willing to Adjourn Tuesday.
The house is willing to adjourn at -
n. Tuesday, March II, and the leglsla-
ture will adjourn, if the senate concurs,
on that date. Representative Allen S
adjournment resolution which has been
Tended off ever since last Monday had the
call this morning and could not be
lodged.

private little ''woodchucks' which must
be cared for ere the law makers can go
home and Mr.. Allen was turned down.
When he suggested Tuesday there was no
opposition.

the drouth in southwestern Minnesota

making a speech and blushed wildly
! over the unexpected reception accorded
his remarks. His composure still further
faded away when Representative Burns
went over and formally congratulated him
on his success.
