The vote was 47 to 22, with party lines wiped out All pending amend ments had been disposed of and general deoate begun before the re cess Wednesday. Passage of the measure was re garded as a foregone conclusion, but whether it woitfd reach the statue books was conceded by frienda and foes alike to be another ques tion. They held that this, probably would depend upx President Hard ing, since it was regarded- as very doubtful-that there could be obtain ed in the senate the necessary two thirds to pass the bill over an ex ecutive veto. The treasury apparently, is con fident that the president will veto the, bill if it passes as it now stands.

BEMIDJI, MINN., FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1922 MINNESOTA FAIR GETS Proprietor of Dollar Hajari* Mentor Set* Bright Future for Fair Association Rojf Phipps, proprietor of the Dol lar Farm, Mentor, is an ardent boost er for the Northern Minnesota Fair, as shown by a letter just received from him by Mrs. C. D. Lucas, secre tary of the Beltrami County Agri cultural association. The letter reads as follows: "After exhibiting a herd at your last fair, and getting the accommoda tions and kind treatment in the de partments which I was in, I think it is my duty to express my feelings toward the directors in charge. "I hate taken in a good many fairs and can safely say that I never met a better, more accommodating set of officers and directors than you have at the head of your association. This is the kind of treatment that is the backbone of xour fair It is bound to increase your entries, and the larger the entries, the larger the attendance. You have the best equipped buildings of any county in the Northwest, and, if I am not bad ly mistaken, before very long you will be having the largest fair in this section of the country. "You are to be more than congrat ulated on the success you have had in building up your fair to its pres ent high standard and I only hope to be with you again next year to greet the same officers and directors, with Mr. Clark at the head of the class and charge of the livestock department." The Dollar Farm exhibited a large showing of livestock here this year, and if that letter is to be taken as a criterion, Mr. Phipps will see to it that his farm is represented here next year. Such dpen statements on the part of exhibitors will greatly tend to increase the number of en tries and the quality of exhibits. The success of the Northern Minnesota Fair seems assoured.
