Soil Conservation Checks Here.

At the soil conservation meeting
last week the following were selected
as a committee to represent Partrid ee
and Fleming townships: Chris. Fred
eriksen, Almer Ecklund and Werner
Clausen. Mr.. Frederiksen is chair
man and as such automatically serves
on the county committee. The emer
gency county agent, Max McMillin
from Pine City, was present at the
meeting and explained the 1897 crop
conservation program.
During the week about one-third of
the checks for soil conservation for
1886 were received by Mr.. Frederik-
sen and these were handed out Tues
day after the recipient appeared and
signed for same The balance of the
checks for this community are en-
pected in the course of two or three
weeks, but everyone who has a
check coming will be notified direct
by letter when it is available. There
are a number who were among the
first to get their reports in who did
not get their checks in this first
batch; the only explanation to that
is there may have been some correc-
tions or additional correspondence
relative to the report, etc.

High School.

The various games recently intro
duced in the high school and grades
for noon hour recreation are now in
full swing. Probably the most heav-
lily used of all is the ping pong table
set up for the senior high school in
the study hall. Within a short time
the junior high school pupils will
also have table which is now under
construction with Mr.. Coombe and Mr..
Ause as architects.
The arrangements for heating the
noon meals of pupils in the school
are now being completed. The delay
was caused by the difficulty of secur-
ing so large a quantity of one-half
pint Jars at this time of the year.
1t has been announced in school
that all vaccination certificates must
be turned in not later than Friday,
Jan. 20, because at that time the vac
cines will be ordered.
The basketball game scheduled for
January Is, with Finlayson, was post

Friday, Jan. 20, with Sandstone as the
opponent.
The first and second teams played
Pine City January 90. The second
team won the first game by the close
score of IA to 10. The game was
close all the way, with the lead
changing hands several times, Askov
gaining the advantage in the last min
ute of play. The first team played a
good game but lost 25 to II to a good
Pine City team. Pine City showed a
smOOthness that comes with much
playing, the Askov game being their
twelfth game this season.
Elementary Grades.

Legislative News
BY C. G.. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

Not much excitement in the House
of Representatives during the short
week, ending Thursday evening. The
session has decided on short week
and long week, working Saturday
one week and adjourning on Thursday
evening of the next to give members
from a distance a chance to go home
and take care of their own business.
Bills are starting to be passed out
of committees in punches and nearly
three printed pages of general orders
are on all desks. All measures must
be printed and be on everyOne's desk
4S hours before they can be taken up
by the House SO there is not much
chance of anything being slipped over.
On Monday Mr.. Lockwood had an
innocent looking bill before the tax
committee, but when anaiyzed the bill
increased the assessed valuation on
mining ground from so to 60 per cent
of the true valuation. Tnis brought
on a war from mining interests and
the bill was finally Laid over to the
next meeting. other bills increasing
severance taxes on iron ore are in
troduced, and it looks like a hard
year for the mining companies.
Mr.. Stcckwell's bill to re-submit the
constitutional amendment that was
lost at the last election, to allow the
state to trade lands with the gov
eminent, was finally passed after a
stormy argument.
The House voted, Tuesday, to ap-
propriate $1.000,00O to the state old
age assistance fund to pay the
states share of the pensions, but
the next day had to be recalled as
the state revenue fund is Overdrawn
beyond the limit allowed by law, and
this appropriation bill will have to
be amended; by this body, to raise the
money through issuance of anticipa-
tion warrants or some other means.
The Senate cannot amend the bill as
that body cannot introduce a meas
ure which produces revenue. And
this is another argument in favor of
the unicameral or one-house legisla-
ture, a bill for which has been in
troduced by me in the House, and by
Senator johnson in the Senate.
In respect to two houses, all bills
introduced must go through the same
procedure in both bodies, and is just
waste of time and money the way
l see it.
On Thursday, delegation repre-
senting the Youth of Spain came be-
fore the House for an interesting 10
minutes, telling of the war in Spain
and the reasons therefore. One of
the young men spoke in Spanish, with
translation by another.
Although it seems hard to make
the people back home realize it, the
members of a law-making body really
put in long hours of hard work, and
this session seems to be developing
into one of the hardest. With times
on the upgrade, one would think that
the cries of distress would be lessen
ing but it seems that more money is
needed for relief and various other
government functions than ever be-
fore. Where and how it will be done
may be partly solved in the coming
weeks, but l doubt if any program
can be completely worked out for
many years. In 1893 $4,000, 900 was
appropriated for relief, in 1875 $1O,-

Special joint meeting of AskOv viii
lage council and the board of super

of the town hall as a rest room and
for recreational purposes.
All members of the village council
were present and the township board
was represented by Julius S!ott, chair
man of the board and Einar Jensen.

A committee from the Commercial
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-01-28

club appeared before the meeting and
requested that the Commercial club
be granted the use of the town hall
for recreational purposes, and to be
allowed to build temporary partitions
in the building and to make other
necessary alterations in order to put
the building in as good shape as pos
sible for the intended use.
After some discussion, it was moved,
seconded and carried unanimously to
allow the Commercial club the free
use of the hall and lights with the
understanding that the township and
the village may use the hall at any
time for meetings and election pur-
poses.
There being no further business to
come before the meeting, it was
moved, seconded and carried to adj
jOurn.

system of the day and others want
men who know that system.
Every member of the Minnesota
team of 1886 who will be graduated
next June has received offers. Some
have no intention of coaching. Some
want to play more football and will
go into professional leagues. planning
to coach after they have had few
years of pro experience. Some will
az cept the offers.
Steadily, however. Minnesota foot
ball is spreading. 1t took that course
once before, years ago. when DR.. H.
L. Williams was originating scoring
ideas. That era developed such FAM
Gus coaches as Ossie SOlem, Clark
Shaughnessy. DR.. George Hauser, Earl
Martineau and Bernie Bierman.
Emerging above TIE others of that
time, Bierman is setting new fash
ion. In time his pupils will go as
far as DR.. Williams pupils went.
Many successful coaches will emerge
and surely two or three truly great
coaches will reach the top.
The Minnesota system is now in
stalled at Tulane under Red Dawson.
Bill Bevan and Glenn Seidel. Now the
Minnesota system. combining the DR..
Williams influence through Ossie
Solem and the Bernie Bierman influ-
ence through younger men, is going to
move into Syracuse. Solem, as head
coach, has invited Bud Wilkinson and
Bud Svendsen of Minnesota's team of
1886 to become his assistants.
Marshall Wells, a former Mime
sofa tackle, is doing great job with
Yale's line. Phil Bengtson, another
former tackle, is succeeding at the
University of Missouri. Two of Bier
mans pupils who might have had the
brightest careers In coaching, rejected
many handsome offers in order to
start at the bottom of business ca
reers.
They were Pug Lund and Babe Lee
Voir. Members of the Minnesota staff
agreed they would have gone far in
football. They had the intelligence,
the character, the gifts for leader
ship and the instinct for the game
that would have carried them to tie
top; but they made the hard decision
and already have reason to rejoice
for they are fairly racing up the
business ladder. Within a few years
they will be leaders in Minneapolis.
Bud Wilkinson is likely to go the
same way, for business opportunity
awaits him in his fathers office.
Others, of course, are wise to turn
to coaching, if that is where their
deepest interest lies, and if oppor-
tunity presents itself in proper form.
Bud Svendsen is such a man. He is
has a baby son and, nat
urally, likes the quick returns a
coaching job will give him. More
over, he appears to have peculiar gifts
for the work. Bernie Bierman and
DR.. Hauser are eager in their praise
of his industry, his smartness and his
all around qualities. His team mates,
too, predict a grand future for him.
In truth few players have ever left
the Minnesota squad with such unan-
imous and optimistic acclaim.
Ed Widseth, all-American tackle,
will ultimately go to coaching, but it
is likely he will try his hand at pro-
fessional football first. He loves the
rough contacts of the game and has
offers which can hardly be ignored.

100000, and we have before us now
a bill calling for $17,000,000.
No revenue producing measures
have been evolved in tax commit
tee SO far, and l feel now that no
large bill will come up this session,
that is, any form of omnibus bill COW
ering different forms of taxation. 1t
seems that rather the effort will be
to pass separate bills, increasing
rates, ETC., on different classifications,
to produce the needed revenue to fl
nance the affairs of government.
