In times past it has taken from nine months to more than a year to write new tariff laws, but republican lead ers are agreed that only a small pro portion of the items will need to be changed now and are emphatic in correcting the impression that a widespread general revision is con templated. On this basis Chairman Hawley, of the ways and means committer, believed he will have a new bill ready by the middle of April. Some democrats, however, have warned against haste in preparation of the measure, declaring it would lead to unscientific law.

The right of Judge Augustus J. McCloskey of , San Antonio to a certificate of election as congressman from the Fourteenth Texas district was in doubt again, to day, when .ah alleged error in the Guadalupe oounty returns was found. On the face of the latest correct re turns, if they are adopted, Congress man Harry Wurzbach ' of Seguin would be elected '. by ninety-eight votes, it was said. ' Discovery of1 the mistake was stat ed '-to have been reported to the Texas election commissioners by County Judge J. B. Williams of Guad alupe county; It was stated that in certifying his figures the judge had transposed the votes, which probably should have been: Wurzbach, 2,806; McCloskey, 2.081: The difference, 725 votes, was said to be well more than enough to wipe out the 627 vote victory previously accorded Mc Closkey. It doesn't make it any easier to be told that it is good for us to get back to coarse common food after a diet of richness and daintiness thru the holidays. If anything, it makes it harder. ,One of the best things about letting go all holts and gorg ing ourselves through the festive sea son is the knowledge that it prob- lably isn't very good for us. WEEPING WATER Herman Luetchens, living north west of Weeping Water, shelled his corn, hauling the same to the ele vator at Wabash. Eugene Colbert and wife from near Wabash, were visiting and looking after some business matters in Weep ing Water on last Tuesday afternoon L. T. Bosworth of Wabash was a business visitor in Weeping Water on Tuesday of this week and was also meeting with his many friends in the hustling city in the center of the county. The Weeping Water Cash Store received a car load of flour on last Monday which they had unloaded at the store and aj-e well pleased with the business which is coming to their place of business. R. L. Lane was a business visitor in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha on last Monday, making the trip via his auto, and on the following day was called to Lincoln to look after some business as well. O. T. Leyda of Lincoln was a visi tor for a short time in Weeping Wa ter on last Tuesday, and visited with his many friends here while on his way to Louisville, where he went to look after some business matters. W. L. Munson, who has been farm ing on what is "known as the Brandt place, will begin soon to move his effects to the Forest place east of the Chilson school northeast of Weep ing Wnter where he will farm the coming year.

A. 11. Humble, who is employed with the Missouri Pacific headquar ters in Omaha was a visitor at home last Sunday and also remaining over for the New Year holiday. Mr. Hum ble is liking the work in Omaha well and finds that it is much better than conducting a station in the country. Wm. Jamison with a force ot workmen began the harvesting of the ice crop and will in a short time have all that is needed for the coun ty and those who store their ice, and of the very best, for the lake where the cutting is done is supplied wun an abundance of the very best of spring water. N. L. Grubbs. the village black smith, who some time since pur chased the shop which was formerly occupied by John E. Johnson, says that business is good, and that he has been compelled to forego the pleasure of looking after the business on account of a. siege of the flu, but at this time he is feeling some bet ter and is working as much as he is able. Frank H. Baldwin the blacksmith, who fought the dreaded disease, the flu, for so long had to finally give up to the malady, and was so he could not look after the business which came to his place of business, and had to have the shop closed for a number of days, and even when he did return to work was hardly able to look after the work. How ever he is gaining with every day and wlil soon be himself again. Spencer J. Marshall who is engaged in the shoe n'rid clothing business, says the year J 92 8 was a good year, and while it went along rather tratis and in many instances was a weath re market, made good in the end and came within 179 dollars of equal ing the year 1927, which was con sidered a very good year for busi ness. One only has to keep the best goods, sell them at a fair price and treat the people right and business will come and stay as well. Miss Margaret Meier, daughter of Mr. and . Mrs. J. J. Meier who is teaching music at the consolidated school at LeRoy, Iowa, was a visi tor at home for, the holidays, and on her return to her work in the Iowa town was taken over by her father, who drove in their car nearly two hundred miles.

Henegar noticed that the hog house where the hogs were sleeping was about covered with snow and that the hogs were liable to sufficate, and hopping out with a shovel wrok ed like a Trojan and cleared the snow away, thus saving the hogs During the work lie however, had the misfortune to frost a number of his fingers, and observing the same he immediately secured some snow and drew the frost out of the fingers. However they were rather sore the following day. Visi. Nehawka.

Mr. Ward, who has farmed for many years, has concluded that he is en titled to a position which does not require so much hard labor as the farm affords, and will sell goods over the county. Mr. Ward who has so many friends and who lias mingled with the people for so many years should make good in this new oc-. cupation. i LOWER RATES FOR CABLES New York, Jan. S. The Western Union Telegraph company announces that effective Jan. 14 its fifty-word night letter service will be extended overseas to its offices in London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Brad ford, Manchester, New Castle-on-Tyne, Southampton, Dundee, Edin burgh, Glasgow and Belfast.

The new serv ice will be extended to all points in Great Britain and Ireland as soon as the necessary arrangements can I be made with the British authorities. It will do away with the expense in cidental to coding and decoding mes sages and will provide the greater freedom of expression in cablegrams which plain language gives.
