CONGRESSMAN Watson Gives
Views to the Grain Deal
erS' Association.
PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE.
HAVE COME TO THE TIME WHEN
THE GOVERNMENT is GOING
INTO THE SUPERVISORY BUS
MESS.

Congressman James T.. Watson, OF
Rushyille, after first declaring him
self less informed on the subject than
any OF his hearers, the members OF the
Indiana Grain Dealers association,
spoke pretty positively Thursday after
noon at indianapolis in favor Of the
government supervision of grain in
spection.
we have come to a time in the his
tory of this nation" he said, contrary
to the theory of the founders, when
the government is going into the SUI
pervisory business. The step has al
ready been taken as to the railroad
business and the meat business; it
should be taken in the grain business.
The Sixth district congressman
seemed to voice the belief of the asso-
citation, for no word of opposition to
his theory was heard in the general
discussion by members Representa-
tives of the big terminal markets, Buff
faIo, Chicago and others had been ex-
pected to protest, but said nothing.
Watson said there was a time when
he was most ardent opponent of fed
eral supervision of any business what
ever He knew better now, he said.
He told of introducing a bill at the re-
cent session of congress looking to-
ward federal inspection of grain and
the establishment of uniform stand
ards. 1t was too late then to get the
bill through, he said. but the appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the use of the Ag-
ricultural department In investigating
methods of standardization and eX-
tending the inspection features of that
department was increased to $4,000.
His declaration that government in
spection should, in time. make Ameri-
can standards apply in the markets of
Europe was cheered warmly
He read letter from Secretary Will
son, of the department of agriculture,
in which the latter said:
'Worlz on the whole question of
grain standardization is progressing
satisfactorily and we hope in the near
future to be able to inject into the
general question of grain inspection
and grading something like scientific
and definite methods in such manner
as will result in uniformity of grades
and inspection and confidence in the
same by both producers and handlers
OF grain.'

Hotel Ways Abroad.

Hot water is not laid on" (piped)
at foreign hotels, says the Travel
Magazine. If you hear a gentle tap
on the door in the morning you may
interpret 1t as meaning that a copper
ever of hot water has just been set
down outside for your personal use.
If you order a bath it will be pre-.
pared for you accordingly, and a sweet
voiced maid will give you notice when
it is ready. You are not expected to
operate the water valves at all, and
1t is doubtful if you would succeed if
you tried.
From variety of vacant rooms at
hotel shown you you select the one
you prefer, with definite agreement
as to price. You are not required to
accept humbly and thankfully, in blind
faith. whatever room the clerk deigns
to assign to you as in America. 1t is
expected, however, that you will order
your breakfasts at the hotel, being
free to get your other meals elsewhere
If you prefer.

IN THE CONGO BELT.
Author Tells of Horrors Endured by
the Natives.

Very black is the picture of Congo
life drawn by E. D. Morel in his new
ly published book, Red Rubber" He
says: "Out there in the forest, the
broken man through the long and ter
rifying watches of the night-what is
his vista in life? Unending labor at
the muzzle of the Albini or the cap
gun; no pause, no rest. At the ut
most, If his fortnightly toll of rubber
is sufficient, if leaves and dirt have
not mingled in too great proportion
with the juice, he may find that he
has four or five days a month to
spend among his household. II SO,
he will be lucky, for the vines are
ever more difficult to find; the dis
tance to travel from his village great
er. Then the rubber must be taken to
the white mans fine station, and any
number of delays may occur before
the rubber worker may leave the sta
tion for his home. Four or five days
freedom per month-that is the very
maximum he can expect. Five days
to look after his own affairs, to be
with his family, and always under the
shadow of the sentry's rifle. But how
often in the year will such good for
tune attend him?
Shortage on one occasion only will
entail the lash, or the chain and de-
tention-worse, perhaps, if the white
man has fever or an enlarged spleen
that day. And if he flinches! If, start

forest, when shapes growing out of
the darkness proclaim the rising of
edge that his basket is but half full,
and that he must begin his homeward
two days march betimes not to miss
the roll call, his heart fails him, and
he turns his face away, plunging
further into the forest, fleeing from
his tormentors, seeking only one thing
-blindly to gee away from his life
and all that it means-what will hap
pen?
'Well enough he knows. Has he not
seen the process with his own eyes?
Father, mother or wife will pay for
the backsliding in the hostage house.

live, seeking such nourishment as
roots and berries will afford. Shall

that it may be a friendly one? But
there the sentry will be also, and his
doom as a deserter is sure"

Why "a Canard 2

Does anyone know the origin OF the
word "Canard," a duck, as meaning a
false report, especially in a newspa-
per? l came upon the explanation
only recently, says a writer in Vanity
Fair. 1t is this. About 1860 French
journalist, being hard up for news,
wrote an amazing story in leading
Paris journal to the effect that he had
kept and fattened 20 live ducks, and
one day being short of duck-food he
killed one, chopped it up, and distri-
buted it among the other 10. The fol-
lowing day he slaughtered another
bird, and the Is ducks ate it up. So
he went on from day to day, unit
there was only solitary duck left,
which had, of course, assimilated most
of the other 10. The enterprising
press gentleman then related that he
had this last duck for his own dinner,
thus practically eating the score of
birds at one meal. The amazing yarn
went the round of the papers at the
time, and formed the origin of the
term "canard" for a humping big
story.
