UNDERWOOD BUSY PAVING THE WAY
Appropriation Bills Are First to be Considered by Congress--Other Important Matters Are Scheduled.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--House Democratic Leader Underwood set in motion Monday at the opening of dongrewss following the Christmas holiday recess, his steam-roller for the rapid passage of appropriation bills to clear the path for special legislation desired by Pres. Wilson supplemental to the anti-trut laws and for rural credits to aid the farmers. The District, of Columbia appropriation bill carrying $11,000,000 for stated government expenditures was passed. The postoffice appropriation bill, $305,000,000 was put on the calendar for immediate consideration to take precedence over all other legislation. The fortifications bills with its $8,000,000 providing for defenses of the Panama canal, Hawaii and the Philippines will come before the house in two days. The military appropriation bill is nearly ready. Before consideration of these bills is completed other appropriations will be reported to the house and take commanding positions in the matter of consideration. Pres. Wilson also is put on the waiting list with his recommendation for trust regulation and the formulation of rural bank credits to aid the farmers. The latter legislation is demanded by the country representatives in congress to assist them in
their fights for renomination in con-
gressional primaries this summer, and trust legislation is causing a division among democrats in congress between those who are for conservative action and those who are raciical in their views. I'nderwood cannot get more than three days a week on the average for consideration of the appropriation lills. Allowing a week of six days f-r each of the 15 appropriation bills to come with three or four days I", each week to legislate on these bills it will be Aug. 15 before they can be passed by congress. This includes action by the senate can uncertain proposition and all senate and house conferences on differences. Consideration must be given during these months to the seamen's bill, the immigration bill, the Alaskan railway bill and more than 21,0 j0 private claims, pensions and other lulls on the house calendar. Leader Underwood hopes to adjeiirn congress by July 15 at the latest, that congressmen can get back into their districts and make their tights for re-election. The fate of anti-trust legislation and of rural credits legislation is hanging in the balance. There was no ceremony on the reopening of the house. The roll call disclosed 269 members.

J. 1 McfilLL. Starting out on my regular Monday morning round for prey, a 00-mile gale picked me up bodily and carried me around the J. M. corner, sent me whirling and sliding along Washington a v.. and after many tits and starts down Michigan st.t landed me right side up in front of McCill's furniture store. That was gratifying. I had been trying to get in touch with Mr. McGill several times but he always v.-as out. This morning I found him in. Tripping down the green carpeted aisie through, a golden oak lores', of tables.
chairs and davenports I arrived at the) otiice in the- rear and no sooner had I presented myself at the door than a voice called. "There's that man after j your lirst dollar, John!" .
Peering around a desk in the direction of the voice I espied Mortimer Iteed. He wore one those grins that buckle back of the ears. For Monday morning he xas in a remarkably good humor and occasionally sprinkled a little salt-petre into the interview. "John wouldn't dare to tell j ou about his lirst dollar," he explained to me. "because he would get arrested." McGill didn't seem to hear him. Having been thus relieved of the doubtful pleasure of asking him the opening question, Mr. McGill settled himself back in his chair, clasped his hands behind his head, crossed his knees and after taking a squint into the past for a moment or two, began thus: "The first money I earned was blood money " "Whaddaye mean, blood money?" I interrupted. "Celling papers." he explained briefly. "Then my first regular job was polishing brass in the Pittsburgh Locomotive works. Polished it on a hurting wheel, you know, and they didn't have exhaust hoods then. I swallowed a third of the dust." "Couldn't stand very much of that?" I ventured. "No. I knew it wasn't good for me and although a dollar a day was good pay for a hoy of sixteen, T decided to look for something else." "One morning another lad and I were walking down the tracks with our dinner pails with this in mind, and we sat down by the tracks to talk it over. Wo got so interested alxhut getting a. new job that the second whistle blew before we realized we were late, so we decided to look for work that day." iMr. McGill then related how they
MANY APPLY FOR JOBS
WITH FORD COMPANY
went over into the city and looked for jobs along Fifth av. At a carpet store was a sign "Boy Wanted". Young McG ill's companion urged him to po in saying that he had tried for that job himself bat he was too small to land it. McGill followed his sugi. and landed the job. The fact of the matter," Mr. Mc-
- ill continued, "was that the other t
iellow never had tried for that job; he duin't have the nerve. He was rather surprised when I came out with the announcement that I had been engaged. Hut he got a plaoe himself that day as a jeweler's apprentice." "Pretty little sorrj-, John that ought to look good In print." facetiously observed Heed. "Now isn't it funny how a little ireident like that wiil change a man's whole future? If I hand't landed that job so easily I might have been discourage! and still be polishing brass at 3-' a day." "Mebbe that's what you ought to be doing anyway," ventured Keed. "I stayed with that carpet houso 22 years." continued McGill again ignoring th interruption, "and while there 1 first made the acquaintance ,T Mr. "Wondc-roth. He v.as selling furniture for Koper of Mishawaka then and it was through our friendship begun there in Pittsburgh that I itnally was persuaded to start up in business here in South Bend." At this juncture a long distance call from Grand Kapids terminated the interview, and I departed so that the J. P. McGill Co. could order a few carloads of cellarettes, beds, chiffoniers, escritoires, etc-, without interruption.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1". Monday

Why delay so serious a duty? Sickness comes quickly, and a will should be drawn when the testator is in physical and mental good health. Call today and let's talk it over. This bank will write and care for your will and no one except the officer writing It will be acquainted with its contents. Poorly drawn wills supply the courts with hitter and disastrous litigation. We make it our duty to safe
guard the estate and the happiness of the testator's family by preparing wills which anticipate, as nearly as possible, all future conditions.
