 "As he turned the corner car pulled up in front of the hospital. He recognized the president of the bank and several whose names he didn't know, but whose errand he could guess. He walked rapidly away. They hadn't seen him.

 'tIt was late in the night when he called the hospital. He fancied he saw recognition in the face of the clerk in the drug store he called from, but he had to take the chance.

 "No."
 "What became of him?" Nobody knows" He lifted his head and looked at us. Nobody ever will know" he said. Then he stared into the fire. We could hear the train coming to take us-welis anywhere.

BY RUSSELL HARDY

Several of us fellows were alongside the railroad tracks somewhere in Montana, waiting for a train to take us-well, anywhere, Conversation was desultory for a while, but the yarn-spinning in- stinct was strong in all of us and very soon we were into discus sion, with examples, of what the novelists would call ''life's little ironies." That may sound funny, but the guys you meet on the road nowadays are as likely to be thoughtful as anybody else. More so. Depressions do funny things to people.
 We'd each told tale and pointed the moral, all except one; a long, skinny fellow who kept staring into the fire.
 How about you. Aesop?" I said to him. "Ain't you got a fable?"
 Yeah" he said, still staring in- to the fire. T got one."
 Well, spill it." I said, after a minute of silence. He didn't look up as he spoke:
 "Its an ordinary enough story, with ordinary characters. I knew the guy pretty well. Thornton, his name was, Bob Thornton. He-was bank teller in a good-sized town in the middle west. He had a wife, home and some money saved. And pretty soon he was told he would have son or daughter.
 "That made him happy, be- cause he wanted a son or a daughter very much. A son came. But he came-dead. That was tough, this guy Thornton thought, very tough. But he still had his wife, so he wasn't too bitter about having lost the baby. He loved his wife.
 Shed almost died having the baby. But she'd pulled through somehow and now Thornton hoped she'd get well and strong. She didn't, though. She got steadily worse. She needed the care of good doctors.
 "That took money, and the money Thornton had saved was soon all gone.
 Thornton went to the only place he knew of to get money, the bank he worked in. He took small amounts at first, as he needed 1t. l told you this was an ordinary story.

1T is a matter or satisfaction to
me that at last we are to have CO.
operation between the Federal
Government and the States to the
end that our people can look for
ward to their declining years with
the knowledge that, regardless Of
the hazards of modern life and
economy, they shall not feel the
pinch Of hunger nor live night and
day with that stark terror which
comes from facing future with no
income, with no place to go but the
poor house.
It Is a matter Of satisfaction to
me also that this security program
seeks to provide unemployment in
surance, voluntary and contribu-
tory or compulsory annuities; and,
last but not by any means least
greater security for children.
It Is certain that a large group
of the children at present main
tanned by relief will not be aided
by return of prosperous condi-
tons They are the fatherless, the
orphans and other families of
youngsters without a bread win
ner. If the child is to have a fair
chance in life it Is necessary that
he be left in the home with his mo-
Their and his brothers and sisters.
1t is obvious that a widowed or
abandoned mother cannot keep her
brood Of little ones together in the
home If she is compelled to seek
employment elsewhere.
To meet the problems Of the chill
dren in these families. forty-five
states have enacted mothers PEN
sion laws. Due to the financial con-
dition many of the States find
themselves in, there are less than
half these children of the country
receiving this relief. Under the pro-
gram it is contemplated that the
Federal Government shall contri-
butte one-third Of the funds neces-
'sary for this work, the balance to
be provided by the State and local
community.
The consummatfon Of this pro-
gram will, in the years to come,
contribute substantially to main
tanning the American standard Of
living and also to the peace and
happiness Of all our people.

gives so perfect an utterance to the
hopes Of man today as the song he
sang over q hundred years ago.
This primal quality of his SYM
pathy and sentiment has set him
apart from all epochs and eras and
made him the possession of all
men and of all times.
No poet ever wrought with such
simple and UNMARRIED facts. He
found his inspiration in the COM
mon paths Of life, and built his
glory on the clod that every foot
has pressed, because his seeing eye
found "naught common on the
EARTH" and his living heart caught
wonder from the simple routine of
the common day. ION his lips the
eternal themes again were new"
says Watson of him, and it Is this
that has given him the world for
empire.
Wherever man has toiled and
suffered and hoped and dreamed,
the lark-like song of Burns has fall
len in benediction TO raise mans
hope toward the stars.
1t has been no easy thing for any
man to cringe since Burns once
sang "a Mans Man for a That"
Carlyle has spoken of the won
derment of all when Burns went up
to Edinburgh and moved among
the great and high without hint of
rustic awkwardness, as though he
had been born to shine amidst the
social ranks. It was natures splen-
did lesson to the world that gen.
tlemen are born, not made.
His inherent majesty of simple
manliness passed into his word to
shame a world Of sycophants; his
bitter hatred of cant and hypocrisy
enfranchised thousands with new
and vital contempt for the preten-
tons of tyranical institutions; his
passionate love for his fellow man
made his poetry the password
among those who plotted for the
freedom of the individual, and his
clear, 1.-THE singing born of joy and
faith, has waited over lands and
seas to win the world from weari-
ness Of futile doing and unispired
doubt.
And so, after all these years, he
remains to man still a real and
abiding presence OF uplifting pow

Congressional T
NeWs Letter
(By Congressman Harold Knutson.

| (By Congressman Harold knutson,
When President Roosevelt sub
mitted to Congress his plan for
economic security ne brought
sharply to the attention of the
country the growing needs Of ma.
ton, which, by reason of the extra
ordinary development along lines of
agriculture and industry, faces pro-
blems which did not exist during
the period Of development.
For a number of years it has
been recognized by many of us that
the time has come when something
must be done to provide security
for those who, either from advanc-
ed age, physical handicaps. or who,
because of the demands of mass
production methods and industrial
group insurance, could no longer
find the employment necessary to
provide for themselves and their
dependents.
Eight years ago there was issued
call to all members of Congress
to meet for the purpose of discus
sing the question of the old age
pension and devising ways and
means to put such a law upon the
statute books. The little thought
given to the subject UP to that time
indicated by the ract that but nine
members were sufficiently interest
ed to attend.
There was, even during those
prosperous days, slowly growing
unemployment because of the fore
ing out of industry those who, be-
cause of advancing age, were con-
sidered either too inefficient for
our mass production operations, or
too great hazard for economical
group insurance. It was this fact
that brought forcibly to our atten-
ton the necessity Of following the
example Of some of the older ma

The preliminary opened with
Judy Dubois scoring early for the
Sank Centre seconds and Arvig fol-
lowed him with a goal from the
foul line. These boys waste little
time with preliminaries. Reble COW
cred for Walker and scored under
the basket. The local boys did a
nice job of passing cody and COW
ering shots. Dubois found the bask-
ct for another goa. and then in a
made-to-order piece of teamwork
Dubois scored again as Arvig and
Reble drew the defense to the OPP
posite side of the floor. The quar-
ter ended with Browerville con-
Meeting with only one foul shot and
with the score of 10 to I.
In the second period the locals
quit scoring and netted only two
foul shots, while the visitors Melted
a field goal. They scored even this
quarter. The count at the half
stood II to 3.
The third period was similar.
Walker chalked up a goal, and Re
BILE leased the spectators as he spun
one around the rim only to lose the
goal. Holler, Browerville, came in
with a goal to cease the fire for the
period with the score of IA to 5.
In the last stanZa Dubois copied
another goal, and Ethun followed
him and the game ended 10 to 5.

ROBERT BURNS

(By DR.. j. A. DuBo1S)
Over great portion of the Unit
ed States there was celebrated last
week the 176th birthday of Robert
Burns. Is it not a remarkable fact
that this unlettered Scottish plow-
man should cover the time-space
tween the 18th and Goth centuries
and retain his prominent place IN
the heart and affection of the hui
man familyl Robert Burns still
lives.
Many years ago I clipped from
the columns of the st. Paul Dis
patch the following estimate of the
worth of Burns which I am strong
ly DESTROYS as many readers Of the
Herald as possible shall have he
opportunity to peruse:
One hundred and fifty-four years
ago this day Robert Burns was
born, and now in every cline men
sing his praises and quote his word
to give their highest aspirations
wing.
In all literature there is no other
character like the Scottish plow-
man who. without rank or station,
without the adornments of culture
or the advantages Of education,
passed beyond all the achievements
of the elect by his sheer manliness
and humanity.
To this unIettered rustic, tutored
by a strange and mystic simplicity
Of life, 1t was given to effect the re-
surrection Of the real man in the
literature of the modern era and
prepare the way for that spiritual
democracy which Wordsworth con-
ceived as the final heritage Of an
aspiring race.
Before Burns there had been men
who loved mankind, and who had
given verbal expression to their
love. But to this humble singer was
1t given to first unite a passionate
humanity and a deathless art, prov
ing the double truth that art Is
nothing II 1t be not human, and
that love Is nothing till 1t Is in
formed with a conquering and per-
vading beauty.
It Is significant that the whole
modern movement FOR q deeper and
broader human fellowship has had
It's birth and growth since Burns
died, and yet a century after him

port on direct marketing, stating
that the report is detrimental to
the livestock industry, and gave an
explanation of direct buying and
its effect on the farmers. He stated
that public markets are necessary
so that the producers could in some
measure control their markets. And
in closing asked the farmers pre-
sent if they were willing to turn
their cooperatives, where they
through centralized control, can
regulate their prices, over to the
packers. He asked the farmers pre-
sent to pass and sign resolution
favoring the passage of a state
weights and supervision bill, which
was done. The resolution is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the practice Of dir
ect buying is detrimental to the
best interests of the livestock
industry in that it undermines
our price determining struc-
ture, the public market, due to
the fact that it Is not regulated
or supervised.
Therefore, we, the members
of the Sank Centre Farmers
Shipping Association, respect
fully request that you use
your influence to secure pas
