None of these bills stands the least
chance of enactment despite the gallant
efforto made by the military authorities
TO convince Congress Of the Importance
of the legislation.
In the minority report on the army en-

that legislation OF benefit to the army
personnel be incorporated in a compre-

what is necessary in a piecemeal fashion.
That has been a point made consistently
by the war Department. and we have
heard much during the past two years
of a general proposition upon which the
experts of the general STAFF have been

It may happen that the army. as dis

Senators and Representatives on account
of river and harbor improvements and

Worst Storm in Years Strikes This
Vicinity Last Friday.
One of the worst hail storms known
in years visited this section Of tho
Hills last Friday afternoon. Il was
unusual for its length of duration and
for the extreme large size of the hail
stones which fell. The storm lasted
fully half an hour and many Of the
hail stones picked up measured three
and three and one-half inches in cir.

broken and more would have suffered
had there been heavy wind. All the
fruit trees that we're fortunate enough
to escape the frost came in for their
share of the damage and the prospect
for fruit this year is very slim. Easily

trees before the storm abated.
