BIx6Y is LOYAL

We are coming Woodrow Wilson, with
the noisy fife and drum;
We're opposed to war, but with you
If the damthing has to come,
We are ready for the combat when the
worst shall come to worst,
And we'll bravely poke der kaiser, il
he doesn't poke us first.
We are coming Woodrow Wilson, to
the drummer's rub-a-dub,
With our spirits full of vengeance, and
our bellies, full of grub.
When We strike the house of Haps
burg will go spinning to it's fall,
While the Hohenzollern trembles in
his Potsdam palace hall.
We are coming, Woodrow Wilson, with
our faces to the foe,
Some intent on gaining glory, some
hellbent on cleaning dough;
'Gainst the course that meets your
pleasure there will be no further
kicks,
For we all are patriotic; that's what
makes us boiler.

The patent medicine people are tre-

vertising agencies in the east writing
to the newspapers that this business
will be withdrawn if the publishers do
not get their senators and representa-
tives to kill the bill, etc. The question
with the newspaper men is how much
patent medicine is manufactured in
Nirth Dakota and how much money it
takes out of the state. Publishers now
have lost about everything but their
pants and nerve, and the loss of lit
tie patent medicine advertising would
scarcely cause a ripple in their
march to prosperity.

a whole. Tih bill has come out of the
committee with majority and minority
reports, the former favoring indefinite

The North Dakota farmers have not

disturbers in their fields a year ago.
Many of them had the greatest diff

prevent their destruction by the ele-

more than they had then to safeguard
their interests. While the farmers
hands are still bound the l. w. w. IS

operations next harvest. The Nonpar-

SENATE LIKELY
TO CHOP MEASURE
Appropriation Bill Will Look
Like a Sieve When Upper
Branch Finishes With 1t

Although the general appropria-
tion bill carrying the funds to run
Father Penn's government for two
years will go back to the House to-
night after a month in committee
with liberal allowances for the var
ious departments 1t is by no means
sure of final passage in that form.
1t is openly predicted that the Senate
will shoot it full of holes and that
where the House has been generous
with various department the upper
house will pare down to the bone
and in many instances vote what
the Governor allowed when he ap-
proved the bill two years ago. This
policy, If followed out, will mean
practically no expansion of the Labor
and Industry, Insurance, Public Ser
vice and Agricultural Departments.
Chairman James +. Woodward
said to-day he expected to report out
the bill tonight and it will carry be-
tween thirty-four and thirty-five
millions against thirty-one two years
ago. Departments will be voted
million and a half additional, which
is where the eSnate will likely get in
its work, and schools are allowed two
millions.

Synthetic Bible Class
Begins First Vacation

Mechanicspurg. June II. The
Bible class taught by DR.. McKelvey
began it's first vacation last week.
The class has covered Genesis, Exc
dus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteron-
omy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel,
Kings, Chronicles. Esther and Job.
DIR. Gray's method is that of study
ing the Bible as it is from the SYM
thetic point of view in much the
same way as aeroplanists photograph
the main features of the landscape.
AS an example, Genesis is outlined
in nine words: Creation, Fall, Del
uge, Nations, etc. Each one of these
is divided into sections such as Gre
alton and light, armament. dry land,
lightholders, fish and fowl, cattle and
man. BY synthetic study of this
kind the class gets a grip of the fun
damentals that it could not other
wise do.
The class is organized under the
Spartan plan-no social or refresh
ment features being permitted. Thus
all the time is given to Bible study.
After the summer the class will re-
sumo its work along the above lines.
Already one member is from Har-
risburg and it is hoped that many
others will become interested. DR..
McKelvey will answer questions
concerning the organizing of classes
of this kind.

INEBRIATES TO
GET STATE CARE
Bill to Make an Appropria-
ton Likely to Follow Ware
Antidrug Legislation

Legislators are considering a plan
to make an appropriation to start
operations on the state institution
for inebriates and drug victims,
project which was launched during
the Tener administration. The COM
mission named by Governor Tener
was voted $4,000 to purchase site
and looking at plots at Doubling cap
and Rossmoyne and other places IN
Cumberland county, but did not
have enough money and last session
no appropriation was made at all.
Since the Ware antidrug bill has
passed the House and is regarded as
likely to became a law the pro1ect
has been revived and although
$500, 900 is asked it is believed that
there will be substantial sum
voted.
Provision will be made this week
by the House appropriations COM
mittee for the two new state hoSpl-
tails for the insane. An approprla-
ton of $4,000 has been asked for
the purchase of site for the east,
ern hospital, which will be located
by the commission to be appointed
by the Governor. Legislators said
tonight that no site had been even
tentatively selected
Three quarters of a million dol
lars is the sum asked to start thlngs
moving on the new western hospital,
which will be located near Blairs-
Vile, but the men in charge OF ap-
preparations said that they did not
know how much would be voted, but
that there would be enough to begin
operations.
Chairman Woodward said to-day
that an effort would be made to re-
consider the action of the House
in defeating his bill to create the
state salary board. This bill was
lost Friday morning when there was
very light House and it is not be-
lieved that there will be much OPP
position to reconsideration. 1t is
stated that it will not interfere with
institutions, but only relate TO the
state government.
Plans are also being made to re-
consider the Sassaman bill to. in
crease the fees of clerks of courts,
which was defeated after being de-
nounced for the material increases
it made in the schedule.
Plans have been made to change
the law relative to the state insur-
ance fund so that it can use some
of the revenue received by it for ad-
ministrative purposes. 1t will be
til next January and after that must
paddle its own canoe. Under terms
of a decision given to the State
Treasurer a few days ago by the
Attorney Generals Department the
appropriation made two years ago
will be available until used and will
not lapse.
Advocates of the teachers pension
system will rally here this week in

the House appropriations commit
tee. Fear of the cost to the state
has caused it to be held back. The
estimate is that it would cost $780,
600 this year, and over a million and
a half in succeeding years.
The Economy and Efficiency Bud
get Commission bill will be changed
SO that it shall apply to the sitting
appropriation chairman. There were
some persons who feared that it
would make the present chairmen
permanent members.

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE

done on the bill is to go over the
items for the Public Service Commits
sion, which 1t is planned to reduce.
notably in the allowances for engi-
neering studies work initiated by the
commission. This Labor and Indus
try Department has undergone con-
siderable pruning, but Chairman
Woodward looks for the Governor to
approve the direct inheritance tax
bill. All appropriations are based
upon this prospective big revenue
raiser.
The allowance for continuation
schools will be half a million. Two
years ago it was estimated that it
would take a million and u half and
1,430,000 was appropriated. The
cost of this work will be taken care
of in the general school appropria-
ton of $1S,000.000. The difference
will be taken up by the largely in
creased cost of normal schools. of
which the State now owns nine. and
some of which will require consider
able repairs.
The bill reorganizing the adjutant
generals department has been
amended to provide for a salary of
$500 for the adjutant general with
out Adtutant General T. ]. Stewart
asked for 1t. The general outlined
the bill and put in increases for most
of the attaches so that their salaries
could be adjusted to those of other
departments and left his own where
1T was put four years ago. Senators
on their own initiative raised it
$1,000 as an appreciation of the gen.
eral who works longer hours than
anybody in his department and on
Sundays, too. The bill increasing
the salary of the deputy secretary of
internal affairs, who now gets three
has been reported out for
four thousand after having been cut
to thirty-five hundred.
A hearing will be held this evening

HOW TO GET
RID OF CORNS
a Simple, Safe and Reliable Way.
No Pain or Soreness

Thanks to a new discovery made
from a Japanese product, women will
soon be wearing smaller and prettier
shoes than ever. Corns are to be a
thing of the past. A new preparation
called Ice-Mint is said to make any
corn or callous shrivel right up and
lift off easily. Hard corns, soft corns
or corns between the toes can soon be
lifted right out, root and all. Ice
Mint is wonderful. No pain and not
bit of soreness while applying it or
afterwards. People are warned to
stop cutting and trimming their
corns and avoid the risk of blood
poison. Simply get a small jar of lee
Mint from your druggist and from
the very second that it touches that
sore, tender corn, your poor. tired,
aching feet will feel so cool, easy and
comfortable that you will just sigh with
relief. Think of it; just little touch
of that, cooling. soothing Ice-Mint
and real foot-joy is. yours. 1t is the
real Japanese secret of fine, healthy
little feet, and is highly appreciated
by women who wear high nee1 shoes
and men who have to stand on their
