received 1,OO5. In the SO townships
Olson received 4,O44 votes while Mel
son received 1.72O.
On the basis of the village vote in
Pine county. Governor Olson would
be losing, while on the basis of the
township, or farmer vote, he would
be receiving an overwhelming plur-
ality.
Look up the vote in most any so
called rural county of the state, and
if the total county vote was close
between Governor Olson and Mr.. Mel
son, you will find that the township
vote went to the governor while the
village vote-where they are supposed
to know more about ecOnOmics-went
to Nelson.
If it were not for the village and
small city vote out over the state the
ractiOnary newspaper writer's would
have hard time trying to figure out
that Governor Olson did not receive
splendid rural vote. The village
and city vote, together with the town
ship vote, makes up the total county
vote. But the strong conservative
and reactionery votes in the urban
centers (Which is usually the case)
naturally has to be used to make 1t
appear that the governor has lost
strength in the rural districts.
1t is strange that generally speak
ing there. should be so much differ
ence in the voting between the farmer
and small town business men. But
the difference exists.

THE RURAL" VOTE

Reactionary newspapers have re-
peatedly called attention to the fact
that Governor Olson received most of
his plurality vote in the three coun-
ties of Hennepin, Ramsey, and st.
Louis, containing the cities of Min
neapolis, St. Paul and Duluth.
The newspapers make out that the
governors rural vote was not so good.
That is true, if everything outside Of
Hennepin, Ramsey, and st. Louis
counties is to be classed as rural.
There are many villages and cities
of 500, 1000, $500, 5000, 10000 or
over throughout the state. IL the
votes in those villages and cities were
added up separately from those of the
township notes.-the real rural vote
the picture would be different
Take for instance, Pine county. In
the eight villages Governor Olson re-
ceived 698 votes while M. A. Nelson

QUALITY RUTABAGA

Editor Askov American:
At the rutabaga meeting last Sat-
urday | should have said little more
about the origin of quality. The first
essential is stock quality or strain.
| was a seed grower in Denmark As
to so years ago. To build up a su-
perior quality in a strain of ruta-
bagas We cut a chip out of every
selected root and had it analysed for
quality, the seed grown from these
selected roots we called, stOck-seed.
In this way the strain is improved
year after year. Seed grown from
these selected roots is not offered to
the trade, it would be too expensive.
1t is used as foundation stock for the
general seed growing without selec-
ton seeded late in the season and
wintered on the root producing seed
next season.
The quality of the strain depends on
the care in selection both to form
and quality. BanghOlm rutabaga seed
is grown in California and in New
England in large quantities. How
ever, l have ever since l came to
America, preferred to get my seed of
Danish ballhead cabbage and ruta-
bagas from known growers in Den
mark. even if such seed came little
higher.
The next step, as said Saturday, is
intelligent cultivation; soil In first
class condition to receive the seed
and insure quick sprouting; sufficient
seed to insure full stand and thin
ming at the right time and continued
cultivation.

have security of dividends-and of :

have security of dividends-and of a
business-tomorrow!'
mo dividends are secure, no bust
ness is safe, until the 100000 I'M
employed today go back to work. How
can the country do it? We point
humbly but confidently to the Hearn
plan.
LET dividends wait, let profits

people buy mOre-use more. That's
the way to stimulate trade-put men

we claim no exclusive rights to the
Hearn plan. Again We urge all Amer
lean industry to use it. Maybe it is
revolutionary-but it is working!"
Then follows summary showing
how it has worked in two months:
"A thousand more employees at work
A million more customer trans actions.
Two million dollars more in sales"
Some will sneeringly declare that
this is "Only an advertising stunt"
Perhaps they are right. But that does
not alter the fact that the advertise
ment states great truth.
The greed for immediate profits is
one of the most serious obstacles in
the way of national recovery. The
cotton garment industry is fair ex-
ample. Last year the books of the
industry showed a deficit of $4,000,
900; this year, profit of 100000, 900.
Nevertheless, the industry battles
against every suggestion looking to
increased wages or shortened hours.
Our profits come first" chorus in
duStry and finance. 1t is refreshing
to find one business concern which
recognizes the stupidity and futility of
such a policy.

ELECTION LESSONS
(Wabasha County Leader)


Along with the achievements and
disappOintments of the last election
three things stand out.
First is that the people of Mime
sofa will not tolerate return of an
administration that does not include
in its program definite and specific
measures to correct the conditions
which have come about as "a result Of
practices permitted by government B.
G. Before the CraSh).
Second, the people of the state will
not tolerate the extreme measures ad-
vocated by the left wing" of the
Farmer-Labor party.
Third, the use of the ballot under
the American system operates as a
balance wheel to prevent unwanted
legislation 1t may work slowly, but
like the wheels of fate, it "grinds ex-
ceeding fine"
Il told you SOS" are general after
election, but analysis of results should
be good measuring sticks for conduct
in future elections.
Governor Olson should and no doubt
does realize, that but for the fact
that the attempts at fusion led to
confusion, he would have lost this
election. Part of the normal Demo-
cratic vote went to Nelson and part to
Olson, instead of straight three cor
nered campaign or a fusion against
the governor as might have been ex-
pected with strong candidate on
either of the other tickets. The gov
ernOr's plurality was too small for
comfort, and he will do well to read
the signs pointing to government
that will retain the good features of
our present system and the elimina-
tion of it's evils, rather than attempt
to build an entirely new social struc-
ture with such a majority vote against
his program as was evidenced in the
total secured by his two opponents
and the vote for the conservative
house and senate.
Voters can realize that after all, it
is they who are boss. Politicians too,
should know that they are but en-
ployes to do the voters bidding, and
that it is up to them to find out what
the voters want or find themselves out
in the cold after the next election day.

T. B. ERADICATION,
TOPIC OF MEETING

Mrs. E. B. Linsley, Pine county pub
lie health director for the sale of
the Christmas Seal attended a state
meeting Friday in st. Paul. DR..
Charles Mayo of Rochester, president
of the Minnesota Public Health Asso-
citation, was chairman of the meeting
and gave very interesting paper on
the three types of tuberculosis that
exist in Minnesota at the present time.
the Avian or bird type, the bovine
type, and the human type. Other
prominent medical men were DR.. E. l..
Tuohy of Duluth, DR.. E. C. Gale of
Minneapolis, and DR.. e. r. Long Of
PhippS Institute, Philadelphia. All
specialists in tuberculosis work and
pioneers in the fight against the dis
ease, gave their views and urged the
continuance of sanatoria treatment
and the sale Of the Christmas Seal, the
funds from which go to carry on the
national state, and local programs.
During the past year DR.. F. F.. Cal
lahan, Superintendent of the Pokeg-
ANA Sanatorium, has conducted tu-
berculin testing survey including the
schools of Hinckley, Willow River
Kerrick, Sandstone, Finlayson, Glover
ton, Bruno, NickersOn, Beroun, Rock
Creek, and Markville. In 1890 the
school at Askov was tested. In 1881
Pine City and Sandstone held tuber-
culosis clinics, and in 1882 Brook Park
was tested.

THANKSGIVING

AS another Thanksgiving day ap-
proaches, it is only natural in these
hours of reconstruction and economic
change to ask ourselves if we have
anything to be thankful for. Some
there may be who reassemble the
remnants of dreams, of ambitions,
and past resources with a tinge of
bitterness. And truly there are thou
sands in this nation of ours repre-
Senting an all too large a number
who are in want. But generally
speaking comparing our present day
living standards with those of the
Pilgrims who landed long ago on the
wild coast of this country, we have
much to be thankful for. On the
other hand, it is unfortunate that
man in his onward and impatient
march to new conqueStS and still
higher standards of luxury and ma
terial gain sometimes loses sight of
a proper perSpectiye-tO forget the
Thanksgiving of young America
founded by pioneers who stepped upon
the unknown New England shore long,
long ago.
Plymouth Rock still endures, and
the angry waves beat through harsh
winters against it where once men
and women and children climbed to
safety from their small ships, I'M
afraid, immortal and courageous to
build cabins in the wilderness and
battle against almost insurmountable
hazards and hardships. That first
Thanksgiving, pinched and bleak as
it was, found them kneeling in thank
full prayer, high of hope, invincible
and content with the mere shreds Of
future comfort. Fathers. sons, daugh-
tiers and mothers were in constant
combat with the elements for their
self preserva alton. Who will say that
they had not visions of a brighter
future for their posterity. They were
thankful for little. We should be
thankful for more. Not only should
our thankfulness be confined to
words, but We should align ourselves
with that group who will lead this
country into better economic cOnd;-
tions; conditions which will deal more
leniently with the common people.
Little by little the new settlers
pushed inward and conquered seem
ingly insurmountable odds. Each
Thanksgiving found them a little
more entrenched in their efforts to
build a substantial home. So it is
today. Though the way seems dark
occasionally, there is a way out for
us if we look forward to new trails
instead of following the same too
much worn trail.
Thanksgiving to these forefathers
of ours was significant as a symbol
of gratitude and of reverent tribute
to Immortality which was to bring a
wilderness into a broad eXpanse Of
fertile acres. Never once in defeats,
set backs and grim reverses did it
occur to them to falter or to be
afraid of the future. From Daniel
Boone to Davy Crockett they were
fighters in the truest sense, pioneers
in a deeper sense than a mere blaz-
ing of trails.
Descendants of such pioneers as
these and others who came here from
foreign shores to help in the upbuild-
ing, we cannot endure system where
many of our fellows are being trod-
den under. We can be thankful for
the opportunity to reach out and give
them a lift wherever possible.
