MISTAKE.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI. Feb. "a
James ]. Hill, chairman Of the board OF
directors of the Hill lines. to-day an
swered sharply the attack made on him
Tuesday in the United state Senate
by Gronna and McCumber. OF North

III Gronna is sincere, he is ignorant
and If he is insincere. he is dema-
gogue," Hill said. THE pending reel
procity treaty Is the most important
matter this country has had before 1t
since Civil war We are placed In h
peculiar position. III, after having kept
Canada waiting for forty years and
turning that country down several
times on reciprocity proposition II has
made to United States---if now follow
ing our invitation to participate in Il
reciprocity pact we turn her down
again, our country will suffer. One of
the hardest hit Of our industries will
be that OF wheat raising. Angland

Cost of Living Down
In the Senate Cafe

Are Senators a bunch Of ''easy
marks?''
1t looks as If they are. Leastwise,
prices in the Senate restaurant have
fallen wonderfully since the Senate left
town.
No sooner did the miIlionaires of TIE
upper house of Congress pack their
grips than the bot: ON fell out of the
food schedule at the cafe, known in
the wool schedule was as nothing 10
this.
Prices have dropped in some instances
q third.
What will Senator Winthrop Muir
ray Crane and the Rules Committee
say he it learns that the Senate has
been paying higher prices all through
the session than the proletariat pays
in the recess?
Some people, however, will suspect
that the Senate has been holding up
prices in order to keep itself exclusive
and keep the common herd away FROM
the cafe. Others will be suspicious that
Senators have been getting a discount
from the published rates, in other
words rebates.
