Then our chaplain came around for

no noise save an Austrian SS in duel

TOMATO SEASON SATISFACTORY

Miami Fla, March 4.--The pres
ent prices for tomatoes are consid-
cred excellent. in view Of all circum
stances, H. W. Bird, sales manager
of the East Coast Growers Associa-
ton, said recently. Freight rates are
25 per cent higher than last year,
and a war tax is also to be added
which is making the present ship
ments cost the consumer pretty heav'
lily.
The farmer and packer, however
have also to contend with higher
prices. Crate material has advanced
materially over last years figures
and labor both on the farm and in
the packing house is costing much
more.

Partisan politics, although it caused
the mandate for change from demo
mratic to republican control of Con-
gress, was largely buried during the
war period, war measures being has.
tily rushed through with big bi-partis-
an maporities. Many acute controver-
sizes, however, marked the Congress.
Among these were the 1917-1918 ques-
tion of war efficiency, developed from
an investigation of the Senate mill
tary committee and reaching a clim-
ak in the dispute between President
Wilson and Senator Chamberlain OF
Oregon, chairman of the committee.
Others involved the league Of nations,
the Overman bill comforting unlimit-
ed authority on the President to re-
organize government departments,
government control of railroads and
the food control act.
During the first session of the Con-
gress, devoted largely to prosecution
of the war, among the important
measures passed were:
The war declaration against Ger
many, signed April 6, 1917; the selec-
tive draft act; the law for seizure of
interned German ships; the war risk
insurance bureau act; the first war
revenue bill: the food and fuel con-
troll law; the daylight saving meas
ure; the initial and record-breaking
aviation appropriation of $64O,000,-
600; the trading with the enemy act;
and measures providing for soldiers

Washington, March 4.-The Sixty
fifth or great war Congress passed in
to history today with final taps of the
gayel by Vice-President Marshall ant
Speaker Clark at noon. Failure o.
scores of important bills gave promise
Of convening Immediately after the
second return of President Wilson
from France, for reconstruction
legislation Of the new Congress In ex
traordinary session, in which control
passes from the democratic party to
the republicans.
Unusual scenes Of confusion in the
final rush to complete its work &C
companied the closing of Congress
in which President Wilson, just back
from France in his room off the Sen.
ate chamber, hastily signed many
last-moment measures,
Stupendous was the record of the
Congress, which carried the nation
into and through the war and which
had been in almost continuous ses-
sion since it was called by President
Wilson into extraordinary session
April 2, 1917, to declare war against
Germany. 1t appropriated about $780,
600 100000 authorized $4,000, 600, 900
In bonds, and enacted countless meas
ures for prosecuting the war and of
domestic import The new Congress
will take up the limitless task of re-
construction problems, ratification of
the peace treaty and other vital ques-
tions, probably Immediately after the
return of President Wilson from his
second visit to France.
Special features of the Sixty-fifth
Congress we're many addresses By
President Wilson, including those rec.
ommending war with Germany and
Austria, that of Jan. 5, 1917, enunciat-
ing his famous fourteen principles of
peace, and those endorsing woman
suffrage, announcing the armistice
terms imposed upon Germany last No
vember.
There we're three sessions of the
Congress The first, extra session
met April Q, 1917, following shortly
after the turbulent and successful
Senate filibuster on the administra.
ton armed ship bill which marked
the close of the Sixty-fourth Congress.
The dramatic night address of Pres
ident Wilson to urge war with Ger
many, which was promptly declared,
marked the opening of the extra ses.
sion, called but few weeks after the
Presidents Inauguration for second
term. The session closed October 6,
1917, lasting 1SS days. The second
session-lasting 354 days and longest
in the history of American govern
ment-began Dec. 3. 1917, and ad-
journed November 21, last. The
third and final session which ended
today began Dec last, and was the
statutory short session of SO days.
Substantial democratic maiorities
in both Senate and House since Pres.
ident Wilson's Inauguration six years
ago now have passed. In the new
