On February 10. 1918. while the Senate
was engaged In the consideration of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill,
Senator Wesley L. Jones moved that the
Jones-works bill. which had previously
passed the Senate. as above stated, be
attached to an amendment to the ap-
preparation bill. In presenting his mo-
ton, Senator Jones, among other things,
said that his measure had previously
passed the Senate practically unani-

that the unanimity about which he spoke
came from the votes Of only about half
of the Senate's membership.

At the same time the Senator an

Oliver. who had attempted to arise and

amendment. complained he had NOT had

the matter than they have been able
TO get from the biased and sometimes
false carnations of anti-Iiquor hiGots.
In February. 1912, there were three
hills dealing with the liquor question
pending in the United States Senate.
They were. respectively. introduced by
Senators Jacob II. Gallinger. Wesley l..
Jones. and John n. Works. all of whom
are said to be ardent and pronounced
anti-liquor mon.
During that month subcommittee
on excise and liquor legislation consist

OF the Committee OF the District OF Co

The subcommittee held seven sessions
at all Of which Senators Jones and
Works were present. Senator Johnston
appeared at one of the meetings. but so

Lea never appeared at all.

While as stated above. Senator John

To avoid the point that a quorum Of

Miss Sarah Goodnow Morse.

Miss Sarah Goodnow Morse, As, who
died in this village Tuesday evening in
the home of her sister and brother-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Dexter,
was born in Philadelphia Dee IS,
1866, daughter of the late John L..
and Eleanor Berry Morse. Miss
Morse had not been in her usual good
health since early spring, when she was
i'll for some weeks, but had recovered
sufficiently to motor through with the
family to Vermont in June. Here,
among the beautiful green hills and
valleys which she loved so dearly, she
seemed to improve until recently, when
she became i'll. A physician was called
and she had since been under his care.
Saturday, Miss Morse was able to be
on the veranda again. Sunday, although
no alarming symptoms had developed,
Mr. and Mrs. Dexter decided TO call a
trained nurse to insure every facility
for improvement. Tuesday evening q
change was observed. Miss Morse fell
into peaceful sleep, which was her
last. Before her physician arrived she
was gone. The body was taken yes
terday to Philadelphia, Charles l.. Dex-
ter going from here and Mrs. John
Lewis Morse from Brattleboro. There
were beautiful and appropriate floral
| tributes. The funeral was arranged

phia, and a wider circle of relatives, all
of whom will miss her from their fam
lily gatherings.
Miss Morse had long been summer
resident and was well known here. She
was ever ready to forget self for 9th
ers. One Of. her strong characteristics
was the habit of saying nothing unkind
of any one. She was possessed of a re,
markable memory and had a mind rich
ly stored from extensive reading. In
her home city Miss Morse took great
interest and pleasure in her church
work. When here and in health she
was a regular attendant at church and
in her quiet way helpful in its activi-
ties. Miss Morse was interested in the
welfare of the community and people
about her and was highly esteemed by
all who knew her for her kindly spirit
and gentle nature. Sincerest sympathy
is expressed for her family and imme-
date friends.

It is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinl1ham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia f. Pinkham s
Vegetable Compound is ogniz d
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for wcman's ills.

OXFORD, \. H., Sept. 17-Joseph Sala-

loughton stock farm and who is one of
the largest exhibitors of registered Ayr
shire cattle at the Vermont state fair, says
the graSshoppers were so thick on his
farm this summer that he only cut one
load of hay from $50 acres of tillage land,
and that the pests damaged the cat crop
to such an extent that it was not worth
threshing.
Mr.. Saladino caught 26la bushels OF
grasshoppers, for which he received a boun-
ty of $50, twice as much as the value OF
the hay crop harvested
Mr.. Saladino arranged sacks on his rakes
and the hoppers were caught by driving
the rakes along the ground with the bags
attached.

Merrill. Ia. June 12.-Beween 4 and
s o'clock this morning Merrill was Wis
tied by the worst winstorm experienced
here in many years. the gale appar-
emily reaching very close to the fury
of a genuine tornado.
The large dairy barn of Frank Hoese,
adjoining town, was completely UNI
rooted and the upper part of the struc-
ture was badly demolished.
On the Pew implement house the roof
was raised from the building and one
wall was badly sprung. A large pump
spouting was iammed through the roof,
giving the appearance of a cannon

A box car near the Illinois Central
station was %unroofed and the large IL
linois Central windmill was blown to
the ground.
All around town trees and sheds We're
blown over, indicating the fury of the
wind.
From the nature of the principal
damages inflicted here. it is probable
that a small twister passed over the
city. but failed to drop clear to the
earth. just rubbing the tops Of Il few
buildings.
Very few reports have been received
