laid aside for time. Later, when Senator Sterling
asked that the bill be taken up again so as to leave
it unfinished business when the recessed, SEN

adjournment and the attempt abandoned so that
other legislation could be passed.

- House passed the Ball bill extending the life
of the Rent Commission of the District of Columbia
seven months beyond October "a 1921, which was
the date fixed in the original bill for it to expire.

Sundays cold rain blighted the
hopes of baseball fans all over this

FORD men In CONVENTION
SAY WISCONSIN ISGARDEN SPOT
OF THE UNITED STATES
Milwaukee Branch Leads the Nation
In Number of Ford Cars Sold
This Year

Ford agents of Western Wisconsin
met in convention at Lacrosse Mon
day. All of the Vernon county Lizzie
handlers were in attendance. They
talked shop, Toasted, and listened to
most optomistic address by Gilpen,
manager of the Milwaukee branch.
In the business depression and re-
adjustment of the past few months
Wisconsin has been more lightly aft
fected than any section of the United
States. An indication of this is the
fact that the Milwaukee branch of
the Ford Motor Co. is leading all other
branches in the United States in num-
Der of cars sold.

neer of the Wisconsin inspector bu-
reau, were most practical, helpful and
interesting.
