Pricillas Entertain.

The Pricilla Embroidery Clut
gave a Halloween party at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Boeh.
Ter. The party was given for
the entertainment of the hus-
bands and gentlemen friends of
the members of the club.
The house was decorated with
Jack o lanterns, witches, and
autumn festooning. In the COR
ner of the reception hall was the
witches tent in which was a
burning cauldrin stirred by the
witch with her broom and from
the fumes Of which rose the for
tunes of the future lives of the
guests.
The ladies were costumed as
ghosts in sheets and pillow slips,
and marched through the parlors
led by the witch in costume. A
guessing contest followed which
was participated in by the gen.
tlemen only, their task being to
guess who the ghosts we're. C.
A. Marrs succeeded in winning
the contest, guessing five COR
rectly out of fourteen. So
well disguised we're the ladies
that two gentlemen are reported
to have been unable to recognize
even their own wives.
After the contest progressive
games were played, followed by
a three course lunch consisting
of chicken san dwiches, pumpkin
pie, baked apples, dough nuts,
and coffee.

falling but soon turned to snow.

covered the ground aud remain
ed until Friday noon when it be-
gan melting. Saturday it looked
as though the weather would
clear up, but Sunday show
again commenced falling and has
continued almost constantly.
Today, Thursday, the ground is

needed fall of moisture seems to.
have been general over central

LL-SUhhER TERN
OF CONGRESS SURE,
DECLARES JAMES
Representative Points Out
Fact That Work Is
Ahead.

Congress will be in session all sum-
mer, and 1 will not be surprised II we
remain here until November"
This statement was made by Repre-
sentative Ollie NJ. James Of Kentucky
at noon today, as he left an executive
meeting of the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
While Mr.. James was expressing his
personal opinion and refrained from dis
closing the nature of the discussion in
the committee meeting, 1t Is known that
Democratic leaders in the House have
practically agreed upon a radical change
in their legislative program. and that
before long a Democratic caucus will be
asked TO amplify the powers of the
House in the matter of enacting new
legislation.
The unanimity with which the wooden
schedule went through the Democratic
caucus last Thursday is partly respon-
leaders expect solid Democratic vote
on the wool schedule in the House,
and because they can present a solid
front on the one issue which threatened
to split them into factions they are de-
termined to put the Senate on record
on the same proposition.
Wooden Schedule First.
In other words, the House leaders will
not consent to an adjournment until
the Senate has acted on the wooden
schedule. They are not especially con-
cerned whether the Senate kills the bill
or passes 1t. They are concerned about
having the measure remain in the FL
nance Committee. and for this reason
they propose to force vote.
AS out lined today by a prominent
Democrat the present intention Of the
leaders in the House is to go right on
making tariff bills.
AS soon as the wooden bill is passed
by the House, Chairman Underwood
and his Ways and Means Committee
ALL
will turn their attention to the cotton
schedule. 1t is hoped to put this through
the House early in July. The original
plan of the Democrats was to stop work
with the passage Of the cotton schedule.
The present plan is TO follow the cot
ton schedule with a revision of the
sugar schedule with particular reference
to the Dutch standard in the present
lay. and also to revise the metal sched-
ule.
Necessity of Delay.
II the Democratic leaders attempt TO
carry out the plan, Congress could not
possibly dispose of the subjects until
August or September, and this does not
take into consideration any attempt on
the part of stand-pat Senators to de-
lay consideration OF Democratic tariff
legisla ton. 1t is figured that If the
Senate Finance Committee deliberates
over other tariff measures from the
House as It has on the Canadian reci-
procity agreement summer will have
come and gone with Congress still in
session and with no immediate pros
pect of finishing up its business.
Democrats have no fears about hold
ing Congress in session as long as they
please. They have the whip hand. so
far as adjournment is concerned. and
would have no difficulty in voting down
every adjournment resolution passed !
by the Senate. They have an agree |
ment with President Taft that he will |
not exercise his right to prorogue Con- |
gress in the event of a disa greement |
between the two houses.
