moved into your city, which, of course

Taggart and family. Not that this
special family loved our community
less, but Columbus more.
Our school visited, on the afternoon
Of Thanksgiving, the government
gravel pit, located on the plantation
OF the late Trouper Armstrong. We
found the loading and unloading Of
gravel very interesting. Mrs. VIM.
Paffrath entertained Thanksgiving.
0he occasion was deliciously roast
ed goose. We are sure the dinner
was splendid, though we feasted on
pie" at another home. Our school
rendered the following program
Thanksgiving: Song, "Thanksgiv-
ing; recitations, Golden Corn: .oThe
Husker,' "The National Flower" "The
Pilgrim and the Turkey" "Our Baby
Iaster,' and papers were read on
The coming of the Pilgrims and
"Lovin'," then America was sang.
All present seemed to enjoy the exer-
cises very much. Now, Mr.. Editor, It
was the Mullins school that pulled off
that little "stunt'' and not New Hone,
school, though we recognize the great
ness of the New Hope school. Our
school is being taught by Mrs. c.

the American institute In New York
and proposed a model for a new ship.
He succeeded in interesting William
Aspinwall, one of New York's China
trade princes, who In 1912 signed a
contract to build a ship of 750 tons
according to Griffiths' designing.
The ship was completed in January,
1915, and named the Rainbow The

PERIOD PLANNED
Further Recess During
November Elections Is
Background;Deal Made
on Packer Measure.

Washington, May pa new plan for
recess of congress from June A or 5
to about August 3, with further recess
over the November elections in the
background, developed Saturday from
senate negotiations on the summer pro-
gram.
The new proposal was said by leaders
or both sides to have gained headway,
subject to future legislative = develop
ments and also possible action by Pres
ident Wilson, but agitation for sine die
adjournment remained
Settlement of the Republican fac
tional row over the meat control bill
was said to have paved the way for
recess. Its advocates agreed to assist
in expediting appropriation bills and con-
ference reports on legislation already
passed by both houses. but with notice
that any remaining time would be de-
manded for the packer measure. With
this understanding the advocates of the
packer measure abandoned their efforts
to put it ahead of the army appropria-
ton.
A conference of Republican senator's
today voted unanimously to press the
appropriation bills and conference re-
ports, but without arranging any other
legislative program. The senate Dem
ocrats we're said to be ready TO co -op-
crate in pushing through urgent meas

If Votes to Pass 1t Can
Be Counted.

Washington, May 22-Republicans Of
the house rules committee Saturday or
dered favorable report on a special
rule giving the soldier relief bill legis-
lative right of way. No date for bring
ing the bill before the house was set,
but Chairman Campbell announced that
no effort to pass the measure will be
made before Tuesday.
Objections Of committee Democrats
were based on the rules proposal TO
deny the opportunity to amend the bill
OIL the floor. Under the Republican
program, only one motion may be made
to recommit to the ways and means
committee.
Indecision of the leaders as to the
date for bringing the bill before the
house was understood to be due to a de-
sire to await the result of q poll of all
Republican members. Leaders said the
resolution from the rules committee will
not be presented until its adoption is n
certainty.
Meanwhile, house Democrats contin-
ued to prepare for a fight against the

posing the cash bonus proposal. The
combination of the anti-bonus Repubh-
cans with the Democrats threatened to

tion plan for providing farm homes for
