SENATE APPROVES
CD. c. MEASURES.
House Action Necessary on
8-Gans' A. B. c. Post
Ind0rSed.

Nine local bills and resolutions had
the approval Of the Senate District
Committee today but with one excep-
ton still required action by the House.
The measures were granted favor
able reports yesterday, when Chair
man King had the committee polled.
One would ratify reappointment of
Isaac Cans for another term on the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
The purpose is to exempt him from
the Government retirement law. In
approving the measure, the District
Commissioners wrote that while the
law does not specify an age limit for
members of the board, it was thought
that without congressional action some
question might develop as to the con-
tinued service of Cans, who is past
the statutory retirement age of 10.
The Commissioners described his
services as valuable.
Four of the resolutions are to enable
the Commissioners and Federal off,
cials to make all arrangements for the
presidential Inauguration next Janu-
airy.
Another resolution would make
Saturday, December 26, legal hol-
iday this year so that the banks
in the District could remain closed.
A bill to authorize the issuance Of
a license to practice the healing art
to DR.. Ralph Charles Stuart was ap-
proved. The committee also reported
two other bills, as follows:
To amend the charter Of the Ma
tional Union Insurance Co. of Wash
ington.
To authorize laying Of certain pipe
lines.
All but the insurance company

Electric Association
Agree To Work As Unit
Plan May Make It Possible tt
Add Territory In Eastern
Part of Stearns

At a conference of the officers
Of the Stearns County Cooperative
Electric with the officers of the
Northeast Stearns Electric Cooper
alive comprising the townships of
Brockway, st. Wendell and Holding,
it was agreed that the two associa-
tons should work together and
center all their interests toward the
development Of the Stearns County
Cooperative Electric, the larger of
the two associations. This confer
ence was held in the office of the
County Agent at st. Cloud on Fri
day night, December 18th.
The addition Of the Northeast or
ganization to the larger of the two
electric associations will add more
than 100 users to the list Of 700
that the first named association
already had. The Northeast organ
ization centered around the parish
es of st. Wendell, st. Stephen and
Opole. The addition of the North
east association to the Stearns
County Cooperative Electric might
also make it possible to add some
other territory in the eastern part
of Stearns county that wasn't ac-
cessible up to this time. In other
words there were spaces between
the areas now signed up and the
balance of the eastern part Of
Stearns county that seemed inter
ested in coming in on the electric
program. Some Of these interested
areas might now be served under
the new plan.

Dear Friends:
It is getting near Thanksgiving
Day once again and we are so
thankful to have so many friends,
who have helpsd US in many ways
to make life pleasanter for us. We
are still trying 20 take care Of our
selves in a feeble way. It does not
seem right for one to live so long
after they have lost their facilities
for doing work. The brain is active
and urges to do things. When we
try that the body refuses to do. We
received the two bundles of Sank
Centre papers all right. We notice
our friends and neighbors are pass
ing away and we see that you have
had a bad storm Of snow and cold
weather. We wish you were here to
enjoy the nice warm weather here.
I am now sitting in the doorway in
a very light cotton suit. Doors and
windows are open. My windows in
my bedroom have not been closed
for a long time. 1t is sure healthy
here. The temperatures stand
around 10 degrees. Our friends
daughter, Edith, drives a school
bus 20 miles to the American
school here. OF course it is warm.
She has nothing to bother her but
some rough roads. We do not see
how Dola stands it to walk to her
school in winter weather.
Write all the news.
Yours truly,
Theodore and Nellie Barnes.

Book Reviews
NEW BOOKS OF POETRY
BY Eloise Ebert

Poetry Is a form of literature
which has both enthusiastic fol-
lowers and confirmed critics. The
pleasure which one derives from
reading poetry depends largely up
on ones mood or emotional spirit
at particular time. It Is a picture
Of human experience interpreted
in rich colorful language, stressing
implied meanings rather than ex-
pressed. There Is beauty about
poetry, rhythm, an emotional
picture painted which can be done
in no other way. Emily Dickinson
