used by Federal Govern
mens for Immigration

West virginia, the land overlooked,
Is now coming into its own The
United states Bureau OF Information
has decided that advertising small
farms in this state and inducing back
to-the-land advocates to settle here,
IS better than having them leave the
country to take up homesteads and
become citizens OF Canada, so the in
yes;igators areNRow looking up labor
conditions and investigating the lands
OF this state with a view OF listing
them for citizens who would follow
farming for health and wealth
Queries concerning lands and avail

and the like have been or viii be sent
to all boards of trade, oranges, civic
examinations, farmers institutes and
the like in the state, and within the
next six months Uncle Sam will be
aiding in advertising West Virginia.
The movement started by the Blu
reau of immigration viii net be con-
fined to West Virginia alone. but will
be followed in nearly all the other
stsEs of the United States. The
plan is to prevent good citizens from
leaving the states and also to keep
foreigners from going back to the old
countries to spend money they have
earned in America.
Plenty of large tracts of land are ad-
vertised, but the bureau is finding it
difficult to get information about five
ten and fifteen acre tracts. It is the
available small farms in West Yir-
ginla that the immigration officials
want to list.
An effort will be made to get i'm
migrants to come TO West Virginia or
other parts of the south and west in
stead OF crowding into the cities OF
the east. If this works out well the
officials are of the opinion, that the
cost of living will be lower, as n1u'
land now untitled and unused viii be
brought into use.

The Government will be richer next
month by s2S,27s, 900. which will be turned
into the Treasury by the corporations
of the country liable for assessment un-
der the corporation tax. The income
to the Government will be $1,154,O00 less

missioner of Internal Revenue Royal f
Cabell declares that gross receipts OF
corporations did not decrease SO much
as the net. Labor and supply men
seem to have got a larger slice Of the
companies earnings than in 1910, thit
being particularly true with respect tc

In a statement issued by Cabell, II Il
said that the tax was much more closely
assessed last year than during Its flrsa

CHURCHES |NDORSE
CRUSADE FOR FEWER
SALOONS IN CAPITAL
Congregations Favor Atti-
tude Taken by The Wash
ington Times.

The position of The Times regarding
a change in the excise laws of the Dis
trict, advocating fewer saloons, was in
dorsed last evening at services In the
Metropolitan Baptist Church by the
pastor, the Rev. John Compton Ball; in
the Grace Baptist Church by the pastor,
the Rev. Frederick w. Johnson, and at
special service in the Fifth Baptist
Church by A. e. Shoemaker, attorney
for the Antl-Saloon League. All of these
speakers urged their hearers to support
The Times. The same spirit was mani
tested at many church services yes
terday morning when preachers of vari-
Gus denominations called attention to
the benefits to be derived from a re-
vision of the excise laws of the Dis
trict, and commended The Times for
the reforms It is advocating.
I'VE have a great regard for the press
and for the efforts made by The Times
for civic righteousness and the general
uplift of men," said DIR. Ball To-day
We wish to go on record as publicly
conmending The Washington Times for
Its noble stand and convincing editorials
regarding the pending excise bill.
In the disappointment we feel re-
garding the action Of our Chamber of
Commerce, 1t is refreshing to read The
Times and note its clear presentation
Of facts. The newspapers have advo-
Gated a city of clean streets, and now
are using every effort to secure a 'fy-
less town. but. more important than
either of the above is the reduction
Of the number of saloons and the
strengthening of the protecting zone
about our schools.
The Metropolitan pulpit joins hands
with The Times in the effort to pro-
mote good and protect the home"
Albert E. Shoemaker, Of the Anti
Saloon League, at the Fifth Baptist
Church, explained the existing regula-
tions In regard to the excise law, and
told Of the proposed measures. He

Quit in August, Says
Vice President Sherman

Adjournment about the first part Of
August Is the opinion expressed by
Vice President Sherman on the Ques-
ton Of length of the session.
In this connection 1t may be added
that sunny Jim" generally knows
as much about the trend of events in
Congress as anyone connected with
It.
The opinion Is growing that not
only will there be no adjournment
before the conventions but that no
recess will be taken.
The decision of the Democrats to
force votes on the tariff bills and the
fact that the Lorimer case, on which
the reports of the majority and min
ority of the committee will be made
today, will be decided before adjourn
ment both contribute to the seeming
impossibility of early end of the SEES

inc what a help this would

for all cleansing purposes!
Just a little Gold Dust add

takes out the mineral sub

greatest cleansing value.

RIOT IN LITTLE MEXICO
Police Can't Learn Who Shot Two
Men.

Dodge City, Kan, May 1S.-The fact
that there was a riot in Little Mexico
at the east end of Santa Fe Trail street
Tuesday became known here yester-
day. An investigation was made at
once by the authorities and as re,
suit one of the participants is In jail
and two in the hospital undergoing an
extensive rehauling. The two In the
hospital were shot through the body
and stabbed severely in number OF
place.
The authorities are having mighty
little luck finding out the particulars
of the fracas as not even the wounded
men will give them any information.
1t was this natural aversion to letting
Americans into their affairs that
caused the entire colony to keep the
affair quiet for two days. The only
thing that has been learned is that at
least two of the many participants
were drunk. The two victims are not
fatally injured but their wounds are
so serious that the hearing can not be
held for some time.

Fe cannot receive a dividend in excess

ter how prosperous the road may be
and the owners of the common stock
are now receiving dividend of 6 per
cent, which is the highest rate ever
paid on that stock, but the average
rate paid to the shareholders for IL
