"AUNT LUCIA" PLEASES

"Aunt Lucia" the musical mel
ange presented at the Caughren
theatre, Thursday and Friday eve
nings of last week, sponsored by
the ladies of the Church of Our
Lady of the Angels, was good en-
tertainment.z The principal female
parts were taken by the business
and professional men of the city,
with Stewart Whitehead in the
name part. The idea for the play
was undoubtedly taken from
"Charley's Aunt" comedy written
by the late Charles Hoyt, and very
popular with American people a
quarter of e. century ago. Two
capacity houses witnessed the pro-
auctions.

Sank Centre-Long Prairie
Highway Will Be Retreated
Department Will Treat 125 Miles
with Oil and Tar-Re-treat
$50 Miles.

Before the end of the summer
Minnesota will have nearly $50
miles of bituminous treated or
"semi-hard surfaced" roads in it's
trunk highway system. Commits
sioner c. M. Babcock this week an
nounces list of routes totalling
125 miles which will be given their
first treatment of oil or tar this
summer. Old bituminous roads
needing retreatment will also be
put in good condition.
Bids were opened May Is on L.
100000 gallons of oil and tar and
May 20 on an additional 1882, 000
Prices at the May Is letting ranged
from 6.28 to 7:34 cents on oil, and
11.63 to 1903 cents per gallon on
tar. These prices include freight
and the work of spreading the oil
or tar.
Roads being treated the first time
require from 10000 to $1,000 gal
Ions of material per mile. Usually
they must be retreated for two
successive years, after which it
may be possible to skip every third
year. This rotation, and the
amount applied, however, varies
somewhat with the traffic and the
nature of the gravel. in the road
Refreshments require from $500 to
5000 gallons per mile. Furnishing
and spreading cover coat of grav-
ell is done under separate contract,
or by the highway maintenance
forces. Scarifying is often neces-
sary, especially on old bituminous
roads. The total cost of the first
treatment averages about $4,000 per
mile for tar and $4,000 for oil, and
the cost of retreatment averages
about $1,000 for tar and $500 for
oil. About $50 of the 521 miles
treated in former years will be
retreated this year.
Treating gravel roads with oil or
tar binds the surface material and
conserves gravel. It eliminates or
reduces the dust nuisance in dry
periods and it greatly reduces the
probability of the road going to
pieces during the spring breakup
or other long periods of wet wealth
er. All the stretches to be treated
are roads carrying more than av-
erage traffic but not scheduled for
paving in the near future.

DEBENTURE PLAN
Will BE GIVEN UP
Senate Yields to Demand of
House to Spec Action on
Farm Relief Bill
CONFER WITH HOOVER
Conference Broken Up Week
Ago Will Be Resumed
Friday afternoon

Washington, May 29.-Conference
committees of the house and senate
have agreed to eliminate the de-
benture provisions from the farm
bill.
A group of senators called at the
White House today and are under
stood to have advised President
Hoover the deadlock between the
conferees has been broken.
The conference committee meet
ings ended abruptly a few days ago
when the house members declined
to consider the farm bill until the
debenture plan, strongly opposed
by President Hoover, had been
eliminated from the measure.
The meetings are expected to be
resumed probably on Friday and
administration leaders anticipate
the farm relief bill can be passed
by the end of the week.
The reported agreement tody
heightened prospects for a three
month congressional recess begin
ming about June 10.
Vigorous opposition to the pro-
posed recess was expressed by Sem
ator Jones, Rep, Wash, following
conference with President Hoov-
err.
This special session was called to
act on farm relief and the tariff
as connected with it," Jones said.
"The people expect us to act on
both these measures. They will
not be satisfied if we drop the
program now"
Senator Jones said he talked with
the president regarding rumors to
the effect that the present session
shall recess until September and
vote on the passage of the tariff
bill sometime in November"
Il do not know his attitude in re-
gard to it," Jones said. II told him
what I thought about it."
Jones scored the senate for it's
failure to act promptly on the ma
jer legislation sent. over to it from
the house.
"The president did his duty when
he called congress into special ses-
sion," he said. "The country will
take congress to task for is MONACO
ton. If the president agrees to
such recess he will share in
that responsibility. He is fully JUS
titled in notifying congress, by mes
sage or toherwise, that he expects
the tariff to be acted upon prompt
ly and that he will not approve the
action suggested"
Senate leaders who conferred
with the president at the White
House today besides Jone included
Capper of Kansas, and Borah of
Idaho. tEsha

Smaller Cities
100 WOMEN NEEDED
Company Representative to
Meet with Community
Club Directors

Sank Centre has an opportunity
to secure an overall factory.
Because of crowded conditions in
the larger centers Of population in
creasing labor troubles, and other
reasons, manufacturing concerns
are continually casting about for
opportunities to remove the manu-
featuring ends of their business to
smaller cities.
The first part Of the week rep
resentative of a large concern
which manufactures overalls,
mackinaws and other working
clothes for men, visited this city
to look over the ground with the
view of locating the overall factory
in Sank Centre.
He had an interview with George
Berggreen, President of the Com
munity Club, and the Herald Edit
or. He stated that this city was
ideally located for their purpose.
The only problem which they
would like to have cleared up is
that of labor. The company en-
ploys girls and women almost ex-
clusively in the manufacture of
their product.
The women are started at the
minimum wage of $1,000 weekly.
The company's representative stat
ed to the Herald editor that after
an employment of couple of
weeks or so when the worker is
put on piece basis the operative
should earn considerably more
than this amount. If they cannot,
he said the company could not af-
ford to retain them. The en-
ployees go to work at 7:30 a. M,
and quit at 4:30 p. m. The work
is steady.
The gentleman will return to
Sank Centre Tuesday of next week.
If he has 100 applications from the
women of this section by that time
he said there wouldn't be any diff
Guilty about making the other ar
rangements necessary. Any wo-
man interested in securing steady
employment address:

When he returns to the city next
