Did He See His Shadow?

Yesterday, Feb. End, was ground
hog day, and the question is ''Did he
see his shadow?" There seems to be
division of opinion as regards this
but we think he did not, as at no time
during the day did Old Sol peep thru
the clouds, altho at times he threat
ened to- 1t is the first time in a num-
Der of years that the ground hog has
been forced to return to his slumbers
without a look at his shadow, so we
may look forward to an early spring
(maybe).

High School gym. the Cosmos team

the same evening the Seminary de-
feated Belview % to 10. 1t was unfor-
tunate that two of the games were
played the same evening as neither
team drew large crowds.
High School so, DeIano 20.
The High School team added an
other scalp to their growing list last
Friday evening, when they defeated
the Delano team by score Of so to
20. The game was too one sided TO
be interesting, but it brought out some
good basket shooting on the part Of
the local team.
Severinson kept up his remarkable
record in scoring baskets from the
field, having 9 to his credit, beside 4
fouls.
Flop Johnstone came across with
seven baskets, several of them being
sensational. Eckie Erickson, too, got
into the scoring with a vengeance,
with six baskets to his credit. Holt
added the other one. Hedberg again
contented himself with a strictly de-
fensive game, and did good work in
that respect. Kuka, the visitors cen
ter scored half their points, all on
fouls. Berlin with three and Rholke
with two baskets contributed the 9TH

CONGRESS ID BE IN SESSION ID
 LAST MINUTE
Settles Down for What Leaders Expect Will Be
 Continuous Session Until
 Gavel Falls at Noon To- morrow Signalizing Close
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Congress expect will be a continuous session un- til the gavel falls to signalize it's end at noon on March 4. The house marked time for a few hours after sending the government ship purchase bill back to conference while committees labored on final agreements on the billion dol lar appropriations for the expenses of the government.
 Meanwhile the senate sought ener- getically to catch up on the legislative program. Developments of the day practically sealed the fate of the ship purchase bill, administration leaders agreeing it will be almost impossible to act upon the conference report in the senate after it is disposed of by the house.
 The ship bill was shunted aside late in the day in the house, and returned to conference on a point of order made by Representative Mann, minority lead er who contended the conferees ex- ceeded their authority in increasing to three years the period to elapse follow ing the close of the European war be- fore the Weeks naval auxiliary pro- visions should become effective. The great activity in both houses centered upon the conferencetreports on approp- riation bills. An agreement was reached during the day on the naval. legislative, executive. and judicial supply measures and on the army bill except as to the house provision prohibiting the use of speeding up" methods in the army shops. The senate conferees yielded to the house on similar provision in the naval measure.
 Both houses adopted that portion of the report which carries a total out lay of S101,974,165 House conferees won a point in having stricken out pro- vision for an aviation plant at San Diego, California It was provided however, that commission of army officers be appointed to look into the selection of a site for such plant. The agreement on the naval bill leaves the naval program for the year as follows: Two battleships, six or more torpedo boat destroyers, two sea going subma = rines. sixteen coast defense submarines and one oil ship. The bill carries a to- , tai of S14S,O00,OOO, the total amount for the building program aggregates s45,- | O53,SO1.
 Late in the day the senate passed the general deficiency appropriation bill Amendment empowering the interstate commerce commission to have access to the correspondence files of common carriers was stricken out on a point oi order. made by Senator Oliver, who de- clared that such eleventh hour legis-
 lation in an appropriation bill is un- warranted.
 The house promptly agreed tonigh
 to the conference report on the maya bill, with provision directing the sec.
 retary of the navy to report to the nex
 congress the plans for four naval yes
 sels based on the European war ex- periences. Reports on the militar! 1 academy. diplomatic and consular billi were also agreed to.

 After leaving the jail he proceeded to get drunk again and last night, judging from the condition of the house a large party had a celebration there early in the evening. Tables were overturned and there were broken wine glasses about the over turned table. across which it is pre- sumed the couple had a quarrel.
