MONEY is THE TROUBLE
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
They are again writing about regi-
mentation, the latest scare word used
by the reactionary forces of the coun-
try. They claim liberty is jeopardized
and that if rugged individualism is not
allowed free play America will no
longer be what it was and will gradu-
ally deteriorate. Whether most Amer
leans think that we are the last thing
in efficiency and good government ]
am not prepared to say, but if such
is the case we are due for consider
able establishment.
Naturally people, who live with
little effort and enjoy all the comforts
of modern civilization do not want
any change. They think, at least in
most cases, that the reason they are
we'll off is on account of their SUI
perior qualities. The fact that they
inherited the money, obtained same
by graft and corruption or that they
were lucky does not occur to them.
They resent anything that will tend to
make a change. They are conserva-
tive and do not care to reason. The
fact that our economic system is i'm
possible they do not care to think
about.
America has not any frontier any
who for some reason can not make a
living where they are. We have
reached that stage where each locali-
ty in the long run must take care of
itself, urban or suburban. The trans
fer of large sums of money from one
locality to another or from one class
to another cannot long last under this
state of affairs. A debtor and cred
itor class will soon be built up. This
in my opinion is the main trouble
now. Our trouble is monetary. 1t is
not the age old trouble of production
but plainly one of monetary and dis
tribution origin. This being the case,
monetary reforms are necessary in my
opinion. Little lasting results can be
obtained by applying any remedies to
production.
Money is our medium of exchange.
Instead of a Minnesota farmer ship
ping a bushel of potatoes to CalifOr-
mia in exchange for bushel of
oranges he sells his potatoes. locally
and receives a sum of money for them
and buys his oranges from his local
merchant. This is the efficient way
of doing it. But if the farmer cannot
obtain a decent price for his potatoes
and the orange grower can not obtain
decent price for his oranges the
transaction becomes impossible and
does not take place. The railroad,
the commission men and middle men
of all kinds do not benefit, and bust
ness becomes stagnant. Why have
we arrived at that state of affairs
now? Is it because of the fact that
the farmer will not raise potatoes or
the grower will not raise oranges, or
is it on account of poor railway or
commission service? No.
1t is on account of monetary trouble.
Our medium of exchange, namely
money, is controlled by few. They
control the industrial life of the coun-
try by having gained control of money
and credit. They got the U. S. gov
eminent, states, cities, counties, farm
ers and all industry so far. in debt,
that to grant them future loans will
cause general bankruptcy. They sit

QUOTES SCRIPTURE

Editor Askov American:
To me it looks like pilgrim" is a
little puzzled about Communism, athe-
ism and Christian faith. He says,
''The doctrine of Communism is said
to be atheistic." And then he writes
as if he thinks it is.
The two doctrines have no relation

ship of wealth, and atheism is deny
ing that there is God. So one can
be either without being the other.

WE BELIEVE IN AMERICA

We Get q little tired sometimes Of hearing people
run down America. In the newspapers and magazines
that come to our attention we many articles Whlch
appear to have been written for the purpose Of max
ING readers believe that the United States is its
last legs that we have got to discard everything that
has been done in the past and change the whole ma
ton over into something modelled on Russia or Italy
or Germany, or we're going to be sunk And there IS
no end to the books, novels and others, whose sole
theme is that we Americans pretty W-grade,
incompetent set of gnoramuses, lacking IN culture
and intelligence not to be compared with the enlght-
ened and highly cultured ctiZenry Of other nations
We do not believe the authors of these books,
stories and articles mean pecisely what they seem to
imply If we thought so for minute we would be
glad to join movement to Danish them to these 9TH
or countries that they think superior to our
own Rightly understood, much of this sort of talk
springs from the peculiarly American passion for
self-nproyCment 1t has its roots in the same urge
that sent ancestors from other countries to this
one, the urge to find better way Of life. These
gentlemen see defects in civiliZation-Which ev
cry0ne must admit there are-and by magnlfylng
those defects hope that the public will be sufficiently
stirred up to do something about them But the net
effect Of their diatrbes upon the young and impress
sionabe is to make them feel inferior to the people Of
other lands, and to regard their country rather
low sort of place in which to live
There is nothing wrong with America We Say
that in the full knowledge that there are still great
many persons out of work, great many people who
have hard struggle to make both ends meet. What
ever Is wrong with America we are ten times better
off than the people OF any other country we know
anything about. And, whatever may be wrong with
our country, there is distinctly American way of
fixing it. and the American people now, as they have
always done in the past, will find and apply their
own remedies. which will not be remedies prescribed
by either Dr.. Stalin DR.. Hitler or DR.. Mussolini

peculiarly funny" action for true A1iZonans. One IS
inclined to wonder if they do not really belong in

to the "land of their dreams.
Whatever we may think of the advisability of
Governor Moeul's action in sending detachment Of
the National Guard to Parker, we must admit that
the Governor is man Of action rather than words
that he doesn't hesitate to protect the rights of the
state with proper show Of force, rather than to 60

BAN ON
HITCH H|kERS

WASHINGTON, May 81 U.P)-
Nettled lawmakers and disgrunt-
led motorists have joined forces in
efforts TO outlaw membership in
the "Order of the Thumb hitch
hikers' official fraternity, the Am
erican Automobile Association said.
Hit by court orders and hard
boiled public opinion, it was ex-
planned, the ranks of thumb jerk
ing travellers have suffered severe
losses despite the fact that large
numbers of unemployed are rowing
from place to place in search OF
employment.
Before the law got busy and auto
lists lost their good nature, it was
pointed out, the possibility of free
and easy transportation had led to
a virtual invasion Of highways by
hitch-hikers.
Now, the association added,
states have adopted stringent laws
making it an offense to solicit
rides, and motorists, as the result
Of sensational hold-ups by desper-
ADDE'S guised as ordinary, innocent
hitch-hikers, have become suspi-
cious and wary Of all highway

Mr.. Forsythe Endorses ALL
BRAN for Constipation

II you suffer from headaches,
loss of appetite and energy or any
other of the frequent effects of con-
stipation, read this voluntary letter:
"After taking pills and tablets
for about thirty years for consti-
patton, | started TO take your ALL
BRAN three times a day according
to directions. Today | can eat
cheese, and that is binding, and
certainly feel fne."-Mr. Ed. For
sythe, Box PIG, Youngstown, N. Y.
Science says ALL-BRAN provides
''bulk" to exercise the intestines,
and vitamin B to further aid regu-
lar habits. In addition, ALL-BRAN
is rich in bodybuilding iron.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of leafy vegetables. Inside
the body, it forms a soft mass which
gently clears the intestines of
wastes.
Isn't this pleasant "cereal way"
far more healthful than using pat
ent medicines-so often habit
forming?

In serious cases use with each meal.

NEW KING OF
BELGIUM IS
HARD WORKER

BRUSSELS, May 81. UP)- Eur
ope s newest king is working hard
to live up to the expectations of his
people.
Two months after his accession
finds Belgium IS 33-year-old ruler,
Leopold III, settling down to his
job with energy and determination.
Since the day King Albert died
a change has come over Leopold.
His face has become grave. He
works long hours. There is hard
ly any time now for the horseback
riding, golfing and other sports in
which he once delighted.
Leopold feels his responsibilities
keenly. but it has not spoiled his
social side. King Albert was Ro-
tarian-and the only one, he once
remarked. lin my line Of busi-
ness" Leopold has succeeded him
as Rotary's only representative OF
the king business and finds
time for the more important Ro-
tary luncheonS.
King Albert taught Leopold to
study insects. 1t was good prepar-
alton, he thought, for the later
study Of men. Leopold became an
excellent entomologist, and now
everyone with whom he confers-
his ministers, foreign diplomats,
professors and business men-re-
marks upon his insight into human
nature.
Like any good business man,
Leopold is on the job punctually
every morning. He is familiar with
the early-rising habits of the sub
urbanite. He has to get up at
dawn to leave the Castle of Stuy-
venberg, where he lives, and get
to his study in Brussels at 9 a.
m.
By the time he is through for
the day it usually is dark. Occa-
sionally there is time for a brief
ride in the evening, but more often
now he can take only short walk
before dinner to relax.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
'By Alicis Hart
Oi935oS NE1 SERVICE E5c

Girls who have been troubled with dry and brittle nails will be interested fin a new manicure prod uct of 1894. It's a double-duty polish remover which contains oils that soften cuticle at the same time 1t takes off the deepest shades of polish.
 With this, for the first time, 1t is possible to remove every trace of liquid polish and nourish cuti- cle around the finger nails while you are doing 1t.
 When you are ready to begin your weekly manicure, moisten a small cotton pad with the new cuticle remover, rub it on your nails, massaging the cuticle and pushing 1t backward. Allow 1t to remain on for at least ten min. utes. Then wash 1t all off with Q small brush and thick soap suds.
 Take an orange stick and re- move culticlc which has grown out over the little moons. Work .all the way around the edge of e.&h nail until the cuticle is back in place.
 Then you are ready for polish. You don't have to apply cuticle oil before polishing because the new polish solvent mas already done double duty.
 Put the polish from the edge of the little half moon downward to the tip of each finger, Be careful! not to get 1t so near the edges that it will become imbedded in the cuticle. If 1t does. quickly remove it with a piece of cleaning tissue wrapped around your index finger

Skill Is A Precious Thing

Skill Is A Precious Thing
 Life is short and the art is long; experience is fallacious and judg- ment difficult, said Hipprokrates, the Father of Medicine. Twenty two centuries later Goethe re- mashed it so say that opportunity Is transient. Longfellow worked the same thought into his Psalm of Life and according to my guide, counsellor and constant playmate, Bartlett, bles, his heart, even old Chaucer used dash of 1t in his "The Assembly of Fowles lyfe so short, the craft so long to lerne". Cross my heart. l had al- most a poetic thought to express concerning skill in medicine, but what's the use, Hippokrates said it all, and these small fry have beat me to it.
 Just the same, what a tremen- dous difference skill makes in a doctor!
