and one which involves a test of the
Sherman law never brought before.
The governments case will depend
largely upon the interpretations Of

The successful boys from each
State were not always the ones that
raised the biggest crops. The de-

the contest, made it a requisite that
the largest crop should be raised with
the least expenditure. The high
score in the whole group was made
by Jerry Moore. But he was not CON
sidered the most successful. He had
raised 228 "a bushels, but it had cost
him 43 cents a bushel to do 1t. There
was a boy from Arkansas who raised
only 119 bushels, but he did it at a
cost Of 8 cents a bushel. He was con-
sidered the real thing in corn club

And THEY LAUGHED:
New Senator, MIR. Young, of
Iowa, Lectures Colleagues.
RIVAL TO ARKANSAS SENATOR
Declares That 1t Would be Best For
Country For Congress to Remain
Idle Two "SoIid" Years-Says Edi-
tors Are the Real Power.

WASHINGTON. - Senator Lafayette
Young of Iowa gave the legislative
body, of which he had been a member
but ten days, the surprise of its e1-
istence. He had prepared to make an
attack on his colleague, Senator Cum
minis, who seeks passage OF a concur
rent resolution changing the rules OF
the Senate and House so as to per-
nit peice meal revision of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law. This he did and
more. Dofing his toga, when he
arose, he lectured the grave and dig
nifed Senators from the standpoint
of an editor, which he is in private
life.
The Senate gasped and then laugh
ed when Mr.. Young told it that the
country would feel relieved were Con-
gress to adjourn altogether for two
solid" years, declaring that "legis-
lation is. a menace at times"
LET us have a cessation Of hostili-
ties. This is the only way to insure a
new era for prosperity" 1t gasped
again when he alluded to its mem
bers in breezy fashion az boys" and
when he declared that the editors OF
the country, and not Congress, ruled
the country, the galleries Joined with
Senators in general hilarity.
Mr.. Young opposed all efforts at
revision of the existing tariff law, be-
cause, as he coptended, the law pro-
tects the interests of the farmer. He
had a great fear, he said, that ulti-
mately the adoption Of the resolution
would prove injurious to the great
agricultural interests.
"The principal complaint against
the tariff as regards prices" he said,
has had reference to the products of
the farm"
my colleague would take away
from himself and myself the right OF
introducing the wooden schedule as a
substitute for a proposed amendment
which might put agricultural pro-
ducts on the free list. If the propos-
ed rule should become the law of the
two houses we would be denied the
privilege of fighting for our interests
by the arrangement and Introduction
of the interests of others"
