Italians Cheer Ii Duce
as War Comes to End
Americans Aided in Ethiopian
Capital by Italian and
English Soldiers
AMERICAN WOMAN KILLED

An exultant Italy heard from
Premier Mussolini's own lips Tues
day night the long awaited news
that she is mistress of a vast new
African empire.
In a voice hoarsely emotional,
MussoIini announced the climax of
the Fascist triumph while an esti-
mated 100000 Romans damned the
piazza i'm front of the Venezia palace
and adjacent streets, and 100000
Italians listened at radios and loud
speakers throughout Italy.
ethiopia IS Italianp'l Duce shoat-
ed. The crowd yelled deliriousIy.
"War Is Ended
"The war is ended!" he proclaim
ed. More cheers reverberated against
the dun colored walls of the Venezia
palace and the cleaning white
columns of the national monument
to the dead of previous wars.
He read the terse statement from
the commander in chief of the Afri-
can armies, which said:
To-day, May S. at 4 p. m, $3.50
a. M, eastern standard time) at the
head of the victorious troops, I EN-
tered Adds Ababa-"
Then Mussolini said: Il announce
to the Italian peoples and the world
the war is finished
81 announce to the italian peoples
and the world peace has BEEN re-
established. 1t is not without emo
ton, it is not without pride, that
after seevn months fierce hoSti1itieS,
I pronounce this great word But it
is necessary for me to add it Is our
peace. Roman peace which is ex-
pressed in this simple, irrevocab1e,
defnitive phrase:
ethiopian is ItalianG"
American Legation Fired on
Rioting natives turned on the
American legation which was poorly
protected, and the Americans there
had to depend on their own fire
arms, the protection of the Italian
soldiers, and the safety of the forti-
fed British embassy. One American
woman was slain.
Italians Make Triumphial Entry
The Italians entered with glory
and triumph into the vacated city
and capital so long ruled over by the
Lion of Judah. Twenty motorcycles
cleared the way as the marching
soldiers entered. Airplanes droned
overhead, and military equipment in
the form of wagons, cannon, and
tanks ratified behind.

we'll cared for The committee found
that the County Home was provided
with a large amount of home grown

bles, and other supplies which were
raised on the County Farm. The

in which the County Home is being
managed and the homelike manner
in which the inmates thereof are be-
ing maintained and cared for.

they have ever been. We find upon
information that a project is under
way to repair fifty-one small schools;
approximately forty-five of these
buildings have already been, re-
paired.
We are nearing the completion of
a general building program for the
central union schools. This program
will leave all buildings in fairly
good shape.
Respectfully submitted,
Foreman of Grand Jury.

Defends Governments
Foreign Trade Policy

Administration policies of for
eign trade promotion and agricul-
tural production control were Wig
orously defended by Chester Da-
Wis, administrator of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment act, June 5 at
University Farm, st. Paul, in a
meeting attended by 1000 Mime
sofa farmers. DIR. Davis recently
returned from a two months visit
to Europe, where he studied out
lets for United States farm pro-
ducts.
Declaring that international
trade is a two-way deal, requiring
the importation as well as the ex-
portation of goods by each nation
involved, he pleaded for the re-
tention of present reciprocal trade
agreements and the use of the re-
ciprocal trade act for promoting
foreign trade.
"Instead of import exclusion OF
strict bilateral trade balancing
with their by-products of interna-
tional ill-will, tariff retaliation, re-
duced trade and. regimentation
our government is promoting
agreements through judicious use
of the most favored-nation prin.
ciple to generalize concessions
among the countries of the world,
he said. Decentralization is not
confined to our own concessions
it is mutual. The countries which
enter into reciprocal agreements
with US agree to give US the ad-
vantages and concessions which
they have given or may give tc
others. This policy leads to better
balance of trade and to freer com.
merce throughout the world, by
reducing or eliminating interna.
tional barriers under which trade
now suffers.
"In order to make sure that thi!
country's tariff concessions do no
result in importations of quaint
ties so great as to work seriou:
injury to important domesti,
groups, import or tariff quotas ar
provided. When a tariff quota il
exhausted, further imports com'
in at the regular rate"
DR.. Davis also urged the reten
tion of production control meas
ures provided by the Nationa
Agricultural Conservation an,
Domestic Allotment Act.

A soft carpet of fresh snow spark led in the sun and the whole of Christmas was in the room as Lois opened her eyes, yawned contented- ly and then suddenly remembered the great conquest of the day-"the Christmas Pudding!"
 "Oh En-" she shouted, radiant with joy and keen with excitement Wake up! Wake up! It's Christ mas!"
 What's that?" murmured Elm sleepily. "Oh yes, hurrah for the funl Is the pudding done?"
 Every year, as far back as Lois and Elm could remember, they had looked forward with youthful an ticipation to the Glorified Christ mas Pudding. Twas a Swedish rice delicacy, in which an almond had always been concealed. Tradition had proclaimed that the lucky per son who came upon the holiday nut in his Christmas pudding was to be the first one married. What fun it had been through the year.
 Well, girls" spoke mother, beam ing with the holiday spirit, who is to get the almond in the Christmas pudding? This is leap year, you know"
 Lois and Elm giggled, knowingly, exchanging winks, as both were secretely engaged to be married.
 Soon mother was busily engaged

 Dinner first, then presents, she suggested, and when, having eaten all they could hold they gathered about the holly, she found a crude ly wrapped present for herself. It was picture scrapbook, somewhat smudged.
