Washington, June 15.-Provided it
is true that fear adds wings to the
heels, Congress will break camp with
in a week. The increasing hordes of
bonus petitioners with their ominous
possibilities have stifled what might
have been a prolonged political har-
angue on a number of partisan issues.
There is no doubt that the melan-
choly scene of marching zealots de-
manding relief has cast spell over
the legislative body. The parleys
with the bonus expeditionary force
have been decidedly awkward to the
Senators and Representatives 1t is
generally recognized that the Public
Treasury is not in a position to alb
sorbs the two billions asked for a
bonus. Sympathy is shifting an
chorage for political mariners. Prom
Uses of votes for the bonus without
an actual test may bring troublesome
explanations in their home district
this fall.
The various relief measures now
pending in Congress are handled gin
gerly as lighted bomb. In extend
ing government aid to the unemployed
it is claimed by the more deliberative
minds here that consideration has
been given to all factors with the
single exception of the taxpayer. It
is proposed to appropriate two bill
lions from Federal pocketbook that

BROOK PARKLADY
is LAID AT REST
Mrs. Joseph Harapat Was One of
Real Pioneers of Community
Leaves Husband, Six Sons.

Mrs. Joseph Harapat of Brook Park
passed away on Wednesday, June 8, at
her home in Brook Park, after an
illness of several years.
Funeral services were held at the
home at p. m. Saturday with the
Rev. F. B. Matlach of ST. Paul, Of
floating. Burial was made in the
Brook Park cemetery with the pail
bearers being her six sons.
Marie Koura was born in Bohemia
April %, 1876, and at the age of
fourteen she came with her parents
to America where the family settled
in Chicago. There she attended school
and when % years of age was married
to Joseph Harapat on February Is,
1896. The couple lived in Chicago
until 1902 and then moved to a farm
near Brook Park where they have re-
sided since. Mrs. Harapat was truly
a pioneer woman helping to build the
community in which she lived by hard
and conscientious work. In the
earliest stages of the country when
she came here, she worked shoulder
to shoulder with her husband to carve
a home out of the wilderness. She
was a kind and devoted wife and
mother, a hard worker and friend
to all.
The deceased is survived by her
husband, Joseph Harapat, and six
sons, Frank of Park Rapids; Joe of
Brook Park; Fred of Odessa; and Ben,
Charley and John at home. A brother,
B. Koura also survives her. Friends
will join in extending sympathy to
the Borrowing family in its loss of a
good wife and mother

Standings of the Teams.

Markville tipped over its last I'M
defeated opponent in the race for the
championship of the first half base
ball schedule of Pine county Sunday
when it won from Willow River 4 to 8.
The Markville-ites held the Willow
sluggers scoreless in all the innings
except the fifth when they punched
all their scores. Markville was out
hit throughout the game IL to 10 but
its pitchers kept the hits of the WISH
tors scattered while the eastern boys
punched their own.
The race now centers around four
teams, anyone of which might come
in under the wire to take the first
half championship. 1t is not a one
or two team race by any means and
Brook Park is showing considerable
strength, keeping close up with the
leaders.
Sturgeon Lake won from Sandstone
Is to 5 after trailing for an inning
or two, after which the boys from
the northern end of the county
fell upon the Sandstone pitcher
for total of IA hits. Brook Park
shut out Moose Lake 3 to and in this
case it is apparent that it was too
much Westerman, the Brook Park
pitcher who let the visitors down
with only one hit. Westerman pitched
no-hit game against Sandstone
earlier in the season. In Sundays
contest he struck out Is men. The
Pine City-Finlayson game was rained
out.
Following is the box score of the
games played:
MarkVille 4: Willow River 3.

OVER 1000
PETITIONERS
Frazier Farm Refinance Bill
is Wanted Generally
by Citizens.
Lower Interest Rates is De-
clared Paramount Need
of Farmers.

With So signers on the petition
to Congress for enactment of the
Frazier refinancing farm bill pub
lished in the Askov American up to
last week and with several hundred
week, the list of names runs well over
1000.
Many lists have been received the
past week with one, two or up to a
half dozen signers, showing that hun
dreds of individuals are concerned
about this proposed legislation, that
they are very much in earnest about
II and want Congress to be informed
on their desires. Some lists have
been signed up at picnics and other
gatherings where the Frazier bill has
been discussed. Letters received by
the American are generally to the eff
feet that the interest rate of ~ %
with payments annually of 1870 on
the amortization plan as proposed in
the Frazier bill would be of wonder
full help to the farmers and the coun-
try as a whole. helping materially
in getting the wheels of industry in
motion again.
Below is the list of petitioners re-
ceived the past week and which will
be brought to the attention of Con-
gress. This will give an expression
to Congress that can not be misunder-
stood. Next week terminates the list.
The petition reads as follows:
Petition For Frazier Bill.
"To Minnesota Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress:
1.-The Debated condition of agricul-
ture requires immediate refinancing
of the present farm mortgage indebt-
edness, at a low rate of interest, in
accordance with the plan embodied in
the Frazier bill now pending in Con-
gress and which has been favorably
reported by the Senate Committee on
Agriculture.
I'VE urge the members of the Min
nesota delegation in Congress as we'll
as other senators and representatives
to put forth their best efforts to Sc
cure the passage of the Frazier bill
and, in this manner, render practical
aid to the farmers of the United
States, and service to the country as
a whole"

TURN left from the left lane or

Follow that rule and the trouble
bothering the black car in the pic
ture will never bother~you.
! Motorists in the left lane expect
cars to the right of them to go Ell
ther straight ahead or turn off to
the right. Consequently, any car
which cuts in front of a forward
stream of traffic puts other cars in
danger.
Last year 1,19O people were killed
and $3.50 hurt in 1880 accidents

and Surety Underwriters show.

highway, and the left turn shall be
made by passing to the right Of
such center line where it enters the
intersection and upon leaving the
intersection by passing to the right

Cars turning improperly create a
most dangerous hazard because
they not only cut across approach

pedestrians.
All safe drivers show their inten-
ton to turn left by pulling over to

by giving the correct hand signal.
