FORMER ASKOVITE
NOW IN ROCHESTER
Harold Thompson, Formerly Member
of the Ferndale Nursery,
Makes Good.

Many readers of the American will
remember Mr.. and Mrs. Harold
Thompson who moved to Askov sew
eral years ago from Albert Lea with
the intention that Mr.. Thompson was
to become a member of the Ferndale
Nursery. After working at the nurs-
cry some months the desired plans
and arrangements could not be real
lied and as consequence Mr.. Thomp-
SON and family moved to Rochester.
The Thompson family is now per-
manently located there and their
friends here will he pleased to read
the following, taken from the Roches-
ter Post-Bulletin of April 25:
THAT old expression, April show
ers bring May flowers" is all right
for home gardens but if a commercial
florist were to wait just for rain to
bring out flowers for customers, there
would be disappointments for many
people who enjoy their beauty and
fragrance.
Such was the remark today of Har-
old Thompson, manager for Holm and
Olson, Inc, Rochester florists. This
firm, which is among the leading
floral firms of the Northwest, has one
of the largest and finest greenhouses
in southeastern Minnesota. Estab-
lished in December, 1927, the COM
pany specializes in cut flowers of all
varieties, although it also handles
thousands of ferns and plants each
year in supplying the needs of its
customers.
"The company is actively engaged in
preparations at this time for May
sales, which will include two events
calling for thousands of dollars worth
of their flowers and plants. One oc-
cation is Mothers day, which occurs
on Sunday, May 10. Orders already
have been received at the firms Of
fees for many special bouquets to be
delivered to Rochester women whose
sons and daughters wish to remember
them with flowers.
1.-THE firm, after filling Mothers
day orders, will have another busy
fortnight in preparation for the US
ual demands made for floral pieces
to be delivered the week preceding
and including May 80, Memorial day.
No matter how great the requests
may be for floral decorations on the
two occasions, coming so closely to-
gether, Holm and Olson company's
greenhouse, officials said, is large in
size and filled with many varieties
of flowers, and will be able to sup
ply the requirements of the most
discriminating even for days after the
holiday rush.

"Hell's Angels" three years ago, when
he determined to create the most
lavish and realistic film-drama ever
attempted. Critics everywhere agree
he has accomplished his aims, and
today he is the most spectacular and
colorful individuality in the film in
dustry.
Exactly 81 airplanes of true war

filming of ''Hell's Angels" and in one
scene alone SO planes are shown in
action simultaneously on the screen.

F|L|P|NOS TO FIGHT
FOR FREE TRADE.
Agriculture Wants Economic
as Well as Political
Independence.

BY the Associated Press.
Agricultural interests are deeply con-
cerned whether independence for the
Philippine Islands would mean e:o-

They heard that program for in
dependence of some kind is virtually as
sured by reason of Democratic control

pared to fight for free trade With the

years
At least 85 per cent of all imports
from The islands, estimated at about
Sll5.00OO 900 annually, competes with
domestic agriculture. The United
States now takes about three-fourthS OF
all Philippine exports, whereas 1t took
only onc-third in 1918. The products
are duty free.
Political autonomy for the islands
always has been interpreted by agrlcul-
ture as an opportunity to place a tarlH
barrier against their products. Unless
economic as well as political independ-
ence be granted, farm leaders say they
Will insist on at least limiting Lhe
amount of imports-chietly those of
coconut oil and copra which compete
with dairy products and animal fats,
and sugar.
In the last IS years the importation
OF cocOnut oil and cOpra which Is 90
per cent oil, has increased from 1000
600 pounds annually to l,000,0OO,OOO
pounds. The potential threat Of Philip
pine oils is that only per cent OF the
total area adapted to coconut palm
production now is in use.
So far the tax on oleomargarine, in
stitute- on June 3, 1881, has been the
American farmers only weapon against
coconut oil. which is the main ingre-

REVAMPED PARKS WILL GIVE
WHITE HOUSE VISTAS IN FALL
Mcpherson and Farragut Squares Are Redesigned With
Straight Walks, New Benches and Trees Removed.

Two of Washington's parks near the
White HouSe-McPherson Square, at
Fifteenth, and K streets and Vermont
avenue, and FaWagut Square, at Seven
tenth, and K streets and Connect
cut avenue-have just been redesigned
under policy approved. by Lieut.. Col.
U. S. Grant, Sd, director of public
buildings and public parks.
The old, rusticlike, curved walks, be-
meath shady trees, have given way to
treatment providing for sidewalks that
run from corner to corner, in straight
lines parallel to the avenues that "criss-
cross" the squares. The trees that
were shading the statues in the centers
Of the two parks have been removed, so
that now there are clear vistas through
both parks.
Oficials of the Office Of Public Build
ingS and Public Parks explained today
that the crooked walks were doomed to
60, because the public insisted on cut
ting corners and walking over grass
plots. AS result, the new policy of
straight walks was decided upon to
save the grass, shrubs, flowers and the
public's time.
This Fall, when the leaves thin out
on the trees, persons walking down

1.5e acres In extent.
Frank T. GartSide, chief Of the park

trees have shaded the lawns near the
statue, but now that they have been
removed, some to Anacostia Park and
others elsewhere, flower beds are being
arranged to beautify this spot, near the
Veterans Bureau. The parks have been
newly seeded, to compensate for dam
age occasioned by the drought.
A new type of park bench has been
placed in the two parks, with provision
for anchoring them in concrete, to pre-
vent the public from shifting them

"Hatred" Caused Him
to Cut Payments.

BY the Associated Press.
CARSON CITY, New, May 29.-The
Nevada Supreme Court Is expected ito
act shortly on Grace Heggar Lewis ap-
peal from a District Court order reduc-
ing the monthly alimony payments of
her former husband, Sinclair Lewis,
author.
The court has until June to return
its decision on the District Courts &C
ton in reducing the original alimony
of 81 1000 monthly to an allowance of
5000 a month and further payments, If
any, to make up a sum equal to one
fourth of Lewis gross annual income up
to $4,000.
She obtained a divorce in Reno from
the author April 16, 1928. They were
married April is, 1914. Mrs. Lewis
was given custody of their son.
A month later Lewis married Dorothy
Thompson American newspaper cor
respondent, In London.
Cut Laid to Hatred"
Mrs. Lewis appeal charges that Lewis
had the alimony payments reduced be-
cause of "a change of feeling and atti-
tude" toward her and his hatred, re-
sentiment and antipathy for her rather
than any falling off of his income"
To emphasize. the change of atti-
tude," it quotes from letter the au-
thor wrote to his wife on February 6,
1928, after unhappy differences" had
caused them to separate. It read:
