sorship of this worthwhile work.
In this connection the speaker
urged that Scoutmasters emphasize
the Constitution in their association
with the boys as no dictatorship either
of the proletariat or of any individ-
ual has a place on American shores.
He advised that the boys teaching
should include frugality, economy
and good morality and voiced the
need of an adequate civil service sys-
tenn in government, saying that if
the spoils system is done away with
there could be up to 20 per cent
saving in cost of government. He
advocated the merit system to Scouts.
A program booklet was placed by
each plate showing the names of
the Scout committees, Scoutmasters
and sponsoring organizations. There

Tells of Other Countries.

Miss Geraldine Westaby of the
Northwest Assemblies, entertained
the high school pupils last Thurs
day with an interesting talk on her
many trips abroad to points in Eu-
rope. Her topic dealt on youth in
Germany" She told of the GUS
toms and daily habits of the people
in Germany and other countries in
Europe.
Miss Westaby denied the truth OF
the old saying, handsome is as hand
some does" She said the customs
and manners of foreign countries are
SO different that it is necessary
to adapt ourselves to them in order
to be graceful and courteous in
their country. She had dolls from
almost every country in Europe which
she displayed so we could observe the
costumes of their native lands. She
informed us of many of the different
table manners in foreign countries
as compared to ours. Her discus
sion was very interesting and the
pupils discovered many things about
our foreign neighbors which they
did not know before and had never
read about in history books.
New Animals Here.
The arrival of IL living marine
animals has created much interest
among the students. They are kept
in five gallons of ocean water from
the Atlantic together with lot of
sea lettuce. Among the sea water
animals are the starfish, the hermit
crab and the sea urchins. The biolo-
gy class will take care of this marine
aquarium and study the habits of
the various types of salt water forms
BY careful attention and special care
they might live for some time, al
though some of them may die within
a few days. Anyone who is interested,
is invited to visit the laboratory and
see these sea water animals.
Sports.
The Askov high school basketball
team inaugurated its 1878 season
with a "a to % victory in a hard
fought contest with Sandstone last
Friday night. The game was played
on SandStone'S new auditorium floor
before fairly large crowd which in
Guided a good percentage of Askov
supporters. The starting lineup for
Askov was Miller and Hyldahl at
forwards, Degerstrom at center, and
Madsen and Sandahl at the guard
posts. R. Sandahl, Askov's captain
was ineligible and thus unable to
play.
Sandstone displayed flashing Of
tense which, for a while, caught
Askov unawares. AS a result Sand
stone was in the lead at half time
IL to 9. The second half was more
in Askov's favor. Degerstrom tipped
in two baskets and Hyldahl and Mad
sen contributed to the offense. Fin
ally in the last minute of play, Askov
grabbed the lead and at the same
time, Madsen was forced to leave
the game on fouls. A few plays

Rush at Post Office.

During the next two weeks the
annual Christmas rush of business
will be in full swing at the post
office. In this connection it is well
to remember that mail for the fore
noon train must be accepted in the
post office before o'clock in order
to be dispatched on that train. The
mail for that train must be properly
sacked and ready to leave the office
by 9:20. South bound mail is also
dispatched on the noon train and
is then routed via Superior. Such
mail gets into the Twin Cities only
six hours later than that on the fore
noon train and in most cases final
delivery is at the same time. Avoid
the morning rush by bringing in your
parcels during the afternoon.

Danish Radio Program Again.

Peder Back, the well known and
popular seed man at Racine, Wis,
has just sent out announcements to
the effect that he has again this
year arranged for Christmas pro-
gram of Danish records to be broad
cast over station WTMJ (620 Kcys),
Milwaukee, Wis, from 4:30 to $50
in the morning of Christmas day
December Is. One of the reasons for
the early hour is that practically all
other stations are then closed and
that should make it possible to hear
the Danish program from coast to
coast and in Canada. The program
consists almost entirely of well known
Danish Christmas hymns.
