since the party caucus on Wednesday
and is holding daily sessions. 1t will
be at work several weeks. 1t is no I'm
important matter to a dominating
party in Congress to make its COM
mittee assignments. The things that
have to be considered, weighed care
fully, are almost innumerable.
West Virginia's member Of this
committee is Representative Harry c.
woodward. He had planned going to
his district to make visit when Con-
gress adjourned, but now .the trip has
to be postponed for several weeks.
Getting the party in shape for the
next congress Is more important than
going home 10 rest and play and visit
with old friends, so Mr.. woodward
is sticking close to the job.
One of the duties he is charged
with is looking after the committee
assignments Of his colleagues on the
delegation. Where they want to- stay
on the committee they have been
members Of, those who were reflect
ed, they are entitled to, under a rul.

The interest of Republican leaders
in the special session is, 1t seems,
keener and itvelier thar II gas at the
time the regular session conened. One
reason for this. It is believed is be-
cause the fine record made by the
regular session, and the very general
praise Of 1t, is still fresh in mind.
There is strong hope on the part of
responsible leaders that nothing that
is done at the special session will mar
or serve to obscure that general sat
isfactory record, but will add lustre
thereto. At the same time, there is
no denying 1t that they have some
fears on that point, likewise. 1t is
conceded that there will be opportuni-
ties TO make mistakes, but at the same
time most Of the leaders are optim-
istic over the outcome, their optimism
resulting from the fact that they hold
the record of the present Legislature
so far made as the best within their
recollection. 1t showed itself a we'll
balanced, far above the average, level
headed yet sufficiently foreward look
ing body.

feeds you" However, their expected
opposition, ana it is expected by the
observer and discussionists here. will
be on higher plane and broaded line.
They will hold that there is no public
demand that justifies such a reversal,
and that the present time is not an
advisable time for the party to agi
tate this question. In other words, 1t
is unnecessary, and why go looking
for this particular trouble when there
will be other troubles at hand, press
ing and must be grappled with willy
nily.

Army Food Sales A Failure.

From all over the country come
protests against the delays in secur-
ing the army food put on sale on
August IS, month and week ago.
So far as can be ascertained not a
single delivery of this army food has
been made. The government got the
purchasers money for the goods and
for the parcels post charges and the
purchaser has received nothing. The
same complaint is made at Spokane
as here. Not single delivery of this
government food has been made in the
Inland Empire, so far as can be learn
ed. No one at Spokane has received
the goods bought, according to Spo-
kane newspapers, and there is much
dissatisfaction. Now the government
has abandoned the parcels post sys-
tenn as people refuse to buy through
the post offices, and will open stores
for the sale of the stuff to consumers.
A store is to be opened at Seattle,

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Discovery OF
process by which grapes can be con-
verified into Misunderstanding wine,
having the boquet and taste of the
finest wines previously manufactured,
has been announced here. The details
of the process are kept secret but
it was recently announced that win
cries at Cucamonga and Etiwanda,
California, will have a greater output
of the new product this year than they
had of wine previously manufactured.
Wine grapes which have jumped in
price almost rs per cent since last
year are being rapidly bought up by
the wineries and this, it was believed
presages a confidence in the success
of the new beverage.

MAY STORE LIQUOR
FOR PERSONAL Use
Mans Right to Provide Against the
Long Dry Period Upheld in House
Judiciary Committee-0k -0klahoman
Fought the Privilege.

Washington, June PA mans
right to store liquor in his home for
the long dry period after July | stood
up today against an attack on that
provision of the prohibition enforce
ment bill before the house judiciary
committee.
Near the end of an all-day session
the committee voted down an amend
ment which would have made it unlaw-
full for citizen to have liquor in his
possession; struck out section which
would have prevented "use" by citi-
zen of liquor in his private dwelling
and decided that in the matter of gen
eral enforcement there would be nc
difference between wartime prohibi4
tion and constitutional prohibition
Even with this and other changes
the bill as it will be reported out to-
morrow or Thursday is considered as
all-embracing. So drastic are its pro-
visions, members of the committee
said that while a man may put keg
of beer in his cellar, he may be con-
victed and fined if, for instance, he
wears watch fob on which there is
picture of the keg as an advertise
ment.
In a general consideration of the
measure, the committee made num-
Der Of minor changes, but the princi-
pal fight was over the question OF
the right of home storage for personal
use. Representative Morgan of Okla
homa, Democrat, endeavored to have
stricken out the section reading that
sit shall not be unlawful to possess
liquor in ones private dwelling while
the same is occupied and used by him
only as his dwelling"
Ardent prohibitionists on the COM
mittee voted against the Morgan pro-
posal for che reason, they said, that
nothing was to be gained by anacting
a law so drastic as to arouse the hos
tility of the people who rejoiced that
the day of the saloon had ended. Pro-
hibition members supported an amend
ment eliminating the proviso that the
liquor must be obtained and placed in
storage prior to the date the act would
become effective. AS amended, the
section reads: 'That such liquor need
not be reported provided the burden
of showing that possession is legal is
upon the possessor"

,COOTIES- HOLD THE SEAT
OF GERMAN GOVERNMENT
And the Habit of Theft That Made the
Hun Odious. Has Come Home
to Roost."

Berlin, June 24.-"C Chickens come
home to roost." And one of the pests
which Germany brought on the world
when she started the world war
cooties-has invaded the very pre-
cincts of the German government.
When the Weimar parliament want
ed to move to the building of the old
Reichstag, they found the structure
full of lice, left by the troops of the
revolution quartered therein during
the Liebknecht uprisings. Sulphur
has failed to remove the vermin and
the place has been hermetically sealed
for 40 days, sentries guarding each
of its ten portals.
Moreover, the rich furnishings and
fittings of the building have been dam
aged by vandal soldiers to such an ex-
tent that it will cost 100000 to put it
IN shape again after the bugs are ex-
terminated.
Silk curtains have vanished, huge
arm chairs that cost $500 each have
been carried away, bronze cande.ebra
weighing more than ton each have
been removed.
The habit of theft that made the
German odious wherever he went dur
ing the war has been carried home
with him.

CLEANING UP THE TICKS.
South End of Polk County VIII Be

Reports of tick eradication by Coun-

the battle against the cattle pests in
this section of Polk is pleasing to In

the spirit in which the farmers and
stockmen are going after the blood
sucking ticks. The direct work of
supervising the watts in the south part
of the county falls upon Walter Eli
