But Brent was coming home for
Christmas and that was happiness for
the parents. Only they did wish Brent
was more like the boy he had prom

hard about him. He had told them the
time before of friend of his who was
getting a divorce from his wife.
"But my friend Is SO honorable"
Brent had said. sHe wants@the d.
vorce as he's bored with his wife,
though still she loves him, but he is
having her secure the divorce and is
paying all the expenses, for 1t is only
fair to a Divorce to have the divorce

SHIP SUBSIDY IN THE SENATE

Friends of the Administration
claim that there is majority in the
Senate in favor of the ship subsidy
measure, and that if vote can DE
secured nthe bill as it has gone over
from the House it will pass. This
is doubtless the true situation. But
with the stubborn opposition among
the Senators, including the Demo
Gratis under the able leadership OF
Senator Fletcher from Florida, and
the combined progressiyes and farm
bloc members, it is more than prob
able that the vote will not be secured
before March A. The precent line
up in the Senate that opposed the
Administration is bent on holding up
SINE of the appropriation bills in
order to force an extra session.
Therefore "speed" is not their lexi-
con. but "filibuster" is.

The s. G. Club was pleasantly
entertained at a "Mayfower par

Cook. The double meaning OF
"Mayflower" was shown tasteful
ly by spring flowers and Pilgrim
costumes. The guests were taken
back to colonial days; even the
Indian was in evidence. The table
was especially pretty,with its inn
itation campfire for a center
piece, and bouquets of mayhow-

had play cards for sails. The oe-
casion was also a birthday party,
and the club members gave the
hostess a hand painted olive dish
as a token of remembrance.

VOTE FOR AMENDMENTS
People of State Will Have
Four Amendments Submit
ted to Them at November
Election.

Election.
-Four constitutional amendments
will be submitted TO the people OF
Wisconsin at the election in No
vember for their consideration as
follows:
Jury verdicts in civil eases may
be by a majority vote. At the
present time il requires a unani-
nous vote.
The legislature shall have power
TO fix the salary of the governor
and lieutenant governor, but 1t
shall not be less than the present
salary for these officials. At the
present time the governor re
ceives a salary of $1,000 a year.
There are number of depart
ments in the state whose heads
are paid n salary greatly IN eX-
cess of this amount. If the people
approve of this amendment it Is
quite likely that the Legislature
will fix the salary of the COVER
nor at about $1,000 a year.
Sheriffs will be permitted to
succeed themselves. At the pres
ent time the constitution prohlb-
its a sheriff from succeeding him
self. The supreme court has rig
idly interpreted this constitution
al provision. A sheriff holding
office must permit a term held by
some other sheriff to intervene
before he can again hold the
office. If the proposed amend
ment is adopted a sheriff may be
a candidate to succeed himself the
same as any other county official.
Municipalities will be permit
ted to bond themselves for the
purpose of public utilities. There
is some question as to whether
this can be done at the present
time and cities not exceeding the
debt limit. IL this amendment Is
adopted it will give cities of the
state greater power in purchas-
ing public utility plants.
Five other amendments passed
at the last session of legislature
will he advertised in the paper
thu fall but before they are sub
mitted TO the vote of the people
must be approved 10y the 1923 ses-
sion Of Wisconsin legislature. The
proposed constitutional changes
include home rule for cities; Civ
ing the legislature power TO Gre
ate or diminish the number of
circuits in the state; increasing
the compensation of members of
the legislature; permitting a state
debt for purposes of reforestra-
ton and allowing the state to
create n debt in the interest of
promoting settlements. These
last five proposed amendments
were peSsed by the last session of
the legislature. OF these five the
one which will apparently attract
the most attention, provides for
an increase of legislature salary.
At the present time senators and
assemblymen are paid a salary of
$500 for the legislative session.
Most members of the legislature
find that their expenses are great
Is in excess of this amount while
attending the session.
The home rule for cities amend
ment 20 the constitution will not
be submitted to the voters of the
state at the November election.
Because of an error in passing
the home rule amendment TO the
constitution 1t the legislature of
1919. IL will be necessary to have
this amendment passed by the
1923 legislature. If approved 10y
the 1923 legislature it can be sub
mitted To the voters Of the state
in the fall of Hurley News.

ALL CLEAR BUT ONE POINT
Jane Simply Could Not Understand
 Peculiarly Manifested by Those Baseball Players.

Jane always insisted that she want ed to share all my pleasures. was | not quite so sure about it, but dipiU- macy has its uses, so I said nothing.
 At length it became impossible to postpone again taking her to the bail game. I drew long breath. muttered a prayer for guidance, and gave in.
 '"That man out there on the mound is called the pitcher. He pitches" I began.
 "That man with the bat-with the club-is the batter. He hits the ball.
 "Why?" asked Jane.
 "It doesn't matter" I continued. "He didn't hit it. If he had sue ceeded, however, he would have run toward that sack, which is called first base, and if he gets there before the ball he is safe.'
 "But l thought you said the game was not dangerous Jane objected.
 "Only to otherwise happy mar riages," I responded.
 "Oh !' said Jane.
 eff a man gets to first base" I re- sumed, "the succeeding batters try to advance him by hitting the ball. If he goes all the way. around, past sec ond and third bases, and reaches home plate without being put out, run is scored for his team. 1When three men are put out the other side comes to the bat, and. when each side has had nine turns at bat the game is over. The team that makes the most runs wins.
 "Is that clear?" I asked.
 "Perfectly," Jane assured me. "But one thing I don't understand"
 "What Is it?" I inquired.
 "Why Is it," Jane queried, "why Is 1t that the men wear mittens only on one hand? It seems so silly
 A senlle judge decided that my sub' sequpnt remarks constituted mental cruelty.-J. NJ. K., in Life.
