What's the Use?

There is said to have been some disa-
greement among members Of the Stanley
Steel Trust Committee as to the charac-
terlzat.On of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
merger. Some members, Democrats
among them, are not satisfied that the
acts of President Roosevelt in that matter
were illegal.
The committee IS to propose numerous
amendments to the antitrust law. These
recommendations are the result of pro-
found study, and if enacted they are ex-
pected TO make the statute impregnable
as against combinations and consplracies
as we'll as pettifogslng. But what is the
use?
If a president can be persuaded before
breakfast by a Gary and a Prick, bearing
cock-and-bull stories from Wall street, to
suspend the law in favor Of menaced
trust, why go the trouble of amending it?
Any old law will answer the purpos

field of sapling clover IN this section is a
% acre field on the farm of F. +. Mich
ael near Daysville tenanted by Howard
Zimmerman. In cutting the grass off this
field Mr.. Zimmerman was compelled 10
have men follow his mower and throw
the grass to one side, as the mower could
not be run over the cut grass because OF
its bulk choking the mower. Mr.. Mich
ael says that the field is making from six
TO eight tons of hay per acre, and be
cause the grass is quite thick, the quality
OF the hay is excellent. A portion of the

tenanted by Charles Harshman, has an
other field of II acres equally as good in
