ASKOV SCHOOL WILL
OPEN NEXT MONDAY

The Askov public school will open
its 1885 session at 9 a. m. Monday,
September, 2. All pupils, beth high
school and grade, are requested by
Supt. Otto G. Hoiberg to appear for
registration at that time. Since the
matter Of registration can be handled
in half day, pupils will be dismissed
at noon. The school buses will run.
carrying the children to school in the
morning and home at noon.
The Askov school will this year
function on a reorganized basis, in
that the traditional "a arrangement
will be replaced by a 6-6 system.
This means, in short, that the seventh
and eighth grades will be removed
from the elementary division and be
made part of the high school. The
new plan makes available to the
pupils Of our public school the chief
benefits of the now widely adopted
Junior high school. The main rea-
sons for such reorganization and the
specific advantages accruing there
from will be discussed and clarified
in a bulletin soon to be issued by the
principal and the superintendent of
the Askov school.

'the overthrow of, or bringing about
by force, a change in the political
or social order of the United States"
Consequently Mr.. Bullitt presented an
official protest to the Russian gov
eminent.
1t is likely that Russia, as host to
the communistic International con-
gress, has been guilty of technical
violation of the treaty with the United
States. But there is nothing to get
excited about in a country whose own
soldiers time and again have inter-
fered with the domestic affairs of 9TH
ers, and smaller, nations.
A protest like that of the American
governments looks we'll in print at
a time when certain politicians seek
promotion to higher posts by gravely
referring to "the red menace" which
is, in the final analysis, far more i'm
aginary than real. Nothing is surer
of applause and support in a pre-
election year than to view with alarm
certain political phenomena which
are not favored here.
A diplomatic breach between the
United States and Russia. may we'll
be the result of the most recent
squabble, but it will not mean much
to the average American and Russian
and will be, commercially, fraught
with no dire consequences.

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE TRUTH!
editor ASkOY American:

Editor Askov American:
To the people of School District No.
80 and the township of Dell Grove, or
to whom it may concern: There
seems to be lot of hot air, and false
hoods going around the neighhorhood
and the truth is pretty well sup
pressed as to School District No. 80.
A. M. Price was clerk for some time
and is also on the township board. An
action was started by School District
No. 80, but the district lost it. This
cost the taxpayers of Pine county the
biggest part of $1,000.
Last spring, according to an opinion
by the Attorney General Harry Peter
son. it was found that the two offices
were incompatible and therefore a
man can not serve on both boards.
Upon the acceptance of the second Of
flee the first is automatically vacant,
therefore, he was off the school board;
but, through the instinct of his creed,
it appears it has petrified his mind
to the extent that he is saved, regard
less of what he does.
He handed in his resignation to the
school board last spring, but wanted
his wife appointed in his place. Mr..
Stewart approved of this act, but Mr..
DePover didn't, and gave the follow
ing reason: Being there is so much
confusion in the district, let us call
special election and let the people
elect some one. But Mr.. Stewart, as
chairman of the school board, would
not call a special election to fill the
vacancy. Because Mr.. Price appears
to be the engineer who runs the
steam roller, he served as clerk, al
though you find that on November 6,
1926. Assistant Attorney General
Charles E. Phillips, rendered the fol-
lowing opinion: That the resignation
of school board member is effective
without acceptance. When he re-
signed he surrendered his office and
a vacancy resulted. Here Mr.. Stew
art as chairman of District No. 80 did
ing the confusion the court found it
advisable to place both A. M. Price
and Geo. Stewart under restraining
order to keep the peace, but the order
was lifted the fore part Of July. 1885.
AS the annual school election came
around some of the people came to
the conclusion that the township con-
stable should be present for self-pro-
lection, owing to the fascist group in
the district. 1t was a good thing he
was as a baseball bat was used be-
sides other weapons, to deprive some
people of their constitutional right.
The chairman was placed under ar
rest and the sheriff was called and
the prisoner was turned over to him.
Later he was turned loose again.

During the confusion about half of
the people went out doors and few
went home. The meeting was rolled
through by the gang, Mr.. Price was
reelected as clerk for one year and
Mrs. Hartland was elected treasurer
with no opposing votes as the group
ruled. -
Shortly afterwards monthly town
ship meeting took place and the other
two members of the town board asked
Mr.. Price to resign from the board
because he was reelected on the
school board as clerk. The excuse he
gave was that he didn't qualify as
clerk of the school district. At about
the same time a notice was out to
call special meteing of the school
district, signed by Mr.. A. M. Price as
clerk. Now it proves that Mr.. Price
acted as clerk, therefore, he accepted
regardless if he qualified or not; as
acting means accepting. 1t is up to
the township board of Dell Grove to
appoint someone to fill the vacancy in
Mr.. Prices place. l trust that the
other two members of the township
board live up to their oath of office
and do their duty as citizens of the
United States, as they are within
their constitutional rights to appoint
some one in Mr.. Prices place.

officials are altogether helpless in re-

Commonwealth ran one Of his
greatest races of his two-year old
career when he defeated older
opponents in mile and 10 yards
at Pimlico in the splendid time
of 1:43 rs. Back of the Jeffords
colt came such sterling campaign

In his final start last year he
won the rich endurance test by
six lengths from Sound Advice

third.
Commonwealth is horse
gated like Omaha in that he
does all his running in the final
quarter mile. He is utterly de-
void of early speed, but possesses
the penchant for running over
horses in the stretch.
In several of his races last year
he came from Is lengths back OF
his rivals to win.
Commonwealth made his 1885
