TO MONEY IN HAYSTACK


Waiter Wynhoff Of Keller recently
delivered load of hay to Rem Murton
of Wilbur. After unloading the hay
Wynhoff noticed that he had lost three

he had lost it en- route to the Murton
farm.
Murton dreamed that night that
he found the roll of bills and that the
outside $40 was yellow with age, and
next morning, acting on bunch, he
pokel around in the nay according To
the manner of his dream. There was
the roll with the yellowed bill ca tho
outside.

THERE comes time in every man S

is then that the man who is moved
by a deep, underlying faith finds
strength to go on, to overcome the
obstacles that stand between him and
the fulfllment of his destiny.
l, too, have had my hours of dis
enlargement and not only during
the years when, like all other youth
full singers, was straining for recog-
milton. In my boyhood, during the
years that my native Belgium was
under German occupation, l worked
in coal mine at Charleroi, near my

ported to Germany.

BUDGET DIRECTOR MISTAKEN

James O'Sullivan, Columbia basin
commission secretary, said;
Budget Director Daniel Bell ap-
parently has miseonstrued the amend
ment to the interior supply bill of last
June in which it was stated that no
obligations in excess Of $63,OOO,O0O
should be incurred for the Grand Cou-
lee dam, unless specifically granted by
congress.
!, me $7.s0o,ooo will just complete
the $63,OO0,O00. However. without
additional funds no work can be done
on the dam beyond December. 1887.
The limiting clause was intended to
prevent any further ALLEGATION to the
Coulee project of PWA or emergency
relief administration funds, according
to Mr.. O'Sullivan, and to reassert the
right Of congress to appropriate the
money 1t has no eftecJ whatsoever on
the authorization act Of August 10,
1885, authorizing completion Of the
Grand Coulee dam, he stated.
''This opinion has been held by the
solicitor of the interior department, ("
Mr. O'Sullivan said. "James Buchan-
an, chairman Of the appropriations
committee of the house, likewise in
terprets it this way. as do all legal
experts with whom I have had con-
tact. I can not understand on what
Director Bell bases his stand.''
Senator Carl M. Hayden, Arizona,
.ioor leader of the conferente COM
III ttee which drafted the $63,O00,O00
ar::endment, made the following state
nient in congress, Mr.. O'Sullivan
oointed out:
1T is evident that this restriction
can not in any manner affect the law
authorizing construction of the prof.
ect. 1t merely provides that no money
shall be appropriated unless congress
shall make specific grant for that
purpose"

an open revolt against the Philistines.
But now Delilah, young, lovely and
