CROP INSURANCE
(Springfield Advance-Press)

The administration will try to work
more difficult economic problem ever
was tackled by our government. If
all farm lands were of equal value
and the average production were the
same. the problem would be less diff
ficult, However, there is so much land
in use for cropping which never
should have been put to that use. 1t
isn't fair for those who have depend
able lands to make good the losses
of those who have been lured by low
land prices into farming sections that
cannot be depended upon.
Brown county farmers never have
had crop failure; there have been a
few partial failures in dry years and
hail losses have been suffered in small
areas, but nothing like what the west
ern drouth areas have experienced.
The Brown county farmer certainly
will object to sharing his fortunes
with those engaged in dry farming.
Whatever form of crop insurance is
devised will have to take into con-
sideration the average production of
each particular area. Hazards are
considered in all forms of insurance
and rates are based on conditions
peculiar to the risks. The same I'M
DERIVING principles will have to govern
in crop insurance. The government
cannot guarantee the same crop on
S25 land as the farmer gets on $50 or
500 Land.
Another angle to be considered is
the kind of farming carried on. In
Western Kansas there are large wheat
farms. The owners live in town.
They spend few weeks planting, a
few weeks cutting and a few weeks
blowing. They expect to make enough
money in two or three months to sup
port them all year. In good years,
if prices are good, they can do it..
Generally, it is said. the combine and
tractor people get the profits. Such
kind of farming should not be en-
cOuraged. 1t is gamble, not farm
ing. There is no live stock, no
gardening, no poultry on those farms,
not even horse or a COW. Nothing
is put back into the soil.
Already the plains country is pres
sing its demands for crop insurance.
The middle west isn't so much inter-
ested in crop insurance as it is in
production control. 1t wants the old
AAA back. Whatever plan of crop
insurance is adopted will have to take
into consideration the sectional inter-
ests. One section should not be penal
lied to help another section. The
average productivity of lands in vari-
Gus sections must be considered.

gressive governor; some say good and
of course some say bad, but he came
to the end of his trail at that time
when he was ousted from office when
he was under charge of illegally

not before his wife, who had taken UP

North Dakota political observers that
Mr.. LANCER was not in the dis

tiOn of his party, but was nOsed out
by Governor Walter Wexford with a
close vote. He then filed and ran as
an Independent candidate with the
result that he was elected by the peo-
pie of his state at the polls on No
vember 3.
He claims it is a vindicatiOn and
that he promises North Dakota one of
the finest administrations it has ever
had. His record will be watched with
interest. His persistence won again

SAFETY WITH SPEED

Considerable discussion is taking
place nowadays in regards to the speed
menace on the highways. Certainly
there will have to be something done
about the speed of modern drivers.
However, it would not be pleasant
thing to look forward to if laws were
to be passed telling us to drive only
80 miles an hour at this point; 40
miles an hour at that point or 10
miles per hour at another point. We
do not like to be regulated until every
last ounce of our freedom is gone
while travelling the highways.
But this very thing is going to
happen unless drivers of high speed
automobiles do not be more careful
when they use that speed. We have
no doubt that the present motor car
is safer at 60 miles per hour than
was the one of 10 years ago at so.
However, that is not to say that one
can get out on the highway and drive
60 miles per hour through villages
and congested districts just because
he happens to be driving a motor ve-
hicle that will go that speed with ap-
parent safety.
One must use discretion. AS has
been said so many times, one must
drive his car at rate of speed which
is comparable to the conditions under
which he is travelling. If he has a
clear road ahead and can handle his
car we'll, then it seems that there
can be no objection to his making
better speed, but then on the other
hand he should be reasonable in his
demands for speed in less open
stretches of the highway.
One should also respect winter
roads. Every one who has done any
winter driving knows full we'll that
the same rate of speed cannot be
maintained as in the summer seas n.
Just recently when the icy sheet COW
cred the pavement and the roads in
this section, the writer motored to
Hinckley. 1t was on the day of the
homecoming football game at the Uni
versity. Many were in a hurry to get
there and sped by us at rate of
speed twice as fast as we were travel
ing in safety. Eventually, however,
we came upon several of them deep
in the ditch helpless to get out with
their own power. They not only en-
dangered their own lives but those of
others by their imagined hurry.
We are all intelligent enough to
use our speeds according to road and
traffic conditions, but if we do not
and persist in driving with reckless
abandon, then the courts will take a
hand and we will lose one phase of
our freedom. We do not want to. be
told how fast to drive; we should
know.

1t looked to many as though Father
Coughlin was motivated by personal
revenge against the president. To
others, it looked as though he was
out to aid Landon.
Father Coughlin may have been a
very sincere crusader for social JUS
tice. But surely he did not know how
to play his political cards. He made
a mistake when he organized new
political party, because the liberals
OF America resent the organization
OF new party by any one man, OF
even a small group of men; the only
justification for new party is or
gan1zation on broad mass base. The
Union party did not present a broad
mass base. which can only come from
the organized farmers and workers oil
America.
Had Father Coughlin stuck to his
original plan of combining his activi-
ties to congressional candidates, he
today would be one of the most pow
erful and potent factors in American
political life. His early radio talks
had the ring of true liberalism. But
when he left the role of economic lee
turer and assumed that of a politician
he became Incorporate and abusive
For this role he was i'll fitted. He
perhaps now sees that himself.

CHURCH BEER
(The st. Paul Daily News)


Minneapolis churches, or some of
them, are protesting against a city
ordinance which would permit the
sale of 3.2 beer at church and lodge
bazars.
The ordinance signed by Mayor
Latimer authorizes the sale of beer
under twO-day permits. COuncilmen
adopted it when it was reported that
some churches were selling beer at
bazars.
Legally it would seem that the sale
of 80 beer is proper enough. Legally
such beverage is mountaineering. Ac-
tually the reverse is true.
But the suggestion that if thirsty
person wants drink of beer, he
should go to a church bazaar is, at
least, original and piquant.
After all, if the churches do not
stand for some adherence to a code
of personal conduct, they don't stand
for much. We have plenty of 3D.
joints without going to church for it.

First Hand Dope On
Gopher Football

Minneapolis, Nov. 17-"If we play
good football we can beat Wisconsin,
Bernie Bierman told 500 members of
the Minneapolis Journals Downtown
Quarterbacks club at their weekly
meeting Monday. At no time this
season, in discussing a future game,
has the Minnesota coach painted a
brighter picture of the teams pros
poets. "That doesn't mean we can't
be beaten" he added, because If we
play bad football we can be beaten,
but the boys are capable of winning
and l believe they will have the nee
essary fighting attitude"
The Gopher coach was lavish in his
praise of the Texas team which Min
nesota defeated Al to 10 last Saturday.
lone of the most striking features of
the game" Bernie said, was the
spirit with which the Texas boys
played even after they knew they
were beaten"
"In other games this season our OPP
ponents have either become panicky
or have given up in disgust after we
have piled up a safe lead against
them; but the Texas players played
the game all the way through. They
did not lose their heads nor their
hearts. AS a result they were much
too good for our third and fourth
string players near the end of the
game"
Bierman was asked to tell the
Quarterbacks something about Larry
Buffers playing, BUTLER having been
the most effective man on the field
last Saturday. I'VE have known all
along that BUTLER had great posi-
bilities," Bierman said, she is big
fellow with a lot of speed and power
and he loves to play football. During
his freshman year and during spring
practice he was trained at right half
back but when it became evident that
we had enough halfbacks and needed
fullbacks, his size made him the log
ical choice for trial at fullback.
He showed promise from the outset
but, naturally, needed time to adjust
himself to the position. He feels at
home there now and l am sure that
if he continues at fullback, he will be
just as good as any of the great Min
nesOta fullbacks of the last nine or
ten years. 1t may be, however, that
he will be more needed at halfback
next year. In that event he will play
equally well in that position. He is a
great football player"
Bernie was asked to make a predic-
tion on the outcome of the North
western-Notre Dame game next Sat
urday. "As near as l can tell" he
said, "it's a dead even game. l can't
see anything to choose between the
two teams. Notre Dame has been
alternately good and bad from week
to week. 1t was good last week so, if
it keeps alternating as in the past
it is due to be bad next week; but
nobody knows. Maybe it will change
step and play two good games in sue
cession. If it does it has an even
chance"
Bierman will depart from his usual
practice of taking his team out of
town Thursday night when they go to
Wisconsin. Instead he will hold a
practice at home Friday morning and
leave Friday noon. His reason is
that, in uncertain weather this time
of year, there would be no place to

practice in Milwaukee or Madison
Friday. At home he has field house
to use if necessary. He believes the
boys will have a thrill riding the
high-speed Hiawatha in the afternoon,
too.
Asked about the strength of this
years freshmen team he said he had
had little time to watch the fresh
men work, but gathered from the re-
ports of freshmen coaches that the
squad was about average in strength.
He said he expects to find a reason
able number of useful players among
the new boys when he meets them in
spring practice.

THE LEGEND OF THE BALD EAGLE

Editor Askov American:
There is a legend among the print
tive Indians of Alaska between whom
| spent ten years, that the bald eagle,
when it mates, the feminine srecies
rises to dizzy heights in its flights
and that the male who can nearest
approach it is its mate for that year.
Among all the phenomenas of nature
the eagle is the rare species where
the female is stronger than the male.
Whether this will stand the searching
eyes of science | can't say.
But ! can say that the average man.,
no matter what his background may
be, knows enough to interpret the laws
of nature-he knows certain things
are right or wrong and when his final
decision is made--he follows the man
who can soar the highest.

FATHER COUGHLIN RETIRES
(The Minnesota Leader)

The decision of Father Coughlin
to go off the air"-which means his
virtual retirement as an active public
figure-was not entirely unexpected,
but was nevertheless the act of a man
who accepted decision against him.
Father Coughlin faced the facts
realistically. He minced no words
when he said the tremendous vote for
President Roosevelt discredited the
National Union for Social Justice,
which he organized. He stated that
the people, by their vote, have made
the President a dictator.
We are satisfied that Father Cough
lin is mistaken in that respect. No
such thoughts were in the minds of
the people. The people made Pres
ident Roosevelt their representative
with an assignment to carry out GER
tain job in social and economic engi-
neering-and with definite under
standing of what that job is to be.
If President Roosevelt goes before the
Congress with must" program of
social security legislation, the dicta-
ton to Congress will not be President
Roosevelt's but the peoples.
The people expect their president to
keep faith. They expect him to carry
out the job before Congress.
What was the reason-Or the rea-
sons-for Father Coughlin's political
failure? He had program for none
tary reform which unquestionably had
merit. There is no question but that
he wanted to do something for the I'M
derdog-for the unfortunate. But he
Joined the brigade of red" hunters.
He saw red when there was no red;

Another reason for Father Cough

that he associated himself with such

Fascist racketeer, rabble rouser and
opportunist of the lowest type. This
made people doubt his sincerity. Also

TERAS-LUOMA VOWS
ARE EXCHANGED AT
SANDSTONE SATURDAY

MISS Vivian Luoma, only daughter
OF Gust Luoma of the Finlayson COM
munity, became the bride of Mr.. John
Teras of Duluth, formerly of the Ell
bow Lake neighborhood, at ceremony
performed by Rev. John A. Hughes at
his home in Sandstone Saturday aft
ernOon at 1870 o'clock. The brides
maid was Ruth Sahlen, classmate
from Sandstone. The groom was at
tended by his brother, Hugo Teras.
A wedding dinner was served at the
home of the brides father immed-
lately following the ceremony.
Mrs. Teras attended the grade
school at Finlayson and was grad
uated year ago from the Sandstone
high school. She has lived at home
with her parents and two brothers
two miles east of here all her life
and cared for her mother during her
last illness the past summer and fall.
The wedding was a quiet one owing
to the familys recent bereavement.
Mr.. Teras lived in Sandstone be-
fore coming to the Elbow Lake neigh
borhood with his mother and STEP
father, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Harris
about Is years ago and both young
people have many friends who wish
them much happiness together. They
left Sunday afternoon for Duluth
where they will make their home.
On Thursday night about 35 friends
surprised the bride-to-be and pre-
sented her with many fine and useful
gifts. On Saturday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Teras gave a wedding dance at
the village hall and a large crowd
was in attendance, who reported a
fine time. Mr.. and Mrs. Kane and
Mrs. Korpi of Duluth, and Mr.. Suhlo
Saarela, half-brother of the groom
and his wife and son, Wallace and
Lorraine Aikka of Minneapolis, were
here for the dance.
