American Farmers in Lead.

1t is said that American farmers use
more paint on their buildings than any
other farmers of the world. The peo-
pie of this country paint every two
years on an average, but in France,
Holland and other European countries
the painting is done on an average of
every five years. Americans use more
bright colors than any other nation.

ADVICE OF GREAT VALUE TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

If a man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide for all
those dependent upon him, and If he
has not that vision of conditions to
come. and that care for the days that
have not vet dawned, which we sum
up in the whole idea Of tbrifs and a V
ing, then he has not opened his eyes
to any adequate conception of human
life. We are Al. this world to provide
not for ourselves, but for others, and
that is the basis of economy.

Jack Mitchell. The two boys are
about years old, and both in the
first grade at school. The ball en-
tered the eye. and has not been locat-

since the accident, and is said to be
in critical condition. He was TAX

pital. Another little boy was with
them at the time. 1t is said that the
cartridge had been snapped several
times, and that the boys were trying
to make it explode. The entire COM
munity is saddened and the deepest
sympathy is felt for both of the
mothers of the little boys.

The negro walked into a store
and offered to bet that he could eat

that if he ate all twelve the store
keeper would pay for them. but that
if he couldn't finish the dozen, he
would pay for what he did eat.

Croatan Indian Charged With Killing
His Brother.

Marion, March 2S.-Crickett CAL
der. Croatan, living about six miles
north of Marion, is charged with
having killed his brother, Willis CAL
der, in a drunken brawl last night.
1t is said a spade handle was the
weapon used. From reports, it seems
that the two men were travelling
along the country road near MoOdys
Mill, and after a few words Cricket
struck Willis with the spade handle,
crushing the skull of the latter, who
lived until morning. Cricket CAL
der is said to have attempted to
escape. going to the town of Latta
with the seeming intention of there
taking a train on the Atlantic Coast
Line. He was quickly arrested by
the authorities of that city on request
of the sheriff of Marion county, who
had wired instructions early in the
day.

BROADSIDE FIRED By CLARK.
Opl,OSes Rule to Limit Debate on
Tolls Question.

Washington, March 26.-The
greatest legislative battle yet under
taken by President Wilson S admins
tration was begun to-day with the
presentation of a special rule in the
house to limit debate and prohibit
amendment for the administration S
proposal to repeal the provision OF
the Panama Canal Act allowing free
passage to American ships.
For two hours the rule alternate
~ was defended and attacked in heat
ed debate in the house. When ad-
journment came, with an hour OF
debate on the rule left for to-mor-
row, Speaker Champ Clark. who be-
fore had not announced his position
on the repeal policy, issued a state
ment vigorously opposing the rule.
"Surely there is nothing sacred
about this repeal bill, and there is no
reason for this mad rush. said the
Speakers statement. Il will not be
a party to ramming such rule down
the throats of members.
Impressed with the Importance of
measure which President Wilson has
characterized as necessary to the
conduct of his admlnlstratlo tons
foreign policy, an extraordinary at
tendance of members was on the floor
when the rule was presented. Thronss
of spectators filled the seats in the
galleries, occupied the stairways and
overfiowed into the corridors. The
SPECTATORS came when the house met
at II o'clock to-day and waited hour
after hour, as routine business de-
layed the tolls bill and the nervous
tension on the floor grew more and
more tense.
The Rule Presented.
The legislative way finally was
cleared and at o'clock Representa-
tive Henry. chairman of the rules
committee, presented the rule, limit
ing debate on the Sims bill to twenty
hours and precluding amendment, ex-
cept for a single motion to recon-
nit. Brief argument brought about
an agreement for three hours of de-
bate on the rule and the preliminary
skirmish of the greatest legislative
struggle of decade was on.
The house silently attentive, Rep
resentative Henry explained the rule,
and launched into a defence OF the
repeal bill. Then followed an argu-
ment, in which the rule received lit
tie attention, as compared with the
merits of the measure; and the presl-
dents foreign policy, the right of the
American government to exercise
control of the canal it has built and
the economic advisability of free tolls
for American ships were dragged
back and forth in the discussion.
No Moral Right. q
The presidents adherents who
spoke, all democrats, declared that
under the treaty the United States
had no moral right to pass its ships
free. His opponents, republicans
nd progressives, attacked the foreign
policy of the administration and de-
nounced the proposed repeal as an
"abject surrender to Great Britain"
Throughout the discussion Majori-
ty Leader Underwood, for the first
time opposing the administration,
sat quietly in his seat, listening at
tentively to the argument. Repub-
lican Leader Mann and Progressive
Leader Murdoch both made argu-
ments against the rule and the bill.

RESTS IN GOMEZ PALACGO.
After Hard Fighting Villa is in Sight
of Goal.

-Four days Of fighting, including
three desperate assaults by the re-
bells, were crowned to-day with sue
cess when Gen. Francisco Villa NOV
ed into Gomez Palacio and establish
ed his headquarters on that side of
the town looking toward Torreon,
and within three miles of that great
goal of the campaign.
The final and deciding assault was
delivered yesterday. It was preceded
by a bombardment, after which the
infantry and cavalry dashed into the
streets.
Rifles, machetes, pistols and hand
grenades were used in hundred Diff
ferent encounters in the narrow thor
oughfares. The grenades. of home
manufacture, were lighted by cigar
cites, an unofficial part of the equip
ment of every Mexican soldier.
Rebel Loss Heavy.
Gen. Villa does not know his own
loss, except that it was heavy. The
wounded suffered terribly from thirst
and many died for lack of water and
surgical attention. The dead of both
sides were mingled in streets or found
huddled under adobe hoxses or cor
rails wrecked by rebel shells.
Veterans say no more furious bat
tie ever was fought in Mexico.
Gen. Villa did not stop to mourn
his losses, but with characteristic
energy began preparations to move
on Torreon. He expects to cooperate
with four hundred men under Gen.
Herrera, who is under orders to at
tack the town from the east.
Newspaper correspondents were
permitted to enter the city with Vii
la. Everywhere rebel soldiers we're
rescuing the injured and taking them
to the railroad on improvised stretch
ers.
Even Wounded Serve.
The day was hot and redolent Of
stale blood Those with flesh wounds
disdained to desert, and soldiers,
limping from a wound in the leg or
with one arm supported in blood
stained bandage, we're among the
stretcher bearers.
Villas first assault in force took
place four days ago. There was COM
paratively small number of Fed
erals in the city, and premature re-
ports of victory were sent out. Soon.
however, the Federals received rein
forcements and Gen. Villa withdrew
after hard fighting.
The next day, Wednesday, Gen.
Angeles, artillery commander, shelled
the city all day and part of the night.
Villa had learned that the Federal
commander, Gen. Valesco, was con-
centrated in force in the town and
himself was in the trenches inspir-
ing his men, and the rebel leader
under cover OF the bombardment con-
centrated every available man for a
fresh assault.
This was delivered Wednesday
night. but it was not decisive, al
though the rebels held the stone
roundhouse and a few other natural
defences in the outskirts of the city.

Flowers Along the Curb.

Portland, Ore, which lays claim to the
title "City of Roses does not mean to
forfeit that distinction, and its park
board has arranged for distribution
among the citizens free of cost to them
of 100 900 slips from rose bushes for
spring planting in front of houses and
in the parking between curb and side
walk in the residence sections. The I'M
derstanding is that an average of twelve
slips is to be planted in front of each
ffty-foot lot thus providing 1,1O0 blocks
of roses. The cool and moist climate of
the Pacific coast aids in rose culture, but
a glance at the roses in many private
gardens in Washington shows that this
flower f1ourishes here. Washington has
perhaps never officially aided private
flower planting, but it has long encour-
aged the planting of trees. In 1920 q
municipal ordinance was adopted that
any person intending to plant trees in
any part of the street or avenue oppo-
site his or her grounds, may, for the
purpose of protecting the same from in
jury, inclose such part of said street or
avenue as may be necessary for that
purpose, not exceeding six feet without
the curb line; provided, said trees shall
be planted within six months after said
fence is erected, not exceeding twenty
feet apart, and providing that the
mayors permit in writing be obtained
before said fence is erected"

and encouraging the citizens to be clean
ers. Cleanup and civic beauty cam
! paigns are linked together. On this sub
| ject the Cincinnati Times Star says:
| THE city is to be cleaned up, but coinci-
| dent with cleaning up there should be
fixing up. Now is a good time for the
construction of window and porch boxes,
which are effective aids in giving color
and tone to dwellings and front yards.
The present is also an opportune moment
to locate flower beds and to arrange for
their planting later on
In the matter of the proposed cleanup
campaign in ST. Louis, the Times of that
city says:
"If half that the scientific folk have
real thorough policing of the city-usinE
the word policing in the sense in which
it is used around military reservations
is more momentous affair than a pag-
cant. or an election, or a whole series OF
national holidays. The most dreaded dis
eases which afflict mankind are Infectious
or contagious, and the worst of them
spring from uncleanliness.
1t is pointed out by many newspapers
and other promoters of sanitation that
the safety of the most sanitary sections
of city and of the scrupulously careful
citizens depends in large measure upon
those systems by which the meaner sec
tons are kept clean, and that the whole
CITY must feel the Importance of clean
Illness.

Separation of Plaza Awards.

The joint resolution introduced in the
Senate yesterday may relieve the en-
barrassment of the Union station plaza
property owners whose awards made more
than year ago, have not been paid. The
awards to private property owners, the
justice OF which is not in question, may
not be paid until distant day. being
entangled with awards which are in dis
pute. unless Senator Sherman's resolu-
ton, now before the Senate District COM
Inittee, or some action of like intent,
shall smooth away the perplexities of this
case. The findings of the jury making
the awards have been approved all along
the line until reaching the President, and
there the matter was blocked and upset
on a showing which impressed the Presi-
dent that at least the award to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
was excessive Seeking way TO separate
the awards not in controversy from any
in dispute the President was evidently
advised by the Department of Justice that
no such way could be found. The situa-
ton is a serious one for many of the
persons whose property has been con-
demned. for which no payment has been
made and for which. in consequence of
the muddle which might require the ques-
ton of awards to be gone over from the
beginning, payment might Indefinitely be
delayed. Statements of persons affected
by this tie-up or deadlock published in
The Star show the hardship already in
ficted on persons about whose awards
there is no difference of opinion.
The Sherman resolution provides that
the awards and payments to be made
thereon shall be severable, so that the
Department of Justice and the President
may order such awards as are not In
question to be paid out of any appro-
priation made therefor. reserving the re-
Inainder for further consideration. The
carrying into effect of this resolution
would solve the difficulty and save the
property owners from further vexation.

The General Deception.

Oh, many a man has sneered at song
AS but a slight and trivial thing,
VINO when with a convivial throng
Has desperately tried to sing.
And many a man you've heard declare
That politics brought tickle fame.
Yet there was none among them there
Who did not long to try the game.
And many a man in soothing pride
Has rallied at poetry" as gum.
But is there one who hasn't tried
At some time 90 compose the stuff?
And many man who jeered at wealth
And vowed no wise one felt its lack
Lost sleep and jeopardized his health
Endeavoring to pile UP a stack.
Contentment,' SO serenely praised
With a philosophy immense,
May prove when once the mask is raised
A shallow and a sad pretense
