SENATOR KENYoNs CONTRAST
ING VIEWS.

Just what Is the purpose of the
Kenyon bill now in hearing at Wash
ington would be hard to deduce from
Senator Kenyon's own statements. In
the bill itself the purpose Is set forth
as follows: ITO stimulate the pro-
duct;on, sale, and distribution of live
stock and live stock products, and for
other purposes" This stimulation Of
live stock production may be well
taken as bid to the consumer to hope
for lower meat prices.
But he has a different thought to
present to producers. In letter adj
dressed recently to the Wallace Farm
er he says: II do not believe myself
that the situation as to restricted
consumption is going to be changed
very much, and there will be the necess
sity of less production" OF course
less production would supposedly mean
higher prices for live stock, but also
higher prices for meat.
Are either the general public or the
farmer going to be fooled by this
method of playing up the one against
the other? 1t is not likely. Farmers
and consumers are both comitg to the
realization that hampering the pack
ers is not going to bring higher prices
for live; stock nor. lower prices Tor
meat, but quite the opposite.

CITY OF STONES AND SAINTS
Old Spanish Stronghold Of AviIa Has
Long Been Known by That
Peculiar Cognomen.

Avila Is an ancient Spanish strong
hold now known as the city Of stones
and saints. The stones are prominent
enough in the high wall, broken by cir
cular towers, which surrounds the city
and In the past kept out undesirable
visitors. Some people say, however,
that the term stones refers to the
stone pigs which decorate the city in
unexpected places. No spot is too
sacred for these roughly carved pigs,
which fact recalls the tradition that
when pagapism ruled in Avila these
grOtesque animals were themselves OBJ
jects of veneration. But today they
provoke only jests in spite of their at
titudes of naughty aloofness.
The saint part of the stones and
saints epithet is adequately represent
ed by Santa Teresa. the most beloved
saint Of Spain, who spent most of her
life In Avila. Santa Teresa started
her career of saintliness at seven
years of age, when she tried to get
herself martyred by the Moors outside
the city walls. She was deferred
from achieving this at the critical mo-
ment by her relatives. Later, tradition
states, she was transported to heaven
and given instructions on building and
running convent, after which she re-
turned to earth and spent the rest of
her life carrying out the celestial or
ders, and thereby winning the love of
the people.

RECRUITING FOR MARINES
Sergeant May Pays Visit to This City TOday-Aviation Branch Has Some Inviting Places.

Sergeant Edward May of the Unit ed States Marine Corps, paid a visit to this city today in the interest of enlistments for the corps. Sergeant May is stationed at the recruiting office in the Hartford Trust company build ing on Main street, Hartford. The corps is affording an opportunity for young men to enter into the service, a particularly fine chance afording itself in the aviation branch. Wire workers, electricians wood workers and photographers are needed at once. Sergeant May stated that the aviation branch pays 50 per cent. higher wages than any other part of the marine service. The fact that most of the members of the, aviation service in the Marine Corps are off, cers or commissioned officers, is another strong feature of this branch. During the war Sergeant May enlist ed several local young men, and he said today that he would be pleased to hear from any of these men who have been discharged, and would also be glad to furnish ary information sought.

LOCAL EXPRESSMEN .
 MUST KEEP ALERT
Handling More Summer Baggage
 Than at Any Time in History

With the vacation season at it's height local expressmen are now handling more summer baggage than at any time in the history of the express business. A statement to this effect was made last night by Agent H. F. Beach in charge of the city office of the American Railway EX- press company.
 The heavy movement of trunks suit cases and other personal baggage from nearby resorts to the city is keeping the local eEpressmen on the alert in order that none of the ship ments may go aStray. Last year at this time 1,500 pieces of personal baggage had to be sent each month to the various No Mark bureaus of the express company, throughout the country, because the addresses of the owners were totally missing or in- accurate.
 Agent Beach recently called his men together to study the situation, so that a clean record may be achieved by the local forces this year. Most of the trouble has been traced to carelessness, on the part Of vacationsts. in addressing their bag gage, and because the rush of bus
 
 pressmen to closely scrutinize all of the trunks received. ..
 Most of the baggage, lost or de- layed, Agent Beach declared, goes astray because of the apparent in difference of summer travellers to this important detail of their arrange ments. It is the experience of the eXpressmen that a trunk owner will entrust the handling of his baggage to someone else and only. realize it's importance when the trunk or suit case goes astray. He requests the CO., operation of the public in keeping their baggage from miscarrying, by giving greater attention 10 the ac- curate and secure addressing of their property.

WHILE HUNTING TEAM

Washburn, N. D., Jan. 9---While
wandering about on the Ice cover
ing the. Missouri river, searching for
his team, which he had lost in a fog.
iNels Nelson, prosperous farmer of
Conklin, a few miles west Of Wash
burn, fell through an air hole Friday
evening and was swept away by the
swift current before two nejghbers
who were with him could rescue
him. There is little hope that the
body will ever be recovered. "A son
of Thomas Thompson, who, with
Henry Hall was with Nelson at the
time Of the tragedy, fell into the
same hole, but one foot clung to the
safe ice long enough to permit his
father to seize it and drag the body
to safety. Nels Nelson. had started
out about five O'Clock with his team
for Fort Clark, across the river, but
he lost his way in a dense mist and
wandered about on the Ice for four
hours. During this time he tied up
his team making his way ahead on
foot. Finally he saw light for
which he made, thinking it to be the
town of Stanton, on the west side
Of the river. He found, instead,
that 1t came from sneighbor''s
house. Here Henry Dahl. Thomas
Thompson and the latter's sen join
ed Mr.. Nelson in search for Lis
his tear. which was tetherel to-
gether somewhere in the woods, on
one bank or the other. During this
search Nelson without a sound or
a moments warning, dropped from
sight in an air hole. 1t was pitch
dark at this time, the swift current
had dragged the drowned mans
body far under the ice and further
search was out of the question.
Dahl and Thompson therefore re-
turned home with the latter's son
who was soaked and dripping wet.
