Sow wild oats at first.
Among those born on the last
few days of the month will be
great commanders and daring ex-
|plorers; they will, however, be
very untfdy and apt to neglect the
small things.
I, Little Bright Eyes, a spirit
from the great beyond, warn you
of flesh and blood that there will
be extremely cold weather during
the first three days, followed by
great storms over the lake region
and along the Atlantic coast.
There will be heavy rains and big
floods throughout the south from
the eighth to the twelfth, followed
by heavy frosts throughout the en-
tire country. The mild period from
the seventeenth to the twenty
sixth win be succeeded by most
fearful storms along the Pacific
coast, and stiff gales on the lakes
and Atlantic coast.
And then March will go out
even as a gentle lamb.
1t has been said.

HUTCHINSON, Kas., Feb. 20.-J.
Bear, one of the two men in custody
here charged with being implicated in
the robbery of the Bank of Ford, Kas.,
a week ago, is reported by the sheriff
tonight to have confessed.
According to Sheriff Bell, Bear i'm
plicated four other men. One, Earl
Nav, 1S years old, chauffeur who drove
the robbers to the bank in a motor car.
is in jail, and the arrest of the others
is hourly expected.
Bear is said to have admitted he
was one of the ringleaders in plan
ming the robbery, but says he was in
Oklahoma at the time of the robbery.
The arrest of Bear and Nav was
brought about by information fur
nished by Mrs. Nav, mother of the
boy. He confessed to her, it is said,
before fleeing to Oklahoma, where he
was arrested. Mrs. Nav said her boy
told her he was forced into the crime
after he had been piled with whisky
by the older men. One of the robbers,
he said, held a revolver to his head
while the others blew the safe of the
bank. They then forced him to drive
them to a railroad station, where they
boarded a train.
Nav, fearing arrest, fled. Nav is
said to have told his mother the man
he drove in his automobile had robbed
other banks in Kansas and Oklahoma
and that they were the men VINO

Doctors Believe Solon Will Fully Res

No Indications of UnfaVor-
able Developments
[Assoclated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O-Favorable
indications showed themselves today
in the condition of Senator Tillman.
The initial symptoms which caused his
partial paralysis and loss of speech
have abated, according to the bulletin
of the physicians tonight,
Today he recognized and called by
name one of the physicians, a man
whom he had seen only once before
Until today the senator had spoken
only two words since he was stricken
last Thursday, but today, when the
family physician entered his face
frightened as he recognized him, and
said;
Hello, DOCTOR" A little later the
physician whom he had seen but once
said to the senator:
'I don't suppose you remember me?'
Eyes, / do" replied Mr.. Tillman.
You are DR.. White"
The doctors consider this return of
speech most favorable, and they en-
tertain no doubt as to the patients
full recovery of his speech.
The senator passed a comfortable
night and awakened this morningfsoon
after the physicians arrived.
Following is the bulletin by the
physicians:
"The senator's condition is as faV-
orable as could be expected The ini-
tial symptoms have abated and inn
provement has commenced. The dis
turbance of speech is less marked.

BALLINGER OUTLINES A NEW
PLAN FOR LAND SEEKERS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O-Unwilling
that record breaking endurance test
should be held with the approval of
the government, Secretary Ballinger
has adopted novel plan for the al
lotment of forty-acre farms at Yuma,
Arizona, in March. Hardships that
would result from the endurance test
OF standing in line did not appeal to
the secretary. so he wired the land Of
flee that a different plan had been
adopted.
In accordance with the new arrange
ment, the secretary has ordered that a
hall or baseball park, large enough
to accommodate all who desire to par
ticipate in the allotment, be engaged
in Los Angeles for March /. To those
assembled in the hall or park. by 9
o'clock on that day, cards will be dis
tributed. On these the name, age,
height and postoffice address OF each
homeseeker must be written.
At any time between March / and
10 the applicant may appear at the
land office in Los Angeles, and upon
being identified by the card, may make
application for any of the 173 farms
that the government is to give away.

that some members are distinctly re-
lieved at the prospect that the Hum
phrey bill, reported from the house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries, may not be taken up at this
session.
Will Get No More Appropriation
There is a feeling in the senate COM
mittee on commerce that the rivers
and harbors bill as passed by the house
carries about as heavy appropriations
now as can be hoped for at this session.
1t is freely charged that the house
'gobbled up" about all available for
the present for distribution, and as a
consequence much dissatisfaction IS
expressed
Some members of the commerce com
mittee went so far as to argue that
the whole bill should be killed in COM
mittee, but they were overruled.
The policy of the senate committee
will be to scale down the house appro-
priations wherever possible and make
| room for pet projects favored by SEN
ators without greatly swelling the ag-
gregate sum to be carried by the bill.
Inevitably this will lead to bitter con-
troversy in conference, and the rivers
and harbors bill probably will be one
of the last measures to be adjusted.
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
appear not at all to be satisfied with
the complexion of the special commit
tee of the senate to inquire into the
high cost of the necessities of living.
All the Republican members are reg
ulars, regarded as stand-patters, except
Senator Crawford. Senators Simmons
and Clarke Of Arkansas are the Demo
cratic members of the committee, and
there is one vacancy because of Sen
ator Chamberlain's refusal to serve.
1t has been announced that the food
price committee will not hold open
sessions, and some members of con-
gress charge this assures a report Civ
ing causes other than the tariff for the
high cost of necessaries
Chairman Lodge promises, however,
that every suspected reason for the
increased cost in the last two years
will be weighed and that the tariff
will receive careful scrutiny.
Persons who have been following
carefully the investigation of the Bal
linger- -Pinchot controversy think the
end is in sight. Proceedings do not
seem to indicate that former Forester
Pinchot will play an important part
in the investigation. He has outlined
the story he wants to tell on the stand,
and the impression is that it will not
bear heavily on the question of
whether Secretary Ballingcr has been
guilty of Irregularities or impro-
prieties.
