SEEK PALMER's OPINION

After it was received at the exec utive office today. the bill was sent
 to the department of justice for an ciinion as to it's validity In the usual course such an opinion would not b. ready under four or five days, but tc meet the present rather unusual situ- stion the department is expected to speed up its opinion.
 The president, of course. has ten days, excluding Sundays. or until mid night March 8, to act on the bill be- fore it would become a law without his signature, but since he has or
 dered the roads returned on March | Is expected to act promptly
 The farmers letter asking approval
 of the bill was signed by W. l. Drum
 nerd. chairman of the board of gover-
 nors of the International Farm Con-
 gross. and T. C. Atkeson, Washington
 representative of the National Grange
 It pointed to the memorial drawn up
 at the recent mesting here of repre-
 sentatives of the International Farm Congress. American Farm Bureau Fed eration. National Grange, National Farmers Union, Farmers National
 Congress. National Milk Producers Federation, American Cotton Associa- ton. several state farmers unions and the Dairymens League of New York. 
 FARMERS URGE APPROVAL
 This memorial declared for the safe
 guarding and protection of every right of private prop lty and against govern
 nent ownership or continued opera
 ton of the railroads by the govern ment, In their letter to the president the farmers representatives said:
 We believe the spirit of these two principles is embodied in the proposed legislation now before you awaiting your signature.
 We earnestly petition you to give this legislatioA your approval both be-
 Cause of the intrinsic merit of most of the provisions and because of the , necessity for settled conditions in transportation before the next season ! for crop movements.''
 Individual groups of union represen- tatives continued to debate the position the IT ions would take toward the pres
 ident's suggested wage date commis- sion. Few of the fifteen organizations were near agreement.
 General officers of the unions il terested in the wage controversy were reported to have begun the assembling of their objections to the railroad re- rganization bill which they expect tc send to the president as soon as com pieted. This will follow their request | that he withhold his signature from 1 the measure pending the presentation of their claims against it.

WILSON SPRINGS A |. NEW SURPRISE IN
 APPOINTING COLBY
Selection Causes Scarcely Less of Sensation Than the Dismissal of Sec
 retary Lansing
py Associated rry,,

Washington. February 25.-President Wilson again upset the expectations of official and political Washington today by naming Bainbridge Colby, New York attorney, who left the Republican party with Theodore Roosevelt in 19l2 as Sec retary of State.
 The selection caused scarcely less ot a sensation than the dismissal of Robert Lansing from the state portfolio two weeks ago, and was received with such uhdisgused surprise in the Senate, where the Presidents choice must be approved before Mr. Colby can take up the duties of office, that none of the leaders cared to predict when confirmation might be voted.
 Not even among those on the inside of administration circles had there ben any expectation that the selection wouId fah on MT. Colby, who told inquirers today that he himself had been given only very brief notice of the PresiI dent s intention. Summoned to the White House he spent an hour with MT. Wilson, announced that he would accept with d deep appreciation of the responsibility m- posed upon him, and said he would have nc further comment to make until the Senate had acted

soLoNs WITHHOLD COMMENT

Word of the nomination reached sena- tors just as they were assembling for the days session, and ill their private
 talks during the day they discussed little else. Virtually all of them, however, pre- ferred to withhold public comment until the subject came up formally for action
 once before the Senate had been called
 upon to act on nomination of Mr. Colby
 and then confirmation was voted, al
 though 2 strong fight against him was led by the two Republican ssna tors from his state.
 That was in 1917. when President VII
 son named him to membership on the shipping board. It was asserted in some
 quarters that tho reasons which led to objection at the time need not necessa- | rily apply in the present case, but Sen
 ator Calder of New York said he would
 insist that the nominees qualifications
 for the secretaryship be looked into care fully before he would vote for confir-
 nation to that post
 NEW. YORK LAWYER l A native of St. Louis. 5l years old, Mr. Colby has been engaged in law practice l in New York since 1892 except for the nineteen months ne was a shipping board members During the latter service he
 was an American representative in the intar- allied shipping conference at Paris, and was active in directing the boards war policy He resigned in March Of Last year. saying that tho critical war period hAvtng pasaed ha preferred ta return to prfvAts life

He ssrved in lS0 and lsec As . member of tho New York assembly. Actively supporting Theodore Roosevelt for tho Rspu ublican presidential nomtna-
 ton in 1Si2, MT Colby was placed in charge of the claims of tho contestod Roosevelt delegates from various states who eventually were denied conven ton seats. He then became delegate from Nv York to the first convention of the progressive party, and in 1914 and 1916 he was the progressive candidate for sena- tor from New York. In the 1916 campaign. however. he supported actively, the cam paign of President wilson for re-elec- ton
 It was in the course of houseclean- l ing in the shipping board after the lGoethaIs- Denman row that the President ramed Mir. Colby for a place on the btard.

EVENT - Annual Meeting of A. X. c.
TIME-7:30 P. NJ, July /, 1920.
PLACE-Council Chamber
PURPOSE Election of Officers.
Who Should be There? YOU !

The officers and directors OF the Min
eral Point Branch, A. r. c. earnestly
request you to be present at this meet
ing as matters of Importance are to be
considered.
The Red Cross is now working on a
peace time footing and during the past
year three branches have been in active
service.
First The Home Service Department
whose duty it is to look after soldiers
and their families Few people realize
the amount of work that has been done
in this department.
Information in regard to allotments,
insurance, discharge papers, etc, have
been furnished to forty-eight persons,
thirty families have been visited, two
hundred eighteen letters have been
written, and two hundred printed letters
and one hundred forms to be filed out
have been sent to soldiers. Twenty
six discharge papers have been register
ed. IN addition to this vocational edu-
cation is now being offered to soldiers
and all applications are sent and inform
alton furnished by this department.
Financial aid to the extent of 1888 has
been given.
The Civilian Relief committee have
visited homes of the sick and needy
and food, clothing, bedding, coal and
nurses services to the amount of $3.50
have been given.
During the flu epidemic a nurse from
the W. A. T. A. was here for one week,
ard the free chest clinic recently held
was under the Red Cross.
The Junior Society was given the
contents of a trunk containing yarn,
outing flannel, and muslin which were
left when the close of the war made it
unnecessary to use these supplies for
soldiers.
From the yarn the Juniors and their
friends made and distributed thirty six
pairs of warm mittens. The other
material was made into warm clothing
or sola and the money used in purchas-
ing cksthing for needy children.
In az three babies were QUILTED and
warm stockings, rubbers, coats and
undercIothes were furnished for several
more.
The Red Cross expected to have q
trained worker to carry on this peace
program but the demand being greater
than the supply we were unable to do
this, so next year we expect, with the
rest OF the county to have part of the
time OF Miss Lewis who has done such
splendid work in the county the past
year.
Miss Lewis will probably be at the
July meeting and will explain her plans
for 1920-192l.
Come out and show your interest and
cooperation by your presence.
