M. & M. Baccalaureate Service


flowed, the Twin City opera house
was drawn Sunday evening, the oc-
casion being the annual bacca-
laureate service for the graduating
class of the M. & M. high school
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
Howard H. Scott, pastor of the Nc
Connelsville Methodist Episcopal
church. Rev. w. j. Mccarthy, pas
tor Of the Methodist Protestant
church, presided and made the in
vocation, and Rev. T. E. Leonard of
the Presbyterian church pronounced
the benediction
The members of the graduating
class, 53 in number, in caps and
gowns, and accompanied by Supt. j.
M. Turner, and other members Of
the faculty, occupied seats in the
front part of the middle section Of
the auditorium, entering during the
playing of the opening number by
the orchestra.
The stage was charmingly decor
ated with ferns, irises, columbine,
ETC., the work of the members Of the
Junior class, and made a pictur-
esque setting for the large group Of
girls composing the glee club, and
who under the direction of Miss
Eliza Plum, instructor of music in
the local schools, rendered two
special understood of Our
Fathers by G.. Warren, and "Send
Out Thy Light" by Gounod. Other
vocal numbers, led by the glee
club and orchestra, were the hymns
"Come Thou Almighty King" and
LEAD On, O King Eternal The
high school orchestra, also under
the direction of Miss Plum, and with
Miss jeanette Martin, pianist, fur
nished besides the march at the
opening of the program, another
special number, Barcarolle-from
Tales of Hoffman, by Offenbach.
DR.. Scott chose as his sermon
theme "a Chaplet of Pearls" using
as his Scripture reading the third
chapter of First Kings, beginning
with the fifth verse in which King
Solomon asked Of God, and Was
granted, wise and understanding
heart and because of which choice
Solomon was also granted that which
he had not asked-both riches and
honor. After expressing his re-
alization of the responsibility de-
volving upon one who presents a
baccalaureate sermon, ard giving
some explanation of what the word
baccalaureate is derived from, the
speaker enumerated what he con-
sidered some of the pearls to be de-
sired in life-first the pearl of
good health, a priceless one, to be
desired by all: the pearl of time-a
precious one, once lost, not to be
regained; the pearl of wonder, all
important in the getting of knowl-
edge; the pearl of inf1uence-one
of life's greatest, most far reaching
and most responsible possessions;
the pearl of affection which guides
to choice of the right companion
ship; the pearl of purity, without
which life must be ignoble; and
last-most comprehensive, and
greatest of all, for time and for
eternity, the Pearl Of Great Price,
Jesus Christ, in the heart and life.
1t was splendid ''chaplet of
pearls" that DR.. Scott presented,
showing thought, careful prepar-
alton, and deep realization of
right values. 1t was well received
and highly appreciated by the large
audience, and is spoken of as one Of
the best of the many good discourses
that have been given on similar oc-
casiOns.

Forestry Camps In S. e. Ohio

1t is stated that forestry camps
are to be located in Washington,
Noble and Morgan counties. Under
terms offered by the government, it
is said the owners of the land to be
reforested get no actual money for
the use Of their land for the en-
campment. They do however get
their timber lots cleaned up in ap-
proved shape and certain of their
fields reforested. The camps will be
built in approved fashion, with san
itary provisions, to be made subject
to rules prescribed by the u. S. reg
ular army.
Mr.. Fred G.. Barkhurst of the
State Highway Department was in
Columbus Tuesday being called in
connection with the above matter.
He says that the state wants from
500 to 1000 acres in Morgan coun-
ty, in order to open a camp. The
camp would require about 200 men.
Soil erosion is one of the principal
features of the plan, in stopping
washes and gullies. The acreage
does not have to be together, but is
to be in various parts of the county,

MALE CHORUS TO
GIVE PROGRAM
Proceeds of Musical Entertainment
Will be Turned Over to Church
Treasury.

Realizing the fact that almost every
one enjoys a varied musical program
the Askov Male Chorus, under the
direction of Mrs. Alfred l.. Nielsen,
has made plans to sponsor such a
program in the D. B. S. hall Monday
night, Oct. 9, with the proceeds going
entirely to the benefit of the Danish
Lutheran church in Askov.
The male chorus singers who have
made several pleasing appearances in
this community and others of the
county will have large part in the
rendering of the program and will at
tempt to be at their best in the sew
eral selections which have been chosen
for them in the program. The chorus
will be ably abetted by other must
clans of the community who will rem
der instrumental and vocal selections.
Readings will also have their part and
fish pond, baited with "sheckles"
will issue pleasing gifts for the kid
dies, and candy booth will supply
food for the sweet tooths" that hap
pen to be at the program.
After every one has had enough
singing and musical entertainment to
justify a price paid to gain admis-
sion to a grand opera, lunch will be
sold and round games will be played.
1t is requested that everyone bring
song books.
A large crowd is wanted so that
some badly needed money can be
turned over to the church. See the

BAGA GROWERS
SET MINIMUM
Strong Membership Being Signed to
Withhold Product From Mar.
ket for Fair Price.

The Rutabaga Growers Association
which was organized in Askov Sept.
%, has now spread so that there are
similar units in Sandstone and Fin
layson with complete sets of officers.
A unit will likely be established at
Kerrick and possibly at Willow River,
but at this time there is nothing def
mite from the latter two places. Dr.
rectors from the Askov unit attended
the organization meetings at Finlay-
son and Sandstone and later reports
from both of these communities state
that the rutabaga growers are sign
ing up Fundamentally just as fast as
they can be contacted, thus it is ex-
pected that there will be nearly 1000
membership among the growers with
in a few days.
The Askov unit officers organized
as follows: Chr. Frederiksen, chair
man, H. r. Buck, vice chairman;
julius Slot secretary, Owe Herman
sen, treasurer and Carl Madsen the
fifth director.
With the exception of H. r. Buck
the Askov board drove over to Cum
berland, Wis.,, to interview the grow
ers of that community. 1t was ar
ranged to call meeting of the grow
ers over there for Friday evening at
which time members of the local
board will go over again to assist
them in organizing. Cumberland,
Wis, and this part of Pine county
are practically the only communities
in the United States where good quail
ity rutabagas are being grown for
market.
Directors from the different units
that have been established met in
Askov Tuesday evening and discussed
the various plans of procedure for
raising the price of the bagas. Mem
bers from the various units will meet
regularly and discuss possible price
increases; as soon as the first In
crease is decided upon a post card
will be mailed to every member. Then
the main thing for success, it is evil
dent, is to stick to the established
price. They hope to be able to order
a price increase very soon.

tions any time during his speech.
Asked about the MIRA, he said that is
about like an Aspirin pill to sick
man. He expressed the belief that
the civilian conservation corps is d
part of the military machine that is
being built up, and that war is COM
ing again, not in several years, but
rather a matter of months. The
speaker said that he opposed the
World war and as a consequence
served time behind the prison bars
which he is not ashamed of.
The speaker answered many ques-
lions and invited folks to the annual
meeting of the Farmers Union to be
held at Montevideo on Oct. "a, 25,
and 26.
H. Sandell of Hinckley, secretary of
the county Holiday organization,
spoke of the recent meeting of farm
leaders in Des Moines and the code
that was drawn up and presented to
authorities in Washington. He said a
strike or holiday from marketing
farm produce will be declared if the
code is not accepted. John Percy OF
Pine City, the county president, urged
more farmers to join the Holiday As
ISOLATION for the cooperation Of all
farmers is needed.
H. RI Buck briefly told of the So
cialist lectures to be presented In
Askov during the winter months and
invited the public, small charge to
be made for the course.
At the outset Chris. Frederiksen,
chairman of the local Holiday unit,
told of the progress made with the
Rutabaga situation in the way of set
ting prices and how other commun-
tiles in northern Pine county are Co
operating. About 400 members have
signed up so far for Withholding the
roots until the set price is paid by
truckers or local dealers.
Rev. A. e. Frost introduced the
principal speaker of the evening. Mr..
Miller, and said that he met him al
the Continental Congress meeting. He
added that Mr.. Miller is not the type
who is black-mailing others to fur.
Their himself, and eulogized him fol
his truthfulness and other good v1r.
tues. Mr.. Miller, said the pastor. Is
a man who speaks the truth and Is
satisfied to let that be as effective as
it can.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG sTRANDVOLD

1t becomes increasingly evident
that the principal object of the four
teenth annual general assembly Of
the League of Nations now in pro-
gress at Geneva, Switzerland, is to
reach some sort of an international
disarmament agreement. 1t also be-
comes evident that no such agreement
is in sight.
There are very serious Instructions;
among them one is mentioned in Eu-
rope as outstanding, namely, the con-
tinued increase of American naval
ornaments, now going on despite
friendly appeals from the British gov
eminent to postpone execution of the
construction program until such a
time when it becomes clear whether
or not agreement can be obtained
about disarmament. To the British
appeal the United States responded
with a blunt refusal.
Also, the German insistence on the
right to increase ornaments, proves
a stumbling block. Germany claims
that it must be of equal strength with
the other great powers, so that either
they must reduce their ornaments or
Germany must be given the right to
increase it's own. France is out
spoken against this policy, at least,
as long as Adolf Hitler is the chan
cellor of Germany.
Against Disarmament.
At Sinaia in Rumania the diplo-
mats of The Little Entente have met
in a conference. agreeing to resolu-
ton which maintains that "the mo-
ment for effective disarmament has
not yet arrived" Czecho-Slovakian
Rumanian and Jugo-Slavian states

S ia ement which, also, seems
prompted by fear of Chancellor Hitler
