Washington, June 3-The ques'
ton which is causing considerable
discussion in official life here is
the extent to which a mans polit-
ical affiliations restrict his social
affairs. The most astounding
revelation of the week is the
comment seeping through from
Alabama as to Senator Oscar W.
Underwood's trip with the Presi-
dent of the United States when
ne was guest aboard the U. S. S
Mayflower recently. The princi.
pal objection seems to be that il
is not right and proper for one
who was an avowed candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
President to mingle socially with
the man who was elected Chief
Executive of the Nation.
While no publicity has been
given to this development it is
said that both men feel that it is
intensely petty criticism and is
indeed carrying political hatreds
to a deplorable extreme. Inquiry
shows that Mr.. Coolidge and SEN
ator Underwood became firm
friends while the former was the
presiding officer of the United
States Senate. The many courte-
sizes extended to the then Vice.
President by the Senator from
Alabama made deep impression.
Those who know the President
well say that the associations in
the Senate established a firm
friendship between the quiet and
sometimes shy New Highlander
and the genial and courtly gentle
man from the South. AS conse-
quence, Mr.. Underwood has al
ways been warmly welcomed at
the White House. 1t is said that
neither the Senator nor the Pres
ident need apologies to explain
the invitation to cruise with the

Miss Margaret Schroeder. The
songs were well received.
Rev. c. Ward Simpson Of Du-
luth, former pastor at Bruno,
made his first public appearance
in Askov and gave a rather
lengthy talk, but interesting
throughout and he was we'll re-
ceived. The first Is or 20 minutes
he cracked joke now and then
and talked on a multitude Of sub
jects-more on the entertaining
order-but toward the middle oil
his talk he commenced to dwell
upon a few definite topics and
handled IT well. He said that
true education is not alone know.
ledge but knowledge backed by
character and with it should fol.
low a desire to serve-not self.
ishness.
A number of Bruno people,
justly proud of their former
pastor. were down to hear him
Friday.
While the speaking was going
on the school children were en-
joying games at a little distance.
Refreshments were then serv-
ed-all the children getting free
ice cream-during which the
band again played several selcc-
tions. 1t was noticeable that the
addition of several clarionets,
especially, which came about by
the organization of the new class
five months ago. has made good
improvement in the band. Here
tofore the band has always been
short of reed instruments. II
now has 10 clarionets, l piccolo
and 2 saxophones.
The school picnic and Memorial
day celebration as a whole was
a success and a good ending to a
successful school year.

tendent of schools, then gave a
short talk on a part of the Ameri-
can history-telling about Daniel
Boone and his followers crossing
the Appalachian mountains and
settling in the states of Ken
lucky and Tennessee. He said
they were thrifty but mostly
illiterate people and through
their isolation slow to take up
modern methods of agriculture
and education.
A few songs were rendered by
the newly organized Askov giee
club of IL male voices under the
direction of Rex Truman. Ar
