FARM HOLIDAY NEWS
BY Hjalmer Sandell, Secretary

by secretary
A member from Bruno sent me the
following letter the other day:
please find $500 enclosed for my
dues this year. My subscription to
the Holiday News expired last week
and cannot afford to miss the paper
At the time | opened this letter |
was listening to the radio news and
heard that tens of thousands of work.
ers are joining hands for collective
bargaining in the CLIO unions. Of the
industrial workers in the United
States, more have taken out a union
card in the past three months than
were taken out in the past decade,
and thought for a moment that per-
haps the farmers are awakening to
the fact that they need to organize
also. Well, if they had not been led
to believe that they could get alcng
without the Holiday News, a larger
percentage would have this fine farm
paper, and would know something
about our Holiday Association.
Butterfat is going down and we
have no schedule or agreement signed
up to prevent it from going down.
Through experiments conducted at
Askov some years ago by the agricul-
ture department it was found how
many hours of labor it took to pro-
duce each item of farm produce, and
it was determined that it takes an
hours work to produce a pound of
butter on the yearly average. If this
is true, | maintain that we should
have an hours wages for a pound of
butter, and the average hourly rate S
of pay for wage earners in Minnesota
at this time is about 60 cents. Our
investment in the farm should ac-
count for the same as the workers
investment in home. When we start
ed the Holiday l advocated this idea,
and we may still come to the conclu-
sion that our work is worth as much
as that of someone else.
The meeting season is here. We
may be able to get out after a while,
so look for notices of meeting dates.

Danish Picture at the Vogue.

Guy Thorne, owner of the Vogue
Theatre at Sandstone, announces in
his advertisement this week that the
famous all Danish talking comedy,
SOL Over Danmark," will be shown
in his theatre on the night of Tues
day, May 18. All reports indicate
that this will be an interesting show,
especially from the standpoint of
Danish people. The picture has been
shown in New York and several 9TH
err large eastern cities, also in Chi
cago and Omaha. In every instance
it has been highly praised. In Oma-
ha, for instance, it was shown four
times and each showing was crowded
to capacity.

Water Shortage.
One of the chief troubles we suf-
fered that winter was the urgent need
of water. There was only one well
of water within miles of the settle
ment. This was located right on the
side of the railroad track, at the north
end of the depot platform. 1t was
operated by a windmill (when it wind
eO. The well must have been a deep
one, for it took lot of hand strength
to get the water. This outfit quite
often went, as the lumberjack would
say, haywire. Someone had to run
into Sandstone for well-fixer to get
it going again. In the meantime there
was a sit-down strike on laundry work
and if you wanted drink it was melt
snow or go dry.
l recall some real tragedy that win
ter. The section foreman, on his re-
turn from Sandstone one dreadful
night with some other men, was
struck down and horribly mangled by
fast freight. He tried to pull his
hand car from the track. l think
some others of the crowd was injured.
Then too, a little girl was killed by
the afternoon passenger up the ira k
about a mile. This yOungster had
strayed away from the house and wan
dered onto the railroad. | recOllect

by grief and was unable to carry on

Make Maple Syrup.
We had a Canadian friend come to
our settlement. He and his wife and
family occupied one of the log cabins
close to our dOmicile. We hunted up

way from our cabins, little southeast

knew the game, had made lots of 1t
in the maple bush i'm his native Cana
dian province. He'd fashion the spileS
and tap the trees. | recall the vessel
we used to boil down the sap. 1t was

one used to cook the grub served to
the lumberjacks working in the woods.
AS | reflect now and understand that
it took about 80 gallons of sap
to make a gallon of maple syrup, it
would indicate that we must have
been quite industrious. | wonder if
we could find campers of to-day that
would take in this way some of the
delightful things nature has provided
us. 1t was an experience worth while,
after over II years on the treeless
prairie with its incessant wind and
dust to be sheltered from drifting
billiards and a more tempered atmos-
phere.
We moved away in April after five

Voice From Senate
BY SEN. C. ELMER JOHNSON,
From Pine and Chisago Counties
Senate News.

A concurrent resolution was passed
in the Senate last Thursday urging
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
than, Attorney General Cummings,
the Minnesota members in the United
States Senate and Congress to allo-
cate funds necessary to continue and
complete the proposed federal pris-
on farm at Sandstone. After facts
were laid before the senate showing
that $l,00O,0O0 could be made avail
able and would be expended for fed
eral prison development either in
Minnesota or some other place, the
resolution was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules. Land acquisition
has been completed and every effort
should be made now to get the build
ing under construction.
Peoples Lobby.
Pine and Chisago counties are to
be complimented upon the splendid
delegation which took part in the
Peoples Lobby last week. The Lob
by on Sunday and Monday did good
work and made favorable impress
sion on the legislative members. The
determination to take over the Sem
ate chamber was not SO well adj
viSed and the unfavorable reaction
to that act possibly counter-balances
some of the splendid work earlier on
the program. My personal SYM
pathies are for the unemployed and
the under-privileged, and 1 can I'M
derstand the tense excitement under
which they were laboring. All men,
bers of the tax committee have been
Subpoened to appear at a hearing
on April IA.
The writer is of the impression
that nothing much would have been
said or done about criticizing any of
the acts of the Lobby except for
threats made by certain people of
the Minneapolis delegation. Mime
apolis has group of very agrees
sive militant leaders of the extreme
left policy who believe in direct &C
ton. They are having big city and
county fight for control over politics
in Hennepin county.
Important Bills Passed
House File 40 consolidating pub
lie welfare in the county welfare
board has now passed both House
and Senate and is ready for the Gov
ernor's signature. The board will
consist of not more than three men,
bers from the board of county COM
misSiOners. The other members to
be chosen out of panel of ten names
submitted to the board of control
by the county commissioners.
Appropriations for the various
state departments have been ap-
proved and in most all instances
have been increased.
The Senate tax committee is about
to submit an omnibus bill covering
the whole tax situation. New rev.
enues of about S15,000,000 are pro-
vided for. While no increase in
taxes will ever meet with popular
approval, the increases proposed in
the new bill being based upon in
comes, will be of some help in an
effort to redistribute wealth and to
collect the revenues necessary to
maintain and protect society from
those upon whom it will not be an
unbearable burden. AS soon as ready
the tax measures will be put on spe-
cial order and will be given speedy
passage.
Work has been speeded up late
ly and both the Senate and House
are having two or three sessions
daily. There is an even chance that
work can be completed, that an i'm
mediate special session can be
averted.

News From Denmark.

In renewing her subscription to
the "Askov American" Mrs. Anime
Mogensen sends best wishes to
friends in Askov from her present To-
cation which is Laso, Denmark. She
writes that they had an uncomfort-
able winter with heavy snow, much
storm and cold weather.
Her son, Hans, was confirmed the
4th of April in the same church
where his mother was baptized and
confirmed. The children are not
very fond of the Danish school. She
is not enthused over the conditions
of the Danish farmers, too much reg
imentation and too much taxation,
and in this respect she very much
prefers ASkov.
