Birds of Feather,
You KnOU-A Bird
Calls Mate Back

One often hears of that big fish
that got away, or that big bag Of
ducks that was lost, and other so
called tall stories" But here's a
yarn that, strange and unbelievable
as it may seem, has plenty of wit
nesses to vouch for it's veracity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Saul and chill
dren of st. Paul, came Friday to visit
at the A. G. Danielson home in Askov.
When they left Saturday they took
with them one of the Danielsons' pet
canary birds, little fellow called
Amos" who was to be vocal instruc-
tor to one of his feathered brethren
in the capitol city.
Not long after the Sauls had de-
parted Mr.. Danielson received tele-
phone call from Pine City stating
that the bird had left its cage when
the Sauls had stopped at Len Haven's
Camp, Cross lake, and had winged
its way into the deep forest despite
the protestations and entreaties of the
party. Mr.. Danielson Immediately
notified his wife and taking with them
Amos" mate and another canary
known as Gary Cooper" they sped
to Cross lake in an attempt to re-
capture the errant Amos"
When they arrived at the scene
there was much hub-bub and activity
in the increasing crowds attempts
to catch the bird but Amos" was
nowhere to be seen.
Mrs. Danielson then pleaded with
Gary" to "do his stuff" and that
plucky little fellow responded with a
ringing song that carried for a long
distance. Although there were hun
dreds of other birds in the trees
Amos" at once recognized the voice
of his friend and neighbor in the Dan
ielson home and gradually worked his
way back to where "Gary" was
warbling for all he was worth. He
then jumped into the Danielson car,
picking it out of the twenty or thirty
cars there, and felt very much at
home. With very little coaxing he
was made to enter his cage and his
st. Paul trip was postponed until a
| later date.
Raising canaries is Mrs. Danielson's s
hobby and she has reared some birds
that she can rightly be proud of. Her
fondness for her winged charges is
responsible for her having amos"
return to his cage after having been
at large for two and one-half hours.

Against Economy Act.

After explaining the work he had
accomplished in behalf of saving the
farm home the congressman took
hard crack at the socalled federal
Economy bill and added that Roose-
welt now has more power than a
kaiser or czar ever had. That power,
explained the congressman, should
not be, given to an individual in a
democracy-in a country where men
have bled and died for a democratic
form of government. The power may
be safe in the hands of Roosevelt but
who knows when the country may
have another Hoover, added the con-
gresham.
Mr.. Shoemaker vividly pictured the
hell of war-how injured soldiers on
the battlefield would be moaning in
agony and reaching for a gun to end
it all, and so on. He called the World
war rich mans war and a poor
mans fight. The boys were told to
go and fight and when you come back
nothing will be too good for you"
The result now, said the congress
man, is that nothing is too good.
While the war was going on America
made $4,000 new millionaires. At the
Veterans hospital at Fort Smelling
300 soldiers suffering with tubercu-
losis were sent home as a result of
the Economy act. The act took $780,
100000 from the soldiers. Half Of
that amount represents the reduction
of taxes to the steel trust alone.
Only a small percentage of lum-
ber is used today compared with years
ago, now that we have steel, cement,
brick, stone, ETC., yet the boys are
sent out to plant trees at 81 per day
and board. That low scale of wages
guides some of the big fellows, said
the congressman, so it means econ
omy to them. He reported also that
$4,000 worth of tent poles had been

FARMERS MUST
HAVE PRICES
Continued from Page u

campaigns, the technicality he was
caught on being the writing of few
words expressing his thoughts Of
banker down in Red Wing. Shoemaker
says that few congressman go to
Leavenworth after having served in
Congress but to go from Leavenworth
to Congress is rare.
When Congress adjourned in June,
Shoemaker remained in Washington
to negotiate with the Federal Farm
Credit Administration regarding the
taking over of foreclosed farms held
by the Minnesota Rural Credit Bu-
reau.
Federal Government to Help.
The state of Minnesota through it's
Rural Credit Bureau has invested
SEC, ,O0O, 900 in farm. mortgages. At
the present time there are $500 farm
ers who have defaulted on their loans,
but who are still living on their
farms due to law allowing the fore
closed mortgage 13 months grace.
Meeting with Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., governor of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, and other officers, the
Minnesota congressman convinced the
committee that it's land appraisers.
now working in Wisconsin. should be
moved to Minnesota upon completion
of their present work.
These land appraisers place a val
ue on the farmers land, and the fed
eral government proceeds to take
over the mortgage, allowing the farm
er five years without payments. At
the end of five years, the farmer pays
back the loan at the rate of five per
cent, of which four per cent goes for
interest, and one per cent for the re-
tirement of the principal.
Many of the defaulting Minnesota
farmers have spent their entire lives
building up their farms only to have
a few years of low farm prices wipe
out their lifes work. 1t is to aid
those whose period of grace is about
ended, that Shoemaker urged immed-
late action by the Federal Farm
Credit Administration.
The action will not only be help
to the farmers of Minnesota but the
result of the procedure will give the
state many million dollars now in
vested in these lands with which to
reduce the bonds now outstanding.

cerned?
Ayes.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 2. WP)-
Arizona voters will go to the polls
August 8 to cast their ballots on
prohibition repeal despite efforts
of dry forces to block the election
by court action, it was learned to-
day.
James McDougal, assistant attor-
ney general, said nc had been in
formed by Superior Judge 9. A.
Rodgers that the latter would grant
a state motion TO throw out petit
ton of Charles Osburn, Phoenix
dry leader, for an injunction to
halt the election.
Judge Rodgers formal decision
was to be made public late today.
Osburn in court arguments on a
state motion contending he was
without sufficient grounds to base
his injunction plea, contended an
act passed by the first special ses-
sion OF the Arizona legislature au-
thorizing the election, was uncon-
stitutional and would injure him
as taxpayer.
Only names of delegates to
ratification convention pledged TO
repeal will be voted upon at the
election. Prohibition forces failed
TO nominate delegates.

CHEERED BY REPORT
Nations Balance Even Greater
Than During Hectic Days OF
World War.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. 2. W.H
The federal government has a
larger cash balance on hand than
any time in its history, it was an
nounced today at the summer
White House were President Roose-
velt is vacationing
AS result OF this favorable con-
dition which grew out of recent fl
nancial operations CT the admini-
stration, it was said by close adj
wiser of the President that I'VE
are sitting pretty"
President Roosevelt appeared
greatly cheered by the news from
the treasury department in Wash
ington concerning particularly the
heavy oversuhscription of federal
bonds and certificates.
1t was learned that he was in
communication earlier with both
the secretary and undersecretary
and was informed that the $500 0000,-
600 offer of three and quarter per
cent eight-year bonds had been
oversIbscribed more than six times.
The President was told that the
total oversubscription was in ex-
cess of $4,000, 100000
He also was informed that on
the August certificates 100000, 900
had been asked for and that ST.
500 1000 900 had been obtained. AS
a result it was decided that the Of
fering would be closed to all sub
scribers in amounts above SIC, 900.
In connection with the favorable
cash balance in the treasury, the
summer White House said the sum
was even greater than that on hand
in days of the World war, totaling
approximately $1,5OO,000, 900.
With that huge amount in re-
serve, it was pointed out, tire
government was in favorable po-
sition for 1888, and probably well
into next winter.

sary under the law.
President Roosevelt was up early

DAVE REFUSES
To SEE AIMEE

LOS ANGELES, Auug 2. UP)-
Having been refused an audience
with her husband, David L. Hut
ton, Jr., Aimee Mcpherson Hutton
reconciled herself today to the fact
she had lost the affections of her
dimpled, husky husband and an
nounced she would "let him go
his way with prayer for his hap
piness."
Shortly after her return from
Paris yesteday, the evangelist
sent emissaries backstage at a
Hollywood theate to ask Hutton,
now turned vaudeville singer, to
come to her.
why should l make myself ri
diculous by helping stage such a
scene?" was the response of the
former Angelus Temple choir lead
er, who only few days ago was
uncremoniously ducking eggs on
the same theatre stage.
Whereupon Aimee said simply:
"All right. I only wanted Dave
to take me in his arms and tell
me with his own lips that he no
longer loves me. But if he doesn't
want to. so be it. wish him we'll.
I shall not insist on such assurance
from him now. guess he means it
all"
But it's going to be hard to stay
long in this house alone, with
the memory of him clinging close.
You see, I still love him." Mrs.
McPherson-H Hutton explained. THAT
love may die, of course, very soon
now"
Welcomed by several thousand
disciples at the temple last night,
Mrs. Mcpherson Hutton said she
planned to leave within a month
on an extensive evangelistic tour
the country. She as
sured her congregation she had
refused tempting offers to give
services in leading theatres Of the
nation.
The temple services last night
were interspersed by radio pleas
for funds to keep the temple broad
casting station going.
