diction of the committee. has
aroused nationwide interest in
the power Of Congress to investi-
gate. The Senate has submitted
contempt charge to the authori-
ties of the District Of Columbia
and legal rulings in this case will
have much to do with the func-
tons of committees hereafter.
The vote on the contempt charge
indicated that it was not a party
question. Some believe that
there is a danger in the abuse
of inquisitorial power by legisla-
tive bodies in that there is a dis
position to enter Unfortunately
in the domain of private life and
personal affairs of public officials
for the purpose of gratifying per-
sonal animosity or casting reflec-
ton upon those in power. 1t is
a debatable question.
The Senate has also voted to
impeach c. c. Chase. son-in-law
of Albert Fall. for his refusal to
testify. The impeachment is
brought about by the fact that he
is a federal officer serving as col
lector of customs in the South,
and therefore subject to proceed
ings Of this kind. The court de-
cision will effect all parties as it
will necessarily determine the
extent of the judicial functions
of Congress and its power to
establish a tribunal to inquire
into private lives of any citizens.
1t is manifestly hard to strike a
balance in the mass of testimony
given before the various Senate
investigating committees. Re-
sponsible officials of the Demo-
cratic and Republican National
committees have been requested
to testify as to the connection of
the oil interest with their cam
paign funds. 1t is said in many
quarters that leaders of the
major parties are disturbed as

committees extend their activi-

COOP BUTTER FOR
BOYS IN THE NAVY
Entire Contract Awarded to Min.
nesota Cooperative Cream.
cries Assn.

(By Farm Burean News service)
Sweet cream butter. made in
cooperative creameries of Min
nesota, is to be used exclusively
in the United States navy. A
contract to supply 100000 pounds
has just been awarded to the
Minnesota Cooperative Cream
cries Association. according to
an announcement made by II. y.
Meyer. sales manager.
The award covers 100000 for
the yards at Norfolk. Va. and
10000 pounds for those at San
Francisco. The butter will be
packed at the St. Paul headquar-
tiers OF the Association in 5-pound
tins during April and May. Upon
receipt. the Government will
place it in cold storage until
needed.
The association was awarded
the contract at a price approxi-
mately 10 cents above the New
York Extra market, because il is
in position to supply vast amount
of butter of uniform grade and
quality in short period Of time.
This is the first time all the
butter for the navy has been pur-
chased through one agency. In
years past, isolated creameries
Of the state have shipped a small
part Of the supply. Never be-
fore has the San Francisco yards
been supplied from sources out
side California.
The contract is a great step
forward for the Association" said
Mr.. Meyer. 1T shows that ex-
pert buyers now realize that the
Association is able to supply
highest quality in large amounts
and can guarantee the grade at
all times. This we are able to
do because we are sales agents
for a large majority Of the best
creameries in the state"

WASHINGTON Letter
o. " ICDaley

Washington. April Changes
in the personnel of the Presi-
dents Cabinet continue to furn-
ish the thrills for newspaper
readers. The resignation of
Harry Daugherty as Attorney
General at the request of Presi-
den Coolidge proved a distinct
surprise as it was believed that
the Chief Executive would allow
him to remain at his post until
the investigation into his alleged
incompetency simmered down.
There is a wide variance of
opinion throughout the country
as to the effect of this dismissal
on the political fortunes of Mr..
Coolidge, though the retirement
of the Attorney General was gen.
orally considered an eventuality.
The action of the President in
demanding the resignation of his
Cabinet advisor has been various
ly construed in the Capital and
elsewhere. Some hold that it
was a bold bid for support of the
Republican Senators who have
shown their feeling in the matter
by refusing to help the Admins
tration in its controversies while
Daugherty remained in office.
Others, notably Democrats, say
that Mr.. Coolidge realized the
urgency of casting the Attorney
General adrift with the develop
ment Of testimony before the
various committees of the Senate
now investigating his connection
with the various oil scandals.
There Is still another element, q
mixed group. which criticized the
president for what they term the
abandonment of a member OF
his Cabinet while under fire from
political opponents. The Daugh.
erty affair. now catalogued as an
incident, will be kept alive until
the elections. Meanwhile the in
vestigators continue to reveal in
teresting testimony regarding
public affairs.

BABY, CHILDREN'S
CLINIC AT ASKOV
Mothers Invited to Bring
Children for Exam
April IL.

DIR. ID. c. Lochead Of the Min
nesota Public Health Association,
assisted by nurse and likely the
local physician, DR.. p. N. Fenger,
will conduct a baby and child
ren's clinic at the assembly hall
in Askov on Friday afternoon,
April IL, commencing at 2
o'clock.
Mothers are invited to bring
their children for examination
and helpful advice regarding the
preservation of health. At 4
o'clock the nurse will give a talk
to the women on the care OF
babies, proper foods, and the like.
1t was thought most advisable
to have the clinic in the assembly
hall and not in the school house
because great care is taken
to have only healthy children in
school-or at least to make it a
place where all parents feel safe
in sending their children to,
hence best not TO advertise to
bring any but the most healthy
there.

parent-teachers meeting the
same evening.

The test of man is the fight he makes
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fates numerous bumps and blows.
A coward smile when there's naught to fear
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes to stand up and cheer
While other fellow stars.

But the fight that brother makes;
The man. who, driven against the wall,
Still stands erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held high,
Bleeding and bruised and pale.

For he isn't afraid to fail.
It's the bumps you get and the jolts you get
And the shocks that your courage stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret.

That test your mettle and prove your worth;
It isn't the blows you DEAL
But the blows you take on this good old earth
That shows if your stuff is real
