me.
"'You must get it signed by the

he told me that the order must be on

that Ii was all wrong. Instead Of

for further particulars, and was in

object in uniting the women of the
South was to bring them together, to
pull shoulder to shoulder with the
Confederate veterans in extending all
necessary aid to the needy survivors of
the war between the States; to protect
historic places of the Confederacy: to
record the part taken by Southern
women. as well in untiring effort after
the war in the reconstruction of the
South as in patient endurance of
hardship and patriotic devotion dur
ing the struggle; to honor the memory
of those who fell in the service of the
Confederate States; and to cherish
ties of friendship among the members
of the society.

It seems that our antitrust and mon.

applies particularly to those products
which are considered necessities Of

bread. meat, wine, vegetables. fruit.
butter, vinegar. coal, wool. silk. etc.
Any "cornering" of such articles is a
criminal ofYense in France. 1t has been

been made so broad and sweeping that

cultural Oratory.
When the House OF Representatives
took up the agricultural appropriation
bill, quite a discussion arose over the
elimination of the usual free seed item
by the committee on agriculture. The
House gave to the country during the
days Of debate, n spectacle that else
where than on the floor of that parlia-
mentary body, would have been known
as rough house"
There was great tendency to
haze" members when they spoke In
defense OF the action of the committee.
Much was said about the attempt to
strike down the hardworking farmer
and take from him that helping hand
In the shape OF free seeds which had
been held out to him for so many
years.
None OF the advocates OF free seeds
emphasized the fact that the total val.
Tie OF the package containing five
small packets which forms the quota
sent to each farmer cost the govern
ment J. cents. and that each member
had the enormous sum of $50 worth
Of these seeds TO distribute among his
entire constituency. The arguments
advanced sought to prove that the
withdrawal OF this subsidy Of less than
2 cents to each farmer would drive the
entire agricultural voting strength OF
the country into bankruptcy.
ELoQUENCE ON TAP.
Some OF the speeches made will GO
rolling down the corridors OF time
as specimens OF that matchless elo-
quence always on tap in the House OF
Representatives when a great national
issue Is up for consideration.
Mr.. Henry, OF Connecticut. submit
