Bailey and the Others in Washington
TO Prepare Their Report.

Washington, Dec. 2l-That there are
problems and difficulties of serious
character affecting the farmers from one
end of the country 10 the other, the solu-
ton of which they are going to demand
was the declaration of L. H. Bailey,
chairman of the country life commission,
who With four other members of that
body arrived here today to prepare their
conclusions for presentation TO President
Roosevelt.
The first meeting of the commission TO
consider the report was held today. The
commission expects to have the report
in the hands of the president the latter
part of the month.
everywhere there are serious economic
questions alonog the lines of distribu-
ton, marketing and the lack of effective
cooperation among the farmers, said
Professor Bailey.
Farmers are in need OF social organi-
cation. We found, for example. where
farming is very prosperous, the social
conditions may not be very good. Great
emphasis has been placed on the def

Cause of Opposition.
While there was some opposition 10 the
S35-acre proposition last session, il was
not this part of the bill which brought
a deadlock III the house. The most OBJ
iectionable feature seemed TO be the non
resident paragraph which enabled entry
men 10 acquire title without actually re-
siding on the land This idea was re-
puguant 10 the principle Of the homestead
law and gave rise 10 the general belief
that the bill was net drawn in good faith,
but was rather a measure framed in the
interest OF stOckmen seeking TO acquire
control Of a large extent of range coun-

arid lands which cannot be reclaimed by

IMAM CATCHING"
Jewish Rabbi of Philadelphia
breaches Interesting Sermon.

Philadelphia, Dec. 21.-.'Man catching
by frivolous women was deplored here
yesterday in a sermon by Rabbi Joseph
krauskopf at Keneseth Israel temple.
This, he declared. was responsible for a
good portion of American divorces. The
rabbi said
From the day that the daughter enters
young womanhood the. sole thought of
many homes is man-catching. No artifiee
is stunned that shall enable the gorgeous
~ decked out huntress quickest to entrap
her victim.
There is probably no thought which oc-
cupies a young society woman more than
that of being married; there is probably
no thought which occupies her less than
that of being happy when married, or
making a husband happy"
