possible for thousands to come here

For the 14th time the county seat
of Hockey County, Tex, has received
a new name. Every name has been
found to conflict with the names of
other towns in the country. so ac-

they have at last found one which
has been approved by the postal
authorities. 1t Is Leveland. The
town has seven inhabitants and there
are only 137 persons in the entire

Senator Hitchcock who led the Senate
faction favorable to the League says
this raises some pretty serious
questions which have got to be set

emphasizes the fact that when the

Senate was not permitted to see any

BONUS MAY BE DELAYED

Washington, Feb. 20-Action on the.
soldiers bonus may be delayed until
house leaders can learn definitely how
much can be spared from the army
and navy appropriations. If the
house will support the drastic cuts
proposed by some leaders, a good
start could be made toward providing
for the first payment Of bonds, lead
ers said.
Meanwhile opponents Of the sales
tax plan, advocated by Pres. Harding
as the only alternative to drop the boz
nus for the present continue to hope
that both the house and senate will
yet be won over to it. The senate ag
ricultural bloc will hold an informal
gathering some time this week to dis
cuss the bonus and decide whether or
not to get back of a revival Of the ex-
cess profits and high surtax as a
means Of providing the revenue.
Representatives Of the house ways
and means committee resumed their
conference on bonus legislation to-
day.

nothing would occur but more talk. y
