1919, the sl1,00O,OOO emergency
AGRICULTURAL bill was reported late to-
day to the senate The present plan
IS to call it up after the army bill
is disposed Of

fered by Senator Norris of Nebraska,
rs substitute for that by Senator
Jones of Washington, was adopted
today by the senate agricultural com
mttee. 1t prohibits the sale OF dis.
TILED spirits and the manufacture of
wine or the removal OF liquors now
held In bond after June 30, 1919.
The manufacture OF beer would be
stopped three months after the pas
sage of the bill.
The amendment was approved by
the committee at three hofr ses-
sion during which opponents made
futile efforts to have 1t amended to
permit the manufacture and sale OF
beer for six months and then four
months after enactment Efforts to
have the committee recommend
passage OF prohibition legislation in
n separate measure were unsuccess-
full
The amendment was framed by
Senator Norris of Nebraska as a
substitute for the pending one by
Senator Jones OF Washington. The
Jones amendment would have
hrnipht ah n nhgntt,ta
imm edlately upon the enactment OF
the legislation. The Norris compro-
mise was adopted by the committee
by vote of 8 to 3. Those opposed TO
the Norris amendment attempted to
have Il changed so as to permit the
sale of beer six months after It's
passage and later proposed four
months. Both efforts, however, re-
suited in defeat.
Chairman Gore said the bill with
the new amendment would be re-
ported to the senate tomorrow and
that an effort would be made to
bring It up for consideration at once.
Members of the committee voting
in favor of reporting the Norris
amendment were:

against the amendment.
Confident of Adoption.
Senator sheppard of Texas and
other prohibition leaders were con-
fident tonight of the passage of the
prohibition amendment They said
that since the senate last year adopt
cd by two-thirds vote the resolu-
tion to submit TO the states prohi-
bition constitutional amendment,
majority vote in support of the pres
ent proposal easily could be Sc
cured. Opponents, however, ex-
pected a strong fight to be made in
view OF the fact that the constitu-
tional amendment now is awaiting
action by the senate.

initely.
Charges that unfair advantage
was sought were exchanged by lead
ers of both sides Managers of the

filibustering TO prevent vote be-
cause, with Senator James OF Ken

votes TO defeat the resolution.

clared they would prevent n recess

were made The senate debate pro-
ceeded until 2 o'clock when the army
bill automatically was
laid before the senate. Senator
Jones then moved to set II aside and
proceed with the suffrage resolu-
tion.
Senator Reed Of Missouri in the
debate on the motion declared re-
fusal of the suffrage leaders TO ar

that the first fruits Of
suffrage are to set inside courtesies
and dccencics" Of senate procedure
and then spoke for nearly an hour
and a half mostly on the army bill.
Chairman Jones OF the senate

effort TO force vote by moving
to hold the resolution before the
senate and displace the $4,000, 000.-
a09~ army appropriation bill. The
resolution was withdrawn.

Wonder why we come to earth
Why the mystery OF birth,
Why the DAYS OF ,iving breath
And the majesty OF deathi
II is not for gold or fame.
Not alone for toll or game,
And sometimes II seems to me
That this trip through life must be
ordered so that we may know
One another here below.
Life's getacquainted spell; :,
A chance to know your brothers well.
It's round of days and years
Filled with laughter gay and tears
And OF struggling towards a goal,
As trial for the soul
Hero We come 10 learn of men;
Here we come to see them when
They are at their best and worst,
angels must be humans first.
Life's get-acquainted trip
And the world a mighty ship
Plunging on through storm and shine
To some destination fine.
Here we live and strive and grow
SO that we may come to know
One another and be friends,
And at last. when living ends.
He has noblest served Gods plan
who has served his fellow man.
Get acquainted with your kind
Open both your heart and mind.
Stretch to them a helpful hand,
Know them well and understand
What 1t is they seek afar
And you'll find how fine they are. o.,
10 not live your life alone.
Know your neighbor and be known,
Aud remember, night and day
Angels grow in mortal clay.
