In the audience, and said:
"My wife will bear me out in what

Over and over he repeated his rather
long-drawn-out boasts, despite his
yawning audience, always bringing the

But at last he stopped.
Then an irrepressible h,gh-school

UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME

Des Moines,-The Iowa legislature
is on the last lap of it's session fol-
lowing ten day adjournment, and
the next six weeks will be busy ones
for the boys on the hill.
None OF the big appropriation or
revenue bills have as yet been ap-
proved, and these will occupy a great
deal of the attention of the members
for the balance of the session.
For the first time in the history Of
the state it appears likely that the
requests Of the state educational in
stitutions will be materially pared,
particularly those relating 70 new
construction.
A special levy for ten mill period
requested for the carrying out of an
extensive program Of building i'm

The present situation of the soldier
bonus bill is attracting considerable
attention from its friends. The bill
has no open enemies, but the proba-

There Is little doubt, however, that
the bill will be reported fayorably for
