thousand prisoners in German in- ternment camp were kept almost free from influenza although the disease ragged fiercely all around them-each prisoner received 4 grains of quinine daily throughout the period of the epidemic.
 Even two grains of quinine day may give considerable protection against influenza if this treatment is begun early and continued as long as the disease is epidemic.
 Many excellent physicians advo- cate six or eight grains of quinine daily for adults, three or four grains for children, as prophylactic against influenza when the disease is epidemic. Others believe two grains day for an adult, one grain day for child, sufficient.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
New School Building.
A. E. GUSTAFSON, County Supt.

Miss Harriet Bassett, district 38,
Hinckley township, has ''brand new"
schoolhouse in which she teaches
about 80 pupils. For this she is very
much pleased. This new frame build
ing replaces the one destroyed by fire
last winter. 1t was completed in
record time this summer at cost of
about $4,000 by local labor and con-
tractors. 1t was done without the
assistance of WPA and is an identical
twin of the excellent WPA job COM
pleted year ago in district 81, Birch
Creek
We have two other rural school
projects, districts 45 and 112, that
have been waiting for WPA labor
for over two years. WPA in Pine
county seems to be more ''road
minded" than school minded" The
school board in district 38 consists of
Mrs. Blanche Kath, clerk, Otto Gruett,
treasurer, and VIM. Hulke, Jr., chair
man. This is now one of the best
rural buildings and one of the best
equipped schools in Pine county.
VisitatiOnS.
Your county superintendent held
eight teachers group meetings in var
ious parts of the county this OPEN
ing week and also contacted the fol-
lowing schools now in session.: Four,
8, II, liza, lib, lie, 80, "a, 38,

Census.
Rural school clerks will please note
carefully the new state rules and in
structions on the back of census
sheets. Include every one from birth
to age 20, inclusive, as of September
l. Clerks are entitled to three cents
per name for this service, for the
original copy only.
Office?
AT last it looks like we may have
an office in which to work. Thus
far we have worked in a "two by
four" cloak hall and storeroom. Dur
ing the past five years our services
have doubled and tripled We shall
appreciate a little elbow room.
Cadets.
We have made requests to the Du-
luth State Teachers college for cadet
assistance for the following standard,
accredited, one-room rural schools:
Rock Creek, district 4; Beroun, dis
trict "a; Indian school, district 90;
Windemere districts lie and lib.
We have also asked for cadets for a
| few of our two-room schools. We
have been assured that a few cadets
will be sent to Pine county after the
first six weeks, for their practical
training. We appreciate the splendid
cooperation that we are getting from
the rural department and the rural
supervisors of the Duluth State
Teachers college. About 80 of our
rural teachers are graduates of the
Duluth State Teachers college. Prac-
tically all of these are residents of
Pine county.

Turning Pages OF Time Exposes
American AS A Faithful Servant

set out with purpose, and that pur-
pose has stuck with it. People of
Pine county read their newspaper
at Askov from one viewpoint-and
that seems to have been a very
favorable one; publishers and work.
ing neWspapermen in other parts ap-
ply their own standards, and in the
light of those the Askov American
occupies very high place.
The Askov American has carried
the name of the home town far
afield; one may add that the names
and the activities of the publishers
have contributed quite distinctly to
their papers recognition as one of
the comparatively few outstanding
rural Weeklies of the United States.
And one should not forget that
Editor A. w. Conway for number
of years has done his heavy part
of the work in putting the Askov
American on the newspaper map.
But this is not his tWenty-ffth an
niversary, so that will have to be
another story to be told when that
day dawns.
No doubt much will be said by
other lips and other typeWriters-
even pens-about the services of the
Askov American to its home COM
munity and to Pine county in gen.
eral. What the present writer likes
to emphasize is the fact that your
paper up there in the Rutabaga
country is as generally respected as
generally liked, in many other places
as it is right in Asllov And that
statement comes from one who has
been associated with the Askov
America in more years than he has
been with any other newspaper
one who, incidentally, has been so
many years in the profession that he
knows that comparisons are worth
more than flattery-which, by the
way, is not in his line.

Veteran of Navy
Sees Both Poles
Is Happy at Accomplishing
Lifelong Ambition.

PHILADELPHIA.-John Jacob

eran, sits in his chair at the Naval
home content, for he has achieved
my lifelong ambition"
jacobson said he had been all over
the world, but did not feel content
until he had reached both polar
regions.
In 1900 he was member of the
Baldwin-Ziegler expedition that
made an unsuccessful attempt to
reach the North pole, and q years
later he was with Admiral Richard
E. Byrd in Little America.
Jake, as he is known to his ship
mates, served in the navy from 1908
to 1925. He volunteered for the
Byrd expedition in 1926 and was ac-
copied. At the time he was SO and
one of the oldest members of the
expedition.
He said that it was worth while
visiting the pole if only to see the
penguins.
"Say," he said, "you know those
darn things are almost human, wad-
ding along and gesturing much as
humans do. We almost expected
them to say Good morning
The greatest moment of his life,
he said, was when the admiral
pinned the congressional medal on
his uniform.
give received a good many med
ais during my lifetime in the navy,
but that congressional medal is one
they don't hand out very often"
Born at Tromso, Norway, Jacob
son came to the United States
aboard British bark at the age of
II. He enlisted in the navy in 1895
and served in Cuba during the
Spanish-American war. Then he at
tempted to settle down, but failed
and became a member of the Bald
win-Ziegler polar expedition. Re-
turning from the Arctic, he again
enlisted in the navy, and served I'M
til 1925. He is one of the oldest men
holding membership in American
Legion.

Newspaper In Such A Small
Town {. Huh, Cant Be Done"
BY PEDER ERICKSON

CONGRATULATIONS to the Askov
American on its 25th anniversary.
The infant industry of % years ago
has grown into well established and
strong institution, a credit and honor,
as well as benefit and enjoyment to
the communities which it serves. l
have been a constant subscriber to
the American since the first year of
its establishment and would not think
of being without it as long as l can
raise the subscription price.
I remember when it first started
1 made the remark that newspaper
in small community like that would
not amount to much. But am
glad to say that it has amounted
to be one of the fairest and cleanest
country weeklies in the state. also
remember Hjalmar Petersen travelling
afoot through the country soliciting
subscribers. Hjalmar and the Amer
lean have gone far in those % years.
All honor to him and the staff who
has made the American Publishing
Co. such a grand success.
Some changes have taken place in
this part of Pine county in these %
years, some for the better and some
not so good. Twenty-Five years ago
this northern and eastern part OF
our county still had some timber re-
sources, although the great pine for
ests had been destroyed years be-
fore, but there was still considerable
timber left so that both men and
horses could get employment during
the winter months and the income
thus earned would help to pay for
improvements on the small farms.
This source of income has now
almost entirely disappeared, all the
timber has been skinned off and
hardly firewood left. Consequently
people with small means who would
like to make farm home on some
of this wild land (and lots of it is
very good land) are unable to make
a living while clearing the land. The
early pioneering settlers suffered lots
of hardships while settling this coun-
try, but they also had an opportun-
ity to make a living while building
their farm homes.
On the other hand, living condi-
tons generally are better. Good roads
have been built, to a large extent,
telephone service, rural mail routes
and electric service have been eStab-
lished. But while 25 years ago any
body who was willing to work could
make a fairly good living today a
large part of our people are denied
that opportunity. But we have the
CCC camps, WPA, relief, old age
assistance and high taxes.
