The approaching holidays are being
heralded throughout the school by
a profusion of Christmas decorations.
During the day the pleasant sounds
of students rehearsing Christmas car
OILS, plays and programs can be
heard issuing from various class
rooms. In the high school the annual
program is again being prepared by
the Danish class which is hard at
work.
A feature of the assembly which
was held in the gymnasium last Fri
day was the presentation of the prize
for the suggestion of the name which
is now being used by the monthly
publication of the high school stu
dents. For submitting the name,
'The Mirror" Olga Nielsen received
box of candy.
AS is customary in the junior-senior
high school, students receiving four
AS on their report cards are placed
on the honor roll. For the second
six weeks the following persons mer-
tied this honor: Muriel Koed, 7th
grade; Ruby Jacobsen, 9th grade;
Ellen Jorgensen, 9th grade; Esther
Thomson, 18th grade; Delpha Peter
sen, 18th grade; Gene Buck, 18th

N. P. Nedegaard, one of Pine coun-

unsigned letters advising him to dc

the following one from writer ir

''If you wish to hold your job

some proof that these old fell

They tell you one thing and do

laXitieS and irregularities of rather
serious nature. One of the things
that the investigation brought to
light is that the Authority, while ask
ing for an additional appropriation,
had failed to apprize Congress that
it had an unexpended balance of
$37 100000, which sum the Authority
failed to include in its annual state
ment to Congress.
From the very beginning the Con-
greSSional Investigators were handi-
capped in their investigation as every
possible obstacle was thrown in their
way to prevent them from getting
at the true facts. DR.. Morgan will
probably again be called as witness
and it may be that he will be able
to enlighten the committee on certain
phases that are now shrouded in
mystery l shall have something to
say upon this subject just as soon

Another Trade Treaty.
Last week the State department
announced its intention to negotiate
a supplementary reciprocal trade
agreement with Cuba which will be
supplemental in its nature The new
treaty will provide further conces-
sions to Cuba on tobacco and sugar.
We are not advised as to what con-
cessions Cuba will make to us in
return.
1 fear that we will continue Civ
ing away the American market until
we have little left but our tear ducts,
so we will at least have something to
weep with.
How long will it take us to reach
the realization that we cannot restore
prosperity to the American farmer
and working man so long as the home
market is in the possession of the for
eign farmer and laborer? Of course,
foreign statesmen will continue to
din into our ears the theory that the
only way to build up international
good will is to tear down all tariff
barriers, and of all people we are
the only ones who are simple enough
to swallow that line of reasoning. We
talk about restoring the buying pow
er of our people. How can buying
power be restored when the selling
power is in the hands of the for
eigner? 1 have yet to meet the first
individual who can explain that to me.
Unfortunately, we will have to con-
tinue on this free road policy for an
other two years until we have a
change in administration. Again 1
will venture the prophecy that the
big issue in the 1910 campaign will
be protection and full dinner pail
for the American producer" 1 have
no doubt in my mind as to how the
American farmer, working man and
manufacturer will vote on that issue

The other day the newspapers an
nounced that "the President has aban-
doned his dream of balancing the
budget" Well, l for one, never at
any time thought it was more than
a dream. The policy of spending and

full that we are nearing the end of

The Next Congress.
The next session of Congress, which
will convene on January 3, promises
to be protracted and will probably
run late into the summer. l do not
look to see a coalition between the
Republicans and conservative Demo-
Gratis unless the President should in
sist upon the enactment of radical
program. There are several reasons
why the two forces will not join
hands, the main one being the pres
idential election of 1940 Naturally
the Democrats will want to keep their
eyes on that objective as will the
Republicans It is to be hoped that
there will be no politics in the next
Congress. With between 10 and IL
million people out of work, and agri-
culture and industry stagnant, all
social and reform legislation should
be sidetracked and the full attention
of the President and Congress CEN
tered on the task of restoring pros
perity. The first requisite of such a
program is to assure all that there
will be no more confiscatory tax leg
place only the most necessary restric-
tions upon business and that the
American market will be restored to
the American people as fast as exist
ing trade treaties expire. The Pres
ident should also abandon his plan
for super-preparedness, which is
proving disquieting and causing con-
siderable anxiety. Then, too, all re-
lief should be taken out of politics
and relief expenditures confined to
worthwhile projects. A program
along this line would restore pros
perity and put the unemployed to
work within the next six months.
The Lima Conference.
On the day this letter appears in
print representatives of the American
Republics will convene in Lima for
the purpose of working out pro-
gram to bring about better under
standing and closer. working agree
ment between the nations of the west
ern hemisphere. If properly con-
Quoted the conference should result
in increased trade between the var
ious countries and a better under
standing among them.
Several European countries have
been making heavy inroads into the
South American trade. South America
is our natural market. In fact, it is
about the only dependable foreign
market that we have and any effort

couragement. The old doctrine of
America for Americans" becomes
more necessary with the passing of
the years and it is particularly neces-
sary in these unsettled times. We
cannot permit any foreign country
to take over the Latin American trade,
neither can we permit any of them
to acquire additional territory on this
hemisphere. 1t has long been my
thought that our preparedness pro-

The group of spectators which

performance which has rarely been

Although the Askov team took an
early lead and maintained it until
the third quarter, the play in the
first three quarters was rapid and
did not lag. But the climax of the
game came in the final period when
the lead changed a number of times
in rapid succession. Neither side
was willing to admit defeat, and both
teams fought until the final gun which
found Askov leading AZ to 40. In
spite of the fact that there was only
