committee work, and others even
passed by one House.
Peculiar Session.
One of the outstanding peculiarities
of the session of Congress just closed
is the fact that it was able to accom-
plish so much with a Senate not
under clear control of either party,
and House which at times did not
keep it's Republican majority to-
gether. The Administration did a
great deal of compromising on details
of legislation, the most notable
example of which is the abandonment
of the plan for local contributions
for Mississippi flood works.
The McNary-Haugen farm relief
measure provided the chief example
of Presidential veto and also of the
powerlessness of Congress to be truly
deliberative in the face of strongly
organized popular agitation for a
definite scheme of legislation. 1t is
stated that large proportion of the
members of congress who voted for
the McNary-Haugen bill firmly be-
lieved that it would meet with a
Presidential veto. However, this is
usually the sentiment regarding
highly controversial legislation in

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Some months ago it was told in
these columns that Swedish-American
organizations were about to launch a
Campaign for the purpose of collect
ing fund in honor of the SEVENTEEN
birthday of King Gustaf of Sweden,
the understanding being that such
money was to be devoted to the fight
against tuberculosis in Sweden.
Since then, numerous committees have
been at work, and a report last week
announced that more than $4,000 had
been subscribed. In addition to this
it is now learned that A. r. Holmeen
of Columbus, Ohio, has donated $5,40O
10000 kroner) to the fund-which
is the largest individual subscription
to date.
Geleff Dead.
Paul Geleff, for more than 40 years
a resident of the United States, died
recently at Naples, Italy, and was
buried on the island of Capri. In the
beginning of the seventies he left
Denmark, his native country, after
having served sentence for what
was then considered a crime, namely
participation in the effort to found a
Socialistic party, and during his
many years in the United States he
was engaged in numerous kinds of
business, mostly, it seems, real estate
dealings. For long time he made

I26 "Outsiders" Attend.

One hundred and twenty-six stu
dents who attended high school at
Pine City this year were nonresident
students, coming from outside the dis
trict. This large enrolment of nom
resident students will bring to the
district a nonresident tuition aid of
approximately 1924 as the state
pays aid at the rate of 81 per month
per student for the actual time that
each student attends. Probably this
same condition exists in other high
schools of the county, all of which
receive the state tuition aid for nom
resident students.

Township Officials Attend
Meeting Held Tuesday
In Town Hall.

Need for the use of clean seed, and
the Importance of cutting all nox-
ious weeds before they go to seed, was
stressed at a meeting of township
chairmen and other town board super
visors, by T. C. Heneghan, field rep
resentative of the state department of
agriculture, at a meeting held in the
Askov town hall Tuesday.
Township chairmen and the mayors
of cities and villages are, according
to the state law, the local weed in
spectors and have direct charge of
the enforcement of the weed and pure
seed laws. .-
These laws are preventive meas
ures," said Mr.. Heneghan, ''the en-
forcement of which will prevent dam
gerous weeds that at present are not
here, from coming into Pine county"
Must be Labeled.
According to the pure seed law, all
agriculture seeds sold for seeding pur-
poses, must be properly labeled, CIV
ing the place grown, percentage of
termination and purity. The speaker
urged all farmers to see that seeds
bought have tags attached as a means
of protection to themselves.
AS a means of controlling weeds,
the speaker urged the cutting of them
at blooming time or at the time the
roots are the weakest. Summer fall
lowing the remainder of the season
then will do the greatest damage to
the weeds, he said,
H. G. Ukkelberg, agent for the
United States department of agricul-
ture, was also present and spoke on
the eradication of the common bar
berry and it's relation to black stem
rust.
Tells of Progress.
He mentioned the progress of the
campaign, which is being carried on
by the United States department of
agriculture. He stated that this bush.
which harbors the black stem rust of
grain and grasses, and from which it
spreads in the spring, produces a

seeds he pointed out, may lie in the
ground several years before they
terminate. Any places where bushes
are found should be carefully watched,
including the surrounding territory,
to prevent any bushes from coming up
and spreading rust.
eff this barberry eradication cam
paign had not been started" said Mr..
Ukkelberg, common barberry bushes
would have increased very fast
throughout the state. They soon
would be found near every grain field,
where they would prove a source
of local epidemics of black rust which
may, under favorable weather con-
ditions, spread into a general cpl
demic of rust, causing heavy losses of
grain"
