FOR BETTER CONSERVATION

Editor Askov American:
Conservation policies in our state
in the last six years have suffered
from many causes, the chief allment
has been politics! We hope that this
period is over with the appointment
of Herman G.. WenZel as commits
sioner of conservation, in our state.
We belive that Governor Benson made
splendid choice, which we hope
that future policies of the new COM
missioner will verify.
Minnesota has several thousand
CCC boys in number of camps dis
tributed throughout our state. AS
whole they are busy with knick-
knackS which amount to next to Moth
ing, when future results are taken
into consideration.
We suggest that our Conservation
department get in touch with the
powers that be and make arrange
mentS to secure about one-third of
them for conservation work along
the many trout streams in Mime
sofa.
The work we have in mind is to
build small dams here and there along
these streams everywhere in the state,
where natural conditions permit the
erection of dams, or a series of small
and large dams on the smaller creeks
in order to retain enough water to
make it safe from winter killing, be-
cause of the shallowness of the stream,
depending upon the water shed and
amount of springs which feed the
stream.
These small dams could be built
from native rock, plastered with
beaver mortar, native mud, which
has been proved so successful by
these workers. Such arrangement
would do the work, without extra
expense, because the CCC boys are
on the pay roll of the government
anyway
Such plan would build up trout
fishing in Minnesota far beyond the
faintest hope and expectations, and
would in five years make Minnesota
the greatest trout fishing state in the
middle west.
We hope the Commissioner of Con-
servation, Mr.. Wenzel, will take up
this plan and put it over. If pre-
sented right we see no reason why
the government should not cooperate
in this movement, which will mean
so much to conservation, and be of
everlasting credit to the CCC depart
ment which will live in history when
the CCC workers will have become
an unknown quantity.
We kindly ask conservation and
sport organizations and newspapers
interested throughout the state to give
this plan boost to focus public opin-
ion and assist Mr.. Wenzel to put it
over!

Sandstone, passed away at the Pine
City hospital on Thursday morning,
July %, after an illness of few
weeks. He was working at his trade
as stone cutter when he was over
come, from which effects he failed to
recover. He was SO years old at the
time of death.
Funeral services were held from
the Larson Bros. chapel with Rev.
R. Deursen officiating. The Vasa
lodge of which he was a member,
was in charge of arrangements. The
Odd Fellows lodge, of which he was

A Political Football

A recent item in the press tells
of several men being on the payroll
of the North Dakota State Mill and
Elevator who were not delivering
any service to that institution. The
information was given during trial
through which the State Industrial
Commission attempts to collect $780,
900 from the state bonding fund be-
cause of alleged illegal expenditures
by the mill under the tenure of A.
F. Bonzer, Jr., general manager.
This situation reminds us of the
days when the Mill was the football
upon which every one bounced dur
ing election campaigns. In the early
days of the Mill the Independent
Voters Association (IVA to North
Dakota voters) claimed that the Mill,
which was established by Nonparti-
san League influence, was a White
Elephant and the Nonpartisans
claimed that IVA administrations in
the state deliberately made it lose
money to cast aspersions on the pro-
gressive element and its policies.
But the Mill is still located in the
northwest edge of Grand Forks and
still on the North Dakota side of the
Red river, and the state was still
solvent the last we heard of it, but
according to the news item they are
still having fun playing football"
However in all seriousness, it is
difficult to see why project organ
lied for the benefit of the people in
general, should be used as political
capital even to the extent that it is
purposely caused to lose money un-
der circumstances favorable to its
making money.

MARKHAM THEORY WON'T DO (?)
Editor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
Read Karel Marn Capital" It
has got nothing to do with Marx,
himself. for he just tells the story
how Capital works and affects
labor.
If S. j. Simonsen thinks that Cap
ital' is not bound to go under or
prefers Gas most people do) to save
it from going under, then of course
we have to alter it in one or another
way. The best way to save Gap
ital' is not to be too reactionary
or liberal, but inject it now and then
whenever it comes in the pinch Qike
1t did lately) with Socialistic serum.
If things improve like they are bound
to do, fight, then, with all your pow
er against further injections of So
cialiStic serums, especially when your
own economical conditions have i'm
proved, thanks to the Socialistic
serums.
Do not forget that Russia was
never free of the chains of capital,
neither got equality and need more
discipline than half-baked democ-
racy in order to keep what it gained.
Whether this is possible, 1 dare not
judge.
The failure of the MARKHAM theory,
by the way Mr.. Simonsen uses it in
his article, can be applied to any
founder of political or religious ideas.
More or less they all failed, JEFF
ferson, Washington, Lincoln, Moses
and Jesus of Nazareth the most of all,
and so did Napoleon, Mr. Simonsen's
favorite CD
Today the aspirants for public Of
flee are digging into the graves of
all these Saints turning the bones over
and over again, to find a clause to
entertain America out of the claws
of capital, instead of by marching
on to the capital in order to save the

Run To Uncle

To those who state that propaganda
cannot provoke war hatred in this
country we wish to recommend as
a good example the news item about
two women who complained to the
American Ambassador at Peiping,
China, that some japanese soldiers
had BADLY assaulted" them while
they were walking past the Japanese
embassy one night recently. The
women, Miss Carol Lathrop of WASH
ington, D. c., and Mrs. Helen B. Jones
of Detroit, Mich, claimed that they
were kicked and showed around by
the men. We venture so say that
some people who read the item,
which was given much play" in the
daily press, were practically ready
to have arms borne against Japan
in retaliation.
However, the Japanese government,
upon learning of the incident, apol-
ogized to the United States for the
''insult" and of course all is serene
now. But, if Japan had not apollo
gized! Well, we all remember the
history of the Chicago fire when a
cow kicked over a lantern. There
fore we know what a kick will do
and in this case "some people" would
have been ready to have the United
States pounce upon Japan for the
effrontery of some of its soldiers.
There are still American citizens
who will take chances of embroiling
their country in war and take chances
of getting thousands of their young
countrymen slaughtered by flirting
with assaults" in war and danger
zones in foreign countries. The ones
who appear in the headlines as the

nation, which consist of have and
have not; a nation of producers and
non-producers, where the nOn-pro-
ducers predominant the producers.
Call the opponents of that system
Jeffersonians or MarXians, but for
me it has the same meaning-of get
ting more equality and happiness for
all of us.

NO PAINLESS TAXATION
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
After the tax battle is over, many
people are kicking because they will
have to pay new taxes. Painless
taxation is about like painless dem
tistry, you read about it, but there
is no such animal. Also considerable
talk is heard about that certain taxes
will be passed on to the consumer,
again they are right-the only tax
that can't be passed on is an inherit
ance tax, dead people do not under
stand how to pass on taxes.

PeatmOSS for House Plants.

When the time comes to repOt the
house plants, do not forget that peat
moss in the soil mixture will keep
the earth in the pots from drying
out too quickly under house con-
ditions. If the plants do not need
reporting, it is helpful to scrape off
the top inch of soil and replace with
a fresh surface containing plenty of
peatmoss.
One-third peatmoss is not too much
for moss types of house plants. Mix
this thoroughly with one-third rich
sifted compost and one-third sand
or gravel.
After reporting, place the plants in
a tray of water so that they may be
well moistened. When the surface
soil becomes wet, remove the pots
from the water.
Peatmoss absorbs many times its
own weight in moisture so that plants
ported in soil mixed with peatmoSS
need less watering and keep healthier.
The only plants which do not like
peatmosS are those which must have
very alkaline soil, for peatmoss is
acid to some extent.
Seeds of plants that are to be saved
should be carefully watched for and
protected. 1t is good plan to mark
those stalks which are especially
good, so that their seed will certainly
be salvaged. A small cheesecloth
sack may be tied about the flower
so that the seeds will not escape.
Your porch should have a dis
play of flowers and plants to make
it really comfortable appearing This
is easily accomplished by hanging
wall brackets with sockets for pots.
Then, you can either move plants
from the indoor garden or get new
ones which can be brought in in
the fall.
Cutting flower stems under water
will sometimes revive fading, but
only for short time.
The trouble most people have in
making an arrangement of flowers
is that they try to include too many
blooms. Next time, try extracting
a few when you think you have done
your best. Oftentimes, the result is
surprising.
The Japanese, who are experts at
arranging flowers, and whose in
fluence is seen nowadays in the So
called modern" practices, say that
stems should never be crossed.
