stimulate them to greater activity In
their work. and diversity In their crops.

phases OF life and activity on the farm.

to the scientific preparation of land, fer
tilization, cultivation, harvesting, and
marketing of crops, but horticulture, ami

CONGRESS TO MEET
IN EXTRA SESSION
ABOUT MARCH 20
At Consultation With RepubIi-
cans Thursday President
Decided to ISSUE Call to
Pass Reciprocity Bill
fRr A,.oointad praaa.l

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The last
vestige OF doubt that there win be an
extraordinary session of congress called
by the president to consider the Canadian
reciprocity agreement in the practically
certain event of the failure Of that meas
ure In the present congress disappeared
today when 1t became known that Re-
publican leaders had been called to the
White House for a consultation
THE die is cast" said one OF the Re-
publican senators after returning TO the
capital. Mr.. Taft has decided that there
must be an extra session and that he
will call It earlier than April A."
Democratic leaders wanted month In
which to get ready for special SESSION
and President Taft was inclined to &C
cede to their wishes. 1t became known
today, however. that the Republicans IA
vored an earlier gathering II there was
no way to avoid coming back. Mr.. Taft
would be guided. It was said. by the
wishes of the Republicans. 1t was an
nounced that a conference would be held
on the subject probably Monday to decide
uoon a date. March 20 was the date talk
ed about today at the capitol.
USE DEMOCRATS NAME.
There was a feeling OF confidence among
friends of the Canadian agreement that
the Democratic house was passed with
in a week after the converting OF the
special session. II was suggested to-
day that Representative McCalfs name
would not be carried on the DILL put
that some Democrat on the new COM
mittee on ways and means would claim
the right to report the measure and take
charge OF 1t on the floor.
There was an impression also that the
senate would not delay action for more
than a month. This theory was based
upon the argument that the Republican
senate would expedite business SO as
to be- ready to adjourn before the DEM
ocratic house could submit a general
program for the tariff revision, and the
hope that under such condition of at
fairs the Democrats would be willing to
postpone their tariff revision plans until
next winter, when they would be better
prepared to proceed.

An Old Time Newspaper Man

Mr.. E. T. Harris, the New
York Life Insurance man, who
recently moved to Milbank, says
that his father who died few
months ago was probably the
oldest newspaper man in Iowa,
being 80 years of age at the time
Of his death. He had lived and
published a paper at Missouri
Valley for over fifty years. Dur
ing the last few years of his life
his son had taken the active man
agement of the paper, but the old
gentleman was regular at the Of
flee every day, and assumed GER
tain duties which he fulfilled up
to the time of his death. In his
younger days he had taken an
active part in politics and VAS
several times elected to the legis
lature as a democrat, although
the county was strongly republi-
can, and had been a democratic
candidate for congress and also
for governor.

Gaskell and MacVitty's new
play, "The Rosary, which has
had a successful three months
engagement in Chicago, a two
months engagement in New York
and three months at the Globe
Theatre in Boston, comes to the
Bentley Grand Dec. 18th. The
discriminating public will then
be given an opportunity to see
pictured before them a decided
answer to the growing unrest
and irreligion of our times. Not
that '''rhe Rosary" is a decision
merely; it is more. 1t is a faith
full picture of the misery and IN
happiness that comes upon =
man who lacks faith in the su-
preme good and it's inevitable tri-
umph, in our world.
A typical American family is
taken as fair example of every
day conditions that obtain thru
out the United States. The hus-
dand, a man immersed in bust
ness, the exacting business of
Wall Street and Stock Exchange.
Little by little he has fallen
away from the faith of his faith
ers, that faith that brought our
Republic into being. He has re-
placed it by an agnostic attitude
all too prevalent in our day and
time. The wife believes, her
confidence in an all wise, all per-
vading good has not been shaken;
and SO when storm and stress
come, the man with no anchor is
swept away by the storm of ago
ny; the woman remains steadfast,
moored by her faith to outride
the tempest.
Through all the heartbreak
and tears, through all the agony
and anguish, clear and serene
moves the wonderful figure OF g.
modern Catholic priest whose
life has been dedicated to God
and the service of his fellow men.
1t is his clear spiritual vision
that sees through the web that
has been woven about the two
people whom he loves, end it is
his faith and God-given power
that sets them free.
1t is wonderful preachment
OF faiths mighty power, of the
saving grace Of the good that lies
all about us.
The tremendous story, power
ful in it's simplicity, is interwov-
en- with the higher threads Of
sane humOr, of the sort that one
loves to take away from the the
atre and muse over in idle mo
ments.
