Both branches of Congress moved slowly during the opening week of the short session while legislation was being whipped into shape, but they will get down to actual work this week. The program in tne Senate is somewhat uncertain Hpripn^ont upon a meeting: of the Demo cratic steering committee tomor row. While the Interstate Commerce committee is deliberating on plans for expediting the Pres ident's railroad legislative program, three measures are readv for immediate consideration. They are the District of Columbia prohibition bill, immigration bill and corrupt practices meas ure. Corrupt practice legislation probably will be displaced temp- , bfarily by the immigration bill In ttlP Qpn riio fnmnnr?t?i ??f"l M l\/AllVtIVVY) UIJU with its literacy test probably will pass the Senate without i prolonged discussion, despite the . . probability that it may meet an other presidential veto. The prohibition bill for the District of Columbia is to be urged at | every opportunity by Senator ' Sheppard, leading the fight for the Democrats, and Senator j Kenyon, for the Republicans. Its passage by the Senate before the March adjournment is re garded as very probable. McAdoo and Houston to Stay ! in Cabinet 1 Washington, Dec. 8.?In spite ] of reiterated reports to the con- ] Qffidals close to President i ihfcr Secretary McAdoo nor Sec-1 < fetafy Hotlston will retire from I the cabinet at the close of the < president's first term. Attorney < General Gregory, who returned ] toda3r from Texas, refused to j say whether he was planinng to j kesign. In his case, however, i the reports are generally credit ed among his friends. One evening a stern father came rather hurriedly Into the parlor and was much shocked to see his daughter dnd her "young man" occupying the same chair. *'Sir," he said, shaking his head solemnlv. "wh On I it;nc I , ?? ? w?a M. T? 1IO | courting my wife she sat on one side of the room and I sat on the other." "Well," replied the suitor, not in the least abashed, "that's what I should have done if I had been courting your wife." I AMI 1VA?JJ COR I am now in the mark Mules. Don't buy or swap i R.F.S wr f* VU k/vTIUV In those old distant vanished days when we were young our fathers raised the kind of hogs called razorbacks, so thin that they could slide through cracks. Their spinal columns had an edge far sharper than an iron wedere, and you could take a porker's spine and shave yourself and do it tine. They were ungainly, ugly brutes; they ran to appetites and snoots; and you could feed them for a year on bran and shorts and corn in ear, and when to weigh them you went around, you saw they'd gained but half a pound. Then someone with a bulging brow, and brains as much as laws allow, no doubt remarked, "Doggone my dogs! We're fools to raise this kind of hogs! We feed them milk and grain and meal and all we harvest is a squeal." But breeders now of pure bred swine have done a work that's great and fine; they've made ouragriculture pay, and chased the farmer's wolf away. They've preached, till all men understood their creed, "The best is none too good," and now the scrubs are rarely found where once they rooted up the ground. And farmers having pure bred; sows, begin to yearn for purebred cows; and then they fill the air with howls because they haven't better fowls, and so at last tliey cannot rest till all their out in every other line. The modern pure-bred, up-todate, so trim and handsome, slick and straight, is no more like the old-time hog than my gray cat is like a dog. It is a peach from tail to ears, and represents long earnest years of wise selection, care and thought, and now it's to perfection brought. The smoothest critter on the pike, it stands for progress and the like. And if the farmer has the change, there are good breeds through which to range. The Duroc with its ruddy hue is charming in the critic's view; the Poland-China brings delight, as does the stately Chester White, the Berkshire, Yorkshire, Tamworth brands are popular in many lands. Just see that pedi gree is strong and then you'll know you can't go wrong.? Walt Mason.
