VETS GAIN SIX
IN MINNESOTA.
DELEGATION

The most pronounced change In
sentiment on the prohibition queS-
ton in years was disclosed today
when nine Of ten Minnesota men,
berS Of the House Of Representa-
tiveS were recorded in sympathy
with q referendum on the Eight
cen Amendment.
The delegation, until recently,
has had but three avowed vets,
the present situation disclosing q
net gain of six for the referendum
advocates.
The majority of the delegation,
however, is against modification
of the Volstead law at present.
The first step in Congressional
action on the prohibition QueS'
ton, they hold, is to obtain q
vote of the people.
Following the statement Of Rep
resentative Andersen CRO OF
Minnesota, who had remained
"open minded" on the question.
Representatives Selvig, Clague and
Nolan, all Republicans, said they
would refer the question to the
people.
Representative Goodwin Is now
the only member of the delegation
who has refused to take a stand
in favor of the referendum.

Senator Hatfield Contributes

A merrier party cannot be imagined
than the sixteenth apple ginger
bread feast that will be celebrated by
the West Virginia Society Wednesday
evening from 8 to IL o'clock, in the
ball room of the Meridian Mansions
Hotel 2400 Sixteenth street northwest.
to which all West VirginianS and their

tionS of the Society'S activities during
its Fall and Winter season. All the
products used at the party are TYPICAL
ly West Virginian, the cider coming
from the famous Apple Pie Ridge sec
ton of Berkley County. as well as the
apples and ginger bread. However, for
this year, the apples will be furnished
by Senator Hatfield from his private
orchard.
In point of enthusiasm and local
pride, it would be difficult to find a
State group surprising the West Vir-
ginians. The monthly meetings are
held on the first Wednesday of each
month in the ball room of the Meridian
Mansions Hotel and are we'll attended.
All meetings are opened by singing
The West Virginia Hills the words
being written by Mrs Ellen King and

"Yes, Cuba is distressed economi-
cally," she admitted when asked about
her country. Our main product is
sugar-and when that Is ruined by uni
verSally high tariffs, we are ruined. too.
There is terrific damage everywhere.
The governmental budget has been cut
in half-and only those people who are
fortunate enough to have governmental
positions really have any employment. ="
And what of the revolutionary at
tempts against President Machado's ad-
miniStration?" she was questioned.
Cuba is as young a nation" she re-
piled, but what she needs mainly is the
necessity Of the world at large-good,
sound thinking at home ana abroad.
Our people would be wise if willing to
take hold of themselves and cultivate
the spirit of cooperation: a wholesome
faith whereby superf1uous pessimism
and failings are banished forever. Toll
erance and good will among brethren of
course is conducive to peace where
prosperity flourisheS
1T is the same story that we might
find any other place. When people are
out of work and have no money to buy
food and clothing they become un-
happy. They demand that the govern
ment take drastic steps which they
think will relieve the suffering, but
which, many times, would mean greater
disaster. President Machado has very
difficult time trying to steady the coun-
try in this period of crisis"

What can be done to restore normal
conditions?' was the next question put
to her.
That's difficult to say" she replied.
Something will have to be done to
build up our sugar industry. Until
then the sole means of our existence
rests in the tourist trade which the
Winter season brings"
And she pointed to the lure of balmy
days and tropical vendure which draws
thousands each Winter from the cold
lands of the North

seen in a full-length production Of
their own in Pardon Us" which

even without specially prepared

through an amusing trayesty OF
the typical prison melodrama.
Laurel, with his baby-faced pout
and helpless gestures. is as mimi

removed, it turns out TO be the
wrong one and the dentist Is the
first to get the 'razz" again.
