pose in this country, to take advice

Billy Bunny and His Friend.

Christmas comes but once b year.
And when 1t does, 1t brings good cheer.
Stockings full Of presents nice,
Skates to glide upon the Ice.
Sleds to coast upon the snow,
Trains Of cars you wind to go,
Dolls and loads Of other things
Every happy Christmas brings.
Mr.. and MRS. Bunny and the little
rabbit were invited over to Uncle
Lucky's house for a Christmas feast
and Chris t1nas tree. And oh dear
me! Billy Bunny ate 50 much that he
could hardly speak, and when Uncle
Lucky opened the door that led into
the big front parlor where the Christ
mas tree stood, the little rabbit was so
excited that he couldn't speak even
then, altho it was more than two hours
after dinner.
And so would you have been sur
prised If you had seen who was in the
room waiting for Billy Bunny. There
was the Good Natured Bear and the
Yellow Dog Tramp and Squirrel Nut
cracker and Dickey Meadow Mouse and
many more besides, only 7 haven't got
room to tell you.
wen SIN, everybody got d io'uJ PISS
ent, and Uncle Lucky dressed up as
Santa Claus and made everybody
laugh, for he wore his old wedding
stovepipe hat. Il will never wear any
thing on my head but my dear old
wedding hat" said the old gentleman
rabbit, "even Dc I played Hamlet" and
this made the yellow Dog Tramp laugh
like everything for he once had for q
friend a Great Dane. and this dogs
great ancestor belonged to the King
of Denmark, who was Hamlet's father,
you know.

A PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE SESSION

II as indicated Governor Harding
calls the Legislature together at the be-
ginning OF the year it is unlikely that
he will be able to confine its delibera
tons to war legislation entirely as his
intention is reported Moreover, the
twelve day session that he is hopeful
for will probably lensthen like that
session which was to last SO days, and
like the brook in the poem tried to
go on forever" The governor says
the state institutions need money and
that the council Of defense should be
granted larger executive power
There are other questions however
that are certain to bob up. The ques-
non OF whether or not this legislature
shall ratity the federal prohibition
amendment can scarcely be kept down
and for the matter Of that why should
Mt this legislature look after that per-
tunctory bit of legislation while it has
its coat off and its sleeves rolled up?
Another measure, war measure,
that Is certain to be brought out at
any assembly of the legislature is OF
the proposed law to raise funds to take
up loWa's share Of bond issues thru
taxation. 1t will be recalled that a. ma
jority OF the legislators signed up on
that matter and desired the governor to
call a session especially to deal with
it. And that is a most ticklish propos-
sition when it comes to be met and
faced. Taxation is always a tickLsh
proposition for politician to handle.
However, the Stacker should be gotten
at in some way and there isn't any
doubt that a law which might afford
those who are able to buy bonds and
refuse to do their part. thirty day
period ii which to buy the bond for
themselves or have the taxation handed
to them would bring results
A large number Of those who would
be forced to buy bonds or pay taxes
under the proposition which is being
urged by many newspapers and legis-
lators would find it necessary to make
loan. II he bought the bond he
would have the bond itself to pledge
as security. If he paid taxes he might
pc obliged to resort to a mortgage.
If the legislature shall be called, and
this particular legislative proposal CIV
On consideration, the law should be
thoroughly worked out to create as
slight financial disturbance as posi-
BILE.
But twelve days; who ever imagined
an Iowa legislature quitting in twelve
days. Why things just begin to grow
pleasant and happihed after the first
two weeks.

When a Webster county farm Is
leased for cash rent Of $1125 per acre
5000 per year-as Is the case with
the L. e. Armstrong farm. it is worthy
Of considerable attention.
Mr.. Armstrong had the vision to see
the coming increase in value Of Iowa
land while it still could be bought at
low figure. When he bought the 40
acres embraced in that farm 500 per
acre was a dream Of the future. With
the unusual improvements that he put
on the place It's value today may De
5000 per acre. Tf nobody would pay
that much just now It is Also true that
he would not accept that price for II
II It were offered, for his farm Is not
for sale. When all else fails him he
will have that anchor. Nothing but
domination OF the world by the kaiser
can injure its value.

long lease, " only ~ years old. He

Ru.sia's Terrible Outlook.

The real Russia Is patriotic. It longs
for the return OF law and order. It
watches with bewflderment the present
frenzy OF the towns. Before long II

Not all the army by any means has
been ruined by the Soviet. The artd1l-
cry, the Cossaclz, and the cavalry have
remained loyal to their country and to
their officers and to their traditions
throughout. "A terrible winter OF prt-
walton and tumult and suffering lies
ahead of Rnsaa, but the agony VIII BE

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES

The Belmond Press says 1.-The re-
publican politicians Of Delaware county
believe in asking for what they want
and have a candidate for state treas
urer in E. H. lHoyt, and a candidate
for state superintendent Of public in
struction in Prof Joseph. 1t is just
possible that the people Of the district
may conclude that Delaware county
wants too much and will decline to
live under a Cloud for the next two
years

The reason Governor Harding Is go
