 Washington, April 2. - (UP) - Members of a Re- publican-Insurgent Demo- cratic House coalition plan ned today to prevent further consideration of President Roosevelt's government re- organization bill. Through parliamentary maneuvers they already had forced the measure into position where it could receive a quick death, or, at best, win through after a long up- hill fight. Administration leaders, thWarted in an attempt to close general debate, conceded that the fight would extend into next week, but were confident of eventful passage.
 Bill Is Beset
 Refusal of the House, by vote of 191 to 149 to end debate left the bill beset by technical difficulties from which opponents hoped to select weapon for a fatal blow.
 Meeting for the first Saturday session since January 15, they will attempt to prevent the house from going into committee of the whole for further consideration. In each of the two previous days of debate the opposition has fought this tech- nical procedure. The first day they lost POP to 143. Yesterday the vote was 26O to 139. Today they believed that house sentiment had crystal lized and that the motion might be defeated.
 Automatic Death
 If they succeed, they plan i'm mediately to table a motion to re- consider, and thus automatically kill the bill that would give the president power to transfer and consolidate executive agencies, with

of the board. Raft, through his agent,
Myron Selznick & Co., refused to start
work in the role after having signified
his complete approval OF his part in
the final script, the courtesy of such
approval having been extended to him
by the company, notwithstanding that
his contract does not require such ap-
proval.
The picture was originally scheduled
to start production August !, 1888, at
which time Raft signified his readiness
to start work in the leading male role
in the film. Temporary postponement
of approximately 10 days OF the start

FIRST AID CLASS
CLOSED MONDAY
Conducted BY -Four
Sank Centre Physicians
Large Number Attended

Monday evening, the local Red
Cross completed its second First
Aid School, after six weeks OF In
struction and demonstration under
the four Sank Centre physicians.
Thirty-one men and women from
Upsala, Holdingford, Swanville,
Grey Eagle, Clarissa and Sank Gen.
tire took the examination Monday
evening to qualify for First Aiders
certificates.
Doctors of the city were assist
ed by Messrs. Harley Forsythe, Al
Frederickson, Ray Woods and the
school nurse, Miss Esther Bone.
Glasses were held evenings in the
Junior High School building,
through the courtesy of the School
Board. Mr.. Mcpherson, superin-
tendent of schools at Upsala,
spokesman for the class, asked for
a rising vote of thanks to Sank
Centre physicians for their work in
conducting the classes, saying: I'VE
ask the chairman of this class to
carry our thanks to each of the
four doctors, who gave so unset
fishly of their time instructing us
and may I include also the nurse
and the three men who assisted
the doctors"

misery and suffering that follow
in their wake Is beyond descrip-
ton. At least let us resolve to
keep out of future European wars.
We have enough problems at home
to engage our full attention.
EXCEEDS ESTIMATES
An estimated farm income for
1888 is $7,500,O00,O00 but late fig
ures indicate that these figures
will be exceeded by 125 million
dollars. The report calls attention
to the fact that the high spots for
December are the materially high
er net farm incomes forecast fer
1889.
Agriculture has a long way to
go before it's income will even APP
proximate cost of production.
Personally, I do net look to see
a balance until the American mar
ket has been restored to the
American farmer. It is all very
well to talk about selling our sur
pluses to other countries, where
the world market price prevails,
but it has been my observation
that such sales are always made
at a big sacrifice, either to the
producer or to the government.
With a potential market at home
for at least 80 per cent Of what
we produce and once the buying
power Of our people has been re-
stored there will be no more sur
pluses, neither will there be a
farm problem.
EXPORT SURPRISES
The world wheat carry-over for
this year is in the neighborhood of
one billion three hundred million
bushels, which is the largest in
history. OF that amount Americas
surplus Is probably three hundred
million. To ship this surplus to a
foreign country will not in any
way affect prices because it
would yet remain a part of the
visible supply. and such exports
would work an unfair disadvan-
tage to our millers because of
the fact that they must continue
to pay and sell for domestic prices
while the foreign flour miller will
be placed in a position to under
sell any flour exports from this
country. The problem is one that
7 would not care to undertake to
solve with the present farm pro-
gram in operation.
A SENSIBLE PROPOSAL
For a number of years we have
had a group in this country who
have openly advocated changing
our form Of government. Some
would change it in an orderly
manner while others would not
hesitate to resort to violence. One
and all have been free to express
their opinions and views without
any interference on the part Of
the government. Had these same
people aired their views in Russia

Of their sons condition, Mr.. and

fore his death.
Born and reared in Atchison, Mr..

TURKEY POOL
TOPPED LAST YEAR
Said 10000 Pounds
Of Live Birds Dressed
Out at Coop. Plant

Running to a total of 5000
pounds, Sank Lake Creamery's tur-
key pool closed Tuesday after a
weeks run, George Strauss, secre-
tary, announced this week. The
pool this year topped last years
report by nearly 5000 pounds, he
said.
Ben johnson, Land O'Lakes, ex-
pert grader, left Tuesday afternoon
for Minneapolis after conducting
the grading, said Of Sank Centre
birds received, "They were fine
quality"
For the first time the Sank Lake
pool box-packed birds received to
ship directly through the Land O
Lakes to eastern markets. Monday
a shipment was sent, the last of the
pool left for Minneapolis early this
week.
Explaining the reason for boxing
birds here, George Strauss pointed
out that by packing here, expenses
Of packing and handling can be
pared and better quality birds can
be packed. He explained that a
statement made last week that div
idends had not been paid in prev
ious years was mis-statement.

or Germany or Italy, they would
have been stood up against a wall
and shot.
Over in Europe there are mill
liens of good. thrifty and honest
people who would come here and
be loyal citizens If permitted to
do so. Why not work out plan
to trade the two groups so that
those who want to come here may
do so while those who are dissat-
isfied can be sent to the country
whose government they approve
Of? Such a plan might envolve the
expenditure of twenty-five or
fifty million dollars but If 1t could
be put in operation it would be
money well spent. We do not want
to hold anyone here who disap-
proves Of our government and in
situations.
OF course such an arrangement
would have to be entirely agree
able to those who were to be ex-
patriated because after all, this
is a free country.

broken arm for nearly three weeks

I am planning to build q new
broOder house before next spring.
Could you give me any informa-
ton ON the new round-top type.
The round-top brooder house has
become very popular. It has many
advantages-easy to heat, more
portable than other types. and the
window arrangement distributes
light evenly over the floor, and
provides ventilation to fit all
weather conditions. The round roof
is easy to construct. A house with
a 12- by 14-foot floor will be large
enough for 400 baby chicks, or $50
young turkeys. Feeding porches
may easily be attached to the
house, also. Plans for its construc-
ton may be obtained from a
county extension agent, or from
the Bulletin Office, University
Farm, st. Paul-Cora Cooke, ex-
tenion poultry specialist.
