The board of control Insists that It has the stronger claim because the pentitentiary Is full to the overflow ing and there must be more accomo dations or convicts will have to be turned away.

A wife who eternally frets and nags has adequate cause. But The cause Is not what she thinks it is. Nor what her husband supposes it. Nor what the neighbors say over a cup of tea. Try the experiment of listening to the tone Instead of to the words. At tend closely to the intonations and cadences of that complaining voice. You will be startled at the suffering. True, the words are'klxmt the weath er, the maid, the car. and^the next door neighbor, but behind the screen of these complaints is hidden an inar ticulate cry for help. Something terrible is going on in that woman's soul. Her heart is sick. She is in agony. What is she trying ..not to say? Perhaps: “It is terrible! I do not love my husband! I so need to love and I can’t, ^hat shall I do? What shall I do?" Women don’t talk that way, you say? No, but their breaking hearts make a confused moaning that to the understanding listener makes traglo confession. As long as the United States state department refuses to ■ recognize Mexico as a sovereign sister state our southern neighbor affords a pleasant refuge for criminals of all kinds. Disarming Suspicion. From the Washington Star. "The dealer made you pay more than this picture Is worth,” commented the artist. “I know It,” answered Mr. Cumrox, “I'm selling him a piece of property, and I'want to convey the Impression that I am guile loss and easy.” I Heard In The Night. I heard in the night the pigeons Stirring within their nest: The wild pige«i's stir was tender Like a child’s hand at the breast.

I Tuition of Country Children la City Institutions Is Stumb ling Blook for Leg islators. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2 (Special.)— The list of bills introduced shows evidence that the principal point of interest to legislators is schools. A. lar&e percentage cover this subject in one way or another, from the Au ter. Kill to limit the salaries of state university professors and prohibiting the use in the university of textbooks written by members of the faculty to directing what shall be done with pu pils in a district that cannot muster more than five candidates for an edu cation. Only one phase of this school ques tion has so far come before the house and it evoked several hours of debate. This is how much should farmers pay the town high schools for tuition for their children. The town folks say the farmers ought to pay the ac tual cost and they figure this out by dividing the total cost by the enroll ment. The farmers say they ought not to be asked to pay any more than the additional cost of giving their » children training, saying that they ought not to be charged for a part of the janitor service, heating, teaching and superinter^dence when their com ing did not add anything to these items of expense but would have to be paid anywvay. The discussion is over whether to cut the^fee from $3 a week to $2 a week or provide for actual cost not to exceed $2.50 a week. Dixon coun ty’s representative, J. F. Kendall, is leading the fight for the latter meth od. ine nouse aims at putting a stop to^ 'the practice of city and town coun cils in ordering improvements with out a vote of the people and regardless of whether the property owners who must pay the cost by special assess ments want it or not. After consid erable debate that body ordered to a third reading a bill by Gould which prohibits any council from making such an order with reference to sew ers where 51 per cent, of the owners or agents of property affected peti tion against such work being done. This is to be’followed by other bills putting the same sort of brakes upon what was described in debate as autocratic powers arbitrarily exer cised. The house passed a bill Friday ten dering to the federal government for a hospital, the soldiers’ home near Grand Inland. The senate recommended for pass age a bill increasing the salary of the prison warden from $2,500 to $3,000 and another authorizing counties to pay a bounty of 10 cents on crows and bo cents a dozen on crow eggs.. It killed a bill lowering sheriff sal aries in the smaller counties and,1 raising them in others. i THE BLACK CROW Nebraska Senate Also Pro vides for Destruction of Eggs ■—Increase Pay of Peni tentiary Warden. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 3.—The state* senate recommended for passage the bill by Sturtevant, of Holt county,, providing an optional bounty of 10 cents a head for each black crow killed, and 50 cents a dozen for eggs of the crow. The house continued its retrench ment and economy, policy by provid ing for minimum salaries for county judges in sparsely settled communities making the amount $400 for counties of less than 2,000 population. The present salary is $800. No change is proposed for counties having over 1,000. i ■tne state senate has put Its ap-' proval on a bill to increase the salary of Warden Fenton, of the state peni tentiary, to $3,000. As originally In troduced the bill called for $3,600, but by a vote of 16 to 14 the senate de cided that $3,000 was enough In view 6t the fact that he has lodging, light, fuel and food furnished him. The salary has been $2,600 for years. The warden was overlooked when sal aries were increased two years ago. His administration of the penitentiary was warmly commended. The senate was not In session to day. although nearly half of the mem bers wanted to stay and do some committee work. fh4 senate being a smaller body works more expeditious ly than the house, where the number of orators Is always greater In pro portion. The senate now has its cal endar cleaned up to every bill save one. m The house committee have been do ing faithful work, and are piling up plenty of work for the committee of the whole. Thirty-one of 672 bills have been killed up to date. Fifteen office girls in Home who are losing their jobs because of the Fascist* government’s new policy of work for men and fireside for v men have agreed to leave their desks without rancor if the government will provgle them with firesides. WEALTHY USFmAN IS GIVEN HIS LIBERTY Des Moines, la., Feb. 3 (Special.)_ if* C.
