Notwithstanding his emlnence as a
legislator the hereinbefore mention
ed gentleman, Mr.. SMALL, for several
months was associated with this
writer as city editor of a Tonopah
daily newspaper. In those days the
one-horse telegraph line into Tono.
pah had all 1t could do and that on
to Goldfeld a little more thar it
could do. The telegraph news came
to ronopah in the usual way and was
telephoned to a Goldleld daily, this
being the duty of the city editor OF
tho former and is where he entered
the scene. At that time the war be
tween Russia and Japan was at its
height and every night there would
be a long dispatch from the front.
OF all the enjoyable memories of the
old days in Tonopah none are more
so than OF the moments when
r. Leslie rolled off the reverberating
syllables of the two great Russian
commanders, "Ro-jes-ven-sky" and
"Ku-ro-pat-kin," through the phone
transmitter. The was such
that the printers and office help used
to drop their rules and mallets and
crowd the editorial room entrance to
hear and would have demanded en-
core after encore had such not been
against the regulations. But II must
be admitted hat the writer, who was

HOW CONGRESS NEEDS FIXING.

Use of the flituster as a means of
killing an undesirable measure was
deprecated in the closing hours OF
congress by Senator Oscar w. Under
wood. Yet he was opposed 10 the
bill thus defeated. Mr.. Underwood
claims that the majority should BE-
allowed to rule and methods sub.
versive of 1t are more harmful to the
continuance of representative govern
ment than to allow the majority to
have Its way. eve though 1t. pro-
posals be iniquitous.
There Is but one way to prevent
this evil-if the practice which the
Alabama senator denounces may be
admitted to be an evil-which Is that
OF the senate adopting an ircnclad
system of cloture. This has long
been in force in the lower house and
has worked satisfactorily to the
country to the extent that ii is pos
sible in such a large membership.
But here is another evil equal to II
mo- greater than the flibustcr, the
cumbersome crowd of ABS represen'
tatives being CT itself n practical pre-
v~entiye of desirable results.
The senate with ninety-eix mem
bers takes months to consider and
pass a measure that is put through
the house in a week. On the one
hand there is interminable debate,
much OF 1t idle and Irrelevant. and
on the other hasty and ill-considered
action both exceedingly harmful to
the best interests of the country.
Clearly there arc two prominent
matters in which congress needs an
overhauling. The senate must get
down to business and the house
should have Its membership cut in
half.

and that is not the issue. The real
issue is as TO whether or not the
state is clothed with the power to
compel the reinstatement or initia-
ton of the shift trains.

through the enormous pressure OF
Advertising demands and news feat

room in these columns to give ap-
propriate recognition to a topic OF
local interest commensurate with its
Importance. The subject had to be
dismissed with a brief paragraph.

Armand, deputy county clerk, which
was bestowed upon him by nature, Is
not one of the marvels of Ely alone.
for 1t has been heard in song en- the
operate stage throughout the eastern
states and 1t was only through n
chain or fortuitous circumstances
that the hand of fate impelled him
to retire from that profession and
seek the quiet life of a place remote
and isolated from the world OF which
there are few in the United States
comparable to Ely. To attempt to
describe such a phenomenon by the
agencies of type, ink and paper Is
obviously 1t lulllt uD0tlldhAh6 ~

stances, il the reader does not hap

city is to suggest their attendance in
the future CT ask others who have for
a verbal description. In short, The
writer never heard its equal for full
ness, coupled with a degree Of audi
bility, which in turn is enhanced by
an enunciation that nears perfection.

TT has been several years now since the six bakers A first sat down together and-amost as housewives do-compared their breads and recipes and methods.
 All of them had been running their own bakeries for years and serving their communities with mighty good bread
 But it's just the way you might feel about baking cake you discuss recipes and methods with other house. wives for you feel by doing you get ideas that will make your next cake more delicious. bakers together Their ideal was perfect bread bread that would meet the demands of the most exacng and particular housewife.
 And this ideal is realized in their Master Loaf hite Rose Today in this bread you get all the of their combined skill and experience,
 Naturally enough the Six Bakers proud of such loaf: but their real pride is in the actual proof they get of its goodn, ssthat the Master Loaf served daily in more than I5OOOO homes of the most particular New England housewives.
 It's this pride that. since their first meeting several years ago. has drawn these six experienced bakers to- gether regularly every month They get together just they did then; examine loaves, test them for crust for flavor and texture and for keeping qualities.
 And once every week to see that the Master Loaf is uniform in all the bakeries oaves from each bakery are sent in to headquarters for examination by of the Six Bakers
New Britain herald., 1923-11-08

s just this enthusiasm and personal and atten tion that makes it an ideal bread The Master Loaf firm and wholesome, not fuffed up It is evenly baked
 and moist that it keeps fresh. Its crisp crust and soft white inside taste like homemade.
 You will find this Master Loaf of the Six Bakers Whtc Rose, at your grocers in the pleasant checked wrapper that looks like fresh, clean tea towel.
