SENATORS DRAW
LOTS IN DISPUTE
Guessing Contest Rules in Re-
appOrtionment.

The casting of lots wound up almost
the last official business of the Legisla-
ture and resulted in the untangling Of
the most involved problem of the session,
that of legislative reapportionment. The
dispute occurred with the reappOrtion-
ment Of the southern part of the State
as it applies to Senators.
Senator Cecil Tague, Brookville, OBJ
Jected to the manner in which the south
ern part of the State was apportioned.
A conference committee, of which Sena-
tor league was a member, failed to agree.
Lieutenant Governor Branch refused to
heed the request Of the committee that
it be discharged
At the last minute the question was
put up to Governor Warren T. McCray.
The suggestion was made that the Sena-
tors draw lots. This was done by guess
ing the page number at which a book
was opened. Representative Herbert VIII
lis, De Kalb County, won and suggested
a compromise plan which Senator Tague
had refused to accept. Mr.. Willis gave
Senator Tague Union, Franklin, Decatur
and Bartholomew Counties, and this sug-
gestion was adopted. Senator Tague had
asked for Union, Franklin, Ripley and
Jennings Counties.

From Times. March
WEDNESDAY TO
BE FISH DAY
Observation Possible Far
From Sea or Lake.

Residents of districts far from either
the Great Lakes or coast sources of sup
ply will be able to enjoy fish dinners on
national fish day, Wednesday, and even
those in the most remote sections may
dine on cured or canned marine delicacies.
The day will serve to bring home to
those at a distance from the fishing
grounds the importance of keeping the
fleets at sea. for the fishery ~ a practical
school from which come sailors and
officers to man merchant and naval ships
In addition these men form an important
factor in the wealth producing class Of
the country, for every fish taken from the
water is new capital added to the wealth
of the Nation. For this season it is well
to eat domestic packed fish products. The
use of imported goods adds no more
wealth to the United States than the use
OF imported grain. In fact, the fisher
men, are the farmers of the sea- the one
difference being that they reap a harvest
prepared by nature which does not re-
quire planting.
In addition to being an economic food
the plentiful varieties Of fish, such as
cod, paddock, herring, mullet and the
lighter grades Of salmon form a most
important part in a well balanced diet.
