A news item tells us that the Brit
ish Empire and France have some
S10,000000,0 in the United States
much of it in gold 1 understand we
have lot of money over there, too
If they run short they can get their
money, but if we run short . just
try and get ours.
Oh well, many of those countries
over there gave us birth, so l guess
it is customary for children to send
money home occasionally.
The cruiser Milwaukee has been re-
ported to have found a hole in the
Atlantic which measured 1850 feet
or nearly five and one-half miles
However, the hole is east of the island
of Haiti and too far away from the
shores of Europe, to be used for sink
ing battleships in.
That hole is similar to this nations
financial status, right now.

Newsboys in Minneapolis are I'M
dertaking movement to provide for
themselves club rooms where they
can rest between each edition of their
papers and where they can get meals
at actual cost. They solicit business
people as members.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1940-02-15

Why not make that a nationwide
project, newsboys? Everyone in the
various cities should get behind such
movement and rid the country for
ever, of the stigma that our news
boys are not adequately taken care of.

Of course l realize that to better
the lot of the newsboy would be to
take away the romantic part of the
meteoric rise of some baron of in
dustry. His ''once was newsboy"
story might seem too much like hav-
ing been privilege.
If I'd fly upside down across coun-
try in an airplane and lay off the Re-
publicans this column would be in
demand in almost every newspaper in
the United States as witty and
philosophic contribution. But I can't
fly right side up nor upside down
and neither can I lay off the Repub-
licans. Somehow, those fellows seem
to attract me as they did the two
states in the last election.
All this is just leading up to what
l am about to say about Dr.. Allan
Roy Dafoe You notice all of us use
his full name now. Before the
Dionne Quintuplets were born, those
who knew him just called him Doc
Well, Doc Ito me) Dafoe is now
recognized by worlds doctors as no,
only a doctor of medicine, but also
a philosopher, say the newspapers
That's what the five little Dionne
girls did for him when they were
meant to just bring comfort and hap
piness into the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Dionne.
Why, before the Quintuplets were
born DR.. Dafoe couldn't have pre-
scribed medicine to treat the ills Of

Democrat Al Smith is pictured with
him on top of the Empire State build

supposed to be lookin', is pointing
upward. That's the first 1 knew the
Empire State buildings top was in

lower cupboard and use them for
storing lids, pie and cake pans and

with respect to the distribution in
this country of surplus government
wheat and cotton.
1.-The Presidents request to con-
gress called attention to the fact
that the recommended purchase OF
surplus food in no way 1ightened
the burden which the American Red
Cross had assumed, and he specif-
ically said the appropriation I am
suggesting will supplement- the Red
Gross relief program. The needs Of
refugees are many in addition to
their need for food.
1T must be made plain to every
one that it has not even been sug-
gested that any money be paid from
the United Steates Treasury to the
Red Cross. These are the facts, and
if the Red Cross successfully does
the work it has undertaken, it will
need all and more than the mini

is appealing to the American peo-
pie. Every day brings new and ur-
