Washington, April 23.-As the SEN
ate was about to conclude considera-
ton of the naval appropriation bill
yesterday Senator Piles of Washing
ton proposed an amendment increas-
ing from two to four the number of
new battleships to be authorized. AS
several senators desired to speak on
the amendment, further consideration
of the bill was postponed until to-
day An amendment to the naval
bill was adopted appropriating
100000 to begin construction on
the two battIeships authorized by the
bill as it was passed by the house
By the overwhelming vote of 245 to
IS, the house, after several hours of
discussion, adopted without amend
ment the house joint resolution au-
hOrizing the attorney general to file
suits against the Oregon e California
railroad for forfeiture of all or a
part Of $500 acres Of land in western
Oregon. It is claimed by the gov
eminent that by reason of breaches
and violations of acts making the
grants, the company had forfeited
all right to the land in question.
The sentiment of the house was prac-
ticalIy unanimous that the suits
would work no hardship on bona fide
purchasers of homesteads from the
company. The resolution was intro
duced in the senate by Senator Till
man and has passed that body.

An amendment for four battIeships
was introduced by Mr.. Piles, and the
fight for its adoption was led by Mr..
Beverage. Twenty-three votes were
cast for the increased program, the
number largely being made up of re-
Gently elected senators. Fifty sena-

the recommendation of the senate
naval committee in favor of build
ing only two battIeships.
AS finally passed the bill carries
appropriations of $123,115,659, and
provides for the construction of two
battleships and two GOLFERS and the

the construction of submarines and
other necessary craft and increases

! New Orleans, La, April 26.-Proba-
/ bly, half a thousand lives were lost, a
/ hundred or more persons fatally in
! jured and many times this number
! painfully hurt, together with a prop
! erty Loss running up into the millions.
Such is the record so far of the tor
nado which originated in the west two
days ago. Sweeping across Texas,
| Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-
! sissippi, Tennessee, Alabama and
/ Georgia, it has left a path of death,
! deso1ation and want in it's wake, seri-
ously interrupted all communication

Mississippi Hardest Hit.
Mississippi, already sufferer from
more than one cyclone this year, has
again borne the brunt of winds and
rains Reports received from that
state indicate that the loss of life
will be by far the greatest within her
| borders. Estimates of the number Of
! those who lost their lives in Missis-
sippi places the death list at nearly
! 300 with 1000 or more injured.
| In Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and
/ Georgia, the death lists are also large,
! and much loss of life occurred in Ar
kansas and Tennessee. Authentic in
formation is in many instances lack
! ing, owing to crippled capacities for
communication and lack of time to
form anything like an accurate esti-
mate of the damage done In many Sec
| tons.
Martial Law Declared.
In half a dozen communities mar
tial law has been declared, so terri
bic was the destruction and so help
less were the stricken people left by
the disaster. Serious disorders have
occurred in some places, including
Amite, La. Looting and other crimes
have been reported but these instan-
ces have been on the whole rare.
Appeals for Aid.
Several places have issued appeals
for aid and in Mississippi, Governor
Noel has been asked to provide tents
for the homeless in sections left des-

two days. 1t was Thursday night

Fsrmsrs and Mail Order Houses.

Not long ago we heard a farm
er state that hecould buy goods
Of a mail order house if he want
ed to and that it didn't make any
difference to him about the town
merchants business
We admired his American in
dependence but not his judge
nent. In the same conversation
the farmer stated that if his farm
was three miles nearer town it
would be worth fifty dollars an
acre instead of thirty-five. We
q back the statement that his
farm might be located fifty miles
Bearer the mail order house he
spoke of without increasing the
value.
The first argument and the
best. put up to sell q farm is that
it is located near a good town,
Here are a few questions that
viii stand the proof Of all argu-
ment put up for mail order
houses. What makes the town?
What causes the merchants to
stnyf Why is the land near town
valuable? How do mail order
houses help a town? VIII the
mail order houses let a man have
goods on credit?
Who carries the credit
account OF the farmer? Is the
farmer increasing the value Of his
farm when he sends his money
to Chicago? A number of such
questions could be asked to which
there can be but one answer and
that is--TIade at home. The mar
ket for your reproduced is here, your
friends are here, your property
is here. Pick your home town
up bodily and move it away and
your farm would depreciate from
one third to one-half IN value.
