Washington. June 24-With
the summer Capital established
at Swampscott. Mass, Washing
ton in many ways is like desert
ed village. There is hardly a cor
porals guard of high officials left
in the city. The Cabinet men,
bers are at their homes for the
summer.
Probably, the most active
people in Washington are the
large groups of visitors. The
Federal departments are func-
tioning but in the grip of deadly
routine. In other words, they
are not going out of their way
to take the initiative in anything.
The White House is being re-
modelled to make it more habit
able. The present structure is
more than a century old and only
at infrequent intervals have
changes been made in the equip
ment.
One member of the Presidents
staff will remain at the Execu-
tive Offices. He is Rudolph For
ester, the executive clerk, who
has served in that capacity for
many Chief Executives. His ef-
ficiency is such that a change in
Administration does not affect
his standing. The Summer White
House is in constant touch with
Mr.. Forester by special wire
which is kept open during the
business day.
With the official set missing
and quiet prevailing in Govern
mental circles, the Commission
ers of the District of Columbis
are doing their best to make
Washington an ideal place fol
slumber, despite the hot weather
Orders have been issued to po
licemen directing them to hush
the noises of the night. This

Information.
ny W. Y. HAMMARGREN
County Agent

Care should now be taken in
regard TO the grasshopper situa-
ton in some parts of the couEty.
Reports have been received that
grasshoppers are to be found.
They may not be serious enough
to do any considerable damage
this year but wherever found last
year there was considerable
damage done. Being prepared
for these pests is q mighty good
thing.
The following formula may be
used: Drug stores can supply

green if preferred. This can be
done by working the bran and
arsenic back and forth with a
scoop shovel on a tight floor or in
a wagon box. grain tank or gall
vanized water trough. II is very
important that every flake be
coated with the poison.
Second: Dissolve five pounds
of salt in twelve gallons of water
in a galvanized tub and add two
gallons Of cheap molasses and
three ounces of amyl acetate.
Stir until all ingredients are well
dissolved.
Third: Work the liquid materi-
ais into the bran and poison by
adding a little at time and turn
ing with a scoop shovel until no
dry bran remains. A good mix
ture will be uniformly mixed and
still scatter into small flakes
when broadcasted from the hand.
This is a mixture that has proven
satisfactory in many localities in
the state and can be used in this
county wherever grasshoppers
appear.
For further information, we
will be glad TO send anyone upon
request, Circular No. II in regard
to poisoning grasshoppers. Poi

loss later.

late afternoon of a summer day,

climbing on and off battleships
anchored along the banks for sew

they are at the theater, most
amused by the players who
ridicule them with the
subtlest sarcasm; and at
the beaches where they can play
as though without a care in
the world, laughing above the
roar of the breakers when jump
ing into the ticklish foam. The
majority. though, can not escape
the rush at the subway morning
and evening or the football tao
tics necessary to emerge from
the jam; neither can they escape
the apartment house as a make
shift for the home-house.
Washington. therefore, with its
wide streets, beautiful dwellings

Washingtonians will wait at the

international personages on the
street with interest in their
glance but not awe, or stand in
line for hours outside the White
House on a New Years morning,
chatting in low voices while
awaiting their turn to exchange
greetings with the President and
the First Lady. The handshake
of Mr.. Coolidge was firm and the
smile of Mrs. Coolidge most gra-
cious. Citizen or visitor of the
American capital all pay homage
at the foot of one President:
Abraham Lincoln. In the gray

means that the unnecessary talk
ing and clatter of milk wagon
drivers and other sources of
raucous sounds will be silenced.
The talk Of tax reduction is
again revived with the return of
Congressman Green, of Iowa,
Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Ways and Means. who has
been studying European tax
systems. The u. S. Chamber of
Commerce completed a referen-
dunn this week of over 1000 or
ganizations of business men with
the result that the viewpoint of
American business has been pre-
sented in three recommendations
on taxation. The most important
was an appeal for some co-ordi-
dinating influence both between
the states themselves and be-
tween the state and the Federal
Government in levying taxes.
American business men have re-
commended that steps be taken
to perfect some organization com.
posed of representatives of the
state and national Governments
to consider the entire question OF
the inequities and burdens caused
by unsystematic tax laws. The
votes of business men affiliated
with local Chambers Of Com
merce showed that sentiment ia
vored the abolition of nationa
estate taxes.
The absence of high govern
ment officials from Washington
permits the spotlight to cente
on others in less important Fed
eral posts. One of the feature
of the Government service is tn,
number of scientists on the pay
rolls. Many of these men ar,

Coming back to this land OF
low horizons is like coming into
freedom. But the glory of the
free. open spaces of this middle
west thins out into monotonous
smoothness. The variety in color
and in height of even as low a
range as the Green Mountains
seems infinite to a person reared
in flat country.
Standing at an elevation where
those green heights can be seen
stretching on and on, westerner
is Immediately struck with the
wonder how the pioneers ever
found their way out of those
winding valleys to these plains.
And equally astonished is the
westerner at the meagerness of
the farms left to produce food
for the overpopulated Atlantic
coast. The fields are small and
the buildings scant. and yet there
is certain amount of prosperity,
for valley soil is fertile and New
Englanders are frugal. The per
capita savings account of the
state of Vermont was the highest
of any in the union for the year
1924. And dairying will always
be a profitable business in the
vicinity of such big markets as
New York and Boston.
Returning at Christmas time
from the piles of brick and stone
in lower Manhattan and of wet
snow in the city of Washington
to the powdery whiteness OF
mountain heights silhouetted
against a smokeblue sky in Yer

men had ever left the everlasting
beauty of those hills for the mo-
mentary satisfaction of wealth
and political power.

Bruno, Minn.. Special to the

with his family came to Bruno
from Porter, Minn., less than two
months ago. and was busy clear
ing land and preparing for a
home. was kicked by a horse on
his place last Friday afternoon,
dying two days later.
Mr.. Kragness was born in Nor

1925. at Bruno. After coming
from Norway he settled at
Porter. Minn.. where he remain
ed till they moved to Bruno May
2, last. He purchased land ad-
joining Frank 0lson's on the east
and since he came only seven
weeks ago with the help of his
three boys at home has cleared
and plowed four acres of land,
fenced his land and had it nearly
brushed, so was ready to start to
build his house and barn. They
were fast making a home.
On Friday the flies were bad
and he went to spray the horses
legs when he received the fatal
blow. All that medical aid and
neighbors could do TO assist at a
time like that was done.
The funeral services were held
from the Swdish Lutheran
church, Rev. Ostergren having
charge. He spoke very comfort
ing words. The choir sang

Under His Wings" and "AsleeI

Mr.. Kragness leaves to mourn
his sudden demise a wife ant

that we are all their friends il
we are strangers and trust they
may remain here to make this

Disease in Apisries.

The deputy Of apiaries, r.
ODonnell of Rush City. has in
formed us that the American
Foul-brood, a disease which has
been found in apiaries in Pine
county, is very destructive and
every precaution possible should
be taken to prevent the spread
Of this disease. 1t is unfortun-
ate that so many beekeepers do
not know that the law forbids the
selling or giving away of bees or
any equipment that has been
used without having the same in
spected and a permit issued. 1t
is also unlawful to expose the
hives or any equipment used in
the apiaries that are diseased
where the bees may have an ac-
cess to the same.
Foul-brood of either the Ameri-
can or European kind causes con-
siderable loss in the production
of honey wherever this disease is
found. Any beekeepers now hav-
ing any trouble with their bees
should not hesitate to call for q
state inspection. There are no
charges. II is made by the state
and any beekeeper knowing of
any irregularities in any apiary
should notify the state inspector,

Tourists from u. s.
During 1924 Denmark was
visited by 310,317 tourists from
foreign countries, among them
being AGO from the United
States. This latter number is
said to mark the lowest stage
which the influx of American
travellers has registered in any
year since the end of the World
war, but this year it is expected
that approximately 10000 Ameri-
can tourists will visit Denmark.
The figures given are not exact
since they include only those who
wrote their names in the hotel
registers of the country.
