House. OF course, names can neither
be added nor removed unless the
House actually is in session, so this
day. BY that time, it is to be expected
that House leaders will have been
able to prevail upon their weakened
brethren so that other names will be
withdrawn, and the fight for consid-
Grafton of the Frazier bill will have
to begin anew.
But it was hair breadth's escape
for the leaders who resisted the move.
The position of the President is said
not to be hostile to the extent that
some of the old conservative Demo-
cratic leaders are evidencing. The
chairman of the Rules Committee him
self once stated on the House floor
that he would even consider voting for
the bill when it came up. The House
Agriculture Committee has favOrably
reported the bill. But the Committee
on Rules is holding the bag, and the
hostility. And those of us who are
backing the bill are used to taking
lickings and coming back for more.
That is why the leaders are frankly
panicky and worried. vote in the
House has an excellent chance of Civ
ing approval to the measure. and the
Senate might well join in, sending it
on to the White House, where observ-
ers carefully refrain from saying def
initely that the President would meet
1t with a veto.
Indirectly, the developments follow
ing passage of the bill which will pay
off the long-argued soldiers bonus"
in bonds have played into this situa-
ton. 1t seems strongly possible that
now those of the Patman bill advo-
Gates who are disappointed as the
result of being forced to accept a
measure paying the obligation in tax
free bonds instead of in new currency
will join with the Frazier bill advo-
Gates in forcing a test vote. They
reason that both measures proposed
an expansion of currency and credit,
strictly controlled and entirely con-
stitutional, and well within estab-
lished monetary and financial prac-
tees. Now they may join hands, and
the issue may again be raised
What is discouraging to observe is
that the drive comes little late.
Until the measure actually became
law by overriding the veto the
bonus" bill might have been used
as polite club over the Senate. Now
enactment of any kind of a so-called
inflationary bill becomes doubly diff
ficult. and to that extent any fight
that is now put up becomes more or
less of a sham battle.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. e. GUSTAFSON
County Superintendent
Snow Flows and State Aids.

Gravel and pavement have elimin-
ated most of the very high priced
mud taxes" The snow plows now
have eliminated most of the "snow
taxes" and made it possible for most
cars, car licenses and roads to func-
ton twelve months each year instead
Of only seven or eight months. We
hope that this good service has come
to stay in Pine county. The snow
pillow men have successfully demon
strated what most of us believed they
could do. They deserve much praise.
Two classes of roads that should be
opened first are mail routes and
school bus routes. Every high and
graded school in Pine county Except
Pine City, is a consolidated school
depending upon an extensive trans
portation system. Many of the small
Ter schools are also consolidated, and
in a few other rural schools also, the
pupils are transported. In addition
to these many regular school bus
routes, there are over a dozen high
school cooperative bus routes. Out
side Of the villages. over half of all
pupils in Pine county depend upon
transportation.
Years ago, Remer, Cromwell, Carl
ton, and other consolidated schools
abandoned all horse-drawn vehicles
and adopted motor bus transportation,
which proved to be more practical,
more efficient and more economical.
Most consolidated schools in Pine
county now depend entirely upon mo-
tor busses.
Since all apportionment aids and
supplemental aids are now based on
average daily attendance, the blocking
of the school bus routes will cost Pine
county over 5000 in loss of state aid
for each day such roads are blocked.
We now have a few routes in bad
shape and at least one has ceased to
function because of snow. Some are
making double trips to avoid a mile
or two of snow The time is at hand
when all township and county units
will cooperate to keep school bus
and mail routes open first of all. A
school district cannot legally spend
money on roads, but in most counties,
school bus routes are the first to be
opened, because township and county
leaders cooperate with that end in
view.

When schools have to be closed for
a few days because of severe, cold
weather or for some other unavoid-
able reason, those days are consid-
cred as holidays and children are
not considered present nor are they
called absent. If school operates dur
ing such conditions, there is no legal
reason to count the absent pupils as
perfect in attendance. Attendance
awards are being given this school
year to all rural pupils who have per-
feet attendance during any five or
more school months.
About forty rural schools have re-
quested the service of the federal
book mending project. The allot-
ment of funds for the labor has been
made and work will be started soon.
OF course, schools will have to wait
their turn. Other rural schools in
terested will please let us know.

JensenS' Bible Returns to Former
Home,

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis P. Jensen, for
mer Askovites who now reside near
Mortified, recently had the misfor-
tune to lose their family Bible. Some
one in Northfield found it, and on the
first page they found the owners
name and address which was Mrs.
Louis p. Jensen. Askov. Minn.." 1.-THE
old address had not been changed.)
The finder realized Askov was long
way off. SO he decided to give it to
an oil station attendant and told him
if he ever sold gas to anyone going
to Askov, then to send the Bible
along. The oil station man soon aft
er had a customer who was from
Sandstone and decided it was better
to get the Bible closer to home so he
sent it along. And just the other day
the party in Sandstone sent it with
A. Henriksen to Askov. Now it is
here, and of course its owner is in
Northfield. The big question now is
how to get it back to Northfield-it
is likely that Uncle Sam will be
called into service and through his
parcel post system solve the difficult
problem for the sum of ten cents.

For the School Child

In order to be sure that the
school child gets his full quart OF
milk a day, it is well to INCLUDE
some dish using milk in his lunch
eon. This is simple matter at
nome. and the plan may also be fol-
lowed if he takes his lunch to scnooi.
since approximately one-haf OF
the days food protein should come
from milk or milk products, such
as cheese, eggs, meat, fish or poui-
trv the combination of milk with
these protein foods, that are usually
more expensive, so spreads them
that the combination becomes less
expensive and more nutritious.
Such combinations are ideal for
the main luncheon dish. Some
suggestions are thick vegetable
SOUPS, eggs or cheese dishes sucn
As creamed eggs with rice or noodles
macaroni, spaghetti, rice, noodles or
POTATOES with cheese sauce, and fish
and meat dishes such as fish or
