CONGRESS MAY GO
 HOME BEFORE LONG
SOME OF ITS LEADERS DECLARE THAT AN ADJOURNMENT BY
 JULY1Fs POSSIBLE.
SENATOR CHALLENGER IN DOUBT
Attempt to Exempt Government Printing Office From Operations of Overman Bill Fails-No Action Yet On Water Power Measure.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

WaShlngton.-In April and May senators and representatives begin to talk about adjournment and they usual ly fix the 1st of July as the time when the long session shall come to an end. There has been no exception this year and some of the leaders have pointed out that there is no reason why there should not be an adjournment by July l. Senator Gallinger of New lamp shire. who has been longer in the sen ate than any other man, speaking in the senate said that the suggestion that they could soon adjourn coming from one of the majority leaders met his hearty approval and lie hoped that congress could "get away from the hot term in Washington ot a reasonable time. But looking at the bills on my desk" he continued, "it looks to me is If we had better send for our winter clothes and conclude that we are going to be here until the next session of congress-"
 of course there Is a lot of very i'm portant legislation yet to he considered, but it may be well 10 remember that any time that the president thinks he has got all the legislation he wants, the suggestion will be made that the appropriation bills be passed and that congress get away.

North Carolina Is in the limelight these days on account of having four of its men in congress in very tm- portant positions. Senntor Simmons is chairman of the finance committee, and Claude Kttchin chairman of the ways and means committee in the house. Thus it happens that the North Carolina men are the most influential in regard to revenue legislation Ow. ing to the i'll health of Senator Culber- son of Texas. Senator Overman of North Carolina has charge of all meas ures coming from the judiciary com mlttee In the house Congressman Webb is chairman of the judiciary com mittee and so North Carolina again takes q prominent place in regard to other important legislation.

An unexpected thing happened {, the senate the other day when SeDs. tor Overman suggested the absence of quorum. "iHara is q quorum here" asserted Eiee President Mar shall. "The chair viii take judicial m tice of the fact that thrfe Is quorum here"
 After the senators recovered some what they felt the fuii shock of what had been done. Never before in he history of the senate had presiding officer failed to direct that the roll he called when any senator suggested the absence of 4 quorum t was almost like the days when Tom Reed counted a quorum In the house of represents. tives.

When the Overman bill passed the senate an attempt was made to exempt the government printing office from it's operations, but without avail. The government printing office has always been under the direction of congress, although 1t does all of the government printing business Heretofore con. gress has been very jealous of it's con. trol of the printing office and its Con gressional Record The awful sugges- ton was raised that under the Over man bIU the president might direct Chairman Greet of the puhllsinforma- tion bureau to take charge If and edit thp Congressional Record.

Big Drive Is On

Thousands Of energetic patriotic
workers are now engaged in carry
Ire the message Of Thrift to every man,
woman, and child in the state Of Wis
consin. This week, in Wisconsin is
Known as War Savings Week and
by next Saturday night it is hoped
that not less than one million individ-
uals Of the state Of Wisconsin will
have made their purchase Of at least
.heir first Thrift Stamp.
According to the County Chairman
for war Savings the results Of this
campaign is not to be measured in
dollars and cents, but its real objec-
tive Is to secure the greatest possible
number Of individual purchases Of the
Is cents Thrift Stamp or the War
Savings Stamp.
These Stamps, issued by the United
STATES Government are, ia fact, Baby
z3or.s. and bear the same promises to
bay with the same security back Of
aben that lies behind the Liberty
Bonds! They are the irrevocable
! pledge Of the United States Govern
.ment to pay you back the actual money
you invest plus interest at the rate Of
4l6 compounded quarterly, on Jan
uary /, 1898. Interest on these stamps
is taken out in advance just as your
banker deducts the interest upon your
loan when you sign at the bank. These
stamps, cannot depreciate in value.
The % cent Thrift Stamp is designed
for Ike small saver and cannot be
cashed unless converted into a War
Savings Stamp. This may be done
by filling the sixteen spaces on your
Thrift Card and by taking this to
your postmaster or to any bank or

penses for fees, abstracts, etc., to
improvements of the farms.
The Federal Land Bank has now
operated about eight or nine months
and in this time applications for about
$20,000,0OO have been received and
very near $4,000 100 approved and
$12,O00,000 paid out.
Under ordinary circumstances this
would have been no difficulty in SELL
ing the 41a3o bonds but on account of
the war and the big demand for money
for all purposes the bonding syndicate
was not able to sell the bonds as
fast as predicted.
The administration has therefore
asked Congress for two hundred
million dollars for the use of the Fed
eraI Land Banks and as this was
Granted the Bank can now take care
all loans approved and go on and
close loans at 51a per cent interest
The long term and e, sy payments
make these loans more desirable than
The old way, used by private compan-
les.
The borrower pays 61a per cent Of
he full loan simi-annually, of which
| per cent goes as payment on the
oan and 515 per cent as interest,
whereby the loan is steady decreas-
ng so when the term is up both the
Iona and interest have been paid.
There has been much delay in pay
raents of these loans but considering
the enormous demand on the banks in
this short time,, and that this was
new experiment, that never had been
tried, it must be said it is wonder
there has not been more delay, and
It is supposed to go faster as more
experience is gained. Another cause
of delay is the carelessnss of the
farmers of not having their abstracts
in order, but this too will be better,
aspecially when the farmers see the
great benefit in having an absolutely
clear title to their land.
