DEMOCRATS WILL
ORGANIZE HOUSE
Attack Of Appendicitis Cuts
One Republican Out---VOte
Is I'll to 2l4
BY j. P. Yoder.


Omitted Press staff correSpondent)
Washington, Mar. 31-James R. Mann
and Champ Clark are the republican and
democratic candidates for speaker of
the Sixty-fifth house of representatives.
Mann was formally nominated this
afternoon at republican caucus which
at times was stormy.
Clark said he would be reelected
speaker in one hour and forty minutes
and that the democrats would organize
the Sixty yfifth house.
Events of today gave the democrats
the first positive edge in numbers.
Representative Helgeson, republican
Of North Dakota, was stricken with an.
pendicitis and rushed to hospital. His
physician said he could not possibly at
tend Mondays session.
Representative Bleakley, republican
of Pennsylvania, shortly thereafter an
nounced he would not attend Monday,
and it was said at the capitol today
republicans would not want him to vote
ii he does attend, in view of the cec-
tion indictments hanging over him.
These two losses, even though they
may De temporary, mean the republicans
can muster only 211 votes on that day.
The democrats win go into the fight
with 2l4 votes, barring an unexpected
stampede by Representative Gallivan,
of Boston, and his "'wet" followers.
Two of the five independents are ex-
pected to vote with the democrats
The promised democratic victory was
brought nearer this afternoon when
Representative Gardner, Massachusetts,
left the republican caucus in high dud-
geon. He said he would vote for Rep
resentative Leffroot for speaker.
The caucus was apparently developing
into near free-fcr-all, three or four
members of the different factions being
on their feet demanding recognition
while the chairman raped noisily foi
order.
Gardner said he left because the re.
publicans refused to adopt a resolution
declaring individual representatives are
not bound by the caucus regarding vot-
ing for officers of the house.

thrift that gives us the good sense
to know the uselessness and even

Thrift in the home is family
preparedness, the enemy OF misery

1t is related of the founder of
Guys hospital, England, that a
visitor called one day for a dona-
ton for charity and found him en-
gagged in an alteration with his SER
want about a few lucifer matches.
The visitor had little hope of a
response to his appeal. To his as
tonishment however, Thomas Guv
headed his list with a large bene-
faction, and, observing his visitors
astonishment, explained that il
was only his carefulness in small
things that enabled him to help
others without stint.
This man, who protested against
such a trifiing waste was the same
who built and endowed the hos
pital at Southwark, England, which
bears his name, erected aims
houses at Tamworth, furnished
wards in St. Thomas hospital.

in the line Of vision. In order to
overcome this difficulty, a second re-
fection defects the beam of light
and forms the image at one side of
the tube, where it may easily be ex-
amined with an eyeriece. This Sec
ond reflection is accomplished by
means of a plane mirror or "flat" in
inserted in the upper end of the tube
and set at an angle of IS degrees.
This fiat will necessarily cut of some
of the light falling upon the prin-
cipal mirror, but since it is not large
and since its supports are made as
slender as possible, there is no seri-
GUS loss.

The biggest rejecting telescope in
the world is in Canada. This has
been erected at Victoria, B. c.. only
a short journey from Vancouver by
Canadian Pacific steamers. In re-
fiecting telescope, the light is col
lected by reflection from the surface
of a concave mirror. If this surface
is ground to a parabolic shape, the
rays viii all come together at
single point to form an image, just
as with the refracting telescope.
This point, however, will be situated
on the same side of the mirror as the
object. Hence the observer who
looks at star will find his own head

PROSPERITY BASED ON
AGRICULTURE is SAFE

While sounding a warning that
now is the time for the utmost eau
ton and careful study of current de-
velopments, Theodore Void, govern
or of the federal reserve bank of
Minneapolis, in a telegram to the
Montana Banker of Helena, gives as
urance that the present information
al crisis should not alarm conserva-
tive bankers or business e The
prosperity of the Ninth federal re-
serve district, which is solidly found
ed on agriculture and the producing
of things which the world must have,
cannot be permanently impaired,
Governor Void declares.
In case any emergency should arise
out of the present situation Governor
Void promises that the federal re-
serve bank of Minneapolis stands
ready to extend support. The re-
sources of the bank are being kept
in a highly liquid condition against
any possible demand. Governor
Wold's telegram to the Montana
Banker, in full, is as follows:

getting the kernels mixed. Put three
rubber bands around each roll or
doll, mi at the middle and one at
each end, and put the doll or dolls in
a bucket of warm water to soak over
night.
Ventilation Necessary.
The next morning pour off the
water and take off the two end bands
to allow the kernels to get sufficient
air. Replace the doll in the empty
bucket, standing so that the tips of
the kernels will point downward.
This allows for definite separation of
the roots and shoots when growth
begins and thus makes the reading
of the test easy. Cover the bucket
with a cloth that has been soaked in
hot water and then set in a warm
place, near the cook stove or a heater
OF some kind. At the end of the &C.
ond day fill the bucket with warm
water, allow the doll to soak a few
minutes, then pour off the water and
cover with a cloth as before. The
test will be ready to read in from
five to sever days. Poor vitality in
any of the ears will be shown by the
condition of the kernels in the
squares. The same cloths may be
used several times. If mold appears,
the cloths should be sterilized by
boiling.

GOPHER is ESPECIALLY
CONTRIVED FOR DIGGING

1t is contended that, of all living
creatures, the gopher is the one most
perfectly adapted to digging in the
ground. This animal is short legged,
almost reckless, without visible ears
and with extremely small eyes. In
its tunneling work the gopher en-
ploys it's long and powerful front
teeth as a pick to loosen the ground.
At the same time the fore feet, which
r armed with long, curved claws,
the sides of the toes being lined, in
turn, with bristles that prevent the
passage of dirt between them, are
hard at work both in digging and
pressing the dirt back under the
body. There the hind feet take it
and push it farther back.
When a sufficient quantity of
earth has been accumulated in the
rear of the gopher, the animal whirls
about, and by bringing the wrists
together under his chin, with the
palms of his hands" held vertically,
he pushes the earth out in front. A
gopher will move backward just as
rapidly as forward, and he car push
the soil either way. His movements
in excavation are almost as rapid and
automatic as those of a shuttle. II
has been estimated that a pocket 60
pher can make 200 complete strokes
with his teeth in one minute.
The jaws are so arranged thai 3S
single cuts are made by the forward
stroke of the jaw, and % by the
backward stroke. Thus, it will be
seen, the jaws of this curious little
creature may accomplish a grand to-
tai of 1920 cuts a minute when in
active operation. He is immensely
destructive to crops and is, therefore
not popular.
The pocket-gopher digs as long as
he lives, extending his burrow fror'
year to year.. All his life is practic-
ally passed underground, except
when, for an instant, on rare occa'
sions, he energies into the air to pusf
a load of earth from a freshly opened
hole. But he vanishes so quickly
that it might be said he is never seen
If a gopher in captivity finds {
whole potato he will cut off littl'
slices, trimming them to suitabl,
shape with his sharp teeth, and trans
fer them to his cheek-pouches by
swift movement. To remove then
from the pouch he presses his for
feet firmly against the sides of hi
head and carries them rapidly for
ward, dumping the contents of tn
pouches on the ground before him
These pouches are often packed s.
full of bits of roots, stems and leave
as to give the gopher a strongly dis
torted appearance.

which is solidly founded on agricul-
ture and the producing of things
which the world must have, cannot
be permanently impaired. The pres
ent outlook should not disturb either
business men or bankers who are
operating conservatively and whose
affairs are in sound condition. 1
hope that the present serious inter
national crisis will not react unfavor-
ably upon the business and financial
situation.
Prudent men must realize that
this is a time for caution and careful
study of current developments. The
federal reserve bank stands ready to
extend to every sound and well-man-
aged member a degree of support far
beyond any demands that can now be
foreseen. Acting upon the belief
that the present time counsels the ut
most prudence, its are be-
ing kept in a highly liquid condition
against a demand which, l trust, will
not come, but for which we will be
prepared should 1t show ITSELF"
