Washington, Feb. o-President VII
son let 1t bs known today that from
the. nrst he regarded ~ an unwiss pol
icy the ins4etion in the democratic ma
tional platform tho plank favoring the
exemption OF American coastwise ships
from the payment Of Panama canal
tolls.
The presidsnt feels that . platform
declaration on such q subject II related
to circumstances that arise all over the
world ~ well a. In the United States.
and that only the element which the
United States can control in the situa-
ton ought to be binding. He feels that
change Of circumstances has arisen in
the international aspect Of the situation
which would necessarily change the at
htude Of the country on tho subject.
England Alone Protests.
Mr.. Wilson told callers today that
the whole International situation and
the point Of view Of foreign govern
ments was to some extent involved in
the settlement Of the controversy. He
intimated that the subject In the plat
form should deal only with domestic
policy and should not embrace rela-
tions with foreign governments.
It is said to be the presidents view
that treaty relations with other ma
tions might bo embarrassed IL it was
construed as Q violation Of the Hay
Pauncefote convention. and were to be
insisted upon by the United States.
It was made clear. however. that only
England had protested. The president
told callers that Great Britain. thru her
representatives. had not approached the
American government on the question
In any way since Viscount Boyce left
here year ago.
No Message on Tells Contemplated.
Tho president told callers he did not
intend to send message 70 congress
on the subject Of Panama tolls: that
he felt his attitude had been sufficient

liam L. Marbury. Of Baltimore. He ex-
poets congress to repeal the tolls pro-
vision during the present session and

Tree WcrshLpess.

cuI-i.fvoues.. Through the medium OF
an Interpreter who comes 20 his assist
anga The traveller is informed that 1t
is not the tree which is bel.E Wor-
SHIPPED. but the spirit which created
the u,e. This spirit is supposed to be
resting under the stone pile bullL
around The bas. OF the .rge.
Another form of three worship Is
tree marriage. In these days OF en-
lighteuMeut il is almost unbelievable
that tile marriage OF a village belle 70
a tree should be solemnized with ali
the pcmp and aIocy of the union Of
man and wife; yet such is the case. In
the very small villages where the le-
male predominates and where the line
OF caste is markedly drawn, it often
happens that there are no males OF
equal caste to the female whose time
has come to marry. Inasmuch as the
tree represents a deity who can as
sumo any rank or caste, the parents
of a marriageable daughter who has
become a burden to the family take
her to the village god. The marriage
of the girl to the tree-god being sol
emnized. she is bound to the tree anC
left either to the mercy of the proving
wild beasts or to be rescued by the
first male of a lower caste who is II

prowling wild beast wins the bride o

Il want to get the money first, and
then l will start a stock ranch IN Ore

Of limousines, gowns from Paris or
idleness. But still Mrs. Bejar has
ideas.

time" she said. and | guess money
will be about as welcome in this
house as any other thing that l know

She is widow and lives with a
widowed daughter and two grandchil-
dren at No. 2lS Beacon street, San Pc
dro The Inheritance is from David
Wilson of Oregon, H., a cousin.
Mind you, I'm not being foolish
about imagining" she continued. I've
heard about people who were told
something like this and, throwing up
their positions, buying things on cred

When the wheat. oats, and cracked
corn are given, the birds are always
ready and anxious for them. and they
scratch in the litter for the last ker-
mel before going TO the trough where
an abundance OF feed is in store. The
hens like the broken and whole grains
better than the mixture of the fine,
dry materials. Yet they help them
selves to it. a mouthful or two at
time, whenever they seem to need IT.
There is a general unanimity ~
opinion among pOultrymen that the
fowls do best when some form ~
green or succulent food is given them
during the winter months.
In fact. it is an absolute necessity,
if best results are to be obtained The
function of green food is largely in
the nature of a digestive stimulant.
Green sprouted oats have been
widely used in recent years as a
green food for poultry and it is 2
most excellent thing. The oats are
