Crime of coming home-Now Is
the time of year when the return

from foreign countries. Out here
in the small towns where you stand
in the center square and gaze three
miles out in the country, we have
a natural curiosity that brings
forth questions at the returning one.

to talk SO long and earnestly of

loses his innate fear of saying the
wrong thing and loses his fear of
firing an audience when fortified
with strange and entertaining facts

CAPITOL OVERLOOKING
From Our Exchanges


Pressure for space by Washing
tons new federal CRoosevelt) agen-
cies and expanding old ones finds
the government faced with a new
housing problem-the problem OF
finding offices for it's capital fam
lily Of 114,544 employees.
This fact-amazing in view OF
Franklin Roosevelt's promise as a
candidate to cut federal payrolls %
per cent-was exposed recently in
an article in the Washington Post
by Reporter Robert G. Albright.
Large-scale commercial space in
Washington's larger private build
ings virtually was exhausted two
years ago, and government space
control officials are now combing
the city for accommodations that
can be made over into quarters for
new agencies, Albright wrote.
Privately owned office space rent
ed by the government in Washing
ton has reached new peaks, PAS
IT'S square feet, against 3,215,OO0
square feet last year and 2,943,OO0
square feet in 1896. The rental bill
has climbed accordingly to $4,000
600 for this year, compared with
s2,8OO,O0O last year and $2,694,792
the year previous.
In 1888 the government paid a
rental bill of only $4,000 for l.
1885, 35 square feet Of private office
space in Washington.
A multiplicity of new agencies
created by the last congress and ex-
banded activities and larger staffs
voted most Of the old ones accounts
for the present office hunt. Some
like the new national aeronautics
board, already are clamoring for
quarters and others, like the new
wage-hour office in the labor de-
partment, soon will be.
New buildings being completed by
the government, notably the Apex
and the new bureau of en-
craving structure, have failed to
solve the space problem, as vacated
quarters Immediately were taken
over by agencies that had been
waiting in line. With most exist
ing large structures in the city full
ly occupied, officials recently have

Animal dom-Strange are the ways
in the animal kingdom and their
antics don't coincide with things
that human behavior dictates. Out
on the Clarence Kiken farm a eve
gave birth to twins. Strangely
enough one Of the twins was a
black sheep. Evidently sheep don't
attach so much Importance to that
human thought regarding black
sheep, for Mrs. Eve completely ig-

of her favored black. (. Well the
white one had to be raised on a
bottle. =. But the story goes fur
Their than that. Now the orphaned
white lamb has found a new friend
and playmate. He gambols on the
green with the dog and does every
thing the dog does but bark. :.
What stops the lamb is that the dog
can out endure him. Once he trot-
ted faithfully behind the dog over
to the neighbours place. But he
couldn't make the return trip, and
they had to go and bring him back.

Obviously Farley's Endorsement of the Democratic

1t is generally known Democratic victory in Min

Mystery man-Stranger in our
midst Is lone, full-bearded Pete
Thometz. He stands, though resi-
dent here for long, a most complete
mystery man of Main Street. Few
know today his full name. Most
often, because of the shade of his
beard and the mystery that seems
to veil his life from others, he is
known as Black Pete" The name
originated with the kids of the ham,
let, not out OF disrespect for one
older than themselves, but because
to the child mind there is some
thing strangely terrifying about a
man with a beard. Some there are
who know him quite intimately, but
1t is strange that to so many he
should be completely unknown. Tall,
spare, and rangy despite years that
have dashed that blackness Of his
beard with shots of gray, to talk
to him Is like talking to hemlock.
Strange tales used to fly about the
neighborhood regarding this man
who lived alone in a big, rambling
house by the tracks. AS is the GUS
tom in small towns when people
seem incensed to find out all they
can. Some said he had a parrot:
others said he had dogs. Perhaps.
Yet though he is alone, his appear
ance is never anything but neat and
tidy. Often as a summer sun
played longer on the days, he crop
ped short his beard, allowed his face
smooth-shaven to face the public
view. But always it hid that Wis
age in the winter. Above it, peer

symbol Of approaching autumn, its
giant-sized wheels numbered labor

farm. 1t crept along like an
diversified snail seemingly with pow
er pent up inside that it could not
release for locomotion. But once
on the lot and it was fed cord wood
and old straw it belched forth black
smoke over the countryside, and in
to the separator it relayed power
untold. Now the more easily
handled, more powerful by many

A. F. of L. Indorses Congressman Knutson-

to that comes the following letter from William

My dear Congressman:
According to your legislative record
measures of interest to Labor while Mem
Der of Congress you entitled to the sup
port of the organized wage earners in the
Sixth Congressional District of Minnesota.
The aid you have given in supporting the
measures in which the American Federation
of Labor was interested have materially
helped in their passage, and, therefore, it is
pleasure to extend to you the official
dorsement of the American Federation of
Labor in your campaign for denomination and
reelection.
I have no doubt that all organized wage
earners and their sympathetic friends will
give you every support during your campaign
for denomination and reelection.
Yours very truly

President,

Congressman Knutson has always worked for his
district whole, not favoring group above the
other. His greatest interest however, has been in
farming his constituents of the Sixth District
largely agrculturasts those dependent upon agri
culture for their living. The letter from President
William Green, of the A F. of L., indicates his fair
to labor also, and should remove any doubt
his interest for all groups in the matter of honest
helpful legislation.
