This is the season for prairie
fires and again the destruction OF
The property Of farmers is great.
Why will they not learn from ex-
perience to take the necessary
precautions to guard against these
annual yisitations? It is a very
simple matter to establish fire
breaks about their dwellings,, barns
.dn corrals, and those who utilize
the safeguards that experience has
taught r necessary to protect
sfieir property from these fires are
seldom sufferers.

The Windfalls of Wood.

The recent storm put hundreds Of cords OF
wood at doors OF city people all along It's

IL was not reduced TO stove lengths 1t was
also of extremely variable value, from poplar
and linden and soft maple up u ash and
hard maple. 1t was, however, two steps
nearer use than trees standing IN She woods
since II was close at hand and felled. Net
withsrandins the general dependence of CRY
people on coal for fuel, wood il used for

were largely worth cutting and moving for

ment providing that nothing in rule II
shall be construed to permit the committee
on banking and currency to report at any
time bin to repeal the tax upon the cir
culation of state banks.
Mr.. Grosvenor. in speaking briefly in
favor of his amendment, said that the
House had by mere advertence yesterday
given the committee right to report at
any time. The vote yesterday might be
construed and would be construed by the
people as an expression of the opinion of
the House on this question. Again yester-
day the House had adopted, through mad
verter ce, an amendment which would pre-
vent the anti-option bill from going to the
committee on agriculture. He cared little
about this, but he called attention to the
fact, because the people would believe that
when the House did something it meant
something and that it was not stumbling
along.
Mr.. Cannon Qll) opposed tie amendment.
He did not think that the amendment
adopted yesterday lad been adoptel
through inadverteuce. For one, he knew
for what he was voting when he cast his
vote.
Mr. johnson Qnd) denied that there was
anything in the amen lnent adopted yes
terday from which the country could infer
that the committee on banking and cur
rency would report a bill TO repeal the tax
upon state banks.
Mr.. Grosvenor then withdrew his amend
ment.
Mr.. Springer's Cloturc Amendment.
Mr.. Springer Un) offered an amendment
providing that the committees Except the
committee on appropriations clothed with
the authority to report at any time can
accompany their reports with a resolution
making the measure reported a special
order and fixing the time when the vote
shall be taken upon the final passage of the
bill. Such resolution may be called up for
considera ton the same as reports from the
committee rules.
MIR. McAIillin CTenn.) opposed the amend
ment, and spoke against cloture He had
never known fllibustering to interfere with
good legislation
Mr.. Boatner Ga) spoke in support of the
proposition. It did not go so far as his
own amendment (Which had been rejected).
but II was in the right direction
Mr.. springer, in advocating his amend
ment, declared himself as opposed to per-
inittins one man to obstruct the legislation
of Congress.
Mr.; Kilgore Texas)-You want to have
another business Congress"
Mr.. Springer-I want Congress to do the
business which ought to be DONE Gap
plauseD
1t Was Rejected.
The amendment was rejected without d.
vision.
Mr.. Flynn (Okla.) offered an amendment
giving the delegates from the territories
representation on the committees on Indian
affairs and public lands. Lost
Mr.. Hepburn QowD offered an amend
ment requiring the Speaker to recognize
the member who first addresses him and is
fortunate enough to catch the eye Of the
presiding officer.
After a brief debate the amendment was
rejected.
