interested in the possible help the
President planned for farmers. l
confess to a keen qualification on
being named as a member of the
House Committee on Agriculture be-
cause it gave me a chance to stand up
for my own people. So when the new
bill, which includes the Crop Allot
ment plan and the provision to pay
cash rental to farmers who would
agree to summer fallow their surplus
acres. and thus reduce the surplus,
came to my Committee | was really
interested and have devoted my time
for the past few days almost exclu-
sively to attending the Committee
meetings and taking part in the dis
cussions of the bill. The President
in his message said that he is not
sure that this bill, if made law, will
do all it is hoped that it will do.
Neither am / sufe-nor can any per-
son be. Something must de done to
aid the farmer and what that is can
only be found by trial. Until we do
find the solution prosperity will not
come from its hiding place around
the corner for anybody.

spouse by veterans of Minnesota to
the possibility of cuts in pensions and

of them have said that they are
standing by their country now in Its
time of trouble, just as they stood In
1917. The world knows no higher
patriotism than that. Some few have
made protest to me. These are vet

Senate Still Bucking.

AS has been reported in these col
umns before, the House and Senate
have each passed motor vehicle Ii
cense reduction bills. The House,
however, left the basic rate of 2.4fo
with minimum license fees of So on
cars weighing under 1000 pounds and
81 on cars weighing over 1000 pounds
when old enough to have deprecated
to that tax 1t would bring the model
T Ford cars down to the minimum of
So when seven years old. The bill
which passed the Senate made
straight 500 cut on all the motor
vehicle taxes. In other words, the
basic rate would be 1870 under Sen
ate action.
The two bills differing materially,
a conference committee of five men,
bers from each house was appointed
to iron out the differences and bring
out a new bill The committee evil
IDENTIFY labored diligently and the re-
port was signed by eight out of the
ten. The five House members and
three from the Senate agreed on the
report. The agreement reached was
to leave the basic rate of 2.4Io the
same, but instead of depreciating the
value of the car only 1870 when a
year old it would depreciate 20%,
that being more in conformity with
the actual depreciation. After that
the car would depreciate 1870 each
year until the tax is brought down to
the minimum rates of $500 and 1925,
as agreed upon by the conference
committee and as contained in the
Senate bill.
On Monday afternoon the House
adopted the conference report and
passed the bill by vote of 1O6 to 9.
The Senate, still bucking, refused to
concur and asked that new con-
ference committee be selected.

Your complex xlon needs stimuln- ton and an occasional "toning up' just as the roots of your hair need it.
 Sluggish circulation does not make for beautiful skin. Why not plan to devote . few minutes each day to improving the appearance of your complexion?
 It is . thing which you must not overdo. Patting your skin too viz orously or using q too-strong ae- tringent might injurc the delicate tissues. But q reasonable amount of stimulation Is necessary.
 Skin toning lotions should be applied after you have cleaned your face. And they should be pnttcd on. Part of the benefit which you derive from n good toning lotion comes through the method in which you apply it.
 When you arise in the morning. clean your face with q piece of wet cotton whiti has been dipped in toning lotion and then in cleansing cream. Actually wash your face with the mixture. Wipe your face with cleansing tissues and then pour a little of the lotion on the palm of each hand. Now slap the lotion on your face and neck with brisk upward and outward pats. Do the same thing at night. After using cleansing cream, wipe your face and slap on plenty of skin toning lotion. Then apply your night cream.
 The vigorous batting in con- junction with . reliable lotion will do much to improve tho texture and color of your complexion.
