Congress in Hot Weather.

II a generation OF American vot-
ers has grown up since the re-
tirement of the last full Democratic
administration, and if the generation
of the time of Cleveland and the will
son bill has forgotten the lessons of
those years, the people of this coun-
try should be reminded by the last
few months of reckless and destrue-
tive ineompetency displayed by the
National House. The disaster to all
industries in those years might easily
be repeated if the President and
United States Senate were ready to
ratify such action as has been taken
In the lower house of the national law
making body at the present session of
Congress.
With midsummer at hand, there Is
still an enormous grist of work to be

And after this six months of ardu-
Gus iabors and playing politics there
is yet ahead of the lawmaking body
the difficulty of getting the two houses
together even on the appropriation
bills. There is also a disagreement
between the executive and the Iegis-
lative bodies, the President having
vetoed the army bill and without
doubt will veto the legislative. ex-
eeutive and judiciary bill This latter,
carries the salaries of many thou
sands of government employees. and
also the salaries of the senators and
representatives themselves, therefore
we may expect strenuous labors on
the part of the lawmakers until they
have formulated measure to which
the President can eonscientiously affix
his signature. But these are only
part of the matters that must be dis
posed of before Congress can allow
itself to adjourn and escape the hard
ship of hot weather legislation.
Our Washington correspondent calls
attention to the fact that this week.
during the excitement of the Baltf-
more convention, the session is car
ried still farther through the hot sea-
son by the fact that presiding officers
are unable to muster quorum in
either House. With this demonstra-
ton as reminder of what we might
expect, were Democrats in control of
both branches of the lawmaking body
ana Democratic executive in the
White House, we are confronted by a
tedious campaign and an election in
winch democracy claims it should
win before the country, because of its
progressive policies. Whether the
people of the country have followed
national events with enough care and
precision to affect their ballots in No
vember, we are. of course. unprepared
to estimate. but we are confident that
the people of this country will well
come rest from politics after the
long political strain is over.

Sherman Mills plans one of the most
unique associations in the annals of
farming and stock raising. Eight of
the prosperous farmers for the town
have combined in the purchase of a
thoroughbred Pereheron stallion for
breeding purposes The animal is a
beauty, weighing 100 pounds. The sum
paid for the stallion was in excess of
$1,000. and the association which owns
him is known as the Golden Rioge Per-
cheron Breeding Association. The
farmers have depended upon the West
for their heavy draft animals. The
introduction of first class, heavy Per-
cheron for breeding purposes ought to
result in the county producing, within
few years, substantially all the ami
mails which it uses for both driving and
heavy farm work.

Some people talk very fiippantly
about diminished vitality.
They don't stop to think that vital
ity is the principle of life-that it is
that little understood something on
which every function of their bodies
depends.
Diminished vitality is early indi-
Gated by loss of appetite, strength and

And the green hills laugh with the noise

When the meadows laugh with lively

And the grasshopper laughs in the merry
