SCENIC ATTRACTIONS

Marking an innovation in Official
Minnesota road maps, the large size
mans of the state highway depart
ment this year for the first time are
designed definitely to advertise the
states scenic and vacation attrac-
lions and draw tourist business.
The maps will be issued next week.
if was announced by N. w. Elsberg'
highway commissioner. They Will
carry on the back side attractive pic
lures of Minnesota lakes, rivers and
resort regions, with a discussion OF
vacation opportunities in the Land or
Ten Thousand Lakes.
Each year the highway department
sends thousands of its maps to tourist
information centers in every state In

exceedingly small cost, we found it
possible to add life and interest and
tourist appeal to the map this year.
We believe the change will aid great

FARM ORGANIZERS

Some over 100 people gathered in
the d. B. S. hall Sunday night to
hear talks by Mrs. Alfred ITALIA and
James Flower under auspices of the
Askov unit of the National Farmers
Holiday Association. Mrs. ITALIA is
the wife of a United Farmers League
organizer and Mr.. Flower is secre-
tary of the Minnesota United Farm
erS League.
Mrs. ITALIA told of the arrest and
conviction of herself, husband and an
Indiana farmer under the charge or
obstructing the law. Mr.. ITALIA was
called to Warsaw, Ind, in his work
in organizing the farmers and while
there was asked by committee OF
farmers to assist in protesting farm
foreclosure sale. 1t was while at
tempting to stop this sale that he
with his wife and farmer companion
were arrested. This happened in
January this year and Mr.. ITALIA is
still serving a six months sentence.
His fine was fixed at $500 plus $5S
in costs which he will have to serve
out if not paid at the end of his
sentence. She told of many injus-
tees they received at the hands OF

taken at the door to help pay for
the hall and to go toward paying of
Mr.. Tiala's fine.
Mr.. Flower stressed the necessity
of organization among the farmers
and stated that no one but actual
farmers should belong, since so many
times farmers suffered from false
leadership. Mr.. Flower stated that
his organization did not enter a COM
munity where another farm organiza-
ton was functioning.

LEGION PLAY WAS
EVERYTHING CLAIMED

That all acting talent isn't in Hol-
lywOod nor on the radio was evil
denced by the manner a play was
staged in Pine City and Sandstone
during the past several days, entitled,
THE Worlds All Right Both plays
were successful both in the attrac-
ton of crowds and in the performance
of the players. The play at the
county seat was staged Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of last week and
at Sandstone Monday and Tuesday
nights of this week.
Over a hundred people took part
in the play at Sandstone with the
lead characters being played by Sam
Gjertson, Margaret Tyre, Harold
johnson, Albert Johnson and William
H. Barnick.
Elaborate costumes, arrangements
and excellent acting made the audi
ence forget for the time being that
they were looking upon home talent
and the presentation of the play it
self bespoke good coaching and con-
scientious cooperation on the part
of the actors and actresses.
HILARIOUS comedy" as announced
previously was no eXaggeration and
many were those whose sides ached
upon leaving the New Theatre after
the play. The play had its setting
in radio studio and showed the diff
ficulties and glories experienced by
a struggling radio company and an
nouncer.
The play was sponsored by the
American Legion posts of both Pine
City and Sandstone.

MEMORIAL PRAYER
IS II YEARS OLD

While Rev. HI. G.. Strandskov, who
recently moved with his family to
Askov to live, was in charge OF the
Danish church at Hutchinson IN 1873
he was called upon to give the Eng
liSh invocation at Memorial day eXer-
cises in the park. Rev. StrandskoV
uttered the following prayer which
thrilled the souls of more than
thousand listeners:
I'VE are gathered to celebrate our
national Memorial day and we Will
say unto our souls: My soul, rejoice In
the Lord and do not forget any of His
good gifts!
I'VE thank Thee, Our Heavenly Fa-
Their for this great and bounteOus
country of ours!
I'VE thank Thee for the free civil
government and institutions that we
here have-by the people, of the peo-
pie, and for the people!
I'VE thank Thee for each and every
one of the great and noble leaders
that Thou hast raised up among US
in peace-times as well as in war-times
to actualize, to conserve and to per-
petuate our free civil government and
institutions!
I'VE thank Thee for the general and
steadfast loyalty unto and the general
and steadfast support of our civil gov
eminent and institutions by our poly
geneous and many-tongued citizenship
in times of peace as well as in times
of war!
I'VE thank Thee that our country
in its short Independent history has
achieved such a pre-eminent and hon
ored position among the civilized ma
tions on earth!
Our Heavenly Father, with all the
sacred and precious memories in our
minds of Thy divine care and bless
ings in the past we devoutly pray
blessings for a still more hOnored flu
ture of our country!
Quotes Lincoln.
Our Heavenly Father. in times
when the public press of our land
every day is flooded with scandalouS
tales of glazing lawlessness and crime
in public as well as private life, we
pray Thee, let the words of our noble
and honest Abraham Lincoln ring in
our ear and hearts when he said: Let
every American. let every lover of
liberty, every well-wisher of his pos
terity, swear by the blood of the
Revolution never to violate in the
least particular the laws of the coun-
try and never to tolerate their viola
ton by others. AS the patriots of '76
did to the support of the Declaration
of Independence, so to the support of
our Constitution and laws let every
American pledge his life, his property
and his sacred honor! Let every
American remember that to violate
the laws is to trample on the blood
of his own and his childrens liberty!
Our Heavenly Father, we humbly
ask Thee-help us to deserve peace
and prosperity! Spare us from wars
and the destruction, calamity and de-
mOralization of wars!
| Help us to deserve and to hOnOr
and appreciate national, state and
more local public servants who are
dedicating and sacrificing themselves
to actualize free civil government by
the people, of the people and for the
people!
"Spare us from dishonest, greedy
and demoralizing political, industrial
