CANNON WAS THERE
UNEXPECTEDLY JOINS PINcHOT
IN KANSAS CITY.
BOTH MEN TO THE FRONT
Former Forester the Chief Speaker,
Though Cannon Also Had Some
thing to Say.

Kansas City, Mo.-A surprise was
sprung upon the members of the
Knife and Fork club in this city Fri
day night. when Uncle Joe" Cannon
speaker Of the house Of representa-
tives. appeared at the entrance of the
clubs banquet hall beside Clifford
Pinchot, the clubs guest Of honor
and the principal speaker of the
evening.

arm to the speaker and started to.
ward the guests table.
Uncle Joe" gently pushed Mr..
Pinchot ahead. declining his arm. de.
string TO emphasize the fact that he
realized the ex-forester was the
specially invited guest of the evening.
Mr.. Cannon's appearance at the din
ner was accidental, he said. He ar
rived here at 6 o'clock and left four
hours later for Winfield. Kas. where
he will begin speech-making tour
OF the state Saturday.
II was before the Knife and Fork
club that Speaker Cannon made a
speech attacking the insurgents q
few months ago.
Mr.. Pinchot spoke on THE Conser-
walton of Our Natural Resources"
Mr.. Cannon before going into the ban.
quet room said he would not make a
speech. Mr.. Pinchot spoke in part as
follows:
when Congress m a n Tawney's
mandment to the sundry civil bill put
stop to the work of the national
conservation commission. the Nation
al Conservation association stepped
into the breach and went on with the
work.
The association is on the firing
line in the conservation fight. 1t is
doing what would otherwise not be
done. The men and women who com.
pose it are rendering genuine and
effective service in the great cause
that means prosperity for our people
now and hereafter If the National
Conservation association were not in
existence there would be no organized
fight to stop the plundering of coal
lands. the appropriation of water
power sites by private interests and
in general the absorption of our
natural resources by those who have
the smallest rights to them"
Mr.. PinchoI and Speaker Cannon
engaged in an extemporaneous debate
upon the subject of conservation, and
while each man gave expression to
the highest personal regard for the
other and both agreed that the con-
servation of the nations natural re.
sources should be encouraged. they
differed on the question as to who
was the father of conservation.
Mr.. Cannon explained that he was
on his way to Winfield. Kas.. to
make his first Chautauqua appear

He said that conservation and re

Wear Cotton UhdercIothes.
(From Lcslic's Weekly

Should wool. G Itt0n or linen be worn next to
the skin: weol has its dcvotces, who would
look on describing their merino or flannel
vest OF drawers as a risk Of life. Medical
opinion has radically changed in recent
years. and now many, if not most, doctors
favor cotton or linen next the skin. wool
absorbs perspiration and retains it; it
ahsorbs it with difficulty 1t first, bat
surrcndcrs it to the surrounding air with
even greater difficulty, Cotton, Oh the other
hand, asks only an opportunity to dry,
which it does as rapidly as possibly, the
best plan in cold weather is to wear
cotton or linen next to the skin, with wool
outerclothing. the wool excludes moisture
and cold, while the cotton absorbs the
perspiration quickly and dries even more
quickly. This it does without chilling the
body if the latter has an outer covering OF
wool. in this climate where houses and
offices are generally overheatcd il winter.
and the transition from indoors to outdoors
is attended by a far greater change in
temperature than i'm milder climates, where
the houses are not kept as hot rs they are

benefits FROM ~ExTERMInATING
TICKS.
Practical Advantages Realized in Areas
Freed from These Pests.

The benefits of discriminating cattle
ticks are being realized in q very practi-
cal way in the parts OF the South that
have been freed from these pests and re-
leased from quarantine. Dr.. A. D. Mel
vim, chief of the United States bureau OF
animal industry, in his annual report re-
Gently submitted to the Secretary OF
agriculture, has the following to say on
this subject;
IAN Investigation recently made by the
bureau in this territory shows that great
improvement has already resulted from
this work. More cattle are being raised,
and a better grade Of breeding stock is be,
ing introduced; calves grow faster, ana
cattle put on flesh more rapidly during
the grazing season and go into the winter
in better condition because or the absence
of the ticks; they CAN be IN lrketed with
out quarantine restrictions, and higher
prices are being obtained; dairy COWS give
a larger yield Of milk, and values OF farm
lands are enhanced. ASIDE from it's W
observations, the bureau has received from
persons in the released territory numer-
letters and other expressions confirming
the foregoing facts and testifying to the
great benefits following the determination
Of the ticks.
"Ihe difference between the prices
realized for cattle from the tickinfested
region and the prices of cutie OF similar
grades from above the quarantine line
ranges from S2.25 to IS a head at the
principal northern livestock markets,
without taking into account the improve
menti in quality and weight of cattle be-
cause OF the eradication Of the ticks. AS
more than 1000, 900 cattle from the quar-
antined area are annually sold in these
markets, it can easily be seen that the ex.
termination Of the ticks means an annual
increase of at least $4,000, 900 in the prices
obtained for southern cattle sold In north
ern markets. In addition to this, the IN
crease in prices of cattle sold locally In
the South would represent a large sum
This local increase has already been round
to amount to from So to Sis a head in the
territory recently freed from ticks. An
agricultural official of n of the Southern
States reports that calves in the tlck-free
area bring just double the price that can
be obtained for similar calves in the tlck-ln-
tested region.
Heretofore it has been impracticable to
improve the quality of southern cattle by
introducing fine breeding animals from
other sections, because such animals were
liable to contact Texas fever and die unless
protected by incubation. Furthermore,
it is impossible for animals to attain
good growth and to thrive when they are
heavily infested with ticks. With the
eradication Of the ticks, however, the
southern farmers are enabled to produce
good breeding animals and to improve the
grade of their stock

bration, by Captain and Mrs. in. Will
Jams of their fiftieth anniversary.
Captain Williams is ~afrectionately known
to the children of this place Grand Pa
Conductor" As firm and uncompromis-
ing in the discharge of his dnties as the
solid rock, he is never -the-less the soul of
kindness.
Fifty years together as man and wife
. Let him who would pronounce marriage
a. failure, contemplate this couple stand
ing in the golden glow Of life's autumn,
ripened in affection and sympathy! Let
him look to their happy state with their
children rising up to bless them in their
old age! And then, let him say, if there is
anything in life more beautiful.
In congratulating Captain and Mrs
Williams the Press and Banner would al
most presume to speak for every nan
woman and child in Abbeville.

Mr.. Aiken doubtless believes that owing

that this place, above all others, is the
proper place in which to try the merits OF
dement's of prohibition.
The bill introduced, if enacted into law
will give the Westinghouse a working
base for absolute prohibition. If liquor is

bill, the fault will be with the public Off
