In the last American the recipe for
spring tonic and the mention of the
various herbs which, as Aunt Madge
added are being raised somewhere, re-
minded me of Gene Stratton Porter's
books. Have any of you read what 1
think is her latest one, Her Fathers
Daughter" 1t is wonderful story of
an exceptional girl combined with a
charming description of the great va
riety of fora to be found in California
Am sure. you would all enjoy the book,
and hope you win read it If you have
the opportunity. 1t is certainly a well
come rest from the usual hectic run of
popular novels of today
This Is enough for this time. viii
try to write oftener in the future If
this passes the censor.
Sincerely yours,

Confirms
Democrats See Move to Smash
Agricultural BlOc-C0nceded
Senator is Eminently Fitted
for Circuit Post in Eighth
District - Name New Bloc
Leader Soon

Washington, Jan. 81 = Senator
Kenyon of Iowa, leader Of the dis
cussed agricultural bloc and chair
man of the senate labor committee,
was named today by President Hard
ing to be circuit judge for the eighth
district. Immediately after receipt
of the nomination. the senate con-
firmed it unanimously in open ses-
sion.
At the White house 1t was said
that the president had appointed MIR.
Kenyon to succeed the late Judge
Walter I. Smith, because Of his high
regard for the senator's ability and
because of the lattAr's known desire
to have a place on the federal bench.
Senator Kenyon, in a formal state
ment later, also said the president.
when a member of the senate, knew
of his dislike for politics and his love
for the law.
In the senate. Senator Harrison.
democrat. Mississippi, after confirma-
ton had been voted, said that while
he was confident that the appoint
ment of Mr.. Kenyon was because OF
the latter's eminent qualifications.
the question would arise throughout
the agricultural sections as to wheth-
er the selection was not intended 10
drive a wedge into. and ultimately
destroy, the agricultural bloc.
Senator Hefln. democrat, Alabama,
declared that with the Kenyon APP
pointment the drive to break the
agricultural bloc has been started"
Senator Kenyon does not plan 70
Quit the Senate until probably the
middle of February.
BY that time he expects passage
of the CaIper cooperative market
ing bill in which he Is vitality inter-
ested and with which he had much to
90 as leader of the agricultural bloc.
Senator Borah of Idaho is next in
the republican line on the labor
committee and if the senate rule OF
seniority. so long established, is fol-
lowed in this case. Mr.. Borah will
head the committee. The election Of
the committee chairman, however,
rests with the committee on commit
tees.
The new leader Of the agricultural
bloc may not be designated for sew
eral days. Half dozen senators
have been active in promoting the
bloc's program on the floor. among
them being Senators Kellogg. Mime
