His Long Service in Committee.

Early in his career in Congress Rep
resentative Payne became a member
of the all-powerfu1 ways and means
committee and in due time became its
chairman under republican rule. That
was in 1909. He had been on the COM
mittee and had been a conferee with
the Senate sixteen years earlier. when
the Dingley tariff was being framed.
Representative Payne was born in
1S43 in Hamilton, Madison county, N.
Y, and graduated with the degree of
A. B. from the University of Rochester
in 1864; came to Congress in 1888 and
was appointed member of the British
joint high commission to negotiate the
treaty with Canada in 1899. He was
powerful in New York state politics
and was twice chairman of the state
convention of his party.

Leader in His Party.

Leader in His Party.
Serene Payne was a leader of the re-
publican party of the old school. and
the tariff law to which his name was
attached was bombarded with criticism
and lampdoned from every quarter by
democrats. progressivss and progress
sive republicans in the campaign of
1912, although thousands of the critics
returned to the ranks of the regulars
in the last election. One of the char
acteristics of the man was his i'm
measurable ability to smile and keep
cool throughout the worst political
storms. In general debate he was a
master, and in the rough and tumble
political arguments of the House his
saliies and .retorts to the opposition
always aroused applause and laughter.
Representative Payne became the
father of the House when Gen. Bing-
ham died several years ago. Repre-
sentative Cannon had served more
terms than had Mr.. Payne, but not con-
tinuouSly.

Tenor of Resolutions Adopted
by Rivers and Harbors
Congress.
THREE-DAY SESSION
ENDS THIS AFTERNOON
Goes on Record Again as Advocates
of Policy and Not ANY Project.
Officers Elected.

The eleventh annual convention of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which has been in session the past three
days at the New Willard Hotel, adj
journed this afternoon, after adopting
resolutions declaring that real progress
in the building up of comprehensive
plan of water transportation, as supple
mentary of transportation by rail, to
meet the ever-increasing demands OF
commerce, requires that such appropria-
tons should be for not less than fifty
million dollars per annum."
The resolutions again place the Or
ganiZation on record as being adVo-
Gates of a policy only and not for any
particular project They urge upon
Congress the employment of the con-
tinuing contract system, wherever
practical, as the best means of secur-
ing economy, efficiency and speed in
the construction of government work,
and they indorse the provisions of the
Panama canal act for the separate
ownership of rail and steamship
lines.
o. S. Engineer Corps Commended.
They expressed also unqualified con-
fidence in the ability and integrity of
the United States Corps of Engineers,
and believe it to be the safest reliance
for recommendations as to the econ
omy and feasibility of river and har-
Dor improvements.
Senator Joseph e. Ransde1l of Louis
lana was reelected president and S. A.
Thompson was reelected secretary
treasurer of the organization. The vice
president for the District of Columbia
for the ensuing year is to be William
T. Galliher.
NJ. !. Weller of Washington is named
as one of the directors for the south
Atlantic seaboard division of the or
ganiZation.
One of the most interesting addresses
delivered at the convention was by
John A. Bensel, New York state en-
gineer, in charge of the construction
of New York's barge canal, being con-
structed by the state at an eXpend-
iture of more than $130,O00,O00.
New York's Barge Canal.
This canal" Mr.. Bensel said, in part,
when opened, in 1916, will be a great
outlet to the sea for western grain,
ore, lumber and package freight ship
ments which come through the great
lakes. This new waterway will be

YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes of people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care Tor any
thing to eat. The dinner bell mas no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast They may nibble little
of this and a little Of that, but they
do not care for it.
Lunch has lost all of its charms,
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong, of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out OF sorts.
That is all.
IT is in this kind Of condition
that Peruna acts very beneficialiy.
After using Peruna, interest In food
is revived. Beginning with a tea
spoonful of Peruna before each meal
will generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands of people can testify to
this. Liberated from a slavery that is
almost unbearable. The slavery OF
having no interest in life. All used
ND. Yet one does not know exactly
why. Take Peruna before each meal.
Skies will get blue again. Fields VIII
look green once more and life Will
be pleasant. You will feel that you
are good for something and the world
. is a good place to live In. Peruna
will do it Not as an artificial slim
ulant. Simply tonic that stimulates
appetite in a natural way. -

An Indiana paper is authority for the
statement that one out of every eight
hogs born in that State last year died of
hog cholera. This is fearful loss and
we doubt not that other States suffer
nearly or quite as much as Indiana. 1t
has been estimated that last year $50,
900, 600 worth of hogs died from cholera
in the United States. If farmers will
earnestly cooperate with the govern
nent in the use of cholera serum, and
in quarantining herds when the disease
appears, this fearful drain can be large

A ton of ensilage is worth more as feed
than a ton of any kind of hay. A silo

will hold 40 tons of silage. 1t takes six
acres, about, of average corn TO fill a
silo of this size. The labor and use of
the machine TO fill the silo represents an
expenditure of about $35. Ensilage is
the most profitable feed the farmer can
use during the winter. 1t is especially
fine for dairy cows. Isn't it surprising
that the farmers and dairy men do not
construct more SiloS?

ONLY 100000 STILL ON BOOKS
Heaviest Days Business Was on Sept.
80, When 277 Receipts Were Issued.
Penalty Accrued After the First of
the Month.

The total amount of city taxes col
lected through September 80 for the
current year was $31,S62.23. This is
about $4,000 in excess of the amount
taken in last year and far above that
collected in the years previous.
OF the $31,S62.29, only $S67.26 was
collected in the month of August, in
which the tax books were eopened,
while the remainder, $3O,994.97 was
taken in during the month of Septem-
Der. The greater part Of this was
collected in the last few days, as the
tax payers deferred the evil day as
long as they could.
The heaviest days business was on

morning until far into the night writ.
ing receipts and taking over cash
that was due the city. On this day
alone, they wrote 266 receipts, almost
one-third the total 671 receipts that
have been issued since August l..
There was a veritable stampede on
the closing day to avoid the penalty
that would accrue after October l.
One rather peculiar fact is that ex-
actly the same number of receipts
were issued in August and Septem-
Der, 1914, as in the same months of
1918. In each year there were GIL.
This year rs were issued in August,
while 500 were written in Septem-
BEL.
AS the total of the taxes due the
city is about $4,000, and almost 1872
900 of this amount has been paid, the
penalty will accrue on only about
$4,000. This is the smallest amount
in many years, and shows that there
is still plenty of money in the city in
spite of the war and the hard times
that have ensued as result of it.
The comparative collections for the
month of September for the past four
years are as follows:
