MAY BASKETS
Nv Martina Gardner ow en-.

Fred's aunt, who was kindergarten
teacher, had given him pair Of round
pointed scissors for his fourth birth
day. She had also prevented possible
trouble by explaining that the scissors
must never, never cut anything unless
Mother had first told him that they
might. Now Fred was demanding:
what may cut, Mother" For
moment Mother was puzzled. He
hadn't mastered the use Of scissors
sufficiently TO cut out pictures. he
could just make straight slashes.
How would you like to make May
baskets ?" mother asked at last. "oh,
goody, May IL" he returned. clapping
his hands. Eyes, indeed Mother as
sured him, as she dived into the draw
err that held her haphazard collection
Of odds and ends. "See, here are some
small boxes, all emtpy. Raisin boxes,
cereal boxes and cookie boxes. And
here is some pretty pcper. The pink
is incest. II was left over when ! put
fresh papers on the pantry shelf. I'll
cut strips to go around the boxes.
Then you can cut them into fringe.
Try to make your cuts even and close
together. When you have enough
good fringe we will paste il all around
the boxes. Then we will fasten on
some stout strips for handles and
cover the handles with other strips OF
pink paper fringed on both sides, and
the May baskets will be finished.
"And may I hang them on May
Day. asked Fred. "of course you
may" replied Mother While you are
cutting think about the playmates to
whom you wish to give them. Well
talk it over while they are being
finished"
Mother returned TO her baking with
a clear conscience. Son was learning
the Joy Of the Job Well Done. He was
gaining control Of the muscles OF his
chubby little hands. And soon there
would be a talk which would stimulate
the habit Of Taking Thought for
Others. Certainly that was sufficient
interest for the investment Of ten
morning minutes.

Continuous Service.
With the beginning of the Fifty
sixth Congress, in 1899, Mr.. Mondell
renewed n Congressional service that
has continued uninterrupted up to the
present time. While the state has suf-
fered many political vicissitudes, has
twice cast II majority of its votes for
Democratic candidates for the Presi-
dency, has twice defeated Republican
candidates for Governor, and elected
Il Democratic Senator, he has come
through each election with Il very sub
stantial majority and has unfailingly
run considerably ahead of his ticket.
Always on the Job.
AS the only Representative in Con
gress of Il state having n wide and
lively interest in Legislation and in
departmental administration. he has
felt it his duty to remain continuously
in Washington during the sessions of
Congress to the very great detriment
of his personal interests, and has es-
tablished Il record for attendance
which has never been equaled-that of
approximately a weeks absence i'm all
of his twenty-four years service.

In the early period of, his service

greSS. His influence has beer as great
and effective in warding off nl-ad-
vised legislation as in promoting wise
laws. y conspicuous example of this
was his active opposition to leasing
legislation which, II adopted years ago
when actively urged, would have with
held from settlement large areas since
successfully cultivated or utilized in
small holdings.
Champion of the Settler and the West.
Another conspicuous example of Mr..
Mondells efforts on behalf of the set
tier was h successful fight which ms

lands entered under the Homestead
Laws. Long = Mr.. MOndell became
recognized in Congress as the leading
champion and exponent of the West
and the Western view in matters re
lating to lands, water rights and kin
dred subjects. From Alaska To Ar
kansas, from Montana to New Mexico,
he has received warm approval and
commendation for the position he has
taken in defense of the Western set

Lands. Quite early in Ills service he
became chairman of the Committee ON
Irrigation of Arid Lands. He retained
his place on the Committee on Public
Lands for many years, notwithstand-
ing tempting offers on larger commit
tees, because he felt the importance
to the state of the land problems be-
fore that committee. The last four
years of that service was as chairman
of the committee.
Leadership.
In 1913 Mr.. Mondell became a mem
her of the Committee on Appropria-
tions. During the eight years of Pres
ident Wilson's administrations he was
a member of the Minority Steering
Committee. With the organization of
the SiNty-siXth Congress, In 1919, came
an organization of the Republican ma
jority on lines In complete harmony
with the notifications which the
rules Of the House had been undergo
ing for some time. A Committee on
Committees vas constituted; n Steer
ing Committee of five was provided,
ana the office of Floor Leader, sep
aratc and distinct from a committee
place and responsibility, established.
His Rule Of Service.
Mr.. Mondei, though he cast but one
vote of the 236 cast by the thirty
seven members OF the Committee on
Committees, was nominated rs Floor
Leader and became chairman Of the
Committee ON Committees aud chair
mar of the Steering Committee. which
selections were approved by party
conference. At the beginning 81 the
SiNty-seventh Congress Mr.. M0ndell
was unanimously reelected 10 these
positions. He has expressed his view
of his duties and responsibilities In
the positions he holds as follows:
1T Is not my province or my purpose
TO insist on having che House follow
my view In al cases az 10 what ought
TO be done, but rather TO advise and
suggest ms to what seems to be the
wisost and best course, and TO aid the
majority In crystallizing Its best Judg-
mont and opinion into law"
Land Legislation.
Owing to wyomlng's great interest

in public land questions and Mr.. Mon
delIS wide and practical knowledge of
public land problems, it was natural
that he should early and continuously
take an active part in the considera-
ton of public land questions.
He has been repeatedly compliment
ed by his colleagues on both sides of
the chamber by being referred to us
the highest authority and the best
posted man in the House OF Represent
atives on land laws. 1t is equally true
that he has to his credit more con
structive legislation on the subject of
public lands than any man now living,
including mineral, irrigation, home
stead and general land legislation. A
few of the more important and better
known pieces of legislation fathered
and promoted by the Wyoming Con
gresham are the following:
The Oil Placer Act.
Several Second Homestead Acts.
Amendments to the Desert Land
Laws.
Repeal of the Lieu Land Law.
Act liberalizing the Isolated Tract
Resurvey Acts. including the Cen
eral Resurvey Act.
Act for Amendment of Entries, in
GLIDING those Patented and Trans
ferred.
Acts for Extension or Period for Per-
fecting Desert Entries.
Act Transferring Forest Reserves to
Interior Department.
Act for Agricultural Entry of Coal
and Oil Lands.

While it was not Mr.. MondelI's bill
which became the Stockraising Home

form, all who are familiar with the
subject admit, than the bill which
eventually became a law. Under he
Democratic administration IA bill intro
duced by II Republican, following the
usual practice in such matters. vas
not adopted, but had Mr.. Mondells
bill been enacted the long delays In
designations would have been avoided
and the general mineral reservation
would not have been a feature of the
legislation. Among the more lmpor-
tant land legislation In the promotion
Of which Mr.. Mondcll took an active
and leading part are:
The National Reclamation Act.
The Reclnmati Extension Act.
The Threc-Year Homestead Law.
The Stock Raising Homestead Act.
The California and oregon Land

STROLLER WHITE HAPPY

Stroller White is happy candidate these days He just sits back and smokes his pipe and dreams of marble halls and what he is going to do for Alaskans when he fills the delegates chair at the National capital Stroller serenely contemplates the hasty travel of Delegate Sutherland four or five thousand miles and the expenditure of possibly several thousand dollars, in order that his constituents may place their approval on his past efforts and again give him the republican nomina- tion. And Stroller complacently reads of the mushing of Jim Galen thru the interior and later down through the First division and the possible eXpen- allure of thousands of dollars on his part, all with the hope of securing a place on the republican ticket. But Stroller is not required to even make an effort for votes as he is assured a place on the official ballot as the dem ocratic nominee, there being no other candidate And if he can get enough disgruntled republicans to support him in November he feels that his dreams may come true, and without effort ol price.-Exchange
