the immerse amount of work coin- nected with a show of this nature, it was apparent that the pelt show‘ committee. consisting of R3. Hum- phrey. Ernest Mill. Ed/ward Bur- lelgh and L.W. Hancock. had done its work well. The task of preparing the 1150 pelts entered in the show in the proper order has kept the committee busy for the past several days. Mllch credit is 8180 due l0 the classification committee. Theirs was the task of tussltyint the large mlmber of pelts in their re- spective divisions.

As each class was completed the first and second prize winners in that section were hung on display On a specially constructed stand and a cfimplete record kept by the secretary of the PEI. Fox Breed- ers and Exhibitors Association Mr. Walter R. Shaw, capably BSBlSIBd b)’

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 —-(AP)

-Senator Alexander Wiley (Rep.- Wis.) introduced legislation in thc United States Senate today to bar all pending portal-tc-pol-tal pay suits.

The total asked now exceeds 33.000.000.000.
