Former COuntu
Doctor Defeats
Mother Nature

DR.. n. c. Stratte, formerly of Pine
City, but now of Window, not only
outwitted Old Mother Nature Sunday.
but saved the life of little six-year
old patient.
Eloise. the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Delft, living ten miles
north of Window, became critically
iii with diphtheria and according to
Dr. Stratte, only immediate use of
serum would save her life. The al
ministering of the serum in itself
would have been an easy matter, but
when raging blizzard on the wings
OF a northwest wind had blocked he
roads it was a different problem.
The mercury stood about 90 below
zero when the heroic doctor made his
desperate and successful effort to get
to the bedside of his little patient. 1t
was useless to venture the trip by
auto alone and this fact prompted DR..
Stratte to appeal to the superintend-
ent of the highway station at Window,
with the result that snow plow was
ordered out to clear the way for the
doctors auto.
After the administration of the
serum which started the little diph-
liberia victim on the road to recovery,
the doctor and the snow pillow again
returned to Window
Many stories have been told and
written about the deeds of country
doctors but the one in which DR..
Stratte and his little six-year old pa
tient were the principals, is one of
fine tribute to modern medical science
and the highway department.
DR.. Stratte formerly was located Mt
Pine City in association with his
brother. DR.. A. X. Stratte.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

A few weeks ago french Foreign
Minister Pierre Laval was the guest
of Italian Prime Minister Benito Mus
solini at Rome, and the two gentle
men reached certain agreements con-
corning the future Of Austria whose
independence was to be guaranteed,
as we'll as about mutual territorial
concessions in Africa.
During the week beginning January
81 another diplomatic conference of,
perhaps, greater and more far-reach-
ing importance is to take place in
London when Monsieur Laval. accom-
panied by his chief, French Prime
Minister Pierre Etienne F1andin, will

German Rearmament.
More specifically, the London con-
ference will devote itself to solu-
tion of the long vexing German re-
armament problem which, because of
the German plebiscite victory in the
Saar on January Is, has become more
acute than ever.
Part 5 of the Versailles peace
treaty stipulated that Germany was
to be almost disarmed, but at the
same time it was made clear that the
powers who were victorious in the
World war, pledged themselves to in
augurate disarmament. This pledge
has not been respected to the con-
trary, for the victors have increased
their armies. and navies at rate
never before known.
When Germany realized that all
the other signers of the Versailles
treaty did not intend to disarm, she
denounced that document, reasoning
that defeated nation lying in the
center of a circle of powerfully armed
nations would be totally helpless;
hence the insistent German demand
for an increase from 100000 to 30O,-
900 regular soldiers. When the de-
mand was not needed, Germany an
nounced that she would retire from
League of Nations membership in Oc-
tOber, 1885.
Want Germany In.
AS the world situation has devel-
oped it has become clear to other
great powers that international prob
lens of the first magnitude cannot be
solved with Germany outside the
League. Time and again attempts
have been made to urge Germany to
withdraw her notice of resignation;
time and again Germany has replied
that permission to rearm must be
considered one prime condition.
Next week France, hitherto reluc-
tant to grant German rearmament de-
mands, is expected to tell Great Brit
ain that, perhaps, it will be wise to
accommodate Germany and release
her from the military clauses of the
Versailles treaty, provided the Ger
man government is, willing to join
general armament limitation agree
ment and to remain in the League
Italian and Russian assent to a
Franco-British accord paving the way
for German equality with other pow
ers, is almost a foregone conclusion

Bus Line Now Four
Miles From Askov
New ASkOv Junction as Well as Other
Roads May be Used as
Flag Stops.

The coming of the new trunk high
way from the pavement to Askov has
opened up another prospective avenue
of travel for those of this section to
outside points in that it has short
ened the distance to the bus line
Frequently in the winter time as dur
ing the past few weeks with heavy
SHOWS prevailing throughout the
northwest the more frequently run
ming buses have made for convenient
travel in private automobile or when
train service was not suited to the
needs.
In an interview with the Northland
Greyhound Line district passenger
agent, representative of the Askov
American was told that the junction
with the pavement just four miles
west of Askov, as we'll as any other
similar place along the route, could
be used as bus flag stop and in this
manner one might easily make con-
nections with the bus without having
to travel so far in order to board it
For southbound buses it is advis-
able that the passenger stand on the
right hand side of the road while
tagging and the same method should
be used for northbound buses. When
buying a ticket home one needs but
buy to the nearest station and pay
for the override according to the dis
tance. Buses will stop any place along
the route to pick up passengers or
to let them Off
In the accompanying uptodate
schedule it will be noted that Askov's
junction is inserted as is also Fin
layson corner and the junction with

"The banking system is no

Observing that excess reserves

consists of holdings of the public

The Federal Reserve Bank, he
emphasized, should be rid of their
huge holdings of Government obli.

profits of gold devaluation. The
Government would turn over gold
certificates to the Federal Reserve
Banks, issued on the basis of the
revalued gold stock, and receive
its own OBLIGATIONS in return.
