his days in the field, Of the wild
bachelors are numbered.
And last, but not least, amongst
the bachelors, there appeareth upon
the horizon one that is known as
good fellow amongst the men, and
the darling Of the ladies'; yea, even
the fascinating Bill Sinek, of Chi
cago, who hath escaped in his day
more hooks than all the other fish
Of the sea. And she that would
land him must play him skilfully
and with subtlety. For past ex-
allied ruler Of the Elks is an exceed
ing wise fish.
Yet, the catch of catches, the
golden opportunity, the prize hope
Of them all, is not bachelor, but
g widoWer--even Senator Walsh of
Montana, whose name is the joy
OF the people, the delight of women,
and the terror of the oil-getters.
Go to him, my beloved, and let
thine hand be steady and they line
taut. For the heart of bachelor
is body Of caution completely
surrounded by self defenses.
Widowers HeirIOOms.
BUT the heart or a w1dower Is the
fenderest and most impressionable
thing In all the world.
Yea, verify, a bachelor is but a
remnant, and a divorce is only a

seasoned widower is treasured
heirloom.
Behold my daughter, the matri.
monial fishing at the convention is
exceeding good. For they come in
numbers by every train, the great
catches, and the little ones-and in
the eyes of each and all, there is a
"come-hither," and a catch me If

And 10, even for one that under
standeth not politics. the great con.

NEW YORK, June 25.-We are
working for q record. In Cleveland
the visitors to the Republican con-
vention were given exactly four
tickets. The convention was to last
four days, and that was all there
was to it. If no Vice President
had been nominated by the end Of
the fourth day the country would
go without.
The Democrats, on the other
hand, will take no such chances.
They have presented us with a neat
little booklet, which looks like a
collection Of brand new dollar bills,
and which contains fifteen paste
boards, good for matinees and even
ing performances.

GEM PROGRAM
IS CERTAIN To
Be SUCCESSFUL
Power Plant Appropria-
ton Will Pass Con-
gress Shortly in Ac-
ceptable Form

Power for the Gem irrigation dis
trict from the Black Canyon dam is
now definitely assured. in the opinion
OF ]. IA. Lowell. Gem district secre-
tary. who returned Sunday morning
from Washington where he spent the
past month in the interests OF the Gem
appropriation. Approved by the con-
ference committee OF the house and
senate, the Gem item now requires
only formal action by the two houses
and President Coolidges signature to
become law. This is mere routine.
Mr.. Lowell says. Early passage of
the entire interior department measure
can be expected shortly.
The eclamation fac, finding COM
mission will not bring in its report
before April |. according to Mr..
Lowell. Earlier reports from Wash
ington indicated that the report would
be forthcoming up about March IS
1t is likely, therefore. that a new bill
omitting this clause will Be introduced
in the house. If II can be passed there.
the senate will surely approve it. Mr..
Lowell thinks. but prospects for IA
vorable house action are not bright.

obtaining this measure. is the opinion

opportunity for immediate relief
l.. J. Magec. secretary of the Pay

Mr.. Lowell. He is irregular attendant

That the entire reclamation pro-
gram will be revised as result OF
the commissioner report is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Lowell Projects will
probably be classified on their general
ability to pay and arrangements for
future payments will be made on that
basis. That the entire policy will be
a liberal one seems to be the con-
census OF Washington opinion at
present.
In the meantime. DR.. Hubert Work,

Hopes for immediate relief lie in
the Phipps bill, passed by the senate
and now before a house committee of
which Addison T. Smith of Idaho is
according TO Mr.. Lowell.
This act would selieve settlers from
present payments and delinquincies
by spreading them over a period be-
ginning January |. 1925. But the sem

such postponed payments while Mr..
