How pleased he had been
when Rays wife chatted with
him. How proud to select a pound
Of his largest, freshest mush-
rooms!
The woman glanced furtively at
the grinning china man on the
lamp. Only he, besides herself,
knew that the large fresh mush-
rooms had been flushed into the
city's sewers.
Yet her teeth chartered abb
surdly when the doorbeu rang.
The men from the plant! Rays

She forced her still features up;
moved through the shadowy hall.
Turned the latch.
"Ray!"
His named painted from her lips.
"Ray!"
His hands were soft against the
marble of her cheeks. His mouth
was moist when he kissed her.
Sure, it's me baby. Who were
you looking for?"
Words were gone from her. She
followed the lumpy figure into the
dining room, sat gazing at him as
he unlaced his shoes and took
off his sweater.

SURPRISE FOR YOU

"Boy, what a night" Ray was
saying, spilling the words with his
silly laughter. II got a surprise
for you, baby. The boss wants to
take us out to dinner, you and
me-Saturday night. Now what
do you think Of your Raysie-
Tasie?"
The woman's eyes were hidden
by long lasheS. She made her
voice indifferent. (which boss?
You have so many there"
"Vansant," Ray exploded bonn
bastically. "Mr. Frank Vansant
himself! He came to the plant to-
night to look over that Russian
shipment I told you about"
The woman's lip curled, but she
did not laugh.
You know what think, baby?"
the loud voice went on. II think
Vansant's been watching me for
some time And, boy, what
that guy could do for mel"
"What?" Rays wife asked. Be
cause she had to say something.
"Plenty-if ever we get to be
pals! Know what I did tonight?
1 played a joke on him. I got to
thinking Of that swell lunch you'd
fixed for me, mushrooms and all,
and how bachelors like Vansant
must get tired of eating in clubs

chuckle. "And L"

Rays wife was standing now,

The Shadow

Well, as far as Askov is concerned
the old grounding will have to get
out of his good old warm bed in
the near future, if the absence of
his shadow is any criterion. We'd

day for that lowly creature to- emerge
and take a look around, was just too
overcast to be of any assistance in
keeping spring away and so, accord
ing to all predictions this community
should have spring in six mon =,
or rather we mean weeks.
That is all legendary, of course,
but we humans do like to keep our
traditions. AS we have always stated,
it is apparent that all of the early
spring people of this section get out
of the age-old shadowless ground
hog, is to sit by the window during
April and read seed catalogs. After
all the deciding hand in whether we
get spring or not is Old Mother Ma
ture, and we surely do walk the chalk
until she says we can enjoy again the
spring flowers and showers and lis

BIG BUSINESS CHANGES TUNE
ABANDONS PLEA FOR SMALL
RTJSINESS
(Springfield Advance-Press)

(Springfeld Advance-Press)
In the propaganda against the I'M
divided profits tax the favorite argu-
ment of Big Business was that "it
will be especially burdensome on the
little fellow" o, how solicitous
they were for the small corpora
tions!" They wanted the law re-
pealed, not so much for themselves
(they could take care of themselves
but because of their love for the
little fellow"
It never occurred to them that
Congress might amend the law so
as to make things easier for the
little fellow instead of wiping out
the law. It seems now that after the
big corporations have had their con-
ferences with the President, the little
fellows are going to be called in.
The President has issued orders that
a representative group of small bust
ness be brought in for a conference.
Taking the big fellows and the
little fellows in for separate con-
ferences evidently isn't looked upon
with favor by some of the country's
greatest industrialists who now fear
that they are going to be discrimin-
ated against. A spokesman for one
of the biggest companies in the cOun-
try Sunday night told the radio audi
ence that it was all wrong to CLASH
fly corporations according to size.
1t is a favorite ruse of Big Bust
ness spokesman who argue against
any reform law to shed crocodile tears
for the widows and orphans and the
workingman and small business men,
pointing out how the law would be
detrimental to the weak, all the while
being fully cognizant of the effect
of the proposed law upon their own
interests. They are looking out for
themselves first, last and all the

DISAGREES WITH PETERSEN,
KNUDSEN

Editor ASkOV American:
In the ASkov American of January
20, 1888, we have Hjalmar Peter
sens article regarding running for
Governor. 1t has always been the
system and policy of the different
political parties to give out names and
drive hard against their opponent,
but when member of a party takes
drive against the leader of his own
party to be Governor, it does not
look right. In my opinion it's not
right; such move will cause split
in the Farmer-Labor party, which
should never be allowed. The peo-
pie of Minnesota have worked hard
to make this political party, from
the time Shipstead ran for Governor
to U. S. Senator. 1 helped vote in
Petersen for our representative, lieu
tenant governor, railroad and ware
house commissioner, but when he
wants to be Governor so bad that
he wishes to shove our present leader
aside then my vote goes to Cover
nor Benson.
The Capitalist class uses the name
Communist as a big stick to drive
against our President. Now Peter
sen believes if he can use the same
name against our present state set
up of government and plastering some
mud on Benson, then he believes he
can be elected to bigger and better
job; perhaps a better paying job.
Some men look at the largest dollar

Get Ready For Propaganda

We were talking with war vet
eran the other day and he told of
his surprise when the army he was
with finally went into Germany. He
had expected to see human monsters
in Germany after all the propaganda
he had been fed, but he and the other
soldiers were amazed to find the Ger
man people generous, kind and
friendly. He claimed the soldiers
liked the German people much better
than the French and English.
The above paragraph and heading
appeared in The Blooming Prairie
Times and is pertinent at this time.
AS the German people were painted
as monsters to us during the World
war, the war makers will see to it
that our next chosen enemy" will
be painted the same.
They have an effective method of
doing just that so it is well for every
man, woman and child to be on guard
for any such propaganda.

In your paper of January 20, l

In my opinion justice should
not be a new deal, old deal or any
other deal justice; if he is, then he
is not fit for such position. He
must be bent toward one or another
side, if he is bent, then that is par

that as member of the court he

GOOD ADVICE

Editor Askov American:
At this time when the egg is call
ing the hen disloyal, ETC., it is well
to be sure ones own skids are well
creased before trying putting the
other fellow on them, so as to not
accumulate slivers if a person should
have the misfortune of getting a
ride on them.
The undersigned has been paid
up member of union labor for going
onto 80 years. 1 have tramped all
over this northwest; saw the Farmer
Labor movement start up in North
Dakota during the years 1911 to 1915.
have worked at my trade all the
way from Alaska to Italy. Have
seen the growth of the labor move
ment, its ups and downs. Was in
San Francisco during the years 1915
to 1917, followed the movements of
Mooney and Billings during these
years, saw the scene of the explosion
Is minutes after it happened, where
some 20 innocent passers-by were
killed or manned Don't need any
secondhand information).
Yet, after all this experience am
still learning, I have learned here
recently that the Farmer-Labor has a
supreme council; wonder where
that term came from. Also we hear
about the elmer circle" reading other
members, who don't agree with the
supreme council" out of the party,
etc. There could be a remote pos
sibility that those who are prating
so loudly about reading people out
of the party, could in the process
be read out themselves. have heard
of that before.
The labor movement and the
Farmer-Labor movement, however,
will go on; it is composed of mil
lions of men and women who have
the welfare of their fellow men at
heart. The labor movement is an
essential part of American democracy,
not weapon to change our form of
government. 1t is the only weapon
labor has to mitigate the economic
and social injustices inherent to
democracy and in fact life itself.
The indispensable man is yet to be
and this can be applied to a group.
During my army experience l noticed
that lance corporal with about three
weeks service was usually the most
abusive and voluble person, author
ity did not sit very well, it went to
the head. Again "be always sure
your own skids are well creased be-
fore trying to put them under anyone
else" c1MoN1cEN

YOUNG BLOOD FOR 1910
(The Minneapolis JournaD

H. G.. Wells says President Roose-
welt told him that he did not want
a third term. A younger man should
run in 1910 and carry on, was the
substance of the Presidents remarks
as reported by the English writer in
Golfers.
The President is not so old now,
as Presidents 60. He is Sc, and would
be So at the time of the next national
campaign Cleveland was Sc when
he was elected for his second term,
and Mckinley was So. Woodrow Will
son was 60 when he was reelected
The Presidents remark would
eliminate from consideration Cordell
Hull, who is &c now. The Secretary
of State would have strong support
if he were to be candidate, in spite
of his relatively advanced age, and
he is tough as the hickory of his
Tennessee hills. Alben Barley, who
is 60, also seems to be out.
Whom is the President thinking
about, in this reference to a younger
man? Well, there is Robert H. jack
son, New Deal brigadier just ad-
vanced to the post of Solicitor Gen.
eral. AS a warm up for 1910, he
may run for Governor of New York
this year. He is only 46. Then there
is Governor Earle of Pennsylvania
At. Not to forget James A. Farley
who will be SO on next Memorial day
Still to be counted is young fell
low by the name of Franklin D
Roosevelt, who seems to have had
more real enjoyment out of the White
House job than any of his forerun-
ners. Mr. Roosevelt has never said
fatty that he will refuse a third
nomination.
Doubtless he figures that there is
plenty of time for that. He might
have trouble in passing the mantle
on to chosen successor. A flat with
drawal from consideration would
start battle royal. BY keeping the
third term idea alive, Mr.. Roosevelt
at least can keep grip on his party
convention. And finally, if the con-
vention refused to take no for an
answer, and there seemed to be no
other good solution in sight, he al
ways could yield to the insistent
clamor of the populace.

WOULD TRY SUGAR BETS
Editor Askoy American:

Editor Askov American:
The growing of rutabagas for a
cash crop seems to be thing of the
past both as to price and quality; at
least that seems to be the impression
of many farmers who successfully
raised rutabagas in years gone by
but still believe the soil in large
part of Pine county is better adapted
to "rut" crop than any other cash
crop. How about sugar beets? They
have raised them successfully in the
Red River Valley and other places
for years, getting price about equal
to, or better than we receive for
rutabagas. But, the most encourage
ing thing is this. A farmer knows
what he will receive for them at
seeding, the labor involved in rails
ing beets is less. The thinning and
cultivating are the same, but the
trimming consists only of topping
them
The beet sugar company will fur
nish labor for such work if desired,
and deduct cost of same from the
fall delivery There are hardly any
culls as size and shape are immater-
ial No frost objections, no winter
storage, no sacks nor sacking, nor
begging to sell ton. Warehouses and
equipment would be thing of the
past The company furnishes loading
platforms, beets are loaded in gon-
dolas thus eliminating high freight
rates in iced or heated refrigerator
cars.
If enough farmers would show
sufficient interest in raising sugar
beets perhaps we could get the county
agent to investigate our soil condi-
ton as we'll as an outlet for this
kind of crop at the beet sugar fac
tory at East Grand Forks, MINI.
Let us hear from some of the
members of the Farm Bureau and
others upon this subject.
