A VALENTINE
By Carmen Malone.

BY Carmen Malone.
One day, someone whose name I did
not know
Gave me a valentine.
It was no card and verse with senti-
ment
Revealed in every line,
Nor was it made of silken ribbon
strung
Through fragile paper lace;
But shall treasure it for what it
was
A gift of love and grace.
Some day, humbly pray l may re-
turn
That valentine in kind,
Perhaps not to the giver, but to some
one,
Else whom shall find
Someone who needs pleasant, gentle
word,
A friendly, helping hand;
And then I hope that he who gave
to me
Will know-and understand.

State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS

Governor Benson's speech at the
dinner given in his honor Saturday
at the Minneapolis auditorium by the
Minnesota Farmer-Labor Association,
which virtually marks the opening
of the 1888 state campaign, can be
interpreted as meaning that the Gov
ernor intends to go before the peo-
pie on his record in office and on the
record, if such it can be called, es-
tablished by the Republican OPPOSE
ton in the Legislature. 1t means also
that he will carry the fight to the
opposition.
In other words, it will be CAM
paign, so far as he is concerned,
on issues and programs. If the OPP
paign of personalities, mudslinging
and throwing dust in the eyes of the
voters, in an effort to escape con-
centration on issues and programs,
the Governor will in all likelihood
refuse to be drawn into such a CAM
paign.
Assurance of national recognition
that the relief problem has become
the most pressing item of business
for government today is given in the
Presidents request to Congress for
deficiency appropriation of some
$3.50, OOO, 900 for relief purposes. Thus
even the ears of those in Washington
can no longer avoid hearing the cries
of the unemployed and the needy
for adequate relief.
At this writing it is not known
just what Minnesota's share in the
increased appropriation will be, but
indications are that the state will
benefit to considerable extent. The
deficiency appropriation, according to
President Roosevelt, is intended es-
pecially for those centers of manu-
featuring, where this winters relief
rolls have been extra heavy. That
would include the Twin Cities and
some of the smaller cities of the
southern counties. 1t lessons the need
for the calling of special legislative
session.
The continual fight for the passage
of the Schwellenbach-Allen resolu-
ton, which would expand the WPA to
include those now on direct relief
loads and able to work, received new
impetus last week when Governor
Benson wrote to Senator SchWellen-
bach that the resolution had his full
support. Observers say that the pas
sage of the resolution seems more
than ever likely at the moment.

WALT DISNEY
 AGAIN HONORED
Harvard Presents Degree to Him-Oldest College
 Graduates 2,2OO

Cambridge, Mass, June 23-CUP) Walt Disney, who did not finish high school, today received his sec- ond. honorary degree within 24 hours when Harvard university awarded him, Master of Arts de- gree such as Yale conferred yes- terday.
 Some 2200 degrees in course and advanced degrees were awarded at commencement exercises marking the end of the 302d year of the nations olsest university.
 Day-long ceremonies linking Har- yard with its beginning in Colonial times were rich with tradition. There was the opening of the exercises by the high sheriff of Middlesex count ", the seating of the university president in an ancient Tudor chair, the participation of church and state officials.
 But as the capped and gowned seniors marched from Holworthy hall past the statue of John Har- ward to the Sever quadrangle, new quirk in commencement styles was evident. Most of the $40 seniors wore academic gowns considerably shorter than the traditional costume and open at the front. Official but not compulsory, the new-type gown was not adopted by the entire class.
 In the commencement procession were the governor and lieut-governor of Massachusetts, the justices of Massachusetts, army and navy of- f1cers, church dignitaries, candidates for degrees, alumni and other guests
 o. Russell Allen of Greenfield was first marshal, Vernon H. Struck of Centralia, H., second marshal and John L. Dampeer of Cleveland, o., third marshal.
 Of the $40 seniors, 302 or over one-third graduated with honors. The highest scholastic distinction, that of winning the A.B. or SB. Summa Cum Laude, was awarded to 16 men, includinng:
 Gleason L. Archer, Jr., Norwell, Mass; Harold Van B. Cleveland, Cincinnati, O.; Hume Dow, St. George, NY; Robert c. Jones, Tole- do, O.;Gordon M. Messing, Indian apolis, Ind; John A. Moore, Clayton, Mo-; William A. Selz, Dayton, O.; Alan s. Trueblood, Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.; Francis G. Blake, Jr., New Ha- ven, Conn; and Paul R. Vogt, Mill waukee, Wis.

TAXPAYERS VISIT
 ASSESSORS OFFICE
Following Annual Custom of Swearing to Owner
 ship of Property

Hundreds of taxpayers are spend- ing time daily in the office of the assessors swearing to ownership of property listed as theirs, an annual requirement of state statute. AL ready about 10000 of the 30,000 to 35,000 property and automobile own- ers have fulfilled this requirement..
 After the first of July 8 penalty will be invoked under thas statute of 10 per cent valuation will be add ed on all assessments unless the owner has certified as required. In tho instance of an automobile listed at valuation of $100, this wouldn't amount to much, $l10 for the new valuation with the penalty included, at the current rate of 31 mils.
 But should person own prop erty valued at say $20,000, then ad- dition of 5000 as a penalty would mean payment of $62 more merely through failure to certify this won- ership.
 The rush of the last of the month will find several thousand persons hastening to the obce to escape the penalty, as has been the case in other years, the assessors forecast today And, if they arrive on July 2, they will find it just too late to avoid the 10 per cent penalty. The state law is strict in this respect.

JAPAN IMPOSES
 DRASTIC PLANS
Nation Pledged to Win Un- declared War at
 Any Cost

Tokyo, June 23.-(UP)-The gov- ernment imposed drastic war time economy plan on the nation today and pledged itself to win the war in China regardless of the time it would take.
 The emergency plan includes pro- vision for price fixings compulsory use of substitute materials and rigid ly controlled domestic consumption in order to conserve resources and point every man, woman and child in the nation toward victory.
 In long statement which was preamble to the official decrees, the cabinet expressed its determination to crush the Chinese government regardless of the length of hostili- ties.
 To insure victory, the statement said, the people must make greater sacrifices and bend all efforts to give priority to production of war munitions and to the expansion of foreign trade.
 This drastic war time plan, to mobilize the nations power in an undeclared war which was to last a few weeks and has not reached its climax after nearly a year, fol- lows a cabinet reorganization which brought group of strong men to key posts.
 Gen. Kazushige Ugaki was made foreign minister, Gen. Seishiro Itag- aki was named war minister, Gen. Sadao Araki became minister of na- tional education and Seihin Ikeda, one of the country's leading fi- nanciers, was made finance minis ter.
 Soon after the reorganization it was made plain that Japan was de- termined to fight on to victory and would not welcome efforts by any third nation to mediate.
 Next came an extension of the war zone in China, and a warning to foreign interests that bombing attacks might be made all over the enlarged area, and plain intima- tions of an extension of the war to southern China, entrailing occupa- tion of Hainan Island which dom- mated the coast of French Indo China.
 Today's decrees provide for re- striction of domestic use of steel, pig iron. gold, platinum, copper. brass, zinc, lead, tin, nickel, an- timony, quicksilver, aluminium, as- bestos, cotton, wool, paper and pulp, leather, lumber, oil, benzine. rubber, acids and other materials necessary to munitions manufacture and other essential ends.
