South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 10, 1928.
"A short run in the cattle division
coupled with the active feeder de-
mand for warmed-up steers and year
lings compelled packers to replace
all of the opening loss on these. Sew
eral cars of lightweight steers scored
at $12.10 to $3.50, while most of the
crop turned at $1,000 to $11.5O. She
stock was slow but fully steady, a
spread of $3.50 to $3.50 taking most
fat cows with heifers largely at $3.50
to $3.50. Cutters turned at $500 to
$500, while bulls on a weak close
finished at $7.75 to $S25 mostly.
Vealers were unevenly SOC to $1.00
lower, mostly $1.00 off, with bulk of
the good lights at $1,000. Stocker
and feeder inquiry was broad for all
lines, meaty feeders selling from
$1,000 to $1O.75, the rank and file
of all steers from $500 to $3.50.
A very uneven market prevailed in
the hog house where shippers fur
nished most of the activity at prices
that were unevenly steady to 10c to
15c lower than Mondays average.
Sorted hogs weighing 100 pounds and
up sold to shippers at $500, packers
operating sparingly at $7.75 to $7S5
on desirable lights and butchers.
Light lights sold around $3.50, sows
$500, and pigs at $6.75.
Fairly desirable native lambs sold
at $12.25. to $3.50, Gull and common
kinds from $500 to $1O.5O, while the
best wooled offerings were still held
at this writing. Ewes were scarce,
but were quoted about in line with
Mondays trade. A lot of $50 pound
averages sold at $500.

BIG INCREASE
IN TELECRAMS
Western Union Business at
ASkOv Shows Good Gain
in Comparison With 9th
er Stations Nearly $500
i'm November.

A table compiled by officials of the
Great Northern Railway, showing
telegraph business and recently re-
ceived by the station agent at Askov,
puts this village above the leaders in
the division. The table includes
only those stations whose monthly
telegraph business amounts to over
$50, and. in so doing there is listed
only three stations between the Twin
Cities and the Twin Ports, those be-
ing. Cambridge, Sandstone and Askov.
The tabulation also shows the COM
parison with the amount of business
done during the same month in 1926,
giving the exact increase or decrease.
Thus it will be noted in the figures
below that for the month of November,
1927, Askov did nearly three times
as much telegraph business as Sand
stone and twice as much as Cam
bridge.
Following are the exact figures for
the amount of telegraph business at
the three stations mentioned:

srosn GproRua ASSOCIATION pse,AI

Washington, January 11-Speeches
which were prepared during the long
summer and fall recess are being un-
loaded in the Congressional Record.
Congress which usually finds itself
criticised by the general public is
taking turn in commenting upon
the sins of omission or commission
observed among the Executive depart
ments. The principal target for criti-
cism is the Navy Department, chief
ly because of the submarine disasters.
Yet, the Shipping Board and the De-
partment of State come under the
raking fire at the Capitol. One of
the most pleasing features of the sea-
son has been the freedom from scan
dals in political matters. Official
Washington has just settled down to
long winter and spring seige of
legislation and politics so anything
may be expected.
If any of the House leaders are
taking their Presidential ambitions
seriously their attitude on the Norris
resolution which would abolish lame
duck" sessions of Congress may prove
source of embarrassment 1t is
significant to note that this resolu-
tiOn has passed the Senate four times
by overwhelming votes, but never es-
capped from the vest pocket veto of
the House chieftains.
This legislative proposal has at
tracted nationwide attention because
it is designed to do away with the
short session of Congress, that is, a
meeting which is called from the
first Monday in December to March
fourth on alternate years. 1t is said
that the chances favor a. change of
heart on the part of the House BOSSES
The resolution, if enacted into law,
would permit constitutional amend
ment fixing the beginning of the
terms of the President and Vice Pres
January and the terms of Senators
and Representatives at noon on the
second day of January following their
election in the preceding November.
The passage of resolution author
izing the extension of the oil scandal
inquiry brings to the fore one of the
new leaders of the Senate. Sel.ator
Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota is ac-
tually beginning his first regular
term after having served out two
short terms. and, has the distinction
of being the Chairman of the Com
mlttee on Public Lands, one of the
major committees of the Senate. The
North Dakota Senator is independent
of his party relations, being recog-
nized as one of the Progressive Re-
publican group. Like his close friend
and associate, Senator LaFollette. Mr..
Askov American., 1928-01-12

Nye is in his early thirties and
strongly entrenched> for a long stay
in the Upper House. The Senate
cloak rooms are still buzzing over
the honors bestowed upon this young
ster, who upset the seniority rule and
privileges given to those who have
grown old in the service of the Sen
ate.
There is small group in the Sem
ate and House which insists on re-
viving the tariff controversy in con-
nection with farm products. In re-
cent years it has been generally rec
cgnized that scientific tariffs were
driving this item from its top-notch
place in politics. The agitation for
agricultural legislation has been kept
down during the holiday recess, but
will probably bob up in Senate and
House Committee meetings during
the next month.
While interest centers primarily
upon the candidates for the Presiden-
tial nomination, the post of Vice
President is not overlooked in politi-
cal discussion. The Vice Presidency
is particularly important, considering
that several of our Chief Executives
have been advanced from this place,
notably, Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Cool
idge. A number of Vice Presidential
booms have been launched by friends
of men in the public eye. A large
percentage of those considered avail
able for the second highest position
in the gift of the people of the Ma
tion are Members of the Senate and
House. 1t is true, however, that
many men are placed in running for
the office by their well-wishers more
as a compliment than seriously.
The government is giving out some
encouraging news. The Commission
er General of immigration has ad-
vised Congress scientific study has
revealed that the time is soon to
come when by habits and environ
ment of improved degrees our life
span will extend beyond the prophetic
three-score and ten. The point this
official makes is that our citizenship
will improve provided attention is
given to immigration problems.
One of the most interesting places
in Washington is the Bureau OF
Standards where tests of all sorts are
conducted along scientific lines. A
report submitted this week shows
that it has been possible to increase
the durability of paper currency used
in this country. A type of paper has
been developed which will fold in five
thousand double folds before it is
worn out. This has resulted. in in
creasing the life of paper currency.

The Pine City high school debating
teams will again go into action in
the near future. There are two
teams. Affirmative and Negative.
During the third week in January,
Sandstone will be met and early in
February, the negative team will go

debated during the season. The pu-
pills who make up the teams are:
Affirmative - WinEllen MacEachern,

Joe Petschel and Joe Carlson were

Inviting Tourists.
The H. C.. Andersen society at
Odense, Denmark, is planning to ar
range a gigantic Hans Christian An
dersen celebration in that city in
July. 1880, and a general invitation
has been extended to people in all
European countries as we'll as in the
United States to be present at some
phases of the festivities which will
extend over nine days. AS the So
ciety feels that American interest in
Andersen's work is constantly in
creasing, it expects very large par
ticipation by Americans.
Golden Wedding.
On January %, Col. and Mrs.

fifty years ago. For some years he
was federal internal revenue col
lector for the state of Minnesota, also
brigadier general in the Minnesota
national guard. At one time he was
the publisher and editor of "Nord-

confined to his home for several
months because of illness.
Double Celebration.

brated their sixtieth wedding ami

ing the foreign market situation, de-
cided that the United States offers a
constantly increasing demand for
that special Norwegian fish which,
