House Rejects Increase
In Secretaries Salaries

The House today rejected. by a vote
of III to 162, an amendment to the leg
islative appropriation bill increasing
from s1-5oO to $3.50 a year the salaries
of the private secretaries to members
of that body. The hopes of the more
than 400 secretaries were shattered by
the record vote today following the

in agreeing to the increase.
The House economists won aonther

The Harrison County fair
opened this afternoon with a
large number of exhibitors and

but Thursday and Friday are
the big days and If the weather
is favorable there will be a
crowd there which will tax the
capacity of the e. 'lnds.

most interesting of which are
the exhibits of the Union, Riv-

clubs have gone to great deal
of trouble and expense getting
their exhibit together and they
are deserving OF a great deal
of thanks for the interest they

not as large as in former years
