IT'S HUMAN BUT IRRITATING

You have heard young parents talk
against high schools, and in later
years when their children reach hlgh
school age and wish to attend and
the parents appreciate more the value
of sufficient schooling and have them
selves grown up a little more, then
the song has a different tune. The
high school is all right when their
own children attend. 1t is no dis
credit for any one to change his mind
but folks who have not studied the
matter and looked into the future,
who are provincially innocent and
change only when conditions affect
themselves are of course not to be
taken too seriously. They are the
kind who need some seasoning. But
even worse are the parents, who
after their children have gone
through the high school, want tt
eliminate it. In other words selfish

With all its draw backs life is still
a splendid adventure.
SHE UNDERSTANDABLE NOT

1t may be an old story, and prob
ably is; but at that it is good enough
for laugh: A preacher was explain
ing to his congregation the great
trials and tribulations of life. He
mentioned the unhappiness caused by
divorce, and urged all husbands to
be more attentive and loving to their
wives. He said for husbands to kiss
their wives more frequently. One OF
the husbands present at the services,
evidently had chosen to go to church
rather than be helpful in domestic
problems. So Immediately after he
hurried home to friend wife-rushed
into the kitchen where he found her
battling with the dishes. He gath
cred her into his arms, embraced and
kissed her.
And now comes the touching part
of the episode. His wife looking at
him strangely, broke away from his
embrace, and bursting into tears she
cried: 1.-The baby is sick, the furnace
fire is out, the plumbing is leaking
and now God have pity on me-you
come home drunk. It's too much!'

DEPRESSION MARRIAGES

Some say two can live as cheaply
as one, but statistics indicate other
wise for there has been a slump in
marriages. On the other hand it
may be that the depression is like
contagious disease, which, when it
once takes hold it seems that it must
run its course and go the rounds.
In 1892 only 9S1,759 couples were
given in marriage in the United
States. This is 1902 less than in
1881. In 1881 the percentage of we'd
dings to population was lower than
in any other year since the Civil war,
with the exception only of 1917, the
year the United States entered the
World war.
The registration of births reached
a new low for 1882. Only 1,961,61S
babies were born, as compared with
2,112,760 in 1881.

Referring to the recent massacre
down in Kansas City when four OF
ficers were shot down by gangsters
while engaged in returning an es-
capped convict to the penitentlary,
newspaper writer states that I'VE pro-
fess to be shocked at the firing squad
method employed in Russia for GER
tain types of law violators, but we are
forced to admit that it is effective.
The writer adds further, 1T is pos
sible yet that we may learn some
thing from Russia The depression
has something to do with increased
lawlessness but in many cases 1t Is
used as an excuse. There is no use
of being too lenient or compromising
with a man who would just as soon
shoot another person as to look al
him.

The recent death of former Con-
gresham G. N. Haugen OF Iowa, re-
minds us of how radical some folks
and some parts of the country thought
was the bill drawn up in Congress
by that gentleman and Senator Nc
Nary of Oregon, back in 1921.
The McNary-Haugen bill was de-
signed to help farmers through an
equalization fee on grain exports. 1t
was twice vetoed by President Cool
idge who gave as his reason that 1t
would be too expensive, sectionally
discriminating and an attempt at
price fixing. Today the McNary-
Haugen bill would look rather tame
and if it had passed and become law
back in 1928 it is possible that it
would have averted more expensive
experiments now.

A PROBLEM FOR THE ECONOMIST
TO FIGURE OUT
Editor Askov American

Editor ASkOv American: {.
A farmer, supposed to be the owner,
occupies a farm on which there is a
$4,000 mortgage held by the Federal
Land Bank. He has defaulted on his
interest and installment payments the
past two years and his taxes are three
years delinquent; he also owes note
of $1,000 on his personal property, Sc
cured by a chattel mortgage.
In 1924, when the mortgage on his
farm was taken over by the Federal
Land Bank, his farm had an appraised
value of $4,000, the land being val
ued at $4,000 and the buildings at
$4,000. At that time the gross income
from the farm was $21OO derived as
follows: from butterfat $14OO; from
sale of cattle and hogs $500 and from
sale of potatoes, eggs, rutabagas and
all other products $500. Fixed ch.rges
for interest, amortization of mortgage
and taxes were $40, which left him
the sum of $3.50 as compensation for
the work performed by him and his
family.
The past three years the income
from his farm operations has
dwindled to about $500; fixed ext enses
have increased about 500 on account
of the necessity of borrowing more
money in order to pay for seed anC
repair of farm machinery and sc
forth. In the meantime taxes have
been reduced about $40, leaving his
| fixed charges or overhead at $3.50
This leaves him net income OF sol
for the work of himself and family
Out of this amount he has to blu!
sugar and coffee and clothe his fam
lily. How can he do it? To most OF u!
it appears impossible, and so it doe
to the farmer. He must feed hi
family. The law forbids him to lie
his wife and children and himself q
naked, and so he buys whatever n
can get with the money that shoul'
have been used for paying interes
and taxes. He cannot do otherwise
Congress saw last winter that thi
thing could not go on in the long rul
and so it passed laws which it wa
thought would remedy the situation

was passed which among other thing
provided for the strengthening OF tn

SCHOOL DIFFICULTIES

Editor Askov American:
A year ago, in 1882 at the annual
school election, Edward DePover, was
elected on the school board as treas
urer in district No. 80, otherwise
known as the Golf school. A. M.
Price was clerk and Geo. Stuart,
chairman, of the district. 1t appears
that the chairman and clerk did not
want the newly elected treasurer.
Well Mr.. DePover upon being notified
of his election went ahead as per
rules and two of his near neighbors
were going to go his bonds. The
chairman and clerk would not &C
cept them and so he made an appli-
cation for a surety bond. Both the
chairman and clerk turned that down
also. Then they pointed out two men
and told him if he could get them,
all we'll and good. And he got them.
But the chairman and clerk did not
expect that those men would go his
bonds. However they did and all
discovered that the treasurer lived
up to his oath of office.
What happened then? The chair
man and clerk went to the treasurer's
bondsmen and told them all kinds OF
stories so as to get them to withdraw
their bonds and so that they would
have a chance to throw the treasurer
off the board. But the bondsmen re-
fused to do that.
Well what next? On July 90, 1888
short time after the annual elec-
ton, the school board met to draw
their annual pay as it was vot d
Amongst other things the clerk and
chairman passed a resolution to the
effect that the treasurer had to gel
new or additional bonds. They wanted
surety bonds this time. The treas
urer said. 20. X. boys, but it is M
more than right that the distric
should finance the cost thereof" mo
that won't do, the district can't af
for it," was the reply. He was frank
ly told that he had to foot the cos
thereof Just one year ago those yer.
same members of the board accepted
those very bondsmen.
Of course the law provides that tn
clerk and chairman may call for new
or additional bonds whenever the
think it is necessary and under thos
rules they can call for a new bon
every few days if they wish to. TIL
honorable school board has about tn
right color to do that. But when tn
treasurer asked the clerk for his rea
| sons in writing why he should &c
different bonds the clerk refused
do so. The only possible reasons tn
clerk and chairman could have
because the treasurer lived up to hi
oath of office.
l l always believed that all schot
: and township business should be fire

2 boards are the servants of the peopl
who elected them and therefore tn

IN MIDST WONDERS SHADOW

To visit the Century of Progress in
Chicago one needs only to get within
sight of the magnificent grounds to
begin a period of marveling at that
modern wonderland. One views step
by step the advancement in sclentlhc
channels that has taken place during
the past one hundred years. One sees
what foreign countries are doing and
can compare with our own achieve
ments. One can see the almost be-
lieved impossible creation of flying
craft and other modes of travel to-
sether with the wonderful life saving
and life-prolonging devices of medical
science. In fact the whole exhibit
is enthralling in it's magnitude-the
human brain can do anything.
But can it? Even amidst all this
luxury of scientific advancement there
is shadow or a doubt lowering with
the onlooker. Almost everything is
there to make life easier and faster,
but there is no place where one is
told how to be among the small privi-
legged class who can enjoy the fruits
of this progress. True enough If we
are fortunate enough to travel we
may take our places in some of the
modern vehicles but there are very
few people among the common clas'
and especially among the more thar
seven million of unemployed who ever
are so sure that the old methods o
many years ago do not still exist, un
less possibly their lot is more tragic
today than their ancestors ever ex
perienced.
There is undoubtedly something
wrong with the system of advance
ment of the human race when scienc'
can produce such wonders and at TIN
same time be helpless to give tn
masses that sustaining mamma witt
which this country abounds.
Yes the Century of Progress is won
derful-marvelous, but it is hope
that before very long period ha
passed that no weak and hungry will
be cared for and fed through prog
ress concurrent with what is show
there.
