EXERCISE.

Exercise Is the process Of making
q duty out OF physical recreation.
The world Is full Of happy young
men who are neglecting their work
In order to play golf, swim In gym
nasiums and walk over the green
April hills. That's all pleasure.
The world Is also we'll supplied
with older men who drag themselves
away from their work with regret to
do the same things. That's exercise.
When a man does no manual labor
except to trim coupons off a stack
Of bonds once month, his muscles
get as fiabby and gummy as an old
printers roller and his liver begins
to loaf on the job. He must then
take exercise or fill tastefully de-
signed tomb considerably ahead of
scheduled times
Taking exercise is as pleasant as
taking medicine out of a bottle.
There is no more pathetic sight than
that OF a fat captain of industry
trudging down a country lane on foot
with valet carrying his sweater In
q $4,000 limousine close behind.
Some Of these people pay thous-
ands of dollars in order to 20 to
Europe and trudge down country
lanes on foot. but that Is not exer-
else. It is pleasure.
The government should pass an
amendment to the corporation law
making 1t criminal offense for dir.
ectors to take exercise. Then all
capitalists would shrek with rage
and employ high-priced lawyers to
find a loop hole in the law which
will enable them to chop two cords
Of wood day.
This would be hard on the high
priced physicians, but 1t would pre-
serve our moneyed class and would
make exercise pleasure.
Every one needs exercise but It Is
like salvation. It is too free. If
there was Q law against walking

tato prices, has been recently re-
eeived by the County Farm Bureau

lower in the fall than in the spring.
TIE August forecast for the u. S.

NATIONAL BUDGET
 BILL IS REPORTED
Measure Contains Same Provi- sion Which Caused Veto By
 President Wilson
By Associated Press

Washington, April 25.-The national budget bill, with the same provision which caused it's veto last year by President Wilson, was reported to the House today by Chairman Goode of the special budget committee.
 The measure as agreed upon by the Senate and House in the last Congress was objected to by the President be- cause of the section providing that the comptroller general and his assistant. whose offices would be created by the measure, be subject, to removal by im- peachment or by concurrent resolution after hearing. for neglect, inefficiency or malfeasance. MT. Wilson held that the President, who would ap- point these officials, alone could re- move them.
 The vetoed bill was modified to meet the Presidents objection and was passed by the House but failed of pas sage in the Senate.
 In presenting the measure Chairman Goode reported that one change pro- vided for appointment by the President of director general and assistant di- rector of the bureau of budget, at sal aries of s10,000 and s7,500, respectively. The old bill made the Secretary of the Treasurer the director

Clara Kimball Young doesn't really belong in newspaper story, although she's ornamental enough to decorate any front page and indeed she has dec- orated more front pages than very nearly any other moving picture star in America today
 My reason for saying this is that she's just too pretty and too lovely for any mere newspaper picture" either in words of photography to try to portray the loveliness of her peachy skin and glorious eyes and jet black, wavy hair and crimson lips.
 She's like you'd imagine Cinderella" or Alice in Wonderland" or the Peri at the Gate" or any other half dozen exquisitely lovely creatures of fairy land or celestial realms would be, for Clara KimbAll Young is more than beautiful. she is superlatively beautiful; she's so beautiful that it just hurts she's so beautiful it stirs your enthu- siasm and makes you think of some di- vinely lovely creature you've always dreamed of but have never even so much as hoped to see.
 As 1 said before. Clara Kimball Young is more than beautiful This, of course, was expected of her, since she's an actress, and "cinema actress at that but even a rapturous descrip- II eyes, and graceful figure, doesn't give the beauty touch" to her that she de- serves because her enthusiasm and her cleverness and her interest in every thing worth while, music. books, pic- lures. people and things gives an added charm to her beauty, which is delight fully refreshing.
 As we chatted yesterday (and, by the way it was lovely to be remembered by Miss Clara Kimball Young after five years had elapsed since the afternoon in New York when I slipped into the studios where she had been hard at work all day long and asked her to send a message way down south in Dixie" to her many admirers, and she so graciously acquiesced in my re- quesD, sshe was most enthusiastic about this, her first visit to the south.
 T never saw such hospitality and such graciousness. It is a real de- light to be among such delightful peo- pie. feel like I have known every body here all my life.
