the TARIFF BILL IS READY
THE SENATE FINANCE COMMIT.
TEES LA5oRs COMPLETED.
Senators Are Proud OF Their Work and
Believe Measure viii Pass With.
out Trouble.

Washington, July 12.-It was with
feelings of deep relief and satisfac'
ton that the Democratic majority OF
the senate finance committee saw the
tariff bill emerge finally from its COM
mittee and caucus stages and go into
the senate in a form of which its
Democratic revisers mostly are very
proud and in which, they feel conf
dent, 1t will pass the senate.
The consideration Of the measure
by the finance committee and the Dem
ocratic senatorial caucus has con.
sumed weeks Of constant work and
has been marked by sharp clashes be-
tween those charged with the duty of
revising the House bill and getting 1t
in shape to command the vutes OF
enough Democratic senators to insure
it's final adoption. =.
The majority members of the finance
committee say they believe that the
bill as it was reported to the senate
will be found not only consistent ana
workable, but thoroughly responsive
to the demands of the country for
fearless downward revision of the ex-
cessive rate of the present tariff act
Moreover, the senate revisers believe
the bill, while carrying slightly lower
rates in almost all schedules than the
measure as made up by the house and
with free list considerably extent.
ed especially as regards food stuffs,
will nevertheless yield to the govern
ment a larger annual revenue than
the house bill.
On the whole, the outlook for the
bill as revised by the senate majority
is promising. Final action on the bill
in the senate can hardly be taken be-
fore the ia--. days Of August. Debate
on the measure wlm not begin, accord
ing to the present program. until next
Wednesday. It will run for five, per-
haps for six weeks, but after the bill
passes the senate the outlook Is for
quick agreement in conference BE-
tween the representatives of the twp
houses, 30 that 1t is not improbable
the President will have affixed his sig
nature to the measure and 1t will 60
into effect in its main features by
| September 1.

Rebels to Use Aeroplane.

Ell Paso. Tex, July 14.-An Amer
lean who visited the camp of Col. Or
tega, Constitutionalist, at Guadalupe,
thirty miles down the Rio Grande
from Jaurez, two days ago, says Or
tega's forces are guarding disman-
tied aeroplane which they expect to
set up and use in accommodating the
Federal Notifications around Jaurez.
Another American who, was at
Guadalupe Sunday says he photo
graphed the entire camp with the ex-
ception of a large tent to which he
was refused admission, without rea-
son given.
Two weeks ago an employe of the
Southern Pacific Railroad stated here
that mechanician who arrived on
the same train from Los Angeles had
shown him parts Of an aeroplane, in
Guiding two large boxes, in the bag
gage car, which the mechaniciap said
contained the aerocraft dismantled.
The passenger said the machine was
consigned to the Constitutionalists.
Federals defending Guaymas re-
ceived at least 1900 re-enforcements
from the south today. The added
strength was disconcerting to the in
surgents, who had been delaying an
attack on the town until they could
get more heavy artillery for use
against the gunboats in the harbor.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 14.-Camel

long journeys into the interior can be

This will not be the first time cam

purpose. jefferson Davis. when
Secretary of War in Pierce's Cabinet
tried it out. Under Davis direction
40 of the animals and their Armenian
drivers were imported and a cara
vansary build near Cape Verde. Some
of these buildings still remain. But
lust about the time the beasts and
their drivers became acclimated and
and tests were to start the Civil War
broke, and Davis was elected Presi-
dent of the Confederacy. Because
of the feeling against Davis, and part
" because of the unsettled condition
Of the Government for so many
years, the camel scheme was drop

800 feet wide. The loss was estima-
ed at from SIS, 600 to $4,000, Two
hundred calves were in the pens

COUNTY SCHOOt
AND TEACHERS

4 u supt +. n. Ailssea
Teachers examination viii NJ held
/ in Butler. August Ia. The 4 The
last examination for this yeaI md
those who wish to secure certificates
this year will have this last emporium
ity. Those who taught last year and
did not do satisfactory work pn the
Reading Circle or attend Simmer
School will have to take this exaini-
nation in August. The examination
will be given on this in the afternoon
of the second day.
The School Board meeting has
been set for August 4th. We were
compelled to make it a little earlier
on account of other things coming
up during the month. We have tried
to avoid conflicts with all entertain
ments with this meeting.
The August meeting ofr.teachers
has been set for August 1929. In
this we tried to avoid conflicting with
other affairs but find that some have
set their dates for the same time. /
regret this but sure cannot be chang
ed very readily now as we have Sc
cured speakers as their time is all
taken now so it would not be safe to
undertake this. A program of this
meeting will soon be ready to mail
to all the teachers. A few clerks
have not sent in the name and adj
dress of their teacher.
The School Board in Double Branch
district has built new concrete
porch and improved things in gener-
al. This is much needed piece Of
work and will add greatly to the com
fort of tine pupils and teacher.
Enterprise School Board is putting
a new foundation under the building
and building a porch too. They will
receive State Aid this year and will
be able to put their house in good re-
pair in a few years without any cost
on their part.
Oak Grove School Board is max
ing some improvement on their build
ing and will have one of the best in
the county when finished. They
turned the work over to A. L. Gil
more which is as good as to say it
will be done right.
Many of our schools will have
storm cellars after this as there are
several being built this year. This
is a commendable thing to do.
!. Valley School will have a new
slate blackboard and several new
desks next year. They are adding
something each year to make their
school better.
Miami Center is painting and re-
modling their building in many ways
that will add to its appearance and
comfort.
Prairie Grove will reseat their
building with new and up-to-date
desks. This is a much needed inn
provement and the board is to be
; commended for this.
Several of the clerks are delin-
quent on their July reports on &C.
count of the Township Trustee being
slow with his report. Not half Of
the trustees have filed their reports
here in this office yet and their
blanks were mailed to them June
18th.

Enthusiastically in favor of Diaz.
Col. Marc Mass embarked on the
steamer Progresso yesterday with
700 men, cannon and machine guns
at Tampico, bound for Matamoros to
cooperate with the land forces now
marching to retake the port, in the
hands of 1000 rebels under Lucio
Blanco. Five hundred federals left
Laredo, marching down the Rio
Bravo; another column left Monterey
under Gen. Santiago F. Rivero; also
General Highinio Aguilar, with 2OC0
men at Jiminez, will join the attack
simultaneously with the above men
toned forces to recapture the city.
The war department has ordered
General Antonio Olea, commander Of
the military forces in Guerrero, fight
ing Zapata, to proceed to Monclova
to relieve General Joaquin Mas, who
has been appointed military governor
of Coahuila. Mas column is now
at Sabinas, marching on Eagle pass.
The local press calls attention to
the fact that neither Bryan nor other
cabinet officers have commented on
the candidacy of Gamboa, the choice
Of the Catholic party for president.
The constitutionalists declare they
will take no part in the election. In
printed circular sent out from this
city by Catholic representatives in
congress favors postponing the date
of the elections. Liberal members
are strongly against the idea.
Traffic was established today be-
tween San Luis and Tampico; also
north with Saltillo. The postOffice
authorities are routing mail via Vera
Cruz until fully assured that traffic
will not be interrupted again between
here and the border.
Spaniards and Mexicans celebrated
the 40Oth anniversary of the discov-
cry of the Pacific ocean last night at
the Spanish club, and one speaker
said that the idea of building the
Panama canal was projected in 1880.

Isthmian Traffic.

New York Tribune: 1t is probably
true, as the Morning Post of London
says, that the opening of the Panama
canal will lead to many consequences
at present not foreseen. 1t is so
probable that we may regard it as
certain that the event will lead to
consequences of immense Importance
and benef1cence which can even now
be foreseen by those who have the
gift of vision.
AS an inspiration to such foresight
observe the progress of transisth-
mian commerce at Panama and
Tehauntepec in the last seven years.
The total value on both routes was
21,OOO,OOO in 1907, s42,OOO,OOO in
1908, $62,OO0,OOO in 1909, $82,OOO,-
900 in 1910, $1O3, 100000 in 1911 and
S141 100000 in 1912. The reduction
in the value Of Hawaiian sugar ship
ped to the eastern states caused the
figures for the fiscal year Of 1913
to decline s132,O0O,OOO; but in that
year there was an increase over 1912
Of S5,000,000 in west-bound traffic.
We do not know if the record Of
any trade route Of the world shows
a more noteworthy increase. Per-
haps the supreme emphasis is put
upon its significance by the addi-
tional fact that in 1906, the year be-
fore the Tehauntepec route was op-
ened, the Panama route, with a
monopoly of isthmian transit, car
ried only s6,OOO,OO0.
There is no apparent reason why
the increase in traffic should not
continue. I

hat the date will be announced soor
The letter to DR.. Smith follows:
Dear Sir: l would like to know
if your board would favor a plan
Of holding a farmers institute in
the school house and if SO, just
what date would be most salts
factory for the people in your
district for an institute this fall
or winter.
Plans have been made to hold
these institutes in each school
district, if the meetings are de-
sired. The program will consist
of two topics-one to be given
in the afternoon and one in the
evening. The afternoon topic
would probably be "The Preven-
tion of Animal Diseases" by DR..
Walter J. Taylor, a veterinarian
of experience, who has been ap-
pointed as the local representa-
tive of the state experiment sta
ton. He will have his permanent
headquarters in the Imperial val
ley experiment station and will
be fully acquainted with the local
conditions and troubles, and
therefore able to be of consider
able practical value TO livestock
interests. His topic will include
demonstration work in vaccinat-
ing hogs for hog cholera, if it is
so desired. The evening topic
would be, "The Imperial Expert
ment Farm; Its Purpose and
work"
IF these meetings are practi-
cal and are of value, the practice
can be continued in the future
when desired. For example, if
any special problem arises, such
as control of the alfalfa butterfly,
the handling Of some special
alkali trouble in the soil, or the
treatment of some special animal
disease, special speakers can be
furnished who are posted on the
subjects chosen.
To make the institute success
it had ben suggested that the
women of the district might pre-
pare a picnic supper. The after
noon session would be over in
time to get home to their chores
and return in time for the sup
per and for the evening session.
If your board favors this plan,
| will appreciate it if you will
write to me giving dates that
would suit your convenience and
giving any suggestions as to the
topics or programs you may
have. Mr.. Cooley, the county sup
erintendent of schools, is heartily
in favor of the plan and says that
so far as his office is concerned,
he would favor giving up an af-
ternoon of school for the pur-
pose.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
| remain
Respectfully yours,
WALTER E. PACKARD.

BOOKS BY PARCEL POST?
Congressman David Lewis of Mary
land, whose investigation of parcel
post did not cease when the parcel
post law was enacted, made several
valuable contributions to the public
knowledge on this subject in his re-
cent speech, but none was more va
liable than the one which corrected
the popular impression that all books
are barred from parcel post. AS M.
Lewis showed, only lighter books are
barred by law from the benefits IF
the new parcel post service.
Books and all third class matter
above four pounds are not now ship
able by parcel post, but / may say
that / know that the postmaster gen
eral has under advisement propo-

Little Leaks in
National Affairs
by Congressman Clyde II. Tavenner)

by Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner)
Washington, Sept 29.-The senate
lyst now is hot on the trail Of the
persons who have been making money
out Of the supreme court official
printing. Senators Chamberlain Of
Oregon, and Kern Of Indiana, are the
ones who have taken up the hunt. 1t
aas been discovered that the printing
Of the official publications of the
court, the decisions and so forth, cost
the government 80 cents the printed
page, very high price. The work
Is done in private printing shops. The
reporter of the supreme court has
Been letting the contracts.
As an idea of the steepness of the
price charged by private printers for
this work, the government printing
office has estimated on printing addi-
-ional copies of decisions for the use
Of senate members, and it's estimate
runs about five cents per page as
against the private price of 80 cents.
Since thousands Of pages Of decisions
are printed each year the excess
amounts to rather a large sum. SEN
ator Chamberlain has characterized
It as a "little graft" and Kern has
said that the charge Of 80 cents a
page was "simply iniquitous." Sen
ator Overman of North Carolina, es-
Inmates that the government could
save 100000 a year by letting the
government printing Office do the
work.
This is only one Of the many little
kaks through which the money
