WANTS WRITER'S NAME
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOv American:
Answering the article which ap-
peared in the Sept. 2Sth issue of the
American signed "A Neighbour" we
have been trying for some time to
learn how the fire which burned the
hay on our place Aug. 26 got started
as this fire had no connection what
ever with the smoke seen on our place
on the previous dates.
"Mr. Neighbor" mentions four men
asleep at our place on this date. This
is untrue as there was no one at
home except my invalid father who
was asleep. We have about come to
the conclusion that this fire was
started by some trouble-making sneak.
And as the writer of the article signed
"a Neighbor" prefers to'keep his iden-
tity secret it appears to us that he
knows something about who started
the fire. Now, "'Mr. Neighbor," you
are so we'll posted on these fires and
dates. Just where were you when the
fire started and what were you doing?
Yes, "Freds" friends and neighbors
that attended the hearing lived 10
miles away except witnesses for the
state. These witnesses for the state
were also friends of ours and they
are people that stand for what is
right only.
If any part of our taxes go to the
maintaining of the forest service in
Pine county, we have paid our share.
But that is not the only way we are
forced to pay. l am sure taxes will
never worry you. 'Mr. Neighbor," as
you will never be able to own things
to pay taxes on.

PROGRESS TAKES COURAGE

To follow along in the path of least
resistance, the path that has been
trodden by generations and genera
tions before us does not require any
superhuman effort, but to step out
and explore a new path does take
considerable courage and effort. So
it was with Columbus, in whose men,
ory we observe today, October II.
The only countries laid down L.
the 18th century on the rude and i'm
perfect maps then in use were the
continent of Europe, part of Asia, a
narrow strip of Northern and Eastern
Africa, and finally a few islands, the
largest of which was the British Isles
and Iceland. The Atlantic was pop
ularly called the Sea of Darkness"
and the earth was believed to be flat.
Columbus believed differently and
since the main trade of the people
was with the Indies he was anxious to
find a new and more direct route to
that land. He was sure the earth
was not flat and thought if he sailed
west he could reach the coveted goal.
WIFI lHuCH ptISlSlcHSS uC hhoiiy
gained the assistance of King Ferdi-
nand and Queen Isabella of Spain.
He started on his journey with three
small ships and 120 men on August
3. 1892, and landed on the shore of
what is now known as Watling's Is
land in the West Indies group just
off the coast of America on Oct. II,
1892.
Columbus courage was the means
of opening up the western hemisphere
and it demonstrated to the people OF
his time that the black mystery that
embraced the ocean was just a mys-
terry and that it could be penetrated.
Columbus voyage of exploration was
perhaps one of the first major steps
of progress, but it led to more extern
sive trips and great deeds of progress
in the future, just as progressive
ideals and deeds now might lead to
the betterment of the human race.
At least it is worth trial to leave
the old beaten and wornout trail OF
precedent and embark on new and
sound one with the betterment of
conditions as the goal.

FARM BUREAU CHARGES
(St. Paul Pioneer Press)

Senatorial hearings in Washington
on ocean mail subsidies have brought
to light alleged activities Of American
Farm Bureau Federation agents
which, if proved, call for drastic
housekeeping by the rank and file
of the organization and their sincere
leaders. 1t is disclosed that during
the fight for these subsidies legislative
agents of the Farm Bureau offered to
turn their lobby and propaganda re-
sources over to the shipping interests
for 100000. The idea apparently
was that the political support of the
Farm Bureau membership would be
swung for contracts desired by the
shipping men.
The testimony before the Senate
committee also alleges that the Farm
Bureau officials have been employed
for similar purposes by the National
Electric Association, the National
Lumberman's Association, the Copper
and Brass Research Association and
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce.
The fact that these accusations have
been made does not prove them So
but at the very least they call for an
explanation. The Farm Bureau has
ben a trusted representative of Large
section of agriculture, one of the
weightiest of the general farm organi-
cations. Such activities by its Wash
ington agents, probably for personal
profit. would constitute a shocking be-
trayal of the farmers who employ
them. The Farm Bureau executives
cannot allow this charge to 60 I'M
answered. On the face of these
charges the Farm Bureau was sold
out. It's members were delivered" to
these who would pay the price. There
is a great need for light.

Paul Mallon, Washington writer,
who has a column in The Minneapolis
Tribune, wrote the other day, as fol-
lows:
They say you can tell what man
thinks by finding out the type of books
he is reading.
Two bright volumes occupy the most
prominent position in Mr.. Roosevelts
private library. They are on shelf
obviously read them recently.
One is entitled: Confessions of the
Power Trust"
Next to it is: Public Ownership"
They may offer a gentle hint to the
power companies that Mr.. Roosevelt is
thinking far ahead of his own words
on that subject.
While recently in the office of the
governor of our state, Floyd B. Olson
the writer noticed the same book
Confessions of the Power Trust" by
Carl d. Thompson, on his desk.
This is an Informative book that
should be in every library in America
1t goes extensively into the Federal
Trade investigation of the Power
Trust with some startling revelations
as to the organizations, their financial
structure and methods of corruptine
government, getting their propaganda
into schools and universities through
the text books, instructors on the
payrolls of power companies, and their
continual aggressive war against pub
lie ownership.
There is better outlook for the
American people when such outstand-
ing public leaders as President Roose-
welt, Senator Norris, and Governor Oh.
son are reading books of that type.
With Muscle Shoals, Boulder Dam
the proposed development of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway
Columbia river project, and other pro-
jects of a like nature in action, the
American housewife, the farmer, and
the general consumers of electricity
are due for a new deal.

ROCK CREEK HAS
HOLIDAY MEET
Continued from Page ~

L
ask the question, what has the Holt
day done'?" said Mr.. Sandell, but
ask yourself what you have done as
an Individual"
Mr.. Sandell cited some things which
the Holiday movement had definitely
accomplished. One was the movement
of the farmers to the State Capitol
last winter when a critical point had
income tax. Another thing was the
securing of freight rate cut on hay
shipped into Pine county last year,
and a third was the fact that the
militant efforts of the organization
had stopped thousands of mortgage
foreclosures on farms.
The laboring class, when organic
ing, always has had betrayers. said
Mr.. Sandell and it is likely that the
farmers will have them in their
ranks, since there are people in the
world who will do anything for a
dollar.
In addition to the talks, there was
program of songs and poems by
some children of the Rock Creek
community. Alfred Nelson and Emil
Erickson sang several selections, &C
companied by Mrs. Gust Christensen.
Arthur Peterson acted as chairman
of the meeting and introduced the
various speakers.
