LONG DRAWN

"SNOW WILL BE THICK ON THE

SHERBROOKE, Que, Aug. 90
THE snow will lie thick on the ground
before Harry Thaw leaves Canada"
predicted VIM. A. Stone, former gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, Thaw's leading
attorney, today.
Mr.. Stone limited that a test of the
constitutionality of the Canadian i'm
migration laws will be made on behalf
of Thaw and that the treaty between
the United States and Canada will
play large part in this.
Under the immigration laws, = Ca
madam subject can appeal to the
courts if he is held as one who has en-
tered Canada by stealth, explained
Thaw's attorney. can American cit
izen, however, is allowed no such ap.
peal. This despite the fact that the
United States treaty with Canada
guarantees the same treatment and
the same rights to American citizens
as to British subjects
To make test of the constitution
atty of the immigration laws of Can
da it would be necessary for Thaw tc
appeal to the state department al
Washington, which in turn would re
quire an Interpretation of the law
from the Dominion parliament. Fol
this reason it was learned today Thav
has been massing large part of his
forces in Washington.

TAYLORSPORT. KY, Aug. 20
Fifteen minutes after he had saved
Louis Philips, a. carpenter, from
drowning in the Ohio river, William
Zurlbry, one of the oldest citizens of
this place, was shot and instantly kill

PLANS OF BANKERS
ON CURRENCY BILL
SENATE MORE FAVORABLE TO
WISHES THAN THE
HOUSE.
MAY open FOR DISCUSSION
Greater Progress Made Toward the
Support of Presidents Policies Dur
ing Past Week Than at Any Time
Since Opening of Present Session.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The an
swer of the administration forces in
the house to the criticisms of the cur
rency bill made by the conference of
bankers at Chicago Saturday will be
a Tightening up of the lines and
more vigorous Endorsement of the bill
as it now stands. Informal confer
ences of democratic members of the
house currency committee today en-
phasized the fact that the active sup
porters of the Presidents currency
plan expect to pass the measure
through the house without substan-
tial change.
The amendments proposed by the
bankers, it was pointed out by house
leaders today, all were considered in
detail when the bill originally was
prepared and in the long debate over
its provisions in the house committee
on banking and currency.
! The proposal to reduce the quaint
ty of reserves and giving country
banks the privilege of keeping part of
their reserves in the large cities had
many supporters and ultimately be
worked into the new bill in the SEN
ate; but the change is not expected
in the house.
The bankers will have an opportu.
nifty to present their views openly to
congress after the currency bill gets
into the senate. Chairman Owen, OF
the senate currency committee, said
today that while hearings had not
been arranged, he expected leading
representatives of the various fac
tions among the bankers of the coun
try would be invited to give their
views of the bill to the senate com
mittee.
81 see a great deal Of merit In the
proposal to reduce somewhat the
quantity of the reserves" said Sena
tor Owen. 1--WE have not discussed
the new legislation sufficiently in
committee, however, TO know what
changes may be made in the BILL
The fact that leading bankers hole
different views of the effect of the
new legislation, particularly with re
gasd to the possible reduction Of
loans and curtailment CT credit, has
led members of the senate commit

LIFT TARIFF BURDEN
Farmers viii Be Benefited by
Underwood Bill.
Statements to the Contrary by Hide
Bound ProtsotlonlstS VIII Have
Little Weight With the Az.
rleultural Voter.

The American farmer sells his
goods in a free-trade market, because
farm produce 10 exported from this
country. and farmers have not yet
formed a trust. In a few sections he
derives a little benefit from the duty
on eggs and live cattle, and It is just
possible that the wool trust and the
sugar trust permit him to taste the
profits accruing from the Dutch
standard" and schedule X. That is
the extent of agricultural benefits
from the tariff.
The American farmer buys his sup
plies in market protected by an
almost unscalable tariff wall. When
he builds q house, everything he uses,
from cement in the foundations to
shingles on the roof, Is increased in
price by the tariff tax. His agricul-
tural implements are taxed Is per
cent, besides being further boosted
in cost by the tariff on iron and iron
manufactures His harness is taxed,
his hoes are taxed, his wagons are
taxed, his crockery, his clothing, his
coal-the very match he uses to light
his pipe, all pay tribute to the tariff
barons.
The Underwood bill now pending in
the senate reduces all these burdens
on the farmer and abolishes some Of
them altogether. Yet Senator Albert
B. Cummins has the impudence to
arise in his place and vow in fearful
tones that the Underwood tariff will
ruin the American farmer"
Does Senator Cummins think the
agricultural population Of Iowa stu
pid enough to accept such pifie as
craftsmanship?

SOME REASONS FOR DISAPPOINT
MENT IN CORN CROPS.

I have just been over a field Of corn
that is not going to make the yield II
should and would II it had been given
the right cultivation throughout the cul-
tivatng season. The man broke his land
deep last fall and followed the turning
pillow with the subsoil pillow. In the
spring he prepared a good seed bed and
planted il we'll; he started out we'll
with his cultivation, but his wheat harv-
est came on and he let the sprouts and
weeds get well established and they
drew on his available supply Of plant
food and retarded the growth of the
corn with the result that his corn has
round instead of flat stalk; has
light instead Of a dark green color. He
has started to clean it out but the neg
lect will cut off from one-fourth to one
third Of the yield per acre if ii had been
kept clean. He cannot realize that the
loss he has sustained is at least five
times what it would have cost to have
kept it clean.
So many farmers over crop or slack
off when the sun gets hot and the neg
lect at the time seriously affects their
yields. The successful farmer is the
one who pushes his crop all the time in
stead of letting his crop push him. It
is poor economy 70 do 80 per cent Of
work on a crop and neglect 10 per cent
at a critical time that will cut the yield
half in two. | have seen many farm
ers do so. have also seen corn planted
too thick and neglect to thin until the
corn was waist high, the extra stalks
robbing those remaining of just that pro-
pOrtionate amount of plant food. Corn
should be thinned just as soon as danger
of the cut worm is passed when it is six
inches high 1t is better still to be care
full in the selection of seed. Plant Just
as you want the corn to stand. The oc-
casiona missing stalk does not amount
TO as much loss as. the drain on the
! pant loOu NltlN Illt Nblll 10 pldHNNN lOD
thick and allowed to stano too long
without thinning. IT is poor economy
for a farmer to spend money for fer
tilizer to grow a crop of corn, then leave
it standing to thick too long or allow
weeds or grass to grow along with the
corn and take up plant food intended
for the corn. The FARMER should never
undertake to cultivate more than he IS
sure he can cultivate thoroughly and
when it needs it, and he should know
that anything allowed to grow with his
corn is taking away just so much of
plant food the corn should have. Any
thing that is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll The man who prac-
tees this truth will succeed, while the
slipshod way means failure every time.

EDUCATION AND VALUES.

A western university has gathered
an array Of figures and a volume Of
information and arrived at the con.
clusion that the average value OF a
college education is $4,000. II one
goes TO college, therefore. and is just
average he will have $4,000 more in
his pockets some day than he would
have had II he had gone to work four
years soonerl All OF which is non
sense. The measuring Of the value OF
an education In terms OF dollars and
cents is a false mensuration, and the
last one which a university should lay
stress. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Such attempts as this give
the foreign critics Of our educational
Ideals ground for their sneers at our
diploma factories" The old bour.
geois question, win a college eduea-
ton enable my son to make the bust
ness pay better than my experience
has done?" is a natural one with a
certain type Of mind, but It betrays
a total Ignorance Of what education
means and what It seeks. Education
and technical training are two differ
ent things. though they can and SHOULD
both be acquired.

Believers in Special Interests.

The great strength of the special
interests is not their hirelings. bought
and paid for, body and soul. 1t is
in the support of men unbought and
unpurchasable, who really believe
that special interests have right to
dictate legislation, right which the
nation will violate at its peril-men
like Lodge, willing to save the sugar
beet millionaires postage bills, in
their fight to tax whole people for
the benefit of their own pockets.
Such men cannot be converted
They cannot be brought to repentance.
for they hold the monstrous gospel Of
privilege with an honest heart They
can only be retired, while the world
goes on in a new way

made in the United States was ST.
645,OOO,O0O. About $2OO,OOO,0O0 more
was paid for imported beers and whis-

Trust the President.

The policy of the administration re.
speeding Mexico has had the approval
of public opinion. Jingoism and self
ish interest have tried to discredit 1t
without success. AS tension grows
and critical events once more loom
up, there is only one rule the level
headed American public can afford tc
follow:
Trust the president.
The president is better informed as
to all factors of the situation than any
editor or politician. He has the full
est knowledge, the fullest powers, and
the fullest responsibilities. His will,
his intelligence, and his patriotism
can be relied upon. He is on the
bridge. He is in command.
Trust the president.

Shocking stand-Pat9ers.

Senator Gallinger sternly disap-
proves OF Mr.. Wilson's methods. He
complains that the president came
dangerously near lobbying" in some
of the things he has done in connec.
ton with the tariff bill
Most Of the stand-patter Republicans
in the senate feel the same way.
These old-fashioned protectionists are
terribly strait-laced in their notions
of propriety. They were brought up
In the strict tradition that invisible
government was the only correct sys-
tenn; that tariff schedules were to be
framed In secret on The confidential
advice of special interests; and that
the rights Of privacy of professional
lobbyists should always be respected
as sacredly as the relations Of attorney
and client Their Utmost moral nature
revolts at the thought of a president
speaking out plainly about the 'insidi-
GUS lobby"
The times have changed. There
can be no doubt about it. But the
Gallingers and Penroses and their
kind are incapable of change.

Germ has invented what he calls
"cent-hour" meter designed to give a
positive answer to the question, How
much does 1t cost to operator" The
meter is mounted on a pedestal with
q shelf attached on which the device
is placed. When any current consum.
ing appliance is connected with the
meter a hand on the dial points in.
stantly to the number of cents per
hour 1t costs to operate it. 1t is espe-
cially useful in demonstrating to a
prospective consumer the cost Of cur
rent for a device that consumes en-.

answering a most important question
has more weight with the customer
than verbal reply. The reading Of
