Fields remains in hot water, heated

imitable dumbnesS, long enough to
become a hard-boiled guy for a

BY changing his usual story

been in the habit in the past.
The result, in this particular in
stance, is a series of hysterical
situations dominated by the star

Chair" philosopher of Grand Rapids,

pendent:
You bet your life.'
This favorite expression so often
heard, usually from the third or
fourth grader, has at last become a
reality.
If you drive an automobile, if you
occasionally ride in someone else's
car, or even if you walk along the
public highway. you bet your life,
seemingly, every few minutes.
In every other gamble there is a
supposed chance to win occasionally.
You will lose and try over again and
lose some more. In this game you
lose only once-you won't have an
other chance.
You bet your life-When you pass
car while approaching the crest of
hill.
You bet your life-When you pass
a car on a curve.
You bet your life-When you pass
car at a crossing.
You bet your life-When you pass
a car that is going to make a left
turn.
You bet your life-When you pass
car anywhere that you can not see
500 feet ahead of you an open road.
You bet your life-When you drive
onto a highway without stopping.
looking and watching.
You bet your life-When you ap-
proach side or cross road at speed
where you can not stop inside the
space where a car might appear.
You bet your life-When you drive
at speed so that you can not stop
in case of a blowout.
You bet your life-When you drive
along a grade or a ditch at a speed
so you can not stop il anything hap
pens"
You bet your life-When you meet
a drunken driver.
You bet your life-When you drink
intoxicants before or while driving.
You bet your life-When you make
left turn without signaling.
You bet your life-When you meet
or pass a driver who cannot control
his car.
You bet your life-When you cross
a railroad without stopping.
You bet your life-When you drive
fast around a sharp curve.
You bet your life-And you will
never lose a second time.

Caucus Picks Slate.

At the Askov village caucus Tues
day evening in the town hall the
greatest difficulty seemed to be the
securing of second choice for each
of the various offices. On the first
ballot A. Henriksen was nominated
for mayor with % votes out of more
than thirty; two or three additional
ballots were taken for a second
choice, but no one would accept, so
finally the nomination was closed.
Thus Mr. Henriksen's name will ap-
pear without opposition. The same
thing happened again for justice of
the peace where ]. C. Jensen runs
unopposed, and Holger Kilstofte as
constable for two years has no oppon-
ent.
Likewise Clarence Morgensen is un-
opposed for constable for one year.
The only contest on the ballot will
be for councilman for three years, for
this office Conrad Christensen was
nominated for reelection and he will
be opposed by Fritz Holm. The an
nual election will take place in the
town hall on Tuesday, December 3.

TeLeUisiOn Here
Says Professor
DR.. James webb sof Minnesota Uni
versity Predicts Sets Will be in
Many Places Soon.

Minneapolis, Nov. 2O-Television,
long considered by many to be no
more than dream as far as the gen.
eral public is concerned, will be an
actually by spring according to Pro-
fessor James Webb of the department
of electrical engineering in the Uni
verstiy of Minnesota.
After spending last summer work
ing in eastern electrical laboratories,
Dr. Webb returned to Minnesota with
assurances that television has been
conquered. During the late winter.
he said, important manufacturers will
place twenty or thirty actual televis-
ion sets in important public places
in the east, such as hotel Hobbies,
railroad stations and the like. Pro-
grams will be sent to these sets from
central transmitting outfit and the
general public will be. given an OPP
portunity to witness continuous
demonstration of the new science.
The receiving outfits will be rela-
lively small, Professor Webb ex-
planned, probably measuring some
thing like eighteen by twenty-four
inches. Very short wave lengths will
be used in transmitting the images.
He said he believed that sound will
accompany the pictures.
One of his most unusual predic-
lions was that the change will prob
ably alter the desirability of radio
wave-length now available to stations.
Television will go-over the shorter
wave lengths, which therefore, will
increase greatly in desirability. He
believes that within a very few years
television sets will be available at
a price thousands can afford. and pre-
diets that even the first sets will
be probably no more expensive than
were the better early radio sets.

C. NJ. Laursen and family started
last week on their journey via auto
to California. Mrs. Laursen went to
a hospital at Rochester the day after
their sale and was obliged to remain
there longer than originally antici-
pated, thus they were delayed some
what in getting started. They will
visit at various places in California
in the hope of finding a climate that
will be more agreeable to Mrs. Laur-
sens health. They have developed
nice farm three miles north of town
and during their many years in Askov,
have gained large circle of friends
who regret to see them leave but will
also wish them the best of success

1T DOES HAPPEN

The typographical error is slippery
thing and sly, b..
You can hunt till you are dizzy, but
it somehow will get by.
Till the forms are off the presses it
is strange how still it keeps;
1t shrinks down into corner and it
never stirs or peeps,
That typographical error, too small
for human eyes,
Till the ink is on the paper, when 1t
grows to mountain size.
The boss he stares with horror, then
he grabs his hair and groans;
The copy reader drops his head upon
his hands and means
The remainder of the issue may be
clean as clean can be,
But that typographical error is the
only thing you see.

WHERE 1T CLICKS
..(SlaytOn Herald)

A man in Ohio recently wanted to
sell home. He put small ad in a
newspaper, invested in a radio ad,
and sent out a hundred circular let
ters telling of his proposition. From
his newspaper ad he received IA re-
plies, from his radio ad not one, and
from his circular letters not one. 1t
just goes to show that advertising, to
be read. must be in a medium that
is read, and the local paper. whatever
its faults, is generally read by its
subscribers.
