By " PDaley


Washington, April 8.-If it
were our privilege to read the
official mail of the President of
the United States we would UNI
doubtedly realize the need of a
sense of humor. Those who know
Mr.. Coolidge intimately vouch for
the fact that he does possess this
essential qualification. Consider
ing the history of the last Con-
gress the correspondence which
reaches the White House provides
rich soil for laughter if the Pres
ident is so inclined.
For instance, the terms of 80
senators will expire March 4,
1927. This figure includes Is
Republicans and seven Demo-
Gratis. Already there are many
men in public life ambitious for
these posts. The principal con-
tenders are now members of the
House of Representatives who de-
sire elevation to the Senate.
A Senator of the United States
is not elected overnight. Hence,
a considerable amount of prelim-
mary organization work is nee
essary. We now find congress
men canvassing the local political
leaders and writing the Presi-
dent. In instances where certain
Republican senators have voted
against the wishes of the Admin
istration the President finds him.

SENATE STAMPS
IT'S APPROVAL
Bill for Sub Experiment
Farm, Askov, Now
Before House.
NUMBER 80,

The bill for an act establishing
at or near Askov, a sub expert
ment and demonstration farm, as
a dependent of the University
of Minnesota passed the Senate
Monday and is now before the
House. In the Senate it received
very favorable attention, the vote
being 80 for and only l against,
due in a large measure to the
good work of Senator A. S. Lar
son who is pushing the bill hard
Representative Jos. E. Therrien
is also putting his shoulder be-
hind the wheel for the bill in the
House.
If the bill is passed which is
earnestly desired by folks in this
section, it will mean much to
Pine county as we'll as adjacent
counties. A place to where farm
ers can send their sons and per-
haps also their daughters to get
practical experience along with
the theoretical, and yet not far
from home, is something from
which much good will derive UNI
der good and efficient manage
ment. 1t will create more inter-
cts in agriculture and the home
and will help through knowledge
of ones work to bring about that
most essential and necessary re-
quisite: love and pride in ones
task" 1t is very likely also that
parents will have the opportunity
to derive direct benefit from an
institution of this kind in their
midst. The exact details of all
it's proposed plans is not known
to the American yet.
L. G.. Petersen, former member
of the Legislature, has been in
terested in a project of this kind
for a number of years and is
spending no little time and eff
fort in working with the Legisla-
ture for it's passage. He, together
with other local men, A. P. Jen--
sen, Fred Degerstrom and Louis
Olsen recently made a trip to,
the Capitol in the interest of the
bill.
The wording of the bill as pas
sed by the Senate Monday is as
follows:
Section 1. That there shall be es-
tablished by the Board of Regents of
the University of Minnesota, at or
near the Village of Askov, in the
County of Pine, State of Minnesota,
sub-experiment and demonstration
farm, to be under the direction of the
Board of Regents of the University
of Minnesota, and under such name
and designation as the Board of Re-
gents may determine, wherein shall
be taught by practical demonstration.

subjects relating to farm life and

gents may from time to time recon-

knew him we'll, and who, it is, said,. de-
cided to give him up to the authori-
ties because of his abandonment Of his
family. az
There was some doubt as to Whites
identity when he was first arrested,
due to the fact that the printed pho

was because he had allowed a weeks
growth of beard to disguise him to a
certain extent. ,%a', '..+
White, so it is alleged, decided to re-
tain something like six hundred. dol

had been collected. He therefore a
