The StOrk Derby

Finally the Toronto, Canada, stork
derby which is now famous for its
absurdity, is settled and four moth
ers have received an even division of
$4,000 each and two other mothers
who filed court proceedings for a
part of the residue have received
S12,5O0 each.
The race for babies began soon
after announcement that Charles
Vance Millar, eccentric lawyer who
died on Oct. 81, 1926, had specified
in his will that the residue of his
estate was to 60 to the Toronto moth
er registering the largest number of
births in the 10-year period follow
ing his death. That race ended for
tunately for but six of the mothers,
but for the others who possibly gave
birth to more babies than their liv-
ing standards would allow adequate
care for, the race was tragedy.
The bearing of children certainly
is too sacred a function of human
beings as to be made a gambling
venture That kind of activity might
have its place in countries where
children are reared for cannon fodder,
but in this country children are gen.
orally brought into the world to be
loved and adequately cared for.

FIT. Smelling hospital where he is
stationed. At this writing friends are
happy to report that he is somewhat
better.
The Memorial program at the mum
icipal hall Monday drew very large
crowd. The program was a fine sue
cess due to the fact that the school
band, Presbyterian choir and Rev.
Vernon Olson and others all came
and assisted. Chester Waletzko, like
true Legionnaire, furnished his bus
and hauled the crowd to the Stur-
geon Lake, Denham and Rutledge
cemeteries for brief exercises at the
graves.
The next regular meeting of the
Post and Unit had to be postponed
on account of graduation exercises
and will be held the following Fri
day according to present plans.

HULL POLICY AS WAR
DETERRENT
(The Minneapolis Starr


The Hull program of trade agree
ments with other nations is the best
safeguard against war, for it pro-
notes those friendly and profitable
connections which no nation, for it's
own good, would think of disrupting
by war.
w. w. Waymack, associate editor
of the Des Moines Register and Tri-
bune who recently won the Pulitzer
prize for editorial writing, reiterated
his faith in the reciprocal treaty pro-
gram at recent session of the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's clubs. He
said:
1.-The only hopeful policy l know
of, the only wan dove returning to
the ark with sprig of foliage in its
beak, is the Hull trade agreement
program, with its corollary attitudes"
Both expert and lay sentiment are
rapidly coming around to the Hull
viewpoint, seeing in the you-trade-
Observation-Disclosures prin-
ciple a perfectly mercenary and COM
nonsense method of discouraging
war and war fever. If peaceful meth
DDS can be shown to be more effective
in helping nations economy than
military methods, the war cause is
lost, for the reasons for it have dis
appeared.

Sweepstakes

There are many ways to part the
sucker from his money and one of the
most clever is that ruse known as
the Irish Sweepstakes. The tickets
sell for $3.50 and according to re-
ports the salesman of the tickets
gets AZ cents, the distributor Fl cents,
the wholesaler 81 cents and the syndi-
cate in Dublin gets SO cents or more.
From what is left the Irish hospitals
get about Is cents and there is left
for the winners pool about rs cents
of the original $3.50.
So therefore the ones who buy the
tickets get less than one-third of their
money back in the big drawings.
Most slot machines pay about 40 per-
cent, so one will readily see that
the sweepstakes is just a little bit
worse than the slot machine and
everyone knows that he is being
sucker when he plays slot machine.
Then too, there are counterfeit tick

Will Memorial
Spirit Last :?

Last Monday the nation fittingly
observed Decoration or Memorial
day. Millions of citizens visited the
graves of departed loved ones or
friends and listened to orationS of
tribute and praise for the departed,
their service to their country and
against war. Every item of every
observance was designed to bring to
the attention of the listeners that
the departed loved ones should have
honor bestowed upon their memory.
Their deeds and their spirits remain
in our memory.
That kind of a Memorial day pro-
gram is worthy, it is fitting and it
is as it should be- But! How many
of us will remember the words spoken
at those touching exercises; how many
will keep them as guiding star
throughout the year until another
Memorial day again brings them upon
when the war mongers begin to
sound the martial phrases many will
have forgotten the touching scenes
they had at the graveside of the fall
en- soldier of yesterday. Many will
have forgotten the silent prayer that
there never should be another war
and many will forget his own silent
vows on that day.
Memorial day can mean much to
us. 1t can be day when we count
and review the cost of war; it is
a day when we take stock of our
selves and come to realize that the
lives of those who have been given
in war have been too much of price
to pay. Memorial day then is g
peace day, a day when we can reso-
lutely VOW that war will never again
be for us unless in defense of OuI
homes and our country.
We should as Americans and as
good neighbors remember those
Memorial day services and we should
carry out those silent vows that an
other war shall not enbitter our re-
lationship with the remainder Of
mankind Let us all take this Memoir
ial day to heart and carry on in oul
efforts to create situation where
by there shall be peace and security
in the world forever.

BY A. w. CONAWAY

1t is reported that Tom Davis sec
rotary was in town Sunday. The fell
low said that he is the one who
takes dictation and writes Mr.. Davis
speeches. Well, if he is the man
who wrote the poisoned barb which
was recently aimed via the radio at
the expansive forehead of Hjalmar
Petersen his action in coming to
Askov is similar to that employed
by the hunter after he shoots at some
game; he goes to see where his shot
struck. However, like some of the
poisoned barbs of the early Amer
lean Indians, that shot by Mr.. Davis
probably was clean miss" and
may have ricocheted into his own

lane highways would be major aid

The Iowa traffic bureau announces
that one out of every three children
born in Iowa last year will be killed
or injured in traffic before reaching
81. Well, it won't do any good for
them to come to Minnesota. We are
working night and day on our own.
One of the planks in the new third
party platform states: eve believe
. our present governmental system
is in sad need of undermining. Yeh,
I would suggest that we streamline
it and in that way we would get some
of the barnacles off; you know, those
"leeches" who fasten themselves to
it and prevent its smooth sailing
without the little tugboat, political
pull aiding it.
