than per cent from April of this year,
as compared with o normal seasonal

low. five showed increases over the pre-
ceding month, one showed q decrease
from April of this year, but an increase
when compared with May, 1928, and
only two showed decreases from both
April of this year and May of the last
year.

with the total volume for April. and q
decline of 20 per cent from the May,

The Church of the Immaculate
Conception at Osakis, four months

dedicated Sunday afternoon.
The new structure, of brick and
stone, is largely a gift of the parish
from Mr.. and Mrs. T. j. Gibbons,
of st. Paul, who have made Osakis
their summer residence for many
years. Rev. D. M. Driscoll is pas
tor. The former pastor was Rev.

fessor Andreas Larsen, of Minneap-
oils. Pews are of white oak, finished
in gold. Stations of the cross are
in oil, executed by Peter Martini
of st. Cloud and frames for the
stations are in antique bronze.
Old ivory coloring scheme is car
ried throughout the building and
the statuary is in harmony with
this. The sub-auditorium is fur
nished with tables for general use.
Chairs are of steel construction and
the decorations are tapestries and
oil frescoes, the latter designed and
executed under the direction of

Tariff Bill Will
Likely Be DELAYED
CONTINUED From Page one)

result neither disappointment, nor
regret should there be no new tar
iff legislation enacted at all. Ger,
tainly there is neither desire MOI
demand for the passage of the kind
of a bill now being considered by
the senate. In fact it is felt thai
the agricultural interests of the ma
ton would be relatively better of
if the situation under the existing
tariff law were permitted to remain
as it is.
"The Hawley bill as revised by
the senate finance committee offers
no real relief to the farmer though
the chief promise of tariff legisla-
ton with his benefit as paramount
was supposed to be the reason for
calling this special session of con-
gress. This pledge seems to have
been lost in the scramble of favored
industries for higher duties.
1.-The average farmer in the west
feels that he would fare infinitely
better financially were congress to
permit present conditions, unequal
as they are under the Fordney-
McCumber tariff, to continue. 1t
would be worse than swapping the
devil for a witch to substitute the
new for the old.
when the tariff bill of 1922 was
under consideration made the pre-
diction that the farmers of Amer
lea would in due course discover
how they had been Disseminated
against and that they would then
demand a tariff for all or a tariff
for none. That is exactly what has
happened. They have seen the
chicken carved and now know who
gets the white meat, who gets the
drumstick and who gets the neck
from the protection platter as it is
passed around
1.-THE bill of 1929 is being examin-
ed into with minute care by those
interested in the welfare of agri-
culture who during their seven
lean years have seen the industries
which have enjoyed a virtual mo-
nopoly of the American market
prosper abundantly. They find that
the inequalities in this measure are
even more pronounced.
"The ostensible benefits of the
rates on agriculture products are
in practically every instance more
than offset by the increased duties
which the farmers would have to
pay in the way of compensatory le-
vies or through the operation levies
or through the operation of other
oppressive rates granted to pre-
ferred industries which must be
endured if the Hawley-Smoot bill is
accepted as a whole.
Putting five cents in one pocket
while at the same time extracting
% cents from another pocket is a
form of legalized pilfering which
the farmer will not fail to under
stand. He is already wise to the
operation through multiplied exper-
fences"
