Reports Bound to Create Debate.
All of these reports are sure to cause
more or less debate. The tariff board
report will be the bulwark of the Re-
publicans in any attempt to revise the
tariff by the Democratic house. Should
any serious endeavor be made to en-
act b recommendations of the none
tary commission into law a long de-
bate may be expected in both houses.
Likewise the report of the waterways
commission and the employers liabili-
ty and workmen's compensation com.
mittee will be of such general interest
as to insure many speeches. Both the
Lorimer and Stephenson reports will
occasion much debate in the senate,
while the report Of all the house in
vestigating committees. being political
in their nature, will p%recipitate a
great deal OF talk.
Past experience has shown that
with congress working under a full
head of steam it is no small matter to
dispose of the appropriation bills in
three months. even when both houses
are controlled by the same political
party. The Democratic committee on
appropriations in the house expects to
make serious cuts in the estimates for
the next fiscal year, and it is not like
~ that the appropriation bills will go
through both houses as quickly as
heretofore.
On top of the reports which are i'm
pending the senate still has on it's cal
endar the arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France. There is
also still pending in conference the
resolution proposing to amend the con
stitution by providing for the direct
election of United States senator.
Both Of these topics are likely to be
fruitful in debate.
Among the new men at this session
are Senator Obadiah Gardner of

I'm my judgment. there is no limit

the grocer must be alive and do his

How on earth am | tt know what

adopts some means of telling me- Or
course l know that he handles sugar.
coffee, butter, etc, but there are many
other things on his shelves which |
sometimes want. but do not always
think of asking for when at the store.
II know OF a grocery store which has
a novel method of introducing its
goods. When a customer buys a pound

GOOD "BUY AT HOME" RULES.
Americans Might Well Follow the Ger.
mans In Usinq Them,

Here are The German tradeSmen'S
ten business commandments, which
apply with equal force to every Amer,
lean buyer OF SELLER. especially if the
word town" is substituted for father
land"
Never lose sight of the interests OF
your compatriots or Of the fatherland.
Do not forget that when you buy Il
foreign product, no matter if it is
only a cents worth, you diminish the
fatherland's wealth by just SO much.
Your money should profit only Ger
man merchants and workmen.
Dc not pro1une German soil. a Ger
man house or a German workshop by
using foreign machines and tools.
Never allow to be served at your
table foreign fruits and meat, thus
wronging German growers and, more
over, compromising your health, be,
cause foreign meats are not inspected
by German sanitary police.
Write on German paper with a Ger
man pen and dry the ink with Ger.
man blotters.
You should be clothed only with Ger
man goods and should wear only Ger,
man hats.
German -four, German fruits and
German beer alone make German
strength.
If you do not like the German malt
ed coffee. drink coffee from the Ger
man colonies. If you prefer chocolate
or cocoa for the children, have a care
that the chocolate and cocoa are Of *
clusively German production.
Do not let foreign boosters divert
you from these sage precepts. Be con-
vinced. whatever you may hear. that
the best products which are alone
worthy Of a German citizen are Ger
mar products.

Speaker Clark on the Session.
Speaker Champ Clark predicts that
the session will be long. exceedingly
busy and very important. A revision
of the tariff to a revenue basis or as
close to an approximate thereto as
may be possible will be the most i'm

The first Fairgrounds in Camden. N.

Playground association. which included
some of the most public spirited men

raising of $1,000 by subscription for
this purpose that the members of the

Gaudy Catalogue Made Him Buy a
Galvanized Tank-He Got the Tank,
but Had Also to Call In His Local
Tinsmith.
Good, solid, cogent reasons why the
farmer and the dweller in the small
town should spend their money in the
nearby stores of their neighbors, among
friends whom they trust and who
%patronize them as far as may be, are
given in the following editorial from
the Daily Age of Coshocton, O., which
includes another editorial from the
Findlay Republican.
The instance of the mail order house
d%enouncer who finally succumbed to a
highly colored catalogue and finally had
to call in a local artisan to make the
thing work" is not only amusing. but
painfully true, and should be instruc-
tive.
1.-THE man who sends his money out
of town is robbing himself in the long
run. a moments thought will con-
vince eve the most ardent mail order
devotee that this statement is true"
says the Daily Age. "And he does it
in more ways than one. For instance,
Monday morning a timer showed an
Age man q big galvanized tank that a
s~torekeeper in a county village-and
he is always denouncing mail order
houses-had bought of a Chicago firm.
And the tank had to be gone owe by
the local timer before it was fit for
use. 1t started right, but had a poor
finish. And the Findlay Republican the
other day succincl!y set forth some
very hard, common sense reasons that
are worthy of perusal. The editorial
says:
1.-The more money you send away
from home the poorer your town
grows. Is there any one who doubts
it?
"'Out of every purchase made in
your own town a certain percentage is
set aside to be added to our home cap
ital.
when home trade increases new
stores come and old ones do a bigger
business. That means more clerks,
larger rrohts for the employer. The
inevitable result is the building of
more houses for these people to live
in. That makes more taxable prop
erty, and your tax rate. if public funds
are properly handled. will decrease.
and, besides. there is more money
available for public Improvements.
"A purchase ut home. therefore, is
in part an investment. some portion of
he money returning to you in in.
creased values OF real estate, better
stores to trade in. the building Of more
civic improvements.
"a purchase in a distant city is
equally an investment, but the invest
ment is for the benefit of the people
who live in the city where the pur-
chase is made.
why invest your money in a place
where no possibility can eyer bring
you any return from it?'"

Special Trees For Every Street,

The advisory committee on street
tree planting in Pasadena. Cal. has
prepared an official list designating a
particular kind of tree for every street

who wish to plant trees for themselves
will have to set them In accordance
with the official prescription.

Hu1nor and

PERT PARAGRAPHS.
By DUNCAN ~. SMITH

THERE are plenty Of fools in the
world, but the redeeming feature
Of the case is that each of us has to
look after but n
There is nothing more piteous than
an overworked excuse.
Man was made to mourn and woman
to furnish the cause.
The man who thinks he is monarch
of all he surveys needs to be careful
of what he looks at.
Being optimistic is cheerful. but it
isn't always remunerative.
Maybe some of them can't come back
because they like it where they are.
There seem to be a lot of folk who
want a communication ticket into matri-
mony.
1t isn't so much knowing a lot as it
Is certainty in what you do know.
If you are looking for trouble you
need not work hard. You will find
plenty of help.
The mediocre fellow is the one who
is so dead sure that he can do some
thing else better.
You can't tell whatll happen and
perhaps wouldn't if you could.
