MARTIN WILL NOT
ENTER RACE FOR SENATE

LONDON.-Miss Annie Martin,
twice candidate for the United
States Senate from Nevada, de-
clared at a dinner in the Lyceum
club last night that she would not
enter the present Nevada race.
Lady Rhondda, unsuccessful con-
testant for seat in the house Of
lords, presided at the dinner.

many illustrations which were new

The House committe print of the
letter of the Secretary Of the In
terror on Development of the I'M
perial Valley is a book of 240
pages and many maps and dia-
grams having to do with the
Boulder Canyon dam project. A
few copies TO this book are avail
able for distribution by Congress
man Arentz, and may be had on
application by those legitimately
interested in this greatest of re-
clamation works, SO long as the
supply lasts.
News Of the second disastrous
fire at Manhattan aroused much in
terest and sympathy among Ne

others--the real old-timers-re-
called Chicago in II and '73, and
declared there is lots Of the stuff

For the purpose of getting the
idea across to the Eastern mind in
Congress that Western reclamation
projects purchase goods from East
ern manufacturers, and that money
voted for reclamation work is not
for the West alone, several members
from the Intermountain country
have had diagrams prepared on
maps of the United States, show
ing by lines drawn from a reclama-
ton project to eastern producing
centers the Western market which
may be opened up. The idea seems
to be bearing fruit-even if the
growth be slow. Representative
Summers of Washington prepared
one of these diagrams for the
Yakima project, showing by lines
leading to Eastern points "the orr
gin of 674 carload shipments of
manufactured products that go an
nually to one of the twenty-six
irrigation projects of the West"
1t is safe to say this diagram has
brought the purchasing power of
the West home to many a Con-
gressional mind

Representative Frank C. Mills
paugh, from the First Missouri dis
trict, whose office is across the hall
from that of the Nevada Congress
man, is keenly interested in lethal
gas. Millspaugh is small of stature,
but full of the "show me" stuff for
which his state is famous. He is
serving his first term in the House
of Representatives, being the first
Republican Congressman to be cleo
ted from his district since 1896.
Although first-termer, it was Mills
paugh who had the whole District
of Columbia agog over his opposi-
tion in committee to the extension
of the Ball rent act, which eventually
was passed before the committee
report was printed.

Summers also made a speech in
committee of the whole which, be-
cause of its unique comparisons,
attracted no little attention. He
said, among other things; "When
Columbus discovered America the
great sagebrush plain was there.
The Declaration of independence
left it untouched. Throughout
the centuries this sagebrush plain
has been the home of the jackrabbit.
"The jackrabbit pays no taxes.
He builds no homes. He requires
no saws from Indianapolis, no
hammers from Cincinnati, no paints
from Ohio or Michigan. He wants
no furniture, carpets, stoves,
kitchen ware, nor sewer pipe from
the factories or the East.
Throughout the centuries these
sturdy jackribbits of the purple
sagebrush plains have never placed
an order for telephone equipment
in Chicago or Pittsburg. They
nevered wired to South, Bend or
Louisville for farm machinery,
While they multiplied and replen-
ished the earth, their progeny re-
quired no fabrics from the looms
Of the East nor from the South.
They placed no orders for wearing
apparel in Rochester nor Connecti-
cut. The factories of Missouri and
Massachusetts, never furnish their
shoes. These millions of jacks
old and young-never order their
breakfast food from Niagara, or

Millspaugh says he likes the spirit
of Nevada in not being afraid to
attempt a new thing; he likes the
condemned Chink for being willing
to try anything once; but he says
he is reminded Of baby in the
railway coach in which he rode to
Washington. The mother, absorbed
in a novel, sat in the seat behind
the new Congressman. Behind the
mother was the baby and its nurse.
The baby cried.

child? Give him what he wants"
commanded the mother, absently.
A short silence; then the young
ster let out an awful whoop.
"What is it now?" demanded the
mother, without looking about.
"Please, ma'ma," replied the
nurse, "the baby wanted bee; and
l let him have it."

Frankfort, Ky, April 1S-The
trend of labor back to rural com.
munities is continuing, although
the supply of farm lsboe ,ras not
yet reached normal, is seen here
by the officials in the figures on
the subject compiled BY ", G.

ture, working in .co-operation
with the United States Bureau OF,
Markets. The supply Of farm Ia
Dor this year is 95 per cent OF
normal compared with:9l per cent
last year.
The failure of crops OF 1920 to
be profitable 70 farmers is held to
be responsible for the fact that
the demand for farm labor this
year is only 90 per cent of nor
NAL, while a year ago it was 9S
per cent of normal.
Reports on the labor question
were received from all except
four the counties, Knott, Butler,
Bell and Leslie.

centage of supply with $50 per
