THE RED CROSS MOVES IN
(The Northland TimeS)

First on the scene to- render aid
to the countless thousands who are
suffering from fires, floods, earth
quakes and other catastrophes in this
country is the American Red Cross.
A few hours after rivers began to
tear the hearts from the life of in
dustries and communities, radio an
nouncers reported that the Red Cross
was on the scene rendering aid to the
injured and suffering people of the
East and South. The Red Cross needs
money to carry on it's work; to replen-
ish the supplies of food and clothing
that they are giving out that lives
may be saved. This task is even
larger than the resources of this
great organization can handle unless
the people of the United States re-
spond Immediately to the National
appeal for help. They have always
helped before and there is no doubt
but that they will now. Do NOT de-
lay. Send in your contribution TO-
DAY.

more muddled than ever. AS every

more muddled than ever. AS every
one knows, German carpenter. Bru-
no Richard Hauptmann, was arrested,
tried and convicted of the crime ana
was sentenced to die in the electric
chair.
He has been granted two stays from
execution and was to die at 8 o'clock
Tuesday night, but at the last minute
he was given another reprieve of rs
hours while the grand jury is investi-
eating new angles in the case.
1t must be a living death" for
Hauptmann and torture that very few
men could remain rational in the
face of, without telling all that was
on their minds. But with Hauptmam
all that it accomplished was to cause
him to issue the statement that if he
were to change his story, it would be
to lie.
Certainly circumstantial evidence
was woven so tightly about the Ger
man that it made him beyond doubt,
appear as the perpetrator of the hor-
rible crime of kidnapping and murder
of the Lindbergh baby. However. he
has steadfastly maintained his limo
cence, with the result that the COVER
nor of New Jersey has interested him
self in the case to the extent that he
is conducting special investigation
Regardless of the guilt of Haupt-
mann, according to news sources
there appear to be some angles OF the
case which have not been solved and
it would seem that putting the kew
man to death would not help to clear
these up. 1t may not help even il
he is allowed to live, but there is g
possibility that it can.
Capital punishment. at best, is moth
ing but a barbarious way of punish
ing crime and its use has not helped
in Kidding the world of crime. A few
have been made in picking
the guilty ones in past crimes and II
they are put to death there can be
no righting of the wrong. On the
other hand, their confinement can
help solve hidden angles which are
present in most crimes.

COOP RACKETEERING

Editor Askov American:
Real we'll informed coOperators are
far apart and hard to see, and are
smokehOuse in fog. When one is
to judge them by a comment which
appeared in a recent issue of the
American by a Brook Park coopera-
tor, who in turn has misguided my
write-up to such an extent that 1 be-
lieve that he must be a mandy -pamby
type of non-thinking person. Or else
he was so shocked by reading a write
up on coop racketeers that he peace
fully placed himself in a horizontal
position, and began to write something
before complete recovery has taken
place.
You asked me what l know about
coop racketeers? That's kind of
a hard question to answer, but I'll
try and do my best. A coop racket
eer is an individual who possesses
strong influence over a cooperative
unit, and who in turn with the help
of the namby-pamby type, non-think-
ing, runs the whole organization for
his own selfish interests.
In fact l believe some years ago
you had few of those coop racketeers
in your home town, who in turn
flipped dozens of farmers out of thou
sands of dollars. OF course this is
just another sad story to write about.
You have already admitted that you
feel quite badly over the one l wrote
some time ago and | suppose when
you get through reading the one above,
you will be wishing if you only had
one of those crying towels
Somebody also mentioned something
about Wallace, Co-ops and farm or
CARNATIONS doing something in Wash
ingtOn. if one is to judge their noble
work by the ever increasing number
of farm mortgage foreclosure sales
for the last six months, throughout
the entire United States, one will
have to come to the conclusion, that
the lenders are shifted in reverse,
and that the entire recovery machine
with brass band parades and crack
down commands by Wallace is going
ahead backwards.

ject was called off as has happened
with plans sometimes; but all this
material is to be filed with the State
Historical Society and will be avail
able for our Pine county history later.
This week two fine reports have
been received; one on the sanatOrium
on Lake POkegama that is very in
spring as well as splendid adver-
tisement for our county and its eli
mate. Also an offer of cooperation in
our county historical work for next
year from our enthusiastic and ener-
getic county superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Gustafson's help will be invalu-
able as with his training as high
school executive he can direct the
preparation of material in accord
with the latest method of imparting
information so that our history will
be a fascinating subject for our school
children instead of dry, musty topics
that most history seems to be.
One thing has hampered this work
greatly and that is the inaccessibility
of the early county records. These
records have never been indexed and
are piled away in a dusty attic where
even the officials are unable to find
data when wanted. One can hardly
ask the officials to leave their busy
offices and spend valuable time
searching for a few bits of informa-
ton that may take hours to locate.
Perhaps it would be possible to get a
project started that would place some
of our many unemployed teachers on
this job. With these old records
cleaned, repaired and properly indeXed
and shelved, it would save our county
officials great deal of time and wor-
ry and make it possible to get infor-
nation in a few minutes instead of
several hours or days. 1t seems 90 me
that this is more important than
much of the work now being done by
WPA and PWA workers.
We hope to organize Pine County
Historical Society that will keep our
records in order for the future. I do
not know-at this time-any particu-
lars. / do not think there would be
much, if any, expense connected with
this if the books were cared for and
placed in order first.

gan of the Askov community and

FOR GOVERNMENT MEDICAL
SERVICE
Editor Askov American:

| EulIOT ASKOV Americana.
During the last few years of de-
preston we read articles now and
then about the increasing death rate
among the poorer class of people. One
writer states that over 20 per cent of
the people receive less than 20 per
cent OF the medical service they
should have. Therefore, the medical
profession is greatly handicapped by
tnlS loss OF practice, to say nothing
or the income which would keep the
average doctor better equipped to give
greater service to his patients. This
service to the public health should be
OF the utmost Importance and interest
to everyone. Under the present sys-
tenn there can be no adequate admin
stration of medical service to the bulk
of the population. This evil should
be remedied at once Public health
is just as important to a nation as the
army, navy or any other part of the
system. The money system, the post
office department, the army and navy
was once in the hands of private en-
terprise, but was found inadequate,
not able to fill the purpose for which
it was represented. AS a result each in
turn was taken over by the several
nations and run as a government en-
terprise. 1t is generally accepted that
no private enterprise can duplicate
the service at so little cost as are
those now run by the federal govern
ment.
Now, why not have a government
operated medical service? Allow me
to here give my idea of how it could
be done:
1. Let each county in the state
have a state owned hospital. large
enough to meet the requirements of
the population of that county.
2. Have a central hospital in the
state to train young men or women
for the medical profession. These
people will be picked by some sort
of civil service examination, open to
the public, and the required number
be taken in for training. The persons
thus trained will be kept at school at
no cost to themselves until they have
completed their education and are
ready to go out in the world as FIN
ished doctors. In payment for their
education they will be required to
serve in these county hospitals for
a period of, say ten years at a fair
salary. This pay could be raised or
lowered according to the number of
applicants applying for the training.
This sort of system would always
keep an ample supply of trained med
zeal men going into the hospitals as
fast as the older men had given their
period of service to the state.
g. With all this government spend
ing, let one project in each county be
for a county hospital.

medical system impose, with the peo-

"CHENGWATANA"
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
Again we have the benefit, as per
issue of March IL, of an impressive
letter by Ludwig Mosbak-great value
will the people heed it? The time is
now fully ripe for an understanding
of the true law-(Gods, law under
lying our social fabric. And it's
evident for your county superintend-
ent of schools to be a person we'll
versed in the fundamentals of eco
Monies so as to urge, demand, the
rising generation receive instruction
as to facts under the law of cause
and effect.
At Pine City an immense sum of
the taxpayers money is being required
to pay for a fine public building, high
school and auditorium; the effect will
be to increase in land value. Justice,
therefore, demands this increase in
ground rent be collected into the pub
lie treasury for the very school chill
dren as well as adults are factors
creating land values. Doing this you
keep open opportunities for your chill
dren after completing their school
terms to honorably get on in the art
of making living and prospecting.

that may mean) will make a study
