Speaker Gannon's Birthday.

Washington, May 7.-Speaker Cannon
10 10 years of age today. The House
knew that this was the speakers birth
day, for when 'Uncle Joe' appeared in
the doorway nearest the speakers desk
and when he assembled to the rostrum,
long continued applause followed his
steps.
With gavel in hand the speaker waited
and when both hands of the clock stood
at IL, with smile, the gavel came down.
In the prayer which the chaplain offered,
the following reference was made to the
speakers natal day:
"Let Thy blessing descend upon each
member of this house, especially on him
who presides over it's deliberations,
crowned by the glory of 10 years of
usefulness. Lengthen his years, keep him
in health, strength and vigor for his
family, friends and country"

Pleased with Gotten Congress.

B. f. Earle, State organizer of the
Farmers Union, has returned from
Washington, where he attended the In
ternational Cotton Congress. Mr.. Earle
was greatly pleased with the meeting.
In speaking of it to-day he said:
"The meeting was highly satisfactory
to both parties represented. The ques.
tion Of handling and baling cotton came
up. The English spinners wanted better
methods of handling and baling. Under
the present method there is too much
waste, and the loss all falls on the
grower, OF course. The spinners also
want the wrapper not cut for sampling
purposes. The spinners were pleased
with our proposed plan of warehouses.
They will be glad to buy the cotton di-
rect from the Farmers Union ware
houses, provided the farmers are able to
guarantee the delivery OF the cotton.
Resolutions we're agreed to that all bales
should be made of uniform dimensions,
that light weight new burlap vass be
used for wrapping, or, if conditions JUS
titled, that cotton canvas be used, that
ten ties be used on all bales, with the
Egyptian style of buckle preferred, and
that all cotton should be bought and
shipped at net weight.
"There seemed to be great differences
of opinion as to the government reports,
but no definite plan of change was pro.
posed. The question of the cotton year
came mp and it was agreed that it should
begin August instead of September /.
considering everything that was done
at the first International conference of
the spinners and growers of the cotton
Of the world, long step was made In
the direction of settling difficulties that
! confront both the growers and spinners.
1t was evident that the spinners of the
world we're as anxious as the growers
themselves to maintain o uniform and
profitable price for cotton.
"The solution of all these great prob.
lens depends on the growers. The
spinners are waiting for the growers to
set profitable price for their cotton and
then sell to every spinner at the same
ce."-Anderson Mail, May
