ARMS BUDDIES
BACK CUDAHY
AS ENVOY
Has All the Equipment and
More for Diplomat Post,
Says Harry Costello

By HARRY COSTELLO
Veteran Of the American Mill
tary Campaign in Arctic
Russia, 1918-19.l
Gentleman and scholar.
War hero, linguist and writer.
Big game hunter, agricultural
ist, business man, diplomatist.
Honest. loyal, just, strong;
withal, human.
Trusted friend.
There you have John Cudahy,
Of Cudahy, Wis, probable choice
and favorite of President Roose-
velt for next United States am
bassador to Cuba.
War Proved Mettle
John Cudahy fought through
Americas strange military cam
paign at the top Of the world,
in Arctic Russia, from September
Of 1918 to June of 1919. He not
only won the affections of every
one of us who fought with him,
but our admiration, our respect
as we'll. To us, no man may sur
pass John Cudahy in matters Of
moral strength and mental fibre.
We know him! He met our exact
ing tests in the crucible of war;
he was not found wanting. It
was no ordinary war, either; it
was one which tried the souls
of men even beyond the decisive
trials of Valley Forge.
Strengthen mind, of charater,
Of courage-is John Cudahy's
dominating characteristic. We
who fought with him, froze with
him, served with him, suffered
with him-well, we just know!
We know better than any man
ever may know.
John Cudahy is an American
to his finger tips. He is a
scholar, which means that he is
informed, tolerant "a thinker.
He lives up to the best traditions
of the sportsman. He is a
fighter, too, and when the fight
ing is heaviest he is at his best.
He is a diplomatist in the strict
est sense of the word, for he can
manage men. He has the mental
equipment of a StrategiSt and a
diplomat; he proved it, on
numerous occasions, on the
frozen steppes of Arctic Russia
during the long winter of 1918-19.
GAIL Wool and Wide"
This man came to our regi-
ment, the 339th Infantry, U. s.
A., subsequently Americas for
gotten regiment) from the so
called silk-stocking brigade. He
proved himself all wool and a
yard wide.
Veterans Of the Arctic Russian
campaign have undying faith in
John Cudahy. We will match
his brain against any brain on the
face of this earth-that great is
our confidence in his mental abil-
ity. We will match his character,
his sportsmanship against those
of any man-we are that certain
of his strength.
If it is that strong man is re-
quired for the post at Havana, a.
regiment of men who really know
John Cudahy commend him to
our President and Commander-in-
Chief. He will not fail his chief
or his country, just as he did not
fail his troops and his country in
the dismal and frozen SwampS Of
Arctic Russia in 1913.

USE HOME PRODUCTS

Usually when one raises a garden
he doesn't go and buy his neighbor's
crop and let his stay on the plant
or in the ground until it spells; he
usually eats his first. This is not
selfishness, it is just good business
sense. Governor Olson's proclama-
ton designating October 30 to Novem-
Der as Minnesota Potato week to
remind the people of the state who
are interested in the buying, selling
and consuming of potatoes to form
the habit of using their own potatoes
and to stimulate the demand for
them. The proclamation further
states that in order to stimulate the
demand of the potato within as we'll
as without the state, it behooves every
one engaged in the potato industry in
Minnesota to put up quality stock as
good or better than stock which is
now being shipped in from other Sec
tions. Minnesota is advantageously
located for the production Of high
class potatoes-let us use and appre-
ciate this crop and thus make bet
ter market.
1t is after all spirit of co-opera-
ton when we eat and use the pro-
ducts of our own hands and not step
on our neighbor's toes by shipping
our products into their market to
compete with what they produce. If
Minnesota people use what they pro-
duce as much as possible and Wiscon-
sin uses what it produces and so on
with all the other states and countries
of the universe. then just the surplus
of each state and country will be
thrown into competition. The pio-
neers of the wilderness did not worry
about exchanges. When they needed
some clothing they spun some cloth.
When they needed some bread they
ground some flour and so on. If we
keep our industries in healthy con-
dition they will keep the dollars cir
culating at home.

WHAT ABOUT BEER!
for ASkOy American

Editor ASkOv American:
There is an impression that con-
gress has declared 3.2fo beer nom
intoxicating. That is not so; congress
did not define intoxicating liquors;
but simply permits brewers to make
a beer which the brewers and nearly
everyone else with experience knows
is intoxicating.
The actual report on which con-
gress bases its alibi for permitting
this present intoxicating beer con-
tains the statement that in a certain
period of observation nearly half the
arrests for drunkenness in England
were caused by beer alone. (note u
Every argument of science, every
argument of sociologists, every argu-
ment of the churches that opposed
beer was scrapped by congress; and
the beer bill as now enacted and
signed by the president follows every,
suggestion made by the brewers or
their lobbyists. (note y
Congress has enacted a brewers
lie for the sake of beer-bloc politics
and a possible revenue of $15O,000,00
But to get that much in the
treasury a hard pressed people will
have to spend over the bar nearly
one billion five hundred million dol
lars. (note 81 The brewer then once
more becomes a gigantic competitor
of the grocer, the baker, the milk
man, the clothing store. More chill
dren than ever will go hungry, be-
cause the same money cannot be spent
for milk and beer. The liquor trade
gets SO and gives Uncle Sam $1-and
the brewer keeps more of that re-
naming SO than any other manufac-
turer in the world. Less people are
benefited in beer than in any other
industry.
Congress may fool the courts with
this 1920 beer; but it cannot fool the
laws of nature; and there is no meth
cd by which either political party
or a brewer-controlled congress can
repeal the effects of alcohol; they go
down the corridors of time without
deviation.

He outlined the situation facing
masses of farmers and city workers
under the New Deal" He told how
under the MIRA poor and middle class
farmers and city workers have been
forced to strike due to initiation. pro-
cessing taxes and the criminal de-
struction of cotton and food. Since
the city workers are unable to buy
due to higher initiation and tax prices
they have struck against the starva-
ton wage codes throughout the
United States, The speaker pointed
out the fact that the wheat bonus"
evidently has not helped the North
Dakota farmers since that state
started the farm strike by placing an
embargo on wheat because present
prices hardly pay the cost of market
ing.
Because of the deepening crisis the
second Farmers National conference
will be held at Chicago Nov. Is to 10.
This conference is being called by
the Farmers National Committee Of
Action composed of representatives
of various farm organizations for the
purpose of drawing up a real dirt
farmers program of struggle and de-
mands against the food monopOlies
and finance capital. The conference
will also take into consideration the
common interests of the city workers
with the masses of farmers, knowing
that only through unity of purpose
and struggle can they force the nee
essary concessions from the food mon
opolies and Wall Street bankers. The
Willow River Farmers Holiday Asso-
citation elected Joe Jaglowski, Rut-
ledge, Joe Michog and Arthur Bor-
chardt of Willow River, as their, dele
gates to the Chicago farmers con-
ference.
The farmers decided that the stand
ing strike committee, Stanley Zig
mant, Joseph Jaglowski, Arthur Bor-
chardt. Joe Michog, and Joe Uiher,
will go into action to enforce the
strike. Joe Jaglowsh and A. Bor-
chardt were chosen to attend the
county strike committee of action at
Hinckley, which will outline the steps
to be taken to enforce the strike
throughout the county and also the
whole north of the state if necessary.

GOOD WORK

Those responsible for and who pre-
pared the Minnesota exhibit for the
Worlds Fair at Chicago are to be
complimented on their good and eff
fective work to the state i'm the way
of advertising. 1t is estimated that
already over 3.25O,00O people. more
than the population of Minnesota and
North Dakota combined, have viewed
the display and it is expected that
by the end of the Exposition the pop
ulation of South Dakota can be added
to the total.
BY routing many of these visitors
through the state on their return to
their homes and giving them litera-
ture for inducement to future visits
the exhibit has been worthwhile and
helps to focus attention on the state
as a land of fertile fields, lakes and
progressive citizenry instead of the
wilderness that some distant neigh
bors think it to be. The $4,000 spent
in the preparation of the display has
been returned in fresh vacation
money already this year, it is esti-
mated.

A POOR EXAMPLE

1t is difficult to believe, but if what
the Milwaukee Sentinel charges is
true, then it does not denote any
great degree of exemplary capacity.
So the story goes, DR.. Clarence
Spears, football coach at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and former coach
of the University of Minnesota foot
ball team, while attending the game
between his team and the University
of Illinois at Champaign, ILL.,, recent
ly, attacked a photographer and
ruined his camera just because he
INSTRUCTED the Doctors view of the
game. According to the story in the
newspaper the victim was attacked
without warning.
Whether warning was given or
wasn't is immaterial. if the incident
is true as represented then a change
should be made in the coaching de-
partment of the Wisconsin university,
for that kind of example before the
youth of the school will not build
manhood or craftsmanship.

A PREDICTION

Editor ASkOv American:
James P. Warbasse wrote in his
book, "Co-operative Democracy" pub
lished in the year of 1923 as follows:
From the great crises of the past,
we may attempt to judge the future.
We are living in the presence of con-
ditions similar to those that charac-
terized the early stages of the fall
of the Roman Empire and the French
Revolution. The proportion of peo-
pie occupied in productive employ
ment has declined: the proportion oc-
cupied in commerce has increased;
interest and dividend-bearing secur-
tiles have multiplied; and the COM
pleXities and costs of maintaining
the present system have become so
great that a point of unbalance is
reached. The bubble of inflated val
ues is on the verge of bursting .
lone dreadful prospect confronts
the world: that is, the emminent pos
sibility that the existing order may
go to destruction so completely and
so rapidly, and the people may be so
ineffective, that no system can be
created in time to take it's place. i.
Those who are occupied in revo-
lutionary propaganda proclaim the
deficiencies of the present system.
The people are urged to overthrow
it and have done with capitalism.
This is the most futile of occupations
The present system is overthrowing
itself. The revolutionists may save
their voices; they can stand quietly
aside and without raising hand wit
ness the events for which they cry.
The changes are coming-coming
faster than the people are able to
adjust themselves to the changes
Anyone may judge for himself how
much of the above prediction has
come true; no comments are needed.
Let all of us rather use our intel
ligence and influence in building that
democratic cooperative society in the
best possible way so it may be able
to withstand the shock from the cata-
clysm when it comes.
And instead of spending our
strength in tearing down our present
system of government, let us rather
use our surplus energy in propping
it up here and there so it may last
and keep on working until that day
when we have the other new system
perfected so far that there is a rea-
sonable chance for it to survive.
In doing that the great majority Of
this and the coming generation will
be saved from much hardship and
suffering.

other resolution is to be sent to Pres
ident Roosevelt demanding that he
use his power to stop the importation
of farm produce and cocoanut oil un-
til we receive cost of production for
our own farm produce. Several pro-
duce houses in the county are closed
already and truckers are turned back,
as one reported at the meeting being
turned back at Beroun. The strike
committee of the county consisting of
about two hundred have solemnly
promised to make the strike effective
and to call on those who may persist
In still giving away their farm pro-
duce for bargain. Every farmer

ASKS STRIKE COOPERATION
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
We, the members of the Farmers
Holiday Association, are striking be-
cause we want a square deal for ag-
riculture, the cost of production for
our products. Let us all stick and
by this method we will win. also we
feel that we are entitled to the CO
operation of the business people in
the villages and cities of the country.
We do not think the strike will be
lasting as expectations are that Pres
ident Roosevelt will accept the Farm
ers' code and to "a greater degree
concentrate the efforts of official
Washington to our problems.
The threat of the strike, we feel,
has been largely responsible for the
speech made Sunday night by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the revaluation of
gold bringing on initiation, a part Of
our program.
Let's all stick, farmers and towns
people in behalf of more prosperity
for the northwest through cost of
production prices for farm products
consumed in the United States; re-
flation of currency; MIRA code for ag-
riculture; refinancing of farm indebt-
edness at low interest rate, and a
national moratorium on mortgage
foreclosures.
Methods to obtain our demands
peacefully, Withhold all farm products
from the markets. We will not picket
unless local units decide it to be
necessary.

HOLIDAY Is ACTIVE IN COUNTY

Editor Askov Americana:
AS you all know a farm strike has
been called and every liberty loving
farmer is requested to withhold from
market all farm produce including
butterfat. A rush meeting was called
and held in the Hinckley Legion hall
Saturday night with very good at
tendance from all over the county.
At this meeting it was decided that
each township appoint a strike COM
mittee of eight to meet at the village
hall in Hinckley Tuesday, Oct. "a, at
10 a. m. Several of the Hinckley
business men attended this meeting
and the strike situation was discussed
from every angle.
The strike committees met at the
village hall on Tuesday morning and
the spirit for a real fight was very
good. 1t was reported the Pine City
creamery was closed by a vote Of six
to one, and the private creameries
in the county have promised to close
as soon as the cooperative creameries
close. 1t was decided to call on every
creamery in the county on Wednesday
beginning at Rock Creek and orders
were sent to the board Of directors to
meet with the committee at certain
hours, for each place. Two resolu-
lions were passed on this meeting,
one to be sent to state and national
officers of the Holiday Association
demanding. that they enter into no
compromise in excluding any farm
produce If cost Of production is OBJ
tanned until cost of production is Sc
cured for all farm commodities. The
