NO EARLY FINISH
FOR LEGISLATURE
Members Now Believe it VIII be First
of July Before Work Now Before
Them is Completed.


Madison, WiS.-Legislators who had
hopes OF an early adjournment of the
present session have already aband-
ened any expectation that these hopes
might be realized, they now say. Too
much of internal fighting in the senate
IS given as the reason for what appears
to be protracted session. The coming
week will be broken into by Memorial
Day on Wednesday with a large aum-
Der OF senators absent without leave.
Agreement has been reached that i'm
portant legislation will lie over until
the following week. This will bring
the session into June before the tax
Dill Is reached. The highway bill, all
large appropriation bills and unemploy-
ment insurance will still remain to be
considered by the houses. The large
number of minor measures can be
cleared up in a short time, but until
the tax bills are out of the way many
OF the major problems, according to
legislators, must remain unsettled.
There are few members who see an
adjournment before July 1st. Many
expect that 1T will run into July.

HARDING.

Grace Hudson, waitress who served
President Harding many meals during
his vacation in the south, describes
him as light eater'-only a bowl
of half -and-half for lunch, and for din
ner light meal with never any des-
sert.
Harding takes life easily and isn't
digging his grave with his teeth. This
and his sensible relaxation in a good
out door exercise golf, keeps him
healthy though his job is of higher
nervous tension than any other Amer
leans. His is a system that would keep
most of US fit and poppy. We eat too
much, too fast, and don't get enough
exercise. Then wonder why we're not
feeling up to snuff"

ALLIGATOR BOY.

"The alligator boy" is Henry Crop
pinger rJr, of Miami, Florida He
makes his living by such stunts as
diving into pool Of gators and sport
ing with them. Henry claims be can
wrestle with and handle any alligator
up to his own weight.
He can have the job, and welcome
to it.
In the study ofihuman nature there
is nothing more interesting than the
infinitely varied ways in which men
make money and attract attention.
What invisible influence makes Henry
interested in alligators while others
concentrate on driving nails, laying
bricks, digging bitches and so on? We
are regulated from without by mys-
ferrous force, as much as we regulate
ourselves from within. Puppets.

The Referee
"UNCONsTITUTIONALD

We wonder what the early Ameri-
cans who wrote the Constitution of
the United States would shave thought
if they could have looked into the
future and seen the Supreme Court de-
claring such things as child labor laws
and minimum wage laws "unconstitu-
tional."
There may be doubt as to what
they'd have thought. But there isn't
any doubt about the effect on the
starving soldiers who won our indie
pendence. They fought-or thought
they were fghting-for square deal
for all future Americans.
However, the best thing about the
constitution is that it can be amend
ed. Two needed amendments are in
delbly obvious.

Compensations
BY BERTON BRALEY

WHEN you have bunions on your feet,
Bear them with resignation sweet,
For you are fortunate indeed;
Suppose you were centipede!
DE patient when your throat is sore,
You haven't any cause to roar;
At ills like these you well may laugh;
Be thankful you are no giraffe!
IF rheumatism in your limbs
Your happiness at times bedims,
lou haven't any right to cuss,
Suppose you were an octopus!
AND if the toothache bothers you,
Consider that your teeth are few
Compared to those which you remark
Upon the jawbone of shark.
a ND if this blithe philosophy,
For which l do not charge fee,
Does not appear to do you good
All, we'll, | didn't think it would!

MRS, AGNES HOWARD
DIES At POCATELLO
News Comes as Shock to Her Many
Friends in Mountain Home
Funeral at Pocatello

The sad news reached Mountain
Home early Wednesday morning of
the death of Mrs. Agnes Howard. the
wife of Grant Howard, at the home
of her sister, Mrs. Manhart, of Po-
catello. /.
w. w, Sheaffer received a letter
from Mr.. Howard Thursday morn
ing stating that Mrs. Howard was
in her usual health until one hour
before her death, which was due to
a blood eliot in the heart arteries, so

Mrs. Towards death is a severe
blow to her large circle of Mountain
Home friends, as she had only left
here Sunday, apparently as well as
usual, to visit her sister. However,
she had been in poor health for the
past two years, and it is stated that
the indirect cause of death was tu-
berculosis of the bowels, from which
trouble she had suffered for the past
year.
Mrs. Howard had been a resident
of Mountain Home for the past two
years and during that time she has
endeared herself to everyone by her
many acts of kindness and her Iowa
BILE disposition. She was a member
of the Catholic church and only last
Friday attended a meeting of the al
tar society and was elected secretary
of that organization.
Funeral services will be held Fri

RESUME OF DECEMBER
BUSINESS AT LOS ANGELES
UNION STOCK YARDS


December, the second month oil
business at the Union Stock Yards
Los Angeles, was an active period
for the new industry. The markets
were stable and orderly, prices were
generally higher on all classes OF
livestock than during the latter part
of November, and eleven Los Angeles
packers made purchases at the new
yards. These purchases included a
total of S,435 cattle, 2,0O1 calves,
1902 hogs and 6,164 sheep and
lambs.
In addition to purchases by Los
Angeles packers, several smaller CON
Germs from towns within a radius Of
about one hundred miles bought
stock. including 504 cattle, 621
calves, 81 hogs and % lambs.
Probably the most important de-
velopment during the month was the
increased proportion of stockers and
feeders going back to the country
confirming the theory that Los An
geles is to take its place as one Of
the great stocker and feeder markets
Of the west. A total of 1,60S stock
srs and feeders were shipped to the
itoi $yards. Also there were 4s1
feeder calves, 1877 feeder pigs. !
The latter business is one of the most
thriving departments at the new
itockyards.
Total receipts Of livestock for the
irst two months follow: cattle
1886; calves $40; hogs 1892;
heep 1O.754
