numerical strength. The veterans of
Foreign Wars and similar militant
veteran groups have been drumming
up membership solely on their fight
for the bonus. With conservative
minded Legionaires warning against
disaster which would befall adding
two billions to the present deficit
opinion prevails that Congress will re-
sist the stampede by the small but
aggressive whooping committees of
veterans. Parades, petitions and war
whOops are calculated to win over an
irresolute Congress.
There is note of finality in the
simple notice often inserted in news
papers by husbands and others re-
sponsible for debts to the effect ION
and after this date l will not be re-
sponsible for debts contracted, etc."
This same warning notice has been
given to government departments and
bureaus by Chairman Byrns of the
House Appropriations Committee. His
committee controls the Federal purse
strings and in the interest of real
economy do not propose to pay bills
contracted without previous authori-
cation. Federal agencies have a cute
little trick of spending money during
the absence of Congress and then ask
ing for deficiency appropriation"

At that point Berglin tried to pull
his pistol, and one of the gunner
fired pOintblank at him. Four or five

NO SPEARING OF
FISH THIS SPRING

The usual custom of many in
the spring has been to spear fish
as the various species go up the
stream to spawn, but this practice
is now prohibited and the follow
ing communication from the game
and fish department gives a re-
view of this passage of the law
governing spearing of fish:
The recent legislature by Chap
ter 1913, Laws 1881, approved April
"a, 1881, limits the spearing of fish
to spearing through the ice be-
tween December 1 and February 1.
following. both inclusive. Except
as to bullheads in certain waters in
Cass and Itasca counties, governed
by Laws 1927, Chapter 1922, as
amended by Laws 1929, Chapter 315.
the spearing of fish at any other
time is now unlawful and it is also
unlawful to spear fish at any time
In open water, even during the
time when spearing through the
ice is permitted.

MANY FARMERS ASK
FOR SEED MONEY

At the meetings held at Pine City
and Askov last Thursday and Friday,
many farmers inquired about the seed
loan that was made available to Pine
county farmers by the appointment of
the county seed loan committee few
weeks ago. One member of the COM
mittee and the county agent was at
each place and assisted farmers in
making out the applications, stated
Fred B. Willrett, county agent.
In order to take care of any other
farmers who are not able to secure
their seed for planting this spring.
arrangements are being made for the
agent and one member of the COM
mittee to be in Willow River on Tues
day, April 10, Pine City Oh Thursday,
April 81, and at Askov Friday, April
%. The arrangement for these meet
ings along with the others scheduled
for this week it is believed will take
care of the balance of farmers in
quiring for loans.
All applications should be in by
that time as it will take some time
for the loans to be approved and
signed by the county committee. Fur
Their, unless the Federal Seed Loan
office at Minneapolis changes the reg
ulatiOns, all applications must be in
by April 80 in order that the loans
may be approved.

CHOOSING THE
PRISON SITE
Architects and Sandstone
Men Go Over Prison
Grounds.
Federal Institution May be
Located Il Miles From
Center of Village.

The commencement of building op-
erations on the big federal prison to
be erected near Sandstone drew one
step closer when Holm & Ekman,
Minneapolis architects, selected to
draw the plans, were in Sandstone
yesterday to go over the grounds.
Together with the local committee
for the prison-SenatOr Adolph S.
Larson, DR.. H. p. Dredge, j. F. Haw-
ley, and r. w. BarstOw-they viewed
the location and tentatively selected
site about IA miles from the CEN
ter of Sandstone village. The archi-
tects were much pleased with the
site. They will leave in a few days
for Washington, ID. c., and consult
with Sanford Bates, director of fed
eral prisons. 1t is also expected that
engineers will be at Sandstone with
III a few days to survey the grounds
for the buildings to be erected as
soon as all the preliminary arrange
ments have been made.
Buildings will be erected this year
to house about 300 prisoners. What
materials will be used in the con-
struction has not yet been decided
upon but naturally the Sandstone
community and all of Pine county
will be interested in having the home
product of sandstone used. WOrkmen
are anXiOusly awaiting the construc-
ton work
In the competition for making the
plans and specifications for the prison
3S tentative plans were submitted. A
Minnesota committee appointed by
Prison Director Bates selected five out
of the 3S and those were forwarded
to Washington with the result that
the plans of Holm & Ekman were
chosen.
