Trouble Is With Rules.

The whole trouble lies with the
amended rules, which permit a greater
part of the time of the House to be taken
up in the consideration of all sorts OF
private legislation, leaving an average of
only two days week for the big supply
measures.
Il do not believe, however, this lead

set aside the amended rules-and you'll

LOCK WORK OF CONGRESS
So Much Time Given to Private
Measures That Supply Bills

The republican leaders in the House
Of REPRESENTATIVES are preparing TO take
the amended rules of that body-the
same ones that the insurgents are SO
cheerful about having fixed up, and want
to fix some more-by the scruff of the
neck, and throw them out Of the window.
They are saying that progress Is lmpos-
sible under these amended rules, be-
cause too much time is given to private
legislation of all kinds, and too little to
the regular annual and absolutely essen
tial money bills. One of the republican
leaders of the House, one Of the so-called

late the destinies of the House, or are

til about October /. Were this the short
session it would be impossible to pass
even the necessary appropriation bills
by March 4, and an extra session wouIu

The Tale of the Comets Tail.

According to astronomers, the
tail Of Halley's cement went on a
strike one night last week. What
particular class of its celestial sis
tiers invited the demonstration, or
what concessions from the denizens
of space were exacted, is yet a secret.
The brunt Of ire was spent upon the
earth, and like the strikes Of labor
against capital, fell harmless, ex
cept in dissipation Of energy. The
passing of the tail is tale that is
told, and like the Tale Of Two
Cities, = is the Dicken : Of tale. "
The tail, like the tale of the wandere,
was composed Of gas, and pre-
sented as impotent front to common
sense as the veritable tail did 20
matter. If this tail had been pic
tured as the tail OF some celestial
cow that supplies milk to the milky
way, swishing nebulous flies from
the comets orbit. it would have had
the color of novelty, which at least.
would have robbed ii of much alb
surdity. The swish Of the tail was
not heard by the denizens of earth.
Not a star was hicked from the firma-
ment, and our own world exists IN
marred, whirling through its accus-
toned orbit II told you so, and
Just as | expected, " is now on every

they are scarce at that price. High

they Law it by And it is the very
best thing they can do. They will get

More money is to be made per acre

It will be a blunder worse than
crime not to plant peas. Soon it will

Shipping Hogs from the Mississippi
Delta

Shipping hogs from the Delta cOun-
try of Mississippi is something new.
Heretofore that section has been an
importer of all its meats and fee L
stuffs, depending entirely upon the
cotton crop Since it has been demon
strated that stock and general farming
there is not only most profitable, but
it is the logical farm method, numbers
Of planters have determined to diver
sify to a large extent, especially turn
ing their attention to hogs and other
live stock Several of the largest land
owners have recently placed on their
plantations numbers Of cattle ana hogs
Of good breed, and are raising alfalfa.
Within a short time the Delta will not
only be supplying its own foodstuffs
but will be a large shipper of cattle
and hogs to the outside markets. In
deed, it looks as if that time were
practically at hand. The novelty of a
shipment of home produced hogs was
witnessed at Greenwood, Miss, in
March, when the first ear load was for
warded from that place to a buyer at
Rives, Tenn.
With the production and shipment of
live stock the opportunity furnished
by the rich Delta lands for the general
farmer, for the homeseeker, who wish
es either a large or small farm, will
be greater than ever. In the immed-
late neighborhood of Greenwood at
least one large plantation has been di-
vided into small farms for settlers.

than . pounds each. The plants are
planted in rows, three feet each way
