which they think is very beautiful.
Wants to Engage in Business.
John Starky of Stirling. Colo
rado, was a visitor in Weeping
Water last week and was looking
over the city and country adjacent
to town with the end in view of lo
cating here with a second lumber
yard. He would have to hustle if he
located here for the Ringer Lumber
and Coal company are sure on their
toes when it conies to looking after
business and while they are hustlers

Has a New Dress.
The Johnson Cafe which always
bus done a good business and has
tried to meet every requirement in
the line of an up-to-date cafe, has
had the interior of the business place
treated to a new decoration, this
time the prevailing colors being
orange and black. You will not ap
preciate the effect until you go and
see the place. It sure presents a vio
lent contrast from what they had
before. It sure is neat and tasty,
and the tasty matter is continued
in every lunch or meal yau get.
Wanted Another Shot.
Just why a chicken tried to cross
the road in front of an automobile
and as to that a person, or a car
tried to beat the train to the cross
ing, is difficult to understand, but
we know why the cow crosses the
road, because it is a long road, that
has no turning. Rut some of the
people of Weeping Water are puz
zled about a woman who came down
town at the time of the special elec
tion and voted, as she wanted to, or
as she thought she wanted to. She
went home and was telling about
the exercise of the elective franchise
and when question about the way
she had voted became undecided as
to just what she had done and fear
ing she had voted wrong came back
down town and wanted her vote
back again. It was too bad but the
election board could not find her
ballot among so many. But that is
the way of the world.
Sunshine Clubs Make Money.
The Sunshine United Canning and
Garden 4-H clubs met at the home
of the local leader, Gertrude Chris
tenson. There the Garden club was
organized, with Marguerite Ayres,
president; Pearl Althouse, vice pres
ident; Lucile Christenson, secretary;
Irene Reuter, treasurer; Marvel
Skinner, state news reporter, Ger
trude Christenson, county news re
porter. Other members of the clubs
are Dorothy Klemme, Josephine
Ayres, Vesta Althouse, Amelia Chris
tenson, Clarence Christenson, Mrs.
Marie Hoffman and Mrs. Zola Hoff
man. They decidde on a baked food sale
at F. E. Dickerson's store last Fri
day night. This brought $2.85. Also
1.70 was taken In at the Alvo high
school building by selling pop corn.
These returns added to the treas
urer's list making $8.55. The mem
bers plan to try their luck again
soon, as this sum will help to pay
the fees to Club Week for the Sun
shine representatives in June. -Gertrude

Democrats Hope
to Gain Control
of Lower House
Predictions of a Political Turnover
at the November Election
Eegain 30 or 40 Seats
Washington The flat prediction
that President Hoover will face the
problem of dealing with a demo
cratic-controlled house during the
last two years of the present admin
istration was made Sunday by Rep
resentative Byrns of Tennessee.
chairman of the democratic congres
sional committee.
ine assertion was naseu upon a
political survey conducted by Byrns.
He predicted the democrats would in
crease their number in the house in
the fall elections by seventy mem
bers. With the 165 members now
they need but fifty-three additional
votes to give them a total of 218
seats in the house of 435 members.
The republicans now have a major
ity of 102, with one farmer laborite
and several vacancies.
"Not only will the democrats re
gain thirty lost seats during the
1928 elections," the Tennessean said.
"but from the, survey made we con
servatively estimate that we will
gain seventy seats, and there is an
excellent possibility of our taking
twenty more."
Basis of Democratic Hope.
Byrns declared that the "failure
of the administration's efforts to sue
cessfully carry out one major pro
ject within an entire year, the eco
nomic depression, the obvious fail
ure of the London arms conference,
and nationwide unemployment con
ditions, have created dissatisfaction
thruout the country, and the voters
will register their protest this fall."
Noting that, it was customary for
the democrats to "stage a comeback
in., off . year . elections,'.' . Chairman
Snell, of the' house rules committee,
said the democrats would regain be
tween thirtv and fortv seats. Snell
said the republicans now held ap-
proximately that number which nor
mally were in the democratic column.
However, the New Yorker added, the
democrats were due to lose some
seats now held,; and forecast that re
publican control of the house would
continue during the last two years of
the Hoover admniistration.
The democrats. Byrns said, would
gain seats largely in the northern,'
mldwestern and western states, in
addition-to those expected to be re
gained in the southern and political
border states
"New England states, particularly
Massachusetts " and Connecticut,
Pen
ennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, In-
iana, Illinois, several western states
d
and California and Washington,"
Byrns said, "undoubtedly will send
democrats to the seventy-second con
gress instead of republicans. We will
regain the seats lost in North Caro
lina, Virginia; Kentucky, and Okla
homa, and will pick up a few votes
in Missouri, Michigan, one in Utah,
and several scattered seats
Byrns added that reports being re
ceived from practically every con
gressional district indicate more
strongly disaDDointment "in the
failurA nf the nrlmlnlstrntlnn to
achieve Jta nimc " Tie added that
farmers have not received the re-
lief thev exnerted industrialists have
rifr. and
manv of the noonie are out of work
and the economic depression discour-
airoji them."

House Told
Prohibition is a
Dismal Failure
0'Connell Attacks Volesteadism From
Floor; Modification of Jones
Act Is Favored
Washington, March 24 The pro
hibition controversy broke out on
the floor of the house Tuesday with
la vigorous arraignment of Vn'lste.id-
I ism by Representative David J.
O'Connell (D.). of Brooklvn. N. Y.
O'Connell pointed to an increase
I In crime and in iTpafhe fr-m rt lnli-l
ism, to the 1.060 prohibition "shot
gun" killings revealed by the Wash
ington Herald, and to corruption in
official life as "reason enough" for
madifying prohibition.
At the same time, modification of
the Jones-Stalker "5 and 10" law
was advocated by its co-author. Rep
resentative Gale H. Stalker (R.),
Cites Increases
O'Connell said:
"The federal prohibition unit re
ports that there were 75,307 federal
arrests for violation of the prohibi
tion laws in 192S. compared with
10.548 in 1920; 261,611 distilling
apparatus were seized in 192S,
against 15.416 in 1920. and liquor
seizures totaled 32.474,234 gallons
in 1928. against 153,735 in 1920.
'The time of our police forces is
divided 25 per cent in apprehending
burglars, highwaymen, etc., and 75
per cent in the futile attempt of
hunting rum runners and bootleg
gers. Probably 1.000,000 persons are
arrested every year for drunkenness
and they include all classes of so
ciety.
'There has been no phenomenal
increase in savings since 1920. The
average annual percentage increase
in all savings deposits from 1910 to
1919 was 7.4. From 1920 to 1929.
it was 7.1 a slight decline during
the prohibition period."
Charges Failure
His conclusions were that prohi
bition has proved a failure, because:
'Its enforcement is costing mil
lions of dollars in increased tax
ation.
'It is corrupting the morals of
the people, making them lawbreak
ers. "It is an infringement upon lib
erty and freedom.
'It teaches young boys and girls
to secretly to drink liquor.
'It deprives the poor of what the
rich can obtain."
In line with the recommendations
of George W. Wickersham. head of
President Hoover's law enforcement
commission. Stalker said he favored
defining casual or minor lawbreak
ers as mentionel in this act.
Petty violators would be given a
maximum penalty of six months in
jail, without hard labor, or a fine of
$500. or both. Such modification
has been embodied in the Stobbs bill,
pending before the judiciary com
mittee.
Prepare Last Stand
Meanwhile prohibition forces pre
pared for their last stand before the
judiciary committee Wednesday.
Their "star" witness is slated to
