Treaty to Have Hearing

The House Committee on Foreign

Russia has refused to honor the pass
ports Of such citizens, in violation of

SCOtty a Good Little
Boy in the Long Ago


Scott Jones was good little boy
a long time ago when as barefoot
lad he browsed amid the blue grass
Of old Kentucky.
This statement is likely to be dis
puted by the skeptical and it is not
strange, for even Scot had almost
forgotten that ancient period of his
innocence, but he has the papers to
prove Il now
A few days ago one of Scotts rela-
tives sent him a faded certificate
which had once been awarded 70 q
Sunday school pupil in London. Ky
On its face it bore the name of Scott
Jones. together with the signature OF
his teacher and the superintendent
and further testified that IT was
awarded for regular attendance, good
lessons and "good conduct" It was
forty years old. Scott is probably
prouder Of It now than he was wher
he first received 1t.

the enterprise to members Of the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce and sey-
eral have promised to assist In estab-
fishing a small cannery. The discov-
cry that alfalfa root is nourishing to

days ago, when the young woman, af-
ter poring for hours in a huge tome
of cookery, decided to try receipts fol

was sampled by a neighbor's hired

eating. called for a second dish. Othel
neighbors ate of the root and pro
nounced it satisfying to the palate al
well as highly nourishing. They sa,
the flavor is similar to asparagus.
