The car was found between and s Tuesday morning wrecked on the side of the road near the head of the bay. The car was at once turned over to Harris Harms. local garage man, for repairs. It is estimated that the repair bill will not exceed s200.
 The c. c. Taxi is Chevrolet sedan which has been in use but a few months. The car is amply insured and it is unlikely that the insurance company will have any difficulty in establishing the identity of the per son who is responsible for wrecking the car.

BATTLE LOOMS OVER
 FARM RELIEF BILL

WASHINGToN- With Congress reassembling next Monday, skirmish lines are being extended by opposite forces in the farm relief contest and are pointing to clash between those senators who want the farm relief bill considered during the three months of present Congress and those who insist on putting the matter over till a special session. promised by Mir. Hoover.
 Senator Arthur Capper opened the battle with a statement that the farmers are not in condition to wait longer for remedial law. An exra session in the spring will not pre- vent the farmers from losing money on crops, he declared. His opponents are just as vigorous in calling for de- lay. Senator Borah, who wishes to obtain early ratification of the Kel- logg-Briand anti-war pact, and oth- CTS desire a later consideration of farm relief, because they deem it such a complex issue as to require the full attention of Congress.
 President Coolidge is not expected to suggest which course is to be fol- lowed. He has helped clear Congress sional decks for action by taking upon his own shoulders the burden of reopening the world court ques- tion. This probably will automati- cally obviate consideration of legis- lation, which had the same purpose in view. President Coolidge's decision with respect to the world court has met with glad approval in Europe.
