Discussed-High Cost Of Living
Subject Of Paper.

ROCKVILLE, Md. February 16-The
thirty-seventh annual convention of the
farmers of Montgomery county was held
at Sandy Spring yesterday under the aus
pices OF the various farmers clubs of the
county. 1t was attended by the largest
gathering within the history Of the organ
ization, probably 200 farmers and dairy
men from this and neighboring counties
being present. There was also a large
attendance Of ladies.
The convention was presided over by
the president. Mortimer O. Stabler OF
Spencerville. with Samuel p. Thomas OF
Ednor as secretary. Instructive papers
Allan Farquhar. Rust Candy. DR.. Fran
els Thomas, Charles r. Kirk, Capt. r.
w. Sylvester and others.
One of the most interesting discussions
of the day was on road construction. The
report of the roads committee was to the
effect that the macadam roads con-
structed the county are less costly
and more endurable than the roads built
under the Shoemaker law, and 1t devel-
oped In the discussion that followed that
very nearly everybody In the convention
. agreed with the committee.
a resolution was adopted indorsing the

able for farmers twenty miles from mar
ket to engage in fruit and truck farming
where only a small portion of the farm
is used for the purpose.
what effect will the present high cost
of living have on the Montgomery county
farmer?" was the subject Of a paper by
Allan Farquhar. Mr.. Farquhar took the
position that while the farmer now re-
ceives high prices. the trusts levy tributes
on what he has to buy, and as q result
the farmer is little benefited. He urged
consumers to vote independently and In
their interest as the only way to restore
normal prices.
A feature of the day was a dinner
served all present by the ladies of the
Sandy Spring neighborhood.

RIVER ICE BREAKING UP.
Likely to Disappear Before End Of

While the ice on the river is still thick
enough to obstruct navigation for sail
ing vessels 1t softened very rapidly
under the influence of the high temper
allure of yesterday and last night. and
it is thought that it will entirely dis
appear before the end of the present
week, provided very cold weather does
not come.
The weatherWise along the river front
predict plenty of frigid weather between
now and the middle of March, but they
do not look for another freeze this year
after the ice now floating up and down
the river with the tide disappears, as il is
a very rare occurrence for ice of any
consequence TO form on the Potomac
after the middle of February. Ice that
formed in January. however, has been
known to remain i'm the river and stop
navigation until after the first week in
March,

sHRIEKs COST HER $40.
Cries Of Couple Whose Wounds Are
Being Dressed Attract Police.

PITTSBuRG, Pa, February 16.1Cries
for help called the police to the home of
Brady Brown, on the north side, where
they found Brown and his wife going
through odd conto. tfons. screaming with
pain, and reviling each other between
paroxysms. No explanation was forth
coming, so both were arrested.
To the magistrate Mrs. Brown explained
that both were burned In a fire at their
home two months ago. She said her hus-
band had poured too much liniment on her
wounds and she could not help crying out.
In turn she had poured some on Mr..
Browns sores, and he, too. cried with
pain.
Mrs. Brown produced the liniment bot
tie to substantiate her statements, but
Magistrate Chris Saam. after discharging
Brown, fined Mrs. Brown $40 because she
had made the most noise.

sounding Of solemn taps and firing Of
three volleys over the graves of the
Names dead.
Representative Cordell Hull, who has in
troduced bill in Congress to raise the
wreck of the Maine and bring 1t to the
United States. was to have been present
and had expected to make a speech which
would have outlined his ideas in regard to
his proposed measure. but urgent business
at the Capitol prevented his appearance
at Arlington. Representative Keifer of
Ohio made speech. He was formerly
commander-in-chief Of the Spanish War
Veterans. Others who spoke were j. Ed

Army and Navy Union. and Rev. Eugene
Hannah. rector of st. Martins Church.
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Christine

FOUR DAYS IN PARIS
Ex-President Roosevelt to
Limit Time There.
HIGH HONORS DECLINED
Date of His Arrival, April IA, Ac-
cording to the Official
Advices.

PARIS, February 15.-M. Lard, vice
rector of the University Of Paris. has
been officially advised that Theodore
Roosevelt will reach Paris about April
IA. and that the length OF his stay will
proba bly, not exceed three or four days
The French government is anxious to
receive the former President Of the Unit
ed States with the highest honors. French
society is prepared to lionize him: the
literary, philosophical. geographical and
scientific bodies all desire to entertain
him, and the American colony would like
to give grand banquet in his honor
But Mr.. Roosevelt has discreetly al
lowed 1t to be understood that he par
ticularly desires to avoid any appearance
Of ostentation, and that he will preserve
as far as possible. merely the role OF a
man of learning. in which capacity he &C.
cepted the invitation to lecture at the
SOrbonne, extended to him through Am.
bassador Jusserand while he still occupied
the White House.
Devoid of Spectacular Features.
Mr. Roosevelt's visit to Paris, there
fore. will be devoid OF the spectacular
features which characterized ex-Presiden,
Grants visit here at the time of his tour
around the world. Mr. Grant, while not
the official guest of the nation. was re-
ceived almost like reigning sovereign
Mr.. Roosevelt's wishes will be carried out
in the main, but the government has de-
clined to forego the honor Of entertaining
him, and the ex-President has accepted
the invitation of President Fallieres to
be his guest at a dinner at the Elysee
Palace. This was arranged by Ambas-
sador Jusserand, who will make special
trip across the ocean to be present dur
ing Mr.. Roosevelt's stay.
Doubt OF Acceptance.
The exact program at the Sorbonne will
not be definitely arranged by the council
Of the university until after further con-
sultation with the ex-President. The
council would like to arrange one of its
famous fetes In his honor. at which a
Greek play would be produced. but it
doubts whether Mr.. Roosevelt would &C
,cept.
1t has been Professionally decided that
after the lecture, which will be held in
the grand amphitheater in the afternoon.
u large reception will be held in the
grand salon OF the university, at which
the lecturer will meet a brilliant assem-
blage of French savants. including 1.-The
Forty ImmOrtals." the leading French
scientists and philosophers and other us
tinguished persons
In Solemn Audience.
April Is MIR. Roosevelt will be received
in solemn audience by the institute. Of
which he is a member in virtue of his re-
cent election as an associate member of
the Academy of Political and Moral
Sciences.
Two years ago Mr.. Roosevelt accepted
an invitation to visit ex-PreSident Loubet
at his country seat on the first occasion
that he came TO France, but the brief
ness of his stay will probably compel the
abandonment OF this plan. Mr.. Roosevelt,
however. will have an opportunity to see
NJ Loubet in Paris, where he resides un-
til early in summer.

"A dollars worth of goods today could

on the high cost Of living. Much OF his
address was taken up with the measuring

different times during the past decade.
Senator Crawford quoted a bulletin of
