Credit Union Four Years Old.

The fourth annual meeting of the
Askov Community Credit Union was
held in the town hall yesterday after
noon, with a fair attendance. The an
nual report of the secretary-treasurer
was read and accepted. The Union
had very noticeable increase over
last year, although it is still only a
small concern. Their statement
shows that they have IS actual msm-
bers and 10 depositors; during the
year there have been % borrowers
and 43 loans have been made. Total
amount of the loans made during 1885
is $4,000 and loans outstanding at the
end of the year amount to S1,34S.82.
The net profit for the year is only
$3.50 which of course is carried over
as undivided profit.
Officers elected for the year are as
follows: directors for three years: H.
r. Buck, Adolf Jensen and ]. r. Peter
sen; all were reelected. There are
nine directors; the six that hold over
are as follows: Chr. Sorensen, A. Ora
vesen, Geo. c. Jensen. Chr. Sandahl,
christopher Nielsen and Hans Clau-
sen. Supervisory committee is as fol-
lows: Alfred L. Nielsen, J. P. Soren-
sen and Erling Nielsen, the two for
mer being reelected and the latter
replacing j. c. Jensen who declined
reelection. The credit committee con-
sists of Chr. Sorensen. H. r. Buck and
Hans Clausen, the two latter were re-
elected and the former replaces Adolf
Jensen who declined reelection.
One of the rules of the organization
is that borrower can not be an Of
ficer of any kind, thus while the or
ganization is small it is necessary to
double up on some of the offices.
j. r. Petersen will continue as Sec
retary-treasurer. So far none of the
officers have received any compensa a

ceSSity of going to dentist if they
could pay the bill. Our needs have
been put off because we have not
been able financially. I'VE have used
all letters in the alphabet except
three" said Mrs. lie Sueur, land
think they are pretty good letters
USA." She explained that these
could represent United Sterilization
Administration, and explained how
USA notes could be issued as medium
of exchange among the people. This
would be one way of keeping a
stable exchange system. These notes
could always buy the same amount
of the products of our production. At
the present time there is no way of
getting money in the United States
without someone going in debt-even
the government. There is no other
way to get it in circulation. If these
USA notes were issued, directly based
on production that would solve the
question, thinks the speaker. The
constitution allows for the govern
ment to regulate the value of money
but the banking interests have
usurped that power The notes could
be used as a medium of exchange
and then could be redeemed and taken
out of circulation. We must find
way of more adequate exchange and
place money on a basis of exchange
instead of exploitation.
Mrs. LIE Sueur paid one parting
compliment to,sthe AAA in stating
that it had served a good purpose
in taking some dumb clucks" of
farmers and making them think col
lectively; therefore. it should not be
difficult in the future to get them
in this mood. .
We do not know how close we are
to war and fascism. We should be
on our guard, advised the speaker,
and fight for our rights before it is
too late. She paid tribute to Cover
nor Floyd B. Olson for having the
courage to serve the people in face
of many threats and Cdscouragements.
Bosch Talks.
Mr. Bosch gave a report on a spe-
cial convention the Holiday had re-
Gently and also commented briefly on
the supreme court decision discard
ing the AAA program. He stated that
the supreme court did not declare
the program unconstitutional because
it did not help the farmers, but rather
because of the dictates of big bust
ness. Mr.. Bosch explained that the
overthrow of the AAA has left mil
in the hands of the packers and in
formed his audience that Arthur
LIE Sueur of Minneapolis was giving
his assistance in bringing those taxes
back to the producer from whom they
originated
Warns Farmers.
There will possibly have to be test
cases and it is thought, said Mr..
Bosch, that the money can be forced
back to the ones who paid it. He
stated that Chicago attorneys have
already been in the field soliciting
the farmers to sign up with them
employing them to collect the pro-
cessing taxes. This, Mr.. Bosch says,
is unnecessary and unfair because
the attorneys ask 20 per cent of the
amount coming to the farmer for their
services. Mr.. Bosch advised the farm
ers to not obligate themselves to any
one in this matter until a test case
has been made in their favor.
Continuing into other discussions
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-01-16

the speaker stated that so many do
not know the difference between COM
petition and cooperation. In coopera-
and sell for as little as we can. In
that way the producers get the bene-
| fit of their labOrs. In the competitive
system production is exploited in order
that profit as large as possible can
be made. In this connection Mr. Bosch
advised a campaign of cooperative
education. Representatives from all
cooperative organizations should meet
and assist in the promotion of county
wide and state wide meetings at
which competent speakers on cooper
alton will be present. There are
$500 cooperative associations in Min
nesota and they can do considerably
in this work if they will get together
Mr.. Bosch explained, that there
were three methods of action in the
minds of the people today. Some be-
lieve that political action is neces-
sary to get us out of our difficulties.
Some believe in cooperation and then
tion AS for himself Mr. Bosch adj
vised that cooperation is the proper
method and that gradually it can
force capitalism out of the picture.
In being asked if he was in favor
of the statement made BY Milo Reno,
ISOLATION, advocating the Townsend
Plan, Mr.. Bosch stated that he did
not see how Mr.. Reno would go on
record for the Holiday for a system
that would virtually be financed by
sales tax. He said as long as he
was personally able he would fight
such a plan. Of course, said Mr..
Bosch, it would be nice to have that
income and we can have it in another
way without the sales tax method of
raising the money. There are other
forms of taxes and foremost among
these is the corporate excess tax.
In this manner it would not be taken
from the poor.
Mr.. Nelson Talks.
In leading off the afternoons pro-

some of the problems the State grain
grading inspectors faced. He stated
that the federal grading system had
continued robbing the producer and
many times the state inspectors were
threatened with the loss of their fed
eral licenses if they did not lower
their grading schedule. He told of
the fight to overcome this and of the
good that has been done.
Mr.. Nelson stated his opposition to
the general system of doing business
and said that if this was allowed to
continue Wall Street would control
everything. He said of course every
one who desires to change the system
are called communists and he paid
tribute to the Holiday Association as
an outstanding organization since it
was not controlled by Wall Street as
many of the other organizations are.
Mr. Nelson advised the people of the
middle west to work together for a
common cause and, to forget little
things between neighbors.

wright. As in the case of all Cornell
productions, this one Is acted with no
flaws which will not disappear as the
play moves on toward the run Of which
Miss Cornell's reputation seems its
greatest assurance. 10 MielNner's s
decorations, especially the bleak New
England "parlor" Of the first two acts,
are quite up to the Mielziner standard.
WALTER ABEL again plays opposite
Miss Cornell. His is the exact
ing role Of the sea captain, seeking q
home in the world for his Malay wife,
finding none and renouncing finally
the love which has become a madden

SO much as Anderson did its writing.

as the frost-bitten New England

of the Anderson 1885 class of violence

CredtlOn OF tnab cnaracCer ShS Is IN
debted to Maxwell Anderson, whose
wont 1t 50 often Is to write in deep
anger. Yet here, for all his mastery of
art!culate wrathfulness, Anderson's
fury occasionally seems to get out of
/. hand. If he does not overwrite what
he feels, he still writes beyond the
power of the audience to go hand in
hand with him along the familiar
path Of rage and dismay.
In view Of its inspiration by the
Medea legend, it is excessive to say that
the story of The Wingless Victory
is one of exceptional vitality. At mo-
ments 1t glowS with new splendor In
the fine and beautiful lines of Ander-
son as read by Miss Cornell Yet there
? are other times when one finds oneself
: detached from the torrent of eloquence
wondering If East and West ever before
exchanged 50 many words at any Of
their always tragic meetings.
OPARRE, the Malay princess bride
Of q New England sea captain,
brings the warmth, beauty, pride, wis
dom and civilization of the East into
the cold, narrow and provincial Salem,
Mass, Of the period of 1900. None of
the rich gifts that time has bestowed
upon her people Is of avail to break
down the barriers of race raised
against her. She rejects her own
deities to accept theirs, she offers
warmth in return for their coldness,
gentleness for their cruelty, and
always she remains an outcast.
Finally, reduced to an awareness of
her pride, Oparre turns on the husband
who has turned against her-and on
his family and Salem's vicious Chris
tians-to speak her rejection Of the
West in terms as soaring as Anderson
ever wrote In this moment, the sec
ond act curtain, Miss Cornell carries
her audience to heights which she
alone reaches with such matchless
artistry. The same fierce pride, por-
trayed splendidly, writes an end to her
beautiful love-and ugly life-in the
murder Of her two half-breed children
and in her suicide.
The role, for all its length, gives Miss
Cornell the opportunities she needs for
the full revelation of her magnificent
talent. Scorn, her richest form of ex-
preston as Oparre, rarely has been so
deadly as she voices it in the long
speech which discloses the hatred of
which the East is capable when sufi-
ctently goaded.
