Not a Bit Of Use.

There was some speculation as tC
whether the instrument would benefit
the old gentleman or not. One was
holding the ear trumpet, while another
was explaining its use and showing
old Mr. Shortcash how to hold it to his
ear.
"Say something to him through 1T,
Binks," said one to the other.
Now Binks had long waited for an
opportunity to reach Mr.. Shortcash's
ear, so. speaking very distinctly into
the trumpet he said:
you've not paid me that five dol
lars you owe me yet, Mr.. Shortcash."
But the old gentleman put the in
strument down with disappointment on
his face, and they could see it was a
failure even before he had time to
say:
THAT things not bit of use TO
me-
And he sighed, but his sigh was not
so deep as that which came from
Binks.

Hotel Exemption Bill.

Hotel Exemption Bill.
A measure which has been strongly
urged by the administration and for
the passage of which some energetic
lobbying has been done met hard sled
ding in the senate. This was bill
proposing to exempt all hotels planned
or chartered for within the state be.
tween now and January, 1920, from all
state, county and municipal taxation
for a period of five years. This meas.
ure was urged by it's advocates in or.
der, as they assert, to encourage the
building of hotels of sufficient capac,
ity to care for the added travel to the
state incidental to the holding of the
centennial celebration after the pres.
emf world war is over.
There was stiff opposition to this
by economists, who arc. opposed to all
exemptions and especially in such
cases as that under discussion, which
they appeared to believe would only
interest one section of the state. The
bill failed of passage for lack of con-
stitutional three-fifths majority, which
such measures require, and will prob
ably die outright.

parade was reviewed by Lieut.. Col.
Charles r. Dalbey, acting in command
OF the Second Infantry, who is camp
commander. who was joined by Gov.

The troops were assembled without
arms, as all the units are not yet

was therefore dispensed with The
field nlanauvers and formations, how
ever, including the march past, was
executed in excellent order, making a
spectacle that was much enjoyed by
the. large body of oniookers.
In each of these regiments or units
of the organization there are included
some of the best and finest specimens
of manhood to be found in the state.
Most of them are from the interior
districts, men who have lived in the
open most of their lives, and who are
full not only of loyalty and patriotism,
but of physical vitality. Their march
ing and evolutions are as steady and
smooth as regulars of long service,
