The Appropriations Committee OF the
House Of Representatives will leave New
York on November for an inspection
tour Of the Panama Canal
This announcement was made yester-
day by Chairman Tawney. OF the Ap-
propriations Committee. and he regards
the trip as one Of the most important
10 be taken during the Slxty-drst Con-
gress
First. the members hope to become
personally acquainted with conditions on
the canal. so they viii be more capable
in making the appropriation for next
year. Then. it is thought by those
in charge Of digging the big ditch that
1t is a pretty good idea to let the labor
ers ana other foreign employees become
acquainted with the way the United
States carries on its business.
The members Of the committee will
spend some time in the Canal Zone
and go over every foot Of ground where
work Is to be done under the next ap-
preparation. Several Senator's and other
government officials VIII 80 with the
committee. The party. according TO pres
snt plans, win number twenty-eight.
President Taft urged the trip. and Col.
Goethals. also. said he would be pleased
70 have the Congressman visit the canal
Had Erroneous Idea.
Two years ago the committee went on
an inspection tour OF the Canal zone
and since that time work has been dome
much more harmoniously than before
Inc Foreign laborers. il is said. pre-
Viousiy looked upon the engineers IN
charge OF the work as wholly respon-
sible, and almost weekly some demand
for changed, or what they termed bet
ter conditions was made upon Col. Goe-
thals.
However when they saw that Congress.
and not the engineers, was responsible
for things on the canal. the demands be-
gan 90 decrease. and since that time
there has been little trouble.
Mr.. Tawney says that by the inspection
tour two years ago, the committe was
able TO save S2.C00,OOJ. and he homes the
visit this year Will give similar results
Since the beginning Of his admiuiStra-
tion. the President has advocated keep
ing the heads Of departments and Con-
gress In close touch with the interests of
the nation outside the United States
Secretary Dickinson went to the Canal
Zone in the spring. and after his return
the President talked the matter over
with Mr.. Towney. and 1t was then de-
cided the Appropriations Committee
should make the trip. Col GoethaIs
heard Of the suggestion. and he wrote
TO Mr.. Tawney extending his invitation.
Further than that. the committee will
leave New York in n government vessel
on November 6. and stop at Havana
either going or on the return trip. No
plans for the party have been announced.

1.-THE WISE OLD OWL"

Some folks say there's aman in the moon
And some think COLDS in the track of
the coon,
Some will say that red is the kind
To show to the world that it's tail is
behind.
But red is for danger, and O, beware!
beware!
There's trouble for some one, if this
color is there,
This talk is all vanity, the man in the
noon
Has got better sense than to believe a
coon.
Of all the creatures that inhabit the
land,
The possum, the birds, and the ground
hog band,
The animals and all the insects that
filters
Knows that all is not pure gold that
glitters.

results:
And surprise your people with the best

In the fall you'll find it's the crops that

Foes may arise and complain of the

But the OWL BRAND gets there just
the same.
Pay no attention when rivals do howl,
For nothing will equal the wise old
OWL.
When in need of a wagon of the famous
kind,
The OWL will direct you where to find
The best on the market. The con-
sumers howl,
So strong and SC durable it surprises the
OWL.

The best line of goods always on hand
