Washington, January 2O-lt is to
the credit of the Congress that emer-
gency legislation so essential to ma
tional welfare has been enacted with
reasonable minimum of partisan
wrangling and pleasing display of
speed. With a few minor exceptions
the Senate and House have cleaned
the calendars of urgent measures
without undue demand that their par
tisan stamps should be imprinted
thereon. The glory-grabbing will come

Months ago we recorded here that
the new Congress returned to Wash

ly sensible of the grave responsible
ties that accompanied their election
to high office. The relatively prompt
enactment of relief measures bears a
mute testimonial to the disciplinary
effect of deplOrable unemployment

College President Quits.
DR.. Oscar l.. Olson, president of
Luther College, DEBORAH, Iowa, has
filed his resignation as a result of the
attitude of the board of education of
the Norwegian Lutheran Church of
America toward co-educatiOn at the
school. DR.. Olson had come to the
conclusion that inauguration of CO.
education would mean economic sal
walton of the more than 7O-year old
institution, and as he realized that
opposition to this plan was very de-
termined, he readily accepted the
suggestion of the synod officials that
he withdraw from the position which
he has held for more than ten years
From 1901 to 1921 he was a member
of the schools faculty, and has been
president since 1921.

BRUNO CONSIDERS
SCHOOL QUESTION
Forty three FreehOlderS Sign Peti.
ton to Join UnOrganized District
Following Meeting.

About 100 people were present at
the meeting in the Bruno school
house, district No. "a, Saturday after
noon when the ACCESSIBILITY of the dis
trict becoming a part of the unOr-
ganized school district of the county
was discussed. 1t was an enthusiastic
meeting with many questions being
directed to County Superintendent of
Schools Jens P Miller who explained
the change that might be adopted
AS has been brought out in discus
sions in different parts of the county
where this matter has been taken up,
it lessons home rule somewhat but
there will be more financial benefits
accruinS to the school through the
supplemental state aid and likely also
a saving through elimination of dupli-
cation of work and less teachers
where two or more schools go together
on the unOrganized plan. The meet
ing at Bruno apparently was very
much in favor of joining the unor-
ganized district for no less than 43
voting freeholders signed the petition
for the change. The petition which
will likely be presented to the board
of county commissioners on February
4th is being further circulated to get
as many signatures as possible. 1t
requires a majority of the voting
freeholders of the district. There are
about so voting freeholders in district
No. 81. Nels Lindh is chairman of
the school board; j. ~ Wahlstrom
clerk: F. S. Fairchild, treasurer; and
the directors are l.. r. Churchill, Will
liam Tabery, and Anchor Storebo.

There is some question whether

DAN had been right about his
II efforts at housekeeping. In
spired though they were by high
motives, the results were question:
able. He certainly had failed TO
get rid Of all the dust"
Cherry was at work early next
morning. She wore an old dress
that was ruined for any other pur-
pose, rolled up her sleeves and tied
a towel about her head.
For an hour she welded broom
vigorously. Then with a pail OF
warm, soapy water she began to
WASH woodwork. She just had fin
ished scrubbing the floor Of the
bathroom when the ringing Of the
bell indicated that some one down
stairs wanted to see her.
Cautiously Cherry looked over the
bannister.
ooh. Martin" she called, Il had
no idea it was so late! If you'll
wait just a few minutes I'll hurry!"
She darted back into the apart
ment, threw off the disreputable
dress and dashed water on her face.
Then minutes later she came run
ming down the stairs.
Martin, dignifed as always,
helped her into the car and closed
the door after her.
Cherry enjoyed the drive. She
found her mother sitting in the big
chair before a window Of her bed
room.
A bowl Of roses from her garden
filed the room with their spicy
perfume. There was sunshine out
side, but the bedroom was cool and
lowered awnings kept out the glare
of the sun.
Mrs. Dixon was smiling as Cherry
entered. The nurse slipped away
and left them together. They were
talking of inconsequential subjects
when, in the midst of a sentence,
Mrs. Dixon's words broke off.

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

"CROONER," by Rian James,
~ will be interesting to a lot of
people because they will think they
recognize in it's central character
a certain famous radio star.
1t will be interesting to others be-
cause it shows how good press
agent can build a nobody up into a
famous somebody.
The story tells about jazz band
leader who plays in q New York
night club. One night his cornetist,
who sings as sideline, is i'll.
The leader looks around des-
perately for another singer, can find
none, and at last sings the songs
himself-not because he thinks he
has voice, but because the songs
have to be sung and there is no one
else to do 1t.
His voice being too weak to carry,
he sings through megaphone.
A slick press agent spots him and
decides that he has possibilities.
There is an interview, a contract is
signed-and before long the young
band leader is becoming famous.
He gets radio contracts; his press
agent hires three Stenographers to
write several thousand letters to the
radio station; the gossip columnlstS
start mentioning him
And one day the young chap dis
covers he is one of the most talked
about men in America, and one OF
the most highly-paid.
Mr.. James is rather bitter about
the whole racket. His band leader
is stupid and conceited, his press
agent is a constituencies chiseler, his
minor characters are chiefly a
bunch of. rats.
Whether he has sketched his
radio singer from life I know not
but it is obvious that the scene it
self is taken from life.
The seamiest side of Broadway is
presented here-presented tersely
and sardonically. And the upshot
is a pretty good book.
"Crooner" is published by Alfred
H. Kink, Inc, and costs So.

the girl thought restlessly. There
was a big clock in the window of a
jewelry store across the street. It's
hands pointed to a quarter of 8.
She scanned the street in both
directions. There was no Dan in
sight.
If he doesn't come in five min
utes," she decided, I'D better call
the Office. OF course if anything's
happened, he knows he hasn't any
way to reach me-"
Deliberately Cherry turned her
back on the clock. She watched
the boy with the flowers sell bou-
quet to slim, stoop-shouldered
man with white hair. No other
customers came to buy. The boy
looked up and down the street and
then moved away.
Cherry swung around. No, Dan
was not in sight yet. Then she
saw him. He was crossing the
street, coming toward her and at
his side was a girl in white.
She wore a white hat and white
shoes. Her head was thrown back
and she was looking up at Dan and
laughing.
Jealousy, white hot and scorch-
ing, famed UP in Cherrys heart.
Who was this girl and what right
had she to be laughing like that
and swinging along beside Dan?
With sudden and unreasoning
anger, Cherry resented this other
girl.
