President Taft is given the credit for
the friendliness in the tariff conference

OF HIS PETERSBURG VISIT.
Scenes Attending the dwelling OF
the Pennsylvania Monument
Near Crater Depicted

President Taft today relaxed the cares
OF q strenuous life to enter upon the de-
light OF seeing q moving picture show.
and he both heartily enjoyed and warmly
applauded the silent actors in the enter
tainment. the most distinguished one OF
whom was himself. The treat came on
at a moving picture theater on 9th street
late this afternoon
When the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mono

There were also present the governors OF
the two states, Gov. Claude a. Swanson
Of Virginia and Gov Edwin A. Stuart of
Pennsylvania, and never before had Vir-
GINA SO laid herself out In a royal well
come to the chief executive.
Moving Pictures Made.
A photograph company at the time Sc
cured moving pictures of everything OF
interest. and II was these pictures the
President saw and enjoyed today. Among
the features shown by the films were the
unveiling of the monument. at which the
widow of Gen. William Malone assisted;
the rostrum on the crater battlefield. with
the President delivering his address; the
luncheon at the south porch OF the
Charles Hall Davis mansion, afterward
the President making a speech on the
north lawn later in the day: one Of the
deliberately decorated dining tables in
the Davis home. a splendid picture of the
monument itself and the parade and incl
dents preceding the unwilling.
At an appropriate stage Of tho per
Torrance a song emitted The Blue and
the Gray" written by e. D. Macafee, jr.,
and embodying the words OF Gov. swan
son, You're Safe In Old Virginia." with
music by w. J. Burleish, was sung.
"Taft Welcome In Dixie.c
A picture in which the President seemed
to take special pleasure was one Of him
self. on the frame OF which, on each cor
ner. was draped an American nag. while
in the center was suspended the Confed'

the floor, was a nest containing a possum
with seven OF her young. The old possum
began to stir after a while and the young
ones attached themselves to her back
After maneuvering around for while she
deliberately cTawied up the picture. pulled
down the Stars and Bars and rolled over
on the door, leaving Old Glory intact. The
picture was entitled ''Taffy, You Have
Won Me-" and. 1t was explained, wal

WHOLESOME ENTERTAINMENT

Are we all listening, as Jane Adams
says we should, to the appeal of youth
for it's share in the joys of life and
watching for examples of wholesome
entertainment which we can approve
and follow and possibly improve upon
Dancing in itself is most beauti-
fnl and healthy exercise. Late hours,
badly ventilated rooms, elaborate dress,
extravagant cost, often make it dissi-
patton.
One Saturday evening recently |
looked on at little party that appear
ed to have none of these Objectionable
features. 1t was in an open pavilion
on the shore of Lake Mendoza. Dane
ing began at half past eight and stop
ped before twelve. The dress was SIM
pie and suitable, and the conduct natur-
al and in all respects we'll bred.
Those who attend these informal
parties are mostly from the surround
ing neighborhood. Some come from
town. The tall, straight, cleanfaced
young man who stands at the door and
calls for the tickets is the manager of
the neighborhood baseball team This
team rents the pavilion for a series of
summer Saturday evenings and their
manager is invested with authority to
say who shall and who shall not enjoy
it's privileges. Good character, good
behavior, and the payment of fifty
cents are the conditions of admittance
which he imposes. He is gentleman
and his sisters accompany him and the
bars are never let down.
These dances furnish pleasure for a
large number of young people, most of
whom are very busy during the week.
They look forward to and will probably
look back upon these Saturday evenings
as delightful occasions. The dances
furnish enough and yet not too much
recreation to satisfy the normal desire
of youth for social entertainment.
In the winter, parties conducted on
the same plan are held in a nearby
ball.
Every neighborhood has not Lake
Mendoza nor pavilion nor perhaps a
baseball team, but it has young people
in need of amusement. -LaFollette'

STUMP REMOVAL TEST

Experiments with various methods of
removing stumps from cut-over lands
will be begun this summer by the Agri
culture Experiment Station of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in cooperation
with the Minnesota station and office of
Farm Management of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Arrange
ments have been completed for the col
lection of statistics concerning meth
cd followed by persons and firms now
engaged in such work in northern and
central Wisconsin and northeastern
Minnesota. The plan is to first secure
the experience nd cooperation of
those who have removed old pine stump
age, including stumps of white, Nor
way and jack pine, and hardwood.
The field work will be directed by J. F.
Kadonsky, Dorchester, Wis.
The purpose of this work is to dis
cover methods that are cheap and effec
tive for putting stump lands in condition
for crop culture. This problem is of
vital Importance to large areas of cut
over lands in northern Minnesota and
Wisconsin. T he present methods of
stump removal are so expensive in
many cases that such lands are not
readily taken up by settlers.

f. ht against in modesty. He loved
simplicity as he loved modesty. Os-
tent ton he abhorred, especially the
oetentation of funerals and cemeter-

taph that lie had once seen in Sc
cluded graveyard.
This epitah, which was cut on the
simplest, cheapest stone 1t is possible
to imagine, said:

Returning to Business at 81.

A dealer in furniture named Pietro
Abbato, an Italian, who has lived in
Bagshot for very many years, recently
retired from business, and, taking with
him his life's savings went to Italy.
Upon arriving there Mr.. A,bbato, find
ing all his relatives had died during
his long absence, decided to return to
England.
When near the French frontier he
was set upon by brigands, who robbed
him of all he had, with the exception
of ga, and left him for dead on the
road. After undergoing much suffer
ing and many Lardships, Mr.. Abbato
managed to reach BagshOt once again,
and is now, at the age Of eighty-four
years, beginning to make living for
himself at his old business.
