on which he had raised the year be-
fore only twenty bushels of potatoes
to the acre. At that none of them
were large enough for market. The
farmer was induced by an agent of
the Department to try an experiment
with his land. He was supplied with
Government seed potatoes, told how
to do the trick, and without the use
of fertilizer he came across with 200
bushels to the acre, and since then
has raised nothing but potatoes.

gument for greatly increased appro-

A GOOD NIGHT STORY.

Once upon time a famous man
the mayor and the chief men of the
little town said they would present
the famous man with some figs and
cream, because those were the most
important things which were sold in
the little town.
The figs and cream We're placed in
beautiful silver basins and the mayor
and the chief men carried one silver
basin each. But before they set out
the mayor said to the others: ''As
you do not know what to do before
such famous man, you must watch
me and do exactly as 1 do
Now there was a step down into
the room where the famous man was
waiting, but the proud mayor was
marching with his head held so high
up that he did not see the step at all.
So he fell down and went sprawling
right into the room, and the cream
from the silver basin flew all over his
whiskers, and the silver basin rolled
into a corner of the room. Oh, what
sight he was! And he was so
frightened that he just sat on the
floor and stared at the famous man.
The other chief men of the little
town were following the mayor, and
when they saw him fall they thought
they had to do the same. So they
ut down on the floor and dipped
their whiskers in the cream, and then
threw their basins into the corner.
The famous man was very much
surprised, for they must have looked
very droll with their creamy whisk-
ers.-Newark Call.

Washington, D. C.-Members OF
Congress who insist that the salary
of $500 a year, which they receive
now, does not go as far as their old
salary of $4,000 did a few years ago
are much agitated over the rapidly
increasing prices of the necessities OF
life. This subject promises to be
talked about a great deal in the House
and Senate this year. 1t is regarded
as practically certain that a joint
commission will be appointed to in
vestigate.
A resolution by Mr.. Hull, Demo
crat, of Tennessee, provides for a
committee of seven Representatives
and five Senators to investigate If the
high prices are due to:
I. Trusts and combinations.
2. The increased volume of money
3. Increase i'm city population.
4. Increase in demand and de-
crease in supply.
). Increase of the Governments
bonded debt, or
g. The tariff.
This resolution declares that the
prices of the necessities of life have
increased from eleven to thirty per
cent in the last twelve months. 1t is
asserted that the high prices of beef
have enabled the Armour Packing
Company to make net profit of more
than thirty-five per cent. on it's capt.
talization Mr.. Hull charges that the
price of sugar is two cents a pound
higher in the United States than in
foreign countries and that this CON-
modify is controlled by the Sugar
Trust
The most interesting development
in the high price problem at the Capt.
toll was a carefully prepared speech
by Mr.. Douglas, of Ohio, who succeed
ed that eminent statistician and prog
nosticator, Charles Henry Grosvenor
Ever since Mr.. Douglas was attending
performance in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, and pair
of opera glasses fell from the third
balcony and bounced off his head he
has been deeply interested in weighty
problems. He has given great deal
of thought to this subject, and turned
loose the result in a 7000-word
speech.
Mr.. Douglas has a theory that he
thinks would settle this high price
proposition. He believes that if coun-
try life could be made sufficiently at
tractive to intelligent men and wom-
en-, farm houses fitted with open
plumbing, pianolas and mission wood
