off into doze.

fort, through the newspaper page and stood
before me- In his left hand he held a
crumpled mass of newspapers. Looking close
ly l discovered that only the Classified pages
from various newspapers were represented in
that mass.

AFFAIRS

The. school board at its meeting
Wednesday afternoon called on
the superior court to look into
the charges made against the
board and il deemed worthy of
action to call a grand jury.
President Broenkow was much

to the effect that he thought a

tense of a government official and
give him a clean bill of moral

DONOVAN VS.. HOBSON.
Hostilities in House Break Out Again,
Wednesday.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Hostilities be-
tween Rep. Donovan of Connecticut
and Rep. Hobson of Alabama, both
Democrats, broke out in the House
again, today, and Donovan blocked
Hobson's request for an hours time,
tomorrow to discuss petition for a
prohibition amendment to the Consti-
tuition.
For almost an hour the two mem
bers had been carrying on a private
argument close to the speakers ros-
trum, with feeling so apparent that
some congressman expected them to
come to blows. Later they continued
the argumnt in the lobby where Mr..
Hcbson is reported to have invited the
Connecticut member to fight.
Later when Hobson asked unani-
nous consent to present the petition
brought by 1000 citizens representing
the Anti-Saloon League, Rep. Bart
holdt Of Missouri reserved the right
to object and Donovan thundered an
II object" in voice that reverberated
across the chamber. Hobson gave way
but announced that, at 4 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, he purposed to
speak anyway.

shoppers thronged the business sec

ming, and a patronage that would not
only equal but surpass the usual hoh-

the local and out-of- town shoppers
have been very conducive to heavy
purchasing, and the business men
feel, even now, with the week only
half over, that the carnival has been
a great success. The illuminations
continue to brighten the Great White
Way" at night and the stores are re-
naming open in the evenings in or
dei to give an opportunity to those
who cannot get out in the afternoon
to do their Christmas shopping early.
