is not to be called "dad" hereafter and he probably won’t have to repeat the request. !' President Harding will appoint '• Senator Harry New as postmaster general, thus slapping Congressman ’• Will Woods right on the wrist. Woods protested on the grounds that New did not support Beveridge at , least with any enthusiasm but that • position evidently is not due cause > for casting aside an old stand pat ’ friend. Now the New men declare I they will oust Woods from congress ' and so goes the tight merrily on. They are still introducing bills In the legislature at the rate of about fifty a day while practically all those Introduced the first da J 1 six weeks ago are still being buffeted about. Up to date four insignificant bills have gone to the governor. Their only chance is to put them through at the finish in, bunches of fifty or a hundred and that’s what they are probably planning to do. One trouble is that too much of our legislation is done just that way. i Hiram Johnson has decided to postpone his announcement that he will run for president in 1924 until ifter he comes back from Europe where he proposes to go soon to make an exhaustive study of economic conditions It is predicted that like till others who go abroad and make an honest investigation he will return with a report that something must be done. That’s what was decided in 1919 at the Versailles meeting but the trouble is that a few obstinate senators are always preventing it and the world stays upside down. Congress will adjourn in a couple if weeks and the balance of the sesion will-be largely devoted to trying to put over the ship bill, ' designed to fatten the pocket books cl those who own big oceau liners. The talk that the bill will provide ships to haul surplus crops over seas is the silliest kind of bunk for cargo ships are not included and will derive no benefit from the millions they want to vote. If the bill doesn’t I pass in the next two weeks it per-

Then get t ready for a busy and prosperous year t for the official reports show that more pig iron was made In America t in the month of January than any > month since October, 1920 and the output was* the largest of any January in history excepting 1910. The only falling off shown in reports i which is serious is wheat shipments and that it not likely to show improvement until financial conditions are improved abroad and they quit war and talk of war. This year promises to be better than for some time and we can all help by pushing forward a little ourselves. By a strict party vote the democratic tax bill written to conform with their platform was defeated in the house. The bill would have reduced taxes and prevented a too rapid development of such improvements which tend to place too great a burden the present generation I but evidently that is not the desire ; of those who have the power to do as they wish in the legislature. Th# 1 republicans have a majority in each house and the results of this vote as | well as that on the appropriation bill shows that they must stand for the bad things and be credited for any good that may come from the present session. The boys have been whipped into line and respond when the i "bosses” snap their fingers. Republican members of the senate announce they will amend the ap-i propriation bill which now calls for ( over fourteen million dollars so as to i provide for two million more includ- ’ ing an extra half million for the re-i' formatory and a million for a new . power house at Purdue. They don’t seem to care a rap about expenses or j ■ the fact that we are all trying to geti’ over the period of money spending I and next year they will be out trying to convinie you that the high taxes are due to the local officials. They ( will increase the governors emergency fund from $300,000 to $500,000 if they can and this money can be i spent at his. desire. However they 1 haven't * put this all over and there is a hope that enough votes can be . marshalled to prevent it if the people ; will show enough interest to tell 1 their senators how they leel about it.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James It. Alien, of Rochester, N. V.. suffered for years with rheumatism. Many’ times tills terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. Ho finally decided, lifter years of ceaseless study, that no one can b> free from rheumatism until the a< - cumulated impurities, commonly railed uric acid deposits, were dissolved in tin- Joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in niirio hu consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and complctey banished every sieif and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called AHenrhu. to others who took It, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through tile newspapers. He has therefore instructed druggists everywhere to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding Unit if the first pint bottle does not show the way’ to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment.

I've seen a man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and plow a straight furrew until autumn, then heturned around and harvested back. We have some big farms up there , gentlemen. A friend of mine owned one. which lie had to give a mortgage on. and I pledge you my word, the mortgage was due on one end before they could get it recorded at the other. You see it was laid out in counties. And the worst of it is it breaks up families so. Two years ago I saw a .whole family prostrated with grief—- | women yelling, children howling, and dogs barking. One of my men had his camp truck packed on seven four-mule teams and he was going around bidding everybody goodbye." "Where was he going?” “He was going half way across the farm to feed the pigs," replied the Dakota man. "Did he ever get back to his family?" "It isn’t time for him yet. Up there we send young married couples out to milk the cows and their children bring lumie the milk.” Fargo Frank. USUAL APOLOGIES Willie, dressed in best of sashes Smoked a pipe way down to ashes.

THE COST OF LIVING The cost of living's climbing with ea<h succeeding day; it takes a lot. of rhyming to keep your ’unk” in the hay. One ell of dark molasses now costs a Dig round bone; and as for fruit in gtasj.es, the price makes pilgrims moan.
