Our State Legislatures
Vary Greatly in Size

As most states have their own
method for the apportionment Of
members to both houses of their
state legislature, the size of these
bodies varies greatly throughout
the country. For instance, the
number of state representatives
ranges from 35 in Delaware to 443
in New Hampshire, while the num-

Mr.. Beveridge likes to tell the story
of Laddie, a 5-year -old English set
ter, whose owner in the West Indies
sent him here for boarding. The
league does not board dogs. But
Mr.. Beveridge personally paid a sum
to release the setter from bondage,
then had the animal treated by a
veterinarian, and finally sent Laddie
to its mistress in Chicago. 'Laddie

The Rescue League moved into its

the result of the sale in 1881 of its

Each dog and cat is kept in a
separate cage. Twice a day they
are fed and allowed to romp about
an outer large cage.

Although February income pay
ments were below the January fig-

ment's index of total income pay
ments advanced as points to 2OO8,
due primarily to less-than-season-

in payments to members Of the

Nearly nine-tenths of the total
