Third Senator Indicted,

Senator Mitchell is the third sena-
tor to be indicted within the last two
years. The first was Senator Dietrich
of Nebraska. who was indicted on a
charge of receiving money for secur-
ing federal appointments and for
renting his property for government
purposes. He was discharged on a
technicality, but later a select senate
committee investigated him and de-
clared him innocent of any wrong
doing.
Senator Burton of Kansas was in.
dicted for receiving money from a
"get-rich-quick" concern in st. Louis
for influencing the postoffice depart.
ment in favor of the concern. He
was convicted and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and pay fine
of $4,000. His case was recently
argued on appeal before the United
States supreme court and a decision
is expected within short time.

Look here" said Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts to Senator Knox OF
Pennsylvania. Lets go and get
something to eat
They are new members and they de-
cided to flock together. They went
to the Senate restaurant. The head
waiter, usually quick on the trigger as
to new senators, did not recognize
them, and gave them seats in the
room given over to the common peo-
pie.
Knox and Crane sat down. Looking
through the doors they saw many Of
their colleagues feasting in state in
the inner room. They tried to get a
waiter, but none came at their call.
Finally a newspaper reporter who
knew them both came by.
Say" he said, you do not eat
here"

Clean and Pure Feed.

Poultry that are fed grain receive
pure feed, but it is not by any means
advisable to make grain the sole ra-
ton of the poultry. Soft feeds will
have to be fed to some extent and
troughs must be used for this kind Of
feed. Where the residue is left
to sour the fowls will show the eff
fects in time. Fermented feeds do not
appear to be readily digested by poul-
try. Carelessness in the matter Of
cleaning the troughs may cost the
poultry owner dear. 1t requires some
effort to have the feeding and water
ing vessels always clean, but it is the
only thing that should be done. Spoil
ed food is a disease breeder and it
should not be permitted within reach
of the fowls.

he drank in the rich, heavy perfume

felt that he would have given his

even her hair and prevented her voice
