BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS

Cast thy bread upon the water, and
thou shalt find it after many days.
Greenville Herald.
Truer words were never written.
There is no man who has ever con-
tributed to the needy, administered
to the sick, comforted the downcast
or befriended the friendless who can
not testify to the literal fulfillment
OF this divine promise, irrespective of
whether he be Christian or pagan. In
the city of New Orleans there is a
monument erected to the memory and
good deeds of a woman-the first to
be erected in the world in honor of
woman known only in private life
which admirably illustrates the truth
of the text. II is statue of Margaret,
a poor, uneducated woman who began
life in that city in pitiful poverty.
One day she adopted baby waif, to
the establishment of those who knew
ton. Questioned as to how she hoped
to be able to care for the child, she
replied that the Lord would provide
whatever she required And He did.
And afterwards Margaret adopted
others. And somehow she always had
means to support them all and herself
as well. Thereafter she built home
for the care of homeless infants,
which was followed in after years by
others, until she completed one of the
most splendid charitable institutions
of its class known to Christian civili-
cation Today when you enter Mar.
garet Place to gaze upon the statue
of that kind-hearted woman, with one
of its arms embracing a little girl, the
other resting upon the head of a beau
tiful child, standing in a plaza fanked
with splendid buildings devoted to the
rearing and education of homeless,
orphaned children, when you see the
history of the achievements of this
poor woman, who could not write her
name, written in living marble, and
hear the revered name of Margaret
uttered in loving tenderness by all.
you will be overwhelmed by the con-
viction that you stand in the presence
of a notable example of the divine
truth; Cast thy bread upon the
waters, for thou shalt find it after
many days. Houston Post.

These figures would indicate that
even a half inch rod would be suf-
ficiently strong to hold the average

securely, and, of course is cheaper
than the larger rods. | am advised
by hardware dealers that these rods
can be purchased at three and one
half cents per pound, and that the
nuts can be had for eight cents per
pound The hardware people have
given me the following weights per
foot for iron rods of different sizes:

For convenience, we will figure that
each nut for the rods will cost 5

RATIFY ACTION 0N COTTON SCHEDULE Finance Committee Votes Unanimously to Alp
 prove it. UNDERWOOD IS ANGRY House Leader Says Managers Will Not Agree to Increase and
 Charges Bad Faith.
UNDERWOOD IS ANGRY

Washington, June 1.-The full Democratic membership of the Fi- nance Committee today ratified the said committees action on the cotton schedule with the exception of two items that were sent back for exam ination. Substantial increases have been made in the cheaper grades of cotton cloths and yarns. averaging at least , per cent The committee also put hemp on the free list The House bill carried the duty of $112O a ton on hemp.
 Chairman Underwood, of the Ways and Means Committee, was quoted by one of his associates today as saying the managers on part of the Honsa conferees would never agree to these increases and that the majority lead CTS considered the act of the Finance Committee one of bad faith.
 The changes in cotton schedules have been made by the Senate Com mittee in redponse to appeals from Southern Cotton Mills operating and on the basis of serious mathematical errors by the House Committed The Senate Committee today voted not to make public any of the schedules or rates that have been changed until after the bill has been approved by the caucus and it has received the presidents o. K. Not until then will the measure go into the senate.
 Counting only the estimated reven- ues on articles shifted to the free list, the bill indicates loss of revenue be- low that estimated on the House bill of $1,417, GOO. Reductions made on many dutiable items will increase this loss of revenue very materially.

GAN COLLECT TAX
 ON CORN CROPS
Attorney General Moose Hands Down an Opinion aud Sustaining Com.
 missioner of Agriculture.

Little Rock, June 11-Attorney General w. L. Moose on Wednesday afternoon rendered an opinion in which he holds that the state has the right to require the payment of tax upon corn chops. The opinion is an approval of an opinion delivered for Commissioner of Agriculture Clay Sloan by Attorney General Hal l.. Nor wood about two years ago.
 There has been much discussion re- gently about the right of the state to tax corn chops, the millers claiming that corn chops are an unmiXed feed, and that the state cannot require the payment of tax upon it. Commits sioner Clay Sloan took the stand that chops is so easily, and so fre- quently adulterated, that the state was merely taking a precautionary measure when it required the pay ment of tax, He declared that the state had the right to prevent the making of chops in the state if it chose to do so, or to regulate the manufacture in any way it saw fit The decision of Attorney General Norwood was in line with these con tentiOnS. isX&d,xlkYZM
 The grain dealers and ai,lers be- came so insistent about the tax on chops that Commissioner John F. Page requested Attorney General w. L. Moose for an opinion, and received one unfavorable to the mi,lers.

 The matter was reported to Dr. Morgan Smith of Little Rock, the head of the State Board of Health. eral Moose for an opinion
 Attorney General Moose holds that the Legislature did not intend thnl any city should be without q board of health because the mayor had not learned of the mango in the law, and for that reason he directed the mayor of TeXarkana to proceed with the ap- pOintment as though the letter of tha law had been carried out.
