President Has an Expensive
Beard.

Washington, June Sis costs the
people OF the United States 81 %
every time Presidents Roosevelt gets
shaved, and he shsves every day In
the year. The White House barber
is now paid 81, 600 a year. That is
equivalent to 81 % a shave. He
takes about ten minutes each day to
do the job, so he draws about 42H
cents minute for bis work. There
is not another barber In the United
States or anywhere else on earth
who makes so much per minute.
The White House barber Is ne.
gro. His salary, up until a few
weeks ago was $1,000 a year, but
he was such good artist that the
president decided to give him more
wages. So he set aside the civil ser
vice rules and placed him on the pay
roll In the office OF the auditor OF the
navy at salary OF 81 600 a year.
But the barber didn't go to work
in the auditors office. He was as.
signed to duty as the White House
barber. How long he will stay there
depends President Roosevelt, will
keep him probably until March 18th
next. The next incumbent may have

WON'T rAMPER WITH. HOUR LAW
No Legislation Will Be Attempted in

Washington, Feb. 14.-In the opinion
of some of the leading men in congress,
no serious effort will be made to in

the going into effect to the nine-hour
law affecting railway telegraphers.
There was hope on Capitol hill that the
interstate commerce commission would
see it's way clear to extend the time,
but the commission having said that it
had no authority along that line, con-
gress, it is predicted, will have to let
matters take their natural course.
Legislation for postponement, it is
said. could not be enacted, and to at
tempt it might lead to criticism which
would do no good in the campaign. So
the railroads must take their medi-
cine
In that connection, it is stated that
not all railways in the country have
been asking for an extension of time.
In the northwest especially, it is
pointed out, railways have been con-
tent with the law, and will try to con-
form to it as rapidly as possible.
Among the roads of this kind are
named the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific, Burlington and Chicago &,
Northwestern. In the east the Penn
sylvania company has not asked for
postpohement. but for months has had
schools in operation at which telegra-
ply is being taught. These roads,
however, are exceptions to the general
rule.

Scott of Kansas, chairman of the house
committee on agriculture, has con-
ceived novel plan which he believes
can be adopted and will enable tn
farmers of the country to produce bet
ter and far larger crops than hereto
fCre
Scott'sproposition involves the esta5-
lisment Of hundreds experimental farms
of one acre each, in every county in
the group of four western agricultural
states for the purpose of giving the
farmers practical demonstration OF
the best methods of growing different
kinds of crops. The proposed lands
for this purpose shall be furnished by
the farmers themselves and they shall
do the work of cultivation under the
direction of experts of the department
of agriculture No additional appro-
priations from congress will be re-
quired to test SCOTS plan, as the agrt-
cultural department now has the re-
quisite number of experts to carry out
the plan. Scott declares enough mon
ey is now being practically wasted by
the department. of agriculture in send
ing out farm bulletins and other gov
ernment documents to carry out his
