Tom Gait did his best. At 4 a. m.
Art interrupted the serenade with a
load of buckshot
The greatest of Toms great quail
ties was his consistency, SO the
next night he came again. He
started early the second night. Ten
verses of Toms best love song failed
to bestir Miss Cat in Arts basement.
She slept soundly through it all.
That was more than Art could do.
At the opening of the eleventh verse,
Art interrupted again.
The next night Tom came again,
only to be interrupted before his
song reached the ears OF his lady
love.
If she would but consent to come
out, if only for few minutes, Tom
would deem it gift from the God
dess of Love herself.
Fourteen successive nights and no
success!
Last night, however, Art didn't
interrupt. He's waiting to hear from
Cynthia Gray or some other noted
authority to whom he has written
to learn how to say in cat talk that
his little pet is stone deaf and
couldn't hear a hundred cats if they
serenaded her in the same room.
Poor Tom Gait! Poor Art Ber-
liner.

LACK OF FARM
LABOR ALARMS
Senators Report Fear of
Decreased Production
Accounts Scarcity

WASHINGTON, April 1S.--Alarm-
ing reports of decreased food pro-
duction due to, the scarcity of farm
labor have been made by senators
and members of the house who have
recently returned to the capital. The
reports have been sent to Secretary
Meredith of the department of agri-
culture
Senator Ellison D. Smith of South
Carolina, who is just back from a
rip through the south, predicts that
the country will soon be face to
face with the most serious food fam
inc in history.
Thousands and thousands of
acres hitherto given over to the pro-
duction of foodstuffs are lying idle
and unfurrowed in the states he Wis
tied.
Similar reports have been made by
Senator Capper of Kansas and sem
ators from other of the great food
producing states.
Senator Smith declares that while
the amount of farm labor last year
was "a per cent of the normal this
year it is only 70 per cent of nor
NAL and is of an age and character
which are not conducive to the high
est productivity.

QUESTION of q municipal water sys-
tenn for Blackfoot was taken last
night by city council when q resolu-
tion was passed ordering an ordi-
nance drawn calling for q bond
election for 100000 for that pur-
pose. 1t is expected that the elec-
tion will be held some time in
June.
Council took definite action in
the matter after determining the
opinion of the voters and taxpay-
ers Of the city. The various civic
organizations and business men of
the city are in favor of a munich
pally owned system, according to a
report made at last nights meet
ing.
No definite action was taken on
the purchase of the present water
system. A proposal has been sub
mitted by council to the water COM
pany offering $4,000 for the sys-
TEN, which so far has not been ac-
cepted. 1t seemed to be the dis
position of council last night to go
ahead with the municipal system
regardless of the present company.
The proposed plans for water
system call for the expenditure of
$224,397.
James Just of Presto was pres
ent at council last night and urged
that the city, in conjunction with
the commercial club, meet with the
congressional committee when they
come to this state in regards to
the reclamation appropriation for
the Indian reservation
Peter G. Johnston addressed the
council concerning the building of
a larger culvert for the Miners

SUPREME COUNCIL
SANCTIONS PLANS
tRy Universal Service)

SAN REMO.-The supreme cOUn-
Gil at today's meeting here put its
final sanction upon the Franco Brit
ish proposal to allow the Turks to
retain Constantinople as their capt.
tai.
Much of the day was taken up
with deliberations on the German
problem but no decision was reached
and as the week wears along
through endless arguments and
counter arguments it is becoming
doubtful whether this institution
will be at the conference here. Pre-
miers Millerand and Nitti expect to
leave Saturday 1t can be said with
a considerable degree of certainty
that so far DO definite solution Of
theRuhr problem is in sight.
Britain and italy morally backed
by America continue to insist that
If France allows herself to be rush
ed into the course of action mapped
out by her military chiefs she will
endanger Versailles treaty and un-
dermine IL not rupture allied uni
ty.
France is opposed by all other
powers in her alleged desire for ab-
sorbing the Ruhr coal district and
her known plan to extract from Ger
many by force the coal due the
French under the terms of the trea-
ty.
The other allies are convinced
such "strong arm measures" would
invite the collapse of Germany.
AS regards the differences be-
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia about
the Adriatic settlement, it is learned
little if any headway has been made
in the efforts to get together on that
problem, the viewpoints of the two
governments still being wide apart.

WAR LAWS
.tBy Universal Service,

WASHINGTON with Aus
tria as well as Germany will be de-
clared in the resolution which the
senate foreign relations committee
will report to the senate. The resolu-
tion will be substitute for the
Porter resolution passed by the
house which declares peace with
Germany only.
The senate resolution also will
provide for the repeal of all war leg
islation, including the espionage act,
the overman act, and others which
conferred extraordinary powers on
the executive department more sue
cessfully' to prosecute the war but
they remain on the statute books de-
spite the fact that the war has long
been over
The form of the resolution was
discussed at an executive meeting of
the committee Tuesday. The re-
publicans are in favor of another
resolution instead of the Porter reso-
luton and of including Austria and
Germany. 1t is believed the resolu-
tion will be agreed on in the senate
before the end of this week. Action
in the senate is looked for next week.
Objections raised by republican
senators to the Porter resolution is
that it contains too many matters
and that the vote by which it was
passed in the houses demonstrates
it could not be passed over a vote.
For those reasons favor a redraft
of the Knox resolution which will be
simpler in form and yet express all
the things that need to be said in a
resolution declaring peace to exist.
The resolution will start out with
formal repeal of the resolution
which declared war to exist between
the United States and Germany, will
declare economic and trade relations
re-established end .'peal by name
many of the emergency act put thru

Many republican members indi-
Gated Tuesday that they will go

respective of whether Senator Hich-
cock and other administration lead.
ers are here or not. When Hitch
cock left Washington to begin his
in Nebraska he asked
Senator Lodge to postpone action
until he returned. Senator Lodge
was unable to give such a promise
however, and the resolution will
come from the committee by a party
vote soon.
Senator Lodge and the republicans
take the position intending to op-
pose the resolution anyway so there
is no necessity for postponing action
on it until they are here.

BRYAN LOSES OUT
Showed Under as Can
didate for Delegate
to Convention
tBy Universal Service,

OMAHA.-United States Senator
Hiram w. johnson Of California has
defeated both General Wood md
General Pershing for the Nebraska
republican presidential endorsement
according to early returns from
Tuesdays primary elections. Will
lam Jennings Bryan has been showed
under as a candidate for delegate at
the democratic national convention.
Senator Hitchcock has received the
democratic endorsement, defeating
Robert Ross, local politician. 49,
Senator Johnson's lead over his
opponents was apparent when the
figures began to come in. A typical
Omaha district gave Johnson 3S,
Wood 13 and Pershing 10.
First returns from outside Omaha
came from Grand Island. One pre-
cinct gave Johnson 167, Wood 16
and Pershing IL. On the democratic
ticket Hitchcock received 81 and
Ross and other written in" presi-
Dental candidates, five.
Women in Nebraska participated
in the primary. 1t was the first time
they had balloted. Mr.. Bryan had
made a strong appeal to the women,
even going so far as to ask republi-
can women to vote for him. The
returns indicate that women stuck
to their party and that Mr.. Bryans
appeal was unheeded.
The Bryan delegation of four
delegates at large to the national
convention has been defeated with
the possible of one. The democratic
delegation will be instructed for
Hitchcock The senator's friends
said the result has placed Senator
Hitchcock before the country as a
leading for the democratic conven-
tion. He went before the voters
with an endorsement of Wilson and
declared for light wines. The re-
turns so far shows the Hitchcock
have a two to one endorsement over
the Bryan delegates.
The Bryan delegation was dry.
In many districts Mr.. Bryan's
name was at the foot of the column
of tho eiphf candidates for daIapataS

PALMER LEADS IN GEORGIA
(By Universal Service)


ATLANTA, Ga.-At midnight tho
General Palmer had a lead in the
results of Tuesdays presidential pri-
mary preference, it was certain
neither he, Senator Smith nor
Thomas E. Watson would have a
majority in the democratic state con-
vention thus throwing the conven-
tion into deadlock. Watson was
second with Smith third. Later re-
turns may change the standing of
one or all of the contestants, but it
is impossible that one will have a
majority. The surprise of the pri-
mary was the strength developed by
Watson, twice a candidate for presi-
dent on the popnlist ticket and once
candidate for vice-president with
William J. Bryan as the ticket head.
