EXTRA SESSION fust of kind IN SEVEN YEARS Wandering Afield Bv Kenneth G. Crawford Press Staff Correspondent! serial session or Congress called by spel ‘ Hoover for enactment of f P 7m relief and tariff legislation will t L first of its kind in seven years. President Harding called an extrinrdinarv session in 1922, to set up an tariff, but President CooXe avoided this method of obtaining legislation. It is no secret that he was happier with Congressmen at home There were two such sessions In the Harding administration both of the same Congress, an unprecedented procedure. An emergency, agricultural tariff law was enacted at the first and the Fordnev McCumber act followed. Mr Hoover, hopes to accomplish both farm relief and tariff revision at his special session. Its principal object is to enact farm relief legislation, however. The raising of agricultural tariffs is a part of the general farm relief program and the revision of othed customs schedules Incidental to that. Wonder Far Afield Whether Congress can be kept within the bounds of this program is uncertain. Both of the Harding special session ranged far afield with results that probably had much to do with Coolidge's aversion to more of them. Theoretically, special sessions deal with problems too pressing to be delayed until a regular meeting of Congress and in most cases this is the fact. The first extra session was held in New York in 1789, not upon call of the president, however. There was no president until congress had canvased the electoral votes by which George Washington became the country's first chief executive. Congress met in March and he was inaugurated in April. From that time until the present, there have been 21 special sessions of different Congresses. Among recent president Coolidge and Roosevelt were the only ones who avoided them. McKinley Sessions Many of the extra sessions have dealt with the tariff. The very first enacted a tariff law and created the original three administrative departments which have since been increased to tpn. McKinley called Congress to Washington in 1897, and the Dingley protective tariff act resulted. Taft called another special session which to raise tariff barriers still higher with the Paine-Aldrich act, held largely responsible for Taft’s defeat after one term in office. The special sessions of the Wilson administration were probably the most important in American history. The first started in April, 1917 and was under way when this country entered the World War. The second was called in 1919, and the Senate refused to ratify Wilson's Versailles treaty. The woman sufferage amendment to the constitution was adopted at this session. — o RADIOOPERATOR IS AN INVALID Lima, 0. April 9—(UP)—Bedridden since he was 12 years old, James C.

Four other prospective towns are to spring up on townsite leases made by the University in Ward county, if oil developments takes place there, as in Regan county. The University received $1,600 cash payment for each of these 640 acre leases and will also get 20 per cent of net proceeds of subleases it the towns are built. o Troop No. 61 will meet at the Central school building at 7:15 o'clock Wednesday evening.

FREE FROM KIDNEY PAINS AFTER TEN YEARS SUFFERING • “Konjola Was The Medicine I Should Have Had In The First Place,” Lady Says In Praise Os Famous Remedy. Aw! MRS. EMMA HAMILTON "After 1 had taken a brief treatment of Konjola I realized that it was the medicine I should have had in the first place,” said Mrs. Emma Hamilton, 1214 East. Tenth street, Indianapolis. "For ten years I suffered from kidney trouble of the worst sort. Severe pains in my back almost prevented me from getting around. My feet and ankles were swollen and sore. Due to the sluggishness of my liver I became subject to dizzy spells. Worst of all was the fact that nothing gave me the slightest bit of relief. “It was just when my case was at its worst that I started on the Konjola treatment. It went right to the source of my troubles and in little over a month I was a well and happy woman. Konjola strengthened and invigorated my kidneys banished the swelling and pains. My liver was regulated. The dizzy spells vanished. I can fully understand why Konjola is called the master medicine of them all, and I praise It to everyone young and old.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug slore, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.

AUSTRALIA IS HUNTING OIL Washington, Apr. 9 —(UP)—While (he American Government and private producers are making an unprecedented effort to restrict the production of oil, Australia has recently spent $1„ 067-000 searching for it, the Commerce Department has been advised. The Commonwealth, in its desire to become independent of other nations from which it now Imports petroleum, has conducted an intensive search which thus far has been largely unfruitful. Nevertheless, the Commonwealth geologist, Dr. W. G. Woolnough in a rcent report, said "there seems to be a reasonable chance In spite of many disappointments and false trials, that Australia may yet enter the ranks of oil-producing countries." Western Australia and Queensland offer some hope of oil, the geologist said. Definite indications of a petroliferous condition have bee nfotind in these places, he stated. 0 _ NOTICE—The Bobo Feed Mill will run every day except Saturday from now on. 84-3tx
