Washington, December 3-There is
an old-fashioned saying that politics
is the science of exigencies." 1t has
never been better exemplified than in
the session of Congress which opened
here this week. The programs of the
various factions indicate that the leg
islative Body will be absorbed in trad
ing and compromise. The atmosphere
is charged with suspicion as to real
motives back of legislative measures
which have been dumped into the
hopper
The prediction is freely circulated
that only small percentage OF the
recommendations for legislation adj
vocated by President Hoover will come
to his desk for signing. Even then his
ideas may be sadly patched and bat
tered in their final clothing after Con-
gressional committees have their way.
Between now and the Christmas holt
day recess the hardest workers in
Washington will be the official ste
nographers reporting debates.
Many legislators have been prepar-
ing speeches for weeks. The Congress
sional Record which, next to the
wastebasket, is the final repository of
this printed oratory will be taxed for
space. Some campaign propaganda
which local papers refused and other
messages intended for the constituents
will be found among the extension
of remarks" or speechless speeches.

SAD IN DEATH
Mrs. III. Victor E. SwensOn SuccumbS
Monday to Heart Trouble at
Age OF % Years.

Sadness gripped the Oak Lake COM
munity and Kerrick township Monday
morning when it was made known
away at 1915 a. m. that morning.
Mrs. Swenson had been in failing
health since early in the summer
when she suffered an attack of stom-
ach flu which was followed by other
complications, finally resulting in
heart trouble which was the direct
cause of her death. During the sum-
mer she spent sometime in a Duluth
hospital receiving treatments and was
later treated in the Moose Lake hos
pital until about three weeks ago
when she returned to the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Ander-
son of Kerrick township where she
died.
Death, with its fatal sting. visited
this happy home and took from it
the bud of young womanhood, a %
year-old mother from sOrrowing hus-
band and an IS months old son. Mrs.
Swenson was much loved by her
neighbors and companions from child
hood. She was confirmed and brought
up church member in the Swedish
Lutheran belief She was active in
church circles and for sometime past
had been organist in the Oak Lake
Swedish Lutheran church near her
home. and was an active and ener-
getic member of the Luther League.
Was Born in Pine County.
Clare Josephine Anderson was born
to Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Anderson
at their Kerrick township home on
Sept. 20. 1908, and at the time of her
death was 90 years, 2 months, and
IL days of age. Her parents, pioneers
of Pine county, educated her in high
school after which she spent three
months following her graduation from
the Moose Lake high school in 1927
taking nurses training in the Swedish
| hospital in Minneapolis. She was
| married to H. Victor E. Swenson or
June 90, 1928, and has since made
her home on the farm in the Oak Lake
community. One infant son, Elmer
Victor, Is months old, was born tC
their union and survives with his ia
Their as do the parents of the deceased
three brothers and one sister: George
at home, Carl and Arne attending the
agricultural department of the vi.
versity of Minnesota. and Jenne at.
tending the Denfeld high school in
Duluth.
The funeral will be held this after.
noon Thursday at one o'clock from
the Anderson home and at two O'Clock
from the Oak Lake church with burial
being made in the Oak Lake cemetery
The Rev. Chas. S. Rydell will officiate
at the funeral. Pallbearers will
likely be chosen from residents of the
community.
H. Victor E. Swenson, the deceaseds
husband, has been in the county for
approximately ten years and has writ
ten news from the Oak Lake commun-
ity for the Askov American for nearly
that long.
The neighbors and friends will join
with the American in extending him
and other relatives deep sympathy.

Selma LagerlOef's Influence.
1t is learned from Stockholm that
this years literary Nobel prize wen,
to the United States (Sinclair Lewis)
as a direct result of the suggestion
and the influence of the world-famous
Swedish novelist Selma Lagerloef, her
self member of the Swedish Academy
which makes the awards. Miss Lager
loef is said to have expressed the
thought that American literature now
had become an important factor in
the cultural life of the world. and
that such fact ought to be signally
recognized. Apparently, the other
members of the Academy have agreed
with her.
No Chance!
During recent months the daily
press has revived several rumors to

In the Stock Market
(BY Thomson & McKlnnonl

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Undoubt-
edly much of the disappointment
in evidence of the financial COM
nlunity at the moment has had its
origin in the wheat and copper
situations. It is not so much the
extent of the price declines as the
lack Of stability, due to the con-
Stantly increasing commercial sup
plies.
However, the economic law is
functioning. We should be some
where near a turning point. Once
that point is reached improvement
may be more rapid than we think.
In wheat our exports to date since
July 1 exceed those of a year ago
by 100000 bushels, representing
an increase Of SIS per cent. To al
low consumption to catch up, it is
reported several copper companies
plan to shut down large properties.
That unsatisfactory situations do
remedy themselves is indicated by
another advance in wholesale gaso-
line prices.
The advance from the low price
of the year in the midwest territory
amounts to more than a cent
gallon. 1t Is encouraging to note
the favorable outlook for general
business voiced by several railroad
executives. Patient optimism in the
stock market may be as difficult to
exercise at this time as was caution
and conservatism year ago. Never
thelesS, we are confident that it will
be profltably rewarded.

HOLD FIVE FOR
BOND ROBBERY
Nearly Two Million Thefts
Laid to Gang.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Accused
of the theft of more than 81, 900, 900
in bonds from New York banks and
brokers, five members of a gang
were in the police lineup today.
Appearing more like prosperous
business men than thieves, the men
were indignant at the scrutiny of
police and detectives. They were
Samuel Borden, 30, alleged leader
of the ring; Harry Griffin, 81;
Thomas Thompson, 46, and Mason
Wilson, who said they were bro
kerS, and Sydney Gottlieb, 30, who
said he was a salesman.
Assistant District Attorney Gar
riSon says that three of the alleged
gang have confessed, and that their
confessions indicate that the total
loot might be "as much as
$1,000 000."
Garrison says the gang has COM
mltted bond robbery after bond rob-
berry in recent months by waiting in
shirtsleeves in bank and brokerage
offices and receiving bond deliver
les as authorized clerks.
