The fact that tne new Catholie

to permit ita being used for religious
aervicea. as it will be on Sundav next is
a matter of congratulation for tbeconv

Ignores Lafferty
Washington. Dec. 14. Congressman
Hawlev today recommended the re
appointment of Frank Davev as recei
ver of the Burns Land Office.
This action ia taken as an indication
of the Administration's ignoring
Laffertv's recommendations of candi
dates for important places in bia own
district, as it ia known Hawlev would
make no independent recommenda
tion for a place in Laffertv's district
unless be was requested to do so ty
the Administration.
