Whispering Serenaders at Union
Hall

Augusta dance lovers-and that
means about everyone-are going to
have the opportunity Thursday night
at Union hall of hearing Earle How
ards Whispering Serenaders. Right
from New York, where they have
been the sensation of the night clubs,
the Serenaders promise to give those
who attend something entirely diff
ferent in the way of music. 1t would
seem as if the capacity Of Union
hall would be taxed Thursday night.

LEWIS LIKES OUR LAKES

Sinclair Lewis, author of "Main
Street" and "Babbit" and other best
sellers will spend his entire summer
writing in the deep pines and along
side the cooling waters of Breezy
Point Lodge on Big Pelican lake,
where he has rented a quiet cottage
from Captain William H. Fawcett.
Whenever he wants more of a
touch of the outdoors he will operate
his trusty typewriter in the shadows
of tent in the woods near by on the
same large estate. AS to writing his
next novel all about preachers, Its
a myth" said Mr.. Lewis. He had
no idea how that originated unless be-
cause he had travelled with a preach
er, and the latter, by the way, was
of the sturdy kind, having been ma
tional chaplain of the American Lee
gion.
sMantrap," which ran as serial
in Golfers is now out in book form
and has also been picturized.

the picture houses to see how they
have treated my story" commented
Mr.. Lewis reminiscently as he sat on
the counter of a Brainerd store yes
terday, figuring the size of cot ne
was to install in his tent.
His checks are ruddy and glowing
with health and match well the thatcn
of his red shock. A Hawaiian chauf,
feur drove Lewis big Buick. And
the chauffeur by the way speaks little
English beyond eyes and mo:
."Oh, I've been in this country before
and know these lakes" Mr.. Lewis
said with a smile. "And I know the
newspaper game and the troubles OF
a country editor trying to fill his pa
per with news" he said.
Brainerd and the entire lake re-
gion are glad to welcome Mr.. Lewis.
We hope he finds inspiration a-plenty
in our woods, lakes, fields, broad high
ways, our ozone and the hundred and
one other things which distinguish
our lake country from other sections.
And maybe some wandering
phrase, some deft touch in writing,
will reflect these natural glories OF
our section and permanently enshrlne
in real literature their Incompatible
beauties. ;,

Washington June 9-One OF the

official circles, is what is commonly
known as the calendar" This pub.
location contains a printed list OF
bills. orders, and resolutions which
are to be taken up consecutively, I'M
less otherwise provided by resolutions
or by action of the Senate and House
in any particular instance.
Inasmuch as the major committees
have ceased to function for the pres
ent session, the members of the most
powerful committee of all, the Steer
ing Committee, representing the ma
iority party, finds itself hard pressed
from all quarters. Some are demand
ing that it curtail the legislative pro
gram for the earliest possible adj
iournment, which others are demand
ing extension of time in an effort to
obtain consideration of their bills.
Complaint has been made at various
times that these Steering Commit
tees, in both the House and Senate,
have an autocratic power, but on
the other hand their existence is US
ually justified by the need for smooth
working legislative machinery.
The calendar is really a tentative
plan of business. At present in the
Senate farm legislation has the right
of way with the French debt settle
ment next in line for consideration
The House has already approved the
debt funding arrangement by an i'm
nressive vote. The Senate, which US
ually considers itself better qualified
to handle foreign affairs, is awaiting
the disposition of the debt terms by
the French Government. 1t is ex-
pected that the Senate will manifest
its will on farm legislative plans this
week in order to accommodate Senat-
ors who believed it necessary from
a political standpoint, to join in the
debate on agricultural issues. Night
sessions have been held and members
of the Senate have passed up social
engagements TO attend to official bus.

HIGHWAY NO. 4 IMPROVED

State Highway No. A between Sank
Centre and Long Prairie, has in
many placed received rather scant
attention, pending the final decision
as to the permanent location of this
highway. One particularly bad
stretch has been the two mile strip
just north of the Stearns County
line, in Todd county. Last spring
this was so bad that detours were
necessary. A number of the local
farmers using this road had petit
ton prepared which was freely
signed. This petition was turned
over to the Good Roads Committee of
the Sank Centre Community Club,
together with resolution passed by
the Club, requesting State Highway
Commissioner Babcock to make such
temporary repairs as would put this
stretch of road in better conditi on
The petition, together with resolu-
tions from the Club, were presented

and these combined efforts resulted
in considerable improvement in this
stretch, so that it is now a good road
and probably will not bother during
the wet season. A year ago an ct
tempt was made to get this road re-
paired, but apparently it required the
cooperation between the residents and
the Sank Centre Community Club,
before the State Highway Depart
ment gave the matter sufficient con-
sideration. 1t is such cooperation
which produces results.-Contributed.
