WEBB BILL
PASSED
Over President Tdft'S
Veto By Very Large
Majority.
Second Time In Fifteen Years Has
Veto Been Oyerrldden.

Bya vote of PA to 95 the House
re-passed over President Taft's
veto the Webb bill prohibiting
shipments of intoxicating liquors
into dry" States.
Debate was limited and the House
re-passed the bill with wide mar
gin over the necessary two-thirds
vote, as the Senate had done.
Supporters of the bill say it will
make effective the prohibition
laws of dry States" which. they
say, now are violated because in
toxicants are shipped in to private
individuals and have the effect of
multiplying the local laws.
The Senate passed it over the
veto Saturday night and the bill
now becomes a law. Only one
other time in the last fifteen years
has Congress overridden a Presi-
dents veto. That was when the
Rainey river dam bill was passed
over President Roosevelt's disap-
proval.
The Kentucky delegation divided
as follows:
Ayes-Fields, Helm, johnson,
Langley, Powers, Thomas.
Noes-Cantrill, James, Reuse,
Sherley, Stanley.
THE WEBB BILL.

mented, or other intoxicating liq-
uor of any kind, from one State,

thereof, or from any foreign coun-
try into any State, Territory or
District of the United States, or
place contiguous to but subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, which

libit shipments for private con-

for its violation.

The Passing Of the Stump Pence.

One of the interesting sights to
visitors from other states i'll this part
of the country are the ingenious uses
to which the farmers put the by
products of the lumbermen in the
early days OF Michigan. These stump
fences were a matter of no small con-
sequence to the early settlers as the
need for fences was we'll filled by
them for many years and the money
outlay which would have been re-
quired for fencing Of other material
was left free to be invested in better
farm buildings and farm home i'm,
provements. With the passing oi
years, prosperity has come to Michi'
gan's farmers and along with bigger
and better farm equipment such as
bank barns, modern farm homes, the
silo and modern farming implements
came wire fences, which are rapid,
superseding the old stump fences
However, to the eyes Of many o.
those who have become acustomed to
the fantastic outlines of the pine bar
rier the Sight of pine stump fence
brings back pleasant thoughts of by
gone days when barefoot boys fol
lowed the cows up the lane at twi
light, seeing in every outline of the
rugged fence the grotesque figures o
strangely clad soldiers standing guarc
to broad and fertile acres.

LOGGING OPERATIONS
ON LARGE SCALE
IN VIENNA TWP

Logging operations are going on
with rush this winter in the coun-
try around Clio and the constantly in
creasing size of the log piles along
the Pere Marquette tracks is evi-
dence conclusive that the large timber
has not all been cut in this section
Fred Baker is logging on quite an ex-
tensive scale west of the village and
f. l.. Foster is cutting timber east
of here. Fred Sturdivant is clearing
his farm of all large timber and alto
gether it is estimated that by the time
spring rolls around there will be
about 700 cars of logs ready for ship
ment from Clio. The operations in
the woods this fall have given en-
ployment to large number of men.
The Stevens mill is also doing some
logging.

Returns to Canada.

Arthur ]. Adams, who has been
spending few weeks with his
mother, Mrs. Harriet Adams, leaves
for Canada this week where he will
begin preparations for the spring
work on his large ranch. 1t is his
intention to go to Port Arthur, Ont,
from which point the outfit for the
ranch will be shipped west. Farming
operations in the western part of Can
ada are carried on on scale which
- a matter Of wonderment to those
engaged in similar work i'll this coun-
try Mr.. Adams states that the crop
OF wheat from the 5000 acres this
year, not all of which is under culti-
vation, will amount TO about 10000
bushels. Farm machinery manufac-
turers find in this western country one
OF the largest fields for the sale OF
their products and everything which
will eliminate the slow and costly
hand work of the field hands is en-
ployed. Gang plows which turn over
eight and ten burrows at one opera
tion are in general use all over that
county and traction engines are ex-
tensively used for motive power in
blowing and transporting grain to
market. Mr. Adams has spent eight
years in that country and says that is
the only country for him.

0vERW0RK is GREAT FOLLY
Words Of Two Prominent Men That
should be Considered by Every
Busy Person.

Woman can rail at the folly of
overwork and she gets scant heed.
Here is what two prominent men have
to say about it. Whether they prac.
tice as they preach Is best known to
themselves, but the sentiment Is all
right.
Chauncey Depew has said: II do not
believe In overwork, and the body can
not endure It."
Kirkham. in his "Recources," writes:
III we do not play enough II is be-
cause We are overfond OF business
and because the modern ideal is. not
well-rounded man Of elevated mind,
healthy body and divers resources, but
a rich man, man of property-of one
resource only. Another reason is, play
implies leisure, and leisure Is the
cardinal heresy against the religion Of
trade, the dogma of business. The
orthodox view Is q life OF constant ef-
fort, followed by retirement and rest
The fruit Of that doctrine Is a host Of
prematurely old men, synical. dyspep-
tic, nervously depleted, without re-
sources. but with money; that is to
say, dead men,"
If instead Of nagging, the worrying
wife or mother has those two para
graphs stuck in the mirror of the man
whose overwork is rankest folly, she
may make an impression before the
overstrain has earned its sure penalty
of bad breakdown.
