WELCOME

Washington, April @. = Women
leaders in social and official life are
at their wits end today over the
problem of the invitations for the
national welcome breakfast" that
will be given for Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson and Mrs. Thomas r. Mar
shall Saturday noon. The banquet
hall engaged for the event will ac-
commodate $50 guests. The blue

than 1900 eligibles and already there
are heart burning and jealousies.
The feeling has broken out open
ly among the women who insist upon
recognition. The national Democrat
ic Woman's league already has an
nounced that it would not be repre-
scented at the banquet because the
seating space accorded It was not
sufficient for its members. There are
other defections.
The breakfast will be purely a
social affair and there will be no

ONLY rs PER CENT OF LAND
AREA OF U S is IMPROVED

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside appears an article showing
how explosives can be used in clear
ing land. The author says that with
proper handling there is practically
no danger and excellent results are
secured after little practice. Follow
ing is an extract:
only about 20 percent of the en-.
tire area of the United States is i'm
proved farm land yet we hear already
the wall of new settlers and would-be
landowners who find improved farms
too expensive for their limited CAPT.
tai and who claim that unimproved
farm land is more scarce. Statistics,
however, show that in Michigan and
Wisconsin neatly fifty per cent of the
land is still in the unimproved state
and can be purchased at very cheap
rate. This unimproved land consists
mostly of cut-over timber lands, land
containing a second growth of timber
and rocky lands too rough to be prof
itably worked. 'n
only those who have tried to clear
such land by explosives know how ef-
ficient the method Is and what a
great time and labor saver 1t is COM
pared to the primitive man, horse and
machinery method. The explosive
method is of especial interest to new
settlers and those Of limited capital
because it requires no large out.
lay Of money and every cent invested
can be Immediately used for the pur-
pose Of clearing the farm. Besides
this, II properly handled explosives
are safe as tho machinery method. Elk
plosives will do as good work in clear
ing land as the most expensive mach
inery and generally at less total cost

BURYING WHOLE PEACH.
ORCHARDS IN ORDER
TO ESCAPE FROST

According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside, the burying OF en-
tire peach-orchards for protection
against late spring frosts Is a COM
mon practice in the intermountain
fruit valleys Of eastern Colorado. In
areas where not more than one full
crop in seven or eight years has been
previously harvested annuai yields
are now being counted on. A net re-
turn Of $25 from each peach-tree is
not uncommon. The following Is an
extract showing how peach trees are
buried:
irrigation facilitates the task of
burying the trees. Just before hard
freeze is due in the late fall, the Col
orado orchardist digs trench to
each peach tree which he expects to
lay down and turns on the water al

Washington, April S. President
Wilson tonight, virtually on the eve
Of the converting Of Congress in extra
session, was in command Of the tar
in situation, determined to uphold the
tariff pledges of the Democratic plat
form adopted at Baltimore.
Important additions to the tarih
free list. as reported tonight, include:
Raw wool, boots and shoes, hide
leather, skins, meats, larG, salt, iron
ore, timber, agricultural implements,
sewing machines typewriters, prfn.-
ing presses, road machinery, news

ging, barbed wire and steel rails.
The President was prepared to
have with stood renewed attacks up
on the free raw wool schedule as en-
bodied in the bill to be introduced
from the ways and means committee
Monday, and delayed decision only
on the sugar schedule, left open for
senators and representatives from
Louisiana and beet sugar states to
agree to accept free sugar in three
years.
Caucus Pledge to Bind
So firm Is the Presidents attitude
reported to be an attitude backed by
the majority Of his party in both
branches of Congress-, that any effort
of legislators to escape caucus
pledge on the wool schedule would
not be tolerated. The President aud

free raw wool, there will be no .rou-

the Senate leaders propose that there

1t was asserted h. some leaders
that efforts of senators to dodge a
caucus pledge on the wool schedules
would not be tolerated. The Presi-
dent. in talking today to Senators
Walsh and Meyers OF Montana, made
pla n his firm position on the wool
tariff, declaring THAI the party could
not afford to place any tariff on raw
wool
Negotiations Continued
Negotiations on the sugar schedule
continued throughout the day, no de-
cision having been reached at a late
hour today, as to the position to be
taken by the opponents of free sugar.
1t became evident during today that
proposals had been made between the
sugar and wool partisans looking to
a combination that might force the
President and the Senate leaders to
give some protection to both indus
tries. This danger has worried the
Senate committee for some time;
but II was claimed tonight that the
influence of President Wilson and the
demand that all Democrats abide by
the majirity decision of the party
would force all but one or two Demo
cratic senators into final acceptance

Island, He Says-Finds Securities
Market Improved

For the purpose of making a last paw
ment upon the recently acquired Dauphjn
Island near Mobile, j. NJ Dewberry left
yesterday for Cleveland. The announce
ment was made some time ago that Mr..
Dewberry and associates had taken over
the island which will be developed on an
elaborate scale. Mr.. Dewberry said be-
fore leaving yesterday that the market
for securities was rapidly improving and
that he expected little difficulty in inter
esting clients in the upbuilding of
Dauphin Island.
The plans of Mr.. Dewbery as already
announced include the construction of an
over-sea railroad of short mileage from
the land point to Dauphin Island over
some reefs there which Will not necessi-
tate very deep dredging. The island will
be equipped with docks of concrete and
steel. while stations for bunker coal will
be constructed.
The promoters of Daphin Island hope
TO make that point the principal clearing
place for the immense traffic that will
pass from the Panama canal to the south
ern states
Mr.. Dewberry has been working on this
scheme for many years and is more en-
thusiastic than ever before. In addition
to the shipping interests to be built UP at
that port Mr. Dewberry plans to arrange
summer and winter resort on the island.
He says that it is secondary consider
alton, but that eventually there will be no
point in the whole south more delightful
or more popular among those seeking
gulf points for pleasure visits.
