the opinion OF George E. Wallace,

expense with both a smaller house and
q smaller senate" declared Mr.. Wal
lace :.Of course, there would be some
patronage knocked out. and that alone
Would aus opposition, but the state
ASA whole would be q lot better off"
M Wallace suggested that the
house: could easily dispense with so
members. There are now 113 and So
ought to be. ample to legislate. for the
state Mr.. Wallace says. He would re-
dhcc the senate in about the same pro-
portion having % or 80, senator's in
stead of 49.
THE appropriations Of the budget
board for two legislative sessions was
$116.3Ss," said Mr.. Wallace. "TheGleg-
islature costs a lot of money, and q

A bill has been introduced in the

This tidal phenomenon is a result
of the waters of the Bay of Fundy

GRAFTON recently performed at Long

Hardware has been a steady diet

consuming these articles he has taken
some foods necessary for sustenance
as well. The hardware menu which
he may have taken as dessert, is de-

He was familiar with horses and was

while working there that the strange
hankering after hardware would over
whelm him.

week ago to some of his prison fellows
of severe stomach aches. But he kept
his secret up to the last few hours,
when he broke down and told the at
tendants that "some nuts and bolts are

subjected to an X-ray and the plate
showed an astounding collection of
material weighing heavily on the pit

speed after the operation and talked

eaten the dog chain in Newark, N. j.,
