USUAL GOOD SPIRIT

E. T. Hogan of Belden, better
known as plain Tom Hogan, and
sometimes called the lumber-jack
banker, renewed his subscription
to the American last week. With
it he sent a note reading as fol-
lows: Its a holdup to ask
man to pay $3.50 per year for
your anger, but | suppose we
have to stand it. Send it for
two years" Tom can say most
anything and get away with it.
In the envelope was of course
also something else that makes
the newspaperman smile-a
check for three dollars which
paid up his subscription to April
1, 1923. The address on the en-
velope read, as follows: American

CAT FOR RAZOR

A bashful boy sent the follow
ing question to a newspaper to
be answered: ! am boy II years
old and my face is getting fuzzy,
but | am ashamed to use my
fathers razor as my people would
tease me and say | was in love
or something. Could you tell me
how to get rid of that yellowish
fuzz as it looks bad. Bonnie R.
Following is the reply the boy
got: Try this first: Take some
cream and the family cat into the
barn, plaster the cream on your
face and hold the cat in a posi-
ton where it can lick it off, and
| think the fuzz will come with
it. AT any rate this is the way
/ shaved when my fuzz whiskers
first appeared. However, if this
does not result satisfactorily, buy
a cheap safety razor and use
either soft soap or axle grease
for lather.

Our WASHINGTON Letter
8y " PDaley

Washington, April 6.-With
the members of the Senate and
House pressing hard for an early
adjournment, the situation in
Washington may be likened to
the closing of school. Everybody
is trying to get away for the
summer and fall but Selling
every possible advantage to in
crease their political standing
with the home folks. Senate
leaders are hoping to complete
their program by May Is, and
the House is now in a position
to wind up it's affairs on short
notice.
The word has been passed to
discourage new legislation at this
time. Nobody who introduces
any measure from now until the
House adjourns risks the censure
of his associates in Congress, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations.
Incidentally, the congestion on
the Senate and House calendars
is bringing about considerable
amount of trading. The basic
idea of these trades is to have
the legislators consult the var
ious leaders and support legisla-
ton which he has hitherto op-
posed in exchange for assistance
in promoting bills in which their
community or friends are par
ticularly interested.
Two of the most powerful
groups in the Senate and House
today are the steering Commit
tees, composed of the members
of the majority party and Sc
lected by the Committees on
Committees which by the way, is
named as an outcome of the or
ganized caucus of the majority.
They differ somewhat from the
Committee on Rules which has a
bipartisan membership.
1t is the duty of the steering
committee to take a hand in the
legislative situation in order that
pending measures. considered of
real consequence to the party in
power can find a place at the top
of the calendar. For instance,
the Republican steering commit
tee has decided that when the
Italian debate is out of the way
in the Senate the public build
ings bill will be next in order of
Importance. The other measures
listed for consideration by the
Senate leaders include a bill to
provide for the prompt disposal
of disputes between railroads and
employees: another to amend the
national banking law, known as
the McFadden bill; and finally a
measure to increase the efficiency
of the Air Service of the Army.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-04-08

In the House, Speaker Long
worth and his associates among
| the majority leaders have sched-
uled the passage of a 5000, 900
bill for development of public
highways; an increase in the pen
Isions for Spanish War Veterans;
La bill authorizing a fve-year
building program for the Army
and Navy Air Services; increased
appropriations for the Veterans
Bureau and farm relief legisla-
ton. The last proposed is of
great Importance to members of
the House coming from agricul-
tural districts. Hearings are now
Iunder way in the House dealing
with agricultural subjects but it
is doubtful if anything of great
value will come from these in
quiries.
The public buildings bill has
already passed the House. 1t
Iprovides for an expenditure of
tS165, 100000 over a period of five
Years. Of this amount some
IS50,0O0,0O0 will be expended in
THE District of Columbia for Gov
Eernment buildings. The balance
lis confined to practically six
states for post office buildings.
Those opposed to this measure
have classified it as a pork bar
rel bill which would give the
Postmaster General the whip
Ihand over certain congressional
Igroups. The theory is that in
Exchange for approving the cree
Ition of certain buildings the POST
master General could request the
Support of the senators and con-
lgressmen from that locality in
promoting legislation in which
his department is interested.
AS several states will hold
their primaries before the Con-
gress declares a recess, leaders of
all parties are watching. develop
ments in these particular dis
tricts. The first test on the
World Court issue will come in
Illinois and administration lead
ers are banking heavily upon the
outcome so that the matter may
be sidetracked in the majority of
primaries.
The Democrats feel that their
chance of controlling the Senate
has been increased by recent de-
velopments but of course Repub-
lican leaders challenge this opin-
ion. 1t is obvious that the Dem
ocrats are going to concentrate
their fire on the senatorial bat
ties although they will make a
strong fight for increases in mem
bership in the House.

FROM DENTISTRY TO
POULTRY BUSINESS
Mrs. Arthur HalvOrsOn, Sand
stone, Changes to That She
Likes Best.-Is Successful.

AAOo ASOoSs
In six years time Mrs. Arthur
Halvorson of Sandstone, formerly
practicing dentistry in that vii
lage, has with the aid of her
husband who has been employed
in the cooperative store there
most of that time, built up a
good poultry business under the
firm name of Halvorson's SAM
tary Poultry Ranch. After
marrying seven years ago Mrs.
Halvorson gave up dentistry and
being interested in chickens
started in that business in a
small way, going ahead steadily
and by degrees, paying for mis-
takes and experience. In the
coolest months of the past winter
and when prices naturally are at
the peak, they shipped five cases
of eggs of thirty dozen each to
Duluth weekly, getting five cents
over the market price charged by
the wholesalers.
They also dress and ship a
great deal of poultry. The bust
ness has developed to a point
where it requires all of Mr.. Hal
vorson's time also and he has not
worked in the store the last four
months.
A write-up of Mrs. Halvorson
going from dentistry to the poul-
try business, written by ]. A. WYE
of Sandstone, appeared recently
in The Farmers Wife" Part

Halvorson reads as follows:
