pen which had just undergone con-
siderable hardship. The pen was left
in Buds shirt pocket when the gar
ment was put aside with other laundry.
Unnoticed, it was given good scrub
bling, put through the ringer three
times, and finally starched and hung
on the line to dry. BY this time the
pen was discovered, and strange as it
may seem, it was still clipped to the
shirt and apparently was none the
worse for its trip through the laundry.

purchase an additional 700 feet at an
estimated expenditure of $40. He said
he had no estimate of the cost of
laying the line in 4-foot deep trench.
The council approved a motion
by Friedsburg to notify Savoy resi-
dents that service may be ternin-
ated within 80 days.
1t also directed Buccowich to pre-
pare a cost summary and check all
homes concerned as to their water re-
quirements at the request of Ahola.
The street running through the
Zenith property will also have to be
vacated, and a hearing was set for
Nov. Is.
At Friedsburg's request the council
approved the policy of assessing home
owners outside the city limits $50
for each family connecting to the
sewage system, with an additional
charge of 81 per month.
The city's liquor ordinance will have
to be changed and cigaret ordinance
adopted because of changes in the
state law.
The liquor ordinance was amended
to close all off-sale package stores on
five holidays, including New Years,
Memorial Day, independence Day,
Thanksgiving, and Christmas. On
evenings preceding these holidays,
unless prohibited, these stores may re-
main open until 10 p. m, except on
Christmas eve, when the regular clos
ing time of p. m. must be observed.
The regulation requiring closing on
election days until 8 p. m. remains.
Cigaret vendors must now secure
their licenses directly from the city
clerk instead of from the state as in
the past. New licenses on Jan. will
| cost $12, the same as now, according
| to a tentative draft of the new ordi-
nance, with the entire revenue accru-
| ing to the city. Before, the state kept
| 10 per cent and sent the city 80 per
| cent.
The request of 10 home owners in
both the east and west end to have
trees planted on the boulevard was
killed for the time being by laying the
petition on the table.

SHORTS ABOUT
TOURISTS

Minnesota stands to profit materially
should the movement for two vacations
each year assume stable proportions,
which now seems quite likely. With
machinery doing more and more of
mans work, and leisure time as re-
suit increasing right along, a two
weeks fishing trip in summer and an
other week or so devoted to outdoor
sports in winter appears like a prac-
tical and sensible program And Min
nesota is right there on both occasions
the country's No. outdoor vacation
land both summer and winter.
They're all doing it-or will be soon
that is voting state appropriations
for tourist advertising. Michigan's
governor recently signed bill appro-
priating $325,O00 for this purpose TO.
the biennium Other states are greatly
increasing these budgets. Georgia
getting into the game for the first time
has made available more than -four
times as much as Minnesota's ole
tourist fund. In Pennsylvania they are
proposing to use 100000 of the motor
tax money for this purpose, in add.
ton to a direct appropriation of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars. In Wis
consin the legislature is considering
creating a state department. of publ.
city with an annual appropriation o.

The agricultural appropriation Dill
as passed by the Senate includes
$3.50, 100000 for parity payments on
five basic crops, or $23,OO0,OOO more
than was set up for this purpose by
the House. Objective of the Senate APP
preparation is IS per cent Of parity.
Most senator's felt that despite the
proposed purchase of farm products
with some of the $1,000, 100000 set
aside for that purpose under the lease
lend appropriation, agriculture still IS
due to take a licking during the de-
tense boom already under way.
Even though farm prices are up some
they are still below parity because
prices of things the farmer must buy
are increasing faster than those OF
farm products due to higher mate
rial and labor costs.
Even so, this writer would have
favored keeping the parity approprl-
alton at the House level had there
been any real effort on the part o.
the Administration forces to reduce
appropriations for other non-defenst
purposes. There has been no such ef'
fort. and appropriations for civil de-
partments in almost every instance art
going up, not down.
