WAS INCOMES PLAN
HE URGED CONFERENCES WITH
 BUSINESS LEADERS.
National Chairman Suggested PresL dent Explain Hls Policy Clearly So They Need Not Walt for
 Congress to Act.

William F. .McCombs, chairman of
 the national Democratic committee,
 gave out statement that suggested
 the reason why President Wilson con-
 sented to see J. P. Morgan and other f1nanciers concerning the policies of the administration in regard to big business.
 MT. McCombs advised that the presi. dent and leaders in congress decide on their policy of legislation and then explain clearly to business men what would be done, so that the leaders in the industrial and financial world
 would be able to plan just as though
 such legislation had been passed. Then
 MT. McCombs thought, it would not
 make much difference whether con- gross continued in session or ad- journed
 The congress has been In session continuously since the inauguration of President Wilson with the exception Of about one month," said Chairman McCombs. Those who are not bitter
 partisans freely will concede that the Democratic party has made a record
 of brilliant legislative achievement. There have been differences in the
 party as to legislative measures, as was quite natural. In each instance the different points of view were
 proper subjects for argument. Moth ing thus far, however, has happened to render the party less cohesive unit ofn hoe fo1 1rnn r,1oo O
 to whether an immediate adjournment
 should be had and business thereby
 relieved of the uncertainties of legisl-
 tion. None can doubt that continuous
 discussion by congress of important legislative matters without well-de- | fined program may tend to disturb.
 The Democratic majorities in the
 house and in the senate, however, have
 1t thoroughly within their power to
 cover the situation.
 Having decided that certain gen.
 eral measures are to be passed, it Is
 entirely possible to agree speedily
 upon the form of these measures. Tn that event the actual time of passage of the bills will not be of
 much consequence because the coun- try can adjust itself to what will hap pen before the close of the session.
 The Democrats at Washington are | thoroughly alive to the situation and
 am sure that nothing will happen to
 impede the orderly process of busi-
 ness. Generally speaking, I see no req
 son why there should not be Demo
 cratic victory this fall. The party has
 thoroughly demonstrated it's ability to | accomplish things constructive"

AS cool and refreshing looking as kA the white crest of a wave is a hat made of white maline and white ottoman ribbon, and trimmed with white camelias and rose foliage. Like the lingerie hats of former seasons it speaks only of midsummer time and seems no more burdensome than bit of mist swirling above the head.
 The frame is made of the finest silk covered wire and the maline is first laid smoothly over it in two thick nesses. The construction of this hat is extremely simple. The brim is GOV cred on the upper side with ruf1les of the maline, and the crown with row after row of ottoman ribbon.
 The maline is cut in strips about three inches wide and each strip is folded along one edge in a double hem one-third of an inch in width. This hem is machine stitched in white silk thread. The thickness of the hem and the machine stitching gives the edge enough body to support it
 The ruffles are laid on with very little fitness. The rows of ribbon GOV sring the crown are not fulled on . gathering thread, but sewed down to

TREES ALONG COUNTRY ROADS
Not Only UssfuI as Shade to Stock In Fields, but Add Greatly to Beauty
 of Thorouphfarea.

At . recent farmers' institute meet. ing the planting of trees along the country roads was advocated It ia where Trees beside country high. ways are not of less value and i'm portance than along the streets of a city. They are not only useful as shade to the stock in the fields and to those who travel along the roads, but they add greatly to the beauty of the thoroughfares and are a distinct asset to the farmers by increasing the attractiveness of their land. says an Illinois writer in Farmers Re. view.
 The theory of the speaker was that the trees should be planted inside of the road boundaries and not on the farm land. and that the planting should be done as a part of the road improve. ment at public expense or by local or. ganizations out of a common fund. The work would have to be done with system, of course, and provision made for the care of the trees once they were planted, but this system could easily be worked out. Objection might be raised in some quarters that shaded roads would not dry out eas. fly after rains and would, therefore, be muddy at inconvenient times, bat the proper training and trimming oi the trees would remedy this difficulty.
 Every one, even the farmer with. out a shade tree on his premises, ad. mits the attraction of shaded road on a hot summer day. Every traveller on such a day greets a bit of woods or an overhanging orchard as an oasis in 8 desert land and wishes that 1t stretches on for miles. The occasion. al land owner who has lined his side of the road with shade trees-or even with fruit trees-is regarded by the traveller as a good Samaritan and blessings go out to him. The time will come, perhaps. when trees along the country roads are desirable and essential and their absence will show lack of proper enterprise in the com. munity

WHY NOT GIVE PLAIN .sYEs"7
"Yep," "Yes, Madam" "Yes-siree" Among Its Variations In Use
 in the United States.

In the United States "yes"" is pre- eminently book word, though it is also scattered somewhat thinly through the conversations. of every day people and is employed habitually by negligible number of individuals who are both highly cultured and careful of their speech, writes Rich ard T. Hollbrook in the North Amert- can Review. Furthermore, as cor- pounds or set phrases tend to pre- serve old forms and old sounds, "yes" regularly occurs in all stock combi- nations. That is why persons whose habitual affirmative is ordinarily "yeh-a" or "eh-a," "eh-up," sye-up," never say "yeh-a, sir," "eh-a, to be sure." yep, madam" "eh-up, indeed" or "eh-a, thanks" for example.
 "Yes, sir"-a group which in va rious states, but especially in New England, is occasionally employed as an emphatic exclamation (and with out any humorous intent) in address ing girls or women-'yes, sir," has several striking variants first, "yes, sir," an accentuation as common and as illogical as that in q hadn't any reason to go,'' or in He's a married man."

Children, Color Up These Pictures.

Copyright, 1914. by the Mcclure News

 Long time ago the old men of the Indian people used to sit at the door of their houses and make the tobacco pipes which they smoked-and which the old women smoked, too-out of clay, fitting slender cane stems into them, and then burning them hard in slow, hot fire.
 And the little boys would watch the work of the old men and ask them why it was that old people always liked to smoke. Then, as he filled a pipe and puffed the blue-white smoke into the air above the boys head, the old man would tell about the time when people had no tobacco because the wicked Dagulku (the goose) stole away their only plant.
 At that time the people had smoked so long that they were very much dis turbed when the wicked goose flew away with the only tobacco plant they had. And so they called a council of the men and of the animals.
 "Who will go and get back the to- bacco from Dagulku?" asked Kanati, the Wise Man. And only the animals answered that they would try 1t. All of the men said that they did not know the way to the country where the Wicked Goose had carried the tobacco plant.
 First, the rabbit said that he would go and try to bring back the tobacco plant And he went of as fast as he could to that country; but he found Dagulkp watching, and he had to run back a-good deal faster than he went in order to save himself from the Wicked Goose.
 Then the wild duck tried it, but she could not get past Dagulku, and when she came back she told the other ami mals how the Wicked Goose had

IN THE restless realm of fashion one ! finds greater stability and uniform it' in the styles created for little girls than in any other direction. In fact, very large proportion of all frocks for young misses show variations of 8 single model. The long waist, or blouse, joined to the short skirt, as pictured here, is developed in all sorts Of fabrics and is followed closely in line in the simplest as well as the most elaborate of children's dresses.
 There is nothing finer or more ele- gant than a dress of embroidered or gandy or swiss or batiste, trimmed with one or two of the several durable laces that will stand any amount of cleaning. Cluny and the fllet laces, with the best German or French val, will last as long as the fabric of the dress. and in fact cluny and f1let laces will outwear strong fabrics. Val is somewhat less durable, and also less expensive.
 In the picture straight panel ex- tends down the front of the dress from neck to hem. The required fulness is introduced into the waist by groups of tiny hand-run tucks in the material at each side of the panel. The front. including panels and sides. to the un- derarm seams, is in one piece and an extra length at the bottom provides the ruff1e. The fitness in the back is provided by tiny tucks, as at the sides.

The Years Revenue.


 The official figures on national reve- nue leave the Republican effort to make an outcry over deficit" in very bad shape, unless they can show the statement to be erroneous. Ex- cluding the Panama expenditures, there is an excess of receipts over ex- penditures of about $30,000,000. With the Panama expenditures included. there will be shortage. as has hap pened before, of $5,000,OO0, which can be easily cared for by the accumulated surplus.
 This satisfactory showing is largely due to the fact that the new tariff has yielded s22,000,0O0 more than was ex- pected This slightly more than bal ances shortage on the income and cor poration tax below the original es. timate. MT Underwood's explanation on Saturday went far toward clearing up that shortage. On all incomes the tax was only for ten months of 1913. On the super-tax on large incomes, it began only after the passage of the bill in October. Besides, this being only three months in the year, it in- cluded neither of the dates of large dividends, January 1 and July 1. MT. Underwood considers the tax of last year to be equal to a six months tax.
 Whether that is a correct estimate or not must be settled by the future It seems justifiable| to conclude that the government revenue exceeds ex penditures, which is a fair result con. sidering the extravaganza in appro- priations common to both parties.

the dress by means of an insertion of filet lace. There is a cape collar edged with flet edging, which in turn is fitness. The short puffed aleeves are finished in the same way.
 The bottom of the skirt is finished with the filet edging. After the French fashion, dainty patterns in hand embroidery (ncarly always in flower form) are put in after the lace and material have been sewed to- gether. Sprays of flowers extend over the organdy and lace. The pattern. in graceful lines, is repeated on the front panel and about the sleeves.
 As finishing touch crochet buttons in groups of three simulate fastening of the panel to the dress at each side. There is folded sash of light blue ribbon in which an end hangs from the simplest of knots to the edge of the ruff1e at the left side.
 These dresses for young girls are worn very short. In fact, the impress sion is that they are trifie small for the wearers. But there is ample room across the shoulders. and careful mothers usually see to it that there is a chance of lengthening the skirt by letting out tucks placed in the ruffle or by adding second lace edging. The softness of the material allows more fitness than is really needed, and these little dresses last out two or three seasons wear, in this way ma king the hand work we'll worth doing

spread green poison for her to fly into and showed them how she had got this green all over her head and neck. Il was lucky for her that she did not open her mouth and get some of the green poison inside; but to this day you can see it on her head and neck.
 One after the other, the birds and the animals all tried to bring back the tobacco plant, but always Dagulku saw them and chased them back. At last, the humming bird said that she would go. And the people and the animals 'laughted and asked her how she ex pected to succeed. So she said:
 Now, watch mel" And she was gone, but nobody could see her go.
 While the humming bird was off to the country of Dagulku, one old wom- an got so weak because she had no tobacco to smoke that she was nearly dead. And just then she heard little whirr close by and the humming bird sat down close beside her and puffed some tobacco smoke in her face. And then the old woman was we'll again and everybody gathered to find out how the humming bird had got back the tobacco plant.
 ''I went swiftly" said the humming- bird, "so that not even the sharp-eyed Dagulku could see me. When I flew past the Wicked Goose, darted quick ly to the top of the tobacco plant and broke off some seeds and leaves from the top. These put in my pouch, and before Dagulku could catch me, darted away. Now. you see why it Is good that am small and can fly with great swiftness"
 And all the people and all the ami. mals-even the mole who had tried to get the tobacco plant by going under ground after it-thanked the humming- bird and said that she should have the finest flowers to feed on.

Mr.. Rosenberg said that there were
many vital wrongs entirely aside from
underpayment which had been corrected
by the strike. For instance. In the old
days the workers had to supply their
own sewing machines, their own oil and
their own needles. both for the machines
and for hand work. They had to pay
for moving them from shop to shop.
often In excess Of their earnings for
the day and they had to operate them
by foot power.
Now. said Mr.. Rosenberg. each en-
ployer has to furnish the machine; keep
a machinist TO make immediate repairs
when they break down, run all machines
by mechanical power and supply what
ever tools and materials are needed for
the work. Higher pay and better work.
