Leaders, it is said, are discouraging an influx - of measures that will crowd the legislative hop- ; per to the limit. They know that many proposed

laws have merely a local significance and are of

little practical worth to the state as a whole.

But whether they will be able to keep the representatives and senator's from sending up hun-

, dreds of bills remains to be seen.

bers of the house and senate to refrain from submitting every measure that a constitutent asks to have introduced. The check on the bill nuisance must begin with the legislators themselves. Early reports show' legislators are showing little inclination to hold down the number of bills presented Another policy which the leaders have announced is to go elow with the enactment of measures. If possible they intend to scrutinize legislation closely before it is sent to the governor for his signature. That also is wisdom. If the legislature can carry out a program of

GET OUT OF THE GROOVES By George Matthew Adams

All of u,i. live muchof our lives in grooves. it is the task of character to get out of these grooves of ours and i ravel on smooth, solid ground toward newer and better things all the time. The moat dissatisfied man on earth is the one who will not get out of his grooves. Eventually a bad groove is -bound to close up and swallow the man! Get out of your grooves. The mind doesn't like to travel in grooves. It likes variety, change, stimulation. The plant shrivels and finally dies when the soil is left untouched about it, whereas it thrives and grows as the soil is carefully spaded and loosened about it at regular Intervals. Many a man's failure has meant no more than getting him out of an unhealthy groove, thenceforth to teach him the value of an open eye and an active hand. . .Just the minute that you- feel no thrill from your work, you may be sure that you are E'tttling into an evil groove. Get out! The lesson of the groove is to avoid stagnation, rust, dissintegratlon. As you review the year that has just passed, be honest with yourself and make a list of the grooves Into which jou feel you fell, or worked jour way. Then get as far away from them as possible. Make this new year, one of fertilization and growth!

Purdue's Short Course The enrollment of 1,800 Indiana farmers in Purdue's short course is conclusive evidence of the progressive spirit of Hoosier farmers. Members of the Purdue agricultural faculty will conduct the courses and meetings that will be held for five days. The practical application of scientific methods and many subjects of general interest, such as necessary readjustments in Indiana agriculture and the like, will be presented. Farming has become an intensive industry, requiring not only practical and scientific skill, but also a knowledge of market conditions and business methods. The modern farmer must be a versatie man, more so in many cases than a business man whose scope of activities is confined to one line of trade. Husbandry in Indiana requires knowledge of live stock, dairying, grain growing, marketing to which must be added a general knowledge of business methods. Purdue's short course enables farmers to broaden their horizon and to acquire many facts which guide their decisions and enable them to cope with a situation that is challenging their industry. ' Farmers are close students of conditions. They realize the extent of the problem and are acquiring data on which to base their action. All of them have long ago abandoned guess work for the assurance that comSs from facts. '

The way to for the mem Political circles in Washington are speculating as to whom President Harding will appoint as secretary of the interior to succeed Albert Bacon Fall, who resigned to devote all his time i to his cattle and other interests. One of the men most prominently mentioned for the post is Sen. Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota, one of- the prominent senators, defeated for re-election. K e 1 o g g is completing his first term in the senate. A lawyer by profession, Kellogg stepped into the limelight by his vigoris iV- .1 frank KfcLLOGG- ous prosecution of the federal dissolution suits against the Standard Oil company, the Paper trust and the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger. Following the fame gained in the prosecution of these suits he was sent to the senate in 1916. Kellogg was city attorney of Rochester, Minn., for three years, and then county attorney of Olmstead- county for five years. In 1886 he was married, moved to St. Paul and became associated with the law firm of the late Senator Cushman K. Davis. BsocimiX Sil3. he represented the government at the jSs"1 CnSres f LaW"er3 anH He was a member of the Republican national committee from 1904 to 1912 and a delegate to the Republican nation! conventions of 190 1 and 1908.

Consolidating Railroads

No One Seems Able to Propose Plan Meeting: with General Approval of Roads and Public.

By FREDERICK J. HA SKIN WASHINGTON, D. Jan. 9. Legislation that will bring about the consolidation of the great railroad systems of the United States into still more compact units than even the greatest which now exist was one of the principal suggestions made by the President in his annual message to congress. The President's suggestion Is regarded by railroad experts as a wise one and nearly everyone in the country, apparently, wants to see the thing done, but the difficulty is to determine just how the consolidations shall be brought about. Students of McGuffey's Fifth Reader Mi for the Evening usings TAKE THESE WITH YOU THROUGH 1923 If you stay home in the evening you are afraid of your wife. If you go out in the evening you are a rounder and a bum. If you spend money you are foolish, extravagant, a mutt. If you hang on to your money you are a tightwad, a car-window, an egg. If you admire beautiful women you are a trifler, a flirt, a horqe-wrecker. If you do not admire beautiful women you are a moron and a mossback. If you own a car you are a ependthrift and are putting on a lot of airs. If you don't own a car you are a back-number, a hick and a flatwheeler. If you wear stylish clothes you are a dude and a cake eater. v If you wear sloppy clothes you are a slouch and a .shiftless nonentity. If you walk fast on the street you will bring on blood-pressure. If you don't walk fast you'will have fatty-degeneration and gout. If you go to church you are a business-seeking hypocrite. If you don't go to church you are a heathen and a bad example. If you make a lot of money you are a crook and several kinds of grafter. If you don't make a lot of money you are a simp and an incompetent. And so, as somebody has said, what is the use trying to please? Lessons in Correct English DON'T SAY: I am LYING out plans for next season. The soldier was LAYING where he fell.

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies' Arc Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of -sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the Addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that no one can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.

3ije U-S For IT "5 and similar textbooks of that period will recall a sentimental poem which was much in request at the time when the rustle of bead portieres was heard in the land and the Swiss chalet was the latest thing in suburban architecture. It was called "Which Shall It be." The poem told the story of a poor couple with a large family and of how difficult it was tp feed so many. A rich relative expressed willingness to take one of the youngsters and rear, him. At first the poor parents were delighted. Then came the time to decide, "Which Shall It Be?" The touching mid-Victorian sentiment of the poem brought out very clearly that the parents could not bring themselves to part with a single child and turneddown the offer, struggling along with their poverty as best they could. Very much the same thing has happened in respect to American, railroad systems. The transportation act of 1920 provided that the railroad systems of the United States could consolidate into some 20 great mergers. The interstate commerce commission was given authority to supervise the consolidations in a general way. Professor William Z .Riley, an eminent doctor of Harvard university, was retained by the commission to draw up a plan for the consolidation. He produced an ingenious plan, grouping the lines into a score of well balanced systems. Everything looked favorable to these consolidations which it was predicted would reduce operating expenses and give the public better service. With the plan ready and with the permission given by congress in the transportation act, the plan has not yet been consummated because the ! railroads can not agree among themselves on how they shall be merged. I The railroads of the country have, in one sense, composed one great transportatiojx family. They have been hard up and pressed for an expedient to bet- j ter their condition. . Now comes this proposal which, in effect, would break up the big family and send different parts into separate groups. The big railroad family is in the same position as the family in the story; it can not decide what to do and, so far, has failed to do anything. More Practical Than Sentimental The sort of separations from which the parents in the ballad recoiled would be met in the carrying out of the Ripley plan. The parallel is not quite so tenderly sentimental as the poem because there seems more of a tendency to fight than to weep over the proposed separations. An excellent example is furnished by the proposed grouping of the railroads running north and west out of Chicago. The Ripley plan would take the Great Northern, railroad and the Northern Pacific railroad and put them in one big system. It also would take the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Lift Off with Fingers ; Doeant Hurt a tilt! Drop a little Treezone" on an aching corn, instantly that corn stops hurting, then shortly you lift It right off with fingers. Truly! , Your druggist sells a tiny bottle ot "Freezone" for a few cents, sufficient to remove every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the toes, and the callouses, without soreness or irritation.

-1 Chicago, Milwaukee &SL Paul and put them in one big system. Out of four of the biggest systems in the country two big systems would be mad by consolidations. Some short line subsidiaries would be thrown in with each merger. The Great Northern and the Northern Pacific have come before the Interstate Commerce Commission and protested bitterly against this arrangement. They declare that they are eager to consolidate but they want to consolidate into a system which also includes the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. Through lengthy statements by witnesses, and lawyers and printed briefs they have shown that the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific jointly own the Burlington. For many years they have been building up joint rates and through routes designed to give shippers the best possible service by practically joining the facilities of the three systems. For the commission to work along the line of the Ripley consolidation which would take away the Burlington and join it to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, would destroy the work of years, it is asserted. In conclusion, the two big railroads flatly tell the commission that unless they can consolidate in a system including the Burlington, they will not consolidate at all. This case has advanced further than any other, but it is regarded as typical of the situation throughout the country. There have been built up affiliations among railroad companies which are difficult to sever and still, if some of them were not severed, the consolidations would have to be grotesquely gerrymandered. Railroad Families Are Devoted Every time the commission moves to put into effect the consolidations of the Ripley report there are floods of tears over the proposed separation of railroad families and, what proves more effective, very spirited fighting. Another case in point may be cited. The Southern Pacific railway for years has had an operating leasehold on the Central Pacific. Not long ago the supreme court of the United States, looking at the combination in the light of anti-trust laws, ordered the lines to separate. Under the transportation act they came before th einterstate com mission to see if they could not do with its permission what the supreme court would not permit under the antitrust laws. Their application seemed highly rea sonable from many points of view because they had built up joint facilities to take care of the shippers. The Union Pacific, however, instantly in tervened and urged the commission not to permit continuation of the merger. A Southern Pacific-Central Pacificfose stopped up? MENTHOLATUM quicWy clears

In the course of the examination it developed that the Union Pacific itself would be glad of the opportunity to buy the Central Pacific. This is another sample of Inability to agree on railroad consolidations and this sor,t of experience is leading the President and other leaders at Washington to feel that there must be legislation dictating compulsory consolidation. If left to decide for themselves how they shall merge or if given the option to come in or stay out at will, the roads will do nothing, according to experience so far. Congress will be asked to pass a law which shall lay down some 20 systems, possibly those named in the Ripley plan, and the companies will be forced to enter these consolidations. It is a curious reflection to consider how times and law change. Only a few years ago President Mellon and the directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad narrowly missed going to Jail because they trie to effect a consolidation of railroad facilities in New England for the pur pose of simplifying operation and low ering costs. Today, congress may pass a law to force the railroads, not only in New England, but all over the oountry, to do the very thing for which the New Haven was condemned. Miss B.
