Simmons and Underwood Plan
for Income to Augment
Customs.
ANY LEGISLATION MUST BE
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
Question of Panama Bond Issue Not
Considered Seriously Yet-Mer-
chant Marine Also Talked Over.

SOHSlQeTdIIOn OF the problem VI EdlS~
ing money to offset losses in customs
resources due to the outbreak of the
European war continued today at the
White House. The President saw Sem
ator Simmons, chairman Of the Senate
finance committee, and Representative
Underwood, chairman Of the House
ways and means committee, and dis
cussed the question.
Earlier the President told callers that
he had not arrived at an opinion as
to the best means for raising the nec-
essary additional revenue. He said
bonds to meet the expected deficiency
the administration.
Secretary McAdoo has informed the
President and Congress that he must have
800, ,O0O, 600 Of additional revenue this fls-
cal year.
The President also discussed with visit
ors some Of the proposed measures for
increasing transportation facilities to for
eign countries in view Of the complicated
European situation.
May Urge War Risks.
The question Of American insurance
against war risks is likely to be advo-
means Of gaining accessions to the Amer
ican merchant marine. The President told
visitors today that this subject is under
consideration, but nothing definitely de-
cided on. He did say, however, that what
ever fair measures can be passed that
will aid in a permanent American mer-
chant marine will have the backing of
the administration.
Messrs. Simmons and Underwood said,
after their conference with the President,
that no steps will be taken by Congress
for some weeks toward the passage Of
legislation for additional revenues, and
that in the meantime various sue-
sestions on that subject will be con-
sidered.
There are suficient funds in the Treas
ury to meet the demands Of the govern
nent for a number of months to come,
and. pending the preparation Of the actual
bills. Congress and officials Of the gov
just how far revenue from imports are
liable to be cut.
Mr.. Underwood intimated today that a
Temporary revenuemeasure of this kind
would have to be enforced longer than
now believed. inasmuch as the manufac-
lures of Germany, France and the other
countries would be seriously injured for
years to come, thereby reducing impor-
tations tothis and all other countries.
Any bill prepared. therefore. will be more
lasting In its duration than has been con-
templated. It IL pretty well agreed that
an issue Of bonds will not meet the sit
uation AZ well as legislation for more
revenues.
Advocates Silver Purchases.

help out the smelters and producers in

today between Secretary McAdoo and

ACCIDENTALLY SCALDED

Louise, the five-year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Bradshaw,
fell into tub containing hot water
last Saturday afternoon and was
severely scalded.
Mrs. Bradshaw was preparing to
give the little girl bath and after
pouring the hot water into the tub
went out to the we'll after a bucket
of cold water, taking Louise with
her. After reentering the house
Louise closed and hooked the screen
and then stepping ba c k war d
tripped against the tub and fell
into it. Mrs. Bradshaw was alone
in the house with her children, and
her neighbors were away when the
accident happened, but she sue
ceeded in attracting the attention
of man driving past and had a
doctor summoned.
The child has suffered intensely
but is improving satisfactorily at
this time. The places most severely
injured are the right arm and over
the right kidney, and unless COM
plications set in, she will recover.
That she was not more seriously
burned is due to the fact that
there was but small quantity of
water in the tub.

seems that Mrs. Agee became ex-

the owner of the garage in which
Mr.. Agee is employed, and at that
time it was not known to be small

BEET TOPS
IMPORTANT ADDITION
IN FEEDING

tioh w otoSh iocbihSs ooPcSiuiiy LII
the San Luis valley, as being fed
with field peas, they make an
almost perfectly balanced ration.
They can be fed green, immedi-
ately after the beets are topped, or
they can be sliced or left in the
field to dry. The feld-dried beet
tops are the same in feeding value
as the same weight in 6rst-class
bay. One ton of dried tops is
about equal to four tons of green
tops.
In order to arrive at the value of
the tops, whether you purchase
tops or raise them, first ascertain
the tonnage of beets raised on the
land. The usual average of tops
to roots will be about 25 per cent.
That is, 12-ton crop of beets will
bear three tons of green tops. If
the value of first class hay is $40
per ton, the value of fresh tops will
be 50 SO per ton as they lose IS per
cent of their weight in the field.
Thus, tops from l2-ton crop of
beets would bear three-fourths of a
ton of dry tops, and figuring them
on the basis of hay worth SO,
they would be worth 81 SO per
acre. However, as from rs to so
per cent of the tops will be
trampled in feeding, the following
table is fair estimate of the value
of beet tops: LESS 25 per cent
trampled)
From an ton crop Of beets 1915 acre
From IL ton crop OF beets 1852
From l6-ton crop Of beets $3.50
The best method for the beet
raiser, when he desires to sell his
tops, is to dispose of them by the
acre.
The gain on beet tops depends
great deal, as with all other feed,
on the quality, condition and age
of the stock and the length of time
fed.
An actual experience with native
steers and Mexican COWS gave an
average gain for Is days on beet
tops of 10 pounds for the steers
and lis pounds for the COWS.
When sold, the steers weighed
1880 pounds and the COWS S32
pounds.
With reasonable care there is no
danger from feeding beet tops. If
stock is fed on green tops, care
should be taken for several days
for, if fed too'much, they will scour
and that will set back fattenipg to
some extent
In fields where the beets have
been harvested long enough that
the tops have dried and wilted,
there is no danger of securing.
Beet tops make good feed for
either sheep or cattle, and this
valley is especially adapted to get
the best results from beet top feed
ing in conjunction with field peas.
Tops are an unsurpassed feed for
dairy COWS, as they can be either
sliced or left in the field in small
piles, and either way will retain
all their strength and food value.

PRS made the point of the necessity
IF furnishing first class games in
Prder to pay expenses. 1t was
hown that with the return from
|chool of a number of Monte Vista
boys, good deal of splendid ma
erial would become available for
he team, and with few good out
ide players to build around, a
plendid team should result.
Those present at the meeting
foted that the town should by all
means be represented by base
pail team for the coming season,

)cutive committee was named, con-
listing of DR.. Kegley, @. b. Akers,

DEATH OF MRS. FEWELL

Kathleen Scanlon was born Feb
ruary 80, 1880, in La Harpe,
Illinois; came to the valley about
1908; was married August 81,
1910, to Lambert Fewell in
Monte Vista; died at Pueblo
Wednesday morning, Feb. lS,
1914.
For several months Mrs. Fewell
had been ill and finally she was
taken to Pueblo for a change of
medical treatment. Here she grew
rapidly worse and her husband
was summoned to her death bed.
Physicians at Pueblo ascribed her
death to a cancerous liver. The
body was brought to Monte Vista
Thursday and funeral services will
be held Saturday at 2 p. M, at the
Christian church of which de-
ceased was member.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Fewell
taught the Rock Creek school for
two terms. She was highly re-
spected as woman of culture and
refinement and was socially well
coined in the best homes. The
sadness of her death is intensified
by leaving her two babies-a boy
two and a half years and a girl one
