DEBORAH BOYS
TO WEST POINT
Congressman Haugen Has Named
Several Decorah Young Men For
West Point and Annapolis.
HAUGEN URGED
FOR THE SENATE
Has Declined the Honors and Feels
His Services viii be of Greater
Value in the House.

When the Hon. William S. Kenyon
resigned from the Senate recently
Congressman Gilbert N. Haugen was
bombarded with letters and tele-
grams urging him to become a cam
didate for the vacancy. In spite of
the fact that the location of his
residence in the state, his attitude
on certain vital questions, and his
long experience in Congress would, it
is believed have made his election
certain, Mr.. Haugen declined to per-
NIT his name to be used on the
ground that his position as Chairman
of the Committee on Agriculture en-
ables him, by pushing legislation
helpful to farmers, to be of greater
service to his constituents in the
House than he could be in the Sem
ate.
A bill providing method for
stabilizing the prices of farm pro-
ducts will be prepared and present
ed to Congress at as early date as
possible by the Committee on Agri-
culture, which concluded last week
the hearings it had been conducting
on that subject.
Hearings were held last week by
the Committee on Agriculture on the
so called Game Refuge Bill, which
has for its objects the establishment
of public shooting grounds, the
maintenance of game refugees and
breeding places, the protection of
migratory birds, and requiring a
Federal license for hunting them.
As the result of competitive exam
nations conducted under the suner-
vision of the Civil Service Commits.
sion, Congressman Haugen has nam
ed the following young men to take
the examinations for West Point and
Annapolis:-For West Point, Warren
r. Price, of Decorah, as principal,
and Arthur Thomas ForSon, of West
Union, and Robert S. Rinard, of Ma
son City, as first and second alter
mates respectively. For Annapolis,
Lewis G. Tiffany, as principal, and
Ed c. Griffith, Richard H. Zahn, and
Sam Garfin, Jr., all of Mason City,
as alternates in the order named,
also Carl w. Anderson of Waukon,
as principal, and the following in the
order named as alternates, Calvin C.
Young, of Lawler, Frank C. Lomas,
of Cresco, Roscoe w. Barbour, also
Olaf Viste, of Decorah, as principal,
and Donald C. Brown, of Rockford,
Harold |. Nesheim, of Decorah, For
est P. Cavanaugh of Rockford, alt
ernates, also David C. Maddy, prin-
cipal and Clyde M. Erickson, For
rest G. Newman and John M. Grubb,
all of Mason City, as alternates.

Haugen Will Have Clear Sailing

Congressman Haugen will be a
candidate for reelection and his
thousands of friends in the district
VIII be more than pleased to sup
port him again. He has held their
confidence and has done the right
thing always. The Clear Lake Mir
ror speaks of him in the following:
Congressman Gilbert N. Haugen
will be candidate for reelection
and the Republicans of this district
recognizing his pre-eminent position
in congress, will give him unani-
nous endorsement in the June pri-
maries. This is as it should be. Mr..
Haugen is the dean of the Iowa
delegation and in service one of the
oldest members of congress. His
continuous retention in Congress
has given him a wide acquaintance
and prestige that makes him IA
valued member of the nations law
making body. His advancement to
the Craftsmanship of the Agricultural
Committee, one of the most import
ant committees, establishes his rank
and standing with his fellow CO.
workers and this district and state
could i'll afford to dispense with his
services and commanding position
and influence he has acquired in
congress and in the nation.

The Slow Pay Crowd

Retail merchants in many places
often remark that the people who
give them the most trouble in col
lections are not the ones who have
limited means. In one town where
the railroad track divides the COM
munity, those on one side are sup
posed to have the more wealth. But
the business men of the place have
said they would rather extend credit
to a family in the. section where the
ordinary folks live, than to one in
the weaIthier district.
People who get in the habit of
spending money freely, are often
careless as to their financial stand
ing. They may be solvent, yet
their money may be so tied up that
they are short of ready cash. AS
expectations are frequently disap-
pointed, such folks often get beyond
their depth.
People of limited means are apt
to figure their expenses ard income
carefully. Many such families be-
lives in cash payments, and wish
that the credit habit could be cut
out, so that they would not have to
be assessed for the losses caused by
the slow pay crowd.

"DECORIANS COME HOME"
By Viola Coleman-Toye

Again rings out DER hill and lea
The call, 'DecOrians come home''
The message floats from sea to sea,
''Decorah girls and boys come home
In tears we bravely said good-by,
Then kept the home fires bright for you
And now glad JOY supplant the sigh,
You're coming home-yes, yes It's true
Come home and tell us all our joys
Your sorrOws-yes, We'll share them, too
You've hosts of friends, but you know, boys.
That no one cares as home folks do.
Come home our old durm corps to greet
That thrilling sound of fife and drum
Remains with memory sweet,
And now again they come they come
You'll surely come, mighty throng,
If you love us as we love you;
Our hills will join our welcome song 0
Old Glory wave a welcome, too
Come Home!
All Decorah.

but said "hello Ole" and shook
hands and we had a dandy visit,
and he paid for my breakfast
and asked me into his car. He
had birth in the car ahead of
mine, so went in there and sat
and talked until we reached Chi
cago. He went through to New
York and only stopped a couple
of hours. Treated me fine. At
the depot he called me over and

When the Rolfe Arrow "sees a

wonder if some of our modern

some of the women who are using
