And every sleeps eye Jest as bright,

You feel quite glib and lolly;,
You set the day you guess you'll shear,
You make the barn floor tidy,
But ten to one the day YOU name
Is June thirteenth and friday.
You start to get your shearers next,
But, Thunder old man Moulton
Has picked your day and spoke to Spear
The Nichols boys and knowltOn,
And Ed and Abel Holton;
You've got to set another day,
For shearers amt so plenty,
But fore it's done. a cold wet rain
Kills ninteen head or twenty.
Two wooden bosses next you trot
From out your lean-to stable.
Ard an their backs YOU build a bench
For I'd to use and AbSl:
For Spear YOU rig a table:
And then YOU gather stools and things
As every single shearer
Must have the trap he wants, and say
Each one wants something queerer.
The shearing bench and table then
You tog with hooks and tethers;
The Holton boys still stick to straps
On bucks and vearlng wethers;,

Is simply tags. and has TO go

ton, which was done Under the direction
of Max S. Finley, display manager for
the store, is that each separate receiving
set has It's own aerial, ereeted directly
overhead not more than three feet above
it. These are what Is known as spiral
aerials,'' and each one contains about
sixty five feet of wire, although the four
cornered frame on which the wire Is
strung measures not more than two feet
in any dimension.
Many persons are at first so doubtful
that an indoor air wire, standing on a
counter or display case can by any pos
sibiltty be effective that they are not
convinced that It will work satisfactorily
until they have given 1t a tryout and
have heard for themselves.
Although the radio game seems to fall
particularly within the province of the
youngsters, for despite their youth they
are the real pioneers in the amateur radio
field, Mr.. Finley said that there has been
a marked degree Of interest shown in
the Daily Times receiving sets by men
and women of mature years.
"A well known indianapolis business
man came in the other day." he said,
"and rather t0lerantly put on the head
set as If It were an interesting toy. In
a few seconds look of deep interest
came over his face and he hung tight to
the phones for several minutes, making a

POLITICIANS
IN TRAINING
FOR BIG GAME
Spring Crop of Aspirants Un-
usually Promising This
Year.

WASHINGTON. April %. - Spring
training is not confined alone TO base
ball. 1t exists also in that other great
national pastime-politics.
The spring crop Of senatorial recruits
this year is especially promising. 1t is
made all the more so because sprinkled
here and there through the ranks of the
aspirants are some battle-scarred vete-
rams, attempting that most difficult Of
all tasks in baseball or in politics-d
comeback.
By no stretch of Imagination could
William Jennings Bryan be termed a
political rookie" Yet he may become
a pronounced senatorial recruit by try
ing for the Senate this year after having
tried unsuccessfUlly three times to be
President of the United tSates. The
Commoner wants to succeed Park Tram
nell from Florida. Senator Trammen
doesn't want TO be succeeded.
POLITICAL
BoOKMAKERs BUSY.
The political bookmakers of the capital
and they even Outnumber the racing
bookmakers-are engaged these languid
spring days IN some interesting specula-
tioE regarding the possible makeup of
the next Senate. From present appear
ances It is going to be changed materi-
ally, and If even a third of the new
blood gets in that is assiduously en-
gagged in trying TO get in it promises
to be livelier Senate in the Sixty Eighth
Congress.
There are many Republicans, as well
as Democrats, in Washington who would
Ike to see William J. Bryan enter the
United States Senate. They are the ones
who mourn the passing of the good old
days" when the Senate was composed Of
Eeaders and orators instead Of retired
lawyers and bored business men.
One prominent political parsonage de-
scribed the Senate the other day as

ably. He would at least draw galleries,
which is more than can be said for many
eenators in these days, outside Of Bo-
Fah of Idaho.
SMITH
MAY RUN.
Another senatorial possibility is Al
Smith Of New Cork, former Governor.
and rated by political friends and foes
alike as one Of the best two-legged. two
hsted debaters that ever stepped On
legislative floor. Smith IS now in bust
ness life, but his political friends in the
capital assert that he can be drawn back
into politics.
Tammany Democrats IN Washington

nomination if he wants 1t and that If he

since the passing Of PeRrose. changes
with such lightning-like rapidity that
Republican leaders in Washington are
uncertain from one day to the next who
to expect In the Senate from western
Pennsylvania. 1t was Maj David Reed

election Of Senator George Wharton
