OrMdShin3tonL Letter

Washington. Sept. 2.-There is
undisputable evidence that men,
bers of Congress are more consid-
crate of the welfare of their con-
stituents. One of the most
valuable assets of legislators is
the art of letterwriting. either
personally or through efficient
secretaries. Though Congress is
not in session, many Congress-
men and Senator's make frequent
trips here to handle matters
which though relatively insignifi-
cant to outsiders, are of vital inn
portance to the reelection Of in
cumbents. Some boast of the
volume of their mail and regard
it as sign Of popularity.
It is singularly true that COM
munications from individuals re-
ceive better attention than inn
posing documents signed by hun
dreds in a particular district.
This is especially true if the let
tiers give the impression that
they are genuine and not a part
of an inspired propaganda. As
one Senator told the writer
today, the most assured method
of having mail consigned to the
deadly waste basket, or almost
ignored by the bromide reply,
careful consideration, is to have
sameness of text. A legislator
will heed more readily scrawled
missive which bears the impress
of genuine concern for certain
legislation than a carefully word.
ed resolution of opinion signed
by a considerable portion of the
voting population. A verbal re-
quest from a lone voter likewise
carries more weight than a
formal visit by an imposing dele

tics too often overlooked.

Federal Departments has been

MANY APPLICATIONS
FOR LOANS RECEIVED

That there was great need for

Credit bureau. is shown con.

plicants FOR loans which havs
been received by the department
since July Is.
Appraisals are now being made
of lands covered in these applica.
tons, according to Ole Sageng,
chairman of the bureau. and all
loans will be made where the
security comes up to the terms Of
the law as amended by the last
legislature.
Splendid results are showing

over a long period. Yet. the POI
litical scalping continues and the
old timers who considered their
positions as lifelong sinecures
are frankly worried. II seems
that President Coolidge has given
his lieutenants free hand in or
der to obtain the greatest eff
cheney and that spells doom for
many.
The situation in both houses of
Congress augurs well for prompt
action in the matter OF tax reduc-
ton. The entire country is in
accord in the opinion that Con-
gress should take action in ample
time for the new rates to be-
come effective before March Is,
when first payments Of the new
year are due. Democrats and
Republicans are anxious for tax
reduction. Party leaders are
agreed as to the principle upon
which reduction shall be made.
Possibly there may be a disagree
ment over the maximum surtax
rate. but this may be overcome
through the agency of party con-
ferences. Even among those who
opposed him most bitterly a year
or so ago the conviction is now
felt that Secretary Mellon was
right when he urged reduction
of taxes in the higher brackets to
a maximum of 20 per cent. Some
influential members of both par
|ties are now urging that this
maximum be reduced below the
previous recommendation Of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee is scheduled to meet in Wash
ineton early in October with a
view to putting its revenue mea.
sures into shape before the con-
vening of Congress. With no
limitation of time before it, the
House could at once undertake
the task of revenue revision,
send the bill to the Senate and
then proceed with the annual
supply measures. This will be

BARN BURNED IN
NORMAN TOWNSHIP

Tuesday night Chas. Sangren Of
Norman township lost his barn
by fire. In the building was 65
tons of hay. A large silo recently
filled and all of his harness were
consumed by the flames as was
also one car and some outbuild-
ings. The barn was large one,
30x80 IT,, with a lean-to. II is
very unfortunate for Mr.. San
gren as his winters feed is gone.
The origin of the fire is not
known. Alarm was sent to
neighbors over the phone but be-
fore aid arrived the FIRE had gain
ed such Roadway that it was inn
possible to put ii out. Through
strenuous efforts the granary
was saved. The barn was partly
covered by insurance.

DRY CORN SHOULD GO
INTO THE SILO NOW

Drought is seriously injuring
much of the corn crop. On light
soil corn is drying out badly and
has not cared well. The leaves
have yellowed and dried in many
fields and there will be loss of
forage if not harvested at once.
Such corn can best be saved and
fed by converting it into silage.
Corn that does not come into
ear does not make as rich silage
as if fully cared. 1t does make
very satisfactory feed, however,
for dairy cows if put up before
the leaves have shattered off.
Those having corn fields that are
drying up should I'll their silos
before the feed is wasted. In fill
ing with very green corn it is
best to wilt it in the bundles be-
fore running it through the
silage cutter. II, on the other
hand. corn is very dry. it should
be put in at once without wilt
ing. 1t may be necessary to run
water on it in order to make it
pack tightly in the silo and keep
well.
ON the heavier soils drought
has not yet caused much damage
and with favorable weather corn
may yet make a full crop.-An-
drew Boss. Minnesota Exper-
ment Station, University Farm.

Mr.. Grimsee and his companions
in making the daring voyage was
to prove conclusively that boats
of corresponding dimensions
could have crossed the Atlantic
during the Viking age. The
three seafarers are expected to
arrive in Minneapolis for visit
later in the month and elaborate
festivities are now being planned
for their stay there.
Controversy Settled.
Some time ago a lively con-
troversy ensued in the Norwe-
gian-American press as to wheth-
er Norwegian or Morse" was
the proper adjective to use in de-
scribing natives of Norway. Fl
nally, the matter was left with
the Norwegian legation at Wash
ington (since it had been sug-
gested that it be renamed the
Morse legation), which asked the
University of Oslo for an opinion.
The philologists in Norway have
replied that Norwegian" still is
to be preferred to Morse" be-
cause it is a more specific word
than the latter.
Composer Passes Away.
Emil Larson, widely known in
Swedish Chicago circles, died
last week at the age of SO years.
For years he was an instructor of
music at North Park College near
Chicago, and also director of the
Wennerberg male chorus. the
Handel Oratorio society and the
Svea Male chorus of Moline, Ill.
Mr.. Larson who was native of
Shame, Sweden, was the compo-
ser Of a large number of concer-
tos and melodies for songs, and
enjoyed a rather extensive repu-
tation among his compatriots.
Inviting Denmark.
Asher Carter Baker, general
European commissioner for the
sesquicentennial Worlds Fair to
be held at Philadelphia next
year. arrived in Copenhagen last
week and is now negotiating with
state and municipal authorities
as well as with industrial con-
Germs about Denmark's represen-
tation at the exhibition. II is
expected that a special Denmark
building, costing $4,000 or more,
will be erected. Mr.. Baker made
the suggestion that a Danish day
be arranged on the birthday of
King Christian, and he said that
he was particularly DESTROYS Of
securing an adequate representa-
tion of Danish art and industry.

Peter Paulsen Wolden died at
West Paint Creek, Iowa, the 9TH

born at Torpen, Nordre Land,
Norway, and immigrated to the
United States in 1852, settling
first in Wisconsin; three years
later he came to Iowa. where he
made his home ever since. Mr..
Wolden was very active in the
affairs of his community until
old age dimmed his interest in
such developments.
