sub-district competition by defeating
Willow River and Moose Lake. Bar
mum, the other finalist, was too much
for Askov and won the game and
the sub-district championship. The
Barnum team put on the steam in
the second half to win "a to IL after
leading IL to at the half. Barnum's
defense was very hard to penetrate
and in the second half held the high
scoring Askov team to only three
points.
Thursday night Askov defeated a
spirited Willow River team 33 to II
to enter the semi-fnals. Friday night
found Askov pitted against Moose
Lake. The game was fast and fur
ious throughout. At the half Moose
Lake held a 20 to ii lead, but in
the second half Askov went on a
scoring spree to outclass and out
score the Lakers and emerge with
35 to % win. The game was scored
as an upset in most Duluth and Twin
City papers.
The crowds at Sandstone were large
enough to fill the spacious auditor
ium each night. Askov had large
number of loyal followers all through
the tournament. If the fans will con-
tinue their support in the forthcom-
ing district tournament at Pine City,
it will do much to bolster the morale
of the Askov team.

Students Hear Speakers.
The senior high school was for
tunate in having the opportunity to
hear Ellis Cowling, the educational
director of Trumbull County Farm
Bureau Cooperative (Ohio) Wednes-
day, March l. Mr. Cowling pre-
sented his topic in a very interesting
manner by having members of the
student body express what they
wanted to get out of their work.
These desires he listed on the black
board and dealt with under the pres
ent system. The one thing they all
desired was to get goods-food, cloth

there is enough man power, natural
resources and factories, if used right,
to increase the standard of living of
every person 1000, according to the
report of the Brookings Institute;
but the problem is how this is to
be done. Another aim in every ones
life is to make friends. In private
business an Individual must often
associate with people, not because he
cares to, but because they will further
his business interests. The question
is whether or not, through cooperat-
ing, one can get the things that he
desires. Another desire as expressed
by the students was to do some crea-
tive work. One of the aims of the
cooperative movement is to create
better world, so the speaker con-
cluded that in this respect also, the
idea of cooperation was to help the
youth of today.
