ADOPT RECESS RESOLUTION
Senate Adopts Plan for Adjourning
Legislature from June IL to
January IS, 1914.

Madison-The senate by vote OF
ton introduced by Senator Scott call.
ing for a recess of the legislature from
June II to January 13. The assembly
laid the resolution over until June
and fight is expected on the meas
ure in that body Followers of the
governor are said to be opposing any
move to adjourn at the present ses-
sion.
The Scott resolution enumerates a
number of reasons why an adjourn
ment would be advisable 1t states
that by June II the session will al
ready have been longer than was the
expectation at the time of converting,
and that only few important meas
ures will remain for final considera-
ton at the proposed date of adjourn
ment. The water power bill, it is
stated, will require several weeks
more of consideration by the commit
tee and further investigation of the
mothers pension and direct market
ing measures is recommended. Bet
ter consideration can be given these
and other subjects if a recess is TAX
en-, is the contention. The appoint
ment of special joint investigating
committees is recommended, and it is
stipulated that no matters other than
reports from these committees and
privileged resolutions shall be consid-
cred at the January session except
upon unanimous consent of the mem
bers present.
In some quarters the governors We
toes of the Hull marketing bill and
the women's suffrage referendum and
the defeat of the McGovern market
ing bill in the assembly are held to
have opened the way for the recess
plan. With these important questions
removed from the schedule smooth
er path for the champions of adjourn
ment is seen.
The defeat of the governors mar
keting bill by the assembly came after
four hours of debate, the vote stand
ing 80 for and 81 against sending the
measure to engrossment. Upon mo-
IlOn W I6COuSluSIB Ill0 was
placed on the calendar for June for
final action.
Under suspension of the rules, the
assembly passed the Hedding boxing
bill. The measure provides for a
state commission to regulate boxing
bouts, the contests to be no-decision
affairs of not more than ten rounds
each, and three per cent of the pro-
ceeds must go to the state treasury.
The bill is a copy of the New York
law regulating boxing. Considerable
opposition to the bill developed, espe-
cia1ly among rural members, who
characterized it as virtually legalizing
prize fights in Wisconsin.
The senate, by unanimous vote, has
confirmed Gov McGovern's appoint
ment of Glen. P. Host, Milwaukee, as
state fire marshal. This action fol-
lowed defeat in the assembly of mo-
ton to reconsider the killing of the
bill proposing a merger of the state
fire marshal's Office with that of the
commissioner of insurance.

country are looking forward to the
next session Of the National Grange.

teresting to note how many patrons
in all parts OF the country are making
their plans to participate in that gath

the order. a desire for closer assocfa-

first six months in Office abundantly
attest that fact. Extension into many
new fields, and probably even into
new states, will be a characteristic of
the year and the gathered sheaves OF
years prosperity will be brought IN

Church and GRANGE.

A good idea of the standing of the
Grange in Massachusetts is furnished
in a recent incident OF extensive sig
nifcance. The Unitarian clergymen
of the state, called together for a
large assembly In one of the Boston
churches, invited the master OF the
State Grange to come before them
and speak on the lines along which
church and Grange can most effectu-
ally work together in the country
towns. The latter official spoke out
of a large observation of rural town
conditions and his clerical audience
proved most interested listeners. 1t
is one of the distinct characteristics
of the Grange In Massachusetts that
il seeks to provide country town
leadership that shall enlist all the 9th
er helpful forces of the place In a
genuine community federation that
shall tremendously advance rural
progress

membership Is well shown in q

Washington State Grange.

The twenty-fourth annual session Of
the State Grange of Washington, COM
mencing at Puyallup In June, will re-
port a very successful year Of Grange
work. Special rates secnSed on all the
railroads will tend to make the at
tendance large and interest will run
high More than 30 new Oranges have
been added to the roll of the state
during the year, while four new Pomo-
ma organizations have been perfected.
Special interest will center around
the shaping of the legislative policy of
the year ahead, as the Washington
State Grange is an active factor in
shaping the course of state law-mak-
ing. Oftentimes, in its policy, the
State Grange has come up sharply
against other interests In the state,
particularly In railroad circles, but
the Grange has invariably won, much
to the discontinue Of its opponents.
Therefore the whole state looks on
when the State Grange gets together
to shape its policies.
In this connection there has just
been issued, in pamphlet form, re-
view of the legislative proceedings OF
the past year, which has been put out
for general distribution. Progressive
measures. the initiative. referendum
and recall, have been vigorously back
ed and various constitutional amend
ments are in progress of enactment.

teresting low-cost houses / ever built
The plan lends itself TO a splendid ar
rangement OF rooms, both upstairs
and down. 1t is easy to arrange the
necessary conveniences when the
rear of the house is wider than the
front, and this object is easily accom-
plished with twosection roof on the
three-gable plan-one Of the most sat
isfactory roofs ever built This style
of roof dates back to the earliest
American architecture 1t originated
in the efforts OF builders to add
pleasing front to the old-fashioned
long houses built with the side to the
road; but this plan has been i'm.
proved upon, until the completed
house shows very little resemblance
to the original efforts in this direc-
ton.
While the front part of the house is
pleasing and the arrangement is al
most perfect, the rear section is given
up entirely to the dining room, kitch-
en- and the accessories to these rooms.
While We all like to see pretty par
lor and an attractive hall, we should
remember that house Is built to
live In next year and for a good many
years to come. The work of getting
meals is about the same, day after
day and year after year. Meals are
prepared in the kitchen and served in
the dining room three times daily, and
little saving in work each time
amounts to a great deal in the aggre-
gate. A dining room II feet wide
and 26 feet 6 inche. long Is unusual,

large house, but there Is room enough

place for an ice-box, away from the

away to, be inconvenient like to
see a refrigerator close to the outside

carries it usually has more or less
mud and dirt on his boots. 1t a
great saving on a woman's nerves to
have dirt left outside, or as near out
