The theory back of this attitude is to give the executive branch more of a free hand in deallog with international problems than would be possible were the solons to semaht on the job. Early adjournment hinges on the dispatch with which current controversial legislation is handled. The question arises Whether Mr. Roosevelt and, his aides would be willing to swallow some fitter legislative piils to rid themselves of the Congressional monitors or continue their "thumbs down*' policy on measures now pending without much hope of quick settlement. /r There is a marked difference of opinion among the leaden of both partisan camps as to the relative advantages of keeping Congress dawd- Bng- over policy questions dealing with domestic matters. The omnious turn ' of events in Europe and especially in the Far East hav4 again highlighted tbe foreign issues. Allegedly inspired articles emphasizing the question of Credits to neutrals and belligerents are drawing fire from isolationists and others. The heavy expenditures of belligerents for munitions and aircraft and enormous debts contracted by neutrals for defense against possible invasion have made this country's position on extension of credit a subject ;tf unusual significance. >v Some talk is heard about prospects for repeal or amendment of the Johnson Act, which places definite restrictions on American loans to nations in War areas.

The Administration is apparently not greatly disturbed as the Lower Chamber kicks over the traces in a campaign season. The Senate is expected to sidetrack all labor legislation. The prospect for the Senate passage of the Walter bill has Iween greatly improved by the over- Whelming vote in the House. The question of veto is not ignored with the likelihood of the House overriding Presidential disapproval.

Because it was impossible to cash a check on Sunday, as the banks are closed, the belief has riaen that checks dated on Sunday are of no value. Certain religious groups have also fostered the idea by their insisting that no business transacted on the Sabbath day is valid in the sight of God. Perhaps a Sundaydated check in the collection plate would loot be counted!

It is reasonable to assume that these knots are used for breathing purposes to give aeration that the roota need. They also are of great help in supporting the tree. The knees occur mostly where water covers the surface for long periods and theii height corresponds rather closely to the average high-water level for the locality. Occasionally they reach heights of from 8 to 10 feet above the low water mark. Trees in soft soils have larger and stronger knees than those ip firmer •oib. _ „ . • * .

SPRING GROVE BULL RECEIVES HICH AWARDS BY LAKE COUNTY DAIRYMAN Sadly enough, King Bess Ormsby De Kol Fobes was never fully appreciated until he had passed into the "perpetual pastures" above. King Bess, in case you haven't heard, was the animal recently announced by the American Dairy Cattle club as the highest indexed Holstein bull to be proved in the United States. As close as can be figured by the United States Department of Agriculture from dairy herd improvement association records on King Bess' daughters and their dams, had King Bess been a cow in stead of a bull and milked twice-a-day for 305 days as a 6-year-old, he would have produced 16,840 pounds of milW testing 3.7 per cent fat and containing a total of 623 pounds of butterfat. In other words, these production figures represent his proved index or probable transmitting ability of milk and butterfat production. What makes the story doubly interesting to local farmers is the fact that King Bess was bred, bom, and raised on a Lake county farm by a Lake county dairyman, Henry Wegener, of Ingleside. Located at Volo. During the World War Wegener worked for the almost legendary E. J. Countryman on his Townside Farm at Volo. Countryman, a Dixon, Illinois banker, became over-enthusiastic in the business of cattle-breeding, but gained nation-wide prominence for some of his "cattle deals" before going under. When the farm was sold out, We* ener bought seven or eight fine purebred cows that were originally bought for Countryman in New York State, along with a bull that was bought as a calf for $1,300. He bred this bull to one of the cows and got a heifer calf which he named Lilac Hill De Kol Segis Alcarta. She grew up and made a dairy herd improvement association record of 699 pounds of butterfat and 17,018 pounds of milk. She was sold as an 8-year-old for $300. Buys Famous Bull Just before the Gus Pabst dispersal sale, Wegener went up to that farm and paid out $500 for the privilege of owning Sir Bess Ormsby Fobes 73rd. But this bull proved he was worth that price and more. Wegener kept him long enough to get sixteen or seveneen wonderful daughters which crew up and averaged 113 pounds of butterfat over the average production of their dams. The bull was then sold for $550. Besides all his daughters, Sir Bess also left a bull calf out of Lilac Hill De Kol Segis, the cow with the 699 pound butterfat record. One day Leland Hegeman, » Holstein breeder of Spring Grove, coaxed Wegener into letting him buy the 14- month-old bull for $125. And that bull was the one this story is about-- the indexed King Bess Ormsby De Kol Fobes. So you see he did not "just happen" but actually was the result of a long, consistent and sound program of better bull selection on the part of a Lake county dairyman. King Bess Ormsby De Kol Fobes was taken from the Wegener herd by sale and from the Hegeman herd by de^th, but his memory certainly will live\ on a long time. E P. Haines of Belleville, N. J., in his will left a $100 trust fund to his granddaughter, Florence Woodruff, if she would cease smoking for time years, which she refused to do.
