After lunch which was enjoyed very
much spread on large tables, or under
the trees in the beautiful Stenson

order by VIM. H. Barnick, who had
charge of the activities. At 1 o'clock
Clifford Greenwald, noble grand of
Sandstone Ladge l. o. o. F., was in
troduced and in a very pleasing man.

teresting address on odd fellowship.

some of his experiences, which he
did and with humor

THE VIKING SPIRIT

Some time ago the mining COM
panies in northern Minnesota gave
out the statement that they would
not pay the last half of their 1882
taxes which comes due before Nov.
1st. 1t is contended by Range citi-
zens that the mining companies have
made plenty of money-by the mil
lions-the last dozen years so that
even if things are not moving so well
for them at present and has not been
good the last two years, they can we'll
afford to pay their taxes at this time.
A conference of municipal, town.
ship, and school officers on the Range
together with Governor Floyd B. Oh
son was held in the city of Virginia
Monday afternoon. The governor
questioned the local officials as to
expenditures of municipalities today
compared with formerly, the amounts
spent for relief purposes, the num-
Der of unemployed who formerly
worked in the mines, and the out
standing bonds. If there is to be
any compromise on mining company
taxes it will be local compromise,
said the governor, though he was not
suggesting or approving such. so
far as the state of Minnesota is con-
cerned," said Governor Olson, there
will be no compromise, absolutely
none. They will pay their taxes 100
cents on the dollar
Again it is comforting to realize
that we have man in the governors
chair who places human rights above
property rights, man who under
stands the people, knows their needs
and has the courage and ability to
fight for them and carry through the
plans.

Editor Fay Cravens of Milaca, is
rather severe with those who like to
be flattered. in the following words:
when some outside agent calls on
you to let you in on some good thing
that he is selling, you can be sure
that he has spotted you as one of the
biggest chumps in the town. He knows
that nobody but a chump would fall
for his flattery and do their buying
out of town."

MARKETING RUTABAGAS

Editor AskOv American:
Please allow me a small space in
regard to the marketing of rutabagas.
Last fall we organized a rutabaga
growers association and elected a
board But what about members?
Only few saw fit to join for some
reason or other. Now there may be
different opinions but it is my belief
that every rutabaga grower around
here made more on each ton of roots
he sold than a single membership in
the association, and all on account of
the association.
l would like to urge the board to
get together and call the first meeting
right away and see if there is not
enough sentiment for joining now be-
fore the season starts. You may think
it is not necessary this year, as you
believe you will get more than last
year. You may to begin with. But
what about it later when we all want
to market roots?
Talk about cost of production. I
don't see any reason why we should
not be able to get that on roots if we
go at it the right way. And if a meet
ing is called, don't fail to invite to
this meeting the dealers and buyers
of roots, as | believe we can obtain
than to be fighting one another. So
when a meeting is called, everybody
interested in roots not only come but
join us in getting a fair price all
through the season. Yours for more
cooperation.

LESS HORSE FEED

Federal census bureau figures show
that there has been a decline of over
100000 in the number of farm horses
and mules over the country in the
last ten years. This naturally means
REIMBURSEMENT and adds to the prob
lens of the farmer, for at least 49,
100000 acres of crop land, formerly
required to produce horse feed, have
been put into other crops in the last
decade. Tractors using gasoline and
oil do not consume the products of
the northwest farms.

CUTTING RED TAPE
Mile Laos County Times)

(Mille Laos County Times)
President ROosevelt's definite and
vigorous action to restore confidence
and re-establish industry in this cOun-
try is far from being dictatorship
as some of his critics allege. 1t is
merely the common sense American
plan of cutting all unnecessary red
tape, getting at fundamentals and de-
handing definite, planned action. 1t
does not interfere with peoples views
or opinions, or freedom of speech and
action and is not to be even remotely
compared to the relationships of Ger
many and Italy, where all political
freedom has been abolished.

The man who is willing to shoulder
responsibility is the man who gets
somewhere. The fellow who is always
passing the buck and full of excuses
gets less responsibility to shoulder as
time goes on. He is tiresOme to listen
to, and it is action and not chatter
that is wanted.

NEW YORK.-While scabS are be-

of tugboats, and A. F. of L. leaders
are intimidating the workers at Morse

of arrest if they picket, the strike

At Robins Drydocks, A. F. OF L.

their fellow workers, the boiler makers
are out on strike. They are not or

to prevent any attempt by the work

trying to infllse the strike with great
er militancy Leaflets distributed are

More than 10000 men are out on

in Springfield yesterday.
Donald Richberg, counsel for the
NRA sent q scurrilous letter attack
ing the strikers, and countenancing
the most bloodthirsty methods to
smash the strike. His letter is a
virtual declaration of war by the
Roosevelt government against the
strikers, and will provoke the most
murderous attacks Of the Peabody

Pains were taken at the
White House to make it clear
that Roosevelt's invitation for
personal discussion does not mean
virtual recognition nor forerun-
ner of recognition. In White House
circles it was described as just an
exchange of letters to see whether
both sides can settle certain great
problems when seated together at
a table.
Participation in such a discussion
would, of course, not commit either
nation to any future course Of action
wrote Roosevelt to Kalinin on Oct.
10, ''but would indicate a sincere de-
sire to reach satisfactory solution
of the problems involved" Kalinin
replied on the seventeenth:
There is no doubt that difficulties,
present or arising, between two cGun-
tries. can be solved only when direct
relations exist between them; ard
that, on the other hand, they have
no chance for solution in the absence
of such relations. 1 shall take the

FAR MS RISE
In STRIKE
AGAINST NRA
Thousands Prepare to
Demand Cancellation
at Chicago Convention

ST. PAUL. Oct 20.-Unable any
longer to restrain their followers from
actions Of fierce resentment against
the whole Roosevelt agricultural pro-
gram and the way the MIRA. has af-
fected them, the leaders of the Ma
tional Farm Holiday Association we're
forced today to declare for nation
wide strike to begin this Saturday
afternoon at IL.
Over 100000 members OF the as
ISOLATION are affected.
The increasing resentment among
the farmers at the sweeping rise IN
the costs of manufactured goods, the
failure of Roosevelt to relieve their
intolerable mortgage burdens, had
risen to such degree that Governor
Bryan in a communication to Pres
ident Roosevelt warns that the farm
ers are now "a seething mass"
Government officials are unable to
conceal their alarm at the unusual
depth and prevalence of the farmers
bitterness against the Roosevelt re-
girae.
The leaders Of the present strike,
Milo Reno and his associates, are the
same people who called off the farm
strike last year on the excuse that
Roosevelt Ought to have chance. p
Many of the leaders are trying to
break the present strike by the same
cry.
The four point program OF the As
ISOLATION leaders does not include the
demand for cancellation of debts, a
demand to which the farmers are
giving increasing support.
The Association leaders merely call
for a stopping of purchases by the
farmers, and a stop to the selling of
farm goods. They also urge the nom
payment of interest until the cost
of production can be obtained by the
farmers" The working Of this de-
mand is concession to the furiously
rebellious moods of the farmers, but
it is obvious that it does not call for
cancellation in principle, but merely
sets a condition for the further pay
ments Of mortgage debts.
The National Farmers Committee
of Action, comprising thousands OF
militant farmers all over the country
is calling for huge national con-
vention to meet at Chicago on Nov
1918. This Congress will demand the
immediate cancellation of all mort
gage debts, 1t has been announced.
The United Farm League, another
militant farm group with many
branches in the farm states, is sup
porting this convention. Within the
last few weeks many foreclosures and
evictions were prevented by farm
groups organized by the UFL.
