WILL F|L|BUSTER
AGAINST: VOTING
The Senate Will Offer Numer-
ous Amendments to the
Reciprocity Bill

Washington, Feb. 21.-Salient de-
tails of the filllbuster that is planned
to be waged against Canadian reci-
procity in the senate came to light to-
day. The movement is to be Differed
and manned by the insurgents, though
some of the regulars are to take q
hand in the engagement. Cummins of
Iowa and Borah and Hepburn OF Idaho
the former an insurgent and the lat
ter a regular, are understood to be
the prime movers in the conspiracy
to defeat q vote upon the Mccall bill.
Today the name Of Bristow Of Kansas
was added to the list of bushwhackers
who will attack the presidents poll
cies and it is believed these plotters
have allies in reserve, among them
Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota.
Strange as it may seem, La Toilette
of Wisconsin is not included among
the filibusters. That is accounted for
by the fact that Mr.. La Toilette is now
nursing a presidential ambition and
is in retirement for the present to pre-
vent himself from. becoming involved
in anything that might prejudice his
chances of landing the presidential
nomination. 1t will be noted that he
has been uncommonly quiet this ses-
sion, refraining from speaking upon
the questions that have agitated the
senate and which under ordinary cir
cun.stances would have drawn from
him long and vehement speeches. He
is not expected to take hand in the
filibuster though he may do SO II there
appears an opportunity to make pol
itical capital out Of it.
Plan Of Opposition
This filibuster is to be unique in
that it is to. be conducted under dis
guise. The plans as outlined at this
time do not call for long drawn-out
speeches by the participants, speeches
which are so palpably for the purpose
of delay. Instead, the action will be
skirmishes in the form of amend
ments. First there will be an amend
ment putting meats upon the free list.
This is to embarass the Republicans
who vote for Canadian reciprocity and
who will be forced to vote to keep
the products of the beef trust dutiable.
Then there will be an amendment pro-
viding for putting boots and shoes up
on the free list. This will be aimed
at Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts,,
who is supporting the president. Bris-
tow is expected to offer an amend
ment covering free clothing which is
expected to make other senator's
squirih. ;, In addition there will be
dozens of propositions along the same
line, all offered with the full knowl-
edge that II any one Of them is adopt
ed it will nullify the whole Canadian
agreement.
There can be no amendment Of any
of the schedules agreed upon, or add
ing to or subtracting from the articles
placed upon the free list without max
Ing the whole agreement worthless.
for any such change would involve
the acceptance Of the Canadian parlia-
ment which would require time far
beyond the limits Of the present ses-
sion of congress.
As each Of these amendments Is Of

The BARLEY CROP
How to Secure More and Better
Grain of That Kind in North
Star State

Last seasons drouth is evidenced
more in the barley crop than in any
Of the other farm grains Summer
rains helped the later. maturing
I'crops; but barley WAS .headingout'
and filling just when the drouth
was most severely felt. AS conse-
quence, the seed barley Of our state
is not up to the standard this spring.
This station has been consistent in
recommending the saving. year after
year. of only the plumpest, heavies..
and otherwise best grain for seel
purposes: also that this selection
can be safely made with the average
fanning-mill. This year, in view Of
the barley situation, the station is
recommending more strongly than
ever a rigid selection of the largest,
plumpest. heaviest and most perfect
seeds Not more than twenty per
cent, or one bushel in FIVE. should
be saved FOR seed purposes In other
words. take five bushels from the
bin and from this clean out and
save only the one best bushel Of
grain for Your seeding This sort
of work is imperative if Our barley
is to be kept up to standard. or an
Improvement made and high yields
secured.
Space does not here permit of a
full discussion of this important mat
ter; but, if farmers are interested
to know barley. let them write to

At q meeting of citizens and stock
holders, held at the city hall Tues
day evening, preliminary plans were
discussed for the annual fair of the
Agricultural Society OF Stearns

report was accepted and OF motion

was appointed to audit the report
Mr.. ,Inette announced that, at
the 1911 session of the Minnesota
legislature, the law relative to coun-
ty fairs was so amended that each
county will hereafter receive double
the amount it formerly did for the
support of the fair Up to this time
tie state has paid each county hold
ing 2 fair some $500; under the 1911
amendment the amount will be
$1,000 This was good news and the
general feeling among those at the
meeting was that with this increas-
ed aid there is no reason why the
fair should not pay out instead Of
running behind
DR.. J. A. Du Bots, president OF
the Fair Association, spoke to the
point, urging that the people OF
SauA Centre Should give the fair
more liberal patronage III the matter
of attendance.
Secretary Minette answered num-
erous questions relative to the fin
ances CT the association and urged
that things be set moving at once
SO that the 1911 fair may lie an as
slred success,
When the meeting adjourned, it
was until Tuesday evening of next
week. May 16 At that time it is
hoped to have a larger and more
representative attendance. The mat
ter of holding Fourth Of July cele-
braticn Will also. be disposed at
that meeting. Fiery business man

to be said?
The class of 1911 is to be congratu-
lated upon the staging and acting,
the public upon the attendance and
its contributions in the purchase Of
tickets to make the production pay.
The vehicle chosen for the seniors
to disport their theatrical talents was
a three act farce-comedy entitled
THE Time Of His Life" 1t was an
entertaining skit, with not enough Of
a plot to harm anybody or to weary
the brain in following it. But it en-
tertained and it gave the amateur
performers chance to show what
they could do: what more could lie
asked?
1t is ever a thankless task to write
up an amateur performance. OF
course, it would be eminentlys unfair
to compare the work Of the amateur
with that of the professional. But it
is not over stating facts when it is
said that the young people who took
the parts in the production Saturday
evening all performeds their parts

equal to the demands upon him.
The two minor male parts of "Mr.

were satisfactorily handled by Vivian
