SPELLING BEE GIVES
IMPETUS TO SPELLING

DR.. H. V. Holloway, state SUI
perintendent Of public instruc-
tiOn, said:
Il feel that the statewide
spelling bee, conducted under
the auspices Of the Every Eve
ming, with the aid of the teach
ers, supervisors and superin-
tendents of the public schools
of the state, has given a Won
derful impetus to the study of
a subject which many people
feel is becoming, on the part
of the young people, a lost art.
The fact, however, is that
young people spell better today
than ever before and it seems
to me that this spelling bee
has given evidence to that ef-
feet. We trust that it is but the
beginning of a series of sucn
bees which will prove of great
service to the school work Of
the state"

Governor Appoints
Rev. Water Chairman
For Golden Rule Day

Preparing for the observance Of
Golden Rule Sunday, December 5.
Governor A. &. Soriie. state chair
man, has appointed Rev. W. f. Water
as the local chairman to direct the
observance Of this world wide move
ment in this vicinity. Axel Solder Of
Wing was named chairman for that
vicinity.
In his letter to Rev. Water, Gov
ernor Sorlie writes: The Golden
Rule is the common denOminator OF
all beliefs. 1t is one of the few ex-
pressions Of religion around which
no controversy ccnters. Neither Prost-
cstant nor Catholic, Fundamentalist
nor Modernist. Jew nor Gentle crit
icises this golden precept. IL is the
one platform on which the whole COM
munity regardless of religion or creed
can meet.
Ii service to distressed and under
privileged children, wherever found,
can be extended through the increas-
ing observance of International Gold
en- Rule Sunday, it will, as President
Coolidge has said. do much towards
. removing the misunderstan
among nations as we'll as among in
| dividuals."
The immediate beneficiaries Of In
| ternational Golden Rule Sunday are
(, the orphaned children Of the Near
! East. There are $4,000 Of them now
under American care and for them
q 1925 900 meals must be provided in
/! the next year.

Seizure of Body Rubbing
Alcohol Appealed to High
Court by Chicago Concern

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. "A, Daig-
gre and company Of Chicago, today
gave notice of an appeal to the
United States circuit court, of ap-
peals from a decision by Federal
Judge John B. Sanborn, holding that
the company could not recover a
shipment of body rub alcohol seized
by the federal prohibition agents af-
ter it had been shipped to Aaron
Fineburg of ST. Paul.
John Sanborn dismissed the suit
against the federal prohibition agents
upon the contention that Diaggre and
company had lost ownership of the
alcohol on it's delivery to Fineberg,
The case was one of three suits for
recovery of body rub which sprang
into prominence with the entrance
into the, hearing of Andrew Volstead,
author of the prohibition act
Volstead, legol adviser of the
Northwest Prohibition Enforcement
division launched an attack upon the
laws under which entire body rub
alcohol industry of the United States
is conducted If his contention is
upheld in the courts, the industry
would be outlawed and manufacture
shipment and sale body rub would
be made illegal.

Coolidge Denies He Plays
Politics in Speeches, and
Senator Harrison Replies
fBv Dispatch al ?. Wtrel


WASHINGTON, Feb. "A White
House retort to the charge that
President Coolidge has been playing
poli9ics was followed today by a re-
newal of the charge from the demo-
cratic side of the senate.
What was said at the White House
was impaired to newspapermen in
the usual informal manner, and per-
mission to. print it as direct state
nlent by the president was with
held The substance of it was that
Coolidge hoped the public would not
take recent criticisms of him in con-
g'ress and elsewhere too seriously,
but would bear in mind this is
a campaign year, and that public
discussions at this season are likely
to have a political flavor.
Within two hours after the cor
respondents left the executive Of
fices, Senator, Harrison, democrat,
Mississippi, said on the senate floor
that the president had called in
newspapermen and warned them that
speeches in congress are political"
The senator added that such a
statement was unworthy of the
president of the United States"
"The president has been going
over the country making speeches to
commercial organizations and to
chambers of commerce." Senator Har-
rison said, Exploiting his views,
seeking to bring the people to his
idea of government and to win ap-
proval of his administrative policy.
He has not made a single speech,
from that uttered before the cham
Der of commerce of New York to
that fly y-night journey to Chicago
when he addressed the farmers of
the great northwest, offering to
them a panacea which was disap-
proved by that great section of the
country, but that he was trying to
win favor with the people, playing
politics in his speeches"

Federal Reserve Bank of
N. Y. Explains Dealings
With the Bank of England

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Policies of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York in dealing with domestic credit
conditions are not influenced by it's
relations with the Bank of England,
officials of the reserve institution
asserted in their eleventh annual err
port issued today
THE arrangements between the
Bank of England and the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York" said the
report Involve no commitment as
to the policies to be pursued by this
bank in dealings with domestic Gre
dit conditions. While it is the inten-
tion of this bank to exchange imfor-
land and to avoid any unnecessary
the maintenance of a free gold mar
ket, the federal Bank Of New York
and the Bank of England are abso-
lutely free and uncomnitted as to
any action whatever relative to dis,
count rates."
In view of sterling's close approach
to parity, considerable interest was
aroused by the banks first official
announcement that no use had been
made of the 2O0,OOO,OOO credit placed
at the disposal of the Bank of Eng.
land last spring for a two year peril
cd in connection with England's re-
turn to gold payments.
Total earnings of the New York
bank in 1925 were $1O,217,179, more
than $1,00ooOO larger than in the pre-
ceding year due largely to increased
borrowings by member banks. Oper-
ating expenses were lowered att the
same time leaving net income avail
able for dividends and additions to
surplus of $S1OS,29S compared with
only $616,S52 in 1924.
