COUNTY FARMS

POULTRY FARM"

Fairfield, July 7-several Jefferson
county farms have been named within
the past few days, and the names
chosen recorded in the Office Of the
county recorder according to the new
law which has just become effective.
The first farmer to record the name OF
his farm was ]. G. Fray, prominent
Cedar township man. He chose the
title "Fairview Fruit and Poultry
Farm" Others who have named their
farms are the following: w. B. Yost,
"Willow Brook farm, William Beattie
maple Grove" and Jesse Cheezem,
Pioneer"
1t would seem that Mr.. Cheezem, a
prominent farmer In Round Prairie
township, has peculiar right to the
name Pioneer" for his farm, having
settled on 1t in 1886. There is per
haps no one having better right to
the name in the whole state of Iowa.
When Mr. Cheezem selected the name
he hurried to Fairfield to record 1t be-
fore another should want that name.
1.-The Pioneer" farm is one Of the finest
up to date farms in Jefferson county. Z.

His offense has been so conspic-
uous," said the president In his letter
to Secretary Of the Navy Meyer. di-
rccting the reprimand. that the action
OF the department in Tcproving II
should be equally So" The president
says that whenever an officer of the
American navy lis called upon in a
foreign country to speak in public so
that what he says will necessarily be
brought to the attention of people OF
other foreign countries, it is his OBJ
vious duty To avoid invlduous compar-
isons and to limit his speech and his
expressions OF friendship for the coun-
try whose guest he is To language that
will not indicate n lack of friendship
toward other countries.

another locking OF horns between
Speaker Cannon and his opponents on

NO STATEMENT Is MADE
Tariff Schedules Of United States and

Washington. Jan. IA determined
effort to lay the foundation for a re-

States and Canada was initiated today
when Secretary Knox welcomed at the
state department representatives Of
the Canadian government Knox ex-
planned to the Canadian ENJOYS the
powers conferred upon the representa-
lives of the department of state and
the purposes of the United States gov
eminent In negotiations.
There were six members of the con-

tors. Chandler p. Anderson, Charles NJ.
Pepper and John b. Osborn for the
United States. and w. S Fielding, min
lister Of finance, and William Patterson.

Secretary Knox.
Indications are that the negotiations
will consume at least n weeks time
There is an enormous quantity of de-
tail to be considered and the tariff
schedule: of both countries will be sub
jected to careful study in various lines
likely to be affected by changes in Gus
toms duties.
AS is invariably the case in the ne
gotiations of a treaty the participants
are bound to secrecy. II is therefore
improbable that there will be an au-
thoritative statement available before
the close of the negotiations beyond
the announcements as to progress.
In the light OF what has gone before
at Ottawa and the public declarations
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the Canadian
premier, it may even now be predicted
present negotiations will not be what
may be called a general reciprocity
treaty. The most that can be expect
ed at this stage of commercial rela-
tions between the United States and
Canada Is the convention dealing with
"a certain limited number of articles. 1t
probably will include the addition of
a few raw products from the free lists
and the reductions of duty on Ameri-
can manufactured articles not now
largely made in Canada and reduced
duties on some Canadian agricultural
staples largely used in the United
States.
