''CROAKFRS" GIVEN
 GOOD CALL DOWN
Speaker Clark Left Chair to Admin iSter Stinging Rebuke to Enemies of the Cur
 Pency Bill.

Washington, Dec. l9.-Speaker Clark left his chair in the House
 today to challenge the patriotism of Calamity Rowling Republicans after Minority Leader Mann had made a speech picturing the coun- try in the throes of business and industrial depression as a result of Democratic tariff legislation. AS the greatest calamity howlers in America, the speaker presented Senator Root of New York, former Speaker Cannon, Chairman Hilles of the Republican National Commit tee, former Governor Hadley of Missouri and Representative Mann.
 Vigorously defending the new tariff law, Mr. Clark declared that if there had been any hold up i business it was simply because pru- dence was being exercised. He said the wish was the father of the thought with the Republican lead CTS, and suggested that it was strange that no one else had seen signs of falling prices. These men" continued Speaker Clark,
 propose to get into the newspapers every day, day after day, that the country is going to the dogs and business is going to the deuce, and people that never thought of a panic will begin to study about it. By all thinking men this will be considered a monstrous and unpar- alelled performance"
 Representative Mann had painted a gloomy picture of the country under the Democratic tariff act and threat of political control of bank ing and currency. Throughout the country today" he said, wherever men are cOngregated. there now is that quiet discussion going on which, when cold weather strikes the country, will end in a roar and howl that will even penetrate the ear of the deaf statesmen on the Democratic side of the aisle Men with wives and children, willing to work, who were at work three months ago, are now seeking the op- portunity. The president could do much today towards reviving con- tidence if he would The Democrat ic side of this house could do much, but they are pursuing the fatuous policies which they have talked about on the stump so many years. We are not justified in keeping si- lence on the situation"

of national banks. Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska, aided by the Re- publicans, made an intellectual fight to make those institutions issue public utility banks, owned by the public and controlled by the government.
 As amended by the Senate, the bill provided for the creation of eight to twelve regional banks, as the necessity may demand.
 Under the House bill the earnings of the regular national banks, after paying } per cent dividends on the stock and establishing 20 per cent surplus, would have been divided among the member banks and the government The Senate has amended the bill so that the stock holders shall receive a 6 per cent dividend, surplus fund of 10 per cent of the capital shall be estab- lished and that the remainder of the earnings shall be divided, one half going to the government as a franchise tax and the remainder founding a "depositors' insurance fund to reimburse depositors in failing member banks.
 The Senate has broadened ma terially the character of the com mercial paper which will be eligible for rediscount, and which may be used as a basis for currency. Under the House bill only paper maturing within 90 days was available, but the Senate, after a contest, broad ened the provision to include a percentage of six months paper in order to accommodate smaller banks in rural communities which handle little short time paper.

PICKLE INDUSTRY THRIVES
Season Has Been Favorable to Gu
cumbers and Big Crop Is
Harvested.

The cucumber pickle industry Is
now at its height in western Michigan.
The season has been favorable for
cucumbers and a big crop is being
harvested. There are close to fifty
sailing stations in the territory and
at the most of these the men are
working late into the evening every
night in the week but Sunday. The
cucumbers are received from the far
mers in baskets. The men at the sta
tons sort the cucumbers according
to size and quality, after which each
lot Is weighed and every grower is
given credit for exactly what he has
delivered. After weighing the green
cucumbers go into tanks that have a
capacity of better than 1000 bushels
There is enough salt brine in tho
tanks to keep them covered. When a
tank is full it is headed down so that
all the cucumbers will be covered
with the brine. BY adding salt, or
water as circumstances may require,
the brine is, maintained at fixed
standard. The cucumbers are kept in
the tanks until they are wanted for
pickles. They may be there for
year or for two years. but when they
are wanted the cucumbers which have
been tanned by the brine are moved in
barrels or in tank cars to the pickle
factories in Detroit or Pittsburgh.
where they are washed, put in vinegar
and otherwise made ready for the
table.
The cucumber pickle industry as
whole gives employment to large
number Of people. A small patch OF
ground into cucumber vines will keep
a large family of children very busy
during the summer season. In fact it
is practically necessary to use chill
/ dren as pickers to make the growing
| end of the industry profitable one
At the sailing stations from one to
! ten men are needed to receive the
/ cucumbers. sort them, and get them
/ into their proper tanks.
One hundred acres set to cucumber
plants will furnish enough cucumbers
TO warrant the establishment of a
sailing station. The larger stations
/ have acreages that range from one to
j 800 acres Generally the work os

A small squad OF police reserves

Good Ample Season.

The present season promises to be a
good one for the western Michigan
apple grower. There is fair crop on
many of the trees and the quality
is likely TO be better than what has
prevailed in the past. The chances
are also excellent for a good price.
The Canadian crop this year is short
according to official reports. Consul
Andrew J. McCounico at st. John, Que.
bee, reports that in certain sections
there will be no fruit, as orchards have
been completely devastated by the tent
caterpillar. lie estimates that the to
tai loss to the fruit growers OF his
section will amount to several hun
