KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept. 25.-
That the conservation movement is
making rapid progress in this conn
try was made apparent when repre-
sentatives of a dozen States made
brief verbal reports at the opening
session of the third National Conser-
walton Congress today. Every dele
gate who spoke brought report OF
activity in his section and assured
the convention that the campaign for
had Just begun. Not all
OF the reports were reached today.
Besides President Taft. other
speakers were Judge B. b. Lindsey.

OF the congress: Governor Hadley
and ]. B. White. a member of the ex
ecutive committee.

President Taft's speech was stats

ing the farm land He predicted that
the back to the land" movement
would be larger the next ten years
Improvement of agricultural educa,
tion was urged as solution OF the
problem of increasing the food sup
ply. While the soil is being stripped
OF its fertility under present farming
methods. in many sections. the Presi-
dent said he is not of the opinion
that the time will ever come when
the United States will be unable to

Blount saw his last chance for bet

night and once more broke with the
traditions.

These and kindred speculations kept

gro, and he was just dropping off into
his first loss Of consciousness when
the familiar purring Of a motorcar
aroused him again.
There was a window at his beds

the curtain.
The view gave upon the avenue Of
cottonwoods and the circular carriage

A touring car, with its powerful
headlights paling the white radiance

steps. and he had a fleeing glimpse of

As he was able 10 determine by

silent cavalcade of four turned aside
from the main road into an avenue of

At Its head the avenue became a cir

way a stately house, with massive
Georgian facade and colonnade por-

There were lights in one wing of the
