Gee! but we'd hate to be a farmer
these days-corn worth only about 90c
a bushel, butter too high for ordinary
people to eat, and eggs more precious
than gold. Thankful we are indeed,
that we are in the newspaper business,
the most remunerative business in the
world!

Valentine Day Comes Next Week

Valentine Day Comes Next Week
OF all the Valentines we know,
There's some we hope we'll get
Though promised to US long ago,
We're waiting for them yet.
They bear lovely lady's face
A maiden we adore,
And though we rarely see her, we
But love her all the more.
Her face is good in any cline;
Spend here where'er you will,
But while you're spending, recollect
That we, too, have till.

WAR Department MOVE
TO BE URGED IN HOUSE
Chairman Clark Presents Resolution
to Utilize New Interior De-
partment Building.

An attempt to move the War Depart
ment from it's present location in the
State. War and Navy building, and the
surrounding rented buildings, to the
new office structure originally design
ed for the Interior Department will be
made by Chairman Clark of the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds as soon as the debate on the
army bill is over.
A joint resolution authorizing the
use of the new Interior Department
building by the War Department was
introduced in the House today by Mr..
Clark. His committee will be called to
make report on the resolution within
a dsr or two. Representative Clark is
of the opinion that the Navy Depart
ment and State Department should
have all their bureaus under one roof
and that the War Department should
be concentrated in one building, and
that this cannot be accomplished I'M
less there is a general house cleaning
at the State, War and Navy Depart
ments building.
There will undoubtedly be objection
to this joint resolution on the floor of
the House, but it is understood that
the Navy and State departments are in
favor of the change.
