BAL MANT.

are membera from the last session this mat
tor will not b. unknown 1t will b. re.nem-
bered, that two gentlemen were sent out to
investig tie, if it could be of interest for
planters to get such a motor plough. These
two gentlemen sent in after their return q
rep Drt. Based on this report the present
Draft of Ordinance has been made out. The
motor plough will save laboul., make 1t less
necessary to import foreign labour and make
the scarcity of labourers Less felt. The mann
point is, that the expenses should be pad
by the Immigration Fund, the Planters are
only to pay for the working expenses of the
plough. 1t is done for the planters sake,
not for Governments sake.
His Excellency would ask TO make an
amendment in : 1, The total FIRES. 10000
should be increased with 1900 Francs. SO
that it read in all Frcs. 31,5OO. The cause
of this was that it was found out, that rear
wheel extensions were necessary for work
in soft soil, and further, that Government
had not been aware, that the costs were
made out in American gold, but had made
them out in Dollars and Francs, Danish
West Indian currency; tn expenses for un-
cert in expenses being so ample, it would
be sufficient to raise the whole amount only
with the said 1900 Francs. AS His Excel

Planters sake, and he would therefore leave
it to the Councils discussion.
list Member for Christiansted town (Stuhe-
mu1'n) would like to hear the planters opin-
ion before he and other Members not being
planters voted for or against; but they SEEM
ed to be silent.
Bird Member for Christiansted Country
District (LeeUy) remarked that silence as a
rule means consent. He would recommend
the Ordinance.
LIST Member for Christiansted Town( Stake
m0uA) said, that he had been present 10 the
Agricultural Society and heard the discus
sion about this matter. The discussion had
been about a motor plough, but also about
q steam plough, he had beard that the prin-
cipal thing was q steam plough with kniing,
it cuts the soil and keeps the moisture in the
soil, which was, especially for st. Croix with
its often dry weather, of great importance.
He would DOW ask, does this motor plough
possess this essential quality to the soil-the
knitting. From what he had heard in the
Agricultural Society # great deal OF stress was
laid on this knitting question. There were
many essential points, he would like to be
enlightened about. He had in the Agricul-
tural Society heard many opinions for and
against. He personally was neither for nor
against the plough but for whom was it in
tended ? Certainly not for the large concerns,
they had already steam ploughs. He sup
posed, it was especially for the smal propri-
etors, the opinions of these latter, he should
like TO hear. Was q planter able to pay the
amount, which is estimated at Frcs. 1850,
could he afford it? He had seen steam
, 1913-06-28

ploughs out here before, but they had only
lotted. Another question was the amount
for gasolene. In the short time We had had
automobiles out here the price for gasOlplre
had risen, and it would certainly be higher
i'll future. He earnestly advised Che planters
of the Council to express their opinion.
HIS E~cceAency said, that the hon. last
Speaker had remarked, that there was a de-
Walton III opinion in the Agricultural Society
concerning the motor plough. His Excel
ency read the letter from the President Of
the said Society concerning this matter, irons
which followed, that IN the SOciety'S meet
ing it was recommended to procure n motor
plough with p votes against l. Govern
ment listens TO the Agricu't ural Society.
With regard to the knitting, His Excellency
elucidated, that it would be undertaken by
the motor plough which will he supplied
with d subsoiIer for the knitting process.
4th Member f. Christiansted Country
District (Schmjegelo0) said, that the quos-
ton about the motor plough was very diff
cult to answer. We need machinery to
assist us. When he 3 years ago was in Den
mark, he was advised to wait concerning
motor p.oughs until they had become more
perfect. He had been told, that in Anne icn
motor ploughs had proved successful, he
hoped rS would be the same here the re-
sp0nsibllity will rest on the two gentIemen.
IT we can get q motor plough to work for
Frcs. us 0 per acre, he did not consider it
too expensive, we could not expect to get
down in the soil near to Is inches without
paying more for ploughing than we now do.
Il is u hard matter to take up, but the I'm
migration Fund is for the benefit of the Is
land, the Fund is accommodating, the money
Is there, let us try.
LIST Member for Christiansted Town(S'0&e-
n,0nn). The hon. last speaker said, we
must take it on trust, but are the small plan
ters willing to pay?
4th Member for Christiansted Country
District (SchnsegeIon0 answered, that if it
can do the work, the planters will ply.
4th Member for Frederiksted Country
District 7hornderg) said he had fol owed
the proceedings OF this matter from the be-
ginning, and he had his doubts. At fist
it was said, it would cost 6Octs per acre, then
not under q dollar, about b dollars, now the
price wNs 81 dollars, as the price of gasolene
was going up the amount would certainly
rise. Now the ploughiDg cost us 8 dollars
for J a hogshead, he couldn't see that it was
possible for the planters TO raise the expens-
esy That the plough does good work liz
America might be, but it was therefore not
certain, thnt it would work well in our soil.
There is no guarantee whether it goes down
so far. In his opinion the trouble didn't lie
exactly III our ploughiug.

council has reported an ordinance

that go above the shoe tops will not
be tolerated, and hose must not be

Will Discourage Such Dances
As Are Under IT,
Ban.
SENTIMENT IS VERY STRONG.
For Eliminating The New
Tangled, Bunny Hugs and
TangOS.

1t may be asserted that the OBJ
jectionable dances that have been
seen in many cities will not become
popular IN this city. The request of
Mayor Meacham made last week
that the owners of the halls used for
dancing settle this vexed question in
advance by nipping the turkey trot
and other tough dances in the bud
has been complied with so gen rally
that there will probably be no at
tempts to dance them. The Elks
Home trustees promptly acted on
the matter and tn, last dance, an
elegant and largely attended event,
was altogether free from criticism.
The trustees have announced that
the Objectionable dances will not be
allowed in the building. Messrs. A.
D. Noe & Son, proprietors of Hotel
Latham, have taken a similar posi-
ton, stating that tn y are in hearty
accord with the Mayors position
and that thu questionable dances
will not be allowed when the dining
room is:used for balls, and nobody
seems to object to the action taken
in the matter.

Attempts to Have Uncle Sam
Read Riot Act to
Mexico.

Washington. July 23.-An attempt
by Senator Fall, of New Mexico, to
force the senate to enunciate a
strong policy of protection for Amer
lean citizens in foreign countries to-
day precipitated a lively debate
which demonstrated appreciation on
the part of senator's Of the gravithy
of the Mexican situation and the
necessity for a determined stand by
the United States.
The policy of delay on the part of
the Taft administration was en-
phatically denounced by Senator
Fall and blamed by him for the
present critical situation, which, he
said, could have been prevented by
a sterner national policy. This de-
claration was approved by Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, who ex-
pressed disappointment that the
new president and the new secre'
tary of state had not inaugurated 9
different Mexican policy.

Near Future.
WILL COST ABOUT $5O,OOO.OO
Committee Authorized to Sell
Property and Proceed
at Will.

The members of the Methodist
church have decided to get down to
earnest work and build new house
of worship on South Main street, on
the James Anderson place This
property was given to the congrega
ton by the late John c. Latham not
many years before bis death. The
site is most desirable one and it is
the purpose of the congregation to
erect a building on it that will cost
about $45. 900 or $50 900.
The church at Ninth and Clay
streets is said to be the oldest house
of worship in the city. the Westmiu-
ster church ranking second as to
age. In fact. all the church build
ings are new. the First Christian
church retaining hardly semblance
of the old building when it was re-
modelled, just a few years since.
1t is the purpose of the committee
appointed last Monday night to put
the old building and the parsonage
on Campbell street on the market at
once and thus. and in other ways.
secure fund sufficient to erect a
much larger building in a more
quiet part of the city.
Ninth street il now a business
street as far as the L. & N. station.
and the large building now used for
worship can easily be converted in
to business house or large apart
ment building. The committee APP
pointed to take the initial steps in
building and disposing of the
church's property is composed of
the pastor, Rev. A. R. Kasey. G. E.

push in the Committee to build two
churches. and they will prove it in a
very short time.

is driven over the farm. His right
leg was affected by paralysis, but he
is gradually regaining use of it. He
attended the missionary rally at
