thing for a woman to belong to SIX
Tor eight different societies, counting
culture clubs, church organizations
card clubs and what all. While some
of the societies meet only once a
month, the programs are 80 arranged
that each week brings one or two
meetings Of some sort to be attended
Sometimes three or four meetings fall
the same week. The result has been
a mad pursuit of this meeting and
that, with card parties, dances and
the theater thrown IN. Calling, which
used to be recognised as social
amentity, has gone by the board
Something had to go.
Don't Dare Count Them
Time was when the woman who
did not make her party call never got
invited to any more parties. The wo-
man who maintains calling list to-
day and faithfully returns obligations
as they are understood in this line lie
a rara avis, indeed.

there's the Woman's club, the d. A. r.

Whether the city flower should be a
some discussion. The opinion on the
color seems to be fairly united, but
when the matter was brought up at
the presidents council at it's last
meeting there were those who felt
that the geranium had proved itself
such a fit flower for Yakima grow
Ing that 1t should have consideration.
The great objection to the geranium,
of course, that 1t has to be taken up
and housed for the winter. The rose,
once well started, takes care of itself,
save for a little packing about it's
roots and possibly wrapping up in
burlap for exceptionally cold weather
In case the AFT committee. after re-
ceiviuR the reports on the rnattar from
the presidents council, decides to
make a recommendation of a rose, IL
will probably content itself with rec
ommending a red rose merely, since II
seems hard to unite upon single va
riety which will have general support.
The choice of many experienced rose
culturists is the Gruss an Teplitp,
but there are those who prefer the
Richmond. the Liberty or other red
varieties.

The Day That Nothing Happens

Some folks are always fussing
For something more to do,
Their one idea of pleasure
Is to play a game that's new.
But the more l mix with people
And the more of life l see,
The day that nothing happens
Is the happiest day to me!
At first II Is alluring
To have ones program filed.
To join the merry dance of Life
With new emotions thrilled.
But the aftermath Is WEAKNESS.
It's end--satiety
The day that nothing happens
Is the happiest day to me.
We may climb to heights of pleasure
Or fall to depths of woe.
But the way for me Is straight ahead
No heights or depths to know,
To work and feel twas ably done.
Then rest Is ecstasy
The day that nothing happens
Is the happiest day to me.
AS each day dawns to face it
Replete with energy,
Rechristen work" and call 1t play
Presto! Success" twill be.
And realize in Gods program
Monotony cannot be!
The day that nothing happens
Is the happiest day to me!

Mahel's Hobble Skirt

Mabel had a hobble skirt.

And everywhere that Mabel went,
She couldn't hardly go.
She couldn't climb a street car step,

And getting Mabel in a car
Well, 1t was just a fright!
One day she CHANGED to drop her

She didn't dare to bend,
Lest something snap, and bring her to
A most untimely end.

Because she can't exert

Senator Wesley L. Jones Outlines
Some Of the Activities That
win Engross Attention
TARIFF REvlslON
SEEMS MOST LIKELY
Both Parties in Congress Will
Want to Go Before the People
on a Record Of Something Ac-'
plished

Though little has been done IN
congress up to the holiday season,
we have ahead Of us busy session
and one of great interest to the peo-
pie Of the northwest" said Senator
.Wesley L. Jones, who returned to his
North Yakima home Friday to
spend the Christmas holidays. 1.-THE
main legislation of the session." con-
tinued Senator Jones, twill be on the
tariff, and I really believe that in
spite Of the diverse opinions in con-
gress on this question that there will
be some tariff legislation passed.
'The democrats of the house will
draft and pass a bill that meets their
idea of revision that leans toward
tariff for revenue, and the republic
cans Of the senate will pass a meas
ure that holds more closely to the pro-
lection features. The conference mod
ifications will be in the nature of q
compromise but I look to see some
tariff legislation along some very good
lines affecting the wool schedules, the
cotton schedules. steel and possibly
sugar. Politics will mark the work
of the session on framing the tariff
legislation but believe that both par
ties had rather 70 before the people
with something done in the way OF re-
vision than to deadlock over the mat
ter.
aside from the tariff legislation
and in this our people in the north
west are directly interested. The pres
ident's message on Alaska is expected
soon after the holiday recess and it
will. I think, follow the lines already
laid down in Secretary Fishers rec
concentrations. The big problem in
Alaska is the problem of transporta-
ton, and it seems likely that the gov
eminent will find it advantageous to
construct and operate some trunk lines
for Alaska. This is applying social
legislation to special conditions and
it seems justifiable. Following this
some form or measure of local self
government will undoubtedly be de-
vised to meet the conditions. At least
the country should have an elective
legislatureto conduct it's local affairs
The leasing system for operating the
development of Alaskan resources
seems the trend in that direction.
Next to the Alaskan legislation in
Importance to this section is the leg
islation relative to the fixing of tolls
for the Panama canal. The move
ment for free tolls for our own ships
engaged in the coastwise carrying
trade is growing In favor and the adop-
ton of such a regulation would mean
. great thing for the Pacific coast. /
am inclined to think that such legis-
lation will be passed at this session"
Senator Jones referred to other
questions Of local and state wide in
forest to which he was giving atten-
ton in the departments aud reported
satisfactory progress, He will re-
main here till after the holidays and
will be accompanied east on his re-
turn to the national capital by Mrs.
Jones.

Comiskey is right.

Columns have been written during the
last few days on a report, sent out from
Chicago, to the effect that Charley
Comiskey, of the White Sox, and Ben
Shibe, of the Athletics, are behind
proposition to give Ban johnson one
ninth of the profits of the American
League.
That johnson has been the biggest
single factor in making the younger
major league the most successful Or
ganization in all baseball's history Is
now conceded by even those who but
a short time ago were roasting the
executive at the least opportunity, but
to attempt to have him cut in on the
profits in such a manner as was ru-
mored would be entirely unreasonable.
The men who put their money in the
venture in its infancy are certainly entl-
tied to reap the rewards. and 1t Is not
surprising that Comiskey should come
out with a fat denial Of the alleged
plan which, 1t was said, was fathered
by him.

Outboxing Gives Bender
Decision Over Hurley

NEWARK, n. j., Feb. Tony
Bender. Of Elizabeth, surprised the
local fight followers last night by
outboxing Battling Hurley. of Pas
sale in a ten-round bout which was
the star session at the Harrison box
ing resort last night. By reason of
his great work in the second round,
in which he dropped the Battler to his
knees with a right uppercut, Tony is
entitled to the decision. Hurley was
in bad stape at this stage and the
bell alone saved him.
