Willis, recently appointed to fill out Mr. Harding's term In the Senate, Is probably one of tho best spellers in the world, Some years ago, when he was a member of the House, the National l'ress Club challenged Congress to n spelling bee. The men of the prcsss, be ing in a way professional spellers, ex pected to have things pretty well their own way. Secretary Houston, then of the De partment of Agriculture, himself a schoolmaster, gave out the words. They were n rare selection of contorted mul tisyllabic terms such as no newspaper man ever used In writing a story. The journalists were mowed down. Thcro remained on the floor two men Heprcscntatlve Willis, of Ohio, orig inally n schoolmnstor, tfnd Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, who evolved from tho calling of lumberjack and cowboy. These two fought it out. Finally tho word "erysipelas" was propounded. The senator from Arizona succumbed. Mr. Willi!) wns the victor. Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of agri culture, was expatiating upon the un businesslike methods of printers and publishers of pnpers, work with which he has had much experience. In a certain small town, he said, tho publisher of a paper went broke nnd had to close up shop. A few days later ho met tho local banker on the street and the latter was reminded that tho bank owed n bill for a printing job. The banker nsked tho amount. t..i. , Ing his desire to pay. ' 0,su"v!
