WHY HUSBANDS LEAVE
HOME

Capper's Weekly: BrowE was
patiently waiting for his wife
who was dressing for the opera
She had a new gown.
"Umph, oof, WIFI he heard
her say with a twisting of her
neck, her mouth full of hairpins
Eyes, dear, l think it looks
nifty" he assured her.
Ruff, sugg, oof, glugg,' she
continued very much agitated.
We'll, you may be right >dear

Then out came the hairpins
Say, I've asked you twice to pull
down those blinds, you boob
What's the matter with you any

FARM ORGANIZATIONS
BACK DICKINSON BILL
Recent Des Moines Conference
Unifies Agricultural Thought
and SOlidifies Demand for Lee
gislative Relief.

Opponents of effective farm
relief legislation by Congress
were robbed of their pet alibi
that agriculture is not united"
by the conference held recently
at Des MONIES.
This conference which was
called by the governor of Iowa
and joined in by IL midwest
states, including Minnesota,
brought together leaders of all
the farm organizations of the
middle west and resulted in a
united agreement to back the
Dickinson bill and to join forces
for it's enactment at the present
session of Congress.
Minnesota was officially repre-
sented by Commissioner Holm
berg and Dean Coffey who were
appointcl by Gov. Christensen,
Pres. J. +. Reed and Thos. E.
eastman representing the Farm
Bureau, F. w. Murphy of the
Council of Agriculture, James
Manahan and George C. Lambert
of the Equity Exchange, C. G..
Selvig of the Northwest School
of Agriculture, and several other
leaders representing different
farm interests.
The Dickinson bill, Endorsed by
the conference, provides for the
creation of a farm advisory coun-
Gil of five members from each of
the IL federal land bank districts,
this council to submit to the Pres
ident names of Is individuals,
six of whom are to be appointed
to form the Federal Farm Com
mission. Each member of this
commission is to have special
qualifications in the production
and marketing of some dominant
farm commodity. The conference
recommended that the bill be
amended to provide for IL, in
stead of six members of the
commission.
This commission is to be autho-
rized when it finds surplus
above domestic requirements for
a farm commodity, and when the

Always Conqueror
Over Papke

Sometimes a defeat will drive
a man out of the ring. One not
knowing Ketchel would have
said that "Steve" wouldn't have
come back after Papke stopped
him and won Ketchel's title.
Papke was lucky to win that
fight. He never could whip
Ketchel the best day he ever
saw.
In this particular bout he
caught Ketchel between the
eyes, closed both of them as
tight as q drum and finally
pushed Ketchel over when he
had him helpless. They met
again and Papk was easy. 1t
took Ketehel twelve rounds to
get him, but William, was leg
