Argument.

I've never found in joint debate
much profit or much pleasure,
though I have arguments of
weight and facts beyond all
measure. My neighbors sit
around all day and argue without
ceasing; they jabber, in their tire
less way, until their lungs need
greasing. They say the same
thing DER and DER, million times
they've said it; and in the village
not store will give these alecks
credit. They tell how govern
ments would run if their advice
were needed, and lack the price to
buy a ton of coal that's badly
needed. Some of their wives are
scrubbing floors and others take
in washing, while all the day these
wise old bores are arguing and
joshing. There are so many use
full jobs that people should be
doing, l don't admire the windy
swabs, their talkfest still pur-
suing. That man will yet be in a
box, will yet be swatted dizzy,
who leans against a post and talks
while other men are busy.

COMPELLED TO POSTPONE
NEXT MONTHS CONVENTION
National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress Unable to Find Accommo-
dations Here.

Official announcement was made to-
cay Of the postponement of the four
teenth annual convention OF the Ma
tiona1 Rivers and Harbors Congress,
| which was scheduled to meet in Wash
ington December 5. 6 and I. No new
date has been set for the convention.
The impossibiIity of obtaining hotel ac-
commodations for the delegates to the
convention, owing to the crowded con-
ditions due to war business. is given as
the reason for the postponement.
The following statement regarding
! the postponement was given out at the
headquarters Of the congress:
80 many men are coming to Wash
war that the hotels are unable to ac-
commodate them. One leading hotel is
turning away from $50 to 800 persons
a day, and so many who fall to find
accommodations In Washington go te
Baltimore that the hotels In that city
are also kept filed to overflowing.
| I'm addition to those who seek tenn
| porary accommo modations at the hotels
| many thousands of additional clerks
| and stenosraphers have been brought
Ito Washington for service in the va.
| rious departments. Not only these, but
Thousands more. who must come to han
die the enormous increase of work due
| to the war. will remain at least unit
| the end Of the war These newcomers
estimated at more than $4,000 in mum.
ber have filled up all the regular board
ing and rooming houses and the gov.
| ernment has issued repeated appeals
! that every one who has q spare room
should offer it for rent, so that this
army of clerks may have places ir
which to sleep.
"Under such conditions 1t is manifest.
| ly impossible to hold the convention ir
| Washington. and the difficulty Of com.
| pleting arrangements to hold it else.
where on the announced dates is sc
| great that the only practicable course
| to follow is to announce the postpone
ment Of the convention until further
| notice"
