 Governors Veto Predicted

 This led up to the suggestion of an extra session. It was pointed out that if the highway bill is lost, there will be practically no comprehensive pro vision for road building this session and all the demand throughout the state . for road construction.

tinction of being the first twin baby
bears ever shown in the movies. In
that play they were babies indeed,
but now they are assuming quite a
size. The little fellows were being
taken overland by automobile, as
they are too valuable to be shipped
by express, where they would not get
the care they require. Bert Van
Tuyle had charge OF the little ami
mails and drove the car, and he is
accompanied on the trip by ]. B.
alker, Miss shipman's camera man.
The rest OF the company passed
through on the train, going north to
prepare another picture.
The twins are "Goldie" and
Brownie" While they were con-
fined by a strap held constantly BY
Mr.. Van Tuyle, they romped and
played about the floor Of the Au-
tomotive shop in utter fearlessness,
and devoured the peanuts thrown to
them. Accompanying them is Lad
die" beautiful thoroughbred Collie
dog, who also has 1t upon his mind
to watch his valuable charges. Mr..
Van Tuyle stated while here that
"Laddie" rides on the crate contain
ing the bears, and never allows a
stranger to approach them. While
he realizes the Importance of his
charges, he is extremely jealous of
them, as he thinks too much atten-
ton is paid to the bears and not
enough to him. "Laddie" would lie
close to his master, watching the
antics OF the little cubs, but once in
while he would look up into the
faces Of the bystanders with a wist-
full, reproachful gaze as il to call for
a stray glance his way.

SEND MONEY FROM COUNTRY,

ROME-In an attempt to escape
the new taxation large numbers OF
the wealthy classes are said to be
converting their money into British
and American currency and deposit
ing 1t in banks abroad. The rate OF
exchange, already adverse, has nat
urally not been improved by this re-
ported procedure, and the latest quo.
tation for Italian lire shows a fall
of sixty per cent in the case of the
British pound sterling, and 80 per
cent in the case of the United States
dollar, as compared with the pre-war
rates. Fears of labor troubles are
also largely responsible for the exo-
dus of Italian capital, and the Stock
Exchange is depressed by insistent
sales, which cause a continued fall
in quotations.
