brunette instead OF blonde.
Second--why Miss Blume needed a. wig.
MISS Blume, It appears, had gone through

however. had happened. Her hair began
to break and grow ragged. Specialists

Seraphis shc was happy. She reached
down and patted the frolicsome white dog
that greeted her. She liked him. He liked
her:

singled me out for his attentions. He was
q rude and boisterous dog. He jumped at
the waves as they broke on the deck and
tried to swallow them. Then he would

tiresome.

Guernsey Calf Club Meets

On Saturday afternoon on Major Z.
S. Persons farm the Ward County
Boys and Girls Guernsey Calf Club
met and Judging contest was held
which is the preliminary work Of
selecting Judging team to enter the
contest at the Inter State Fair at Far
go in July. The winner of the State
Judging contest to be given trip to
the National Dairy Show at st. Paul

r. f. Voss, assistant county agent,
conducted the contest and was assist
ed by Fl. r. Killing, assistant state
club leader. Mr.. Voss explained to
the club members the rules Of the con-
test and how the the work Of selecting
the judging team would be conducted.

which the team will be selected.

now under preparation. 1t is the
hope Of the committee to have this
bill in shape to present to the House
in time so that it may become law
before the expiration of the temper
AIRY emergency act.
The Young emergency bill is still
in the Senate Finance Committee and
will probably not be reported until
after the disposal of the Knox Peace
resolution, now holding first place on
the Senate calendar. The Knox res
olution is meeting with determined
Democratic opposition, led by Hitch
cock of Nebraska, and Underwood of
Alabama. Senator Nelson, Mime
sofa, in a prepared, speech, announced
his intention of opposing the separ-
ate peace resolution but to date he
is the only Republican Senator to
bolt the majority leadership. Reed,
of Missouri, has already given his
active support to the proposal and
several other Democrats are expected
to follow suit. This will lead to
rather prolonged debate in all likeli-
hood and in this event consideration
Of the emergency tariff law will be
considerably delayed.
The establishment of an interstate
highway system under a Federal
Highway commission is proposed in
bill introduced by Senator Townsend,
Of Michigan. One hundred million
dollars for each of the next two fiscal
years would be expended, the various
states to contribute an equal amount
to that apportioned to them.
In the House the Army appropria-
tons bill is still under debate, Chair
man Kahn, of the Military committee
leading the supporters Of an amend
ment to the bill increasing the enlist
ed force Of the army to $4,000 men.
Debate on the proposed international
agreement for the reduction of arma-
ments continued throughout the week,

confident that he can develop a win

ents Of a number of the club members
were present and were very much
pleased with the work of the boys and
girls. After the contest Major Per-
son showed the club members thru the
dairy barns and gave them some in
