Past Week at the
Nations Capitol
BY Hon. James A. Frear, 10th District

The Ways and Means Committee
Of the House is preparing to repeal
the free sugar clause in the Under
wood bill which takes effect on May
1st next. In view Of the condition
of the treasury this is no time to
lose 100000, now annually receiv-
ed from sugar schedules and re-
versal Of policy on the tariff Com
mission will be accompanied by re-
tanning the sugar tariff at this time.
Raising funds for increased expend-
itures has engrossed the attention OF
the Committee. One proposition has
been advanced looking to the sale OF
bonds authorized for the building OF
the Panama canal. 1t was the boast
Of Republican administrations that
the canal was being largely con-
structed out Of surplus funds paid
into the treasury and as result only
a portion of these bonds were sold.
The remainder may be issued at any
time to meet emergencies or govern
ment expenses. It has been propos-
ed to cover the preparedness pro-
gram from this source because in
heritance taxes, an increase in in
come taxes or any other new tax pro-
posal is sure to be unwelcome.
One step on the military program
predicted by the writer several
weeks ago, now seems certain and
that is for an abandonment of the
continental guard plan. To a COM
mittee of republican members called
in by him for consultation the Presl-
dent indicated the National Guard
ought to be strengthened. This sent
iment is general and the resignation
of Secretary of War Garrison last
week was precipitated by differences
of opinion between him and the
President on a Continental army.
General Miles discussed the same
question before the Committee with
a recommendation that while COM
pulsory military service was most
satisfactory, fair increase in the
regular army and militia would be
sufficient to most all reasonable con-
ditions. He further expressed con-
fidence in the ability of the Presi-

In the Dunn County Training
school each faculty member is re-
sponsible once a week for securing a
local citizen to address the school on
the subject of his or her special
work. Talks have been given by the
postman, butchers, bankers, and
other business men and women, and
the results have been found to be
good, both in giving information to
the pupils and in keeping the teach
ers in touch with local conditions.

a gang of repairmen at work. I stop
ped to watch them for moment. and
then I saw a girl. If you'll remem-
ber that it was $50 on winter morn
ing, and hardly dawn, you'll be as sur
prised as I was. For she was a lady.
You could see that And instead Of
going straight along she was moving
up one path and down another. Some
times she looked along the ground.
Again she'd stand and stare up tree.
1t made me creepy.
I decided she'd lost something, pos
sibly a bird. 1 remember once when
sis canary got away, and she had me
wandering about looking into trees
and saying "Dicky! Dicky" till I was
nearly locked up.
So l went up behind her. When
she heard me coming she walked on,
and had hard work catching her.
IF it's n bird" l called to her at
last, II wouldn't bother about the lit
tie beggar. You'd better advertise"
She turned around then and it
was Miss Hazeltine! I hardly knew
her at first. She was as white as pa
per, and her poor little chin was quiv-
ering.
"Oh. Mr.. Oliver!" she said, and 1
give you my word she staggered. I
caught her in time and helped her
onto a bench. She didn't cry. She
just sat there, not looking at me or
at anything.

In spite of the fact that Helen cared
nothing for Ned, it sent warm little
feeling to her heart when he spoke

Ned. bitterly.

hope not, anyway. And in defense OF
myself. Ned, 1 have done nothing to
encourage you save accept an invita-
ton to take a walk with you this
evening. 1 can't see where the mat
ter of my dress is any more your busi-

You haven't forgotten what you

Helens cheeks burned in the
darkness; no she had not forgotten
1t had been a rather cheap thing
to do.

Helen had rather an unpleasant

Hereafter when Warren gave her
my reason for anything of the

lifferent. In fact, she would not
adopt any tactics. She would take

merchantmen of the allies and against
neutral carriers of war munitions has
been dropped by the so-called "Inder
pendent Committee for GermaE
Peace"
In explanation of it's step the cui12
mittee announced that, logically, the
persons who should decide the sub
marine policy of Germany are the su.
preme military and naval authorities.
Therefore, it adds, it will not attempt
to hamper or force the hands of these
authorities in the evolvement of a
program of undersea activities.
The committee, at meeting held in
Berlin on October Is, placed itself on
record as favoring an unrestricted
submarine campaign. At the meeting
Count Won Reventlow was one of tie
principal speakers.
The wholesale sinking of Norwegian
steamships will not lead to a break
between the two countries, according
to the belief of officials.
II is a noticeable fact that the Nor
wegians are displaying as much anger
toward the United States as a result
of the destruction of Norwegian ship
ping as toward Germany. They hold
that the United States, as the leading
neutral nation, should Rave taken
some step which would safeguard the
ships of neutral nations from subma-
tine attack.

Each Must Help to Make 1t, but One

To say OF the home which marriage
ought to create that it is "a mans king
dom, a child's paradise and a woman's
world" is to blur its meaning
The home is no ones kingdom, no
ones paradise. no ones world. The
only kingdom it resembles is the king
dom of heaven. because it is within
you. Home is dependent for its real
ity-and its reality is as deep as any
thing we know-upon a condition Of
spirit
This indeed is embodied or at least
Swallowed forth i'll this or that physical
symbol-the sheltering roof the fire
place, the common table-but it is de-
pendent on no one of these.
For Omar the symbol was the loaf,

Naisi it was the tent las tidy as bee

Home means love and companionship
and mutual dependence, the spirit Of
common service and Of common loyal

and wife or by a family or by two
friends Or even by a single person who
has the home feeling toward the world

To say that it is the woman's hardest
task to make the home is to miss its
most exquisite meaning. No one Of the

one can mar it. 1t must be made by all
