 Representative Woodruff of Michi- gan, at one time Sergeant Woodfill's officer, in announcing that he soon would introduce bill to give the hero his former rank as a captain, declared that nobody closely asso- ciated with him knew of his exploits until after the issuance of gen sral orders and that the sergeant's one regret was that he had not killed a few more of the enemy.
 The sergeant went into the corri- dor after the reception and shook hands with nearly every member of the House.

The crowd paid silent homage to the symbol of Italy S dead as the gun carriage bearing the remains passed down the long, wide thoroughfare to the monument. Men barred their heads and women bowed in remembrance of brothers or sons lost in the gigantic conflict.
 The procession at last reached Piazza Venezia, taking it's place be- fore the monument and there eight noncommissioned officers lifted the coffin from the gun carriage and car ried it up the two short flights of steps to the place of burial.
 The casket was then introduced into the place allotted for it and then by a hydraulic contrivan the door of heavy stone was closea. At that moment the bells of the various churches throughout the capital be- gan pealing the message that the ceremony was finally concluded.

LEGENDARY SEA MONSTER.

By Science Service.
 For many centuries Norway has had It's legends that recited frightful tales of the kraken, a great and mys- terious marine creature. that was a danger to sailors on the high seas.
 Now scientists have found that the localities in which these folk tales flourish are the habitat of giant squids or 'cuttle fish," of the genus architeuthus, that have frequently been cast up upon sea beaches.
 According to Dr. James Ritchie of the Royal Scottish museum. the largest of these on record had ten- tacles that have a span close to 30 feet. It was feet 9 inches long from the tip of it's tail to the tip of it's short arms. but its tentacular arms were each IA feet long. The tentacles were armed with some 1900 toothed suckers, which must have rendered the creature formidable enemy.

BELIETE IN YOURSELF

The world would not amount to much if there had not
been men throughout the of time who believed IN
Themselves Some were dreamers; were egOlstS;
some stumbled upon but in all their faith in
themselves boundless.
The world seldom takes man at his true worth until
about the time his tombstone gets lottery.
People will think much of man who does not
honestly and Justly think great deal OF himself. The
best salesman in the world he who believes in his own
goods and knows how make the other fellow think the
same way. All in life less matter of
salesmanshp but the finest salesman who ever lived Will
not succeed if he is selling false goods.
Make Yourself first of all. worthy Of success. BE
thorough and efficient Be clean in your life and honor
able in your dealings. Be willing to give full value for
what you receive and, with this equipment, forth and
win.
The world is not going to knock down Your front door
and drag you forth unwillirgly to its great rewards
There are very nice stories in junior publications
about opportunity sneakng up behind unexpectedly
But the who have been overwhelmingly surprised
by kind and indulgent fate few.
Modesty is virtue with low batting average.
Do underestimate your ability, your WORTH
and your rights Herein lies the secret Of many
mans success-Thrift Magazine.

EDGAR BROTHERS.
BIG IMPROVEMENT

Commencing at once, Edgar Broth
ers are starting on the erection of a
new building on the fifty foot lot west
of their present location on Main
street, which will be rushed to COM
pletion as fast as possible.
The new building, when completed,
will be used as a stock and sales
room and general office. The present
location will then be devoted to SER
vice and storage and a show room for
used cars.
The improvement, which will dou-
bic the present capacity of their man
store, is made necessary by the con
slant increase in their business anc
the consequent cramplng of facilities
to transact it.
In the readjustment and return tC
normal conditions perhaps no firm II
the valley has felt the impetus OF
growing trade as have Edgar Broth
ers, and their readiness to spenC
thousands in taking care of growing
trade is an indication of the return o.
good times.

HutchinsOn's Budget Cut to

The Kansas Free Fair association
will continue to receive its $4,000 a
year appropriation from the state un-

house ways and means committee. The
Hutchinson state fair appropriation
budget for the bienniu1n was cut from

Consideration of the fair bills
aroused one of the hottest meetings
the ways and means committee has
held this winter. There were many
bitter and feeling remarks when the
knife was used on the Hutchinson fair
bill. But the house committee is after
the big expense bills and decided to
eliminate some of the demands for the
salt town show.
Under the action of the committee
Topeka's fair will receive $4,000 for
the biennium. while the Hutchinson
show will receive 100000. The bill
will probably be reported late today
