PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE

now that they see victory within their reach For
years these people have been proclaiming to the
world tales OF American imperialism and oppression.
They have given us credit for establishing law
and order in the islands, neither do they thank us
for giving them modern systems sanitation roads
and schools. During the thrty-two years that we
have been in the islands they have done everything
possible to block and defeat efforts in their be-

is a definite demand the part of American agri-

SAUK CENTRES SINCERE TRIBUTE

In the issue of the High School Annual
O-Sa-Ge, in commemOration of the celebra-
ton of the Golden Jubilee Anniversary of
the Sank Centre High School, Sinclair Lewis,
noted author, and graduate of the local
school "way back yonder," contributed an
article to the Annual entitled ''The Long Arm
OF the Small Town." which has been widely
quoted by the editorial writer's of the coun-
try. In this article Mr.. Lewis says he would
choose Minnesota prairie town against
any other place in the world" to spend his
boyhood. Tuesday evenings ST. Paul Dis
patch had the following comment on Mr.
Lewis and Sank Centre:

hood but not so Sinclair Lewis, the novelist and
former Sank Centre boy. He would choose a
Minnesota prairie town for Second boyhood"
against any other place in the world
The golden jubilee of Sank Centre High School
is made more golden by the Noble prize win
ner's contribution to the school annual, "O-Sa-
&C." This article, entitled, "The Long Arm of
the Small Town." is in praise of Midwestern COM
munities in general and Sank Centre, his boy
hood home, III particular. He recalls the fishing
and swimming in Sank Lake, the picnics at Fairy
Lake, October tramps with shotgun his arm,
sliding on Hoboken Hill stealing melons, and
listening to the wonder of an elocutionist at the

Shipstead Asks Building
Stone Buying Inquiry
Charges of Collision by Purveyors
of Material Claimed at
Capital

Washington, May 29-The time
honored war in and out of congress
between the Indiana limestone
Bloc" Is to be a subject of inquiry
by the federal trade commission.
The commission announced that it
was about to undertake a thorough
investigation Of the building mater
ial industry and in particular those
phases of the industry involved in
the letting of government contracts
for public buildings.
And the scrap between the pur-
iveyors Of the three building stones
and the geographic groups support
ing them is to furnish, it is prom
ised, one of the principal fields to
be looked into.
That this would be the case was
verified by Senator Henrik Ship
stead. Minnesota's farmer-labor
member in the upper house. whose
resolution, passed just before the
close Of the last session of con-
gress, supplied the force which set
the trade commissions investigat-
ing machinery in motion.
Senator Shipstead said he intro
duced the resolution because of
complaints, seemingly aimed at the
handling of contracts by the gov
eminent itself, that specifications
for buildings were so framed that
they unfairly limited the sources
from which materials could come.
