Both Weaver and Campbell will
be receiving their third opHortuni-

thing. Kentucky Jim looked fairly
impressive In his last appearance
against the st. Louis Cardinals at
Avon Park. but Campbell failed
to get started against Brooklyn in

a former Robin, Brown hopes to
be in shape to share tomorrow's g
pitching assignment with Ad Liska
against Wilbert RObinson's club.
While looking forward to Al
Lang's annual get.together baseball
dinner at the Princess Martha Hotel,
St. Petersburg, tonight, many are
wondering whether or not any buSi-
ness matters may crop up during
the course of the merry-making.
The fact that Judge Kenesaw
Mountain lands, basebalrs high
commissioner. likely will be present
as guest of honor and naturally will
come in contact with club heads who
recently objected to his alleged
cover up" player exposure, has
aroused this conjecture. President
Clark c. Griffith, of the Washing
ton club, will be numbered among
the guests, but has no statement
whatever to make regarding the
commissioner probable appearance.
Much indignation Is being ex'
pressed by public-spirited citizens re-

She likewise left 10000 Kroner for

ASKOV PIONEER
ON A VACATION
Ludwig MOsbak, Founder Of Ferndale
Nursery on Trip to Native
Country.

Ludwig Mosbak, founder of the
Ferndale Nursery at Askov, left Mon
day on a three months sojourn to his
native country, Denmark, the first trip
to the old country since he left there
3S years ago. He also expects to visit
Germany on his European trip.
Mr.. Mosbak and his family came
to America in 1891, settling in Chi
cago, where he established himself
in the market garden and flower bust
ness, having seven greenhouses. They
remained there 16 years and came to
Askov in 1907 when this was practi-
cally a wilderness-22 years ago. The
first work was to do some clearing of
the land and to get some farming
started, but soon he was established
in the nursery business which has
gradually grown to the extent that
they now have so acres planted to
nursery goods, specializing in ferns
and evergreenS. For the past several
years they have been adding about five
acres to the nursery each year and
that is. the plan for 1880 ALSO An
other indication of the volume of
business transacted by the Ferndale
Nursery is the fact that they issue
from 10000 to 10000 copies annually
each of wholesale and retail catalogs,
besides issuing other pamphlets and
circulars at different times of the
year, and doing extensive advertising
in trade journals. Associated with
him in the nursery business are his
son, Hans Mosbak, and his son-in-
law, H. r. Buck. Mrs. Buck looks
after the bookkeeping and other Of
flee work.
The first lap of Mr. Mosbak's Jour-
ney was to Chicago where he is now
arranging some matters regarding his
citizenship papers and passports, like
ly through the office of the Danish
vice consul. Amongst some of the
relatives that he will visit in the old
country is brother, Hans Mosbak,
who is located at Skjorping Sta, Jyl-
land, near Stovring, where Ludwig
Mosbak was born IS years ago next
April 18th. His many friends out over
the county are glad to see him get this
well earned rest and wish for him
most enjoyable and profitable trip.

Our WASHINGTON Letter
By " HDaley

Washington, November 20.-No ship
wrecked sailor ever welcomed rescue
more than the national legislative
body grasped at the buoy of tax re-
duction. The administration proposal
for a broad cut in tax rates which
would become effective at a reason
ably early date is regarded by the pol
iticians, in Congressional and in Hoov-
er camps, as a sound economic meas
ure which will bring political re-
wards. The pronounced depression
resulting from the uncertainties as to
the actual influence of the stock mar
ket crash forced Mr. Hoover and Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon to move
toward the sterilization of business.
The antics of the senate, in particu-
lar, are rapidly bringing the general
legislative group into bad standing
with voters. The proposal to help
taxpayers out of some of their diff
culties offers the politically-minded a
distracting issue.
1t appears certain that the dissent
ers in the senate and house, who have
cluttered up the Congressional Record
in bids for public attention, will find
it almost impossible to block a tax
reduction. In the first place, it would
be political suicide. Secondly, senti-
ment is so strong that the DIRECTORS
would met with quick defeat. Secre-
tary Mellon has offered simple plan
that will preclude prolonged legisla-
tive wrangling. The scheme calls for

There may be attempts to liberalize
