More or Less True


 The reason we don't need attics these days is because the old Junk the women now don't want around they give as bridge prizes instead of storing it.
 There's many a time when a waitress carries something back to the kitchen she knows darn well wouldn't go back if it had been the mans wife who had set it down in front of him.
 The reason an old-timer can't see this betting in the rumble seat is because in his younger days that kind of counting wasn't started un- til the lights had been turned as low as possible.
 The only woman having as hard and unhappy time as woman trying to get rid of bad name is one trying to get rid of fat.
 You can't always tell from ap- pearances. A husband who looks like he had been won as a booby prize at bridge game may be a thousand times better meal ticket than the one who looks like he had been bought in an expensive gift shop.

Minnesota Highway Patrol
Receiving Good Support
Motorists Ready to Help Prevent
Accidents, Chief of State Traffic
Squad Asserts

Appreciation of the cooperation
and support given the Minnesota
State Highway patrol during it's
first two months of active work, is
expressed in a statement issued to-
day by Earle Brown, chief of the
patrol division of the State High
way department.
Cali of the men in the patrol have
reported that they have almost
everywhere received effective CO.
operation from the motoring pub
lie and from town and county of
ficials," said Mr.. Brown. 1--WE
have found that the public gener-
ally is wide awake to the need of
doing something to reduce the
number of accidents and make
driving on the highways safer, and
they are generally glad and willing
to do their part. In the two
months they have been on the road
the patrolmen have found it neces-
sary to stop and caution a great
many drivers, but in nearly every
case a warning is all that is nee
essary. The average driver realizes
that when he neglects to obey the
traffic rules he is endangering
himself as much as others, and he
is ready to correct his driving hab-
its when it is called to his atten-
ton.

Sank Centre Golfers
DeteatLong Prairie
Additional Yardage, Grass Greens,
Too Big Handicap for Visitors
to Overcome

The Sank Centre golfers obtained
sweet revenge on their Long Prai-
RE neighbors in the inter-city
tournament at the Country Club
links in this city Sunday. There
were seven foursomes competing
over 1S holes.
The Nassau system of scoring
was used. Under this plan the
most any foursome can win is three
points; one on each nine and one
for low total scores on the Is
holes.
Major Wilbur Miller and Capt. C.
D. Chrysler defeated Capt Roy
Scott and Bernard Schoenhoff on
the 18th hole giving the visitors a
two-point margin, the only visiting
team scoring victory. The final
score was Sank Centre 16, Long
Prairie two.
Walter Moynihan was medalist
with 76, two over par. His partner,
H. A. Falk, was runner-up with 83.
The additional 400 yards distance
and the large perfect grass greens
were too heavy a handicap for the
visitors to overcome. They are a
splendid bunch of gentlemen. The
following are the individual scores.

Drunken Men Run Into Parked
Car Near Herman-Victim Has
Narrow Escape from Death

Ray Strong, of this city, who has
been at Herman, Mimi, for some
time, had a narrow escape from
death last Saturday night, when
two drunken men ran into his car.
Mr.. Strong had had trouble with
his lights and had driven to the
side of the road to repair them,
when his two nephews who were
with him saw car come careen-
ing down the road. The boys saw
the impending danger and went to
the center of the road. They also
warned their uncle to jump, which
probably saved his life for had he
remained in front of the car he
would surely have been killed.
Mr.. Strong was thrown a consid-
cradle distance and landed on his
face. He was badly bruiseds and
cut and was picked up in an un-
conscious condition. For short
thine after the accident his condi-
ton was serious and hopes for his
recovery were negative.
At the present time Mr.. Strong
is well on the way to recovery.
Those who saw the cars say it was
a miracle that the victims escaped
so luckily. Neither of the two men,
who were intoxicated, were in
jured. They were young men from
Wheaton.

TARIFF IS PLACED
BEFORE SENATE
SmOOt Bill Will Have Rough
Road as Opposition Will
Be Strenuous
OPPONENTS TO CONFER
Battle Will Start in Earnest
SOOn-FlOrida Demands
Increases on Fruits

Washington, Sept. 4. = The re-
vised Republican tariff bill was
placed formally before the senate
today but initial clashes between
advocates and opponents were de-
ferred after less than a half-hour
session.
Coming back to start the first
general tariff legislation in seven
years on its way to final enact
ment, IS senators answered to the
first roll call since the summer re-
cess was taken in June to permit
the finance committee to draw up
amendments to the bill passed
May % by the house.
First batch of resolutions and
nominations, the latter including
those of the farm board, were of
fered and referred to committees.
Chairman Smoot then introduced
the tariff measure, submitting
along with it the exhaustive ma
jority report of the finance COM
mittee. This details the reason for
many of the rate and administrat-
i've changes in the bill proposed by
the committee Republicans.
An agreement was reached to
make the bill the unfinished bust.
ness for tomorrow. If no senators
are ready to make speeches then
party leaders said, adjournment
would be taken until Monday.
Meanwhile, the Democrats and
Republican Independents will give
further study to parliamentary pro-
cedure to determine the Fest way
to proceed with resolution of the
minority and western Republicans
were in, evidence on the foor dur
ing today's brief meeting.
Should the resolution of Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma,
to strike out all but the agricultur-
al schedule of the bill be with
drawn or defeated, it was limited
that the Republican independents
would move to recommit the bill
with instructions to report an ex-
elusive farm revision measure.
While Senator Thomas was out Of
the city and his intentions were
not known, it appears possible that
he would be prevailed upon to
withdraw his resolution in view Of
its doubtful parliamentary status
Generally speaking, the Democrats
support motions to recommit..
The first notice of opposition to-
the bill on the floor was served by
Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, who is at the Democratic
helm for the tariff debate. He said
the fact that the minority would
not file a separate report did not
mean they were not thoroughly
opposed" to the measure.
One of the unusual incidents Of
the session was the offering by a.
Democrat, Trammell of Florida, Of
seven amendments to increase tar
ifs on various fruits and vege-
tables.
