Q. Who said: 81 only regret that
have but one life to lose for my
country"
A. Nathan Hale, who gave his life
for America, like great numbers of
his fellow countrymen. We are only
asked to lend our dollars for defense
bonds and stamps to defend the liber-
ty for which they died.
@. Where I work there is no pay
roll allotment plan for the buying
of defense savings bonds and stamps.
How can I get one started?
A. This depends on your position,
and the kind of organization in which
you are employed. Generally speak
ing, your immediate superior would
be the proper person to receive your
suggestion that you would like to
have voluntary payroll allotment
plan introduced. The firms bank
can supply information about such
a plan.
Note.-To buy defense bonds and
stamps, 60 to the nearest post office,
bank, or savings and loan associa-
ton; or write to the treasurer of the
United States, Washington, D. c.
Also stamps now are on sale at retail

Government Issues
Asks For Unity;
Fosters Disunity
BY Hjatmar Petersen.

The Minneapolis Star Journal in
its leading editorial of Sunday, Dec.
81, did its best to provoke those who
prior to the outbreak of war disagreed
with the administrations foreign poll
cy. The attitude in the editorial was
one of self-righteousness. They pro-
ceeded to insult the group that had
been non-interventionists by suggest
ing that they are now seeking
bridge on which to cross with honor
in order to give wholehearted support
to the administration in this war.
The non-interventionists do not
need a bridge on which to cross over.
They advocated adequate defense.
They have always believed that any
attacker of America must be repelled
with all the force America possesses.
The non-interventionists disagreed
with the administration method to
keep us out of this war. AS Senator
Henrik Shipstead put it: "The policy
short of war has now ended in war.
By intervening in politics of the four
corners of the world, we are now at
war in all four corners"
Whether the non-interventionists
were right or wrong we will never
know for their methods were not put
into practice. We do know that the
methods the administration employed
to keep us out of war failed, for we
are in the war. When war comes to
America, no American needs to cross
any bridge to support any admlnlstra-
ton in defending America.
One thought in the Star Journal
editorial, to the point, was that ma
tions tried to avoid the war, but mo
nation tried to prevent it-until it
was too late" If widespread war is
to be prevented huge war prepara-
tions and uncalled-for onslaughts
must be stopped in the inception.
For instance, the massacre of Chinese
by Japan, and Mussolini's attack on
the poor Ethiopians served as trial
balloons for Hitler. If at that time
the world had risen as one man with
protests and economic sanctions the
dictators would not have gotten blood
on their teeth and encouragement to
proceed. Every individual and every
nation is part of humankind.
The non-interventionists or isola-
tionists, however, in the main, are
justified in resenting the implications
of the Star Journal editorial.
The editorial was not of the kind
that makes for national unity.
The editorial was crude attempt
on the part of the Star Journal to
gloat and say 81 told you So"
The editorial had a smattering of
petty politics that does no credit to
a big city daily.
The editorial would have served the
cause of national unity much better
had it been relegated to the waste
paper basket.

LET'S CONsCRIPT PROFITS

Editor Askov American: TsG j.
Whether we like it or not, America
is now at war. 40
Let me offer a timely quotation
from Social Justice Magazine, De-

'This is Americas war, in which
no blood money should fatten the
pockets or purses of any individual.
"We have asked for this thing.
Let's take what we asked for without
whining.
"But, by the God of Peace, we
workers and farmers and small busi-
nessmen; we mothers and children;
we the ill-fed, ill-clothed and ILL
housed-we know the score! Well not
sit silently by if this war means
profits for any group of filthy inter-
nationalist gold mongers and their
lackeys.
"We will not whine because we
have to participate in this war. But,
by the God of Peace, we will not be
silent while we and our sons bear
its brunt, shed its tears and scabbard
its sword in the flesh of our hearts,
while motion picture artists live on
fat salaries of 100000 a year; while
blood merchandisers profit up to mil
lions year; while mumbling, jumb-
ling politicians, whose failures got
us into this war, receive $4,000 and
more a year.
I'VE are all in this war. We are
all serving in the trenches or in the
factories or in the homes.

THAT UNCERTAIN SEAT
(Lund PresS)

The Senate seat Joseph H. Ball is
occupying is one of the shakiest po-
sitions in the country. 1t has been
this way ever since old Knute Nelson
died in 1923 after holding it for nearly
80 years.
Magnus Johnson was elected in
Senator Nelson's place but he was
defeated the next year by Senator
Tom Schall. Then in 1880, Senator
Schall was nearly defeated. In 1885
Senator Schall and Governor Olson
were girding themselves for the battle
of two centuries. A year later and
both had died. Elmer Benson was
appointed and Guy Howard won in
a fluke for two months term.
Senator Ernest Lundeen was elec-
ted to this position in 1896 and he
was killed in plane crash in 1910.
Altogether there have been six diff
ferent senators in this position dur
ing the last 18 years while Senator
Shipstead has occupied the other
senatorial seat.

clerks sweep away the nights ac-
emulation of feathery snow. In bar
ber shop and shoe store, patriarchs
gather to discuss world affairs and
predict the weather. Young blades,
home from college, come around late
in the morning to revisit the haunts
of their youth. Farmers in bulging
sheepskin coats bring cases of eggs
and cans of rich cream in to market,
stomping with gruff cheeriness in
mercantile doorways.
When evening comes and street
lamps are snapped on, each receives
a halo of reflected light from soft
snow floating down.
Everybody disregards schedules and
habits, and for this one week, kind
ly lethargy lies over the village, like
a warm gossamer covering, to pro-
tect all therein from the chill of the
north wind and the ills of the world.
Here is a workable nirvana in which
each inhabitant takes a comfortable,
if unsuspecting, part.

Crooks, FBI Shows
Often Only Clue by Which
Criminals Are Caught.

WASHINGTON Criminal "mon-
ickers color gangland fic-
tion-are very often the only clue
by which actual lawbreakers are
discovered, according to the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation.
Careless use of nicknames by
companions during a bank robbery,
holdup, or kidnapping often proves
to be the downfall of a lawbreaker,
unidentified by other means, the
FBI says.
In conjunction with it's alias file,
the FBI maintains nickname" or
"monicker" file which now numbers
approximately 250,000.
A few of the highly descriptive
"monickers" in the FBI's files are:
Am I Blue, Awful Jim Johnson,
Barrel House Shorty, Big Lip Louie,
Boiler Maker Williams, Box Car
Casey, Bughouse Bill, Bunco the
Lemon, Charlie Kick the Door In.
Chew Tobacco Lewie, Garbage Can
Johnny, Gold-Tooth Frenchy, Soup
House Pete and JaZZabO Slim.
Included in the file of women
"monickers" are:
Belching Blanche, Bowlegged
Bessie, Cat Eye Annie, Fannie the
Hop, Get-Back Sallie, Hot and
Heavy, Iron Foot Florence, Lots O.
Mamma, Minnie the Moocher and
Three Finger Liz.
1T frequently occurs" the bureau
explains, 'that prior or subsequent
to the arrest of a person or the in
carceration of an individual in a pen
itentiary or Jail, he is given nick
name or monicker which very aptly
describes him and thereafter is his
constant familiar name as applied to
him by his companions in the under
world or criminal circles"

Fact And Opinion
IF THE REDS INVADE GERMANY
By E. C. Stengelsen.

II full credence could be given to
the current claims of the Russians,
it would seem to be by no means i'm
possible that they might be able to
make good on their avowed de-
termination to pursue the Nazis to
their own soil and there destroy them.
However, the informed appear to
be taking their claims with a large
grain of salt. Such dependable COM
mentators as Pearson & Allen and
Paul Mallon are in accord in stating
that the German "withdrawar' is in
fact a withdrawal to shortened line
and not the rout the Russians say it
is. These men further assert that
it is only the Nazi rearguard that has
taken substantial punishment; that
the territory lost by the invaders is
not nearly so extensive as the Rus
slams claim and that losses in man.
power in the entire campaign have
been only fraction of the great num-
Der advertised by the Reds. One
authority asserts that when allowance
is made for those who have sustained
only minor injuries and have been
or will be returned to duty, the net
total OF casualties may not run over
100000 men.

ganization will be set up very soon
to pass on allotments, especially on
such scarce materials as automobile
tires. This will consist of a board
of three. Another thing to be handled
by the council will be the sale of
defense bonds and stamps. A mo-
ton was made by Max McMillin,
county agent, that the defense coun-
Gil take over the sale of defense
bonds in the county, lending encour-
agement and direction when possible.
The motion was carried. A motion
was also made that the council 60
on record as favoring activity in the
collection of needed materials for de-
fense, such as waste paper and scrap
iron. This motion was seconded and
carried.
The meeting was then opened for
general discussion, and several ex-
plantations were made on what was
being done to assist in the nations
war efforts. Mrs. Jack Hurley of
Hinckley, mentioned the fact that
first aid instruction had been given
to a group in that village, and that
plans were under way to start home
nursing course after Christmas.
In concluding, Mr.. Hurley men,
toned the fact that while there did
not appear to be much immediate
work for the council, this would
rapidly develop as time went on,
and all members of the committee
were urged to be ready to do. their
part when requested. -

PEOPLES INTERESTS
COME FIRST

Editor Askov American:
, We all rejoice over the fact that
we are united as a nation in an eff
fort to defeat the nations with which
we are at war. think we are safe
in saying, every American citizen,
regardless of race, creed or political
party affiliation stands ready to GO
all the way in helping to that end
We all remember when the lease
lend bill was before the Congress
with powerful arguments for and
against the measure, administration
supporters said it was the first step
to be taken to keep us out of war
Those opposing the bill said it was the
first step to get us into the war. They
were called, very promptly by the
administration forces, almost every
thing but good American citizens
pro-this-that or something else, anti
this-that or the other thing. Some
Of them were smeared into silence
but who was right we can now ask
Oh, we have been attacked they
say. I am sure the people of Japan
feel they were to be fenced in and
starved into submission or fight for
their survival, and it was to be war
anyway, and they would take all the
advantage they could get. AS a citi-
zen of Minnesota, I am glad we can
say that every member sent from
Minnesota to either House opposed
the administration foreign policy,
with just one exception. That men,
ber was appointed without one hour
political or official background. That
is very extraordinary case, isn't it?
This appointee never failed to sup
port the administration war program.
Why this appointment was made, will
be shown up later I am sure. Some
one surely was looking out to tan
his own political skin regardless of
what was best for the people as a
whole.
I want to make a bold statement
right here, regardless of what our
party faith has been in the past. If
Minnesota as well as all states can
not elect men to Congress that put
the interests of the people ahead of
their own political future, we are
DOOMED. We must send men to
either House of Congress that believe
in and want to see continued in this
nation a government of, for and by
the people. Il always have marched
under the Republican banner.) y
I now see party label means very
little. We do have, thank God, one
man in Minnesota that has been a
public servant for many years. He
has shown in many ways and at many
times, that the good of the public
came first with him. He is well
worthy of any honors the voters OF
Minnesota can confer on him in 1912.
That man is our present Railroad &
Warehouse commissioner.

Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The Pine County Nursing Advisory
committee and subcommittee will
hold their fourth annual dinner meet
ing at the Madison hotel in Sand
stone, Thursday evening, January 8,
1912, at $50 o'clock. H. D. Stokes,
D. D. S., of Sandstone, will be toast
master and M. Brownstone, M. D.,
will welcome the guests. Miss Laura
Nelson will give report of the
public health work that has been
accomplished during this time. DR..
D. A. Dukelow, director of Public
Health Education, from the Minnesota
Department of Health, st. Paul, will
be guest speaker. His subject will
be Community Responsibility for the
Public's Health. Letters have been
sent out to those who we have on
the list, but if there is anyone who
reads this who wishes to attend this
meeting send your reservation to DR..
Stokes of Sandstone and he will take
care of it.
The northeast subcommittee will
meet Friday, January 3, at Nickerson
at two o'clock. This is an important
meeting and all members should at
tend.
Pine county has been fortunate in
selecting nurses for the service here.
1t is not, however, in matters of ILL
ness alone that the county nurse
proves her worth. Going into homes
where her service is needed, she has
an opportunity to discover first hand
the real need. Sometimes it's proper
food or clothing, or medical service
that is needed. The nurse is familiar
with agencies and will ask their aid
when necessary. Naturally this is
done in close touch with the family
doctor and with his hearty approval.
Helping families in these various
ways the nurse also helps to solve
desperately difficult problems and
thus becomes an indispensable link
in the coordinated chain of communi-
ty cooperation. She is more than a
nurse. She is the advisor, instruc-
tor and friend Of those she serves. :

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
More State Aids Received.
A. E. GUsrAFsoN, County supt.

The last half of the 1941 net income
tax money has arrived. Total five
dollars per pupil on new 1941 census
(6 to 16) amounts to $22 $4,000 for
Pine county schools. All aids earned
during the past school year have now
been received.
Schools Reopen.
Most schools will reopen on Mon
day, January fifth. A few of the
eight months schools will have a
longer vacation now during cold
weather.
More Changes.
Many changes in teachers have oc-
Cured since September. Several
other changes may occur soon in GER
tain accredited school positions. We
have been active overtime to try to
keep our teachers, and also keep in
touch with available teachers to fill
vacancies that are unavoidable. Thus
far our schools have all opened and
remained in session according to
schedules.
Prospects for 1912.
Our schools will no doubt face the
problems of higher wages and great
er teacher shortages this coming year.
State aids no doubt will be about
the same if we can hold what we
have in face of occasional threats Of
diversions.
Many small rural schools may find
it advisable and profitable to close
and transport to neighboring schools
if roads and distances are favorable.
This will meet the teacher shortage
and salary problems in some locali-
ties.
Paper shortage may cause books to
rise in prices, but most of our schools
are now quite well equipped.
During 1912 we hope all of you
readers of this paper will enjoy health
and happiness; and may you never
break your good resolutions, culti-
vate flower gardens in your Land of
Memories. May the Blue Bird of
Happiness dwell with you.
