W Hobson & Sen CHANGE INAUGURATION. The American Bar asKociition, re- cently In session, unanimously adopt ed a resolution favoring the change !of the date of inauguration of presi dent of the United State. The mat I tor f i itti been seriously discussed in fniany places in the country, and a resolution to bring about the change was offered in the present congress It was acted favorably upon by one branch of congress, but got no fur ther. That there will be a change. either In the Inauguration or In the assembly and at no late day Is sure The situation as it now exi.ita Is not conducive to the best Interests of the country. The arrangement allows for the functioning of a congress which Is often largely composed of men who have been defeated at the polls The "short session" Is never of great value, and chiefly for this reason. It has been suggested that the president who has been elected in ISovem,,pr ,,e placed in charge of af- lairs me Illiru .woouay m jnuumy Thia would appear to be giving ev erybody ample time to make ar rangements for the change in ad ministration. That the new con gress should convene the first Mon day in January Is a:so urged, and with apparent wisdom. There are many reasons to be brought for ward ugainst the practice of having congress remain away from Wash ington and out of the halls of delib eration until more than a year has passed after their selection as law makers. The way things now work leaves a congressman elected in November, 1K2I, until December, 1925. without any official capacity. Affairs could go to the dogs in the interim, and unless an extra session was called, the representatives fo states and dis tricts would be powerless to inter fere. They are, so to speak, officials without office, for a year. Some have suggested that the date for inaugurating the president could be continued as March 4, and that congress could be required by law to meet also on that date the new congress; and this would be pos sible, it is said, without a change in the constitution. Hut that would probably be inadvisable. That the president should have a little time before the regular assembly of con gress, in which to study conditions and prospects, Feenis reasonable. But ten months is assuredly too long a time for such preliminary observa tions. All modern institutions keep up to date. A man elected to the presi dency is qualified to assume the important position very soon after the election or should be. It is so with those selected to represent the states in congress; and the coun try would be glad to have a read justment of dates for formal taking up of responsibilities. :o: EASE UP A BIT You feel all taut, trembly, a bit snappy, and decidedly out or tune with yourself, the world and hu manity. Lots of folks get that way now and then. It may be the hot weather. It may be worry. It may be overwork, or it may be just gen eral inefficiency in planning your working program. Hut always it is a danger sign. Ease up! That doesn't mean go to sleep. take a month's vacation, slack off, or gold brick around for a couple of months. It simply means to go right ahead tending to business but to consciously ease up the tension a bit. If you have any mental control of yourself at all it is reasonable to do. About the time you want to snap somebody's head off when they ask you a perfectly civil question just get yourself in hand, relax, let your mind ami body and entire conscious ness just slacken up about 50 per cent, breathe two or three good deep breathes, take a good slow, soul cleaning smile and be your natural, self-possessed self again. Then in the even i eg take a "star bath." No, that is not a new tan gled panacea for hay fever, whoop ing cough, measles, sore toe or dis temper it is just a mental balance in which to weigh your own per sonal importance against the Eter nal Progress and Plan of God, His Universe and the measly little world in which you live, have your sput terings and then pass on to give room for others. Throw yourself full length in the grass, roll on your back and relax until every finger point and muscle of your entire body is jujst as resistless as a jelly fish, and then gaae into the starry heavens those vast unknown eternities with out limit or confines. Examine your self. Know yourself your limita tions, poor, petty insignificance and your vast possibilities. In short, just take time to ease up a bit, get yourself in hand, take up the gTand old game of living and go on, confident in the Eternal Fit-j ness of all things, that God is in Hia he.-ivecs, and all is Tight with the world, and you will not only get more out of lirlnff tor yourself, but you will put more Into the lives of inoHe around you your iamny, your friends and business associates. :o: it iTiiynf-f.it f......T.I. .TT..rT..T. .T T .T :!: FARM BUREAU NOTES Copy for this Department furni&hed by County Agent fr'I,,I,,f-l"i' Home Care of Sick The Husy Bee club of Eight Mile Grove precinct are now taking up "Home Care of the Sick." and the fourth meeting Including "Personal Hygiene" was held at Mrs. Ernest Ahls, on July 16th.
