WILL PROBABLY VETO
GOVERNOR PHILLIP SAYS THAT
AMENDMENTS MUST BE MADE
TO THE EVJUE MEASURE.

Governor Phillip on last Thursday
stated that he would not sign the Ev-
jue measure submitting prohibition to
vote next spring unless amendments
were made permitting manufacture
and sale of beer and liquors outside
OF the state. The contention is that
the measure is too broad in it's pro
visions and that while the state might
exercise its powers in restricting sales
inside it's borders it should not pro-
hlblt sales to other territories not
now dry. 1t is said that the legisla-
tors responsible for the bill will de-
cline to make any such amendments.
1t seems probable that Senator
Geo. Standenmeyer will press a bill
to close all the saloons inthe state on
June Both, 1917, in case the Eviue
measure is not passed The senator
says that he has support promised
and that by closing all the saloons of
the state, thousands of bushels Of bar
ley will be turned into food supplies.
There will be a reconsideration of
the vote by which the assembly kill
edthe Bennett bill, allowing members
OF the supreme court to retire and
become court commissioners after
they have reached the age Of IS years
The bill provides that asupreme court
judge may retire as a court commits
sioner on a salary Of $4,000 annually
There are three judges Of the court
who will be available to come under
this law within a short time, Justice
r. d. Marshall, whose term of office
expires January LIST, 1918; Chief JUS
tice j. B. Winslow, and Justice r. G.
Siebecker. The arguments made in
favor OF the bill are that during re-
cent years money has been spent for
special referee work by the supreme
court, which could have been and
would be, performed by court COM
missioner if the law were passed.
The fees for printing legal notices
have been increased by recent act
which became effective upon publica-
ton which was May 18th. The act
reads:
One dollar per page for printing
cases and briefs in all not exceeding
one hundred and fifty q5O) pages.
(Section 4275) L. The fees for pub
fishing legal notice when not other
wise specially prescribed by law,
shall not be more than sew
enty-five cents Csc per folio for
the first insertion, and fifty
cents (50c) per folio for each in
sertiOn after the first.
Section 2. This act shall take effect
upon passage and publication.
Approved May 16, 1917.

i'll a practical manner, Mrs. Andrew

Take upon yourselves every task
within your strength. Do as many of
the farm chores as possible, that your
men folk may have every hour Of day
light available in the fields. If need
ed stand ready to help in the actual
field work, should help be scarce.
Much of the work about a farm is
light, so don't say L can't stand it;
am not strong enough Work of this
nature in the open air is often more
healthful than household duties"
Much interest was manifest in the
work of the Red Cross which was ex-
planned by Mrs. Fowler and Mrs.
rockingham who have recently been
in Madison familiarizing themselves
with the work.
Lancaster women are anxious to

WASHINGTOE, November An i'm
mediate drop in prices on canned veSe-
tables was predicted by the food ad-
ministration to-day. as Il result of the
operation of the license system for

Dealers charging more than rea-
sonable profit are liable to forfeiture
Of their licenses to do business.
Retailers also will be controlled to
an extent. Those charging more than
the food administration considers just
will find their supplies cut off by
wholesalers, who will cease furnishing
them with goods.
The food administration to-day
