PASHA PROVES
UNIFORMED ON.
ALExANDR|A(VA)'
But He and Reporter
Have a Nice Talk

East is East and west IL West,
but how is a struggling reporter
going to know that The city
editor said Alexandria, didn't he?
All right.
Go over to Union Station
and meet Hussein Sabry Pasha,"
the city editor said. Hes a
big shot from Alexandria"
THERE HE WAS
30 the reporter went to the
station and, sure enough, there
was Mr.. Pasha, Of Alexandria. A
very polite guy, too, and some
kind of a foreigner. Anyway, the
reporter never heard them talk
like Pasha in any Of the barbe.
cue places he ever hung around
in Alexandria.
Well, the reporter and Mr..
Pasha chewed the fat about this
and that. The reporter thought 1t
was a little dizzy interviewing Mr..
Pasha. especially when Mr.. PaSha
opened the chinfeSt with some
highly complimentary remarks
about how they handled the traf-
fic problem in Washington.
The reporter wanted to ask Mr..
PaSha where he'd been all this
time, just getting wise to this, but
this seemed to lead up blind
alley. Me. Pasha would have, in
truth, answered Gin Alexandria."
WHAT AIRPORT9
So the reporter hemmed and
hawed around some more. What
did Mr.. PaSha think OF the air
port problem? Mr.. Pasha was
hesitant, but polite. And the re-
porter thought the airport prob
lem was the chief beef OF everyone
from Alexandra.
Well, Mr.. Pasha seemed to have
Q lot to say to the other reporters
about this King Farouk, and the
legation, and the reporter kept
trying to think of someone Mr..
Pasha might know On King
Street, in Alexandria-and then,
just so Mr.. Pasha wouldn't get
the idea he was a complete dope,
the reporter said:
Maybe you voted for Dick
Baker, Mr.. Pasha." Baker ran
o nice second in the recent cleo
tons across the river).
"Voted?" said Mr.. Pasha.
"Me? What election was that?
You mean for parliament, per.
haps?"
PARLIAMENT? HUH?
Parliament? Listen-I lived |
In Alexandria all my life. What
parliament"
In Alexandria. Egypt"
I'll be seeing you," the re-
porter said, and went to a phone
booth. He called his city editor.
who gave you this bum steer
on this big shot from Alexan-
dria? This guy never was in Vir-
ginia in his life"
Today "Mr. Pasha" was to
confer with Secretary Of Com
merce Roper and Secretary Of
State Hull.
They know him simply as
Prince HuSsein Sabry PaSha,
uncle Of the king Of Egypt.

MOVING PERMIT "MUSTS"
EXPLAINED BY HIGHWAY

District maintenance engineers
Of the Minnesota Highway depart
ment were reminded this week of
the new phases of the uniform traf-
fic code and informed that a new
form covering permits to move
over highways has been forwarded
to each district.
To move buildings or slow moving
equipment on highways the main
tenance office as well as the high
way patrol must know the axel
weights, spacing, kind of tires and
the like, of the units to be removed.
This precaution is necessary both
for safety and to prevent the I'M
necessary breakdown Of highways
and the overlooking Of bridges.
The new code requires that
heavy equipment lowed by q craw-
Ter type tractor, slow moving equip
ment lowed by motor vehicle and
all trailers must have adequate
brakes. So far. in the matter of
trailers, leniency has been shown in
order to give trailer owners suf-
ficient time to install such essen
tials, but after March 1, no move
ment Of trailers without brakes
will be permitted.
In the case Of dolly type trailers
not directly attached to the towing
vehicles, such as is generally used
in building and extra heavy equip
ment moving, special permits may
be issued providing safety Of move
ment can be established says L. L.
Allen, maintenance engineer of the
State Highway department.

|Herzog Says
Board Is
Not Unfair
Says Butter Is Only One OF
Farm Products Which
Brings Good Price
(St. Cloud TimeS)

Chairman of the Stearns county
commission, Lawrence Herzog, of
Melrose, was in st. Cloud Wednes-
day to deny that the county board
was deliberately unfair to union or
any other labor.
In a statement to The Times,
Commissioner Herzog declared that
the relief" wage scale Of the coun-
ty is from so to IS cents per hour
for truckers, and from go to IS
cents for "catskinners." Common
labor gets IS cents per hour, Mr..
Herzog stated. These wages are
paid for work performed five days
each week, by men working 10
hours per day.
1.-THE wages for common laborers
are quite low I know but the scale
was set two years ago and submit
ted to the county board by the
county highway engineer. 1t has
not been changed since them" he
said.
II quite understand what the
truck drivers mean when they say
that they can't buy Accent butter
on relief wages, but I'd like to re-
mind them that butter is about the
only high price farm commodity
at the present time" the board
chairman said.
Must Pay Taxes as Always
tits easy for me to remember
when we MIXED % cows and got
go cents a pound for butterfat. We
paid 5000 in real estate taxes then
and paid them out of one months
cream check. Now the situation Is
reversed. We milk Is cows and get
about A cents per pound for but
terfat, which cuts our cream check
in half, and have to pay the taxes
Just the same. These economic
conditions don't work out so well
for the farmer either.
My sympathies are entirely
with the men who receive only a
small income from relief and have
to support families on those incom-
es, but we are trying to do the best
that we can, and it's tough job to
work out a situation and satisfy
everyone" the Melrose commission
err declared.
The craftsmanship of the COM
mission in 1888 rumored as the
political ambition of several men,
bers Of the board is not Mr.. Her
zog's chief concern.
"Of course I'm going to be a
candidate, tentatively, Of course.
because I believe the western end
Of the county should have that
craftsmanship for a while. It's been
some years since we have had it,"
the present chairman stated.
Sees Buckley Removed
"a change in the head Of the
county highway department ap-
peared to be a certainty. He said
he did not know who would take
the place of Glen Buckley, present
highway engineer, that the board
found no fault" with his services,
but that a change was considered
necessary"

SHARP UPTURN
FEATURES HOGS
Market 1890 Higher In Active
Trade-More Life In Cattle Al
leys-Lambs Down Sharply

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. A.
After starting OFF in rather quiet
manner following Mondays sharp
price decline, today's hog trade be-
came one of the most spirited in
weeks. The chief influence behind
the broad demand and higher prices
was active competition between the
larger local interests. Some ship
ping support developed, but out
siders had orders for fully 1900
hogs or more had not the market
sky-rocketed SO sharply. The trade
averaged 1880 over Monday, top
to $8.05. Bulk good and
choice 14O-22O ID. weights turned at
$7sO-8O5; 22O-250 lbs, $7.5O-7.S0;
25O-3OO lbs, $6.75-7.5O; and a few
heavy butchers down to $3.50. Sows
brought $6.1O-6.35, and stays had a
spread of $5.5O-6.25. Pigs continued
scarce.
Mondays pressure in the cattle
trade eased considerably. This did
not mean that prices were higher,
but it was a fully steady trade on
steers and heifers with cows steady
to 15c higher. Steers and yearlings
had a price spread of $6O0-7.50 with
a few sales $7.75-8.25. Heifers
reached SITS for top. Beef cows
had a spread Of $4.75-5.50, with a
few $6.OO-6.25, and cutters and low
cutters $3.5O4.5O. Despite the fact
that IT loads of Canadian cattle
consisted almost entirely of bulls
and she stock, the market for bulls
was again steady. Upward to $6.25
was paid for sausage offerings
Feeder and stocker cattle were
scarce and steady. Limited supplies
saw dairy cows hold on an un-
changed level with the good spring
ers $6O.OO-7O.OO, medium down to
$4,000, and an extreme top Of $50.
The advantage gained by sellers
on the opening session Of the week
was more than earned today when
fat lamb values tumbled 50-75c. The
sharp decline pulled bulk slaughter
sales to s.OQ-s.25. Other classes were
steady, best yearlings carrying q
bid OF $7.25. Slaughter ewes sold
from $3.50 and feeding lambs turn
ed at $7OO-775.

at the stroke Of the third quarter.
For several minutes it looked like
the game might go into overtime
with the deadlock unable to be bro
ken. But Pat Dubois broke first
water with that tip in, turn around
shot Of his, and the boys were on
their way. Cook scored to send the
boys into the lead. But Earle closed
the gap with one. Cook took back
the margin of the lead as the team
began to put life into their scoring
listlessness. Pat ended the scoring
as the locals swept to a six point
lead-the heaviest lead held by
either team throughout the game.
It was one of the cleanest games
the Independents have played. Foul
ing was a negligible factor in spite
of the fact that the floor made
footwork anything but certain. Osa-
kis, playing their first game, has a
real outfit, paced the locals all the
way. Only a final quarter squirt
showed the locals into 6 point
lead. Keldahl was a power covering
the bank boards, in spite of the fact
that Osakis sported two boys over
six feet. That was the weakest
point not covering their shots.
Prominent in the scoring machine
were O'Gara, Cook, and Dubois
who totalled IS of the 80 local
points. Hooseline and Fezler were
scoring threats for Osakis with an
aggregate of IA of the 26 Osakis
counters.
