Four short years ago, Anne Goved-
mix, 19-year-old ST. Cloud Teachers

limits. Her sister. Mary, arrived in
time to pull her out after another

That experience was enough and
Anne Immediately began learning to

the art to perfection. but holds two

SET THEM RIGHT

Seine newspaper reports In the
past have evidenced delight i'm
passing along the Information to
the public that the new ASkOv road
from the pavement was either I'm
bad condition or impossible and
now comes the report that certain
strangers have come here via the
old highway under the direction
of some Sandstone persons only to
come to their grief.
Two or three times this road has
been ''impaSsable" according to the
wags, but this has only been a
brain storm. for at no time since
it's dedication has it been anything
but pleasant to drive upon as COM
pared with the old route to the
Quarry City. People I'm the COM
munity have ignored all taunts in
the past, but when 1t comes to d.
rccting strangers over a road
which is not equal to the new one
in any respect, 1t is unfair and
therefore the public should not be
victim to any enviOuS feeling to-
ward the new project which was
sadly needed in this section.
The new road, No. 66, besides be.
ing a scenic drive from the pave.
ment to ASkOv, shOrtens the dis
lance somewhat to the pavement
and is built to withstand the strain
of heavy traffic under all weather
conditions, and by state highway
engineers who have demonstrated
they know their business.
Therefore, it is advised that mo.
florists who have need to come to
the AskOv community and points
beyond should use the new road
which functions with the pavement
three and One.half miles north of
Sandstone, or four and half miles
south of Rutledge.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG sTRANDVOLD

In large countries statesmen and
parliaments agree that when they
demand, and when they appropriate
huge sums for their military and
naval purposes, it is solely in the in
terest of peace; they proceed from the
theory, proved fallacious as far back
as the records of mankind 60 that the
more you arm, the more secure is
peace while the demonstrated fact il
that the more you arm, the surer you
are of war.
European great powers seem to be-
lieve quite firmly that peace is con-
tingent upon their own heavy anna
ments and upon the continued dis
armament of Germany.
In this cOuntry-well, last week the
national house of representatives ap-
propriated s46O,OOO, 900 for naval ex-
penses-S172,0 100000 more than for
the previous fiscal year; that means
that S1,2O0.0O0 will be spent for the
American navy expansion every day
in the year-all for the sake of peace.
When to this are added the appropria-
tiOns for the army, we reach a total
of about one billion dollars per year
for what is called defensive purposes
(no great nation ever admits that it
arms for any OtheD.
Pacific ManOeuverS.
And this week almost the entire
American navy is beginning manoeuv-
ers in the North Pacific; this is clear
ly for the purpose of demonstrating
its strength to Japan, and it is sc
considered in that country although
its government is careful and polite
enough to say that the matter lis of
no interest, officially
1t is, of course, claimed in the
United States that the manoeuvers
are not intended to irritate Japan.
But what would be said in this coun-
try were, for instance, the British

the past, many dramatic treats are
in store for those interested in the
Little Theater movement in this and

Rest After 10 Years Residence
In DanfOrth.

Death visited the Danforth COM
munity Friday and claimed Mrs. G. E.
Hendricks after a short illness of
four months with cancer. Although
knowing her to be ill the family and

and where she was united in mar

1887. After the couples marriage
they moved to Audubon county, Iowa,
where they resided until the spring
of 1916 when they came to the Dan
forth community. From a piece of
wild land they hewed fine farm.
Mrs. Hendricks is survived by her
husband, four sons, Ralph of st.
James, Paul of Hinckley, and Guy
and Harry at home, and two daugh-
ters, Velta of Minneapolis, and Mrs.
c. A. Gabriel of Superior, Wis. Mrs.
Hendricks was a faithful member Of
the Christian church. She was al
ways willing and waiting to lend a
helping hand to any one in need.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, officiated at by her son, Rev.
Paul Hendricks, and burial was in
the Danforth township cemetery, with
her four sons acting as pallbearers.

cere sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily in the loss of good wife and

Trip to California aUas Much En-
riched By VISIT to Natures
Wonderland.

From time to time the Askov
American has published articles
written by those who have made
trip to the western coast, but
this time a letter comes from
Arthur B. Clausen who was one
of a group of Askovites who mo-
tored to California in November.
Mr.. Clausen, 1888 graduate from
the AskOv high school, writes in
graphic style of the Carlsbad
Cavern located in the barren
wastes of New Mexico. The letter
follows:
In the face of present political and
economical problems it may seem
strange for a person to be writing
about hole in the ground. but that
is exactly what l intend to do. Just
to give you a. vague idea of the i'm
mensity of my subject let me quote
the fact that all the caves and cav
erns on this entire continent could
be put into a single one of its hun
dred rooms.
Countless numbers of people have
visited Carlsbad Cavern in the bar
rem wastes of southeast New Mexico.
There were more than 100000 in 1890
and last year $4,000 people from every
state in the union and nineteen for
