The farm bills that parsed the house and donate at the special session just he- j fore Christmas are now before the free conference joint committee of' the house and senate. The senate1 bill and the house hill vary in a great many respects, and it is not known | how long it will take the conferees to iron out differences, it Is hoped, tho that a suitable compromise can be effected by the conferee* and that the conference report will be sent next week to the house and senate for ac-; tion. It will soon be time for the planting of the 1988 crop and, therefore, it Ib essential that farmers be informed as to what is ahead of them as soon as possible, in order that they may make farm arrangements for 1938. It is hoped that the Bolleau amendment will be stricken out by the free conference committee, ua1 that amendment was sponsored by the dairy Interests of the Northwest and would be, If embodied in the law,1 very injurious to the South. I It is not known at this time whether or not new wage and hour legislaf-'-l tion will be brought to the floor of the house by the labor committee during this session. However, the presi-! dent indicated In his address to concress last Monday, that he has not given up his ideas and objectives along this line and that in view of the fact that he felt committed to the people to sponsor such legislation, ho hoped something could be done about if at this session of congress. The unemployment situation is still business census would be accurate enough to give definite figures. However, such a census is a stupendous job and did not turn out as successfully as was hoped, then the recent business slump added to the already large list of unemployed, and estimates of the unemployed at the present time vary anywhere from 3,000,000 to 6,500,000. The indications now are that the government does not intend to go into another splurge of Federal spending to combat the recent recession. The administration seems to 'lean toward the encouragement of private business to take greater risks in making loans by underwriting these loans to a certain extent. The recent housing bill was predicated on this theory, which probably accounts for the almost universal support given that bill when it was up in congress for consideration. 1 he world outlook is none too good. 1 be Japanese-Chinese situation is living no little concern, while the I nited States government Is stretching every effort to Insure peace, she is at the same time taking car? that ;bo battle fleet and army are in good condition In order that she may protect herself If we should be attacked.

What the outcome will be no one can foretell, but one thing is certain?another great world war will destroy civilization., Since the president's address, on Monday, practically the entire week in the house has been consumed in ' 1 ' 2 . . ? i*v ~ : % consideration of the independent offlees' appropriation bill. Other appropriation bills will follow in regular orderIn his budget message, dnrlnjC the week, the president recomhtfended many cuts in different activities' of the goverment. Immediately there was a howl, from every activity involved and the sponsors of activity, for which a cut was recommended. This is always the case, because the creation of a new department or activity of the government always carries along with it an organisation to perpetuate Itself. * Trailways For Sheep In Anzzona tainted rockT^k the winding .trallwayB tor sheep ?hrouKh ,h? ,oua mountain# * fl?ck8 move *? ward to avoid anowa.

The trailways tap the desert foothills surrounding thei Salt Kiver Valley, where the majority the sheep are wintered. Most of them are one mile wide, although the great Black Canyon arterial trallway is Ave to Six miles in width over.much of its route.

Warden Elwood H. Wilson was ordered by the court to administer tjwenty lashes to Rayhond Shrewsbrook, 21; ten to David Otavani, 20; and Ave to Arthur Spain, 21. The latest whipping sentences came in the midst of a controversy that has divided penal officials on the value of such punishment. Warden Wilson, given the task of carrying out today's sentences, declared that whippings serve as a crime deterrent and keep "big city" crooks out of Delaware. A strong opponent is Elmer J. Leach, who formerly held Wilson's 1 job. In the past nine yeans 227 prisonera have been whipped in Delaware, more than half of them for larceny. Breaking and entering, wife beating and robbery account for most of the others. ,? I Women no longer are punished by whipping.

Heath) Hoof beats thudding on packed turf like dlstunt war drums, the creak of saddle-leather, the sharp crack of mallet upon a white wooden balt!> Like a streak pf |vory lightning the aphe rold shot between the uprllfhts and Country, represented by four gleeful, grinning, whlte-helmeted lads, won the Devine eup for the third consecutive time and thereby takes permanent possession. It was the swishing mallet of good old "Pop" Bates that spanked the willow ball between the goal posts after flfty-eight seconds of play In a seventh and over-time chukker In Sunday's game between Town and Country. What a 'game! What a game! Country, winner of the game the preceding Sunday, seemed doomed to deteat when Town led 7 to 4, half way j through the sixth chukker. Some of ( the out of town fans in grandstand , and along the rail began to mill to- , ward their cars, as late afternoon y shadows were casting aerie and gro- , tesque blotches of gloom over the turf/ Country suddenly started an offen- f slve which in less than two minutes ( had netted them three goals and tied the count. Trailing 7 to 4, Country seemed certain of defeat, making a ' third game necessary. Kirby Tupper 1 was given a chance to take a shot ' from the 40 yeard line when Referee ' r mtl irr .i?irar.v t ,-11 ?* *> Little penalised Town. Tupper made i good and the railbirda, mostly femb nine, uncorked a real college cheer, i Then Joe Bates emerged from a mixup In the center of the field, carried the ball down In front of the Town goal and scored. The orowd sat back ss Boykln tied up the count Just beFore the bell sounded the end of the ( chukker. After a brief rest, both teams came >ut for the extra period. A scrim- , mage In the center of the field resulted in Country getting the spheroid ind taking it down toward the Town i goal. Out of a scrimmage twenty to thirty feet in front of the goal tricksled the ball. Bates came in like a [lash, swung his mallet and the game was over as the ball fairly siszled through between the uprights. The Country fans were jubilant while Messrs Tupper, Boykln, LightFoot and Bates doffed their helmets ft and waved to the cheering" friends, rhe team appeared before thd*-?randjtand to receive the beautiful silver trophy cup from Mrs. John Devlne, donor. Captain Bates accepted the ?up for the team but could not be persuaded to make a speech. The cup is now in the permanent possession of .the Country team?that group hnving taken the first three series after dropping the first series in I93B to Town. In actual scoring both teams were sven. A one goal nllowance given Country was the margin of victory, :he winning of the series and perma Dent possession of the cup. Country In an 8 goal team and Town rates as a 9 goal aggregation. Country led at the end of the first chukker, 3 to I, Carl Lightfoot having scored two goals for Country while Pomeroy scored for Town. In the second chukker DuBose and Floyd of Town and Boykin of Country scored. In the third Town tied the count when Floyd negotiated his second goal of the afternoon. Town literally went to town in the fourth when Floyd scored successfully on two penalty shots awarded him. Town raised its total to 7 in the fifth when DuBose shot the prettiest goal of the afternoon. The sixth opened with Town regarded as a certain winner. Country had been held scoreless for three periods. But Country had evidently been playing 'possum for the team' started a scoring feat in the last part of the sixth that put them into a tie with the Town laddies. Tupper, Boykin and Bates scored in the order named. Then came the seventh with Bates dropping the ball home for the all-! important goal.
