a lurlott blow from the supreme

Change in Bank Guaranty Law
The state senate by a bare major
ity voi"d to amend the state bank
guaranty law by adding a provision ;
for the return of unused guaranty
funds to state banks that liquidate. In i
committee of the whole S. F. 96. in
traduced by Adams of Dawes, was
recommended for third reading after :
, opponents of the bill had failed to j
muster enough votes to defeat it or j
amend it. Fortner legislatures have ’
T< : --ed to pass similar bills. Governor 1
Neville was an interested listener in j
the lobby during a portion of the dis
cussion. -
Practically without debate or dis
cussion the committee of the whole
approved St ite Treasurer G. E. Hall's
1-ill introduced by Rushee and Adams
a bill designed to put state funds up
at auction to the highest bidder in
rate of interest, the auction to take
place ever? two years. The latter j
bill does not amend the banking law.
but it does affect the guaranty por
* <*n of the banking law to some ex
tent because state funds in legal de
positories are protected only by the j
guaranty fund.
Will Be Chairman of Board
Eugene O. Mayfield, chosen to suc
ceed Judge Howard Kennedy on the
-fate board of control, will be chair
man of the board when he takes of
fice March 1, according to a statement
cf board members, with whom he has
conferred. Mr. Mayfield's four months'
service on the board, to fill the unex
! pired portion of Judge Kennedy's
term, leaves him as the member
whose partial term expires first. Un
d< r the law such a member is entitled
to be chairman of the board. Judge
Kennedy has occupied the position
during the past year and a half.
A Fidelity Bond Measure
H. R. 167, by Cronin, has been fa- i
j vorably acted upon. It requires fidel |
ity companies when cancelling a bond
] to give to the person bonded their !
reasons therefor, provided for twenty ■
days’ notice of the intent to cancel
and gives a hearing before the insur
ance board if the bonded person de
mands one. Mr. Cronin said that ar
bitrary cancellation left a stain on
a man's reputation. This provided a
, method whereby, if he were honest.
| he could protect his reputation.
A saving to the state of from $2C,
I 000 to $30,000 a year would be effect
; «*d by the I)afoe-Taylor bill in the
house.Vreating a state printing com
mission. according to J. F. Webster of
j St. Paul, state printer. The bill pro
video that the printing and stationery
of ail state offices and all state insti
, tutions be supplied on the competitive
j contract and not in the open market.
The bill provides for a state printing
commissioner at $2,000 a year, and
for a stenographer at $840. He must
be what is known in the craft as a
“practical printer."
Tuition for State Wards.
A claim for $210.75. for tuition of
pupils who are from the state home
for dependent children during 1915
and 1916, has been filed with the state
legislature by L. S. Frisbie, superin
tendent of the University Place
schools. There were twenty-five chil
dren on his list, who were charged
! tuition at the rate of 75 cents a week.
The home for dependent children is

LLOYD GEORGE TELLS OF CONDI- ,
TIONS IN ENGLAND.
U-BOAT MENAGE ALARMING
Must Take Drastic Action to Cope
With Situation, Says Premier.
Tonnage Problem Grave.
London.—That Great Britain is
faced with a serious situation due to
a shortage of tonnage, was the admis
sion made a few days ago in the
I louse of Commons by David, Lloyd
George, the British prime minister. It
was a situation, he said, which called
for most stringent measures by the
government and in. order to meet it,
the importation of all non-essentials
was to be prohibited. On the ability
of the government to solve tonnage
shortage which was now affecting the
ordinary needs of the nation and mili
tary exigencies, said the premier, de
pended the success of the entente al- :
lied cause.
"If we take drastic measures,” the I
premier continued, "we can cope with
the submarine menace, but if the na
tion is not prepared to accept drastic
measures for dealing with the menace
disaster is before us..”
"Importation of all luxuries must be
batted, nonessential staples must 1
make way for the necessities of war,” !
he said.
In the long list of articles prohibit- i
ed importation are coffee, cocoa, tea, I
taw fruits, except lemons and oranges;
hides, leather, boots and shoes. A
speeding up in agriculture and ship
building is embraced in the premier's
scheme, and a lessening in the output
of beer is also provided for in it, in
order to save for food the cereals
used in brewing. A corresponding re
striction is also placed upon spirits.
There is alarm in some quarters over
the new order of things, it being gen
erally recognized that ordinary trade
will be seriously affected.
The restrictive plans will affect the
dining table of every Britton. “If ;
such a program is carried out,” the |
premier said. “England can face the
enemy’s worst. “Food stocks are low
est in our recollection, due to bad
harvests. For the nation’s life in
creased production is necessary. “The
year before the war 50,000,000 of tons
of shipping entered British ports.
"During the past year the total was
30,000,000. This was partly due to the
allocation of tonnage to our allies. “A
considerable portion of our tonnage
has been sunk by submarines during
the past thirty months. The ratio has
increased, due to Germany’s special
efforts to do her worst. "The govern
ment hopes to deal effectively with
the submarine question, but it does
not follow that we should rest on this
hope only.”

teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative, ’ and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els. and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem
ber, a good "inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 60
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Pigs,” which has directions for babies,

; large windows in n group in front and !
two on the side, while in the dining !
room there are three large windows on
the side. This makes both rooms nice
and light, which is very desirable, since i
they are the two rooms occupied more
than things put into the design which
make it unattractive.
The more attractive home is always
In greater demand. Demand regulates
value, to some extent regardless of the
original cost. Your home is an invest
ment, as well as a thing you have
pride in. and at some later time you
may desire to sell it. When this time
comes the more attractive house you
have built will show a greater value
of your investment.
A greater value is what you look for
in other investments. Why not em
body the idea in the home you are
going to build? In addition, you will
then have something of which you can
be more proud. Attractiveness is free,
so don't neglect it.

other things which should be given
earnest thought before anything defi
nite is decided on. They may add some
to the cost, but this addition will be
more than made up for by the addi
tional life of the house.
Suppose your house cost $4,000 and
that by adding $100 to the cost of ma
terial and workmanship you increase
the life ten years. If the house lasted
50 years, each year would show a de
preciation of $S0 in the $4,000. Ten
years’ life in the house is, then, worth
$S0O. So note that toy adding $100 to
the original cost you can get the ten
years of addition*! life, which is val
ued at $S00.

than any others in the house. The J
beamed ceiling in the dining room j
j shows good taste and it makes the j
dining room similar to the living room.
This is desirable because the two
rooms are connected by the colonnade,
i giving an open run-together appear

The stairway to the second floor is
; conveniently located in the back part
i of the reception room, where also are
j two closets for coats. People enter
i ing front the side or rear often do so
I because of the dirt they bring Into the
house. The two closets and location
i of the stairway with respect to the
; -side entrance allows such people to en
1 ter. hang up their coats and go direct
ly upstairs without tracking their dirt
through the house.
Among things in the kitchen which
would be appreciated by the house
keeper are the two windows over the
sink and a place where the kitchen
! table might be placed. The exception
; ally large pantry between the dining
; room aud kitchen would be appreelat
' ed also. It is nearly 14 feet long and
about four feet wide. The refrigerator
j is placed In the end of the pantry next
| to the outside wall. A door Is con
structed in this outer wall so that the
refrigerator may be filled from the out
side. This is convenient from many
points of view.
Going to the second floor it will be
noted that the landing of the stairway
is located in a bay of the house. This
is, from an artistic point of view, al
ways looked on with favor.
The hail has been centrally located
so that it is not only convenient to go
from one room to the other on the sec
ond floor, but further than this, a mini
mum of space has been taken up and
It is possible to have all of the other
rooms larger.
There are three bedrooms, a sleep
ing porch and the bath off from this
hall. Each of the bedrooms has nice
large closets and from three to four
windows, which allow plenty of light
and make the rooms as cheerful as
any of the others In the house.
A double door connects the sleep
ing porch with the back bedroom. It
can be entered either by way of this
bedroom or directly from the hall.
This makes it convenient to the bath
or makes it possible to use It as an
individual sleeping room when neces
sary.

PESSIMIST SENDS OUT WAIL
Seems to Think the Modern Type of h
American is Not the Equal of
His Predecessors.
His height was about six feet usu
ally. and weight from 170 to 200
pounds. His head had rather a mass
ive appearance, caused hy his hair be
ing allowed to grow thick at the back
and the whiskers, which were always
in evidence. The style of the hirsute
decoration varied somewhat. The up
per chin was shaven, though some
times the full heard was worn. The
paint brush or chin and side whiskers
were most common. The eyes were
clear and the expression frank and
honest. The bands were large, heavy,
stubby fingers and broad, hairy wrists
The feet usually required a No. 9 or
10 boot and were firmly planted. His
reading was not extensive, often con
fined to the Weekly Tribune and the
Bible. Morally and intellectually he
was as firm and dependable as were
the cowhide boots which he wore. In
business he was methodical, neat and.
for his day and generation, efficient.
He was n man of principle and cour
age to maintain them. It was this type
that made the revolution of ’76 possi
ble and the maintenance of the Union
through the dark days of ’61*65 a cer
tainty. What have we to take the
place of this type of American that has
meant so much to our country’s his
