IN THE SENATE

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-The Arkansas Senate is no place for a man with a weak heart, hot head, or tender epidermis.

 The grist from the mill on Thursday afternoon was not great, but the chaff whcih flew in the other direction completely filled the air. The first squabble came up over the Carter bill per mitting travelling men to vote when away from home. This bill, passed by the House, and supposedly an administrative measure, was found to contain many flaws, and it was placed back on second reading, after being read a third time and the roll call started on it's passage, in order that the Judiciary com mittee might correct it's flaws. The principal objection is that the bill permits the voter to cast his ballot and have it mailed to his home county, but here a diff ficulty arises in the inability of the absentee is unable to get a copy of the ballot which is that day being used in his home count. Then again, it will com plicate the count in the election to have votes coming in by mail, so the committee may limit the ballot of the absentee to state and district offices, which votes may be counted where cast.
 The MeFerrin and Cazort bill making an appropriation for the purpose of securing the Federal aid for road work in Arkansas, was read a third time, and also deferred until Friday, for there are sections in it that are not approved in the Senate, and which were being pointed out in the Utley and Alexander bill, a copy which was introduced some time ago in the Senate.
 The big thing of the afternoon was the defeat of the Buchanan bill from the House, lowering the rate on contractual interest from 10 to 8 per cent. This was defeated by a vote of 10 to 13, and two members, Senators Owens and Edmondson changed from the affirmative to the negative, in order to move a re- consideration. Another lengthy squabble followed which was finally strengthened by the tabl- ing of this motion, IT to 12, and the bill was then dead for all time.
 The Senate passed the Carter uniform text book commission bill, the Alexander bill to an- nex territory to Blytheville; the Goodwin bill to make the judges of Independence and 1zard counties ex officio road com missioners, and received new bills: by Senator Caldwell, to provide a fence law for certain portions of Jefferson county, and to appropriate $2500 for the purchase of a silver service for the battleship Arkansas, and Bush, to provide funds to defend railroad suits pending in the Federal court.

The House passed bill by Carter and Osborne providing a penalty for making false and fraudulent representations in writing as a means of procuring property, money or things of value. The vote on the bill was 45 to IT. MT. Waggoner op- posed it because he said it had been drawn to force a mah into court and send him to jail if he did not pay his debts. The champions of the bill disclaim- ed that purpose or intent, and convinced the majority that they were right, and that it was a good bill.

KILLED BY ANGRY BULL,
Nels EllingsOn Meets Death Monday
Evening on the +. o. Lien
Farm Near ClermOnt.

Nels Ellingsol, employed as a
farm hand east of Clermont, was
corded to death Monday evening by a
bull on the farm of his employer, E.
o. Lien. He was dead when found,
and evidently had met death quickly
after going to the pasture into which
the bull had escaped.
Mr.. Ellingson was we'll known in
and near Clermont, having been a
farm hand in the Clermont and Post
vile vicinities for twenty-five or thir-
ty years. He was fifty-eight years of
age, and bachelor
The affair happened about o'clock
Monday evening. The bull belonging
to Mr.. Lien had broken down a barn
door and escaped to the pasture Mr..
gone out to bring the animal back.
When he did not return soon, others
went il search of him, and found his
lifeless body. His chest was crushed
in, his shoulder crushed, and his leg
broken. BY those knowing the hab-
its of angry bulls, it is believed that
the first thing the animal would do
to the man would be to gore him,
hence it is thought that Mr.. Filing
son was killed in the first attack, and
subsequently mangled.
Mr.. Ellingson has no near relatives
in the Clermont vicinity. A brother
lives in New York, and cousin be-
tween Postville and Waukon. The
Lien farm is six miles east of CIer-
mont, in Clayton county.-West I'm

FEWER STUDENTS.
Probably Boys Fearing Call Before
War is Over Dislike to Enter
on Courses.

Preliminary returns from the col
leges and technical schools are show
ing decline in enrolment of 10 to
40 per cent. AS the majority Of
these students are under military
age, it does not seem possible that
any such proportion could have been
drafted. Probably good many
boys Of 10 and %, fearing lest they
would be called out before the war
is over, dislike to enter on courses
that they may not be able to COM
plete.
The United States faces a hard
race after the war for technical and
mental supremacy. The war has
demonstrated that the old levels of
attainment were not sufficient. Old
theories Of political economy, old
systems of mechanical production,
have had to go into the rag bag. The
worlds industries are going to re-
open on basis of greater production.
Many wastes have been eliminated
and the wits of men have been shar-
pened by intense competition.
The United States can not go along
in the old wasteful way. 1t needs
mechanical experts of the highest or
der It needs broadly trained men
who have studied deeply into human
history, and who can lead our people
in ways of progress and in develop
ment of better civic institutions.
Therefore the boy who abandons
his plan for higher education is not
doing we'll. 1t is quite possible that
there will not have to be another
drawing. Or even if there is, the
second division OF men called may
get no further than the training
camps of this country and France.
In that case they can simply come
back to their work without any real
loss of time. The year will have been
we'll spent IN valuable training,
and they can resume their mental
and technical studies with more pow
err than ever The country needs all
the educated men it can get. The UNI
trained man more than ever before
will be out of the game.

IOWA WOMEN DO
"BIT" IN KITCHEN
Are Serving Their Country in Homes
Instead of Trenches.
CANNING FOODS IN
ENORMOUS QUANTITIES
Forty Million Cans Being Put Up as
Against 100000 Last Year
Food Commission Estimates
46O,OOO,OOO Jars of Canned
Goods Will be Placed on
of American Homes.

Iowa housewives are doing their
bit 'in the kitchen" instead of the
trenches" by canning food, accord
ing to reports received in Washing
ton by conservation organizations
who are conducting nationwide
campaign to urge those at home to
help in the war against waste and the
campaign of thrift.
The national emergency food gar
den commission, which has tackled
the task of urging housewives to can
and preserve vegetables and fruit, re-
ported today that lin Iowa it is esti-
mated the jump will be from S,00O,-
900 last year to 40,O00,000 cans this
year" The great activity of Iowa
housewives in the crusade to make
food f. o. b. the kitchen door while
men train" is typical of every state
in the union, the women of which
have responded nobly to the call of
the conservatiohists to utilize every
available can and jar to put up food.
The commission has estimated that
460,0O0,000 jars of home-canned
vegetables and fruits will be placed
on pantry shelves this fall.
Newspaper headlines says the
commission, SAY Germany sneers at
our army. She had not better sheer
at our women, for, as this commits
sion has always held, this war will be
won il the kitchen and our slogan
since our garden campaign started
in March, with the cooperation of
the newspapers, which is Food f. o.
b. the Kitchen Door will prove about
right. The women of the country
know what's what, as is clearly
shown IL the thousands of letters
asking the commission for expert in
struction. A man, as a rule, is one
of two eXtremes-stiIgy or a spend
thrift-but the women are the real
fighters; they give all-their sons
their husbands, their work-that
democracy and civilization may not
fail"

SHOW LESS HOSE.

Cold Days.

Ames, Ia, Oct. lit is wicked
to do anything now other than
work." Mrs. John Watzek, of Daven-
port, president of the Iowa Fedora
ton of Womens Club, told the men,
bers of the Ames Woman's Club Mon
day afternoon in the first general as
sembly meeting of the local club for
the year.
There never was a time when the
women of Iowa could do so much as
now" she said, land there was new
er time when there was greater ma
cessity for woman's work"
In addressing the Ames organiza-
ton, Mrs. Watzek said that it was
her first visit to any OF the state
clubs since her election as head of
the Iowa federation.
Mrs. Watzek urged upon the
women the Importance of working
together in the attempt to conserve
what already has been accomplished
by way of legislation by the Women's
clubs.
Let us not make the same mis-
take that England made" she said,
lin allowing women and children to
start back to work in the factories"
Mrs. Watzek said that it is up to
the women to maintain the high stan
dard of education. "The country
does not want our children until they
are educated" she declared. The
women should hold the good things
of life during this time of great
STRESS"
Mrs. Watzek admonished the wo-
men to safeguard the young men and
women of the time, especially around
the cantonments. The men as we'll
as the girls need protection, she said.
The state president said that she did
not believe that the girls are proper
ly dressed, and she placed a greater
part of the blame on the mothers and
women. Often" she said, l have
seen girls cross bridges where sol
diers are on guard, and much stock
ing showed above their shoe tops"
Mrs. Watzek said that Iowa wo-
men are going to be looked upon to
provide a great part of the morale
that is needed to win the war, and
further to keep up the morale. This
depends on confidence, hopefulness,
and certainty, she said. Now is the
time when women are in a contest to
show their bravery, declared Mrs.
Watzek.

CHAPTER Il-contInued.

Prudence watched them with painful
sollcitude. Her years Of mothering
had given her an almost supernatural
Intuition as to causes and effects.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. Starr
6ade his family goodby and set out on
n tour OF EpwOrth league conventions.
He was to be away from home until
the end Of the following week. A
prospective Presbyterian theOlOgian
had been selected from the college to
ill his pulpit on the Sabbath.
At ten o'clock the train carried their
father off in the direction of Burling-
ton, and at eleven o'clock the twins
returned to the parsonage. Prudence,
Fairy and Aunt Grace sat sewing on
the side porch as they cut across the
parsonage lawn, their feet crinkllng
pleasantly through the drift of autumn
leaves the wind had piled beneath the
trees.
"We're out of potatoes, twins" said
Prudence, as they drew near. "YOu'll
have to dig some before dinner"
For one instant their compliment fea-
lures clouded. Prudence looked up es-
pectantly, sure of break in their Sc
rene placidity.
One doubtful second, then
Certainly, Prudence" said Carol
brightly.
And Lark added genially, "We'd bet
Ter fill the box, guess-so we'll have
enough for the rest of the week."
And singing light but unharmonic
snatch of song, the twins went in
search of basket and hoe.
Prudence's brows knitted in anxious
Rrowns and she sighed few times.
''What is the matter, Prue2 You
Hook like a rainy Christmas" said
Fairy.
"Irs the twins" was the mournful
answer.
1.-The twins!" calculated Fairy.
~'Why, they've acted like angels lately"
'"That's it!-That's Just it. When
the twins act like angels 1 get uneasy
right away. The better they act, the
more suspicious feel"
"What have they been doing?"
Nothing! Not a thing! That's
why I'm worried. 1t must be some
thing terrible"
Fairy laughed and returned to her
embroidery. Aunt Grace smiled and
