Addition of Reclamation
Project Is Held to
Forecast Defeat.

Two amendments of far reaching
soldiers bonus bill by the Senate
and final passage of the measure
in amended form is expected today.
The first amendment was that
sponsored by Senator McNary. Ore
gon. Republican, appropriating
$3.50. 100000 for the reclamation of
arid and swamp lands to provide
for ex-service men. II carried by
a vote of 43 to 26.
The other. offered by Senator
Simmons, North Carolina. Democrat.
provided that Interest on the for
eign debt should be used to pay
the bonus. 1t was adopted without
record vote.
So much time was taken up in
disposing of these two amendments
that a final vote on the bill had to
be deferred.
Opponents Predict Veto.
The passage of the McNary re-
clamation amendment is held by op-
ponents of the measure to forecast
a veto and possible defeat.
The Simmons amendment also
was adopted with complete disre-
gard for the wishes OF the admin
istration. President Harding and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
frequently have asserted IL would
be unwise TO count upon the foreign
obligations to yield interest pay
ments sufficient to pay the bonus.
In the event the administration
view is proven correct. the Simmons
anne ndment provides the bonus shall
be paid out of any money avail
able in the Treasury.
Senator La Toilette came here
from the midst of his campaiE.

enough to make a strong plea for
the bonus.

the bonus. mentioning particularly

"Profiteering in the war produced

said Senator Capper. Il would like
to see this government recover the
hundreds of millions of dollars
stolen from the Treasury by the
grafters who profiteered of the
government and use that money to
pay the bonus"
A struggle may develop today

ment to the measure. vet to be
introduced. This, however. may be
avoided and the measure speeded
to passage. through the announce
ment Of Senator Smoo. that he
would not press the amendment.
Recess Will BE Delayed.
Leaders said several days will
elopse before a recess can be de-
clared pending the return of the
Fordney-McC1mbe bill from con-
ference. Meantime, conferences
must yet be held on the Winslow

An extra day is anticipated

VIRGINIA COUNTIES LEAD
IN RICHES PER ACRE

Counties in every State in the
country have been issued challenge
to come forward and protect their
interests against the claim that
Northampton and ACcomac counties
in Virginia eastern Shore), are the
richest per acre in the United States.
There are more than 5000 counties in
the United States to be heard from.
This challenge was issued by Henry
w. Taylor, agricultural statistician
of the United States Bureau of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates, in Rich
mond, and he is awaiting replies from
all sections of the country. The
claims for Northampton and Accomac
are based1on the report of the United
States census, upon a comparison OF
the average value per acre Of crops
and livestock products for the lead
ing counties in the country, carefully
prepared by Taylor himself. The chal-
lenge was issued through the agri-
cultural agents of the IS states.
The 1920 census reports 1882
acres in farms in Northampton
county. which produced a total of
SIO,672,2l2 in crops and livestock
products, thus giving an average
value per acre of $ll7. Monmouth
County, n. j., ranks third in value
per acre, with 1914 acres in farms
and sl7,2O8, 1928 in value of crops
and livestock products and $98 the
average value per acre.

mand, Babe Ruth will leave Mil
waukee for a course of baths at Hot
Springs, preliminary to his regular
spring training work with the Yam
KEGS at New Orleans.
The champion slugger's salary for
1922 will be 100000, with $500
premium for each home run-just
double the figures for last year. Thus
with even 81 home runs to his credit,
Babe will shade John McGraw and
his $4,000 contract as manager of
the Giants. So starts the race for
the honor of being the most expen-
sive human element in baseball.

Is It Your KidneyS2
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
 Troubles

Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is where the danger often les. You should realize that these troubles often lead to dropsy or Bright's disease. An effective remedy for weak or diseas- ed kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of this vicinity are con- stantly testifying.
 Mrs. Victor Wagner, 534 N. Cen ter St, Reno, Nev.. says: "The first symptom of kidney trouble in my case was lame back. l had sharp pains in my back which shot up from the small of my back and after doing a days washing I could hard ly straighten. My kidneys acted ir- regularly and caused me annoyance I suffered from terrible pain in the top of my head. l saw DOan's Kid ney Pills advertised and bought a box. They helped me from the start and soon cured me"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Wagner had. Foster-Mil- burn, Co.,, Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y.

RABBIT" IS PROPER NAME
Combination of Toa-ted Cheese and Brown Ale Has Been Incorrectly
 Called "Rarsbit.'

The original name of the combIna- tIOu ot toasted cheese and good brown uIe was, it is an historical fact. "WeISh Rabbit" It was a slang term, al tlut. It was uue of a large class of similar terms describing in hu- mUruuS manner tine special dish, prud- uct or peculiurity of particular dis trlct. Thus. in England. d "Gcrmuu Duck" was the sang name for a sherp's head srcwrl In onions. "Lcis- terShire FI"yrr" was the name given 10 q bag pudding. and "Digby Chicken Was the slang term for herring.
 Similar examples or metaphysical names for fayori,e dishes are found iu every country. And long before the word "rarcuIt" was ever heard of, the familiar dish of "caeese and u'c" Was known Us a "WyIs. Rabbit"
 It was only when some solemn ety, mologIst came along, and gravely noting the fact Jhu- there was nothing In the dish to even remotely Su-. gest a connection with a rabbit, sug geSted that the word was undouhtcd ly a corruption ot "rarrHit," which would make some sense ut least.
