'Hinckley Woman
Takes Own Life
Long Illness With PERM
cious Anemia May Have
Led to the Violent Act.

Mrs. Nellie Williamson White OF
southwest of Hinckley, left husband
and son to mourn when she suddenly
shot herself with % calibre rifle
while they were doing chores Monday
morning. Mrs. White had been in
i'll health for long period, but her
apparently cheerful disposition on the
fatal morning gave no suggestion to
the husband and son of the impend-
ing tragedy, but when coming in
from the barn they found her lifeless
body on the floor.
Mrs White was born near Kalona
Iowa, on Oct %, 1880, and came
to Minnesota in May, 1884. She had
resided in the Hinckley community
since Nov. 2, 1885. After her mar
riage to Tullius Vernon White on
Feb. II, 1909 at the home of her
parents in Iowa City, Iowa, the couple
moved to a farm near Hampton
Iowa, and in 1920 moved to Dumont
that state. In 1884 they moved to
Bemidji and to Pine county in 1885
The deceased was member of the
Christian church. She leaves her
husband and one son, Wayne, be-
sides her mother who resides at Iowa
City, Iowa.
Funeral services were held at
Hinckley Wednesday at p. m. with
Rev. Paul Hendricks officiating. Pail
bearers were Frank Koop, Arthur

Midland Coop In
Its Annual Meet
Gov. Benson, Jacob Baker,
Assistant Works Progress
Administrator to Speak.

The eleventh annual meeting OF
the Midland Cooperative Wholesale
marking the completion of the tenth
complete year of operations of that
concern, will be held in its plant in
Minneapolis on June and 9. Gov
Elmer A. Benson and Jacob Baker
assistant administrator of the Works
Progress Administration, will be the
headline speakers on the program.
The appearance of Mr.. Baker on
the afternoon of June is interest
ing because of the recent report OF
the Committee on Inquiry into Co.
operative Enterprise in Europe, OF
which Mr.. Baker was chairman. He
has indicated that his speech will
deal largely with his observation OF
outstanding cooperative enterprises
and methods in the European coun-
tries, with some reference to the
problems of cooperative development
in this country.
Governor Benson will speak at the
annual rally to be held at the West
hotel on the evening of June 8.
Reviewing the period since start
ing it is seen that Midland has grown
from a total business of $4,000 in
1927 to that of 3,033,000 in 1886.
About 900 to be Present.
Oscar Lindroth of Hinckley, will
attend the meeting as delegate from
the Pine Coop Oil Association and
will be one of the 600 expected at
the meeting. Each local association
having at least one share in the

superfluous to again call attention
to what has, with rare unanimity,
been characterized as a major inter-
national crime.
What the League intends to do
about the Spanish accusation is not
known, but the probability is that
it will take no decisive step.
Prime Minister Chamberlain.
Stanley Baldwin, tired of what he
calls the "intolerable burden of Of
fice," has resigned from his post as
prime minister of Great Britain, and
his successor is Neville Chamberlain
who for some time as treasurer of
the empire has been an influential
member of the government; the
change of the head of the cabinet
causes no particular furry in the vast
empire, for, in the first place, it was
so thoroughly known beforehand
what was going to happen, and in the
second place, Mr.. Chamberlain is as
reassuringly conservative in politics
and opinions as was his predecessor,
so that while there is new face in
the famous office at 10 Downing
Street, London, there is no change
of anything else.
Anthony Eden remains foreign
minister in the British government,
and to some people this is consid-
cred fortunate while others appear
to feel that he has disappointed his
friends and admirers; much was ex-
pected of Mr. Eden when he took
over what is certainly one of the
most responsible posts in the world
today, and-let it be said-he has
not been able or willing to fulfill the
expectations with which his activ-
tiles were anticipates; no doubt he
has been handicapped because of
the composition of the Baldwin gov
eminent, and will so remain in the
future since all His Majesty's min
listers are if not exactly reactionary
at least extremely conservative.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY PAUL JOHN KvALE, M. C..

Certainly there has been no lack
of news this week in the Nations
capital. AS a matter of fact it is
difficult to determine just where to
start on a brief but fairly compre-
hensive round up.
For instance: We have witnessed
in Washington this week extension
of what the President has described
as the frontiers of social progress.
The advance has been from two di-
rections. First, the Supreme Court
upheld the constitutionality of the
governments vast social security pro-
gram, embracing old age pensions,
unemployment insurance, and the
abolition of child labor. Second, Con-
gress has been asked to-and prob
ably will-enact law which estab-
fishes maximum hours and mini
mum wages in interstate industry.
Historians of the future will de-
vote a great deal of space to these
twin developments in our national
life, for they mark the beginning of
a new era-an era in which the fed
eral government steps out into new
field of enterprise. Just how far we
will go it is yet impossible to pre-
dict-but we are on our way.
Probably no other decision by the
Supreme Court affected so many
people as did its valuation of the
social security act. 1t is estimated
that 27,000,000 workers were con-
cerned, and about 100000 employ
ers. The magnitude of the program
is demonstrated not alone by the
number of workers affected, but also
by the taxes which are imposed to
operate it. The payroll tax levied
against employers to support the I'M
employment insurance aspect of the
law will amount to almost billion
dollars by 1850. The old age an
nuity tax on both employers and en-
ployes is estimated to yield a bill
lion, seven hundred million by 1850
1t got by the Supreme Court by
a narrow margin. Once, again the
court was divided to 4 on the I'M
employment insurance feature, and
to 2 on the old age pensions. Again
the four conservatives, Justices Suth-
erland, Van Devanter, Butler and
McReynolds, banded together in op-
position. And again it was the vote
of Justice Roberts which decided
what the Constitution really means
We now have for the first time
in our history federal safeguards
against the hardships of unemploy-

At Just about the moment when the
Spanish government appeared before
the extra meeting of the League of
Nations in Geneva as accuser against
Italy, a dangerous international stu
alton arose because Spanish govern
ment airplanes bombarded the Ger
man miniature battleship, "Deutsch-
land" killing % men of the crew
and wounding 83. Germany did not
wait many hours before retaliating-
and German warships bombarded the
city of Almeria with the result that
at least 20 persons, some of them
women and children, were killed.
This is, of course, plainly what is
ordinarily understood as war and
may cause repercussions to an ex-
tent that cannot at this moment be
calculated. British and French di-
plomacy Immediately began function
ing for the purpose of averting war,
and on Tuesday it was said that
there was reason for believing that
a major catastrophe would be
avoided.
Warning to Hitler.
From London as we'll as from Paris
warnings were sent to Adolf Hitler,
chief executive of the German gov
eminent, that unless he remains calm,
he might plunge all Europe into a
new war. The British and the
French government are, it is said,
equally interested in the problem of
preventing the Spanish civil war
from spreading, and while they are
fanatically preparing for military
emergencies, they are by no means
ready for them at this moment.
The Spanish charge against Italy
is contained in socalled White Book
which accuses Italy of having per-
petrated "the most scandalous viola
ton of international principles since
the World war" Italy is stigmatized
as an actual beliggerent power, and
as a violator of Article 10 of the
League of Nations constitution which
reads as follows:
"The members of the League I'M
dertake to respect and preserve as
external aggression the territorial in
tegrity and existing political indie
pendence of all members of the
League"
How nobly and literally the Italian
government respected this paragraph
when it attacked a fellow-League
member, Ethiopia, is matter of such

Ne,Us Should Reach
This Office Earlier

For some time past there has
been a rather congested condi-
ton in the office of the ASkov
American on Wednesday of each
week so that it has been diff
cult to get the news all set with
out working late into the night
and some times nearly all night.
1t is with this in mind that it is
requested of all correspondents
as well as others who submit
material for publication that they
send their news in little earlier
each week so that the bulk of it
can be set on Tuesday. Late
matter of course, can be sent in
on a following mail so that it
reaches this office on Wednesday
morning.
This is very necessary so that
everything may be assured of
publication in the American each
week.

Standings of the Teams.

Only one game was played, or
rather partially played, in the Pine
County Baseball League Sunday and
that resulted in to decision for
Moose Lake over Askov. The game
was called in the sixth inning with
the score tied all, but according to
the rule of baseball the score at the
end of the preceding full inning de-
cided the winner.
Edin for Moose Lake allowed but
four hits while Otto Jensen of Askov
gave up eight to his opponents. No
box score has been reported.
All other games in the League were
postponed on account of the rain.

last week.
IF high water conditions con-
tinue," Dr. Surber said, "lakes not

the danger of receding water levels
will be stocked next year."
Requests for fish were about the
same this year as in 1886, DR.. Surber

A UBURN is another Southern team
on par with Alabama. I recall
that, after the Villanova game, Clipper
Smith ranked this delegation among
the best he had seen in some time.
Don't forget that Villanova had

Villanova couldn't score against Au-

serve strength to carry out one Of

far harder than Alabama faced-or
most Of the other Southern teams.
Auburn, with the Alabama or other
schedules, could easily have won every
game decisively.
For example. Auburn outplayed
Georgia Tech decisively, 81 to 0, yet
Georgia Tech had an edge against
Alabama when they met, so far as
field form was concerned.
Alabama is good, hard-fighting
football team. But Alabama isn't q
point better than Rice, L. S. U. or
Auburn. Not point. But Alabama
happens to be facing rougher, better
opposition than her Southern neigh
bors are taking to. That makes what
might be called 4 blasting difference.

Three Strong Defenders.

THE South and Southwest have
three strong defenders in Rice,
Louisiana State and Auburn. I don't
believe any unbiased critic can place
any Of these teams below Alabama
In playing strength.
Certainly, L. S. U. and Auburn, at
full playing strength. are rated two
OF the best teams in Dixie. Rice,
after a slow start, came back with a
rush when Lain was ready to move.
And this 215-pound Texas sophomore
can move by land or air. And move
In hurry.
Whizzer White Is almost certain to
prove he is one Of the star entries
Of 1887. But I don't believe Colorado
has the all-around team strength to
match Rice-a stretch-running team
on q par with any in the country.
Rice naturally will center its de-
fense on White and this will give him
. heavy handicap to carry. In spite
of this. the Whizzer still will show
he belongs.

Alabama's Arrival.

THE Crimson Tide comes surging
in again to the flower-scented

assignment the South haste face.
California has first-string team
that can match any in the Nation.
1t hasn't anything like the reserves
that Southern California and STAN
ford once carried-or that Pittsburgh
had this fall.
Alabama's main job will be to hold
off the California assault through the
first two periods-where Howard Jones
and others look for at least two
touchdowns for the Golden Bears.
Most of California's power has been
shown in the first half this fall.
Later, with firing veterans and only
average substitutes, the last two Pc
riods have produced little.
Alabama has been team that
came from behind during the closing
minutes of play. But Alabama SO far
hasn't faced a team so potentially
strong as California.
BY chec'ing back, you'll find that,
In her four main games-against
Tennessee. Tulane. Georgia Tech and
anderbilt-Alabama scored only five
touchdowns. Her four opponents scored
three touchdowns, and Georgia Tech
insists that only faulty ruling took
away a fourth.
Alabama's main hopes lie in smart
ness, gameness and second-half
finish. Alabama's flrst-team strength
isn't up to California's. Alabama's
running attack will have hard after
noon. Her passing is the best chance.
