must be taken
over in behalf of the people, and the
small privileged class should be a
thing of the past.
The concluding remark was: l ask
your help in bringing about a new
social order.
A FOrceful Speaker.
Though about 20 years of age, Mr..
Henderson is a forceful speaker, and
brought his Askov lecture of over an
hour to a dramatic close when he
said that in a theological sense it
is a "Devilish system" that we har-
Dor, and pleaded for help in bringing
about new social order. The speak
er was accorded rapt attention
throughout and his beautiful English
with the native pronunciation was
pleasing to the ear.
The English Stuart Chase lives in
Norwich, on the east coast, city
of 100000 people. He has been
member of the city council for 80
years, is very active in library and
other educational work, hospitaliza-
ton, and does much writing. Arthur
Henderson, another labor leader in
England, is no relative of Fred Hen
derson.
In the absence of the chairman OF
the local Socialist club, H. R. Buck,
who attended the state convention In
Minneapolis, the speaker was intro
duced by Rev. A. E. Frost, who said
that the sole purpose with the five
lectures to be given this winter Is
educational. Rev. and Mrs. Frost en-
tertained the speaker at dinner.
Books and pamphlets written by Mr..
Henderson were sold at the conclu-
sion of his address, the principal one
being Cease for Socialism"

FIVE WINTER DRIVING RULES

Skidding on icy or slippery
highways has already taken it's
toll of deaths and injuries in Min
nesota this fall. Below are five
rules to prevent skidding which
have been given to all employees of
the state highway department.
They are good rules for every driv-
er to remember:
1. Keep in gear. Rear wheels
are less likely to skid if they are
kept turning by the motor.
2. Apply brakes gently. Don't
apply the brakes to the rear wheels
harder than they can take them, or
they will slip. A little slip is
young skid.
3. Don't shift gears unless you
must. Trouble may follow if you
have to shift gears on a hill and
the road is icy.
4. Put on chains, all around, if
it is icy. A pair of chains costs
less than a damaged vehicle.
5. Pay full attention to the busi-
ness of driving. Handle everything
in an easy manner-gas, steering,
brakes-no sudden moves If skids
are to be avoided.

CHILD WELFARE
SPEAKER HEARD
ASkOv Parent.Teacher Association
Make Plans to Form Pie.
school Child Group.

The regular meeting of the Askov
Parent-Teacher Association was held
in the school house Friday mis- hit with
fair sized crowd being present. A
program of singing and speaking had
been arranged. Mrs. Marion L.
Faegre, of the Child Welfare Institu e
of the University of Minnesota, was
present to lead a discussion on the
pre-school child and the possibility
of organizing an association for the
study of same in Askov A committee
to work on the proposition was APP
pointed.
In speaking on the subject Mrs.
Faegre stated that the Child We'll
fare Institute at the University was
organized in 1926 and told of the
work it had done in the intervening
period from then until now. She
stated that in many cases parenthood
is neglected; that the small child
does not learn by instinct but should
have the right kind of environment.
In this connection she told of the old
saying of the Jesuits as to their hav-
ing child the first seven years,
intimating that largely from then on
it would grow up about the same as
it had been taught during that time.
The speaker also called attention to
that favorite maxim, GAS the twig is
bent so the tree will grow"
She contradicted the theory that
children are born with certain habits
and characteristics. These have to
be taught them and, said the speaker,
the environment must be good to
make the child grow to good man.
hood or womanhood. They acquire
habits and characteristics from 9th
ers and she told of an instance where
some little sparrOws were placed in a
room with some canaries, which after
period of association and listening
to their song, began to initiate them.
They were left in the room for time
and then taken with some of their
kind. They soon acquired the spar
row ways and sounds, but when taken
back into the canary room they again
adopted singing as near to that of the
IiIIiO oohSolClo do was pooolOlC IOl a
sparrow to initiate. The speaker lik-
ened this example to little children.
Mrs. Faegre gave some valuable in
formation on her subject and it is
possible that an organization will be
formed here in the near future.
New Report Card Form Proposed.
Following the speaking and dis
cussion on the pre-school child, Su-
perintendent Henry P. Nielsen of the
local school proposed a new form of
report card similar to what is now
being used in some schools. His ex-
PLANTATION was very thorough and a
change from the present form seemed
to be the sentiment of the audience.
Other numbers on the program in
cluded two vocal selections by Mrs.
Svend Petersen accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. A. Henriksen.
The program for the next meeting
will be arranged and lunch will be
served by the fathers and committee
was appointed by the chairman who
limited that the affair will be a good
one. A committee was appointed to
work on the event which will be
some time the fore part of December.
After the program and meeting a so
cial hour was enjoyed.

Worlds Fair Will
Again Show in 1894

Those who have failed to see the
Worlds Fair at Chicago this year will
have another opportunity next year
according to an announcement this
week. The fair will again open its
gates on June 1, 1884, for another five
months period, said Rufus c. Dawes,
president of the exposition, after men,
bers of the Worlds Fair Association
had voted unanimously in favor of
the project.
Nearly 22,30O,OOO persons flocked to
the nations second city during the
summer and on the fair grounds the
visitors spent an average of about
$1.15 each-a total of $25,545,000.
Outside the fair grounds, according to
estimates of the Association of Com
merce, some $4OO, 100000 was expend-
ed by the millions who came for the
exposition and the hundreds of con-
ventions held during the summer.
Cost Of Exposition.
1t cost, fair officials said, some $751;
100000 to put on the lake front show.
That was some $4,000 less than ex-
penditures for the Columbian EXPOSE
ton here 40 years ago, the previous
biggest exposition from the attendance
standpoint. Forty years ago 21,48O, 141
persons visited that exposition.
The 1888 fair was put on with a
bonded Indebtedness of 100000
Monday all but so per cent of that
will be paid hackers of the exposition.
When the fair opens next year, esti-
mates indicate that when the 10000
000th visitor clicks through the turn
stiles the exposition will have been
paid for in toto, the first exposition in
the United States to be moneymaker.
Report Business Gain.
Railroads, bus lines, aviation COM
panies, lake steamers all reported the
biggest BUSINESS in years bringing
visitors to Chicago.
The show was counterpart of
modernity over a background of an
tiquity. Most popular was the Hall
of Science, where the miracles of
mans attainment were brought to vi
vid attention for comparison with the
past. In exhibits on the three and
one-half miles long grounds, trans
portation, art, religion, science
passed in review.

CAPITOL NEWS REVIEW

Governor Olson's agricultural
credit advisory council held its in
itial meeting last week behind
closed doors. Newspaper men
were barred from the session,
which was conducted in strict Sec
recy. However, amid the pail of
mystery that circled the committee
chamber, word trickled out that
the Governor intends to turn the
heat on federal farm re-financing
Organization. Dame Rumor has il
that this is to be effected by the
Organization of county committees;
who will demand, not legally but
suggestively, that the federal agen-
cies and other creditors will ac-
cept a scaling down Of farm mort
cages.
It is known that farm leaders are
becoming discouraged with the
|re-financing program Of the Fed
eral Land Bank and other federal
agencies. They claim that these
agencies are re-f1nancing the
"plums" only, and are shooting of
the distressed mortgagor with low
appraisals.
More than 5000 drivers license
applications were received by Min
nesota clerks of the District Court
on the first day after receiving the
blanks. The press and public OF
the state are cooperating splendid
lily towards making the new law q
success. Prompt applications are
urged to prevent a last minute
jam. It is hoped that Minnesota
will be able to duplicate the ex-
perience Of other states, which have
reduced auto accidents as much as
thirty per cent after licensing
drivers.
In an effort to dispose of some OF
its holdings, the Rural Credit De
partment, under the management
of Conservator T. H. Arens, is go
ing into the lake shore business.
Farms in the possession of the de-
partment which have lake frontage
are being segregated from the
general list.
The Industrial Commission has
completed survey of employment
conditions in 26 of the principal in
dustrial Of the state, located in 10
cities and towns, and involving 557
firms Of employers and between
10000 and $4,000 employees. The
figures obtained are now being tab
Iulated for study.

5000 Men Planned

The projects that have been sub

will dress quietly, creep downstairs
and tiptoe about so as not to dis
turb sleeping adults.
When the afternoon begins to
drag and stormy weather makes
outdoor play inadvisable, it is time
to bring out the new plaything (al-
WAYS on hand for rainy days, acct
dents or sickness) and the bits of
tinsel, cloth and waste products,
the corn popper-and to rig up a
curtain" for dramatic play or
shadow pictures.
In one doctors household it Is
always the children's privilege to
repair to the store room for cos
TUNES and put on a style show
for the guests. Even the youngest
shares in this, and the guests do
not need to feign amusement, for
the effects are often ludicrous.
All children delight in dramatic
play, and if costumes are provided
it heightens the fun Ca costume
may consist simply in a shawl
which becomes at various times a
coat of mail, a fur scarf, kings
robe). If putting on a show Is too
desultarily, too spontaneously done,
lit becomes just Stiffness of which
the children soon tire. Or, If their
efforts are laughed at and ridicul-
ed, they become discouraged and
secretive.
Friendly criticism and encourage
ing suggestions from adults (and
a curtain for the theatre) makes
putting on a show a real project,
with all the thrill Of first night"
Memorizing the lines of a simple
play or trying to remember those
of a familiar story, is excellent
practice in dramatics and in the
use Of good English.
Holidays usually present more of
"a problem than Sundays, because
the customarily heavier meal, the
presence of guests and often of
gifts, the broken routine, are I'M
usually stimulating to children. Out
door exercise, common sense in
the matter of food and bedtime,
the handling Of guest children, and
above all, great patience and tact
in avoiding emotional upsets, will
help the children happily through
the day. And while we're on the
subject Of holidays, some simple
reminder, green paper napkins on
st. Patrick's day, tiny flag on the
table for a Presidents birthday
any small favor or family obser-
vance makes the day seem festive

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
Sunday and HOLIDAYS.

In some families Sunday is a
long. wearisome day in which there
are petulant demand for some
thing to do" idle teasing, quick
tears-a drag Of quietness for the
children, series Of small irrita-
tons for the tired adults.
Sunday can be a happy day. an
interesting day, having special priv
ileges and activities that knit the
family more closely together and
provide many happy memories in
years to come. Because it is pc
culiarly family day" does not
roesn, however, that tired moth
er and father, wanting to relax In
their own way, should be forced to
join in the children's play, or to
suggest endless amusement fol
them.
A Sundays hike with a small
boy and his dog Is privilege that
a young father may not appreciate
to its fullest extent until that small
boy is grown, but the fun and ex.
ercise he can enjoy of a Sunday
playing ball for a little while with
the youngsters, helping to build a
snow fort, skating or walking with
his youngest tucked warmly in a
box sled-these need only be tried
once to become a pleasant custom
One father Of boys Of nine and
eleven regularly devotes two hours
on every Sunday to the boys-sets
this time aside and makes a spec
ial rite Of it. The children plan
for days ahead Of time what they
are going to do with this precious
tease" on their fathers undivided
attention, sometimes deciding to
play simple game of threehanded
bridge, sometimes bringing him
toys to repair, sometimes planning
a short excursion, or a trip to the
movies.
This is how father becomes the
gamer, and secures respite for the
remainder Of the day. The boys
know from past experience that
Dad can be counted on; that he will
allow only the most urgent inter-
lruptions or interventions, and that
he will later make up" the lost
time. And in return for this fair
lplay, they do not make additional
demands on his time. He gains
too, by holding the confidence of
his boys, and by discovering that
he Fundamentally enjoys their
companionship.
Preschool children are some
times Sunday morning problem
On this day, when they may stay
in bed as long as they like and
dawdle over their dressing, they
invariably rise earlier than usual
and dress hurriedly, bubbhng with
energy and enthusiastic plans! It Is
cruelty wearying for a brightly
awake child to remain forcibly in
bed, for the privilege Of being up
and about all alone, most children
