Economy was displayed to the visit
state and foreign commerce the other
day, with an explanation by Chairman
Adamson of Georgia that economy
must begin at home.
The big committee table had to be
removed, because it was SO large that
hearings In the room were frequently
crowded beyond endurance. AS the in
terstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee attracts very large crowds ow-
ing to the widespread interests in
volved in the legislation before the
committee 1t was necessary to find
some way to relieve the congestion.
Consequently. instead of buying a
narrower committee table, spending
good government money therefor,
Representative Adamson has lined
three sides Of the room with some OF
the old desks once used upon the
floor of the house before the present
system of benches was installed. In
the middle of the room a small table
for stenographic notes, attorneys, ETC..
has been placed.
Representative Shackleford, chair
man of the good roads committee.
Wild has the distinction Of having the
largest committee table in the world
in bis office, has made requisition for
similar set of old desks. The table
for the roads committee is larger than
the area Of the foundations Of many
a house, and a comfortable tea tango
could be held upon its surface at any
time. II II about rs feet long and -
test Wide. oval shape and massive.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S CADDY
He Says Woodrow Has Improved In
Golf and May Become Regular
Player.

President Wilson's caddy has ideas
Of his own, and. like everybody else,
is bent with the idea of serving as a
government employee. He said that
he had heap rather be president
Wilson than Walter Johnson with his
pitching arm, and says he wants a
job with the government and would
like to go to West Point or Annapolis.
The boy says that when he grows up
he is going to try for a position. or
President Wilson at golf he speaks as
follows, and 1t may be considered
authority:
President Wilson has improved a
lot in golf playing since he came to
Washington. He'll be a regular player
II they let him stay in Washington an
other four years. AS 1t Is, he beats
DR.. Grayson, even IL the doctor does
spend more time on the links than the
president.
II never have heard Mr.. Wilson
swear, although he seems to get lit
tie bit peeved sometimes when a poor
stroke is made. He says things to
the golf clubs, but always under his
breath.
president Wilson gets exasperated
on the putting green just the same as
anybody else, guess. The balls
won't roll into the holes any quicker
for him than for anybody else.
"You don't have to swear to be an
expert golf player. Maybe Mr.. Wilson
would do some better II he did put In
a cuss word now and then"

"sI" MCDONALD RELEASED.
O'Neil Lets Hartford Catcher Co.,
 Strahan Making Good.

''Si" Mcdonald, who led the Hart ford club to the Eastern association pennant last year. has been released by Manager Dan O'Neil, who has as- stunned the responsibility of digging the Senators out of the second divi- sion.
 Until ONeil took the reins McDonald was manager of the Hart ford club. When he was deposed il was rumored that he would not re- main long with the team. Mcdonald is one of the cleanest and squarest ball players that ever wore a uniform in organized baseball. He is a gentle man on or off the field and is cred 1t to the sport. Since he broke his leg he has lost some of his speed and he Is overweight. This, coupled with the fact that he has business interests in Plainville, was the cause for his re- lease, it is said.
 Strahan, an Amherst college catch CT, is making good behind the bat for the Senators.

Farmers Hold Wheat
for Higher Prices

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 1o.-About
one-third of the wheat crop today IS
still in the hands of the farmers of
Nebraska, according to information
received by grain dealers, and most
of this will be held by them for ex-
pected higher prices this winter.
In some sections of the state about
half Of the present crop of wheat
was sold in July for 65 or 20 cents
bushel. Then, when the war broke
out the price went up so fast and
the prospects became so bright for
dollaranda-half wheat that no far
mer would sell bushel he possibly
could hold.
Just now the grain business in this
state is stagnant. The farmers who
didn't stack their wheat are now
buying or renting granary space and
are holding every bushel of grain
they have for what they consider he
inevitable advance. They can get
dollar bushel now easily enough,
but in few months they expect to
see it advance to a $15O or possibly
as high as 81.

New Leasing Camp
North of T0n0pah

Thomas D. Murphy, George Allen
and Bob Murta, all of Goldheld, have
inaugurated operation on their lease
known as No. E, on the Wyneken
and Shipway property, the discovery
ground in the new gold camp four
miles north of Tonopah, known as
North Tonopah. Mr.. Murphy, who
accumulated fortune through mis-
early operations in the Goldffeld
district and who has large holdings
throughout Southern Nevada, visited
the new camp soon after the discov-
cry made by Peter Wyneken and A.
H. Shipway of Tonopah became
known several weeks ago, and, fol-
lowing an inspection, he was so fa-
vorably impressed that he obtained
lease for himself and associates,
Messrs. Allen and Murta. Their
lease is 100 feet long by the width
of claim-6O0 feet-and runs for
one year.
Mr.. Murphy states that though de-
velopment work has just started in
the new camp, values have been un-
covered for a distance northwest and
southeast of about 5000 feet, and the
outlook for the camp appears prom
