Controlled by wireless, pilotless planes

other amazing maneuvers are made as

and extravaganza and pleaded with

He said there was at present APP
parent unemployment in America
while at the same time there was
a shortage of labor. He said that the
reason for the unemployment was
that there had been too much eX-
pansiOn of credit which now had to
end because many projects were be-
ing left uncompleted because of the
high cost of labor and material. He

Our WASHINGTON Letter
By " pDaley

Washington, May 81 = Congress
closes it's doors with a display of
political fireworks. These demonstra-
tions just prior to a holly contested
Presidential campaign are accepted
by wise observers as a routine mat
ter. Citizens distant from Washington
are sometimes impressed by develop
ments of congress. The difference
in effect is that the visitors view
the congressional people from front
of the foot-lights while in Washing
ton one must look behind the scenes.
AS the politicians prepare to aban-
don Washington for Kansas City and
Houston, it becomes increasingly APP
parent that no one can fortell with
a degree of accuracy the outcome of
the nominating convention. The
draft Coolidge" demand is kept alive
by the opponents of other Republican
candidates, though Hoover and Smith
have cornered an impressive number
of delegates. The call for a political
dark horse continues with undated
vigor. The presidential primaries and
the debates in congress have left
their marks on the leading candidates
because of the antagonism they have
developed among favored sons"

Mr. Anderson's body was found in

another term of which little is said
in debate. There is no secret of the
fact that the legislative body is great
ly concerned over this trend because
they feel that to draft Mr.. Coolidge
again and elect him would virtually
establish him as a dictator. The
latest presidential possibility as a
dark horse is Dwight Morrow, our
ambassador TO Mexico.
The feeling of congress in regard
to Mr.. Coolidge taking another four
years at the White House is evidenc-
ed in the numerous instances during
the last session when the legislative
body over-rode vetoes of the president.
Under ordinary circumstances it is
an extremely difficult matter to OBJ
tain the necessary two-thirds major
ity in both the senate and house to
have the Legislators prevail over the
presidents disapproval of bills sent
to him for signature. Even the ad-
ministration stalwarts, or those who
usually uphold the president, desert

indications are that congress takes

Commencement is But Start,
Hurley Tells Graduates
Completion of High School Means
Simply the Start of Another
Important Journey.

Picturing for the two graduates of
the Askov high schoOl-Bernice Koed
and Elmer Hansen-a brilliant fu-
ture, at the same time carefully call
ing attention to some of the obstacles
that will be thrown in their way along
their march forward, M. B. Hurley,
county attorney, Pine City, gave the
commencement address at the exer-
cises at the D. B. S. hall Monday
night
Commencement" Mr.. Hurley told
his audience, lis, in very true sense,
merely the beginning. These two
young persons, to be sure, have fin
ished one great work, but are just
starting upon another, and probably
more trying journey. They are soon
to come face to face with the prob
lens of life which they will have to
analyze and solve for themselves"
Experience is Teacher.
Quoting from a recent article by
DR.. Hubert Work, secretary of the
interior, Mr.. Hurley said that after
graduation, experience becomes the
great teacher.
Closing his remarks, Mr.. Hurley
predicted that the two graduates hon.
ored Monday night, would be distinct
assets to the community in which
they live, and would fulfill every
hope held out for their future.
Bringing wildly to the fore the
class motto, BE Equal to Your
Trust" Miss Koed, valedictorian of
her class, pledged to endeavor at all
times to exemplify its meaning.
She traced briefly the history of
her class, telling how, as children,
its members trudged off to school car
rying their lunch pals: carefree, joy
full, not once giving thought during
those early years, of commencement"
the real beginning.
Hope to "Be Equal
But now" she said, that we I'M
derstand the real meaning of com
mencement', we will strive to our ut
most to be equal to the trust placed
in US, to the end that we may carry
on as we have started, and like the
daffodil, our class flower, with fear
lessness and joy enduring"
Picturing as an exemplary char
acter-one whose life any youth could
follow with great profit-Mr. Hansen,
salutatorian, told something of the
experiences and deeds of John A.
Johnson, once beloved governor of
Minnesota, declaring it to be his aim
to copy" after Mr.. Johnson to the
best of his ability.
