What lovely roses" He turned i'm

like some of them. The lady said that
she would be very grateful, as she want

There's really no resemblance at all.
Don't you agree with me?" Quite"

Burn The Brush

Most farmers take pride in keep
ing the trees on their premises Dor
dering on the highway nicely trim.
med but many neglect to burn or
remove the refuse and when the ov-
erseer of roads and force come
along, they find it necessary to
spend more or less time clearing
such rubbish away, thus consum-
ing much valuabl time that should
be employed otherwise. Farmers
and others give attention to this
matter and do 80 no more.

FARMERS MAKE ATTACK
ON COTTON EXCHANGE

Washington, Feb. 12.-''This ques-
tion involves hundreds of millions of
dollars and the welfare of millions of
people," declared T. J. Brooks, of
Tennessee, speaking for the Farmers
National Union in opening the hearing
on the anti-option bills before the
house committee on agriculture.
The proposed legislation is designed
to prohibit dealing in futures on boards
of trade and exchanges. The commit
tee room was crowded with congress
men from states interested
Mr.. Brooks declared that dealings
in cotton futures were no more neces-
safy than in wheat and wool and farm
IMPLEMENTS.
ION moral principle, he asked, ''is
one class of citizens obliged to make
up for the losses of another class? For
where one gains another must lose
The original intention Of the cotton
exchange to bring the buyer and seller
together has been eliminated in the de-
velopment of the present exchange
practice.
He declared the exchanges aggravat-
ed the natural fluctuations.
Under the shadow of the exchanges
competition among local buyers had
been eliminated in the South, he said,
and he charged the existence of a tacit
understanding in the cotton and tobac-
co belts for division of territory.

SOME FOREST LANDS
RESTORED TO ENTRY

Washington, Feb. 12.-As result
of conferences between the secretaries
of the interior and of agriculture with
the president, at least four million
acres of agricultural lands within ma
tional forests are to be restored to en-
try. Approximately 6oo.OOO acres OF
these lands lie in the states of Oregon
and Washington. The exact definition
of the boundaries of areas to be re-
stored are not yet fixel. Statements
that the land has already been restored
are in error.
The lands to be restored are some
that the forestry bureau itself has de-
termined are best suited for arglcul-
ture, and not needed for forestry pur-
poses. It is possible other restoratlons
will be made later

MEYER NAVAL PLAN
TO BE GIVEN TRIAL

Washington, Feb. 12.-The long
drawn out dispute in the house COM
mittee on naval affairs over the SUBJ
ject of indorsing the plan of Secretary
Meyer for the reorganization of the
navy is practically settled, it is sta ed,
and the committee will take action
next week which will be in effect ten
tative approval of the secretary's ideas.
The secretary will be given the op-
portunity to demonstrate in the next
year the worth Of his plans. Represen-
tative Dawson of Iowa furnished the
suggestion by which the committee and
the secretary reached common under
standing. Under Mr.. Dawsonn s plan,
which it Els expected the committee
will adopt, appropriations for 1911
will be made under the old system, but
Secretary Meyer will be vested with
authority to distribute the expenditures
as he may see fit. To guard against a
diversion Of funds from their proper
channels, it will be required that the
money be spent solely for the purpose
intended by congress
This will permit the secretary to di-
vert the funds from one bureau to an
other, in accordance with his plan, and
will still confine them to the objects
intended. The committee is expected
to require further that when the secre-
tary submits his estimates to congress
for the year 1912 he must do so under
the existing apportionment. This will
avoid giving sanction of law to the
Meyer plan and at the same time will
give the secretary the opportunity of
trying out his reorganization idea for
year.
The Meyer plan provides for the alb
clifton of the bureau Of equipment,
the placing of all naval construction
under the direction of line officers and
a Encouragement of the duties of some
other departments.
Rear Admiral Hutch I. Gone, chief
of the bureau of steam engineering,
was before the committee in an en-
deayor to refute charges made by Ad-
miral Capps, chief of the bureau of
construction, who told the committee
some days ago that Admiral Cone fig
uIss on certain estimates and expendi-
lures were incorrect. Admiral Cones
explanations seemed to be satisfactory
to the committee.

value of nearly i've bill
ion dollars, while they we're increased
on those articles which had consump-
ton value of less than one billion dol
lars.
Certainly it was not promised that
the rates on Injuries should be reduced.
The revenues were falling off, there
was deficit promised and it was es-
sential that the revenue should be IN
creased. It was no violation OF the
promise to increase the revenues by
increasing the tax on luxuries provid.
ed there was downward revision on all
other articles. The only substantial
defect in compliance with the promise
of the platform was the failure to
reduce woolens.
Revision Not Perfect
''Does that defect so color the action
of the Republican party as to make
it a breach of faith leading to it's con-
I don't think so. Parties
are like men-they are not perfect.
The change which this tariff affected
was a marked change downward in the
rate of the d.ties and it was in recog-
milton by the party that the time had
come when instead of increasing duties
they must be decreased, when the
party recognized in it's platform that
the proper measure of protection was
the difference in cost of production of
articles here and abroad, including q

More Than Was Promised
Concerning the Republican party's
efforts to carry out it's promises with
regard to railroad rates, rebates and
discrimination. the ppresident said:
IA bill to carry out the platform
pledges has been introduced in both
the house and senate and is now being
considered before the appropriate COM
mittees of these two bodies, and tt ere
is every hope that the bills thus intro
duced will pass. Indeed, this railroad
measure goes further than the promises
of the platform, for while it subjects
the issue of stocks and bonds to the
restrictive supervision of the commits
sion and prevents future watering Of
stocks and forbids the acquisition by
a railroad company of stock in COM
peting line, it also puts very much
more power into the hands of the COM
mission for the regulation Of rates, and
it facilitates in every way the ease Of
supervision by the commission.
Mr.. Taft expressed the belief that
the platform pledges regarding conser-
Walton of natural resources would also
be kept.
