The page approached the sleeper,
but just as he was about to awaken
the ponderous form, Payne heaved
an elephantinc sigh, and the page
fed back to the speaker. I'm afraid
to do it," he confessed.
What Uncle Joe said would not
look well in print.
Meanwhile Richard Wayne Parker

no one could be found TO wake him
up. Finally a solution was suggested.
A page was dispatched to Parker.
When one of the bills was finished,
he asked to have the next one read.
Then he said something like this.

When Payne awoke little later,

flaws in certain of the appropriation
bills, and asked the Speaker to have
him "called Off" Someone said to
be Representative Dwight, the Re-
publican "whip"--approache Mann
and intimated that he would make
greater hit with the Speaker and
the other members of the organiza-
tion If he would object wee bit
less strenuously here and there, TO
put on the soft pedal, so to speak,
when given the tip.
Now, Mann is somewhat indcpcnd-
ent in this manner, somewhat sudden
in his temper, and somewhat out
spoken in his views, just what he
said to the emissars Is unknown, but
1t is understood that when Mann con-
cluded his heated remarks, the gem
tleman addressed had a perfectly de-
finite idea of just what Mann thought
of him, of the House organization.
of the Speaker. of the President. of
the party in power and everything
and everybody bearing on or APP
pertaining TO the subject under dis
cussion. He was also quite certain,
that Mann would object as much as
he pleased, whenever he pleased, to
to any bills he pleased, and if he
didn't like 1t he knew what he could
do about it now or in the future.
OF course this is all hearsay,
but those who have watched the
proceedings on the floor during the
last few days have observed that
Mann is in his seat every minute and
seems to take great delight in swat
ting items in the appropriation bills.

Here's a new idea in conservation.
Associate Forester Potter proposes
to conserve "the good old summer
time"
Away up on the mountain tops in
the National Forest Reserves, Potter
tells Secretary Wilson that there arc
anumber of winding streams and crys
tai lakes fringed with cool woods
that would make an ideal rest cure
for residents of our western metro
poles. His scheme is TO provide for
the poorly paid and overworked slav-
es of capital, at the cost OF about $5
per annum, tracts of nature which
they must fence i'm and use for their
very own, with no restrictions other
than the ten commandments and the
regulations of the Forest Service.
Under Potter's plan permits would
be issued to applicants good for ten
years, upnless revoked by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. There are now
several special permits issued by the
forest service for summer homes and
one for hotel, or club house, onthe
San Bernardino mountains i'm Cali
fornia. These are good only a year
at time. The club house permit,
however, has been renewed for sew
eral years and has become quite a
permanent institution
Potters new plan is now passing
under the critical eye of Solicitor
McCabe, of the Department of Agri-
culture, because Secretary Wilson
does not intend starting anything
0nf al 4. n.
even to the crosses of the ts. Unless
the Solicitors stern regard for duty
him to object, the plan
should be in operation before long
and the people of the west will be
able to put in their applications for
county seats" this spring.
