in desert. How she is doing the job without
any previous experience in ranching. Then you'd
be ashamed Of your Whitney willy-nilly ways.
When Mr. Arentz died several years ago, he
left five lively children and ranch Of uncertain
value. Congressman Arentz had been so busy
looking after his political fences that most of his
ranch fences had tumbled down. Mrs Arentz
had been president general of the Children of the
American Revolution. Their ranch had never
been practical farm. Merely a place to go in
the summer. Likewise place in which to sink
money.
The widowed Mrs. Arentz decided to make the
ranch into home for herself and her children and
to make it pay.
Well, If you've never seen this sage brush coun-
try, these miles and miles and thousands Of miles
of it, you can't imagine what job that was for an
inexperienced woman to tackle.
There's never sprig of green out here that
hasn't been planted by the hands Of manor
woman. Just mountains rolling and tumbling
across the skyline like the waves Of great ocean.

Even with cooperative Congress, according
to the back-stage talk, Roosevelt'S New Deal pro-

the three and half years left of his term of
office. If good start Is made however he
could retire with feeling that the New Deal,
overwhelmingly endorsed by the people, had

day that President Roosevelt may
veto the airport enlargement bill.
Asked if the bureau would op-

there is not any more land near

Sage brush is tough, vicious plant. It's roots
probably begin in China. Human hands can't
dislodge them. No genteel wedding such as you
and I, lady gardeners, boast prettily about will
touch the wicked stuff.
So when Harriet Arentz and her family drove
me out to the ranch, kept wondering as the
miles went by and the hot and brown desert
stretched out beside the road, where can the
ranch be and what will it be like when we ever
do reach it.
Suddenly at turn in the road we stopped be-
fore green oasis. Around white painted fence,
poplar trees grew tall and strong. The grass be-
meath was as green as the grass of Ireland Be

happily. In garden enclosure flower beds bios

The trickling water was in the irrigation bitches

The next morning after a blissful nights sleep

Good Party Boys
That's the reason they are particularly bitter
over what is now taking place. They can't agree
with Boss Joe Guffey as to who are the party
ingrateS. They nominated Jimmy Cox in 1920
and he feels honored until this day. They nomi-
mated John w. Davis four years later and he took
it as high honor, knowing he couldn't win. But
he was the nominee of a great party. They can't

Then in 1882 they gave the highest honor at

considered crackerjack. But they don't know
what kind Of loyalty it is for him to turn on them
and seek to wreck the party which honored him.
He is the leader Of the party, but not the whole
party. They are all supposed to be members of it,
to contribute to its policies to help shape it up.
They are glad Boss Guffey was selected to purge
them, though. It helps them a lot.

Department announced it had not

Congress made available $780,

rivers and harbors work through
out the country. This included an
item Of $1,650,000 over an eight
year period for the local program,
but specified the District must put
up $389,00O as its share Of the
cost.

of the Commissioners for the ap-

The War Department some time
ago declined to begin the local
work until the District had PIT up

promised action of the Budget Blu

decided. The decision rests with

rICKES, HAzEN
MAP new WAR
ON ABATTOIR
Letters Show Plan
For New Fight

Further attempts to block con-
struction of an abattoir in Ben
ming were revealed today with the
release of correspondence between
Public Works Administrator Har-
old L. Ickes and District Commits
sioner Melvin G. Hazen.
AS a result, it appears that a
conference will be held in the i'm
mediate future between represent
at!ves of the PWA and the
District Government to determine
a plan of procedure.
HAZEN PLEDGES FIGHT
Answering a letter from Mr..
Ickes in which it was pointed out
that the construction Of an abat-
toir would overtax the Districts
new 100000 sewage disposal
system, Mr.. Hazen said:
st am thoroughly in accord
with your views that everything
possible should be done to pre-
vent the installation Of the pro-
posed abattoir and the atten-
dant increased activities Of the
existing Union Stockyards, and
such steps to attain this end as
appear feasible will be under
taken by the Commissioners"
SERIOUS NUISANCE
In reply to this letter, Admin
istrator Ickes called the Commits
sioners' attention to the amount
Of waste that would be released
from the proposed abattoir.
Mr.. Ickes, who has long been
an opponent Of the plan to build
the slaughterhouse, said that
study Of the plans "discloses that
the plant would be a serious null
sance from many points Of view."

Congress this fall" said Secretary of Agricul-

ference yesterday with the President.
Representative John E. Miller, Arkansas
Democrat, was even more emphatic as he
emerged from a White House conference.
He frankly predicted that the President would
call special congressional session to consider
wage and hour legislation, Government reor-
ganization, farm and crop control measures
and other New Deal promises of the last cam
paign.
