Well, It makes one realize more than ever that Christmas is Just around the corner, and for those at the capitol, that Christmas means another legislature imme diately afterwards. And sickness ha al.so made ita mark. Quite a number of employes as well as several state officials, are absent be cause of colds. After three weeks of serious illness, Dr. E. E. Lindsay was able to Ie at his office for short intervals, while E. E. Hobbs, state printer, wu reported on the sick list. Charles Pray haa Jim Stewart backed oft the map in ketch traits. Charlie was invited to lunch yesterday, and in order to show his appreciation he thought he better bring something. So af ter consideration he decided to bring all his captains and office force to lunch. Gosh, what a blow. Legislative job seekers ap pear at the capitol every day and it looks now as though there will be 20 applicants for every job, mostly young worn- vn. It will be a problem for the legislators and those who have probably something to cay about one or two jobs. Unfortunately all of them can't be put to work.

The tax commission's only problem then would be to find oat who to tax and how much. The one suggest ing it estimated an average of flv gallons of beer a month for each family. Bat who knows, and how would they find oat? On the other hand it looks like the women will have to save the nation. Slender women were issued a challenge In news dispatches yesterday. An east ern authoress stated that if ev ery woman would increase her weight 10 pounds In six months, the farm problem would be solved. And here they have al ways been figuring out how they could lose 10 pounds more in six months. And to add to the sick list, Brig, adler General Thomas E. RIlea is ill at home with the influensa.
