How can you stand it. you and

And how can you stand the work

Caring for cows and chickens and
sows, and tilling the stony soil.
How a you stand it, your wife

And it is a humdrum life we lead.
and our work is commonplace
But stars and moon and a day in

And yiolets blue, and bursting

So what care we if our humdrum
life with commonplace toll is
fraught-
love our COWS and our fields
and sows, and from somewhere
comes the thought,
That out of such humdrum, com
mon lives, Gods beautiful world
is wrought.

POTATO GROWERS
WILL COOPERATE
Board of Directors Consisting of
Thirteen Members Created For
Benefit of New Body.

During their recent meeting at Min
neapolis, the potato growers, ship
pers and others interested in the in
dustry throughout the state, organ
lied what is to be known in the fu-
ture as the Minnesota Potato Grow
ers' and Shippers association. The
purpose of this association, as pointed
out at the meeting, will be to stabilize
and develop the potato industry of
the state, to assist growers in i'm
proving the quality of their product,
and to lead in a movement for orderly
marketing of the crop and mainte-
nance of prices on profitable levels.
The new organization was created
at the first Minnesota potato con-
ference, by unanimous vote of some
300 potato growers, shippers and deal
ers, who were backed in the move by
Minnesota state officials, representa-
tives of farm publications and spokes-
men for the Minneapolis Civic and
Commerce association, and the St
Paul Association.
A board of directors consisting of 13
members was created for the associ-
alton.

HINCKLEY TRIMS PINE
CITY IN TIGHT GAME

In a tight and thrilling basketball
game last Thursday evening, the
Hinckley high school team defeated
the Pine City high school team by a
score of 10 to 8. The score was tied
six different times during the game
and it was not until the last second
that the result was definitely decided.
Both teams were composed of ex-
perienced players and went at the
affair with determination. Hinckley
took the lead when Stanchfield got
basket early in the first quarter,
but Jordan of Pine City evened the
score with basket a few minutes
later Both teams resorted to the five
man defense throughout the game
and at the end of the first quarter
the score was tied at four all. At
the end of the first half, the score
was still a tie at 6 to 6, and in the
third quarter, Pine City gained one
point lead and went into the fourth
quarter with a 9 to s score. Two

WASHINGTON Letter

Washington, December 26.-Despite
the pressing demands of legislative
duties, the politically minded are pre-
pairing for Southwark flight. The
magnet that draws them to Florida is
the return of the President-elect from
his Latin-American trip on January
q. The men and women whose well
fare depends on the distribution of
political patronage want to know what
the future holds for them. The best
minds could not overcome the distance
fact. The incoming Chief Executive
has three months in which to solve
problems of sorting out the myriad of
payroll. 1t would not be ethical for
the new administration chieftain to
come to Washington while Mr.. Cool
idge holds the reins, hence the de-
cision on neutral meeting place.
Prior to the adjournment of Con-
gress for the Christmas holiday sea-
son there was considerable contro-
versy as to whether the Kellogg null
tilateral treaty for the remuneration
of war or the naval construction bill
should be given precedence. 1t was
finally decided to end the contest for
position by compromise. Both meas
ures will go over until after the holt
day recess, and appear with equal
standing on the Senate calendar. t. en-
there will be vote on which one is
first to be taken up. Despite all that
President Coolidge, President-elect
Hoover and Secretary Kellogg have
matters out, it is felt that there is a
certain inconsistency between the two
measures.

She was a faithful member of the
Catholic church and was active in
church work. Mrs. Wallace was a
permanent resident here at one time,
coming here with her husband shortly
after the big fire of ga, and conducted

friend of the Madison family, and
visited with them many times after
making her home in Minneapolis, her
last stay here lasting over year.
