CONGRESS PLANS VACATION
Congress has established a new rec
ord for speed in passing the supply
bills which provide funds for the vari
ous governmental department's. The
last of the eleven measures was re
ported in the House of Representativ
es Saturday and, unless unforseen ob
stacles are met, the calendars should
be cleared of this legislation before
February 15. The result of this prompt
action will be to make unnecessary a
special session of the new Congress
after March 4.
The prospect of having a 9 months
vacation makes a strong appeal to
senators and representatives of both
major parties and they have been co
operating with the leaders in expedit
fnc* tvin inn which is necessary.
Only an emergency will make it nec
essary to summon the new Congress
before December 1.
The administration forces have not
given up hopes of passing the ship
subsidy bill. A final effort will be
made fo obtain a vote on the measure
when the Senate calendar has been
cleared. For the present it has been
laid aside, until measures designed to
help the agricultural industry have
been passed. Opponents of the ship
ping bill believe that they hold the
upper hand, and if necessary will re
sort to filibustering tactics during the
last two weeks of the session. They
are determined to prevent a final vote
if possible.
Congress has been in session almost
continuously since the beginning of
(he World War. It has been a hard,
grinding service and a vast amount ol
legislation has been placed upon the
statute books. The nation almost has
forgotten how it seems without Con
gress in session and no doubt will ap
prove of the plan to have a holiday in
a few months. Congress has earned a
rest and the country is willing that it
should have it.
Perhaps when the next congress
convenes the atmosphere will have
cleared so that questions which now
seem perplexing will be settled easilj
and quickly.

There is logic in it. Who could follow
up a man's work better than the wo
man with whom he has discussed it al
home, and who may have inspired his
speeches and helped to prepare them!
This is an outcome of woman suffrage
that was hardly expected when the
suffragettes were running wild or hun
ger striking.
IT IS NEVER so bad that it might
not be worse. Up here people are com
plaining because it is winter and in
Australia it is so hot that the brush is
being set afire by the rays of the sun.

Does anyone who ever paid the tax

NOW THAT the business of making
old masters to order is said to have

make.
Seward residents are congratulating
themselves on the really excellent
weather which prevails at present. Re
ports from Seattle show that seven
teen below zero lias caused a sudden
demand for overcoats and furs. In
Seward the straw hat period is about
to commence—also B. V. D’s.
ACCORDING to a dispatch from
Washington, Senator Borah is all
ready to start something. When he is
n’t ready, then there will be a real
item of news.
THE WEATHER man acts as if he
hadn’t quite decided whether to give
us our first trilliums of the season or
another flurry of snow.

VOLSTEAD SIGN ERECTED BY
FARMER TO 8ECURE FUEL
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 14—The
story of how a fanner on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, between Harrisburg,
Penn, and Baltimore, Md., solved the
vexing problem of a way of obtaining
his coal supply, is going the rounds
in congress todayt doubly interesting
since it concerns one or the prominent
members of the House.
The farmer was unable to obtain
any coal, although he saw hundreds of
train loads a day passing his house,
which Is situated at a curve In the
line. He shiveringly watched trains
go by until an idea struck him.
The first step in the program was to
put up a huge sign, which could be
seen by all passing trains, particular
ly as they had to slow down in passing
the curve. On this sign he painted the
words: "Hurrah, for Volstead!”
Tne result was miraculous. Every
passing trainman lifted a chunk of
coal out of the car on which he hap
pened to be riding and heaved it at
the sign.
Up l o date the sign has netted eight
! and a half tons of coal, which is the
farmer’s entire winter supply.
WIFE CANNOT GIVE AWAY TO
COPS, HUBBY HAS HOOTCH
SPOKANE, Feb. 14—Judge Oswald,
in the superior court yesterday, ruled
out as evidence. Intoxicating liquor
seized in a raid on the home of A1
Champagne on ihe ground that Cham
pagne’s constitutional rights were vio
lated when his wife tipped the police
off over the phone to the presence of
liquor in their home.

STEELE, Prussia, Feb. 14.—A Ger

two French soldiers. Her tresses
were snipped off as she was leaving a

POXY BOOTLEGGER PALL8
INTO PROHIBITIO
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 14.—Prohi
bition agents tried and tried to catch
the man who was selling liquor in
August Erickson’s place, but the pro
prietor was too foxy for them.
You paid your money at the bar
and went into a little back room. A
hand presently came through a hole in
the wall and served you with your li
quor, so prohibition agents say. Then
the man who drank could never tell
whether the man who gave him the li
quor was the same as the man he
paid the money to.
Finally, J. F. Roy. a prohibition
agent bethought himself of a scheme
to catch the bootlegger.
When the hand came through the
wall he snapped a handcuff on the
wrist.
Then he went around behind the
partition and found August Erickson
struggling with the handcuff. He was
the man who had previously accepted
the money for the drink.
He was indicted and found guilty.
