Whereupon a fellow member said: "I congratulate the state of Nebraska." (Meaning, of course, that the "greatest liying poet" was Howard himself.): A great deal is being said in and out of congress Along the line indicated by the speech of Representative Howard, by members of Howard's party (for he is a Democrat), and by those of other political affiliations . . : And late primary election returns from several stites indicate that the public mind of this country is disturbed over the situation . " Leaving one to wonder if President Coolidge can afford, for his political future, to continue to carry the load he is carrying in the persons of several members of hiscabinet. i Mia Of" It is said that there are 50 blocks that ought to be paved this year in Salem , In addition to the 100 blocks on the program; the 100 that can be finished by the present equipment working an eight hour shift. The owners of the extra 50 blocks have petitioned or are anxious to petition for the paving. They will pay the cost of the paving, less that of the intersections, which is borne by the city; or general bonds issued against the amount of their cost. So it becomes a matter of preference. The owners of the last 50 blocks are. as much entitled to have their paving done J this year by the? City paving plant as are the owners of the 100 blocks on the program for this year. only difficulty -seems to be the possibility that the city might get beyond its ability to pay the interest on the bonds that would fee issued to pay for the paving of the inter secions of the extra 50 blocks. Some way out of this ought to be found. Ways ought to be found to pave all the streets the abutt ' ; ing property holders want paved, and are willing to pay for And not to wait another year, which might mean two years, or indefinitely. 1 .V The writer has been voicing the wish that a paved high . way may be built over the Cascades by way of the Minto pass toronnect the great central Willamette valley with the great central Oregon country by the shortest feasible route. Well, the Hogg pass, then. But the first thing should be an extension of the new highway from Detroit to Niagara to the Breitenbush hot springs. That would give Salem an added attraction for tourists. The Breitenbush hot springs are among the greatest of natural wonders. Clackamas county is moving for a paved highway to the Wilhoit springs. That would give Salem easy access to that health resort. We cannot get too many attractions for the tourist harvest that r comes and will come in greater abundance each year. 'THE DYNAST OF THE FAT In the biographical sketch in the Congressional Directory of Edgar Howard, who represents the Third Nebraska dis trict in the lower branch of our national law making body, appears the following statement : "Admitted to the bar in 1885; held offices of probate judge, member of the Nebraska legislature and lieutenant governor of Nebraska, holding contemporaneously THE HIGHER OFFICE of editor of a country newspaper, and still in that estate; married at lawful age to Elizabeth Paisley Burtch, a native Nebraska girl ; still married." That is certainly complimentary to the estate of a coun try editor But the principal object of printing the above lines is to give a background to the following paragraphs of a speech of Mr. Howard in the house on June 2, and printed in the Con gressional Record of that date : Seriously, my friends, do you know the present situation is dan gerous? First let me tell you I am an optimist always and never a pessimist; but I am afraid. I view the situation apprehensively. "We have one vast interest in control of our government. There is no use to deny it. We are doing the best we can as individualabut we appear to be handicapped by that vast interest which is more power ful than we. I designate that Interest fairly, my friends, under the designation of the Morgan-Mellon group of international bankers. we taiK a gooa aeai about Mussolini over tnc sea. Do not you know that our American Mussolini is far more powerful than Benito over the sea? Andy rules here more absolutely than Benito over in Italy. What is going to be the end of it all, my friends? I want to tell you earnestly some words spoken not long ago by the greatest living - poet In the world. He had been talking about "this invisible govern ment about which we have been talking here, and he personified it under the name of tlie Dynast of the Fat. He Led been talking about that great monarch, and he had been telling about him in a manner which you may regard in one light and I in another. Now, mind you, t X told you that I am an optimist; I am never a pessimist. It does not matter to me yes; it does matter to me; yet still I shall say that no matter what may happen in this country of ours I am a believer in the :gbod horse sense of the American people; and although disorder may come, I am a believer in the gospel that the good horse sense of the American people will quickly bring order out of any chaotic situation which may arise. " a. I But let me tell you.abbnt what thfe .wonderful poet said not long V ago when he personally addressed this Dynast of jthe Fat. I want to quote him accurately, because somebody, may ask me about the lines of this wonderful poet, whom 1 designate as the greatest of living poets. I read? -' d , I - ' , v-t ... v .. V""- !

And more of it promised For the cherries and berries and the pickers. Cool and pleasant. . The board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. had its first regular meeting in the new building yes terday. The swimming pool will not be finished for a few weeks. In the meantime, plans are being made for a big membership drive. If this can be put over as planned, and all the rooms kept rented, the amount of funds asked for on gen eral subscriptions will not be as large as in the old building, though the budget will be more than tiwee as large. It will be about $25,000 a year. a Gordon E. Tower, orchardist of the cottage (Asylum) farm is al ready picking ripe peaches from the Mayflower trees there as fine as any country can produce. The trees are only four years old. Is this not a suggestion for the gen eral growing of an early peach here for the market? It is worth looking into, by our growers. "W Statesman advertiser says he has 285 feet of parking space near his store. That ought to be an in ducement; would accommodate something like 4 0 automobiles. S V "a F. A. Legge has a lot of Bing.

Phone 904-.I No doubt he will get all his cherries picked on this proposi tion. V "a A Lake Labish grower says the old mint patches down that way look fine, though some of the new plantings did not make as good stands as they might. He says he has heard from the big Michigan mint districts., and the growers there were not expecting more than half a crop, owing to untime ly freezing weather in the spring. That sounds good for fair prices again this year for peppermint oil, if not boom prices like last year. The same man says every thing else in the 'lake" district is all right, including clover seed. a big crop down mat way. inc Lake Labish lettuce growers have already shipped out more cars than they expected for the whole season; something like zu. includ ing local demand. And fine let tuce, too. visitor, told John "yes." "How socn shall 1 drive by fcr you?" was his answering question. "In about half an hour." She would like to have said five min utes. "Very well, you may expect me." Eve put up the receiver with de cision. "You'll have to rush through, Madeline. Mr. Ingate.is coming by to take me to his house to do some work." In brer code a half truth was the same as a lie, but her conscience never-hurt her when she lied to a person like Madeline. "All right." But as Eve went hurriedly about clearing away the dishes, Madeline gave no evidence of "rushing, continuing to eat in her languid, pseudo-mannered way, with the re sult that Eve's annoyance began ic show. She grabbed all of the furnishings off the table except Madeline's plate and fork, piled' them in the sink in the kitchen ette and began pulling in the dressing table'that wo3 'concealed by the folding bed, for her best dress, the evening gown she had obtained in Chicago on her honey moon. It came to light full of wrinkles. "You'll have to let me have the table. Madeline. I must press this dress." The visitor got up without giv ing an indication of any intention to carry the remaining plate to the kitchenette and surveyed her cousin as she fumbled with her hair. "Gee, you re going to get all dressed up to go to the boss house." Eve did not trouble to reply, but cleared the table spread over it a sheet from the linen closet - at' hand and connected the electric iron. 4 "Maybe he'd drop me off at home," Madiline suggested. "Of course not! He doesn't know you and his car isn't a taxi cab. Please run on, Madaline; I have so much to do." She no longer tried to be patient. The visitor put on her coat leis urly, spending more than one min ute before the mirror in the bath room dabbing her nose. "Weil, toy to, "and I would if I wfcro you! she called out. f pont be silly Madaline.' ' "Well, goodbye. Hare a good time." From the door the blonde threw a kiss. "Don't take any wooden nickles or kisses." Her chuckle could be heard as the doof closed behind her. Eve turned off the iron, slipped out of the housedress, grabbed new underclothing fro mthe con cealed dresser and dashed into the bath room. When the bell rang fifteen minutes later she was al filost ready. She was not satisfied with the effect her gown made and stood stdying it critically, perched upon a chair, for an awk ward minute. It looked rather used and dowdy. The pressing had not helped much. But it was the best she had. She shrug ged. No use, anyway, try ing to make Mrs Ingate and Josephine think she wore expensive clothing. To her surprise John turned the car into Washington street in stead of toward his 'home, but she did not speak, thinking that he had a mission to perform downtown. But when he passed through the business district in Main Street and on into Broad way a frown wrinkled her brow. The country club? She didn't want to go there. What would she look like? And besides, it would be embarrassing to be seen In public with John Ingate now. Besides, how could she explain to Clay? "I've certainly missed having someone across the diner table from me," he remarked after a while. - "Have your mother and sister gone away?" "Oh, no, I'm down at the club. I thought I mentioned it told you to have joe called there if anything came up." "I didn't know ," The turn of her thought cut short what she was going to say. Then they weren't going, to Ingate house! Where was he, taking her? . . Oh, she mustn't be seen in a public place with him. . . . "Where' are we going?" "Lone Pine Inn. . . I er, didn't think you would wish to be seen with such an iniquitous creature as myself in one of the downtown places. It's quite Jolly out at the inn. . . I wish Clay could have come with us." (Of course he didn't wish that.) What to do! How was she to extract herself from this dilem ma? Not that she felt she was doing something wrong. No, peo ple would misunderstand. And how could she ever explain to Clay? Oh! The idea of asking him to take her back, of pleading illness, surged forward. . . No, she couldn't doit. . . Lone Pine Inn was far out and no one she knew woul dsee them. She tried to take comfort in the thought. . . The car stopped under a blazing sign: "Pine Tree Inn romantic rendezvous of tired business men." Many women, but no wives. hesitated. This vas no-Diacftito :be seen, and especially with John In gate now. Shouldn't she turn back? Bnt again her nerre fail ed her. She couldn't hurt him. He would be carefuL . . She got out and went in on his arm. They took a table in a shaded corner, and this,- la Eye's mind, only made matters worse, al though be knew John Ingate had chosen it to save her from curious eyes. . . Oh, why had she come anyway!. . . . The next half hour was a nightmare, and she concealed her discomfort 'with pleasure. Perhaps John sensed her state of mind; anyway, when their din ner was only half served, and he saw her color, he suggested: "I'm afraid you aren't feeling very well." "I'm not!" She tried to smile. "Perhaps we'd beter go." "Please." It escaped her in a gush of relief. She was conscious of eyes as they made their way to the door. There a really startling surprise awaited her. John was at the checkroom, getting his coat and hat, and she was alone at the door, when Clay walked in and with a young woman! (To be continued.) What happens when Eve anl Clay see each other alone? eRad the next instalment.

Conservation of the public wa ter supply is one of the foremost tasks confronting the Industry, said Harry F. Huy of Buffalo, president of the association. "Hardly any city has access to an ineixnausuDie waier source, and a great many cities are faced every year with a water shortage that annually becomes more seri ous." ihe declared. v'Discovery and usage of new water supplies are important, but most of these supplies now seem to be in use.

Governor's Conference to Have Woman as Hostess CHEYENNE, Wyo. A slender, dignified woman, wearing widow's weeds, will be hostess to the gov ernors of the several American states when they assemble here July 26 for the annual governors conference. Wyoming was chosen for the 1926 conference as a tribute to the nation's first woman state ex ecutive Nellie Taylor Ross. The experiment of the woman fn politics has received an important test in Wyoming's woman govern or. Mrs. tfoss, the mother of three sons, was thrust suddenly into public affairs when her husband, Governor William Bradford Ross, died in office. She was nominated by an emergency democratic statr. convention and elected to complete" her husband's unexpired term. fhe male governors may find her an interesting study of how a woman runs the "house of state" in Wyoming's political experiment. New Type of Women in j Spain to Seek Rights MADRID. Nobility of birth and character is wide-spread mong the women of Spain, but notability is scarce. There is, haowever, a class of women coming to thej front who are likely to be heard! about on account of their achievements. Onei of these new women of re- nasfceht Spain who has, in spite of her, youth and humble origin, ac quired nation-wide Tame is Clara Carrqpoamor, the woman lawyer.

Kan. Dr. F. C. Allen, director of physical educa tion at the University of Kansas, has coached 17 basketball quintets to championships in the last 19 seasons. Originator of the five- man "zone" defense, the Kansas coach has developed undisputed basketball champions of the Mis souri valley for four consecutive seasons, and five years ago his team tied for first place in the valley. Under the zone system each player has a zone of 14 feet to guard. If an opposing player reaks through the defense, the nearest guard covers him while a forward occupies the vacant guard position. Hie offensive game con sists of short passes, pivots and accurate short shots. The Kansas coach usually keeps the largest squad in the valley at work dur- ng the season.
