elusive, by mostly local talent and
under auspices of the Jens II.
Jensen post of the American Le-
gion. is published in their ad on
page 5 of this weeks issue. 1t
will be noted that there is a
change from the original propos-
ed program in that the North
Branch Glee Club is not TO APP
pear. Being off on vacations and
not able to gether all their men
they cancelled the engagement.
The glee club from Grasston has
been substituted and they come
well recommended. II is also
very likely that the school super
intendent at Grasston, +. l..
Mills, will appear on the Sunday
program, giving some chalk work,
and Mrs. Mills as violinist.
Those taking part in the home
talent play Daddy Long Legs
are working industriously to per-
feet their parts. and the vaude-
vile show program, band ,orches-

programs are all receiving drill.

Washington. July 15.--Mem-
bers of Congress have made an
alarming discovery. There are
few. if any vacancies in the gov
eminent service. This dearth Of
patronage was revealed this week
when many Federal employees
journeyed to the Capitol hunting
for jobs. The cutting down of
certain appropriations at the end
of the fiscal year, June 30, re-
leased many of the constituents
of senators and congressman.
A rather pathetic spectacle is
afforded in the scramble for jobs.
There are many members of Con-
gress who will be up for re-elec-
tion within a few months and are
now particularly solicitous about
their constituents and the pa
tronage for their particular
district. Inasmuch as only
one committee which would
require clerical assistance will
function during the summer, the
pressure on the chairman is very
strong. This body. the Senate
Committee on Privileges and
Elections, will investigate the
contest between Senator Brook
hart. Republican, of Iowa, and
Daniel w. Steck, Democratic can
didate for the Senate.
Senator Ernst. Republican, OF
Kentucky, has adopted a novel
scheme to satisfy his senatorial
colleagues who are constantly
writing him asking him TO take
care of" their jobless constitu.
ents. The chairman has told all
applicants that the one having
the largest number of personal
endorsements from senators will
be considered for the post. The
job at its best pay is only few
hundred dollars but in spite OF
this many are seeking the open.
ing.
The retrenchment policy Of the
Administration has released
many Federal employees from
high salaried jobs. 1t may seem
strange to the people at home
why these employees discharged
from their present duties will
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1925-07-16

take examinations for the same
job at an extremely low entrance
salary. They make various sacri-
fees to be retained on the gov
eminent pay roll rather than
return home to teach school or
to take up work in the stores, or
ON the farm. There seems to be
a lure about Washington life that
makes government employment
desirable even if the social
sphere is restricted.
One of the reasons that govern
ment jobs are regarded by out
siders as soft snaps" is the
policy of allowing 80 days sick
leave and 30 days annual leave.
This labor policy would bankrupt
or lessen the efficiency, at least.
of private institutions. There is
some talk that the present Ad-
ministration will reduce these
two months vacation period
taken at the expense of the tax
payers. Two weeks is the ordi.
nary vacation period in private
life.
The most harassed individual
in the Federal service today is
the personal officer connected
with the government depart.
ments. He is under pressure from
senators and congressman at the
Capitol to find openings for their
voters from the home districts
He must be a bold man indeed To
stand up against such political
pressure because there is always
the fear of having revenge taker
in December when departmental
appropriations are requested Of
Congress.
The decentralization Of Ger
tain Government bureaus ha.
also resulted in a demand fol
transfers from Federal depart
ments in Washington in order Il
be near their home towns. The
Civil Service Commission is moi
as easily influenced as the depart
ments. They weigh the brain Of
candidates for Federal jobs while
Congressman estimate only the
political calibre.

RURAL CREDIT BUREAU
TO LOAN STATE FUNDS
Announces Readiness to Receive
Applications From borrowers.
Investment Board to Place
Money in This Way.

Pleasing news to farmers of
Minnesota who have been wait
ing to receive loans through the
rural credit bureau, is the an
nouncement that the reorganized
department will be ready to re-
ceive applications for all needed
loans after July Is.
This information was given ia
the Minnesota Farm Bureau by
H. II. Flowers, secretary of the
rural credit department. I'VE
expect to take applications
for loans after the 18TH
said Mr.. Flowers, "and it will
be our aim so far as possible
to make every needed loan where
the borrower has ample real
estate security. These loans will
be made at 54%o and on "a year
terms.
The department will follow a
conservative policy in compliance
with the amen iments to the law
passed at the last legislative ses-
sion reducing the loan limits and
providing for check on apprais-
ais Mr.. Flowers stated.
The chief source of funds for
farm loans through our depart
ment will be state money turned
over TO us by the investment
board. We will pay the state
4t@c interest on these funds and
loan them to the farmers at SIG,
leaving a margin of 19c to cover
the operating expenses Of this
department. Due to the curtail-
ment of public building by school
districts. towns and villages. the
state has more than the usual
surplus for investment and the
rural credit loans form a conven-
ient and profitable outlet and al
20 obviate largely the necessity
for selling state bonds on the
market to secure funds for farm
Ioans," Mr.. Flowers explained

PINE COUNTY FAIR
DATES SEPT. IA, Is, IL

The Pine County Fair at Pine
City will be held September 18th,
18th and 18th. this year. These
dates are the week following the
State Fair and the local fair will
work in conjunction with the
Isanti County Fair again this
year. The Isanti fair will be the
last half of the week.
Secretary McEachern reports
that the star attraction on the en-.
tertainment program for this
year will be auto polo and auto
push ball. Those who have at.
tended the State Fair the past
few years have seen auto polo
played there in front of the
grandstand, as it is one of the
big features on their program.
Four automobiles are used when
playing auto push ball and it is
an extremely exciting and inter-
esting game.
The program in front of the
grandstand will also include other
big free acts, base ball games,
horse races and other numbers.
Present plans include a night
show at the fair this year, with
a special evening program and it
is possible ART ngements will be
made for dancing at the grounds.
The premiums this year have
been left just as they were last
year, and the same amounts will
be paid in the various depart
ments. The boys and girls club
department viii be given a prom
nent place in the exhibits and
liberal premiums will be offered
The boys and girls.
County Agent Hammargren is
n charge of the boys and girls
work and any one wishing infor-
nation about this department
'hould see him. A large tent
will be placed on the grounds,
which will be held for the Farm
Bureau gatherings and plans are
o have some big speakers here.
This tent will be the headquar-
,ers for all the various farm
'lubs and it will also include a
est room for the women and
'hildren.

BEING CONTINUED
Askov Business Men Will Show
Every "Wednesday Evening.
Stores Open.

A meeting Of Askov's business
men was held Saturday afternoon
when it was decided to go ahead
with the local free movie enter
tainments. As the Community
Amusement Association of Min
neapolis. has fallen down on the
job and stopped coming the bust
ness men decided to continue the
free movies and in cooperation
with Supt F. Clarey Nielsen, who
will use the schools machine, pic
lures will be shown outdoors
every Wednesday evening for the
remainder Of the season.
II was decided to make We'd
nesday evenings movie night
hereafter instead of Fridays and
the local business houses will
then keep open every Wednesday
evening until 8 o'clock. There
seems TO have been some demand
for keeping the stores open one
night a week outside Of Satur.
days and hence it was decided To
do this Wednesday evenings, thus
accommodating the public at the
same time they are presented the
free show.
The first free movie under en-.
tire local management was shown
last evening and in spite of the
short notice Is cars were parked
in front Of the screen.

Through he Static

Last night was pretty good even- Ing, except for the fact that many of the stations had bad attacks of the heaves. By which statement we mean that they fell prey to that particular brand Of fading which took the sta- tions in and out of range by fits and starts like small car of a popular make" going over series of bumps on Rockwell avenue. There was no extraordinary volume, although most of the broa adcasters came ill well. Our greatest distance of the evening was Fulford- By -The-Sea Florida.
 Our evenings operations began when we tuned in the Hotel Van Curler orchestra which was putting out particularly high grade oi dance music from WGY at 6:3C o'clock. Those dinner concerts are dignified, there's no doubt about that You won't hear any wise cracks made by an orchestra leader who is showing off before the microphone and neither does the announcer give way to the demands of any alleget humor. The programs are carried of in a sober manner and the orchestra Is allowed to put itself over on 1t! own merits.
 The saxophone section of tha l band is worthy of note. There arr several of these instruments placed at an advantageous position befor' the mike and they take away iron the orchestra that blare and rasl which Is so often identified with { dance program. Last night we heart the well known "Prisoner's Song,
