WEBB BILL BECOMES LAW
Executive, Who Had Bill Ten Days,
Commended II Permitted the States
to interfere With Commerce.

Washington, March 3.-By a vote Of
244 to IS, the house Saturday re-
passed over President Taft's veto the
Webb bill, prohibiting shipments Of
intoxicating liquors into dry" states.
The senate passed it over the veto
last Friday night and the bill now
becomes a law.
Only one other time in the last is
years has congress overridden a presi-
dents veto. That was when the Rainey
river dam bill was passed yer Presi-
dent Roosevelt's dis%approval.
The move to override the veto vas
brought up in the house Immediately
following the reading of the message.
Chairman Clayton of the judiciary
committee moved to reconsider the
Webb bill and pass it over the presi-
dents veto and the general debate fol-
lowed.
The Webb bill passed both houses
of congress and went to the president
ten days ago. The veto message
reached the senate about 8 o'clock
Friday afternoon, accompanied by an
opinion from Acknowledgement Wick
ershan. Basing his decision on the
attorney-general's findings, the presi-
dent expressed the belief that the
measure was clearly unconstitutional
because it gave the states the right to
interfere with interstate commerce.
The senate took up the bill at once.
The opinion Of Attorney-General
Wickersham was not read, and Sen
ator Kern asked that a final vote on
the overriding of the veto be delayed
until Saturday, SO senator's might have
the opportunity to examine the attor-
n~ey-general's arguments. A motion
made by Kern to postpone the vote
until IL o'clock Saturday was defeat.

GOVERNMENT SUES
GLUCOSE TRUST
$so,oOo.Ooo COMBINATION CHARGED
WITH ENTERING INTO lLLE-
GAL CONTRACTS.
MONOPOLY is ALLEGED
Dissolution Is Asked in Civil Action
Charging Unfair Competitive
Methods in Violation of
Sherman Law.

New York, March 3.-Dissolution of
the Corn Products Refining Co, an
alleged starch. glucose and syrup
trust is sought by the Federal gov
eminent in a civil antitrust suit filed
here Saturday charging the $80,OO0,00O
combination with entering conspira-
cies and contracts to destroy compe-
tition in violation of the Sherman law.
The refining company is alleged to
have kept the prices of corn products
at unreasonably lower figures to har-
ass and discourage independent manu-
fa~cturers. Controlling &c per cent of
the entire American production of the
starch and glucose, and 80 per cent
of the interstate trade in mixed syrups
the alleged trust is charged with fix
ing resale prices; with manufacturing
cheap grade candy at unreasonably
low prices in retaliation against con-
PETITIONERS who buy starch and glucose
from independents; with practically
suppressing the private brands Of
mixed syrups of grocers by quoting
low prices On its own syrups, and
with unlawful threats and contracts
to destroy competition.
Aside from dissolution, the govern.
ment asks for an injunction prohibit.
ing the alleged restraint of trade. The
suit recalls the long drawn out fight
between the department of agriculture
and the Corn Produce Refining Co,
over the branding of it's own syrup.

She Married Him.

In a well-known colored school in
the south the lesson in general his
tory one day was on the life of Queen
Elizabeth.
Thomas, did Queen Elizabeth ever
marry?" asked the teacher.
Yes, ma'am, I think she did" re-
piled Thomas.
Are you quite sure?"
yes, ma'am, the book says she did.
ut does? Will you please find it?"
Whereupon Thomas opened to the
lesson and to the great amusement of
the teacher read the statement that
Queen Elizabeth was married to her
realm"
There" said he, triumphantly,
doesn't it say she was married?
don't exactly know who the gentleman
was, but it certainly says she married
him."

Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. It is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, 80 could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the SAINT reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as un-
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent Of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
saking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine a horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do II.
Dairymen also now clip the COWS all
over two or three times a year. The tanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

my hands. The inside Of my hands

anything like It and hope I never will

Apprentice Not Always a Youth.

Jefferson City The supreme court
decided that an apprentice is not al
ways a youth learning a trade, but
may be also a person middle-aged or
old who is studying a trade. The opin-
ion was rendered by Judge Graves in
the case of Gus Bender, a plumbers
apprentice of ST. Louis, who was ar
rested and fined 500 for falling to
procure a license to practice plumb
ing. Bender proved to the criminal
court of corrections that he was an
apprentice to a licensed plumber. The
supreme court affirmed this, and in
doing SO declared an apprentice is any
body learning a trade.
