Washington Stirred Up
Over Van Buren's Coach

Van Buren, arrived in, Washing

week Of the session, it being tradi-
tional for the Vice President to alb

mittees had been appointed. On
taking the chair on Monday, De-

utterance as the second officer Of
the land. 1t was short and one
such as others before and after
him have made; totally devoid Of
significance. 1t provoked no COM
ment; but the coach he had brought
over from England did. The ad-
verse journals described it as an
English coach of state-"a very
splendid carriage, drawn by two
beautiful blooded horses, their
heads and tails full of a great deal
more of intellect, passion, feeling
and sublimity than their owner.

was 176 acres and the average net
return to the projectors for their
labors and management was 81, 1865.
This amount represented what was
left after allowance had been made
for all expenses, including the value
of unpaid family labor and five>per
cent interest on the investment.
AS in 1928, the records showed a
wide range in the financial returns,
amounting to nearly $500 in 1929.
Some farmers not only received no
return for their work, but
their records showed considerable
losses. One of the more important
reasons for these variations in earn
ings was found to be the influence
of the size of business. A large bust
ness not only provides a large vol
ume of salable products but also
makes a more efficient use of labor,
power and equipment. Size of bust
ness depends not only on number of
acres per farm, but more particu-
larly on the number of productive
work units provided by the farming
system. Thirteen farmers averaging
1920 work units for the year made
average earnings of $294S, while
II farms averaging 230 work units
average only $S49 in earnings.
Increasing the amount of live
stock per hundred acres increases
the size of business and to that
extent tends to increase earnings.
In the farms studied it appeared
that about rs head per hundred
acres was the most profitable
amount.
AS rule high crop yields tend to
reduce the cost of production, UNI

Polly

Polly Parrot would feel so happy
when the keeper would pet her and
pay her attention.
She would do many tricks which
would delight the keeper and his
visitors.
1t was the middle of the day and
Polly Parrot had been talking of
the difference between zoo life and
life where they were free.
To be sure Polly Parrot had no
desire for any other life but the
one she was leading.
"Pye never been anywhere but
IN the zoo," said Patsy Parrot.
'That is, l was brought here when

"You sit at the top of your cage
when you hear the rain pattering
on the roof and you spread your
wings out to catch the rain.
"You don't seem to understand
that the rain can't come through
the roof.
"And the same thing is true Of
the parrots who know nothing, alb
sOlutely nothing, about the wild life.
''I've often heard a keeper tell
ing people about this and asking
them if they didn't think it was
strange that we acted the same
way in a rainstorm as though we
were free, even though we should
know by this time that rain never

Wide Use of Amulets

Amulets, writes Frank II. VIE
telly, editor of the New Standard
dictionary, were used once not only
for the protection of men and wom-
en-, but also of cattle. The So
called Antonius medallions were
very much in demand for this pur-
pose and were hung upon horses,
asses and oxen, for Antony of Padua
had been the patron of the horse
and the ass in his day. Cowbells,
like bells hung upon infants, were
intended originally 10 brighten away
evil spirits, and their use in later
times to help the herdsmen to trace
the cattle or identify their beasts
is a much later idea. Charms
against charms also were worn.

$500, 900, 900 Measure Is

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Repub-
hcan leaders observed a holiday to-
DAY after making plans to push the
5000, 900, 700 Smoot-Hawley tariff
measure through the senate next
week.
Democrats privately admitted they
had gained no advantage by the
latest change which has restored
almost all Of the existing revising
power of the President and the
tariff commission through the
flexible provision.
Without enough votes to over
throw the Republican bill, DEM
ocratic leaders say they. neverthe-
less, will fight at least a week be-
fore permitting the measure to pass
over their objections. A final SEN
ate vote is expected week from
Saturday.
The week Of debate will be de-
voted to placing campaign argu-
ments in the congressional record
for use when the tariff conflict is
transferred from congress to the
political stump in the congressional
primaries and elections.
Already legislators have their eyes
on Iowa where the tariff issue may
play substantial part in the SEN
atorial primary voting Monday.
According to reports reaching
here the two Republicans fighting
for the senatorial nomination have
been debating the tariff issue. Rep

CONSTRUCTION ON NO.
20 WILL START SOON

Work on reconstructing Trunk
Highway No. 20 between Sleepy Eye
and Fairfax will stat soon and like
ly to continue all winter, says the
Morgan Messenger.
Contract for this job was let by the
State Highway Commissioner to R.
P. England of Mitchell, So. Dak., for
the sum of $156,9S7. The contract
calls for the excavation of approx
mately 65s,000 cubic yards over a
distance of 17.3 miles.
At the same time the Minneapolis
Bridge Co., secured the contract for
the bridge over the Minnesota river
on No. 20. 1t will be a four span
steel truss bridge 40 feet long. The
bid was S49,S00.
No. 20 will be new construction
practically all of the way, yet the
new road will not be over mile from
the old route any of the way and
much of the way will be still closer.
However, the present temporary
route has 33 sharp turns which are
to be eliminated by straight road
with a few easy curves.
