| Would Say
BY A. w. CONAWAY

People are funny. I'm one of the
people. Stepped out of my car the
other day knowing full well that
there was ice all around. Fell on
my back. Queer how one will do
something without thinking. Some
times the fall is harder than that one
of mine.
Ever hear any talk about democ-
racy? Was chewing the rag" with
man the other day about why a
labor faction raised the salary of it's
chief from big-enough $4,000 per
year to $4,000. He said it was no
more than the head of an opposing
faction had been getting all the time.
Is that being democratic? They would
make another silk-topper with the
workers money, just because their
competitors had one.
We read that Father Coughlin has
suspended all units of his National
Union for Social Justice Among the
reasons given for the action was the
failure of some units to send money
to the National Unions headquarters
Let's see, was it social justice the
Father was preaching or was it . E.
financial justice? 1t costs money to
criticize the President Possibly the
vote given the Social Justice candi-
date at the last election proved to
the local units that the criticism came
too expensive.
To those who are in doubt of the
existence of Supreme Being, might
be recited the case of an Eskimo, who
knowing that he was at the lend of
the TRAIL" advised his wife and two
children to continue on by dog team
without him. He had reduced his
own rations and divided them among
the children. That is heroiSm to the
Nth degree and proves that there
must be a force for good even in the
most illiterate of people.
OF all wise words of tongue or pen,
the wisest are these from safety men:

Went to a high school carnival the
other night. Funny how it's. Went
there vowing not to wear a ounces
cap or any of those little Hooligan
nobs that carnival-ites would have
you wear, but that vow went by
the board like most New Years reso-
lutionS. Oh well, in real life many
of us wear ounces caps at times un-
aware of it.
You know folks, there is a lot
of misunderstanding about CONNER
cial clubs in small towns. The COM
mon idea is that the business men
get together at the meetings and talk
over ways to gyp the consumer. That's
wrong. The average small town busi-
ness men are ready and willing to
make the community better and they
usually talk shop with view to
creating better choice for the con-
sumer's needs, better markets and
better entertainment. Small town
business people and farmers have
plenty in common, don't forget it.

places would "soon disintegrate and

The speaker asked, 'where are we
going and what are we going to
do when we get there?" He said
that the successful business man takes
periodical inventory of his business
and so should the human race take
an inventory of life. The children
should be trained to carry on after
the parents have reached their des-
tination.

Interspersed throughout the pro-
gram were piano selections by Mrs.
Paul N. Froker of Askov, and vocal
duets by Miss Jean Robey and Mrs.
Guy Thorne. After the meeting the
gathering retired to the dining hall
and was served an enjoyable lunch
by the stewards of the lodge. Dane
ing then was the diversion until a

SCIENCE ESTABLISHES
Editor Askov American.

Editor ASkOV American:
Science is the art of establishing
facts. 1t is cold, searching and
analytic. 1t knows not emotion, pas
sion or prejudice. Science takes
nothing for granted, it proves itself,
it is not assertive but calculating
and persevering. Science reasons
things out and never tries to estab-
lish itself by presumption, superstition
or dogmatism Science is facts and
figures, not bias, conjecture or allie
cations.
Science establishes reality, it never
tries to build up the unreal; science
recognizes no merit but merit itself,
it refuses to prostitute itself for
passing fapcies and facts. Science
knows no sentiment or feeling-it
is cold and real-it portrays its sub
ject as it is. 1t is perceptive and
understanding Any thing that re-
fuses to prove itself by facts is not
science-only reality can be estab-
lished as science.

take the town of Belden with it's SO
sections as an example. Now we
say it takes 36 years to raise a crop
of timber. We cut one section and
thin out one year. Then the tim
ber will be growing up where we
first started and keep the fire out.
Fire is worse than men. If the
spruce swamp in the town of Belden
stands growing for 20 years there
would be timber to pay all the debts
in that township. 1 can cut that
worthless timber and make wages,
leaving growing timber standing. If
1 can do so, can see by the work
the forest ranger has not much ex-
perience.
This plan is to put people to work
and work for the future at the same
time This is the way we were doing
it in Sweden. If they had not done it
there they would have been here and
bothered Uncle Sam and tried to
borrow money. The people here are
harder up for living than at any
time when l was in Sweden. The
way we are going now all will be

of us as matter of course, but they
are not ours by any inherent right.
None of us can possess them in a
degree that we are permitted to do.
They are the slow painful creations
of the entire race of men and women
whose heirs it is our privilege to be.
They represent the price that had
to be paid in the struggle of men

ton from which it was made possible
to enjoy the comforts of our homes
and the modern service of this beau
tiful Temple.

Mr.. Petersen touched on the things

would either have them do or not

Won't Solve 1t

In the past there has been consid-
cradle discussion as to the feasibility
of reducing local government units,
and now the subject is to get an
airing at the Minnesota Tax confer
ence to be held March and in the
RadiSSon hotel in Minneapolis.
If there are good arguments for
reducing school districts there are
many more against such a plan. In
the first place the plan would be a
severe blow to home rule and in the
second place it would appear to open
up more avenues for unwise eXpen-
diture of tax money
We will admit that there is plenty
of waste in many small governmental
units but likewise there can be
pointed to much waste in units gov
erned by remote control" People
in most local school districts spend
their money as wisely as they can
this rule, it is the fault of the people,
themselves, rather than the system.
Many who serve on boards of edu-
cation now are many times disgusted
with the strict rules and regulations
laid down by authorities higher up
who do not know the circumstances
in the various districts. The system
in general, is satisfactory and we
doubt very much if the government
of the country districts could be run
as cheaply as it is at present.
Furthermore a strong argument
against the cutting down of the num-
ber of school districts would be the
fact that children would have to be
transported farther from their homes.
That is a glaring and much thought
of problem in this northern climate
Furthermore enlarging govern
mental bodies and cutting down the
number, it would seem, would make
just one more opening for politics to
creep in. At any rate any plan to
change should be gone into with un-
biased mind and thought over from
all angles.

Unstinted Service

The death of Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, chairman of the American
Red Cross, on February Is, brings
to mind the real personal side of man.
Admiral Grayson had a successful
career, from a material standpoint
and more from public service stand
point.
The Admiral, besides attending
President Woodrow Wilson during his
last illness, laid down an extensive
medical practice to accept the chair
manship of the American Red Cross.
Not only did he accept the task, but
he refused the affluent remuneration
of $1,000 yearly which goes with it
and accepted but about $4,000 per
year, the income from an endowment
fund.
How refreshing it is to find a per-
son of that calibre who will take a
job for the job itself and for what
service he can be to mankind rather
than for what it will pay in material
reward. True enough Admiral Gray
son received neat sum in the $4,000,
when compared to what the common
class of people throughout the world
receives for sustenance, but the fact
remains that he could have had
nearly four times the amount if he
had chosen to take it.
The effects of his work in the Red
Cross will be long felt for he applied
the ''ounce of prevention" policy
which he used in his successful med
ical career. Admiral Grayson's serv-
ice is monument to integrity in
positions of public trust.

Where The End g?

Almost every newspaper these day
contain information as to certain
nations entering an apparent race il
building warships and war equip
ment. Where will this end? Well
the Duluth Herald quotes Rear Ad
miral Arthur ]. Hepburn as saying
that the world is suffering from /;
plethora of warships and glut o
armies. He thinks an era of arma
ment limitations is coming.
The Herald continues:
Russia seems to be following
the old trend by announcing its
intention to outStrip the other
nations in building warships.
Outstrip may be literally true,
for the cost of warships now
building, or about to be built, or
growing old waiting for another
Jutland, would buy a good many
acres of clothes that the worlds
populations need.
theoretically, excessively ex-
pensive armaments ought to dis
gust the peoples of the world with
war in advance of actual hostil-
tiles. With modern methods of
propaganda and dictatorship the
views of the peoples of some
countries matter very little.
There are two conflicting ideas
about big navies. One is that
they breed wars. Another is that
they prevent wars, if they are
possessed by nations that really
want peace. The major powers
seem agreed on one thing more
emphatically than in long time
that big navies are splendid
things to have.
But the Duluth newspaper con
cluded its editorial too soon.

A PLAN FOR EMPLOYMENT

Editor Askov American:
Here is a plan whereby we can put
all relief workers to work making
their own living in this community
This should have been done a long
time ago and the longer we wait
the worse it will be. There are
$50 cords of firewood here. That
will be the lowest grade. We cut
that 8 feet; pay S1.5O a cord for
cutting, sell it back to the settlers
for $1.50 a cord. You will lose a
dollar a cord on that wood. 1 can
see through this timber. For each
cord of low grade some is not fiji
to sell outside. There are two cords
of wood that can go on the market
That cordwood will be two grades
$3.50 for one and $4.0O for the best
grades on the road so the trucks can
take it. That wood we pay $500 fo1
cutting.
Now we take strips four miles with
road in the middle; one dollar g
cord for skidding In all there will
be $50 cords year. That is more
than all the workers that are living
here can take out. 1t will be $225(
spread around. 1t will help all lines
of business. We will leave all the
young and growing timber to stand
and grow, and take all firetraps out
There will be pulp, logs and ties
which will more than pay for the
labor Then mill will come in here
1t will give employment. The forest
ranger has to be there and see thai
the work is done right and measure
and sell the wood.

Peg Lemere Randall
 Saunders Tied For 1st
Vote Bonus Brings Upset in Most Popular Baby Con- test Standings With Boy Tying Girl
 in Surprise Spurt

Their totals are due, in part at least, to the extra vote bonus which is making every subscription to THE DEMOCRAT worth 500 votes through this week ONLY. And every candidate for the $20O cash in priz- es and other valuable awards, has this equal opportunity of making great gains this week because of the increase in the vote count for sub- scriptions.
 Randall Second
 Randall Saunders, you know, was the second prize winner in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST last year and this bright young man realizes what it means to get nice bit of cash as prize for being popular with his supporters.
 Margaret Lemere has been leading the CONTEST for about two weeks now and many of the contenders have been trying to catch up to her. This is the period when they'll have their best chance, however, with the subscriptions worth 500 votes this week, instead of the normal 200 votes.
 Lawrence Still Second
 Lawrence DiPersio, son of MT. and Mrs. Vincent P. DiPersio, is running second in spite of the sud- den gain made by Randall Saunders yesterday. But there is something to be expected from the DiPersio cam- paign committee before the week is over which may have the effect of placing Lawrence back either in second place, or, possibly, in front of Randall and Margaret, the tied leaders.
 And we ought to hear from Char maine Michaud, of 112 Cherry street, who showed great strength at the outset of the CONTEST. Others among the leaders, Dorothy Berardo, Gerald Gary Cuculo and Patricia Corcoran, probably will pick up lots of votes this week, too. Watch for announcements and keep the subscriptions coming in to the CONTEST MANAGER. See you tomorrow.
