Washington, Not. 11.? Membac*
of Congreaa who have already
reached Washington have passed the
word around that there is going to
be a very hard light among the hovae
leaders before Congreaa ever aub

national defenae program. Not only
will the admtniatratlon be forced to

be surprising to many men here if
Mr. Wilson ia forced to accept a
compromise, one entirely pleasing 10
Minority Leader Jim Mann and hla

Probably the blggeat setback that
baa bren given the propoaed plana as

awered these questions when ques

Clark ia not going to take the

he going to make speeches through

It is stated, "At k meeting of Iho

were made for an into excuraiob for

I be leve, however, we ar" going

fundamental principles of christian

The plan as outlined, in itBelf, ap
peals to me as a good one. 1 bo
eve it is worthy of execution, but
lot on the Sabbath. If It Is worth
vhile, we can afford to take a dny

Sabbath for worldly employment or
recreation even though entirely
proper or commendabla on other ?

The matter of good roads is of

demer has taken up crabbing. Nev
ar before In the history of the com
munity has there been such an
earnest and lealous hunt after crab*
as theer Is at prrsent.
The Interest In the sport Is due
to a catch made a few days ago by
Baker Potter, of that fcectlon. Mr.
Potter was dredging for oysters when
he pulled up a huge crab with a pint
bottle of bottled-ln-bond liquor
attached to one of Its elaws.
It Is believed that the bottle fell
overboard from some boat and that
the crab had beeo trying to get tho
cork open, a* part of the cork was
eaten away.
In spite of the numerous crab
bers. however. Mr. Potter's discov
ery haa not been duplicated as yet.
