Last Friday evening Coach Peterson
and his five basketeers made an as

defeating them by a point. The score
board registered 26 to % when the
final whistle called a halt. Franklin
High must be given due credit for
having a good team but during the
first half Sandstone outplayed them
and was leading by 10 points. Dur
ing the second half Franklin High
began to run the score up to Sand
stones lead and both teams were
forced to the limit during the last few
minutes, making it very exciting for
both players and fans. The freshman
and sophomore girls teams played the
preliminary game. The teams were
very evenly matched but the fresh

their reputation as basket getters,
winning by small margin. Moose

EEosv, ASSOCIATION s'scAl

Washington, D. c., Jan. 25.-Leg-
islatfve affairs have reached the
stage where they are being clicked.
The element of time is foremost IN
the discussions in Congress these
days. Whenever proposition is
mentioned and demand made for its
enactment the alibi artists call at
tention to the fact that the time is
all too short. The defeat of many
meritorious measures through post
ponement in their consideration by
the Senate and House is inevitable.
The result is that Washington is
is thronged with legislative represen-
tatives of organized groups in final
effort to obtain action on bills which
they deem of vital Importance in
their particular field of endeavor.
No race horse, was ever more care
gress.
Though several gestures have been
made by legislators interested in farm
conditions, it Is generally recognized
that no serious effort will be made
to take up the agricultural problem
at this session. 1t appeared for a
time that some emergency legislation
giving financial relief to stricken ag-
ricultural areas would be enacted.
Attempts to amend some of these bills
to relieve the difficulties of the cotton
growers and other amendments is
said to have brought about an i'm
passe.
The flight of time is recognized to
such an extent that some legislators
are resorting to parliamentary tricks
to obtain action on measures they
sponsor. The favored method
is to offer amendments to appropria-
ton bills from the floor of the Senate
and House, hoping that no objection
will be made to the consideration of
the amendment The chances are
against the final adoption of amend
ments of this sort, but frequently po-
litical situations leave no alternative.
Foreign affairs, which nave shared
the spotlight with election contests
in the Senate, still claim attention.
The organized electrical interests are
making their presence felt these days
by forcing discussion of power pro-
jects in the West and South. The
discussion on railroad consultations,
always source of debate in the Sen
ate, failed to register this week. The
feeling prevails that the time is not
ripe for legislative action on this
subject, besides there are subjects of
greater political Importance within
shouting distance. ri
Now that resourceful Legislators in

you want your plates right away, or
if you do net have your card OR your

bureau so rushed at the last minute
that you cannot be accommodated and,
you may find the 25 cents a day pen

thermore, owners who make their APP
plications in February may have to
wait a month before they get their
plates, while in January plates may
be obtained with little or no delay.

Treasury and the Postmaster General
are besieged with requests from var

want new buildings erected in their
particular territories. Thea public

appropriations to certain projects so

buildings valued at $5O,000,O00 will be
erected in Washington within the next

cause many important government
| agencies are housed in privately
owned buildings at excess rentals, so
that true economy will be effected in
| housing them in government struc-
lures. Construction work has not
started, as some differences exist be-
tween the city planners and govern
mental officials. Every effort is
made to maintain the reputation of
Washington as 1.-The City Beautiful.

Bank Survey Ordered
In State Legislature
Joint Committee VIII Study All Bills
and Propose Legislation to Improve
Banking Situation Com
mission VIII Study Reforestation
Problem and Report to Legislature
of 1929.
BY Martin W.. Odland.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 25.-During the
first few weeks of legislative ses-
sion, there is always more talk about
what the lawmakers are going to do
than what they have done or are do
ing. At this writing no important
measures have been passed by either
branch, or even reported out of COM
mittee, but about 800 bills have been
dropped into the hopper and some of
these are of far-reaching Importance.
An important development of the
past week was the adoption of joint
resolution, providing for the appoint
ment of three senators and three rep
resentatives to make study and sur
vey of all bills affecting the state
banks and then recommend to the
Legislature what legislation ought to
be enacted with view to putting the
banking business in Minnesota on a
sounder basis. The chairman of this
joint committee is Senator C. Rosen-
meier of Little Falls.
A good many bills affecting banks
have already been introduced, but, un-
der the plan agreed upon, these will
not be reported out of the committees
OF the house and senate for considera-
ton by the two bodies, but will be
held back for study by the special
committee.
1t is impossible to foretell what will
be done along the line of improving
the banking situation. Many mem
bers favor a guaranty of deposits;
many others, perhaps a majority, are
opposed. An interesting proposal is
that of Senator L. p Johnson of
Ivanhoe, which is that each bank put
up bond covering one half of its
deposits. At present all public funds
deposited in banks are thus secured.
1t is reasoned that if one half of the
deposits are secured, the other half
wouldsbe made good by the available
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-01-27

assets of the bank, and there would
be no loss to the depositors.
There will be no legislation this
winter to carry into effect the re-
forestation amendment to the state
constitution adopted by the people at
the last election. 1t is felt that this
is a very delicate question for the
legislature to handle-that it be-
hooves the state to make no mis-
moves. So the entire problem will be
referred to an interim commission for
careful study and investigation, such
commission to make its recommends
tons to the legislature of 1929. 1t is
expected that the commission will be
empowered to visit other states in
their tigations-possibly even
Europe, where various methods of re-
forestation have been given trial for
long period.
AS was expected, many bills amend
ing the election laws are making their
appearance. One proposes that the
polls shall open at o'clock a. m. and
close at o'clock p. m. 1t is agreed
that there would be just as many votes
under the proposed change and the
hardship imposed upon the election
officials would be less. 1t is expected
that the country members will OPP
pose the change, while those from the
three big cities will favor it.
A bill by Representatives Charles
Mum of Osseo, Carl M. Iverson of
Ashby and E. E. Barsness of Glen
wood provides that a candidate who.
files for nomination on party ticket
shall not, as now, be required toSwear
that he voted for majority of the
candidates running on that ticket at
the last preceding election. The spe-
cial significance attached to this bill
is that, if it became a law, Senator,

file for the Republican nomination for
United States senator in 1928 without
stultifying himself. There has been a
great deal of speculation as to Senator
Shipstead's future plans. The authors
of the bill state as positive fact that
the senator had no knowledge of the
pending bill before its introduction.
and that they acted without consult
ing his wishes in the matter.

lady every Saturday afternoon, and
she always gave him piece of CO.
coanut layer-cake. But one Saturday,
as she expected company fer tea,
she decided not to cut the cake. and,
therefore, none was offered Robbie.
He waited and waited for his usual
treat. Finally it came time for him
to go.

he remarked wistfully, rising from
his chair and looking toward the
kitchen.
The old lady laughed, went to the

piece?"

PINE CITY WINS TWO
GAMES BASKET BALL
Saltwater Goes Down "a to 16,
But Forest Lake Gives Hard
Opposition. Miss Katherine
Becvar Dies.

The Pine City high school basket
ball team continued its winning
streak during the past week by de-
feating Saltwater and Forest Lake.
The Saltwater team did not prove to
be as strong as was expected, Pine
City winning with the score of "a to
Is. Forest Lake threatened to break
the string of victories of Pine City on
Monday evening when they met the
locals before they had time to recover
from the Saltwater game. The For
est lake team is undoubtedly the fast
est team seen on the Armory floor
this season. At the end of the first
half, Forest Lake was leading 16 to 6,
but Pine City staged wonderful and
unexpected comeback by tieing the
score in the last half, the final count
being II to II. Three extra periods
of five minutes were necessary before
the tie could be broken, the score
stood % to 81 with only few minutes
left to play, when Hoefler for Pine
City broke away from his guard for a
basket, bringing close victory for
Pine City with the score of % to %.
Next Friday the squad will be divided
one group going to Hinckley for a
game and the other going to Rush

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggists Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre. or when it fades, turns gray. dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mix ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beauti- ful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get for only 75 cents this famous mixture i'm proved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth' $ s3age and Sulphur Compound, it darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody. can possibly tell 1t has been applied. You just dampen a sponge oy soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. adv,
