ONLY 16 AGAINST IT
Legislation Much Desired By People
Frequently Been Passed By the
Lower House VIII Again Go
To Senate.

Washington, D. c., April 13-The
House of Representatives, by vote
of 296 to 16, passed early this eve-
ming the Rucker resolution proposing
a constitutional amendment for the
direct election of United States Sena-
tors.
This is the first of the Democratic
program measures passed by the
House. Backed by a solid Demo
cratic phalanx, it went through with
out modification.
The resolution as the House APP
proved it, is in the form Of the
Borah resolution reported out of the
Senate Judiciary committee in the
closing days of the last Congress. Re-
publican opposition to the Rucke,
resolution in the House was based on
the fact that it did not contain the
changes afterwards made In the
fight in the Senate, which assured to
Congress continued control over
elections in the several states.

BIG TREE DELIVERY
j. N Wilson Serbs Out Over County
the Largest Number Ever
Sold.

On Saturday so many people were
taking fruit trees home with them
that one was led to remark, "Where
in the world are the people getting
all those trees?"
If they had seen J. n. Wilson, the
veteran nursery man, dealing out hi
stock 10 Eli his orders taken ,somc
tims ago they would not ina re needed
to ask the question. Mr.. Wilson
has sold and is now delivery nearly
$500 worth of trees to customes in
this vicinity and at Tyner.
Mr.. Wilson Is doing something
quite out of the ordinary this
giving out to each grower full direc-
tions for the planting, and care of
the trees. Mr.. Wilson sees, as do
many others, that farmers here do
not care 70 their trees properly af-
ter they are planted, and he is trying
to help them give the right attention
to their fruit trees, so they will get
the proper returns on their invest
ment.

BUREAU OF COMMERCE REPORT
SHOWS THAT LAST YEAR WE
CONSUMED FOURTEEN Bill
LION OF THE FRUIT.
ALL COME FROM ABROAD
Very Few Bananas Can Be Raised In
This Country-We Are Biggest
Consumes In the World.

-Four thousand million bananas
were imported into the United States
in the calender year 1910. The BAN
ana habit is growing in the United
States. In the early eighties the val
ne of bananas imported, according to
theBureau of Statistics Of the De-
partment of Commece and Labor,
ranged between one and two million
dollars per annum; by 1890 the value
had increased to four and half
million dallars, in 1900 to nearly six
million dollars, and in 1910 to prac-
tically 1919 million dollars.
The figures of quantities, begin
ming with the year 1908, showed for
that year 1874 million punches; in
1909, 1912 million punches; and in
1910, little over 40 million were i'm.
ported.
Indies are the chief sources of sup
ply of the bananas imported into the
United States. Of the 40 million.
punches imported in 1910, 81 million
were from Central America; 1872 mil
lion from British West Indies; 21a
million from South America, princi-
pally Columbia and Dutch Guiana; 2
million from Cuba; and about l mil
lion from other countries. Costa
Rica is the largest source of supply
in Central America, Honduras second.
and Panama third, and Jamaica is the
largest source of supply in the West
Indian Islands.
The United States is the world s
largest importer of bananas. The
United Kingdom is the next largest
importer.
Efforts. have been made from time
to time to develop the banana indus.
try in the extreme south and in Cali
fornia, but the domestic production is
inconsiderable when compared with
the importation. The banana, while
probably a native of India, is now
grown in practically all tropical coun-
tries, and among a considerable part
of the human race ranks as high as dc
cereal grains among the people of
the temperate zones, and it is said to
produce more food upon a given area
than wheat.
The consumption of bananas in
temperate zone countries has in
creased enormously in recent years
They are used chiefly L. the natural
state but in smaller quantities in the
form of banana flour made from ripe
fruit. Snail quantities of this flour
are imported into the United States
but in such inconsiderable amounts
that the Bureau of Statistics has moi
up to his time found it advisable
to separately enumerate it amops
articles imported.

BETTER SEWfRSYSTFM
o. E. Mcdowell Reviews Misery
and It's Causes" Claiming That
Society Can Remove
the Causes

A Theoretically sealed trunk sew
er laid in the river and emptying in
to septic tank below the city was
the ideal sewer system suggested by
surveyor A C. North in a talk before
the Civic Club on the effects of the
Yellow river dredge through Plym-
outh.
Mr.. North does not think the
dredging will affect the drainage we
now have at all, except that it might
make it better The present flush
ing of the river by the mill race
water, he says, does nothing except
throw the filth and debris out to the
edge of the river. Anyone may see
this for himself if he goes along the
river. The dredging will allow a
straight and steady flow of water
which is better to carry off the
sewage than the periodical flushing
as we now have from the mill race
water.
Mr.. North told of the 5000 acres of
land reclaimed In Kosciusko and the
5000 acres in Marshall county, all of
which was before dredging worth
about So an acre. Now it is worth
from 500 to $3.50 an acre.
At Plymouth is the break in the
fall of the Yellow river, the fall
above us being less and the fall from
here down. being more. Mr.. North
says the space between the piers of
the Michigan street bridge and the
Pennsylvania pieis is amply sufficient
to carry all the water that comes
down Yellow river When the twists
are taken out by the dredge and the
channel is straighter, the water will
get away so that there will not be
any more freshets that will injure
or endanger the city as in the past.
Mr.. North was commissioner on the
south and north forks of the Yellow
river when they were dredged and is
thoroughly familiar with all the
drainage work Of the county and be-
yond. His talk was therefore very
interesting.
Mr. Troyer, who was to have been
present, was i'll and could not at.
tend the meeting.

WOMAN SEEKS HER UNCLE.
II. G. Norton. Former Kansan. Be
lieved Dead In Colorado.


Heved Dead I'm Colorado.
Wichita, Kan, Sept. s.-Mrs. Mary
Kinds of Enid, Okla. is in the city
trying to obtain some trace of her
uncle. Horace 6. Norton, who was last
heard of by her in June, and whom
she believes is now dead. Norton was
a one time deputy sheriff in Cowley
county and later he was guard at
the Kansas penitentiary four years. He
was blacksmith and until last June
he had been living in Medicine Lodge.
In June Norton and Mrs. Kinds went
to Colorado on property deal. They
separated at Holly, Colo. Mrs. Kinds
going on to Denver. That was on
June II.
Failing to hear firm her uncle, Mrs.
Kinds began an investigation to learn
where he was She heard that he had
been killed, and later in her search
she found a picture of a man whom
she believes to be Norton. The man
was evidently dead when the picture
was taken, and the picture was sent
out to the police departments in vari-
Gus towns in letter. telling of his
death.
There is nothing in the picture to
Indicate the cause of the mans death.
but it is evident that his head was ly-
ing on the cushion of an engine seat
and that some grain doors had been
set up near for background. and this
gives rise to the belief that the picture
was taken at some railroad station.
