Bet Dollars
To DOughnuts.

Red Lake Falls-Betting dollars to
doughnuts proved expensive for a Pen
nington county election enthusiast. This
man offered to pay his neighbor one
dollar for every state that the neigh
boris candidate carried in the national
election, if, in turn, this same man
would fry him one doughnut for every
state his favorite lost. That such odds
were worth accepting in any wager is
proven by the fact that the winner will
have nearly S46 after he has paid for
the ingredients necessary to fry two
doughnuts

Nine Ways To Kiss

After seven years and "about 500
kisses" in the movies, blonde Joan
Bennett has come to the conclusion
that there are nine different kinds
of kisses.
The various types of osculatory
collisions, as she sees them are the
"Heart-in-throat," the "Gotta-go-
now," the "Take-that-and-l ike-it,"
the "I-could-do-better," the ooh,
my" or Gee, whizz," the "I-surren-
DER the "No fair" and the "Grand
finale"
By way of illustration, she took
her one particular brand of kiss.
II usually appear thoroughly
mastered and overcome by the men
who play opposite me- she said.
swell, that's the heart throat
kind. The girl always looks over
whelmed and half-dizzy.
incidentally, it's the easiest of
all kinds. And yet, it's impressive"

New Farm, Bill
Authorizes Large
Payments 1867

The New Deal farm program de-
signed as a substitute for AAA
went to the White House for the
Presidents signature last weekend
after both houses of Congress had
accepted the conference report re-
conciling differences between the
two branches.
The new farm subsidy-soil con-
servation measure authorizes pay
ments of up to $5O0,000,O00 year
through 1886 and 1887 to farmers
practicing prescribed conservation
measures. After December 81, 1897,
or sooner if the States are ready,
grants will be made through volun-
tary State programs based on soil
conservation, on sterilization OF ag-
ricultural supplies and maintenance
of farmers purchasing power.
At their first meeting Tuesday
House and Senate conferees reach
ed agreement on differences on the
farm bill. In most instances House
changes were accepted.
The measure came out of the con-
ference room still carrying the
original broad powers for the Sec
rotary of Agriculture to make
grants to farmers directly or
through States for two years, to be
followed by permanent program
of subsidies going only to States
that adopt Federal formulas for
crop control through changing from
commercial to soil-building crops.
AS the new $5O0,OO0,000 soil con-
servation farm bill headed for con-
ference committee on Senate and
House differences, the House re-
ceived from committee Monday a
$161, $4,000 Agriculture department
appropriation measure for the 1887
fiscal year.
The supply bill was $28,525,OO0
below budget estimates, but there
were reappropriations of unexpend-
ed balances totaling $18,000,000, and
the measure was $21, 635,OO0 above
current appropriations, not count
ing reappropriations. Also the bill
allowed four million dollars for the
Farm Credit administration
same as this year.
The appropriations committee re-
fused to allow $1,000,000 requested
in the budget for the shelter-belt
program of tree planting in the
Great Plains belt, started with
emergency funds-on the ground
that it had not been approved pre-
viously by Congress.
On the same day the House
quickly agreed to. a conference with
the Senate on the new $500,000,00O
farm bill, to iron out differences be-
tween the two houses.
Farm administration officials has
tended their plans for putting the
bill into actual operation as soon as
possible after it's enactment, anxi-
Gus to get the soil sub
sidy program working before the
spring planting season gets fully
under way.
