The Agricultural Department OF the
Government is seeking to assist as never
before to make farming an efficient
business, of wide cooperative effort, in
quick touch with the markets for food
stuffs. The farmers and the Govern
ment will henceforth work together as
real partners in this field, where We
now begin to see our way very clearly
and where many intelligent plans are
already being put into execution.
The Treasury Of the United States
has, by timely and well-considered
distribution OF its deposits, facilitated
the moving of the crops in the present
season and prevented the scarcity OF
available funds too often experienced at
such times. But we must not allow
ourselves to depend upon extraordinary
expedients.. We must add the means by
which the farmer may make his credit
constantly and easily available and com
mand when he will the capital by

Washington, Dec. Before joint
session Of the two houses Of Congress
sitting in the chamber of the House Of
Representatives, and with the galleries
packed with distinguished audience,
President Wilson read bis first annual
message to the two bodies. The docu-
ment consisted of about 5000 words,
and, considering the many weighty
topics touched upon, was remarkably
brief The message in full follows:
Gentlemen OF the Congress: In pur-
suance Of my constitutional duty to
give to the Congress information Of the
state OF the Union,p / take the liberty
OF addressing you on several matters
which ought, as it seems to me, par
ticularly to engage the attention OF your
honorable bodies, as of all who study
the welfare and progress OF the nation.
l shall ask your indulgence il. ] ven
ture to depart in some degree from the
usual custom OF setting before you in
formal review the many matters which
have engaged the attention and called
for the action Of the several departments
Of the Government or which look tc
them for early treatment in the future
because the list is long, very long, and
would suffer in the abbreviation tC
which i should have to subject it.
| shall submit to you the reports o.
the heads OF the several departments
in which these subjects are set forth il
careful detail, and beg tnat they may
receive the thoughtful attention Of your
committees and Of all members Of tht
Congress who may have the leisure tc
study them Their obvious Importance,
as constituting the very substance o.
the business OF the Government, make'
comment and emphasis on my part un.
necessary.
The country, am thankful to say, is
at peace with all the world, and many
happy manifestations multiply about us
of a growing cordiality and sense o.
community Of interest among the na-
tions, foreshadowing an age Of settled
neace and good will. More and more
readily each decade do the nations mani
fest their willingness to bind themselves
by solemn treaty to the processes OF
peace, the processes Of frankness and
fair concession.

FAvoRs PEACE TREATIES.

So far the United States has stood al
the front OF such negotiations. She
will, ] earnestly hope and confidently
believe, give fresh proof Of her sincere
adherence to the cause of international
friendship by ratifying the several
treaties OF arbitration awaiting renewal
by the Senate. In addition to these, il
has been the privilege ofthe Department
OF State to gain the assent. in principle,
of no less than thirty-one nations, repre-
senting four-fifths Of the population Of
the world, to the negotiation OF treaties
by which it shall be agreed that when
ever differences OF interest or Of policy
arise which cannot be resolved by the
ordinary processes Of diplomacy they
shall be publicly analysed. discussed,
and reported upon tribunal chosen by
the parties before either nation de-
termines its course Of action.
There is only one possible standard by
which to determine controversies be-
tween the United States and other ma
tions, and that is compounded by these
two elements Our own honor and our
obligations to the peace Of the world;
A test SO compounded ought easily to be
made to govern both the establishment
Of new treaty obligations and the inter-
probation Of those already assumed.
There is but one cloud upon our horizon.
That has shown itself to the south OF us,
and hangs over Mexico. There can be
no certain prospect Of peace in America
until Gen. Huerta has surrendered his
usurped authority IN Mexico; until il is
understood on all hands, indeed, that
such pretended governments will not be
contenanced Or dealt with by the Govern
ment of the United States. We are the
friends Of constitutional government IN
America; we are more tlan its friends,
we are its champions; because in no
other way can our neighbors, to whom
we would wish in every way TO make
proof Of our friendship. work out their
own development in peace and liberty.

No doubtwe shall wish, and the coun
try will expect, this to be the central
subject OF our deliberations during the

many-sided and so deserving Of careful
and discriminating discussion that /

upon it 10 special message at a later
date than this. II is OF capital inn
portance that the business men Of this
country should be relieved of all un-
certainties OF law with regard to their
enterprises and investments and clear
path indicated which they can travel
without anxiety. 1t is as important
that they should be relieved Of embar-
rassment and set free to prosper as that
private monopoly should be destroyed.
The ways OF action should be thrown
wide open.

terms have not yet closed, the national
committees and the candidates for the
themselves, in order that
platforms may be framed by those re-
sponsible to the people for carrying
them into effect.

usurpation Of Vietoriano Huerta, who,
after a brief attempt to play the part Of
constitutional President, has at last cast
aside even the pretense OF legal right
and declared himself dictator.
AS a consequence, condition Of af-
fairs now exists in Mexico which has
made it doubtful whether even the most
elementary and fundamental rights
either of her own people or Of the citizens
of other countries resident within her
territory can long be successfully safe
guarded, and which threatens, il long
continued, to imperil the interests Of
peace, order and tolerable life in the
lands Immediately south Of US.
Even if the usurper had succeeded in
his purpose, in despite Of the constitu-
ton Of the Republic and the rights Of
its people, he would have set up nothing
but a precarious and hateful power,
which could have lasted but a. little
while, and whose eventual downfall
would have left the country in more
deplorable condition than ever
But he has not succeeded He has
forfeited the respect and the moral sup
port even Of those who we're at one time
willing TO see him succeed. Little by
little he has been completely isolated.
BY little every day his power and
prestige are crumbling and the collapse

it should; and upon its passage they will

RECEIVE CALL FOR 10000
WHITE PINE SEEDLINGS

East Lansing, Mich.-An unpre-
cedented sale of white pine seed
iings at the Michigan Agricultural
College forestry reserve this fall,
indicates that there is a movement
on foot to again reforest the state
with white pine. This movement
according to Professor F. NJ. San
ford of the forestry department,
is growing rapidly and many land
owners in the state who have soil
suitable for the growth of pine
are beginning to make inquiries
to his department for advice as to
the best methods of going about
the reforesting of their property
The call for white pine and
other trees, which thrive on light
soils has been exceptional this
fall as trees are used as wind
breaks and land anchors literally
the trees protecting fields with
shifting soils from winds so that
vetch, alfalfa, and other crops
can be grown.

Probate Judge Gardner, as it has

that the applicant is not entitled

applies to widows left destitute
with children.
The amounts being paid vary.
Circumstances alter a number of
cases and in instances of sickness
the limit of SO week is paid. No
amount higher than that can be
paid to any one child. A question
of residence has come up in sew

WISCONSIN'S INSURANCE
LAW Is NOW IN EFFECT

Madison, Wis.-The first policies
in a state life insurance fund in
America were issued recently by
the insurance department of Wis
consin. Former Speaker Chas. A.
Ingram of Durand, who introduced
the bill in the 1911 session to
create state insurance, received
the first policy.
Applications came from several
states, but under the laws policies
may be issued only to residents
of Wisconsin.
The law making provision for
state life insurance was enacted
after the idea had been worked
out by Commissioners of Insurance
Ekern and a legislative commit
tee. A study had been made of
similar laws in Germany, Great
Britain, Italy and Belgium.
No policy is issued for a larger a
mount than $1,000. When the num-
Der of policy-holders reaches 1000
the maximum policy issued will
be $4,000 and when the number
reaches 1000 the maximum policy
will be $4,000, the highest amount
authorized.
