These persons have also been supplied
with the 1927 rate books, so that an

of these places and find out how much

registration card or proper bill of
sale, in case of new car, all he has
to do is to fill out the application
blank and send it in with the old
card and check or money order for
the right amount.
Mr.. Holm says that during the first
part OF January he expects to be able
to send out plates the same day ap-
plications come in, provided they are
accompanied by money orders or
drafts. In case of personal checks.
plates are held a few days until the
checks are cleared through the banks.
Those who wait until February may
have to wait two or three weeks or
possibly more before they get their
plates. The time for paying the tax
without penalty expires February Is,

steers.
Hogs sold mostly Csc lower, putting
the bulk of the butchers and lights
at S1150 with a few loads on late

MINNESOTAN WRITES
NEW OPERA "WINONA'

Numerous favorable reviews of the
opera "Winona," recently given its
premiere at Portland, Ore, appear in
current issues of leading musical
magazines. Perry S. Williams, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce association,
wrote the libretto for the opera and
the music was composed by Alberto
Bimboni.
The theme is built on Indian legend
and has its locale in the Northwest,
largely in Minnesota.
The Musical Courier says: Truly
the performance was triumph for
Mr.. Bimboni, who came here from
New York to conduct the opera The
huge audience was exceedingly en-
thusiastic and the local press was
unanimous in its praise of 'Winona,
which was presented by the American
Grand Opera company of Portland
Much praise is due the chorus and
the ballet. Perry S. Williams of
Minneapolis, author of the libretto
was in the audience" -...
Another paper tells of the origin
of "Winona" as follows: Perry S.
Williams, Minneapolis newspaper
man, heard the story, dreamed and
mulled over it as he typed his daily
stint, embroidered it, made libretto
of it. 1t was more than a dozen
years ago that he finished it and sent
it to Tenor Ricardo Martin of the
Chicago opera, more than dozen
years ago that Tenor Martin passed
it on to Composer Alberto Bimboni
little man, to write the score"
MIR. Williams has received from his
publishers the first copies of two
songs for which he wrote the words
and Thurlow Lieurance the music
They are Purple Pines" and Nee.
nah, Spirit Maiden" The latter is
built around an Indian legend OF
Lake Mile Laos and tells of an Indian
youth who drifted each night on the
lake in his canoe, sang to his dead
sweetheart and played to her on his
flute. One night he saw his sweet.
hearts image mirrored in the placid
surface of the lake, and, reaching
over the side of his canoe to clasp
her in his arms, went to his own
death. The legend goes that Spirit
island, in the center of the lake. rose
as a monument to the undying love
of these two.

legislation relief at this session may
force a widespread discussion on the
Government and big business" Re-
ports have it that the Administration
is cognizant of the situation, and has
the Department of Justice engaged in
intensive study of combines in indus
try, etc.
The patronage issue, especially the
case of Cyrus Woods, former diplo-
mat, appointed by the President to
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
has brought with it an issue which
Senate leaders believed for a time
could be postponed until the next ses-
sion, that is, an open debate on Penn
sylvania primary expenditures. Mr..
Woods halls from Pennsylvania and
has been active in political affairs.
His confirmation to Federal post
is opposed and the controversy has
opened the primary expenditures is
sue somewhat prematurely. Nova
days an appointee to high Federal
Post has to pass an acid test.
Though the question of reapportion-
ment is being agitated in the East
and far West, little encouragement is
given to the proposal to change rep
resentation based on population in
Congress. Statistics show that many
localities have more legislators than
their population warrant, while the
faster growing communities like Cal
ifornia, New York, Michigan, Illinois
and Iowa are at a disadvantage.
Proposal is made in certain quarters
to delay reapportionment until after
the 1880 census is completed. The
complaint against unfair representa-
ton is growing, and Congress will
undoubtedly discuss the problem next
year.
Few people realize the tremendous
growth of population in this country.
For instance, the latest report of the
Census Bureau submitted to Congress
last mof1th shows that 'in continental
United States, approximately 2,700,0 1000
births and 100000 deaths occur an
nually, producing an annual increase
in the population of 100000. To
this must be added the net increase
resulting from immigration and en-
igration. On July 1, 1925, the pop
ulation of the United States as thus
estimated was 117,136,000." Pro-
posals has been made by Government
officials to take census every five
years.
There are one or two measures
pending in Congress concerning a
National divorce law. The question
of divorce has been revived of late,
| and the Census Bureau has presented
some interesting figures based upon
| a study completed last June. On the
basis of reports from 80 per cent of
the country the number of marriages
| so far reported shows a slight de-
crease as compared with the number
reported from the same States and
| countries for 1924, but the number OF
| divorces shows an increase of not
quite 3 per cent, or about twice the
percentage of increase in the general
population Of the United States" On
June 80 the available reports showed
for 1925 916,361 marriages and 1884,
SAG divorces, as compared with total
of 1,17S,31S marriages and 170,952 di-
| vorces reported for the year 1924
Romance still lives despite these dis
couraging figures.
