"Clean Politics" Bill a New Law

Dirty linens the political clothesline not

clean politics" bill has become a law. After much
delay and political jockeying, the bill introduced in
Congress last year by Senator Carl A. Hatch, con-
sentative Democrat of New Mexico restrict poll
teal activities of Federal jobhoders, has finally
become law
President Roosevelt signed the bill, although he
thought some of its provisions vague, and he well
knew that its purpose to weaken his political
influence. After signing the BILL the President
ferred it "a step in the right direction toward
clean politics.
Provisions of the law will:
Prohibit any person from coercing any other
person voting in Federal election or primary.
Outlaw the use for political purposes of any re-
lief funds.
Ban the promising of Federal jobs in return for
political support.
Forbid any Federal officehoder below the rank
of policy making department heads or their imme-
date assistants from using his official authority
in a Federal election primary.
If enforced, this law will deprive any future
President party in power of the active political
work of collectors, district attorneys post
masters and many others who have heretofore taken
a prominent part in campaigns. Above all 1t was
designed to stop the purchase of votes through the
promise of relief. Intelligent voting instead Of vot-

chickens, dogs, and even children
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Munsterteiger,
who live about a mile and half
west of Buffalo, have a new prob

be making his home in a large ra-

the many varieties of eatables in
the garden. he prefers beet and

but Henry Kramer, 56-year old re-
tired farmer of Elba, makes money
on his. Kramer catches rattle
snakes and collects bounty upon
them. He has now captured 300
rattlers, 25 of them being caught
this year. For each snake a 5O-cent
bounty is paid, so to date he has
earned $154.50. July and August,
the hottest months of the year, are
usually the best ones in the rattle
snake business. The hobby which
he started twenty-years age shows
it's effects as his hands are SCARED
from bites, but because of poison

from serious illness because of

Fremming, employed along with
about 80 other boys in the Canning
Company's bean fields came home
from work recently with a live frog
in his dinner pail. When Mrs.

out jumped Mr.. Frog. With great
leaps the willy creature managed
to evade the entire family and
finally jumped into the cold air
register. What to do, couldn't reach
him and couldn't leave him. Pa
Fremming thot if he fixed a board
with some sticks nailed on for
steps, the frog might walk up dur

Mr.. Frog in the receptacle most

strings the critter was corralled

DOG CHEWS GLASS TO
FIND WAY TO COOL SPOT

ROCHESTER-It was a dog but
not a mad dcg-it just didn't like
the noon day sun. Recently a Pasa-
dena, California. family parked
their car in front of the Mayo
Clinic, locking their large fox ter
rier in the car. At first the car was
cool as it was parked in the shade
but as the sun moved around it
became insufferably hot in the
closed car. The fox terrier eyed
the one window that was not clos
ed rightly. Driven by drastic ac-
ton, he began chewing the glass
OF the window which was open
about an inch. A passer-by fearing
the dog was mad called the dog
catcher. Owner Of the dog and the
dog catcher arrived at about the
same time, to find the fox terrier
lying contentedly in the shade I'M
derneath the automobile. The car
window had a jagged hole about
ten inches in diameter-the work
OF the terriers teeth.

fishing in the Minnesota River re-
Gently for fish, but instead he fish
ed more than two-hundred silver
dollars out of OF Man River. He
walked along the Scott county side
OF the river casting, and near the
Rapids noticed some tin tobacco
cans sticking out of the mud. The
cans might not have had his at
tention but for the fact there were
some round discs near them which
turned out to- be silver dollars.
There was nothing about the cans
to indicate to whom the money orr
ginally belonged, nor the date Of
their placement but evidently they
had been there a long time, the
newest coin being dated 1916.
