AN EARLY SESSION

Convinced that an early extra ses-
sion is ahead, members of the House
and Senate who have been remain
ing in Washington to look after mat
ters in the departments, are begin
ming to pack their grips and start
homeward with the object of getting
short rest before the work OF the
new Congress begins.
Quick extra session talk was rife

ton.
Urge Extra Session.
Cables are being sent to the Presi-
dent by Cabinet members and others
high in the Administration official

are familiar. and have been much
discussed. They relate to the need of
money in the various Government de-
partments and by the railroads.
The conditions in the War Risk In
surance Bureau resulting in the let
ting out Of clerks and other en-
barrassments are among those which
are causing the pressure for an ex-
ira session.
While the banks are willing to
carry along the railroads for a time
they are anxious, to be relieved of the
burden as quickly as may be.

OLD HOME TOWN, ! t

Old home town mean% lot more to some people than tG others, Says the Pocatello Tribune Some peo- ple do not feel close ties to any place, or anything. and move a round without feeling of regret or loss. They do not feel badly to part with the friends they make, be- cause they do not create intimate ties. They do not acknowledge o0- ligatlon to work in cooperation with their fellow citizens, and no one feels any obligation to help them along They play a lone hand all thei- days, and never get far.
 Other people have an intense feeling of loyalty binding them to the home soil. It is partly senti- mental affection, partly a keen sens of the advantages of business unity and cooperation. They feel united by 8. common tie to all the people who live in the town.
 Every town has many people or this Kind, who have been the main stay of all our progress. They feel a Keen interest in every person or thing that was ever connected with the place, and any project tending to work for it's benefit has their hearty and enthusiastic support.
 Insofar as GH people acquire that poin. of view, so shall they attain their ideals as a community. This involves giving g preference in all business relations to anything that comes from the home town. If sui. Of clothes sol3 here is just as good as one bought somewhere else. We should buy the suit Of clothes here. We might well buy 1t, even r 1t was not quite So good Su+ It Is not necessary in good stores to make that kind Of sacri- flee. \ 4R %t

IT WOULDN'T REQUIRE A SHERLOCK HOLMES

Of course the law does suggest that We should rss due precaution 10 guard ourselves and our proper ty against thieves, but what is a property ownar to do when the thieves break off the locks and steal the doors off the hinges, the windows from the frames, and then lake the entire contents Of the house consisting of heating stoves. bedsteads and mattresses?
 This is the case, however, whtSA confronts Phil Abrahams.
 Last spring MT Abrahams had the small dwelling adjacent to, Her man Grimm's erswhle beergar- den repaired and furnished: He rented 1t to a responsible tenant In duA course of time this tenant nov ed out and gave up possession of the premises. MT. Abrahams had the doors and windows securely locket. He looked for new ten an' A short time ago a man al' piled to him for a furnished house MT, Abrahams told the prospective tenant about the little house on Third avenue. He told the man that the building was furnished wit stoves and beds and other necessary furnishing ready for housekeeping. The man said he would take look. A few moments later the man re- turned to inform MT. Abrahams that about all that remained in the house was the chimney.
 Now this little house is less than one block from Broadway, and is within 100 feet of the rear Of Kel- le- Brcs. store, nevertheless 1t was robbed of doors and windws, stoves and beds.

It seems to us that property owners, paying taxes, should bs accorded protec- tio to their property It seems to us that it is up to the city to ferret out the thieves and put them where they belong.

JOHN F. LADY, Topeka State Hospital,
Topeka, han--
its readers the privilege of writing a let
ter on the high cost of living. l shall here
with submit my suggestions on the subject
In every household by the farmer and by
each individual like the corporation or
business house, there should be adopted
some system of accounting in order to keep
an intelligent record of AL items of revenue
and expenditure. The expense account will
bear watching closely. The conservative
business man is continually hedging off
unnecessary expenses in order to reduce
the outlay of money to n minimum.
One thing that enters into the high cost
of living these days and which the con-
sumer cannot very well control is the ex-
orbftant prices that must be paid for the
necessities of life fOodstuffs, wearing
apparel, matchinery-in fact; everything
that is needed to eat wear and to do with.
Strikes which 10 doubt are the cause. or
at least give an excuse for high prices,
should be stopped.
Too many Of us poorer folks want to
live in luxury. which necessitates an ex-
penditure of money beyond our means. We
become extravagant, and soon the con-
dition is one known as the cost of high
living" instead of the high cost of living"
We should avoid extravagance and waste.
Economy should be -practiced in every
home. in every business and by everyone.
We might go a little farther than econo-
mize; it might be well to "Hooverize" on
some articles of considerable cost on such
items that are scarce and hard to procure.
When in need Of certain commodities we
should buy the most and the best obtain
able for the money. Buy at bargain sales :
investigate before buying and ascertain
where goods can be had at especially low
prices Take every advantage of a rebate
or cut in prices. Stretch the dollar so that
the most value may be received for 1t. Both

used that the most amount of good can be

the valley at his feet. He ciambered
down the hillside and where the rain
bow touched the earth he found his
long-sought treasure He did not wish
any one to know, so made up his mind
to hide it. He waited until it was
dark, and then took the bag on his
back and stole carefully away in
search of a good place to hide his
gold.
The fairies were holding a meeting
in the mead dow where the old man
passed with his bag of gold and. as he
crept along, a fairy elf stepped up be-
hind him and cut a small hole in his
bag. One by one the pieces OF gold
dropped out and lay among the grass
When the old man reached the hiding
place, his bag was empty, but all along
behind him sparkled the gold pieces
he had dropped. One of the fairies
said, Let US fasten stems to them .
All night long the fairies worked. and
when the sun came up the meadow
was sprinkIed with beautiful yellow
flowers. People wondered how they
came there, and the fairies smiled, for
they knew all about it No one ever
saw the old man again. People are
always. searching for the pot OF gold
at the rainbow's end and do not know
that it has forever gone. The Butter
