THE TARIFF BOARD WILL SOON REPORT Administration Programme
 Is Announced MUCH DATA PREPARED Taft Has Said Schedule K Was Too High and Now He Has Chance
 to Prove It-Fight Will
 Soon Be On
MUCH DATA PREPARED

l Washington, October 29.-The tariff 1 boards much discussed report on the woolen industry Is to be transmitted
 to Congress at the opening of the next sesion in December and the boards re-
 rort on cotton will follow probably before January l. This, it became
 known todly, is the administration s programme with relation to the big tar if fight that will be waged in Con- gress this winter
 A staff of Is clerks at the census
 bureau is putting the finishing touches upon the boards wooden report and completion of the tables now being pre- pared will practically terminate the statistical work on the report and II is expected it will be placed In Pres. ident Taft's hands in ample time for transmission to Congress at the open ing.
 An appropriation bill passed by Con- gress for continuing the existence Of the board called for report on wool frequently referred to as schedule k
 of the tariff law-by December l, and every effort has been made to insure completion of the figures by then. President Taft has declared schedule K Is the most complicated schedule in the existing tariff law and many rates in it are too high, exceeding any need ed protection for the wool grower CT manufacturer. He has contended re peatedly, however, that he could not judge what reductions should be made
 until he had sufficient data at hand. Within a fortnight the wheels of the tariff planning machinery of Congress will gain be moving with Democratic ] Leader Underwood, chairman of the House ways and means committee, and other democratic members of that com mittee laying out a tentative plan for the winters tariff programme for rat
 ification by the democratic caucus when
 Congress convenes. Clerks of the com
 Inittee have been engaged in getting
 tariff data together ever since Congress
 adjourned last August
 So far as can be iearned, an eX-
 haustiVe investigation has been made
 with the idea of specifically attacking
 the tariff boards coming report and
 democratic leaders now in the city saii
 until the character of that report is
 known they cannot say whether they will assault or support it.
 Besides the big wool and cotton
 schedules a host of other provisions Of the tariff law, including proposals to
 reduce the duties on steel and iron, cot ton machinery, chemicals. reciprocal free admission of bituminous coal across the Canadian border, etc, will figure in the coming tariff discus sions.

Home Improvement For Children
BY MRS. J. B. REID.

The old saying, "Great oaks from tiny acorns grow" is very applicable to hu- man nature.
 The little seed is buried deep in Mother Earth and there receives the qualities that sprout the plant, and as the weak ling peeps in to the great broad forest' an infant, to catch its share of the sun shine and showers, it is like unto a child in the hands of fate Wandering still further in the grove you admire the great full grown, well developed parent tree waving it's branches, flaming it's breezes 10 gladden., and to meet the admiration of the passerby, but wonder one sees a poor crooked. forelorn, dwarfted example of the same family. The cause? It sim ply came to life like the infant pure and fraiI and has been deformed by the environments-eithe too much sunshine or too much shade-something that should have been given has been withheld. The consequence not pleasant to look upon, of no use to the world, it Is left to die at will and as the life is gradually ebb- ing sAway, there are no regrets among the comrads. It gave no pleasure, had no beauty and was not useful, yet na- lures childi We see the same thing every day in the human family, and why? There is something lacking-too much sunshine, too much shade The plant is dying Isn't it time to think and act?
 Science has revolutionized the world. It has put it in motion and created bll- lions of extra dollars. but 1t has never so progressed that it has created any formula for raising a better man than God intended his true man to be. We. dear friends, have accepted theories and the hope of a scientific solution to the problem of raising children. The object is a good one if we make it practical. The home is the true incubator for better citizenship. From it eminates the good or evil that effects the community. When the home is infested with misery, slug gishness and discontent it's offspring forces itself out upon the world as broken limbs to a tree, to rot and fall and mar the life of the parent tree. In order to bring new life to the disfigured body we have to dig to tse root, fertilize and change the soil. So it is in every
