"Will you promise to support my
daughter in the style to which she
is accustomed if l consent to your
m%arriage?" demanded old Skin
flint, when Dolby made his formal
proposal.
"Well, I'm promise TO be toll
erably close with her, Mr.. SkinAint,
said Dolby, 'but, you know, Pm a
soft hearted cuss, and I'm afraid
she'll be able to wheedle a few things
out of me that you were strong
enough to refuse her"

HigginsviIle Notes,

business man, that is. They
have to walk fast. They are all
On committee. About five diff
ferent committees are working up
the Fourth Of July picnic alone,
Gnother is busy with the Chau-
tauqua, three or four are com
pleting plans for the Lafayette
county fair, one is working on
the mineral springs proposition
and one is trying to see to it
that the cross state highway
doesn't miss this good town.
Higginsville has not been cele-
brating the Fourth in late years,
but it looks as if the celebration
this year would be a big sue
cess. Several hundred dollars
has been raised for prizes, music
and fire works, a noted speaker
has been secured, a band is to
brought from Kansas City
and there will be plenty Of sport
for those who like baseball and
athletics.
The program for the Higgins
vile Chautauqua is out this
week, and it is a program to
make Higginsville happy. Not
only are such orators as Bryan
y and Hobson on the program but
two of the musical organizations
which will appear here r under
contract to make a European
tour including London, Paris and
Berlin after this summers Chau-
tauqua work is over.
Had you any idea that flour
made in Lafayette county was
being shipped as far away as
Cuba? 1t is. Down in Havana
the children cry for it. A month
ago the Higginsville milling
company sent a car load of flour
t Havana as an experiment. Or
ders have been coming in ever
since, and this week the local
mills shipped the fourth car load
to Havana.

MILLER ATTACKS UNDERWOOD BILL

Charlotte, N. C., July 21.-R. M. Mi'- yer. Jr, chairman of the tariff commit tee of the American Cotton Manufac- turels' association, today gave out the of- ficiai statement on behalf of the associa- ton protesting against the proposed re- auction in the cotton tariff schedule:
 The so-called Underwood bill on the revision of the cotton schedule is a bill formed apparently solely in the interest of the importer and foreigner-wholly un- fair and unjust to us-ignoring entire ly the interest of the American cotton manufacturer and the American laborer and if enacted into a law will turn cot ton mills of our country into soup houses"
 Based upon todays prices of cotton yarns, as best that I can figure, in order that the manufacturers of this country may meet the reduction in the proposed schedule and to compete with imported yarns, it will necessitate a cut somewhere from "A to 50 per cent in the wages of our cotton mill operatives. This means pauper wages to our American laborer fo meet the pauper wages of Europe. Will American labor stand for it? The Amer- can cotton manufacturers protest against if ''

VETO CHAMPIONS
 MARSHAL FORCES
!. .England's Veto Bill Crisis Marking Time While
 Leaders Work

London, July e7-The. political crisis
 arising out of the veto bill is merely
 marking time, while the respective gen.
 erals marshal their forces. Not only Is
 Lord Iansdowne constantly receiving fresh adherents but large body of the
 Lansdowne peers are voluntarily offer ing to vote with the government should that unpaIatable course be needed to save the veto bill and avoid the crea- ton of peers. sf Meanwhile tie insurgents and their
 newspaper supporters maintain a bold
 front in an attempt te conceal the fact
 that they are losing ground
 It is becoming Increasingly evident that their peers to anything like the extent claimed and the government will not be 1 forced to create a large number of peers, 1 if any, in order to carry the veto bill. I The government is going to give the l unionsts plenty of time to compose their differences Premier Asquith, anxious as 1 his opponents to avoid swamping the up- per house with new barons will not force I a crisis so long as matters are ending ! in his direction.
 l There are rumors of an early adjourn
 ment of parliament until autumn, when,
 it is thought, the tension may be en- i tirely abated. l There was a lively interlude from the
 nationalist benches in the house of com
 mons this afternoon in the form of an
 exchange of compliments which, had 1t
 occurred anywhere else, certainly would l have led to a personal encounter. Will l liam O'Brien, leader of the independent ! nationalists complained to the speaker I that he had been insulted by questions I put by Thomas Lundon, nationalist, who l asserted OBrien was the descendant of 1 the most blaekguardedly informer that | ever appeared in Ireland
 When Lundon refused to retract the l statement O'Brien shouted: You are an l infamous liar-~and scoundrel" Lunddn | made dive for the independent leader. l but friends seized his coat-tail and the l incident was closed. It had indicated, 1 however, how baseless are all the re- ports of truce between the nationalist | factions.
