Two minutes in the Vice President S
presence is enough to make you for
get everything about your own emo
tional machinery, and just to be SO
sorry for him that he feels he has to
be so pleasant. You feel as if he
must be saying to himself. Its
better to have smiled by force than
never to have smiled at ALL; and
the result is very like Our response

mand for joviality, after the photo
grapher had put the cold iron clamp
on the back of our heads. just feel
sure that after hard days work of
trying to make the world smile with
him, he gets out the daguerreotypes of
his ancestors and envies them their
fierce, contracted brows and general

tenance.

'Ah. no. smiled the great man. "A plain name

driving to the Capitol in their victoria that
morning, they encountered the President leaving
the White House grounds afoot, and had drawn up
to greet him.
You ought to follow my democratic example

said.
Perhaps if l too young and fat, Mr.. Presi-
dent, it would present the same attractions, the
Vice President explained.
Whereat Mrs. Vice President tactfully intervened
with, Young, but not fat! No with the iron
muscles of Mr. President will ever be fat :"
Which, of course, pleased the President who. it
seems, agrees with certain statesman who denied
increasing weight by saying, No gentleman ever
weighed over two hundred pounds.
Then the Vice President included Mrs. Todd and
myself in most confidential smile, he added,

Railroaders Say Oil Must go

Claim City officials are Alarmed

Members Krause, Issleib and Presi-
dent Busard OF the Board of Public
service, were in conference with a
number of local railroad officials and
others Thursday in regard to the
oil coming from the Erie gas house
which Is said to be destroying the
septic tanks at the Sewage Disposal
plant. Little has been accomplished
in checking the flow of the oil in
to the plant and the railroad Off
cials state that they are unable to do
anything which might better the
condition.
Mr.. Allen, of the Erie, stated that
he has tried to remedy the matter,
but claims that the city does not
furnish sewers of such a character as
to prevent the oil being carried into
them. The trouble will be threshed
out thoroughly by the railroad Of
ficials and effort will be made to check
the disturbance, although according
to the railroad officials, the oil can
do little harm to the plant and the
fears of the city officials are pre-
mature.

WHY NOT Cow-PEAs?

The extraordinary success of lucern
growing in this State, leads us to an
inquiry about favorite eastern plant
that is related to our most valuable
western fodder species.
We have been thinking to ask some
of our scientific farmers why It is that
the cow pea has not been established
In the agriculture OF this state. We
therefore put the inquiry into this
broad form so that whoever may have
the answer can give It.
We learn from the East that the
COW pea is one of the best of all leg
umes. yet that It is one OF the most
neglected why is It not grown here?
