This is the Locust Year.

This is the year that the II
year locust is due again, and in a
few weeks he will make his ap-
pearance on the farms of the
middle west. At least the au-
thorities on locust lore and super
stition are most sure he will and
they have never been mistaken
in the past. No one seems to
know exactly where the II year
locust comes from, but it is a
matter of record that he does
show up regularly just the same.
The thing that is interesting
the farmers and the old-timers
most is whether he will bring a
''W" on his wings, or a ''P" as
is hoped "W" on a II year locust
wings means war. There is no
reason under the sun that is
known as to why it should always
be either wv" or ''P," but those
are the only two letters noticed,
says the Hartford Times Ga
zette.
Locust lore experts have a
good deal of statistical backing
when they assert that if the "W"
is on the wings it will surely
mean war and if the ''P" is on
the wings it will surely mean
peace.
I'm 1898, the last time the 10
Gusts were here" said an old
commercial traveller the other
day, the wings bore a decided
W. and we promptly got into
war with Spain. In 1876 l saw
the wings myself and there was
a "P," following that we had
peace and plenty.
81 don't remember so far back
and 1859, that is to say, / don't
remember locusts back in those
days, but l have been told by
scores of farmers that the II
year locust showed up that year
and 'W' was plain on each wing.
The civil war followed.
"Some of the older generations
of farmers have records in the
old family bible to prove that the
former visitation of 17-year To-
Gusts presaging the Mexican war
by bearing the wv on their
wings. can tell you the farm
ers are not anxious to have them
come, but they are all supersti-
tious as to their verify as har-
bingers.
when you come think of it,
this letter business seems like a
very foolish superstition. But
when you know that they do
bear either the wv or the 'P'

SENATE AND HOUSE AT ODDS OVER
 RAILROAD BILL
Special from United Press.) )

Washington May 2-So many differ ences exist in the Senate and House
 over the railroad bill that it appears today that the wisdom of a Solomon
 will be required to prevent complete | failure of legislation on this subject.
 Partial consideration of the measure
 which holds the boards in both branches of Congress has already re- suited in the adoption of conflicting changes upon which compromises will | be reached directly after a heavy bat | tie.
 The Senate has formally agreed with the President that the judges of the commerce court should be appointed by the man in the White House. The House has formally turned down that proposition. It has also rejected the suggestion that the appointments be
 made by the Chief Justice of the Su-
 preme Court. The House has decided that all justices of the Supreme Court
 shall have a voice in the selection Of the commerce court judges. Changes in the bill as approved by
 the President and introduced by Rep resentative Townsend in the House in- clude amendments to prohibit railroad directors from serving as an officer Of another railroad. to make telegraph and telephone companies subject to the bill, to have the Interstate Commerce Commission make a physical valua- tiOn Of railroad property and to ex- tend the provisions of the bill to steamships plying between this coun-
 try and Hawaii.
 The commerce court was kept in the
 bill by a tie vote in the House sit
 ting as a committee of the whole and
 the physical valuation proviso was
 adopted much to the delight of the
 sponsors of the measure.
 Big fights on the Hong and short
 haul agreements between railroads as
 to rates and the consideration by the
 commission of the issue of the stocks
 and bonds by the railroads, still con-
 front the Senate and House. When
 they are ended there will be two half
 passed railroad bills differing radical
 ly in important parts and the legisla- tive art of coaxing, promising and threatening will be tested to the limit in the effort to get a compromise. While the time of the finish is in doubt. the prevailing guesses are that the House will reach final vote in about a week and the Senate in about two weeks. Then will come the con- ference and the House insurgents have already reached an agreement to fight the conference report.
 In the Senate there are signs of ulti- mate support in the bill. It is be- lieved' the final battle will be in the House.
