DAUGHTER BORN
TO IRVING BERL|NS
Mary Ellen, Weighing Seven
Pounds, Arrives at Hospital
on Thanksgiving Day.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 26.-1rv1ng
Berlin, the king of Tin Pan Alley, and
his wife, the former Ellin Mackay OF
the fashionable world, are the parents
of a 7-pound daughter.
Mary Ellin Berlin was born yester
day in York House, a private hos
pital just east of Fifth avenue or
Seventy-second street, while Berlin
neglected his Thanksgiving dinner to
pace the hospital corridors. Franklin
i. Adams, known to newspaper read
ers of his humorous column as IF. r
A." who paced the corridors on his
own account Il week ago when son
arrived, was with Berlin.
Mrs. Berlin's father Clarence Mac,
kay, president of the Postal Telegraph
Co, who has been eStranged from his
daughter since her marriage, was
duck hunting on Gardners Island. In
Long Island Sound, when the stork
arrived.
Mother Goes to Hospital.
Her mother Mrs. Joseph A. Blake.
was one Of the first to arrive at the
hospital to congratulate Mrs. Berlin.
Mrs. Blake expressed great pleasure
at becoming a grandmother on
Thanksgiving day.
THE child is very pretty and the
image of her mother" she said.
The sudden Berlin Mackay marriage
at the Municipal Building last Janu-
ery caused a sensation from the jazz
palaces of Broadway to the fashion
able apartments on Park avenue. Mi.
Nackay expressed his complete sur
prise" and declared the marriage took
place without his consent or knoWl-
edge.
After their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Berlin spent a week at Atlantic City
and then sailed for a prolonged honey
moon in Europe. Reports that Mr..
Mackay had changed his will disin-
heriting Mrs. Berlin could never be
verified, although he did authorize a
statement that no effort was being
made toward a reconciliation. Berlin
has denied that a Roman Catholic cere-
mony to win his favor is in prospect.
Upon their return to New York in
cognito by way of Canada in August,
Afr and Mrs. Berlin sought seclusion
1rom the publicity that had attended
their European trip.
For the last few months they have
been living at a quiet apartment hotel
in the east fifties, but after his daugh-
ter's birth yesterday Berlin ordered
their belongings returned to his apart
ment in the roaring fortieS," in which
he has written many of the love bal
lads that brought him wealth and the
heart of a debutante.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
COST YOUTH HIS LEG
Albert Anderson, Farmer Boy at.
Duxbury is Victim Of Re-
vOIver Accident.

Markville, Feb. Especial to-,
American.-Albert Anderson, To-
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. AL,
bert Anderson of Duxbury, had.
his right leg amputated above
the knee at the University hos
pital in Minneapolis Friday af-

Young Anderson was badly
woundedin the calf of his right
leg last Wednesday when a re-.
volver which he was carrying in
a holster in his hip pocket was
discharged in some way as he sat
in a chair at home. The wound
was of such serious nature that
DIR. Freymiller, who was called
from Markville, took the boy to
the hospital the following night.
Gas bacillus infection developed
and the amputation became nee
cessary Friday. -
Mrs. Anderson, Albert's moth

wit Congressional investiga-
tons. It. has been found that
the noise and bitterness de-
veloped by political investiga-
tions make little impression on
the public and provide only pass
ing sensations.
Senator Overman, of North
Carolina, a veteran member of
the Senate, said recently that the
average investigation by the Sen
ate costs S150,000. The chief
beneficiaries of these investiga-
tons are the official stenogra-
pliers who receive considerable
money for their pothooks of tes-
timony and special attorneys. 1t
was brought out in the Senate
debate this week that approx
mately two or three hundred
thousand dollars is spent yearly
in contested election cases. This
does not take into consideration
the post-election contest in the
House, which has a large mem
bership.
Passage of the public buildings
bill in the House by scant mar
gin of votes is arousing interest
as to it's fate in the Senate. This
legislation has been pending in
Congress for ten years and pro-
vides for the construction of Fed
eral buildings in the District of
Columbia and in certain states.
Opponents of the bill have CLASH
fled it as a pork barrel" meas
ure,-meaning of course, one that
carries patronage for certain To-
calities. The bill carries an ap-
preparation of $165, 100000 to be
spent in the next five years I'M
der the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the
Postmaster General. Critics
claim that it will only cover con-
|struction projects in six states.
Those who protested against the
bill claim that it would give the
Postmaster General too much
power and would, abrogate the
privileges of the legislative body.

MAMMOTH EGG INCUBATOR
is ERECTED AT BARNUM
Maplewood Poultry Farm Has
Made Great Strides in
Fourteen Years.

Barnum, Mimi, Feb. "a. -Spec-
ial to the American The Maple
wood Poultry farm which is
owned and operated by Hugo
Anderson, we'll known local poul-
try man has just installed a
$4,000 egg capacity incubator to
its already we'll equipped plant.
This machine is the very last
word in artificial incubation and
is the largest incubator in this
part of the country. 1t has been
given it's initial test and was
found to be entirely satisfactory.
The work of installing this new
Smith $4,000 egg capacity was
completed Feb. 18th by M. G..
Ketchum,, acting Engineerlfor the
Smith Incubator Co., Cleveland,
Ohio.
Aside from its enormous capa-
city the incubator combines a
number of exclusive features. It
occupies the remarkable small
floor space of 10x13 and can be
operated in a room 10 feet high.
The attendant works inside of
the machine and thus does away
with the possibility Of chilling
the chicks. Electric fans assist
in circulating the air which is
automatically changed every
three minutes.
Mr.. Anderson has already be-
gun the operation of his incuba-
tors and it will be so arranged
that chicks will hatch three times
each week, ION Mondays, Wednes-
days and, Fridays and all orders
are filed promptly. Mail orders
are received from near and far

Our WdsflinQtonLetter
By v EDaley
80 - r aosl tDuoa4 Ass0eNro~ stc4

Washington, Feb. 24-Obser-
vers in Washington are Of the
opinion that the time is at hand
for an eruption of the political
volcano. Months have passed
without anything more exciting
than a petty squable and official
life in Washington has been
marked by dull routine. Not
even the >531 members of the
Senate and House have been
able to project themselves out
of the humdrum of orderly ex-
istence. This unusual calm has
had a paralyzing effect upon pc
litical parties with a result that
something may be expected with
in the next few weeks to relieve
the monotony.
1t appears that the best we
can expect is few investigations
into departmental matters. The
Tariff commission, which has
been out of the limelight for
some time, has been selected by
certain groups as a subject for
the political gridiron. In late
years the tendency has been to
remove the tariff issue from par
tisanship and make it scientific
proposition. The present COM
mission came into existence in
1917, and is a supposedly quasi
judicial and non-partisan organ
ization. 4.
Two years ago there was a
clash of personalities among the
commissioners but this was ad-
justed. The change resulted in
charges that President Coolidge
was seeking one-man control over
the activities of the Commission
by reason of making conditional
appointments. Some claim a
portion of our economic troubles
are due to the high protection
lists" among commissioners.
Whenever there is any difficulty
in marketing farm products
blame for the trouble is placed
on the Tariff Commission. Re-
Gently, the Senate forced the
Commission to take up the study
of the relative cost of dairy pro-
ducts here and abroad. An eff
fort is being made to make the
Tariff Commission a political is
sue in the Congressional prim-
aries and elections. H.. :.
One of the most noteworthy
developments of the present
Congress is the disposition on the
part of both parties to dispense

POLITICAL BALL
STARTS ROLLING

A dozen men met in Askov a
few days ago and started the po-
litical pot sizzling by issuing a
circular letter calling for a
county convention at HinckIey
on Saturday, March Is, the pur-
pose of which is to endorse can
didates for political offices.
Their circular letter reads as
follows:
I'VE, the undersigned voters,
desire&to change the methods of
selecting representatives from
the usual form: that somebody
who has an axe to grind, whether
that axe might be political am
bition or graft in one form or an
other, has run for office by
spending more or less money and
a lot of talk and promises which
too seldom are fulfilled or at
tempted honestly to live up to.
Our ideal has been, and is,
that the voters should call man,
in whom they have confidence,
to represent them in official po-
sitions.
I'VE will be called on to elect.
one senator and one representa-.
tive to our legislature this fall,
and we do believe we can find
practical farmers to represent u.s.,
We hope that farmers in the local
communities in Pine county will
talk the matter over and send
delegations to a meeting in
Hinckley Saturday, March Is, at
1 p. M, in the village hall for the
purpose mentioned above.
I'VE will be pleased to hear
from as many as possible.
