Washington. July 23.-Will the
President sign?
With the end OF the conference
over the now famous Payuc-Aldrieh
bill close at hand. the question has
become the by-word of Washington.
Some ask: Will the President
have the courage to .. X the bill:
Others: Will the President have
the courage TO refuse to sign the
bill?
1t will be grave moment for the
new president when the Payne-Al-
drieh bill is laid before him for his
signature Upon his action will IN
all probability hang the success or
failure of his administration. In the
moment that he decides what course
he will pursue as to signing or re-
fus, ,g to sign he will be making OF
unmaking his political future.
And as matter of fact no one
can say whether as a political move
it would be wiser for the President
TO do one thing than the other, be
cause no one can read the future for
a certainty.
Here is the situation the Presi-
dent finds himself in.

wholly disregarded
For instance the labor cost in the
cotton manufacturing industry in
the United States is 20 per cent. If
the workmen of Europe received no
pay whatever, the amount OF pro-
lection to equalize the labor cost
here and abroad would be 20 per

Under such circumstances said
Mr.. TAFT, 1T must be admitted, that
the tariff is greater than the differ

should therefore be reduced.

Chicago. - Health Commissioner
Evans in his effort to reduce epidem-
ic diseases to the minimum, has
launched a crusade against lace cur
tains, says the Record-Herald. He
says:
Bad air is the cause of considerable
ill-health and lace curtains, peculiar
as that may seem, play their part in
producing the bad air. The first
woman who placed lace curtains on
her windows did so in order to keep
out the dirt and permit only pure air
to enter the home.
"Other women who followed her
custom, however, thought of the
beauty of the curtains and purchased
better and better curtains. until today
they are afraid to open their windows
to let In the air for fear the dust will
injure them"

II. r. Novel; formerly director OF tho
experiment farm department Of the
Agricultural college of Wyoming in
his paper on Conservation Of Mos
ture the Basis Of Dry Farming" says:
1T may be very well for the scien-
tist to say that twelve inches Of rain
fall would be needed, even If all were
actually used by the plants to produce
certain number Of bushels OF wheat,
but If a farmer actually grows that
number of bushels with less amount
of rainfall, the experiments have n
shadow Of doubt cast upon them. In
all such calculations, however, it
must be remembered that under the
system Of dry farming here adyocat-
ed, two years moisture must be con-
served for one crop.
The conservation of soil moisture
by cultivation has been known in a
somewhat vague way for great
many years, but every year that so
much vegetation is being done as at
present on dry farming methods,
there will be something new found
out about the best ways of retaining
for use Of the plant the moisture
that comes into the soil.
