Vice President Garner will bet

other guess coming.
All sorts of stratagems have

Tom Marshall once put it on a
historic occasion, sine Dec.
IT'S A GAME NOW
1t has become a game. But
though the V. P. has guessed, and
lacked his guess with his cash,
both are sealed in an evelope and
will not be seen until the day of
adjournment.
Altogether Cactus Jack" has
made two straight bets and a
series bet" on adjournment.
With one newspaperman he bet
dollar for each 10 days, begin.

20, So all told, settlement to be
made when Congress quits. He
has already won the first 81 for
May and May 10, and seems
certain to win at least two more
with a possibility that the news
writer may get a do!lor or two
rebate at the end, if Congress ad
journs during the first or second
week of June.
Another newspaper man offered
the Vice President two-to-one the
latter couldn't come within three
days of adjournment date.
'No, you don't!" the Vice
president countered. But I'll
reverse that bet. I'll give you
two-to-one you can't come that
