FATIGUE

FATIGUE
When worn from toiling in the
sun, from baling hay and cutting ice,
the rest that ONE when day is
done, is surely, surely worth the
price. 1 labored hard and long this
week, 1 sprung new curves in honest
toll; the neighbors heard my hinges
creak as though they needed castor
oil. The neighbors saw me hoe my
beans, and cultivate the growing
spuds, as they rolled by in limou-
sines, all dolled up in their costly
Cuds. The neighbors rode along the
shore and UP and down the asphalt
pave, and found all mortal things a
bore, as dour and dismal as the
grave. And when the evening came
at last it bored them SO they had to
weep; they went to bed and lay
aghast, and cussed because they
couldn't sleep. And !, fatigued by
honest toll. found peace and comfort
in repose; I'd left my trademark on
the soil, out where the pallid pump
kin grows. oh, I had done the best
1 could to show a line of sterling
worth; / felt 1 had achieved some
good to vindicate my stay on earth.
And that's a feeling most sublime
for any man to entertain, to know
he has not wasted time, or let a day
get by In vain. And so a spirit calm
was mine, when to my couch night
saw me creep; there I INDUCED in

THE SIZE OF TIT HOUSE
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 22.-Some time
before the present congress expires the House.
with the concurrence of the Senate, must pass
a law determining what it's own size is to pc
for the next ten years. An effort was maze
to get this business out of the way during the
closing days of the last session, but the Senate
refused to pass the measure which had been
adopted by the House.
The fight on this legislation has so many
angles that the census committee of the House.
charged with the responsibility OF formulatlng
the measure, is having a hard time or II. Ihere
has been a great deal of sentiment manifested
against the apportionment of representatives
so that any state would lose any of the seats
it now holds in the House of Representatives.
Then there is brought forward the argument
that the present size of the House, 435 mem
hers. makes efficient legislative work harder
than If there were approximately 800 represen-
tatives. .
Another view, strongly supported, would limit
the number of members of the House TO $50,
and work out the new apportionment on that
basis. This was strongly opposed on the ground
that some states would lose some of their seats
on the basis of the last decennial census. while
there would be corresponding gains in other
states.
Members Of the census committee of the
House realize that the work they have before
them ought to be out of the way as soon as
possible, as the outlining of congressional DIS
tricts under the new apportionment must De
made by the various state legislatures. .
The measure introduced in the House last
