EARLY RENEWAL
 0F FRACTIONAL
 FIGHT ON HOUSE
Trouble Laid to James Mann Who Will Not Behave
 Himself

Washington, D.

The reason? A simple mat ter" as Senator Henry Cabot Lodge would say. Just this:-"Jim' Mann will not behave.
 Early last spring the House Re pubicans caucused to select a speak CT for the 66th Congress, this being the first opportunity they had had of this kind since 1911. Since the Demo- cratic accession in that year James R. Mann of Chicago had been the G. O.. P. floor leader, and an able one, so it was assumed that he woTd be chosen speaker.
 But grave objections arose. It was discovered that a Chicago packing firm had presented Congressman Mann, absolutely free of charge and with the firms compliments, with a three and one half pound porter house steak, and, as subsequent de- yeIopments proved, with a horse as well.

By Walt Mason

I have bought a grand piano and a sumptuous sedan, and a lot of oth- CT doodads, on the monthly payment plan On each thing paid a dollar, and I'll pay a monthly bone, till I'm laid away and sleeping underneath a sagging stone. It is true I didn't need them, and I haven't coin to burn, but I see my neighbors blow ing every kopeck that they earn, fine motors and such stuff, I will 20 as far as they do. though it makes the sledding tough. Every month I'll pay 3 dollar on the junk I do not need, till I limp around on crutches and my whiskers go to seed; and when I have crossed the river to the shining golden shore, I will still be owing money to the Jinx install ment store. And l fear the recoIIec- tion will destroy my peace of mind. when I have harp before me and 8 pair of wings behind. Put my neighbors, they keep blowing every rouble, every red, and I'd be 8 sort of piker if I let them get ahead {; so I'm buying circus wagons, and I'm buying costly gems, and my wife is
 wearing sab1es and has diamond dia- dems, and 1 bought the whole ca poodle on the monthly plan, and I'm riding to the poorhouse in a super eight sedan.-Co Copyright, 1919. By special permission to Savings Divis- ion. Treasury Department)

appeared to be arrayed against the floor leader NIondell and Speaker GIL lett on numerous occasions He pick ed to pieces bills over which his Re publican colleagues had labored long and lovingly, and he joined with the Democrats in mutilating-and i'm proving-them before passage.
 Indirect overtures were made to some of the Democratic leaders to take a few days recess in order that the majority party in the House might adjust it's factiona1 differences The Democrats replied that the Xmas holidays being a season of peace on earth, good will to men," were ad- mirably adapted for that purpose
 So the Gillett Republicans, so says rumor. have selected a champion to daily enter the lists on behalf of the Speaker and to endeavor to smite hip and thigh the ruthless marauder from Illinois. The selection is Joseph Walsh of New Bedford, Mass, said 10 be the best parlamentarian on the Republican side, and indefatigabIe as a battling debater.

SAVING OF MONEY
 IS POSSIBLE

That it is possible fer one to save money despite present high prices is brought out by Dr. Benjamin R. Andrews, vice director of the Say ings Division, who as an aid to help ing people save money advises them to follow these four rules.
 T will earn all I can by produc- ing all that I can. 1 will spend the money inteIhgently and wisely. I will save part of all the money I receive when I receive it. l must invest safely"
 Dr. Andrews in speaking on the subject of wise investments says that the people of America waste one half a billion dollars a year by loss from fraudulent investments. He brings out the fact that the money of thrifty people which is deposited in such safe investment as Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates is the basis for all expansion in govern ment business.
