closely follows the usual form. 1t
states merely that. whereas the pub
lie interests require" congress will
be convened in extra session by Or

changed because Democratic Leader

that the tariff bills would not be
ready until April T.
President Wilson plans to point
out specifically his wishes for the
extra session in his first message.
which is now being prepared. From
talks which the president has had
with the congressional leaders. ii is
known that this will outline the ad-
ministration ideas of how the tariff
should be revised and just what
schedules should be taken up. 1t is
also said that the message will men
tion briefly the need of currency leg
islation at an early date and indicate
the purpose of the president to send
a special message on other subjects.
The tariff plan is to be submitted
to a caucus and then directly to the
house by the ways and means COM
mittee. This committee today took
up the administrative features of the
bill.
+ There will be no attempt made to
name all the committees of the new
congress until l-towurd the close OF
the extra session The committees
on ways and means. rules, mileage

be found in the late start the truck

Irish potatoes are 10 cents a peck
higher and sweet potatoes are 10 or
10 cents cheaper by way Of compen-
sation. The short crop OF Irish pota
toes in Maine caused the difference.
Eggs at Same Price.
Eggs of the "fresh'-opposed to

So Is sugar and syrup. while corn
meal IL 10 cents a peck higher. Lard
Is cheaper.
And fresh meat?
The less said about It, the better
except in undertones. It's away way
up. But that brings out an inter
esting little economic fact: Fish is
just the same
Il understand that fish sales in At

That's n good way to hit the high
cost OF living. too, he added. Fifteen
cents expended judiciously in fish will
provide the meat for q family of four
or five The same amount wouldn'
get enough fresh meat TO give the
family cat indigestion And Atlanta
