CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
In AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionShip for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that of Messrs. J. C. Hill e. Sons
of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in a hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at one time the
winner of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-5O pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown in 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion of the splendid $1,000 silver
trophy contributed by the state of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid adj
yertising card, were grown 800 miles
north of the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
AZ to 4S pounds to the bushel, and
with yields of from 60 to 100 BUSH
els per acre. Wheat also does we'll.
grades high, and yields from 80 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said of any portion of Manitoba,

over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant

are grown, thus giving plenty of feed,

Drop 2-Cent Fare Suits.


The Kansas Public Utilities Com
the 2-cent fare suits in the federal
courts, brought by the railroads in
1907, will be dismissed when the
docket is called by Judge Pollock the
first week in April. The suits are ap-
plications for injunctions to prevent
the state from enforcing its 2-cent
passenger fare. When the 1907 ses-
sion of the legislature, the one with
the "airtight" senate lodge, refused
to pass the 2-cent passenger fare Kan
sas was angry with it's legislators. At
the same time the Nebraska legisla-
ture did pass a 2-cent fare and went
into the courts to make, the railroads
obey the law. Missouri did the same
thing, but the railroads beat the Mis-
souri, officials to the courts and tied
up the law several years. The fact
that Nebraska had the 2-cent fare and
Kansas did not caused the old rail
road commission to issue an order di-
recting the Kansas roads to put in
the lower rate. The railroads con-
scented and a stipulation was drawn
up by the roads and the Kansas COM
mission that as long as the Nebraska
suits were pending and as long as
Nebraska had the 2-cent fare Kansas
should have the same rate. When
the Nebraska litigation was disposed
of the Kansas rates would be back
to the same point where the agree
ment was made and further action
would be considered. After taking
yards of testimony the Nebraska rail-
roads dismissed the suits, thus max
ing the 2-cent fare a permanent pas

MAYOR WOULD GIVE :

Plans to Avoid Customary
Delays in Councils After
Voters Have Approved
100000

Mayor Blankenburg asserts in a state
ment that Councils can pass preliminary
legislation that will make possible the

tracts under the proposed s11, 800, 900 loan
for improvements one month after the
measure is passed by the voters, Novem-

ellis next week embodying his recon-

The Mayor declares that the cumber-
some delays of councilmanic procedure
may be we'll out of the way by the time
the loan is passed and an army of unem-
ployed men in Philadelphia may obtain
work on municipal contracts early in De-

The usual slow processes of Councils he
says, would DELAY the actual start of
construction on projects included in the
loan bill until next summer. The Mayor
points out that the appropriation ordi-
nances of the 100000 passed at the elec-
ton in November, 1912. were not passed
by Councils until the following May.
II is recommended by the Mayor that

the ordinance would not be made until

could pass the ordinance at the meeting
December 3
Appropriation ordinances distributing
the amounts from the loan could also be
passed In Councils In anticipation OF the
favorable action on the loan by the
voters, the Mayor asserts. That pro-
cedure, the Mayor contends, would enable
the heads of the municipal departments
to know definitely what it is proposed to
do, to prepare specifications, advertise
for bids and be in a position to award
contracts Immediately upon the passage
OF the loan ordinance on December By

LIE PASSED IN HOUSE
BY SOUTHERNER In
SUFFRAGE DEBATE
Heflin, of Alabama, Applies
Epithet to Mann, of ILL
nois, in Resenting Criticism
of Speech Last March.

WASHINGTON. Oct 10.-Represent-
ative Hefln, of Alabama, arising in his
seat at critical moment of the debate
on the Philippine bill, today denounced
Representative Mann, of Illinois, as a
liar. The word has not been heard in
the House for years. and, strange to say,
no one stirred from his seat except Rep
resentatve Garrett, of Tennessee. who
saw what was coming and attempted to
stop Hefiin
The dispute occurred over woman suf-
frage. Representative Mann offered an
amendment to the Philippine independence
bill to allow Filipino women to vote for
the Legislature.
Representative Hehin, who is one of the
strongest opponents woman suffrage has,
declared the Republican leader was play
ing politics. Representative Jones, of
Virginia, author of the Philippine bill,
added flame to the fire by echoing Rep
resentative Hehin's word. This irritated
Mr.. Mann. for he jumped to his feet and
yelled at Heflin:
1T was better for the young women
who were in the suffrage parade in WASH
ington in March. 1913, to have been at
home rather than in the parade for fear
the gentleman from Alabama would have
seen ncr ana WOulu nave Deen sure 10
insult her.
"The gentleman from Illinois is un-
worthy of a seat in this House." yelled
Representative Hehin, while Oscar I'm
derwood, who was acting as Speaker,
raped vigorously for order.
Immediately demands were made to
have Representative Mann's words
stricken from the record and the Re-
publicans opposed the motion.
Representative Mann went on. talking
and said the speech which Representa-
tive Heflin had made at the time of the
parade on the subject of woman suffrage
was an insult to womanhood, and that the
worst portions of it had been changed
by him.
II denounce the gentleman from Illinois
as a liar" said Helm.
Rather than retort in kind, Representa-
tive Mann suavely replied that Hefins
evident desire to dsavOw his speech
was the best evidence of reform he had
ever seen in him.
The words in Mann's speech which
caused the row were eXpunged after a
vote of 1856 to g.
