EDOUARD HERRIOT en-
II joys the respect of the
American people because,
rather than be a party to
the dishonoring of the sig
nature of France, he went
down with his government
in Paris. He has just writ
ten, in moderate tone, on
the recent debate in the
Senate. He comedies that
we took none of the spoils
Of war; that the debts were
contracted with the under
standing that they were to
be paid; that our services in
the war and afterwards
were Of immeasurable value.
But he insists that there
must be a new adjustment
of the debts.
Just what he means by
that he does not make clear.
Presumably he has in mind
another reduction Of the
debts and that means the
lifting Of a burden from
Europe and the placing Of
the burden on this country.
He shows that he under
stands perfectly that the
debts cannot be cancelled,
that they only can be trans
ferred. But none of our
foreign friends, even those
so friendly as Herriot, indi-
cate any realization of the
fact that in the settlement
m ade some years ago
America took over an enor-
nous part of the burdens of
the debtors. Of course, the
foreign propagandists here
do nothing Of the sort. It
is feared that the effect
would not be good on the
groundlings here; that they
might say that America has
sacrificed enough.

the beauty of Stromstadt, one
of the oldest and most famous

St~omstadt is not far from

Gothenburg is a charming
city, bright, clean, gay with
fine buildings, good museums,
art galleries and fine places of
amusement. Nothing old-fash-
ioned about the old city of
Gothenburg.
Gullmarsfjorden is one of the
strangeSt and most interesting
places in Sweden or anywhere
else. It is On the west coast,
surrounded by curious rocks,
almost land-locked. It is a most

SALT, TOO-SOME ROUGH
CHUNK OF EXPERIENCE.
BITTER TO THE MIND BUT
BRACING TO THE SOUL.
Something natural, common,
elemental, which will cut
through the taste of soft, fat,

A salt lick.
Sorrow is a salt lick.
Hardship is a salt lick.
Humiliation is a salt lick.
Competition and criticism are
salt licks.
We try to avoid these things.
and we do ourselves terrible in

injury as though we denied salt
to our flesh. Do not try to
eliminate grief and pain and
difficulty from your life. Face
them, rather, and be glad for
them-and if they do not fall
naturally in your lot, go out
and seek them.
If you have not tasted sor-
row, go out and help bear the
sorrows of others.
If you have no hardships, ac-
cumulate some.
If you have never been hui
inflated, criticized, hustled,
take a few chances with your
self and get that way.
And do not flatter yourself
that you are doing a favor to
others by helping. bear their
load, or by submitting to their
criticism. You are only saving
your life by doing so.
Beware of a life that has no
bitterness, no roughness. That
life is doomed. It will die of its
own SoftneSS and sweetness.

THEY'RE AFTER SALT.
That grass, for all its
scorched gold, is succulent.
Those hills, in spite of their
grim contours, afford friendly
shelter. And the trickle Of
water in the creek is enough
for the most exacting COW.
But, however soft the bed or
nourishing the grass or sweet
the water, cows need salt, and
they will sicken and die with
out it. So, somewhere in the
hills, the cowboys dump great
salt chunks, and when need
drives the herd they come sag
ging over the meSaS and plains
to lay their tongues against
it's saving bitterness.
Men are like that, too. The
bodies of men must have salt,
as well as the bodies of cat
tie. Men have given their lives,
traded their most precious
jewels, sold their women, fought
bloody wars-to get salt. They
might have had other food in

Tremendous Task
To Balance Budget

There may be means of re-
adjustment that do not
merely transfer burdens to
us; that is the problem of
craftsmanship; but all sug-
gestions Of the sort thus far
are vague. Meanwhile, as
we read the daily papers
the absurdity of the assump-
tion that we have the sea
pacity to pay" the debts,
or any portion of the debts
Of the world, grows. Our
leaders are puzzled as to
how we are going to get
enough money to lift the
deficit and balance the bud

unbearable burden on our

watch; but, when a man keeps
'ooking at his watch, it's more
art to be a sign that he has
a brand new hea-t-interest,
waiting for him.
After 40 a man may love-
but he does not fall in love-"
He may lose his balance, but
he seldom loses his head or his
sense Of self-preservation.
A man never can under
stand why the better the alibi,
the harder it is to make a
woman believe it. But, any
woman knows that an innocent
man wouldn't take the time to
invent a really good excuse.

he discovers that success comes

that you don't WANT to do, at
the moment when you are

Private Commissions
Do Not Bind America

There is another feature
to the Herriot statement
which implies the misunder-
standing we had suspected
regarding the responsibility
of the American Government
and of the American people
for the Dawes and the
Young plans. These grew
out of no governmental
action here. At the time the
Dawes com m IS sion was
formed, the Government in
Washington made it very
clear III a formal statement
that it was not a govern
mental agency.
In truth, about that time,
or perhaps it was a; the
time the Young plan was in
incubation, a portion of the
press here editorially re-
joiced that the settlement of
the worlds problems had
been taken out of the hands
Of the laundering politicians
and responsible statesmen
and turned over to the in
finite wisdom and the deeper
penetration of great finan-
ciers.
It turns out that neither
plan has worked out salts
factorily, and now the prob
lem has been turned back
to the politicians.
It is evident, however, that
in Europe the average man
assumed that the commits
sions were agencies of our
Government and Of our peo-
pie. That is the danger in
private commissions dealing
with public problems. It is
easy to exaggerate their au-
thority in binding nations.

ONCE OVERS

Now that your income has
been reduced to the point
where you need some assistance,
are you appealing to those who
in the past were considered by
you as your poor relations?
You paid little attention to
them in your prosperous days.
You could not imagine that
you would ever need them.
What could they, in their
humble position. do to help
you?
Now you are surprised at
their lack of response to your
advances.
You feel that because of your
past position they should be
glad to entertain you in their
homes, so humble in compari-
son to what you once had.
Perhaps they do not share
your viewpoint in this matter.
Very sure are they that it is
a matter of expediency, not
love, that prompts you to come
to them at this time. .
If you had shown them as
much attention in your afflu-
ent years as you show now they
might be anxious to give all
the help that is in their power
to give.
Now they feel that they owe
you nothing through relation
Shi-N or otherwise and you can
not honestly blame them.
If you gained independence
again you would not then care
any more for them than you
did I'M the past. ~

Do you harshly censure the
person who makes an error
affecting you, and easily excuse
yourself a similar mistake?
You know conditions which
led up to your own error.
Don't you realize that those
who make mistakes may have
as good an excuse as you have
for each particular discrepancy?
Give the one who makes an
error an opportunity to explain
his mistake before you condemn
him too vigorously.
Give him a square deal even
though you are annoyed at the
errors.
Perhaps If you knew some
of the exaSperating experiences
he is having and some of the
circumstances he has to face
you might feel more lenient.
Most errors occur to ambi-
tiOus people trying to work
fast.
Nervous and high-strung,
with ambition pushing all the
time, they are the ones most
likely to make mistakes.
Most people want to do.
things the right way.
Great injustice is often done
those who make mistakes by
an adverse and unfair judg-
ment passed upon them and
their work.
Be as fair with others as you
are with yourself.
When you are you will cen
sure others less and yourself
more.

What Brought On
French Revolution

A book on the French
Revolution has recently been
published which says that
the French people were pros
porous at the time the
troubles started. That is not
true. But it makes another
point which is true-that
the difficulties over taxa
ton, over balancing the
budget, had much to do with
setting the pot to boiling.
1t started everyone to think
ing about government, and
when it was found that the
men in power did not know
what to do, the people lost
faith in them. And that
made France a happy hunt
ing ground for the ex-
tremists. Such conditions in
evitably lead to such results
in days when vast numbers
are suffering.
Under these circumstances
the average American must
hope that, through drastic
reductions in the cost of
government, it may be found
unnecessary to increase the
taxes at this time.
The Washington times., 1933-01-11

without making provisions
in our legislation for the
purpose of paying the debts
of IA nations to relieve them
of the necessity of paying
the debt themselves. The
difficulty before Congress is
so great, the new hardships
to be imposed so cruel, un-
der existing conditions, that
nothing definite has been de-
termined. There are indica-
tions that it will be a tre-
mendous task to perfect a
bill to balance our own bud
get that will com m a n d
enough votes for passage.
If President Hoover vetoes
a beer revenue act, that
source Of income is out for
the present. The sales tax has
been frowned upon by some
leaders. And the proposal is
made that a heavier burden
be placed on the people of
small incomes. These, in all
conscience, are hit hard
enough as it is. And such
purchasing power as is not
now dormant is exercised
by these people of small or
ordinary incomes. The more
these are taxed, the less they
will buy; the less they will
give; the more they will slash
their own budgets.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Two people in the first CLAM
orous throeS of love seem to
get secret thrill out of "Pity-
ing" all the rest of the people
in the world.
The feat of a woman's life
is to keep the "tie that binds"
just elastic enough to permit
a man to feel free to roam,
and just tight enough to jerk
him back to safety at the
psychological moment.
No man ever was such a
total wreck, that some woman
didn't think he was worth tow
ing to the altar and "Salvag-
ing"
A man is always surprised
that he never discovered how
argumentative a woman was
until after he married her:

Would Do For Farmer

The new emergency farm mortgage
bill recently passed by congress and
signed by President Roosevelt pro-
poses to aid the farmer by the follow
ing eight steps:

Federal Land Bank loans where de-
sirable or necessary.
4. Providing Federal Land Bank
bonds for exchange or purchase of
first farm mortgages.
5. Providing funds for refinancing
farmers debts.

CARE OF EGGS AND
PULLETS IMPORTANT

A discussion of egg and poultry
producing by Arthur Halvorson, OF
Halvorsons Poultry Ranch in Sand
stone, contains much of value to pro-
Queer readers of the Askov American.
Mr.. Halvorson's article follows:
Taking care of the old hens now
as we'll as the eggs will soon bring
a profitable margin. One way the
farmer can help raise. the price OF
eggs is to produce eggs that are fit
to eat. Seventy-five per cent of the
eggs reach the market in an over
heated condition. First, get rid of the
old roOsters, gather the eggs twice or
three times daily and put them in a
cool place. When a hen lays an egg
it is in perfect incubation for twenty
four hours at a temperature of over
80 degrees it will keep right on spoil
ing, therefore it is necessary to cool
in order to stop incubation.
THE producers are only partly to
blame for the poor eggs, the way they
are handled after they leave the farm
is where most of the harm is done.
Until eggs are handled like cream
it is going to be hard to keep people
eating eggs in the summer time. The
city housewife today cannot be sure
when she gets a dozen eggs from the
store just what kind of eggs she will
get and so she uses less. The whole
thing sums up to this: when the
quality is gone the demand has gone
- hn vi
Watch PuIIets.
Right now with egg prices low
and feed prices high there is a ten
| dency to become a little careless with
the growing stock. There is one thing
sure and that is whether you are
going to make money with your pu-
lets next year will depend on how
they went through the growing sea-
| son.
"Pullets that lay 200 to $50 eggs
per year are pullets that have had
every possible chance to grow. Where
milk is plentiful on the farm a grow
ing mash can be used consisting of
| ground corn, oats and middlings.
Don't overcrowd in your brooder coop
as it retards growth more than under
feeding. Allow pullets to roost in
trees or outside shelter rather than
take chance on a hot stuffy hen
house.
mites are one enemy of pullets
they will cause more setback at night
than the pullets can grow in the day
time. This hot weather will breed
mites by the millions. A crude car
bolic acid mixed half with kerosene
will tend to keep them away.
Fresh water is cheap and so is
shade, but they are most times lack
ing. This year of all years we should
have the pullet going into the hen
house with its battery fully charged
because, by that time the New DEAL
should have started to reach the Poul-
try farmer"
