Land Reclamation Scheme.

The British board of agriculture has
inaugurated scheme for the reclama-
ton of land on the Lincolnshire shore
Of the Wash. A bank is being con-
structed from Wainheet, little below
Skegnees, to Preston, near Boston
Uincolnshire), commencing at the
Wainfleet end, and by this means 1t
is hoped to recover about 1900 acres.
The work is in charge Of resident
engineer in Wainfieet and will employ
a large number of men, who will be
selected from demobilized soldiers and
sailors, and thus obviate the taking
away of labor from agriculture. 1t is
said that in the middle Of the last cen
fury reclamation scheme was started,
and 1t was then estimated that suffi.
GENTLY large area would be redeemed
from the Wash to form a new English
county. The enterprise was abandon
ed, but experts have always maintained
Its practicability, which is now in the
course of being tested.

The death Of Mrs. Katherine Mac
quoid, the veteran novelist, at the great
age of ninety-three, sewers another Of
the few remaining links with the Vic

she once saw the famous writer in a
vision.
When George Eliot went to live at
Chelsea Mrs. MacQuoid proposed to go
and call on her. But before she could
do so remarkable and tragic thing
happened.
One night Mrs. Macquoid awoke sud
denly. and saw the figure of George
Eliot standing between the bed and
the wall. The apparition was distinct
and unmistakable. On the following

There are many evidences of better
ing conditions in Belgrade, Serbia. Bel
grade university opened short time
ago. The American Red Cross is now
erecting barracks to house the students
during the summer.
In the spirit of the people there is
marked change for the better in the
last few months. Social gatherings are
more frequent, and a few moving pic
ture theaters are in operation.
Shops in the city are gradually re-
filling with stocks. Prices are high.
Reports from the interior indicate a
large grain harvest with a possible
surplus for export in South Serbia.
These reports have had encouraging eff

amend FEE BILL
Vote Today On Motion
to Kill Amendment.
Three Appointments Made by
Governor Confirmed.

The Kansas state senate spent the
entire morning today on the state
house fees and salaries bill that has
been passed by the house, and in con-
firming three of the governors APP
pointments. The three appointments
confirmed were: Senator J. S. Hart.
chief grain inspector; John H Craw-
ford, state labor commissioner; and
Alva Clapp. state fish and game war
den
The long fees and salaries bill was
placed on third reading and the
amendments agreed upon when it was
considered in the committee of the
whole were inserted. Then. after it
had been gotten into shape for final
roll call, Senator Snyder made mo-
ton that all amendments be stricken
out except those made with the ap-
prevail of the chairman of the fees
bill be passed practically as it came
from the house.
Bill Was Loaded.
Snyder stated that in its revised
form the bill was loaded for bear"
and that its passage would not only
result in the house refusing to concur
in the amendments and killing the bill.
THE members of the fees and SAL
aries committees of this body and of
the house spent weeks in drawing up
this BILL" Snyder explained. "It is
have done exactly the best thing. but
they did as nearly the best thing as
they could and the bill was a pretty
good one when it came over here. But
we have loaded it for bear, and I for
one cannot vote for its passage in its
present form"
Snyder said that a number of other
senators felt the same way about it
and felt that if the bill should go thru
loaded with the extravagant increases
put on by the senate the members
would have a hard time explaining
their actions to the people at home.
Cattle Come First.
While amendments were being
made Senator Schoch tried to get in
an amendment raising the salary of
Doctor DeVilbiss to $4,000 a year.
| This amendment was voted down and
| later Doctor Drummer again offered it,
| stating that he thought the depart
| ment of child hygiene as important to
the state as the livestock department.
| The proposed amendment was again
voted down.
The motion of Senator Snyder to
| kill all amendments that had been
made produced a lively discussion that
| lasted until the noon hour and Senator
| Terrell finally got thru a motion to
recess until o'clock when the matter
would again be taken up.

WHEN YOU CALL
ON HER.

(What not to do IL case you hadn't thought
about it,
As down the village street you wend
To call upon your lady friend,
Re sure to Danish from your mind
The girls in France you've left behind:
OF course you're feeling full of pep
$50 just repiember If you can,
Your sweetheart's name is not Suzanne.)
The same old house, the same old hall, >
The same old hat-rack on the wall.
The same old hook to hang your lid -, =,
Then, if the light is burning low,
Respectfully salute her-soi
(But if you'll take a tip from me,
You won't address her Marie.)
The same old ia shioned Iiving-room,
The same judicious depth of gloom.
The same old couch you used to share.
The same high-powered Morris-chair:
Then let your arm around her stray
And love her in the same old wayt
(But you tell her how you feel.
Just bear in mind she's not Camille.)
Assure her all the girls in France
With her would never stand a chance,
And tell her since YOU have been away
You've thought about her, night and day
But just remember. first and last.
You mustn't get to talking fast.
.F3r II you do, u, you may forget
Inform her that you didn't care
To meet the ladies over There
And that you had no time to flirt-
CThey kept you busy shoveling dirt
oh. even tho it makes you sick.
Just lay it on and spread it thick.
(But all the time, it's Just well
If you don't call her Gabrielle.
And when the time draws near for bed
And dad is grumbling overhead
And when you leave her at the door
And try to sneak a couple more
Then. while your head is in a whirl,
Just tell her she's the only girl.
(But If you want to call again.
Don't say, Good evening. Adrienne."O

Investigation of WOrkmen's
Laws Blocked Friday Night.

The Kansas senate wound up its
own business without any special hur-

senators went to bed at about their
accustomed time, adjournment being
taken at 1920. From now until next
Tuesday there will be no consideration
of senate bills in the upper house.

this motion was amended to place
ways and means and other appropria-
ton measures at the head of the list.
Eighteen senators requested con-
sideration of one of their pet meas
ures and @ committee of which Sena-
tor Ben Paulen was chairman, ar
ranged them in order for cons.dera-
ton. A large number of these were
taken up and passed, but there were
several important and far reaching
bills that never got farther than place
on the final calendar. Among those

would have empowered the governor
to appoint a commission to investigate

Probably the greatest interest taken
in the final bill consideration session
was taken by the senate employees. And
they also probably went home with
the greatest disappointment to sleep
with. The word had gone around that
Senator Pomeroy was going to intro

give each employe a dollar a day eX-

Guayaquil, Ecuador, March 15-It
was officially announced today that
the report that Ecuador had asked
President Wilson to act as arbitrator
in her boundary dispute with Peru.
was entirely without foundation 1t
is explained that such a step might
be considered as seriously compromis-
ing the governments position with the
Ecuadorean congress before it had
had chance to pass upon the league
of nations project.
A Paris dispatch March 10 reported that
the foreign minister of Ecuador had re-
quested President Wilson to arbitrate the
PERUVIAN Ecuadorean boundary dispute
The expectation in Paris however, it was
said, was that President Wilson would pre-
fer to submit the question to the league of
nations.
