1t was late the next afternoon
that Honey Lou met Jack Wallaclz.
She met him properly, as a ni:e
girl should meet man.
Grumpy" himself introduced
him to Honey Lou in the big pr.
vate office just above the shipping
room at the Mills.
my son, Jack. Miss Huntley,"
he said in his gruff off-nand way
when Honey Lou walked into his
office with a pile of order slips in
her hand.
Honey Lou was facing tire light
from the west windows. and it was
a couple OF seconds before she
could see who 1t was that stood
beside the Old Mans desk,
There her heart seemed to come
up into her throat. It was the

He was waiting for her again
when she left the building that
night.
Even before she started dowr
the stairs that led to the dark
courtyard, something told her that
he would be there. waiting for her.
He came toward her, through
the purple winter dusk, as she
stepped out into the yard with its
bales and its rumbling trucks and
its piled packing cases. {

uncovered, and even in the dim

in his eyes under the blond hair
that swept back from a fine wide
forehead.

trembled. "It isn't raining" she
said. But she got into the car.

? Honey Lou was born. She had
sold her rings and her bracelets,
and all her furniture, stick by
stick, as the years went by.
There was only enough Of it
left to furnish the little flat
where they lived now. But what
was left was beautiful-old brown
mahogany. polished by time and
use-old silver with q crest on
it. The crest Of the Huntley
family.
The crest meant nothing to
Honey Lou. She lived not for
the past-but for the glorious
present. For today! Today was
what counted!
She could not share her
mothers sorrow because she was
working girl, either. She glo-
ried in her job with Old Man
Wallack-or Grumpy" as she
called him.

With q high heart she pressed
and mended her last years
clothes and retrimmed her last
years hat. She thought that the
princess slips that Mrs. Huntley
made from handkerchief linen
were the lovliest slips that eyer
were-and did not sigh for silk.
To- her the $500 that she and
Margret brought into the home
every month were riches.
Margret earned more than
Honey Lou did. She made $50
a week as bookkeeper at Holy
Cross Hospital, and Honey Lou
thought that she was wonder.
It was at Holy Cross that Mar
greet had struck up a friendship
with young Stephen Mayhem,
who was finishing his medical
training there.

Why, Stephen treated her as IL

to go along, when he and Margaret
were going out to the movies. But
beyond that he barely noticed her.

1t was while she and Margret
were putting the supper on the
dining room table that she told her
about the man who had offered her
about the man who had offered to
drive her home that night.

Reed committee 1t would also pro-
ject the issue into the expiring Cong
ress, whereas it logically belongs to
the Seventeen or incoming session.
The controversy over Ware of Penn
sylvania and Smith of Illinois would
overshadow important legislation at
the short session. According to the
story current in Washington, politi-
cal leaders are hoping that public
resentment against enormous expen-
ditures for primaries will be short
lived and when the time comes for
Senators-elect to present their Gre
dentials, the issue will be forgotten
by the voting public.
The average citizen pays little heed
to the note writing activities of the
Department of State in international
affairs. The latest developments in
diplomatic exchanges between this
country and the Mexican government
are approaching an end and a crisis
is expected shortly. From confiden-
tial sources and from public docu-
ments it is learned that the American
government is thoroughly alarmed at
the growth of anti-American senti-
ment in Mexico which is attributed
in many quarters to communistic or
soviet influences in the neighboring
republic. There is no secret of the
fact that diplomatic rupture with
Mexico is probable. 1t is said that
the withdraw of recognition by this
government would mean the imme-
aiate downfall of the present admin
istration in Mexico and undoubtedly
a revolution of far-reaching conse-
quence would be the result.
Next in Importance to the Presi-
dents annual message to Congress is
the list of appointments to vacancies
in high office here. Senators and
Congressman are making pilgrimages
to the White House daily to advocate
the selection of their candidate for
these berths. Inasmuch as a major
ity of these appointees must be con-
fif1ied by the Senate Representatives
of the administration are Obliged to
sound out the known political enemies
of the proposed candidates and ascer-
tain the chances of confirmation by
the Senate. Frequently, presiden-
tial scouts are misinformed and the
Senate rejects his favorites for pub
lie office. The names are forwarded
to the Senate by special messengers
from the White House and the solons
openly reading the list at the Secre-
tary of the Senate's desk. A long
list is expected next week.

the pavement was turned into a glare
of ice and became very dangerous
for motorists. AS a result quite a
number of cars were reported in the
ditch and Clifford Dutton of Sand
stone, narrowly escaped serious in
jury when the car he was driving
slid off the pavement about 4 miles
south of town, and turned over. Pas
sing motorists took him to town and
it was found that he had received
a fracture of the shoulder blade and
painful cuts about the face and body.
The car was very badly damaged.
The Sandstone Dramatic Club will
present their play, Seven Keys to
Baldpate" at the new Opera House
Tuesday, Dec. 7th. This play is to
be given for the benefit of the public
library.
1t has been nothing unusual to see
cars going south during the past ten
days, with the success of the hunters
displayed in some conspicuous man
ner on the car. AS the result some
proud hunter lost his deer about three
miles south of Sandstone and it was
seen to be picked up by car going
in the same direction. If the owner
did not recover it he will have some
time explaining to his friends that
he shot deer and lost it.

Our WdsllinQton Letter
3y " ODaley
80 Glsss2ssi- aa0sAl tDnOsr, ASSOCIATIONS s'teal

Washington, Dec. 1.-The spectre of
a filibuster is haunting members of
the Sixty-ninth Congress. Reports
coming to the leaders of the Senate
and House give adequate cause for
uneasiness. The leaders have sever
al knotty problems to unravel within
the next few days and they make no
secret of their concern. The special
session threat made by certain So
called insurgent Republicans and the
Democratic group, carries consider
able weight. No doubt their policies
will be determined after the vacan-
cies in committees are filled Deem
Der 6, for it is obvious that many OF
the insurgents expect to do little
political trading with administration
leaders. While predictions favor a
special session on March 4, it hardly
seems probable that the political sit
uation will get out of hand until af-
ter the holiday recess.
A >filibuster is nothing more than
time consuming debates or dilatory
tactics intended to obstruct the enact
ment of essential legislation. For
instance, it is necessary that appre-
priation bills carrying authorization
for the expenditure of hundreds OF
millions of dollars for the mainten-
ance of the Federal Department must
be passed before the end of the fiscal
year June 80. 1t is customary to
enact these fiscal measures before the
Congress automatically expires on
March 4, and it is usually cleaned up
on the legislative calendar by Feb
ruary.
Factions and individual legislators
failing to gain their objectives by
other means resort to filibustering for
the purpose of political trading and
compromise or to insure the defeat
of legislation to which they are
opposed. Closure rule has shipped
many filibusters in the bud, but clo-
sure is a parliamentary weapon diff
cult to obtain, especially when the
margin of control is as close as now
reported in the Senate today.
The report that Senator Mckinley
of Illinois is at the point of death
makes the filibustering problem acute.
Under ordinary circumstances the
governor of Illinois would be expected
to name Senator-elect Smith to sue
coed to the unexpired term of Senator
Mckinley. However, it is generally
agreed that such an appointment
would precipitate an indefinite de-
bate and force the present Senate to
act upon the primary expenditures
scandals developed by the special

HIGHEST PRODUCING
HERD is AT ASKOV

Petersen brothers north of Askov,
had the highest producing herd of
dairy cattle in the Minnesota Cow
Testing Assn for the month of Oct.
There are SO active local associations
in the state and out of those 81 re-
ported 26,23S cows tested.
As is well known locally, the Pc
tersen brothers have a fine herd of
purebred Guernsey cattle. The eight
cows milking with none dry produced
S55 pounds of milk with an average
of 47.6 pounds butterfat. Next highest
producing herd in the state associa-
ton for the month of October was
that of e. A. Miller at Carver. He
had five cows milking, none dry, $50
lbs. milk and an average of AL lbs.
butterfat. His cattle are of the
grade and purebred Jersey type.
This record is good showing by
the Petersen brothers, who maintain
very well kept farm and the feather
in their cap is most deserving.

PLUMB AND LAASTUEN
TO WRESTLE IN ASKOV
Bout VIII be Staged Thursday
Evening, Dec. 16.-Best Two
Out of Three.-Haye Met Be-
fore, Evenly Matched.

A wrestling match which promises
to be fast and interesting affair
will be staged at the D. B. S. hall
in Askov on Thursday evening, Dec.
10th, under auspices of the local
American Legion Post.
The main bout will bring together
I. M. Plumb, the fast light heavy
weight of Bruno, who has shown his
wares in Askov several times and
Con Laastuen, skillful wrestler of
Minneapolis. These two men met in
what was considered by many the
best wrestling match staged in Askov
last winter, Plumb being the winner.
Laastuen secured the first fall and
Plumb the next two, but it was a
very evenly matched bout and wrest-
ling fans in Pine county have been
hankering for a return match be-
tween the two. The Legion was sue
cessful in signing up the men for a
return engagement and large crowd
OF mat followers are expected here
when they clash. Both men weigh
between ITO and $50 pounds and in
science and strength are evenly
matched.
A preliminary bout will also be
staged but arrangements for that
have not yet been completed. The
management is angling for a couple
