Much Oratory Uncorked.

The longest debate that the
state senate has pulled off dur
ing the present session, and one
of the longest for many, many
years, came Tuesday afternoon,
when the loan shark" bill. which
recently passed the house, was
taken up as special order. The
debate started at 2 o'clock and
continued without let-up til Z
o'clock in the evening, five solid
hours of oratory. And the bill
was killed. not because Of the or
atory but because there was a
feeling among the senators that
the law proposed had dangerous
possibilities. While ostensibly
aimed at loan sharks, the SEN
ators feared that it might create
a new crop OF such creatures and,
at the same time. stiffen the in
terest rates charged by the state
and national banks. In brief, the
bill permitted loan companies TO
charge UP to 81 per cent inter
est per month. or AZ per cent per
year, on loans of $500 OF less.
The authors of the bill admitted
that this is a high rate. but much
lower than the loan sharks Of the
twin cities now get, by fair
means or foul. from their hard
pressed victims.

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT
Given by Faculty Of Askov Pub.
lie School Sunday evening.

The faculty Of the Askov pub
lie school gave an entertainment
lasting an hour and Is minutes
before a crowded house at the
assembly hall Sunday evening.
under auspices of the Danish
Young Peoples Society.
After the singing of two songs
by the entire assemblage, the
school "mar'ms" presented a
little sketch showing the activi-
ties of a sewing circle which was
very humorous. The following
took part: The Misses Iveson,
Paulsen, Johnson, Yngve, Rich
ardson. Veasey. Brons, Ellingson
and Mrs. Swan. Miss Veasey did
well in acting the part Of
mistress Of the house and car
ried herself with the necessary
dignity and air OF hostess. The
part Of maid being a German
girl with much brogue and. the
twisting of sentences grammati-
cally-was well acted by Miss
Richardson. and Miss. Brons, as
the old lady. caused much
laughter by her inability TO hear
well and consequent misinterpre-
tations. The ladies were sewing
for foreign missions but in the
midst of it all received a large
express box which caused Mrs
Swan to remark-"Oh, those
dear men, aren't they dear to
think of us. On opening they
found the box filled with old
trousers, shirts and the like, be-
longing to their husbands, which
needed mending. The ladies
were honored by the presence OF
a rich woman, that part being
acted by Miss Yngve. This natur-
ally caused no little commotion
and preparation.
Piano duets by the Misses
Johnson and Iverson were well
received. Two pleasing violin
solos were played by Arthur
Ellingson. the high school prin-
cipal, and Miss Brons sang a song
entitled. "A Little Man" which
was thoroughly enjoyed. The
little artificial man on a table
and his costume helped materi-
ally in presenting this. only Miss
Brons' face and the hands Of a
silent assistant-Miss Iverson
showing.
The entertainment ended with
the showing of a tableau pres mt
ing the three Scandinavian coun-
tries the Misses Yngve. FL
lingson and Paulsen-while the
national airs of the three coun-
tries-Sweden. Norway and Den
mark-were being played on the
violin and piano. This was very
pretty. Miss Clara Petersen
played the piano accompaniment.
