Few towns in the state can boast
OF such fine clothing stores as the
Ben Bear square dealing store in
this city. The other day Mr. Bear re-
ceived the following letter from a
gentleman from Emmetsburg who

CONGRESSMAN HAUGEN'S son.
Receives High HOnors. Has Numer-
Gus Degrees From Washington
Colleges.

washington, ID. &. July 3.-Laur-
itz G. Haugen, secretary to his faith
err, the dean of the Iowa delegation
and representative from the Fourth
district of Iowa, has large pair OF
shoulders. He also has level head,
into which he has crammed lots of
useful knowledge.
That's the reason for this narra-
tive, for it concerns the shoulders
and the head OF young Mr.. Haugen,
upon which and into which he enjoys
today the dis inction of having nu-
merous degrees frc IN Washington
colleges of learning.
Haugen graduated last February
from the George Washington Law
school with honors, procuring his de-
gree of bachelor of law. He then
made use Of his well-proportioned ell
ergy in tackling studies for his mas
ter's degree, not being satisfied with
this honor in his alma mater, but go
ing to George Washington in the
mornings and attending Georgetown
University Law school il the eve
nings.
In both of these institutions he ac-
complished the unusual feat of pass
ing the necessary studies and high
percentage to gain his masters de-
grees in the remarkably short time
of four months. This is the shortest
period any of the students have COM
pleted their masters work.
Thus it can readily be seen that
Haugen has a pair of large commodi-
Gus shoulders to carry the head by
which he has mastered the studies OF
two of Washington highest institu-
tons of learning and received there
from the major degrees they confer.
Mr.. Haugen last night received his
masters degree in George Washing
ton Law school and next Thursday he
will be in the class which will receive
the masters degree in patent laws
lat the Georgetown University Law
school Prof. William Howard Taft,
formerly president of the United
States, will address the graduates.
Mr.. Haugen's early education was
obtained in the grade schools Of his
home town of Northwood, the prepar-
atory work at 'Shattuck Military
school at Faribault, Mimi, and his
academic work at the University of
Minnesota.
While in Washington in addition to
handling the secretarial work for his
father, he has been able to serve in
an organization known as the Legal
Aid Society, the members of which
served as counsel and legal advisors
for clients who are unable TO employ
attorneys who demand retainers. He
also is a member of the Zeta Psi fra
ternity.

UNITED STATES is
PREPARED TO ACT

Washington, June Is, - The United
States is ready to act quickly in Mex
leo should attacks on American citi-
zens or on General Pershing's army
force the issue.
1t was said positively in official cir
cles that the United States is consid.
ering no aggressive action to be taken
of it's own motion, but will brook no
attack
No official would venture predic-
ton as to what might be expected in
the immediate future.
In common with some consuls in
Mexico they believe almost any event
uality is possible.
The state department received con
firmation of the Identification of one
of the Mexicans killed in the Coleman
ranch raid as Lieutenant Colonel VII
lereal of the Carranza army.
1t is understood the development
Immediately was called to General
CarranZa's attention.
Dispatch of the reply to General Car
ranza's demand for withdrawal OF
American troops probably will be de-
layed until after the st. Louis con
vention because the administration de-
sires to avoid any drastic step at a
time when it might appear to be
prompted by political influences

New York, June 15.-American patri-

the past fifteen years, according to
Rear Admiral b. A. Fiske, U. S; N,

Defense society here. The officer has
just retired after serving forty-two
years in the navy.

miral Fiske said. "the patriotism OF
the nation has been rapidly weakening
and the outbreak of the European war
found us well started down the road
way that leads to destruction.
THE war found the United States
following Egypt, Assyria, China, Rome
and the other countries that had
enough manliness to achieve a high
elevation, but had not enough manli
ness left to maintain It,"

AFTER PROGRESSIVE VOTE
Hughes VIII Not Permit Old Guard
to Manage Campaign.

New York, June 15.-If the old
guard thinks ii can get hold of the
machinery of the Republican party
and conduct the candidacy of Charles
Evans Hughes to best suit itself it
had best look out for bumps.
Friends of the candidate let 1t be
known Mr.. Hughes will insist on
having the major say in conduct of
the campaign.
He will strive to give all its actions
a finality that will attract the Pro
gressiyes. There is a feeling at head
quarters that. should the old guard
sters, Murray Crane, Boies Penrose,
Reed Smoot ct al. appear to have
control of the campaign. the Progress
sive vote will be very coy
On the other hand. the Hughes
personal camp believes even the most
case hardened standpatters will be
willing to pitch in and work for
Hughes, even if the old guard is
placed so far as the public eye is
concerned, on the side lines.
