Talks of Expansion-House Passes the
River and Harbor Bill.
Washington. Feb. S-The Republican
| members of the house of representa- tives
met in caucus at o'clock last night TO
determine upon a course of action in
| regard to framing financial legislation.
| The meeting was well attended. most

| Speaker Reed did not attend. having
previously made another engagement.
| General Grosvenor. chairman OF the
| caucus. presided, and Bennett of New
York was chosen as secretary. Hender-
| son of Iowa presented the following res
olution which served as a text for all
| the discussion of the evening:
Resolved, That committee of elev-
en- members Of the present house of rep
| resentatives. who are members of the
Fffty-sixth congress. shall be appointed
by the chairman of this caucus for the
purpose of considering monetary legis-
lation and submitting their reconmen-
dations to a Republican caucus at the
first session of the Fifty-siXth congress-
with authority to confer with like
committee from the senate"
30 Financial Legislation This Session.
The discussion on this resolution pro-
ceeded with much animation for more
than an hour. Those who spoke were
Henderson, Tawney. Cannon. Walker
Payne and Hepburn. There was but
little difference of opinion on the main
point-that ii would be futile to attempt
financial legislation at this late day in
the present session. Henderson made
strong speech in support of the plan en-
bodied in his resolution, ard pointed out
the advantage of having this important
subject committed to d body serving
both in this congress and the next, and
representing the various sections of the
country. and as far as possible its 6i-
verse business and economic interests.
Cannon Would Let 1t Alone.
Cannon of Illinois questioned the
wisdom Of the resolution, although he
said he would not oppose it with his
vote. He expressed the strong belief.
however, that the present prosperity OF
the country made it inexpedient to en-
ter upon financial discussions. He par
ticularly referred to the enormous ex-
ports within recent months. and the
great money balance in our favor. This,
he thought, showed such a healthy eco
nonic condition that il should lie left
alone. Cannon said he did rot think
any financial legislation could be carried
through until after the next presidential
election. Payne, the recently appointed
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. did rot coincide with Cannon's
objections and strongly favored the pro-
posed plan of committing the entire |
financial subject to q caucus commit |
tee.
When the vote was taken il was little |
short of unanimous-yeas. 50; nays. !. |
The chairman announced that the !
names of the members Of the committee |
would not be announced at present, as |
some time would be required to learn |
the wishes Of members concerning the |
hard work likely to be involved in this |
service. and also to make up strong |
organization, thoroughly representative !
in character. At 10 o'clock the caucus |
adjourned.

The water from the melting ice should

Proper Manuring of Trees.

The mistake of many people in ma
nuring trees is to place the fertilizer as
near the trunk as possible. That is very
much like feeding man held in up
right position by placing the food near
his feet. More frequently, however, the
manure is spread as far as the branches
extend from the trunk. The feeding
roots of large trees are mainly much
farther from their trunk than their
branches. Bury some dead animal three
or even four rods from an apple tree
in full bearing, and within year or
two roots will extend this distance and
find the fertilizer they need. In most
orchards tree roots interlace each other
and this crowding is one reason why
the trees are so often unpToductive. 1t
requires extra high feeding in such
cases to keep the trees vigorous enough
to be fruitful. If every other tree were
cut out the result in many cases would
be more and better fruit than now on
those left standing.-Prairie Farmer,

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.
The Moral Aspect of Poor Roads
Amusingly Disguised by New
York Newspaper.

Of late years we have been hearing
but one side of the roads question, till
the world has come to think that there
is but one side. While only bold man
would say that poor roads are better
than good roads, something is to be
said in their favor, and some sympathy
is due those despised and rural persons
that do not join in the general pean
in favor Of good roads. Not that one
would for a moment oppose the pres
ent agitation for them, any more than
one would oppose Sunday schools.
Both are commendable; yet even as
one would not wish this world one
large Sunday school, so one should be
moderate in ones desire for faultless
highways.
Imagine what it would be to have
roads eliminated from our calcula-
tons. The world would lose all those
ecstatic thrills it now experiences in
watching the clay or loan quagmires
change, drop by drop, back into the
delightful roads they can be at times.
Perfect roads would be as dull as the
IDEAL social state.
In a more important way humanity
would lose. Good roads, in a few short
years, would sap the moral fiber which
man has been cultivating through ages.
Time may come when we shall not need
the ethical stimulus of poor roads, but
it is far off. The Yankee gains the
sharpness and doggedness of the gran.
lite he daily drives over. The Virginian
has superimposed on his natural i'm.
petuosity, patience and endurance
from that red clay of his, which no
mere impetuosity can conquer. The
Floridian develops his character
through his calming sand; the Hi.
noisan from his bottomless black mud.
And fnally-if more argument be
needed-poor roads restrain the motto.

the box, and when this is opened it falls
to a horizontal position and acts as a
shelf. A number of small individual
boxes are revealed, and the second key
furnished opens one of these. For the
sake of convenience in distributing the
mail these many little doors form one
large one, which when opened by the
carrier gives access at once to all the
private boxes, but when he has closed
this shield the mail in each of these
compartments is secure from eXamina-
ton by any others than those holding
the keys of that particular box.
A large space is reserved in the bot
tom as depository for mail matter

DAIRY REFRIGERATOR.
Small Building of wood That Is
Easily Put Up North of Any
Large Farmhouse.

Plans for a small dairy refrigerator
for milk and butter from five cows
are wanted by j. K. B., who has Is
loads of ice and a good cool well. lie
wants a building of wood and located
north of a large farmhouse, around
which is a maple grove.
The plan illustrated herewith calls
for an addition of by II feet on the
north end of the house. Across one end
of the room thus made, see Fig. 2, is par
titioned the refrigerator proper, the
rest of the room being used as milk
room. This will give room to work
around the cabinet creamer which |
would set in the southwest corner. The
walls, ceiling and partitions should be
made by first sheeting up both sides OF
the studding with matched flooring,
adding to the sheathing on the inside
n layer of the best coal tar paper put
on in such a way that the joints match
at the studding. then fur out on the
inside and add another sheeting OF
matched flooring and building paper,
fur out once more and add a third and
last sheeting of matched flooring. This
gives three dead air spaces. The doors
should be built up in the same way as
the walls and the edges beveled SO as
to close practically tight.
The room to be used as a refrigerator
is divided into two compartments, one
for ice and the other for storage. The
icebox is 21a feet square, the partition
between it and the storage is made by
setting two by four studding six inches
apart and sheeting up on the storage
side from the bottom of the ice chest
within four inches of the ceiling. The
openings thus left at the bottom and
the top furnish means for circulation
of the air, which will pass into the TOP
of the ice box from the storage room
where it has become warm, while the
cold air from the ice passes out below
TO take its place. The bottom of the
ice chest should be up some 20 inches
from the floor, and consist of a galvan
lied iron drip-pan, resting on a grating

AUTOGRAPH FENDS.
Devices to Which They VIII Resort
to Secure the Signature of a

Every time we have a celebrity with

ing hotels, Il am certain to be deluged with
autograph albums. They are left by people
VINO calmly request me to waylay the nota-
bic and get his or her signature, preceded
II possible by some neat and appropriate
sentiment, verse preferred. 1t would be a
pretty tlcklish task if it were not for the
TACT that the celebrities themselves are
broken in to that sort of thing and have
ceased to regard it with any surprise. As a
rule, no explanation is necessary and all |
have to do is to hand over the little books.
Inc autograph hunters are particularly keen
after theatrical stars, and there is one we'll
known manager who derives a good deal of
amusement in acting as proxy. Last time
he was here he was with an eminent actress
and had been intrusted with no less than
dozen autograph albums. l received
specific injunctions from the owner of each
to get something characteristic and |
turned the bunch over to my managerial
friend. Here's where l make a hit!' he
exclaimed enthusiastically, and, grabbing a
pen, proceeded to lnscribe an enigmatical
sentiment of his own manufacture in
every volume. l remember one, which ran
ike this: Is not the expression of emotion
merely the emotion of expression? Truly
yours, Miss So-and-So.' The others were
equally incoherent, but somehow they had
wise sound and the autograph c6asers
.1sfgaS perfectly delighted. So deep!' so
'SslougntfuP were the comments they made
as they studied the gibberish after the books
were returned, and l am willing to bet they
are still wrestling with the inner meaning
of their prizes. The star herself has the
reputation of being quite student, and if

Practical Poultry Points.

At farmers institute in Iowa a lady
read an essay telling how she made a
profit of $500 annually from her flock
of about rs hens. In the discussion
that followed, one man, who said he
could not spare time from taking care
of his cornfield one year to build coop.
for the chickens, admitted that the
chickens and eggs his wife sold brought
in more money than his corn crop. An.
other woman, who had sold 1920 worth
OF poultry to the local poultry dresser
where she lived, said that the men could
talk poultry when the ground was
frozen five feet deep, but when spring
comes they will forget it all, and think
of nothing but corn and hogs, NOR,
corn and more hogs"
