Haugen Asks Substitution of
Adopted Measure for One
Before Lower Branch.
AMENDMENTS, HOWEVER,
WOULD SEND 1T BACK
insufficient Time Believed Left for
Upper Body's Concurrence.
Veto Bogey in 0fjng.

Plans for expediting the final pas
sage of the McNary- -Haugen farm re-
lief bill through the House are being
laid today.
Chairman Haugen Of the committee
on agriculture has appealed to the
committee on rules for a special rule
permitting the substitution of the bill
which passed the Senate yesterday for
the House bill now pending.
Chairman Smell of the rules com.
mittee said today that he saw no rea-
son at this time why such rule should
not be granted.
The purpose of substituting the
Senate bill for the House bill iB
merely to make the legislative ma
chinery run more easily. If the House
amend it then the bill will go imme-
diately to the White House for the
Presidents approval.
If, on the other hand, the House
passes it's own bill it would then have
to go to the Senate for action.
Senate Bill Favored.
Representatives of farm organiza-
tions which have strongly backed the
McNary- -Haugen bill today expressed
the opinion that the Senate bill should
be passed by the House without
amendment. Chairman Haugen said
careful consideration would be given
to the amendments adopted by the
Senate yesterday and if it seemed ad
visable the friends Of the farm relief
bill in the House would seek to pass
the bill without further change.
Personally, Mr.. Haugen said, he
would prefer to see the bill amended
so as to make 1t optional with the
President whether or not he would be
guided by the lists submitted to him
by the nominating committees in max.
ing appointments to the proposed Fed.
eral Farm Board. The Senate bill
makes it obligatory upon the Presi-
dent to make his appointments from
those lists.
Such a provision has been bitterly
attacked as invasion Of the rights of
the Chief Executive. Mr.. Haugen
also would prefer to see included in
the bill the declarations of policy
which he has inserted in the bill as il
now stands before the House.
A Senate amendment offered by
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
providing for State conventions where
less than so per cent of the producers
OF one OF the basic crops are members
OF the cooperative organization, to
determine whether the equalization
fee shall be applied, Mr.. Haugen
considers merely setting up another

Debate May End Today.

General debate on the farm relief
bill may be concluded today. In that
event a special rule substituting the
Senate bill may be brought into the
House on Monday before the bill is
taken up under the f1ve-ninute rule
for amendment. Mr.. Haugen looks
for final vote in the House by
Wednesday or Thursday He believes
that the bill will pass with a margin
of from 40 to so votes.
Should the House fail to pass the
Senate bill in unamended form. it may
be necessary to send the measure to
conference. With only two weeks Of
the present session remaining after
the passage of the bill for the House,
such a course might endanger final
action on the bill by Congress. A
filibuster in the Senate might prevent
a vote on the conference report. On
the other hand, if the conference were
submitted to the Senate while any OF
the appropriation bills were still un-
finished. supporters OF the farm bill
would he in position to threaten to
defeat the appropriation bill or bills il
a vote was not permitted on the farm
bill.
Leadel in both branches of Con-
gress are strongly opposed to a spe.
cial session of the next Congress this
Spring. The failure of any of the an q.
nual appropriation bills would necessi-
tate such special session.
Proponents of the legislation are
being caused no little worry by the
as to whether President
Coolidge will sign the bill. IL he
vetOes it. they see the measure killed
as far as this session is concerned, be-
cause of the apparent impossibility
of mastering In either house the two
thirds majority needed to override a
veto.
Support Is Non-Partisan.
Passage Of the bill by the Senate
came late yesterday, after many
had been added and
others rejected. The vote was AZ to
80. A similar measure failed In the
Senate eight months ago by 45-to-39
vote. Twenty-four Republicans, %

Authorities believe young Bruno
was murdered in an automobile and
his body thrown into the woods
where 1t was found. The skull was
fractured and six bullet holes were
in the body.
Bruno said he last saw his son Dec.

The money was found on the body.
Young Bruno had served sentences
at the Indiana Reformatory and was
under indictment in Howard County
charged with contributing to delin-
quency.
South Bend authorities believed be-

other man who might have been
killed in a liquor war.

It wasn't long till they were there.
The crispness Of the witrer air made
everything seem right in trim for
skating on the ice. Wee Carpy was
the first to try his luck, and soon he
shouted, IT have never seen finer
rink. This sure is mighty nice"
Course Clowny soon began to brag
how he could skate. Say, let's play
tag" said Scouty. as he slapped
some one and shouted, You are IT,"
The chase was on and off they went.

Across the ice like watts of wind rhe
little band would fit.
When of their tag game they grew
tired, another bunch was soon in
spised, as Carpy skated backwards,
doing tricks and other things. "Oh,
say" they all heard some one call,
Let's see who is the best Of all at
skating in a figure eight or making
fancy rings"
Then Clowny shouted, Just watch
me a moment, and you all will see
the neatest little skater who has ever
come to town" He then went whirl-
ing round the ice, but found his
plan was not so nice. The next thing
that he knew, he slipped, and soon
was sitting down.

MIR. Allen S case:

Homer Allen of 1904 Ludlow Ave,
this city, is one of the many who
have procured good health once
more through the Husky treatment.
Telling of his case, Mr.. Allen says:
MY stomach was affected with a
catarrhal condition, gas would form
and crowd my heart. 1 suffered from
shortness Of breath, dizziness and
poor appetite. l was nervous and
generally run down.
After taking Husky I can eat al
most anything I want to without dis
tress. I have bought three more
bottles IN an effort to secure perma-
nent relief, believing that Husky is
the only medicine that can do this.
II am recommending Husky to all
my friends. A medicine that will re-
lieve me as Husky has done is GER
tainly a friend to mankind"
If you are suffering from any Of
these troubles Of the stomach. liver,
kidneys or bowels, Husky will re-
lieve you. This remedy only requires
fair trial. Husky is available at
all Haag stores and at other reliable
drug stores.

daily sayings of John and Esther.
One Saturday afternoon the foreman notified the
men that some changes in the machinery were to
be made the following week and therefore the mill
would be down until further notice.
Three weeks passed before this much-looked-for
notice posted at the gate.
Great was the surprise that awaited the men on
their return to the mill New and much larger
rolls were in operation. The table was five feet
wider than it used to be- A new large shears stood

The amazed workers could not believe their eyes.
Could not see how this possible. Just by chang

twelve men to produce twice much fifty could
turn out before.

John, "don't you remember l worked during the

On their way home John and his pals met Andy,
who since the strike had been black-balled in the
mill and wel-Snown Red.
"What's wrong now? Won't the company let
willing slaves like you guys work for it any more? ?"
asked Andy in a hooking manner. "It's the machin-
cry, that cursed machinery that has thrown us
out of job. I don't know what the world is conf
ing to-" was Johns crying reply.
Things are only pursuing their natural course"
retorted Andy. machinery will ultimately throw
millions of people out of work. Unemployment and
hunger will fan the flaming fires of revolt and will
finally send capitalism TO the scrap heap. Machin-

the benefit of workers. instead of to dis
