LEGISLATORS
MAY co HOME
Rumored That Moody Will
Submit Appropriations
Then Let Ii Go

AUSTIN, May 4.-tP-B ellie
seems to be general that this legis-
lature Is about a the end of the
row. Even Governor Moody's most
optimistic friends have little hope.
now that two weeks have passed
with the symptoms unmistakably in
dicating that the membership Is still
in the mood that characterized IL
during the special session.
Governor Moody, himself. al
though he will not admit il public
ly, is said to have decided that the
legislature is in the humor only OF
passing the appropriation bills and
going home. In fact, it is rumored
that he may decide to submit ap-
preparations this week and let IL 90
at that. Even though he should
subit them there Is some doubt II
the bills would be ready.
Senator Pollard. chairman OF the
senate finance committee. said his
side of the legislature could pass
the money bills In four days. How
ever, the greatest time Is likely TO
be consumed In free conference since
indications are the house and sem
ate will be far apart on the edn-
cational. departmental, and elec-
mosnary bills.
Also, the gasoline tax and auto
mobile registration fee bills are vet
to be disposed Of, all of which would
indicate that irrespective of any
ones keen desire to see the states
imperative business attended to
within the constitutional 10 days
of a special session a second Ses-
sion seems unavoidable.
Yet, surprises sometimes come
thick and East in the legislature as
proved by action of the house
in passing with but two dissenting
votes a penitentiary concentration

three-way split over where the

Existence Of the 2O-foot radio
active lode in Mt. Painter and Ra-

New South Wales border. has been
known for years, since Sir Douglas
Mawson and others verified its cx-
istence. It is considered here as the
largest eventual radiun supply in the

BY camel and this has been too cx-
pensive to acourage development.
When, however. the commonwealth

little more than hand out pledge

Farm Life
FunF You
Are Visitor
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

For the past several weeks have
been enjoying country life. At none
Of your summer cottages, or noun
tain cabins, or landed estates, but
on an honest-to-goodne farm in
the heart Of Missouri where the
roads are extremely muddy most Of
the time and so far as scenery goes,
every aspect pleases."
Life on a farm is lots of fun, pro-
Nded you are visitor. AS an every
day diet, I'm not sure I should like
IL.
To the average city dWeller the life
of men and women in the country
appears an alien existence. And it
is.
Four a. m. as the summer rising
hour seems a little early.
And many of the romantic
f1ctionaI scenes lack charm in
reality.
The newborn chickens like balls
of fluff, the tiny ducks darting about
after flies followed by distracted
hen mother, are entertaining to
watch, But feeding them each
morning and evening and per-
petually looking after their welfare
might not prove so delightful.
Farm Wife Works Hard
Cows at distance grazing on
green meadows have long been fit
subjects for a painters brush.
Seen at closer range in the barn
lot at milking time they lose much
of their beauty.
Hens pecking daintily at grain are
diverting spectacle for the
moment. Treating them for roup
detracts from their interest.
The labors of the farm woman
are much lighter than they used to
be. But let me assure you of this:
The town lady would collapse in a
week if she had to do half as much
work.
There is to my notion no more
admirable creature living today than
the woman on the farm, who sup
Elements her houseWork with the
care of poultry, who tends to the
milk and cream and butter, who
puts up fruit and vegetables, cul-
tivates her garden, pieces quilts and
sometimes lends hand in the field.
I recommend her to your atten-
ton if you are one of those who
believe womanhood is slipping,
Scott at Farm Aid
And may I say that the farmers
with whom I have talked family
scoffed at farm relief. Most Of them
in that neighborhood read Senator
Arthur Capper's Journal, but even
his optimistic reports fail to move
them to any shouting.
They patiently are awaiting first
aid, but plainly expect the worst
No matter what comes up the work
must go on.
It's heartening sight to watch
farmers after one has followed con-
gressional activities for several
months.
