T0HE fashion for folk dancing has
changed many things in dress
and society, and 1t mas en-
phasized the short skirt for
evening wear. This is not an
attractive fashion for women who have
stout figures and must have stately man
ners, and yet even they are apt to be
led away by the convenience of the
trainless' skirt.
The time was when women over forty
did not dance. They preferred to watch,
but that epoch has passed. There are
as many women Of forty and over in
dancing classes as there are young girls,
and there is no evening occasion from
which one is actually free from dancing;
it may only be half hour in which to
learn new steps. and It may be the in
term between coffee and midnight.
And no age is proof against the mad
ness. Even IL women of sixty decline
to dance even the modified step. wild
horses could not drag them from where
dancing is going on. AT all resorts IN
Europe this summer the several rows of
chairs around the bathrooms were filled
with dowagers. and often they stood In
line to get front seats with as much
eagerness as base ball fans at the world 8

Our Washington Letter.
SPECIAL to the REPUBLICAN.

Washington, April 28 There is
nothing which is a greater mystery to
the average person than how the
newspapers get their news. Here in
Washington there are perhaps 400 or
500 newspaper correspondents and
reporters who are constantly engaged
ir gathering news OF what is going on
and also forecas,ing what will come
to pass. 1t would seem that there
could be nothing happening of i'm
porance that they would not discov-
er and report to their papers, and yet
on very recent date 200 men engag-
ed in an industry which ct the time
was occupying large place in the
public eye, and which tnrns out a
product worth some 5000, 900, 900
annually. (this being very unofficial
estimate, met at a hotel in this city,
held several business meetings, and
adjourned, without one word about
their presence here being recorded in
the papers. The men composing the
convention were not seeking notor,sty,
but they were not especially trying to
avoid it and they thought it strange
that they were overlooked.
! TARIFF THE ONE TOPIC.
An incident like this serves to EN-.
phasize the great interest that is fell
in the tariff. Congress and the Pres.
ident are so much in the limeliph,
that other things appear of less conse.
quenCe than usual. The Japanes sc
question and the consideration of the
alien land law in California would a,
other times attract more attention
than they do now, although the mos,
prominent place in the news columns
Morgan County republican., 1913-05-01

has now been preempted by the Cali
fornia-Japauese controversy. At q.
most any other time, much space
would be given to the coal strike in
West Virginia and the peaceful settle
ment OF it which seems now to be
practically concluded, largely through
the sensible attitude Of the operators
whose position throughout appears to
have been quite generally misrepre-
sented and misunderstood. Even
the Bulgarian-Turkish war suffered a
partial eclipse in the news because of
the general interest in the tariff bill.
SENATE ACCEPTS BILL.
The most important development
OF the week in the tariff decision of
the Senate leaders to put the tariff bill
through substantially as it is in the
House. Hearings or conferences are
being held by the democratic major
ity of the Senate Finance Committee e
to allow Senator's to tell what changes
they think ought to be made in the
bill. The wool, sugar, lumber, lem
on and some other schedules have
been discussed. 1t is claimed that
the duty on lemons has brought in
So, ,sa5, 900 in duty per annum and
that the home industry has grown to
a point where it can supply half OF
the demand. but that a cut OF two
thirds in the duty will practically
drive the home growers out of busi-
ness. The beet sugar men are in de-
spair, and the two Louisiana Senators
are ready to bolt the programme il
cane sugar is put on the free list.
| The senators from wool States are
Respondent but probably will vote for
the bill in the end. In short, Pres
iden, Wilson seems to hold all the
cards and bill embodying his views
is sure to pass.
JAPAN SULKs?
Reverting to the determination OF
California to pass an alien land bill
great pressure was brought to bear on
the & ,lifornia legislature to prevent it
from passing this measure, it being
argued for one thing that Japn would
retaliate by not making an exhibit al
San Francisco Exposition. Lars An
derson, ambassador to Japan, ha.
been quoted as saying that apar
would surely exhibit at San Diego in

Mauy applications are coming in for

THE MAGIC OF SUCCESS.
From a state of dreamy, quiet con-
tent which characterized it for years,
San Diego has awakened to the magic
possibilities Of Opportunity. When
it put its hands down in its pockets
and drew forth 81, 900, 900 in puolic
subsc riptions to guarantee the success
OF the Panama-California Exposition
it was scarcely awake to he meaning

Mems Acre Yield Contest For

The mems acre yield contest
organized in January 1912 proved to
be one of the most interesting classes
OF the 1912 State corn show held in
Columbia during farmers week,
January 1917, 1918. Practically
every one who visited the show ask
ed 10 see the reports and final
scores on the Acre Yield. Mr.. Nor.
ris McCauley of Doniphan, Mo-. won
the Sweepstakes prize in the Mems
Acre Yield Class. with Mr.. l.. F. Cot
tey OF Edna second. The judges
based the awards on practically OF
methods, score of the ten ear sample,
ne, profit from the acre, and the yield
OF air dry corn.
The Mems Acre Yield Contest will
eventually become one OF the largcs,
classes in the State Corn Show, for
after pure seed corn is disseminated d
throughout every part of the State
the work will naturally tend towards
increasing the yield per acre by more
intensive methods of culture. Very
few farmers today realise just how
hard it is to produce 100 bushels ol
corn on a measured acre. and fewer
still know how much per bushel it COS,
to produce an average crop Of corn.
