 OF TESTIMONY
 OF DAVID LAMAR

Washington, July 3-Confirmation of David Iamar'g claim that it was he who drew the congressional resolution under which the Stanley committee investigated the United States Steel Corporation was given to the Senate lobby committee, today. by Henry AB. Martin, head of a so called antitrust league.
 Martins testimony, less gripping and less startling than Lamar's, yester- day, when the latter blandIy told of confidential relations with Wall street leaders and his Representations of con- gressnaen was corroborattve and sup elementary to Lamarss on several points. He testified that after Lamar drew the steel trust Investigation res o1uticr he, Martin, induced Represen- tattve Stanley to introduce it. He did not tell Stanley Lamar was its author but didn't try to suppress the fact.
 Lamar's telephone inpersonations. Persistent questioning by the Sena- tors failed to make Martin divulge what the stanti-trust league was or who composed it. He declined to give names of members or tell of the disposition of thousands of dollars ne said it had spent
 Edward Lauterbach, the New York lawyer who figured in David Lamars s fmpersonattons of congressman In telephone talks with New York hnan- ciers, was not on hand,. today, as the Senate lobby committee had expected when it resumed taking testimony.
 Lewis Cass Ledyard, attorney for J. P Morgan & Company, who had testf- fled, yesterday, resumed the stand for a moment before Martin, to testify that his information came from La mar and La.Iterbach.
 He said he presented to the secre- tary of the navy evidences of frauds in arrnor plate contracts and that he gave information to other government officials regarding violations of law by the strailroa,d trust, coal trust, steel trust, harvester trust and elevator trust. at a. cost Of more than $1OO,0O0- He maintained he drew many bills for Introduction in Congress, helped prepare for an investigation of the 'earmor trust and was very active in the preparation of resolutions for the money trust and steel trust in vestigations.
 Martin testified he had worked for the money trust' investigation, had conferences with Lamar who favored it, but he had nothing to do with the drawing of the investigation resolu- tiOns.

 The former topic occupied the fore noon and the latter the afternoon meeting. Among the speakers were Clifford Pinchot, former chief of the bureau of forestry, Herbert Knox Smith, former commissioner of cor poratfons and Oscar S Straus, of New York.
 '~The conservation question" Mir Pinchotsaid, ''nes at the root of every commercial problem for 1t is the prob lem of shelter and clothes which are nothing but natural resources prepared for the use of men,.
 MT Smith said that the natural re- sources were one of the central issues in the Progressive advance. "The Pro gressive program he said, demands that the benefits of our natural wealth shall be equally distributed to all citizens. This is not now the case Partly by fraud, partly by crime but mainly because of our mistaken na- tional policy we have placed the bulk of our nations natural wealth in pr1- vate hands for a nominal price"
 He advocated that the federal gov eriment retain the title to timber, mineral and water properties.

Two ARKANSAS men
Will HANG TODAY

Fort Smith, Aug. 1.-Two hang
ings will take place in Arkansas this
week. Odss Davidson, 3O-year-old
farmer. IS to be hanged at Harrison
today for the murder of Ella Barham.
whose mutilated body was found in a
hog pen near Pleasant Ridge last No
vember Omer Davis, aged Is, will
hang at Fayetteville on Thursday for
killing Nellie Moneyhun, daughter of
minister, because she rejected his
attentions and had chosen another for
her future husband.
Davidson was brought from the
Carroll county Jail at Berryville to
Harrison Sunday. He has been con-
fined in Carroll county almost contin-
uously since his arrest for fear that
he would be lynched The large force
of deputies used in bringing him to
Harrison lends color to the belief that
he is still insecure from mob danger.
The death sentence in the Davis case
has never been appealed, and neither
has application for clemency been
made to the governor

Love the Real, Not an Ideal,

It is SO easy to love an ideal, and
love 1t ardently. 1t has no obtrusiye
incarnation. 1t does not fret nor vex

dfsagreeable noise; it never puts
Its knife into its mouth; it's boots

ache; II never worries you with cues.

1t never leaves you when solitude Is
irksome. 1t is beautiful, inaccessible.
adorable forever; and we may love ii
till the heart grows sterile for earth,
waiting to bloom In heaven.
Yet in my poor humble way of
thinking there seems to be more
merit In loving these poor human Gre
atures whom we see about us every
day than n loving the distant, mac
oessible ideal that can neither be bet.

we can lavish on it.--From "Kirstie, !"

Shiftless Lot,

A little cross-firing was going on be.
tween the Texas and Arkansas law
makers when Senator Culberson said:
Arkansas Is suburb of Texas, and
there are some powerful good people
there, but about the most shiftless
family | ever heard Of lived in that
state. The family belonged to the nu-
,merous Smiths. Old Daddy Smith
was very sick, and neighbor called
to see about his condition He found
no one at home, except a daughter-in-
law, who informed him that the rest
OF the family had gone to see their
daddy buried The neig Dor was a re-
lgious man, and inquired of the daugh-
ter-in-law If the old gentleman had
made any preparations for eternity.
NO. replied the woman, 'nothin' more
than to give the two boys boss
apiece. He knew they'd never own
one eff they had to work for It,"

Blankets Grow on Trees.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador,
and while the idea of an all WOOL fresh
from the forest, bed covering might
give insomnia and a backache to the
child Of civilization who likes to snug
gle comfortably under several lay
ers Of down and wool, the natives find
1t all right. as in fact it is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket, he hunts up demajagua tree
and cut from it five or six foot
section Of the peculiarly soft, thick
bark. This Is dampened and beaten
until the f1exibility of the sheet Is
much increased
The rough gray exterior is next
peeled off and the sheet dried in the
sun. The result is blanket, soft,
light and fairly warm, of an attrac-
tive cream color. 1t may be rolled
into compact bundle without hurt
and with ordinary usage will last fox
several years.

IN HOUSES OF coRNsTALK
Primitive Dwelling Places That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Class Of
Egyptian Peasants.

On the outskirts of Alexandria we
passed numerous groups of Bedouins
camping by the side of the Mahmou

women, dressed alike in the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
at work. The fields We're dotted with
curious doorless structures made Of
cornstalks. They are used as tempo

year, as, for instance, when the crops
are being gathered.
Later on | entered one, and found
1t to be not more than five feet
square; one could not stand upright
inside. The place contained nothing
but few jars and cooking utensils.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up in their clothes at
night, covering the heads also, but
leaving the feet bare. The hut | saw

End View.

We know of some instances where
common lath has been used but it
seems to us better to use the lath made
from one-halfinch material.
The 2x4's will not need any sort Of
iron hoops. The inside sheeting and
the beveled lath are strong enough to
resist all lateral pressure. If inch
lumber is used and lath as suggest
ed it would be well to put on the
outside some wooden hoops three feet
apart. These hoops may BIZ nailed to
the 2x4s.
The capacity of the silo is sufficient
for Is milk cows. We believe that
silo II feet In diameter and 80 to 80
Feet high would be almost better to

move about one and one-half to two
inches of silage per day, especially in
summer, if it is to be kept in good

A successful poultryman is a good

A successful poultryman is a good
feeder.
Poultry will not thrive upon an ex-
elusive grain diet
| The floor of the poultry house
should be so constructed and of such
material that it is dry.
! Selection OF breeding stock is one OF
the most important duties connected
, with the poultrymans work.
| The busy hen is the money maker
The singing hen is laying hen. Be
wise and choose accordingly.
| Put the pillow or spade into every
portion of the poultry yards and see
how the hens will thank you.
The quality of eggs has much to do
with their selling ability. The better
the quality the better they sell.
Fowls that are compelled to sleep
In a draught contract colds, which
often develop into bronchitis, diph-
liberia or roup.
II there be one thing more essential
to success in poultry rearing than an
other, it is to go slow, and learn wis.
dom as you go.
To be successful in any line of work
requires forethought and judicious
planning. Especially is this SO in the
raising of poultry
No poultry farm is complete with
out few COWS, as skim milk is not
only cheap feed, but profitable one
for fowls at all ages.
When you contine your birds in
coops you should be very careful not
to feed too heavily or you will give
them bowel complaint
The necessity Of thoroughly clean
Ing the poultry houses at this season
of the year is obvious to all who give
the subject much thought.
One person on the farm should have
charge of the poultry, and that per-
son should not be the hired man or
boy. but some member of the family.
