hind dn Its work Is an interesting
question. The general disposition Is
to blame 1t on to Attorney General
Cummings. Senator Wheeler said
In the committee the other day:
but want to recall to the COM
mittee that when the Presidents
message came down here, the rea-
son given for this plan was that
the Supreme Court was behind
with its work, appeals were pend
ing and Court had to dismiss sew
eral hundred cases each year be-
cause of lack of time.
II think it is deplorable that the
President, who undoubtedly acts in
good faith, should receive misin-
formation from his Attorney Cen
eral who should know more about
these matters than anyone else in
the administration because he has
to deal with them"
Senator Wheeler later on was
quoted as stating that he agreed
with Senator Carter Glass that
what the country needs Is not a
new Supreme Court but new At
torney General"

Effective April Is, not more than
5 per cent of all persons on WPA
projects may have non-relief
status. Heretofore, the maximum
non-relief that could be carried was
10 per cent. In the state as whole,
the number always has been well
below the total allowable, due to
the policy of conserving funds as
much as possible for those most in
need. On March 20, the per cent of
those not on relief in this state
was 8 "a, according to information
obtained from WPA officials.
The new regulations mean that
where projects have 10 workers or
less, all must be from the relief
rolls and projects with more than
20 must be operated on the basis of
not more than one non-relief en-
ployee for each 10 relief workers.
This may require some re-adjust-
ments on projects in each locality,
local WPA representatives said.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
LOSS LEADER AND
PRICE FIXING ACTS

Governor Elmer A. Benson Tues
day signed the two fair trade bills
passed last week by the legislature.
One seeks to eliminate 'loss lead
er" sales at less than cost and the
other permits fixing minimum pric-
es on trade marked goods by con-
tract of manufacturer.
With some doubt that National
banks would continue paying taxes
under gentleman's agreement in
force for several years, senate
leaders introduced a bill authoriz-
ing rs per cent settlement if the
banks will agree. There was talk
of other bank tax legislation if the
agreement fails.
House leaders submitted a rule
giving batch of tax bills supreme
right of way over all other bills and
limiting time for consideration of
each.
When the senate received a COM
that failure Of one
county to pay its share of old age
pensions, would endanger the whole
states system, Senator A. ].
Rockne rose to say it is time legal
action is taken to determine
whether a federal bureaucracy can
dictate to the state"
Bills requiring county and local
governments to clean up floating
debt, limit bond issues to 10 per
cent of full and true value of real
and personal property, and give the
public a voice in budget-making
were approved by the house tax
committee. They are backed by the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association.

Book Reviews

NEW BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY

ESCAPE TO THE TROPICS by
Desmond Holdridge. Mr.. Holdridge
and his wife, Bet" left for the
West Indies and were the first
white couple to be married on the
Island of st. John in over two hun
dred years. Their adventures and
adjustments are related in a
smooth manner. The strange disap-
pearance of Paul Redfern who
crashed in Northern Brazil in 1881
led Mr.. Hildridge on a solitary
journey through the Brazilian jun
gle but he found no actual trace of
Redfern. Drawings and photo
graphs add much to make the book
attractive.
NATIVES RETURN by Louis
Adamic. Mr.. Adamic was an immi-
grant to America from Jugoslavia
and after nineteen years returns to
his native country with his Amer
lean wife early in 1882 when he re-
ceived a Guggenheim Fellowship.
They find the country, his family,
social and political conditions fas-
cinating and startling. His motive
in writing is to interest the Amer
lean people and to have them I'M
derstand the problems and import
ance of Yugoslavia. Mr.. Adamic
has a more recent book with the
same background, Cradle of Life, a
novel.

What Is the earliest planting
date In the field for Warba pOta-
toes, cucumbers, tomatoes, musk
melons, elephants and peppers?
The Warba, or any other early
potato, should be planted as soon
as the soil is in proper condition,
usually about April Is to May / in
this region. Cucumbers and musk
melons should be planted about
May Is, or late enough so that the
plants do not come up until after
the last spring frost. Tomatoes,
eggplants and peppers are best
started indoors and transplanted
to the fields just after the last
spring frost; usually May IS to
June in this area. The vine crops
may also be sowed, indoors and lat

NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS IN
THE LEGISLATURE
BY Vim Weber


Special to the Sank Centre Her
ald.-It is difficult for this cores
pondent to write today Thursday.
When the heart is heavy the mind
does not function we'll, and my
heart is very, very heavy. I have
lost my best and truest pal, Larry
Ho Hodgson, who peacefully en-
tered the dreamless sleep this
morning.
I was awakened at 7:20 by Laur-
ence Junior, who related the sad
tidings. While I had known he was
far from we'll, the blow was none
the less keen. Only yesterday had
he called me to come and visit
with him. This / was unable to do
because of an afternoon session of
the Senate, but had promised to
be with him today, and I shall be,
for with these lines written I shall
go to the home he loved and gaze
upon his lifeless form, and live
again the many happy hours spent
In his presence. r
All st. Paul is in mourning. My
telephone was kept busy by friends
who had heard the unhappy news.
The elevator girl was almost in
tears. Everywhere there was a
hushed silence and the whispered
words: Larry has gone" But I
choose to think that he has not
gone. He would not have me think
so. On the contrary, he will never
be present, inspiring us to carry on
his glorious work for a more to,er-
ant and kindly people and an I'M
swerving, patriotic Americanism.
Tomorrow his body will lie in
state in the new Court House and
thousands of friends will pass by
in deep reverence. On Saturday
interment will be made at Hast
ings, his old home town.
The State Senate paid fitting tri-
butte to this distinguished son and
beloved friend. The following res.
olution was unanimously adopted:
Death has taken from us one of
the most beloved and lovable char
acters in the person Of Laurence
c. Hodgson, affectionately known
to many thousands of people as
Larry Ho." Not only in Minneso-
ia, but elsewhere in the nation his
passing will stir the deep feeling
Of men and women and children of
high and low estate, of all colors,
races and creeds.
Larry Ho' was a native Of Min
nesota, and Minnesota counts him
one of her most talented, kindly
and distinguished sons. He was
brought up in the newspaper pro-
fession, but men of all professions
and in all walks of life mourn his
passing. He entered public life in
the City Of st. Paul and became its
mayor. No city ever had a more
devoted or capable servant, and his
distinguished service brought to
him the coveted honor of st. Paul's
first citizen and the Cosmopolitan
award. AS an orator Larry GIo' was
nationally famed He moved and
thrilled great audiences wherever
he appeared before them. AS the
standard bearer of the Democratic
party in Minnesota, he was once its
candidate for Governor.
Perhaps no man filled a bigger
niche in the hearts Of more people
than Larry Ho.' and in tender
memory Of a truly remarkable man

Emmanuel Circle
Enjoys Pageant
At Meeting

AS resume of their years study
on Africa, the members of I'm
manuel Circle of the First Bap-
tist church enjoyed a pageant on
that subject at their meeting
Thursday afternoon in the church.
Members of the senior guild
composed of the young married
women of the church, were in
charge of the program which in
cluded the devotional service on
the subject of Crosses.
The pageant, Congo Crosses,
based on the book of the same
name, followed, the members por-
traying in vivid fashion the crosses
which prevent the women of that
country from maintaining higher
status: the crosses of ignorance,
Superstitution and witchcraft. The
climax of the pageant is the cross
which alone brings help and COM
fort to them, the Christian reli-
gion.
Many members of other churches
we're present to witness the pag-
cant. At it's conclusion the group
adjourned to the nome of Mrs
Harold E. Doty where refresh
mentS were served.

Text in the Lesson-Sermon on God
the Preserver of Man" on Sunday in
all branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
tist, in Boston, Massachusetts,.
A Scriptural selection in the Les
son-Sermon cites Jeremiah's words:
Blessed is the man that trusteth
in the Lord, and whose hope the
Lord is. For he shall be as a tree
planted by the waters, and that
Spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green; and
shall not be careful in the year Of
drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit" Another selection in
cludes Paul'S words to the Corin-
thians: And God is able to make
all grace abound toward you; that
yc always having all sufficiency in
all things, may abound to every
good work: Being enriched in
every thing to all bountifulness,
which causeth through us thanks
giving to God"

ence and Health with Key to the
