which she was being fastened.
BY her backward look she proved
that she had not in spirit left the
wicked city. Her body got no fur
Their than her mind was willing to go.
To break away from the habits of
sinful living a man must resolutely
set his back upon such habits. He
must also just as determinedly set his
face like a flint steadfastly toward
the mountains of higher living.
Radiant is the man who has fled
the city of sinful living and has reach

DEEP black for evening wear is
usually a winter fashion, but the
girl who likes something different
goes looking for a smart black
evening dress when she wants to
dazzle the crowd at vacation re-
sort or the country club. Black
pique is used for this charmer and
it is combined with white cotton
lace. The lace forms the sleeves
which are cut right into the bodice,
forming line like a tiny bolero
jacket. It has white lace peplum
dipping down in front and back
and curving upwards over the
hips. The dress has sweetheart
neck and is exactly the same in
back.

year as All club leader in the coun-
ty and states that she is going to con-
tact the old clubs as soon as possible
and is anxious to help any community
organize All club which does not
already have one. Information con-
corning All club work should be
addressed either to Miss Hecker or
the county agent at the agents office
in Sandstone.
Miss Hecker urges All club men,
bers who have not sent in their en-
rollment cards to do so soon so that

The Legislature
AS | See 1t
By Rep. Chas. L. Halsted.

AS we write this, the fourth weekly
deep responsibility. Once more l want
to urge you to keep in close touch
with us and our work. You people are
not fair to yourselves or to us as
your public officials unless you
take an active part in public affairs.
You must assert yourself and your in
fluence to bring about the things that
make for good government. We appre-
ciate constructive suggestions from
you as our constituents to help us in
our work. Let us know what YOU
think.
Personal Property.
/ am at present among other things
interested in House File No. SO,
which if passed would provide for
taxation of grain held on the farm,
whether there is government loan
on it or not, on basis of 10 per cent
of its full and true valuation instead
of the present 33 1/3 per cent. The
average tax rate in the townships in
one of the counties of the state, for
example, is COS mills. The assessed
valuation of all grains listed by the
assessors as of May 1, 1910, in its
various townships, according to the
county auditor, was S112,27S.00, which
of course, represents 33 1/3 per cent
OF the full and true value of $780,
$4,000. Taxed on the township aver
age of COS mills, this amounts to
$6,792.S2
Under the bill being considered, the
assessed valuation would be only 10
per cent of the full and true value
of 1885, 34OO, or S33, 6S3.OO, upon
which the taxes would amount to a
bout s2,O37.S2. This one bill alone, if
passed, would save the farmers of
this one county roughly S4,755.00.
This bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Emil Morberg, liberal from
Marshall county, as head author, to-
gether with other liberal authors. |
am writing today to our county audi
county on the assessed valuation on
our grain and the full effect of this
bill on our county will be reported
in this column as soon as possible.
Other Bills introduced.
Other bills aimed at accomplishing
this same saving have been intro
duced. One would tax all grain,
whether on the farm or in the eleva-
tor on the same basis as moneys and
CREDITS mills per dollar of valua-
ton. This particular bill is now being
studied by a subcommittee but word
has reached me from the Attorney
Generals office that this would prob

bers of the House who made this visit
was the fact that no food substitutes
are used, but only Minnesota butter
meats, and other products. The prison
farm of over 1000 acres is manned
by trustees. Often former inmates who.
are now on parole return voluntarily
to work on the prison farm. They
would rather return to this form of
work than face economic conditions or
the outside which are worse, which is
to say the least a sad commentary OF
our economic conditions. In viewing
the large number of young prisoners.
Representative Otto Clark of Douglas
county expressed the view of many
when he said, 1T hurts me to see
so many young people there" Many
of them are there for reasons which
in the beginning were. beyond their
control, which forces us as Legislators
to again take stock of our serious
responsibility.

Return from Vacation Trip.


Mr.. and Mrs. JenS B. Jensen, who
left Askov early in December with
their son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Neil Johnson of Borup, for
a vacation trip to the west coast,
returned home Tuesday. Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson took them to Askov,
and from Waterville they were &C
companied by Mrs. Harold Goltz,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen.
Mrs. Goltz and the Johnsons returned
home the following morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen reported a
pleasant trip and fine visits with
relatives and friends in California
and elsewhere but were glad to get
back home again. While they en-
joyed the warm climate of the west,
they liked to see the snow of the
northern states once more.

Plan To Check
Timber Thefts

Marketing of logs and timbers
from other mems land would be made
materially more difficult under terms
of a bill sponsored in the Minnesota
legislature by Representative c. G.
Mann of this district.
Representative Mann's bill pro-
vides that all logs and timbers being
transported must be marked with
the description of the land where
they were cut or with a registration
number that will indicate where the
material was obtained.
Violation of the act would be made
a misdemeanor subject to fine or
Imprisonment and a second offense
subject to heavier fine or imprison-
ment or both.

Old-Time Resident
OF Sandstone Dies

George B. Sherer, an old-time resi-
dent of Sandstone, passed away at
his home in Sandstone Monday eve
ming Of this week at the age of 70.

September 8, 1889 he was married to
Mary Anderson and to this union
eight children were born. They are
George, Paul, James, Nellie, Ruth,
Nyla, Grace and Mary. Mrs. Sherer
passed away February % of last year.

House as whole.
County Public Health Nurses.
The American Legion Auxiliary,
the League of Women Voters and
many other organizations, including
several groups of county commission
ers thru-out the State, are very much
interested as am l, in House File No.
As. This bill provides that when, at
the end of any fiscal year, the county
commissioners of any county officially
notify the State Board of Health that
they have employed one or more pub
lie health nurses during the past year,
the county treasurer shall receive
81, 900 from the state treasurer to help
defray such expense. These nurses
must be approved by the State Certi-
fication committee. Qualifications for
public health nurses require one
more year of training than necessary
for ordinary certificatiOn. At the pres
ent time 3S counties in Minnesota re-
ceive more or less aid toward a pub
lie health nurse program, under Fed
eral funds allocated by Part | Title 5;
of the Social Security Act. The Divi-
sion of Child Hygiene grants this fed
eral aid through the state for use in
schools. The state itself gives no mon
ey now, but allocates these small Fed
eral payments; the best financially sit
uated counties getting the least aid.
Visit To saltwater.
On Tuesday, January %, the entire
Prison committee of the House visited
the state prison at Saltwater. They
were accompanied by some members
from the Appropriations committee.
The warden and other officials who
C onduct e the group on a tour
through the institution estimated that
the sales of Irvine will fall off by a
bout 25 per cent in 1912 because of
the federal law recently enacted
which bars from interstate shipment
and sale any prison made goods except
repair parts for machinery after Octo
Der IA, 1871. One of the proble ms ia ing
the prison in the next few months is
the need for new manufacturing ac-
tivity. Already there is talk that the
manufacture of license plates for the
state of Minnesota should be handled
there. There is also a possibility that
chairs, filing cabinets for state in
stitutions, and other miscellaneous OBJ
jects should be manufactured there
beside additional farm machinery.

Whips Finlayson,

Games; Town Team Wins
Two, Loses One.

The Askov high school basketball
team started in fine form the past
week to win their contest from Fin
layson Friday night at Finlayson
"a to %, but were halted abruptly
by Barnum, there, Tuesday evening
80 to 20.
Finlayson sent in two men to stop
Hyldahl, high-scoring Askov center,
and while they succeeded in slowing
him down, could not keep him from
ringing up IA points. The strategy
also enabled the other Askov boys
to play more of an offensive game,
Fogt, Abrahamsen and Mogensen,
scoring 9, 6 and points, respective
ly. Entner with 10 points was Fin
layson's high man.
Loses Lead.
Askov started well at Barnum to
gain seven-point advantage at the
half but lost the lead and the game
when their opponents rallied. The
contest was rather ragged, three men
going out on fouls.
In other games the past week the
Askov seconds lost to Finlayson and
the Independents won two and lost
one. The town team loss was to
Wright Saturday on the winners
floor and they really did lose. When
the cannonading stopped Askov was
behind, 70 to 20. However, wins
over Finlayson, "a to 20, and Barn
UNI, 90 to q, helped their seasons
average.
Following are the box scores of the
two main high school games:
