Biographies say that he was a COW

travel quite extensively, but he was
never cowboy, he was not miner,
and he never made a pill In all his
life. These yarns always brought a
smile to his face.

Just year ago o. Henry in an inter

Washington, March 30. =" "Unless
someone can find way to repeal the
law Of supply and demand, there is
no remedy for increasing prices" as
serted Samuel q. Cowan, OF Fort Worth,
Texas, counsel for the Cattle Raisers'
association of Texas, before the senate
food investigating committee.
The people of the United States need
never expect cheap meat"
Mr.. Cowan told the committee that
in the future it would be necessary for
cattle raisers to maintain as high or
even higher prices than AT present, in
order to keep pace with the increased
cost of grazing land and feed, and high
wages paid to induce men to work on
farms. Mr.. Cowan said cities ar turn
ing the men away from farming to such
an extent that it is almost impossible
to get sufficient help to make produce
tion keep pace with the growing de-
mand.

continued the chase for about one and

a few minutes MIR. Seabuck was at
the residence of Mr.. j. N. Pritchard,
two holes in his hat and telephoning

TO INSTALL
WATER WORKS
MONEY WELL SPENT.
The Carnegie Funds Will Pay
Washington College Out
OF Debt.

The Comet carried information yes.
terday morning that the trustees of
Washington and Tusculum Colleges
had agreed to accept the S2l 200 donat.
ed by Andrew Carnegie.
The money was given in response to
- ersona appeal from President Chas.
o. Gray, of the institution. Mr.. Car
negie agreed TO give the amount after n
brief conference following which the
secretary of his educational fund per-
fected all details with the aid of DIR.
Gray. 1t was specified that $10,500 of
the amount should be used to pay for
the new chapel building just completed
at the Washington plant and the re-
mainder for the erection of library
building at the Tusculum plant. The
chapel building at Washington College
was erected in accordance With vote
of the trustees, whereby that amount
of money was taken from the endow-
meut fund and the college farm was
transferred to the endowment fund.
When Mr.. Carnegie agreed to pay for
the building this left the farm unen-
numbered as an asset of the institution.
1t was therefore voted yesterday to re-
tnrn the farm to the college as an asset
in accordance with its original status.
Work on the library building al Tus-
culum will be commenced at an early
date. The Carnegie funds are on de-
posit in Jersey City bank and SUBJ
ject ro the action of the board of trus-
tees Of the college.
In addition to the new building
erected at the Washington branch of
the school, asystem of water works is
to be installed there at once at a cost of
81, 200.
