tions of Collector Chester w. Hill, Sur
veyor Perry M. Lytle, Appraiser Fred

fciany announced that the resigna-

persons who are in sympathy with the
purpose and policies of the administra-

| Treasury officials contented them
selves with that brief statement which
was the first indication that a sweep
ing reorganization of the customs ser
vice was about to begin. Officials were
reticent as to possible future moves
in this direction but 1t is known that
the Secretary has his eyes on the Bos-
ton office, where an alleged customs
scandal Is being unearthed. Close at
tention is being given to the general
question of reorganization in connec-
ton with the radical redistrictng of

WILSON'S MESSAGE
PLEASES ROME

Rene, April o.-President Wilson's mes
sage to the American Congress has caused
an excellent impression here, not only
because reductions in the tariff will prove
advantageous to Italy. whose exporta-
tons TO the United States is constantly
increasing, but because of the general
satisfaction over the fact that the United
States is ready to accept the competition
OF European countries in matters of COM
merce.
AllA the newspapers publish the mes
sage extensively and point out that Italy
will gain particularly in the export OF
oils. fruits, chemicals, medicines, cotton

against the probate judge, the liability,
II any, was an individual one and not a
liability resting upon his bond. From this
decision an appeal has been taken to the

Upon the final decision of this case most
OF the amounts due will be settled Suits
In other counties are dependent upon the
decision In this case and are continued
from term to term, awaiting the action

The results of these investigations are
that the officers are now more careful in
presenting claims against the counties,
and the commissioners courts and boards
OF revenue are scrutinizing all claims more
diligently than ever before. On this ac-
count large amounts are being saved to
the counties. Great improvements are
also noted in the system of bookkeeping

IL. S. Moberly, president of the Farmers
union of Arkansas and George MclSerrow.
superintendent of farmers institutes OF
Wisconsin. In the course of his remarks
MIR. Moberly said that in general farm
ers were not business men.
Wisconsin farmers make very success
ful business men, interjeeted Mckerrow.
The Arkansan averred that, compared
with the business men of the cities, the
farmer cannot organize, finance and man.
age a cooperative scheme Generally, he
said, they have not the capital, bus-
ress ability and information required. He
mentioned number of farmers organiza-
tions which had failed. The Wisconsin
man again arose.
THE farmers of my state,' he de-
elared, mot only can but have or
ganized many permanently successful
companies They do business like any
city firm" He cited the organizations
of dairy and fruit men as examples.
Moberly said there was a vast differ
ence between handling cotton and
handling dairy products, owing TO tho
immense difficulty of grading cotton.
The time of production and the fact
that half the cotton crop is marketed
within a period of three months We're
other difficulties. he said In addition
the cotton growers have no storage ia
cilities. Cooperative warehouses have
failed. he said.
Concern of Government
| Mr.. Summers, who is a member OF
Congress, said that as the necessities
of the people change, the scope of gov
ernment must change and that the mat
ter of farm credits was a Legitimate
concern of the national government
| The speaker said that with the rush
from the farms TO the cities which fol
lowed the introduction of rapid transit
the margin between farm production
and general consumption had become
dangerously narrow. The high prices
| of today are the sinister shadow OF
coming hunger cast upon the land, he
J asserted. There is no system of car.
rying over the surplus of bountifu
! years TO care for the lean years.
| Mr.. Thompson discussed reason why
farmers are not effectively organized
declaring the greatest reason was thai
| they were unwilling to pay enough
money to obtain able managers. Also
it is not enough that they should .pu
their money into organizations. they
must put themselves into it.

TUG IS A TOTAL LOSS.
Wreckage From the Margaret Comes
Ashore Following Gale,

The last act in the history of the sea-
going tug Margaret of Baltimore was per-
formed Thursday. when her owners. p.
Dougherty & Co. of Baltimore. reported
to the custom house at Baltimore that the
vessel. which was wrecked off Avalon, n.
j.. early in the week, was a total loss.
As the ships papers were lost with her
duplicate copies were made, and they
were formally turned over to Collector
Stone. This act removes the Margaret
from the list of merchant vessels of the
United States.
Fridays gale on the coast is said to
have destroyed what little was left of
the vessel and wreckage from her has
come ashore. Visitors to Atlantic City
and other resorts near the scene of the
wreck have been f1ocking to the beach TO
obtain portions of the wreckage as souve-
Mrs of the disaster.
