1t seems safe prediction 10 state
that there will be found but one man
in the entire country making a living
from bottling the smoke Of burning
hickory wood. This man, who lives
in Kansas City, contends that his bot
tied smoke, let loose in an air tight
compartment in which meat has been
placed, will produce the same effect
upon the meat as though cured by
hickory smoke in the usual manner.
Nor would the uninitiated expect to
find profit in raising bullfrogs for their

Topeka, Kan.-Stufting cleaned rab-

of the state has enabled many hunt

said warrants probably would be

CUMMIkS HITS
RECIPROCITY BILL
lowan Offers important Amendments
to measure-Makes Attack
on Coalition.

Washington.-Referrirg to the con-
sideration of the Canadian reciprocity
question as the drama now in prog
ress in the senate of the United
States" Senator Cummins of Iowa
delivered a speech on the reciprocity
bill and offered important amendments
to its agricultural provisions
These amendments proposed to adj
nit free from Canada both raw and
manufactured agricultural products,
including fresh meats, canned meats,
barley, malt, -four. iron, steel, wooden
goods, cotton goods. silk and leather
goods.
Senator Cummins said 1t was appar-
ent Republicans and Democrats ia
voring the bill had determined to sub
nit to the repeated statement that
the president will accept no amend
ments to the Canadian, agreement
Il make no comment on this situa-
tion,'' said he, save that it seems to
me an abdication of the duties of the
senate and an abandonment of it's re
sponsibilities
Senator Cummins attacked the com
bination Of regular Republicans and
Democrats to pass the reciprocity
bill.
The bill, he said, would accomplish
only two important things: Admit free
Of duty the agricultural products Of
Canada and admit small quantity of
wood pulp and print paper.
Senator Bristow of Kansas. in
surgent Republican, declared that
President Taft does not represent the
majority of the Republican party on
the reciprocity bill
He does not represent the majority
of the Republicans in the house or
senate said he, land l do-not believe
he represents a majority Of the Re
publicans Of the country"
The senate committee on census
agreed to report the congressional re-
apportionment bill without amend
ment providing for 433 representa-
tives, Notwithstanding practically all
the committee members had expressed
themselves as opposed to the in
creased representation.
The bill provides for AZ representa-
tives over the present number, and
was framed SO as to prevent a de-
crease of the membership from any
state.
