This measure will not come up likely be- fore early next week. Though it is in the order for today, it was an nounced yesterday that the decision in the Gherna case would not be handed down by the supreme court before Monday and it was believed that it might be delayed a day or two later. An agreement seems to have been reached by both sides to wait upon this decision, though it is generally predicted that it will be in full support of the constitutional amendment Members however hope to find something in it that will guide them in the formulation of a bill to put the amendment into full force.
 It was stated last night that a bill had been prepared providing for the sale of the state fair grounds and the prorating of the proceeds among the counties according to their popu lation. with the proviso that each county sharing in the proceeds should raise a certain sum for the main tenance of a county fair.

show Rude how he could have got the
goat of that Keokuk catcher if only
he had tried one of his famous open

interested, and laughed in all the right

her caller as a g~ood-looking young man
in a blue serge suit and a white shirt

him as a blond god standing on the

a start. For the rest of the season Ivy
met her knight of the sphere around
the corner. Theirs was a walking
courtship. They used to up as
far as the state road, and down as far
as the river, and Rudie would fain
have talked of love, but Ivy talked OF
baseball.

drawn, at that minute. He stretched
forth a rather tremulous hand.
