would not agree to the bonus being
taken to conference again.

adoption but of the passage of a
bonus bill before the tariff.

ber's motion would be subject to un-
limited debate. and that the thirty or
more Republican and Democratic
Senators already lined up against the

BUREAUS PLAN
WEEKLY PAPER
First Joint Publication of Kind In
State May Be Issued In Home
Organizations.

II the executive boards of the
farm and home bureaus which are
to meet early in April vote favor
ably upon the proposition, Rock Is
land county@will be the first county
in Illinois in which a weekly bull
letin is published under the au-
spices of the two bureaus.
At present each bureau is pub
fishing a monthly. bulletin, and it is
felt that better publicity would re-
suit if the bureaus would unite in
publishing a weekly paper with the
announcements of both organize
tions. In many instances the wives
of the members of the farm bureau
are members of the home bureau,
and the two organizations interlock
and have many points in common.
Directors of the farm bureau meet
April /, and members of the execu-
tive board of the home bureau will
meet April 8, on which dates the
project of the weekly bulletin will
come up for consideration.
The farm bureau in Whiteside
county is the only bureau in 1lli-
nois which issues a weekly bulletin,
and so far as known there is no
county in the state in which the
home and farm bureaus have united
for the publication OF weekly
news letter.

will address a meeting of the Port
Byron unit tonight in the Congrega-
tional church.
