The total yield per acre was much I'm
favor of the bronze grass.
4. Bronze grass made fair crop OF
hay in 1900, while timothy failed.
s. Bronze hay contains about twice
as much protein as timothy.
6. Bronze hay does not contain more
fiber than the average for timothy
grown in all parts of the United
States.
7. Bronze grass sends its roots down
deeper into the soil than timothy and
furnishes a great mass of roots in
the first foot of soil and hence the
soil may be expected to blow less
when plowed.
8. Soils on which bronze grass has
been grown contain more organic mat
ter and humus than those on which
timothy has been grown.
9. Bronze grass Is a better hamus
former than timothy and leaves the
soil in better chemical and physical
condition than does the timothy.

CALLS EXTRA SESSION
Taft Yields to Democratic Wishes by
Fixing April a as Date.


Because the senate ignored his re-
quest that the bill carrying into effect
the reciprocity agreement with Can
ada be passed, President Taft called
an extra session of congress, to con.
vene on April 4, ito determine wheth-
er congress shall by necessary legis-
lation make operative the agreement" "
The president and most of the Re
publicans wanted the session to be-
gin on an earlier date, and the time
finally was set as it was to please the
Democratic leaders, who will be in
control of the new house.
At first the president wanted the
session to begin March Is, but some
body called his attention to the fact
that day would be a Wednesday, and
the president then decided on Monday,
March 20.
Afterward Champ Clark, who will be
speaker of the next house, and Repre-
sentative Oscar Underwood, whose
committee must originate all tariff
bills, urged a later date. Their argu-
ment was that some time must be
taken in selecting committees of the
new house and preparing it's organiza.
ton. Even if the extra session were
convened Immediately that must be
done. If month were given it could
be done by the ways and means com
mittee in the vacation.

DEMOCRATS IN
SENATE SPLIT
Bailey Group to Wage War on
Progressive Faction.
WILL HANDICAP PARTY
Hostlities Will Begin Early In Extra
Session and Progressive Legislation
May Be Blocked.

way DC Dl0SNONs
AS a result of the resignation of
Senator Bailey and his withdrawal of
the same in the closing hours of the
Sixty-first congress, a split among the
Democratic senators is expected in
the extra session of congress-, which
will convene on April 4.
Baileys statement to the effect that
he had decided to recall his resigna-
tion came eight hours after his SEN
sational announcement of his dicision
to make his exit from public life.
His ostensible reason for the re-
calling of his resignation was the fact
that he had been urged to remain in
the senate by Governor Colquitt, of
Texas, and by group of Democratic
senators.
Eleven of the conservative Demo
cratic senators, most of them follow
ers of Bailey in the senate, signed a
telegram to Governor Colquitt urging
that Bailey remain.
Those who signed this telegram
were Bacon, Foster, Overman, Talia-
ferro, Paynter, Bankhead, Percy, John
ston, Taylor, Watson and Fletcher.
OF this list, Bankhead, Fletcher,
Foster, Johnson, Paynter and Watson,
a majority of the eleven, voted to en-
able Lorimer to retain his seat in the
senate.
The progressive Democrats of the
senate and house were in the utmost
jubilation when they learned that
Bailey was going to quit.
Fear Bailey as an Obstacle.
They look on the Texas senator ss
the great obstacle in the way of pro-
gressive Democratic legislation in
congress. They fear that in the tariff
and other matters he will take a
stand that will prevent them from go
ing into the campaign Of 1912 with a
record for progressive legislation that
will appeal to the country.
Senator Bailey's decision to quit
the senate was caused by his realiza.
tion that his power in that body was
waning and that a growing and more
aggressive body of senators on the
Democratic side was getting ready to
go ahead without consulting him.
Senator Stone, of Missouri; Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma; Senator Culber
son, of Texas, and one or two others
are foremost in this group.
The immediate cause of Baileys &C
ton was his anger because, on Sena
tor Ovens resolution for the approval
of the constitutions of New Mexico
and Arizona, all but three of the Dem
ocrats voted favorably. This Bailey
construed to be approval of the initia
tive, referendum and recall. which
are features of the Arizona constitu
tion.
AS matter of fact the real issue
between the two wings of the Demo
Gratis in the senate is much broade,
than the initiative, referendum anc
recall, which Bailey says he canno
stand for. 1t is question of whethe
the Democracy shall pursue an ultra
conservative and reactionary course
b or whether it shall be progressive.
Senator Bailey's attitude is we'll in
dicated, not alone his leadership il
behalf of Lorimer, but by his opposi
tion to reciprocity and by other mat
ters.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1T Is An Internal Disease And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.

An luttEuaE kArAnCoys
The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system SO
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get a
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
Rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases.
1t has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the peisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes it's cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
| dealers generally at soc. and 81 a bottle.
