Address of President Cobb.

The first address at today's session was
made by President Cobb, who told of the
work of the association. lie said In part:
The fundamental basis of our work
is the fact that there has existed In the
country for many years widespread
and earnest conviction that our tariff
making system is unsound and inadequate
to cope with modern conditions, with all
the complexities existing in the relations
Of labor and capital, the consumer and
producer and the adjustment OF the tariff
to domestic business and foreign trade.
THE levying of duties must of necessity
affect all these questions. and If we desire
10 produce sound results 1t is self
evident proposition that the first step
should be thorough knowledge of exist
ing conditions. 1t has been our province
simply to present to the country for gen.
eral discussion and consideration the idea
that this necessary knowledge of condi-
tionS can best be acquired by 4 per-
manent. Independent tariff commission.
We have worked assiduously for two
years to present this idea and have met
with an affirmative response SO unani-
nous and SO general from all sections of
the country and from all kinds and condi-
tions oe men. regardless of business and
directors has felt justified In calling you
together here in Washington to say 20
Congress that the country desires and de-
serves to have permanent. independent
tariff commission with provision for the
consideration OF the tariff by schedules in
the full light of public discussion, based
on investigation made by commission
30 established that it will command public
confidence.

Millions Are Unheard.

that to the unheard majority, II would
not confine itself to the facts and ar

safeguard the interests OF those that

that industry that is too poor or weak
and scattered or diffident to present

the industries Of widest use and of
greatest benefit to our people have been

note the significance OF this. and espe-
cially that the lumber, cotton goods

Farmers have not failed to note re-

But because 1t is important that a

that we have such a commission that
the interests of the unheard majority
may be given due consideration. And it
is appropriate that the representative

Hargis Items.

Weather conditions In this CON-
munity are still favorable to the
growth of peas, corn, peanuts and
other crops, although a shower
now and anon would be greatly
appreciated.
Those who left this portion of
the country last fall and winter, to
take up their abode in Texas, write
that they have fine crops ont there
and are progressing nicely. Their
friends here now have their pro
iata of the Texas fever.
"Little Mat" Jackson is i'll with
typhoid fever and has been for
some time. We hope he will soon
be able to have his name erased
from the sick list.
Last Sunday morning marked
the departure of Miss Leethia
Bryant for Natchitoches, where
she will attend the Summer Nor
NAL for period of ten weeks. We
are very glad she will not remain
absent from the Hargis communi-
ty long, for she will be greatly
missed by all, especially in the
Sunday school. She was accom-
panied by Chas. Calhoun, who will
also pursue a ten weeks course in
the Normal.
Miss Pearl. Fletcher is visiting
relatives and friends at Colfax
this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Anders were

Thursday and Friday night of
last week marked the closing of
another very successful year at
the Verda high school. The pro-
grams rendered we're excellent and
we'll attended both nights by peo-
pie from far and near. The grad
uating exercises were held Friday
night. Milo Haynes and Weaver
Collins were the only graduates
this year. Milo delivered a fare
well address which seemed to sad
den the hearts of his colleagues
and school mates.
A thriving Sunday school has
been organized at Mars Hill by
Mr.. F. G. Adams who is now en-
ployed in that field of work. This
newly organized Sunday school
was placed under the superintend-
ency of Mr.. Hey Killingsworth.
The Mars Hill Sunday school
convenes at 3 o'clock in the after
noon, which gives the young peo-
pie of this community a chance to
attend Sunday school twice each

noon. A number of the Hargis
people took advantage of this op-
portunity Sunday. RAsTUs.

Many Uses of Lime.

According TO Mr.. Burchard, re-
cent tests have indicated that mag
nesian lines are generally best
suited to structural work and high
calcium limesto chemical purposes,
bat for certain uses the reverse OF
this rule is true, and for many ap-
plications in each branch of indus
try either type of lime is equally
well suited. The chemical uses OF
lime are much more varied than
the uses of lime in building. Lime
Is used for soil renovation or sweet
ening, for insecticides and fungi
cides, for egg preservation, for
water and sewer publication, as a
disinfectant and deodorizer, for
bleaching, III the manufacturing
of numerous chemicals, in gas
manufacture, in the milling indus
try, in paint and varnish manufac-
ture, and in the paper, smelling,
beet-sugat. tanning, aud many 9TH
er industries.
1t is not known what amount OF
lime is used for agricultural pnr-
poses, but Mr.. Burchard notes
that many Of the producers report.
ing to the Survey are farmers who
do not operate on a commercial
scale but merely burn a kiln OF
two of lime occasionally for their
own use. In some sections lime il
known to be very extensively used
as a soil sweetener, and most Of
