Bonus Bill
Before Senate,
QUICK ACTION URGED TO AL
LOW TIME TO REPASS MEA-
SURE OVER POSSIBLE VETO.

The soldiers bonus bill, crushed by a
presidential veto after it's previous
passage through congress, SATURDAY.
started on the last stage of another
journey to probable similar fate
when it was ordered reported to the
senate by the finance committee.
The bill as reported was virtually
the same as the measure which passed
the house. 1t is built around pro-
vision for 20 year endowment insur-
ance policies for the veterans.
Republican leaders will decide
whether it will take precedence in the
senate over the tax bill. Bonus ad-
vocates urge that it be taken up first
so that they will have time before the
session ends to pass it over possible
veto by President Coolidge.
The committee gave only the brief
est consideration to the bill, reporting
it after three days of discussion. Dem
ocrats interposed no objections, for
they will bring up their own bill, pro-
viding for cash compensation.

the executive committee Of the Com

for the third party convention which
has been called to convene at st. Paul

Senator La Toilette, who has con-
sistently fought special privilege since
he first entered the arena, is our lc
gical candidate" Mr.. Hopkins said
"He undoubtedly will be nominated
unless his health forbids. But this
movement is not built on any person

take on the strain Of a campaign an
other standard bearer will be nominal
ed.
''It is not surprising that rumors
have emanated from Washington that
La Toilette is unsympathetic towarj

absolutely without foundation. The
best evidence of this lies in the fact
that every plank in our platform is
included in the official La Toilette

REV. &c. REINEKE RESIGNS AF.
TER THREE YEARS OF
HARD LABOR.

After a period of thoughtful scon-
sideration, President E. c. Reineke, OF
Parker college, has rendered mis- resig-
nation, owing to his inability to con-
form to the program mapped out by
the General Board of Education of the
Methodist Episcopal church, resigna-
tion to take effect this fall.
During President Reineke's tenure
of office much improvement mas been
made in the educational curriculum Of
the college and the resignation of
President Reineke is received with re
gret throughout this community.
Under his able supervision the college
has served as medium of education
to a large number of young men and
women to whom a college education
would have been impossible under
other circumstances, and the stringent
rules of department have brought only
the highest type of students for en-
rollment. This watchfulness has
been highly appreciated by WinneDago
residents.
A meeting will be held today by the
college trustees to discuss the advis-
ability of operating the college asit
has been during the past few years
Next week a detailed report will be
given of the action taken by this
,board.-Winnebago Enterprise.

JOS. KIEMEN COMPLETES WORK
WHICH BEAUTIFIES INTERIOR
OF CATHOLIC CHURCH. :

The Church of Saint Catherine has
just been decorated, the work on the
main part having been completed last
week. The interior now presents a
beautiful appearance and is source
of much satisfaction to the pastor,
Father j. w. Jiracek and his parishon-
ers. The decorating has been done
under the personal supervision of Jos.
Kiemen of Hampton, Minn who makes
speciality of church decoration. The
expense of the work is BORN by the
women's societies of the church. The
approximate cost is $4,000.
The soft gray tones used by Mr..
Kiemen for the body of the work
harmonic most beautifully with the
ivory and cream tones used about the
sanctuary. These soft shades make
an artistic background for the gar
ments of the statues which add just
the necessary touch of color. The
blue ceiling of the sanctuary upon
which is painted the figures of two
angels and a beautifully executed
cress, adds also to the att1 activeness
of the color scheme. The sanctuary
is exquisitely done in ivory shades
with the columns in onyx and tn
bases and capitals in Roman bronze
The ceiling has been treated in a
paneled and vaulted effect which adds
materially to the apparent height OF
the church. The basement of the
church is being done in two colors and
will be completed this week so that
the church may be complete in its
fresh beauty for Easter

and was also known to Father Jiracek
before coming here. The success of
his present piece of work shows that
the local church made wise choice IN
selecting him for the artist. The
Church of ST. Catherine is one of
the most attractive of the city
churches and in its new dress is ex-
ceedinglv good to look upon. Floors,
pews and other furnishings have been
redone and add much to the freshness
of appearance.

Ford is very frank regarding his

ond because he does not see any pro-
spect of a man whom he considers

He does not regard his support OF

S. P. Hicks Is
4 Killed in Chicago
PROMINENT MAN DIES AS RE-
SUIT OF ACCIDENT WEDNES-
DAY OF LAST WEEK.

Stephen F. Hicks, for more than
thirty years a resident of Redwood
County, died at st. Lukes Hospital in
Chicago Wednesday evening, April
9th. He was picked up on the streets
at three o'clock that afternoon suffer-
ing from fractured skull. Just what
the accident was that caused this IN
jury has not been definitely learned
here and there are numerous rumors.
The most plausible one is that he was
endeavoring to recover his hat which
had blown from his head, and was
struck by street car. He lived about
three hours after being taken to the
hospital. Mr.. Hicks had gone to Chic
ago on a business mission and ex-
pected to leave for home the evening
of his death. The burial services
were held at the home farm in Gales
township and at the Methodist Church
in Tracy Sunday afternoon and the
body was then taken to Hudson, Iowa
for burial.
Mr.. Hicks was native of England
but had been in America since his
boyhood. His family first settled in
Iowa upon coming to this country and
on a farm near Waterloo, Iowa, the
young Stephen mastered the problems
of successful farming. However, he
was for several years connected with
a successful coal firm in Chicago, first
being associated with one OF the Palm
ers of that city, and later with his
brother. Following this he came to
Redwood County, where he acquired
extensive farm lands and began the
work of farming and stock raising
around which his life has conferred for
the past thirty years. AT the time
of his death he was the second largest
land holder in the County possessing
more that thirty-two hundred acres
The deceased was seventy-seven years
of gae.
Mr.. Hicks was united in marriage
to Miss Mary McManus of Illinois and
to them were born nine children, one

Prices, Not Credd,
Farmers Demand
FARM ,BuREAU's POLL oN1Me
NARY -HAtGEN' Bill STANDS
1855 FOR: IL AGAINST,

Better prices, not more credit is the
demand made by four out of five far
mers voting in the FARM Bureau 5
state wide poll on the McNary-Haugen
bill, according to word from the St.
Paul headquarters of the Federation
Early this week, the vote stood 1855
for the plan and II against it.
With singular unanimity, farmers
are supporting the. measure. The
scattering votes came either from
former farmers or from persons who
accompanied their ballots with an
explanation of pet theory which
they urged as substitute.
On more than half of the ballots,
farmers have written remarks, rang
ing from a few words demanding M
mediate action to lengthy letters ex-
planning why agriculture must have
the relief which is provided by the
legislation.
A large number of ballots bear SEN
timents which indicate that unless the
who either lend their support to ae
laying action or vote against it, will
have lot of explaining to do to their
constituents.
No project ever started by the Farm
Bureau has enjoyed such widespread
popularity. In many instances, whole
communities signed the ballot, writ
ten in petition form. In one instance,
a paper duplicated the coupon In an
effort to assist in getting representa-
tive expression from farmers.
Though the referendum has been
under way foF nearly two weeks the
food of ballots continues.

Marquis Curzon or Sir Eric Crewe
who in the foreign secretary's alb

already given up the reins of state
and gone home. and Sir Eric, like
most British officials who believe In
