SPRING POEM.

Watertown, Wis. April 26, '2O Dear Mr. Editor: — No “Spring Poem” having appeared in your columns, I am sending one which may please some of your many readers. Here in the state we have had a long, cold winter, and are having a late spring. Garden-mak-ing has only just begun. Yours truly, Mrs. E. Kaub. APRIL. Boist’rous March has said good-bye, And the winter’s snow is gone; Warming sunshine, azure sky, Crucus’ smiling on the lawn— That’s April! Pussy willows by the brook. Creeping out in coats of gray Bursting buds where e’fe you look, Blue-birds coming back to stay— In April. Dripping sap and greening grass, Robin Redbreast’s “Cheer Up” call; Gentle breezes where you pass, Snowdrops by the southern wall — Mild April! Vanished sunshine, sullen sky, Cold, rough winds go hurrying past, While the skurrying snowflakes by, Greying clouds o’er all is cast — * That’s April! Smiles and weeping, laughter, tears, ’Neath the snow are May-flowers creeping; Joy and sorrow, hopes and fears, Frost and snow where buds are sleeping—- ’ Wild April! Myriad leaflets, tender green, Dainty flower-buds pushing thru; Sparkling rain-drops in between Rifts of sun-light; violets blue— Dear April! “The Flower Lady.”

WATCH TONER He’s the Winner Mrs. Andrew Kahler went to Dyer this morning.

CONGRESS STUDIES PAPER SHORTAGE

Congressional -investigation of the print paper shortage will be .started next Wednesday hr of the Senate committee on ™ facturers, headed by Renator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri. The committee’s plans include inquiry into supplies, distribution and prevailing prices , Pending congressional action, tne assistance of the State Department in the paper situation was invoked in connection with efforts to secure removal of restrictions upon export from Canada of raw materials used in paper manufacture. Appointment of a commission to seek removal of Canadian embargoes on pulpwood was urged by Senator Underwood, Democrat, Alabama, before the House foreign affairs committee earlier in the day. Retailiatory legislation should be enacted, he said, if friendly efforts toward this end were unsuccessful. “Serious injury will be suffered by our newspapers in a few years if there is no legislation.” Senator Underwood said.

SHE NOW SLEEPS LIKE WELL QUID WHOLE OF NIGHT

INDIANAPOLIS WOMAN SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA FINDS RELIEF. Indianapolis, Ind., April 29.—“1 simply can not find words to express thankfulness for the relief Trutona has given me, and I am telling all of my friends, about it,” said Mrs. Mary Mahoney, a wellknown Indianapolis woman of 509 Kentucky Avenue, recently. Mrs. Mahoney then continued thusly: “For several years I have been taking every kind of medicine. in an effort to get relief from constipation, nervousness and insomnia. For the past six months I could hardly sleep at all. Although I’d go to bed at nine o’clock it would often be early morning before I'd fall asleep.” “I have always been bothered with constipation more or less, until I began using Trutona. I’ve been taking Trutona for about two weeks now, and the result is that I sleep the whole night long like a well child. I’m not a bit nervous any more and my bowels are as regular as clock-work.” “I’ve taken a barrel of different medicines but Trutona is the only one that ever helped me. I want every one troubled as I was, to try Trutona for I know it will help them as it did me.” Trutona’s healthful action reaches every portion of the body, and performs its work faithfully and efficiently. Trutona rebuilds diseased nerves and tissues, creates a healthful appetite, and assists in*the assimilation and digestion of the food. Trutona is now being introduced and explained in Rensselaer at the Larsh & Hopkins drag store.

DOCTOR KILLS HUGE BEAR

Finally Settles Long Feud Between Two Medicos. Cordova, Alaska, population 400 In winter and 2,000 in summer, which boasts of being the ore shipping center of Alaska and of being the port where the ships to the outside stay the longest when they put in every eighth day, finally considers as settled a long feud between the two medical men of the community. x Since the days of the Klondike the medicos of Cordova, Dr. W. W. Council and Dr. W. H. Chase, have been rivals, not so much in the practice of their profession as in the gathering of bear pelts. By this time each has bagged enough pelts, so Cordova people say, to pave a block of Market street And each time one gets one bigger than usual he throws but his chest and considers himself the champion bear hunter of the community. But the championship seems to have been settled when Doctor Chase recently bagged a brown bear .measuring a trifle more than from tall to snout

EYES FOCUSED ON INDIANA

INDIANA AND CALIFORNIA ARE 'MOOT STATES IN - PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. * Washington, April 30.—Two candidates, Herbert Hoover and Senator Warren G Harding next Tuesday will reach a decisive stage in their respective campaigns for the republican nomination at Chicago, according to non-partisan opinion here. Hoover and Senator Hiram Johnson will fight it out in the primaries of their native state of California, while * Senator Harding will conae to grips on the same day with both Johnson and Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood at the Indiana state convention. Maryland On Monday. .— — As a sort of preliminary, Wood and Johnson will match their strength Monday in Maryland, on | which day the state wide primar- ; ies will be held. Johnson has swept across the state in a whirlwind stumping tour and on Saturday Senator Wm. E. Borah, of Idaho, will wind up the Johnson campaign in that bailiwick by a speech at Baltimore. The main centers of republican interest, however, further West. Hot Fight In Indiana. The three cornered fight in Indiana has been and still is, of the no-quarter kind, and when the smoke of the state primary clears next Tuesday there may be one or i two candidates missing. In republican circles, it is felt that . Senator Harding’s candidacy will receive its crucial test on that day and he will enter the fray some- • what handicapped by the small i plurality obtained by him over the I field in his own state —Ohio—as revealed by the count of yesterday. | Borah Goes To Maryland. ' Senator Borah is now stumping Indiana in behalf of Senator Johnson. His tour will be brief, however, only four speeches being in his date book —at Gary, Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Fort Wayne- । After addressing the voters of the ; last nained place, he leaves for Bali timore to be in at the finish in Maryland. Gen. Wood, according to his Washington headquarters, will in all likelihood return to Indiana before the final round there. ; Hoover Not In Indiana Fight. Herbert Hoover is not officially entered in the Indiana contest. However, and notwithstanding the former food administrator will not go without his fighting next Tuesday. He will have a man s sized job on his hands in California, where, in a state wide primary, he and the other native son, Hiram Johnson, have the entire landscape to themselves.

FRANK HILL PURCHASES “THE DEPARTURE,” FAST PACER

The following is taken from the Indianapolis Star of Thursday and will be of interest to our readers: The Rensselaer (Ind.) horseman, Frank Hill, was a visitor in Indianapolis yesterday and gave out the information that he-had purchased the fast pacer, The Departure, 2:07%, by The Exponent, 2:11%, from L. E. Brown, Delavan, Hl. The Departure was one of the dozen or more which Mr. Brown-put up in his “You-Set-the-Price” sale, and Mr. Hill got in the last bid, although same was not given out. The Departure was raced over both the mile and half-mile tracks last year by Joe Hildreth and made a very creditable campaign. He raced to his record over the Springfield, (DI.) track and was timed in 2:04% in a race at the Atlanta (Ga.) Grand Circuit meeting. While the price was not given it is known that Mr. Hill paid a long price for The Departure, for the son of The Exponent showed last season that he was a very swift pacer, and those kind sell for the big prices these days. . . „ Mr- Hill has three promising 2 ‘ year-old trotters in Lord Silk, Harvest Moon and Granite. _ The first named is a bay colt by Bingen Silk (3), 2:07%, which Mr. Hill purchased out of the Midway Stock Farm consignment at the Old Glory sale at New York last November and for which he laid down $625. Lord Silk is out of The Beautiful Rose, a daughter of Lord Roberts 2:07%. Harvest Moon Was bought at the Chicago sale last December and is by The Harvester 2.01, and out of Lucile Bingen 2:08%, aproducing daughter of Bingen 2:06%, second dam Lucile Marlow 2:08 % (dam of four), by Prodigal 2:16 and third dam Miss Edgar 2:29 (dam of eight), by Granite is by Gramar 2:07%, the fast little trotting stallion, owned by Mr. Hill.
