Motorists Free Bath

Motorists driving along West

ed to not altogether unwel-
come shower bath in the form
of a garden hose welded by a
sturdy youngster about five
years old. The boy stood on
the edge of his lawn and waved
the nozzle nonchalantly about,
but always in the general direc-

not be turned from his game
when automobiles went by. the
result being a haphazard wash

braced and kissed him.
On another occasion Mrs. Taylor
is alleged TO have called Grange on

urday, Nov. 90 promises to be one of
the, best exhibits of home project

Washington, Nov 17.-If you be-
lieve everything you hear in Con-
gressional and political scircles, they
will tell you that the crying need in
Washington today is strong party
leadership. Some profess to note the
pendulum swinging from factional
control to centered and responsible
leadership. So numerous and vary
ing are the opinions advanced by
members of Congress and political
observers here that it is difficult to
forecast what the next session of Con-
gress will bring forth.
1t is said that the forced retire
ment of Senator Butler of Massachus-
sets by the electorate leaves Presi-
dent Coolidge without personal
spokesman in the Senate. The reg
ular Republican organization faTors
the bestowal of authority upon Sena-
tor Curtis of Kansas as the leader of
the majority. He is recognized as
one of the old warehouses" of the
upper chamber and has given long
and faithful service as a Republican
whip. 1t is currently reported that
there are other aspirants, for this
high honor which must be settled by
the Republican caucus.
The caucus is conference of all
Senators or Congressman as the case
may be, to determine the general pol
icies of their party for the coming
session. The course. of important
Legislation, however, is chartered by
the Steering Committee consisting of
five organization Senators who handle
the business of the Senate. In re-
cent years the growth of the bloc
system has clipped this power of party
leaders.
A few years ago it was customary
for Uncle Joe Cannon, then tn
speaker of the House and Senator Al
drich, Republican leader in the Sen
ate. to take hikes along the Potomac
and in an hour or two shape the
course of legislation. The day of
the czars of legislation are past.

TWO MOONSHINERS
GET SENTENCE, FINE
Axel J. larson, Barry Township,
and Nick Kanis, Sandstone Vii
lage, Found Guilty of Handling
Illicit Brew-Other Court Pro-
ceedings.

District Court continued to mete
out justice at Pine City during all of
last week and part of this week.
One case tried Monday, of consider
able interest, was State versus Axel
j. Larson. Larson, who lives north
east of Hinckley, in Barry township,
was accused of making moonshine.
Several exhibits were introduced, in
Guiding bottles and a large five gal
lon copper still with coils, faucets.
and cooling device. The case went
to the jury at eleven o'clock in the
morning Monday, and they deliberated
fer % hours, returning verdict of
guilty. Judge Alfred P. Stolberg
sentenced Larson to rs days in the
Washington county Jail and in ad-
dition gave him a fine of $175. In
default of fine payment there will be
60 days more in Jail. Albert Johnson
of Sandstone, was attorney for the
state and Michael B. Hurley acted
for the defendant.
Another criminal case, which was
also a liquor case, came before the
court, This was the trial of Nick
Kanis of Sandstone, which began on
Tuesday forenoon and lasted until
4:30 in the afternoons when it was
given to the jury. Mr.. Kanis and
Mrs. Kanis were both on the stand
and testified that they had not sold
moonshine. In the course of his
testimony, Kanis admitted that he
had some in his possession, and that
he had given drink to one Mr.. Ny
berg on the date in question. Mar
shall Percy of Sandstone, was also on
the stand for the state. Another wit
ness to testify in this case was Mr.
Paulson of Sandstone. He testified
that on May % he was in the kitchen
at the Kanis home and that he saw
Kanis give fruit jar containing
moonshine to Mr.. Nyberg and that the
latter poured the contents of the jar
into a bottle, afterwards giving Kanis
two dollars, and receiving some
change that was placed on the table.

hours on this case. the jury returned

FARMER INJURED BY
TRAIN AT Pine CITY
Walter Kryzer, From Near Ber-

Struck by Passenger.-POultry
Show at Pine City, Dec. 6, z and
S.-Basket Ball at Braham,
Nov. "a.

While crossing the Northern Pacific
railroad tracks south of the Pine City
depot with a load of wheat last Fri
day noon, Walter Kryzer, from Ber-
oun, was seriously injured when his
wagon was struck by the north bound
passenger train. Kryzer had APP
preached the crossing from the west
train, waited until the freight had
passed. As the caboose of the freight
passed over the crossing, he drove his
team onto the tracks, failing to notice
the passenger approaching from the
south. The engine struck the wagon,
scattering the wheat for several rods
along the track, killing one horse and
throwing Kryzer to the ground. One
leg was broken in two places and he
sustained several bodily injuries. He
was taken on the south bound noon
passenger train to the Northern Pa
cific hospital in st. Paul, and was i'm
proving from the last reports.
The Pine County Poultry Show, un-

again have charge of the show this
year, and he desires a representative
display of poultry from all parts of
the county. The larger the number
Of entries, the larger the prizes that
will be given as the association plans

shows are very instructive and inter-
esting for poultry raisers and Mr..
Appelby wishes to assure everyone
that birds will be carefully fed and
cared for while at the show.
A lecture on the life and work of
j. j. Hill was given at the M. E.
church Wednesday evening last week
by Miss Bohrer, head of. the Normal
Department of the Pine City high
school. Miss Bohrer has made an
extensive study of the subject and
presented it in a very interesting
manner, giving frequent bits of his
tory of local interest. Besides the
| lecture, Mrs. T. B. Clark gave three
excellent violin solos, and a vocal
duet was given by Lorille Boyle and
Frank Gottry. The proceeds from the
lecture will be applied toward the
building fund of the church.
The Pine City high school basket
ball team will open the season next
Wednesday evening, Nov. "a, when
| they meet the Braham team on the
| latter's floor. Braham now has an
excellent gymnasium in their new
school which is probably one of the
most modern buildings of it's kind in
the state. The Braham team has
| been coming to the front in recent
years and are expected to give Pine
| City hard contest in their first
game. A number of fans from Pine
City will make the trip to Braham.

There are rumors in official circles
in Washington to the effect that Pres
ident Coolidge and Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon are at odds over
the latest proposition to reduce taxes.
The President has suggested that in
come taxes, individual and corpora
ton, payable in 1926, might be cut 10
or IL per cent. Comments from the
leaders of both parties at the Capitol
indicate quite strongly that tax re-
duetion will be the football of politics
during the next IS months, especially
in view of the approaching presiden-
tial election. 1t is represented that
the tax ON corporations is bothersome
to the President as the last tax law
reduced the capital stock tax but in
creased the corporation income tax,
which it is claimed affects 100000
security holders. Fiscal experts have
estimated that the proposed tax credit
on individual income, affecting ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the tax
payers, would amount to only a few
cents or a few dollars. Although
the Treasury has not boosted the
Coolidge proposition, it is expected
that officials will fall into line and
advocate the applying of a 10 per cent
discount on income taxes paid in 1926
to sne March 1927 installment, or per,
haps distribution over other install.
ments in 1927. 1t is doubtful that
any tax reduction or rebate bill can
be passed by Congress between De-
cember 6, the date of converting and
December Is, when the final 1926 tax
installment is due. Therefore, if the
reduction or credit plan is approved
it will necessarily apply next year
