frrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. March 12.-As no denial
OF the engagement Of Miss Eleanor
Randolph Wilson. third daughter of the
President and Mrs. Wilson. to William
Gibbs McAdoo, Secretary of the Treas =
ury. IS made at the White House, and
one in high authority says. II would
rot advise YOU to deny IT," it is taken
for granted that the engagement is a
fact
Rumors Of the attachment between
the Secretary and the Presidents
Youngest daughter have been going
about for some time. but always before
they have been promptly denied at
the White House. Mr.. McAdoo has
been the most constant Of all the Cab
met members in calling at the White
House and mas frequently dined in
formally with the family. However,
because Of the difference in ages, IT
was thought TO be William McAdoo. jr.
who was the favored one. and that the
Secretary's interest was only Of a
fathcrly nature. On recent trip 10
the West, Mr.. McAdoo and his daugh-
ter Miss Mona McAdoo, went 10 visit
the Secretary's grandchild. Mr. Nc
Adoo IS fifty years old and Miss Eleanor
Wilson twcnty-four.
Mr.. McAdoo gave q dinner and dance
in honor Of Miss Eleanor Wilson last
week. AMI again the story Of the en-
gagement was revived. Society expects
the formal announcement tomorrow
or at least by the end of the week.
Mr.. McAdoo's first wife was Miss
Sarah II. Fleming. a Southern woman.
Miss Mona McAdoo and Miss Eleanor
Wilson are close friends and the fam
lilies are said to be on the most friendly
footing. so no objection to an early
marriage is expected.
Mr.. McAdoo's intimate acquaintance
with Pre.ident Wilson and his family
began with Mr.. Wilson's advent into
politics in New Jersey. Long before
Mr.. Wilson was spoken Of for Presi-
dent Mr. McAdoo was telling his
friends that Wilson was the man FOR
the place" Mr.. McAdoo has been
closer to Mr.. Wilson than any other
member OF the Cabinet. He worked
harder for him at the Baltimore con-
vention than any one else, and during
the greater part of Mr.. Wilson's cam
paign he acted as chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee because
Of the illness Of William +. McCombs.
Mr.. McAdoo is the father of six chill
dren, three sons and three daughters.
His eldest daughter. Mrs. Charles
Taber. lives in Prescott, Ariz.; Francis
Huger was recently graduated from
Princeton and IS now studying law In
this city; William Gibbs, Jr.. and Rob-
ert HaZelhurst are studying at Con-
cord, n. H., while Mona and Sal'ie. the
Youngest. are with their father in
Washington.
Mrs. McAdoo died about two years
ago. His marriage took place in 1880
at Chattanooga, Tenn.

Estraneed Since Reformation.


A general council of all Christcndom
has not been held since the period
known as the Reformation, in the
Sixteenth Century, because since that
time the various branches of Chris
tianity have done little except to EN-
phasize the theological and liturgical
differences by reason of which they had
become estranged.
The coming general conference or
Ecumenical Council. as such a gather
ing was called in the early centuries of
Christianity. will meet not to talk of
these differences. but TO agree on their
common beliefs. AS a solid college Of
judges authoritatively constituted for
united. decisive action, the cooperative
verdict Of the assembly win definitely
establish the unity of just that part CT
Christendom which it represents.
At Yesterdays meeting of the ad-
yisory committee at tie Church Club.

that the churches in Canada and Aus

standard is kept up for the pub
lie information.
/ am especially anxious that
the farmers who do use CONNER
cial fertilizers, inform them
selves on what is meant by the
ananlysis and grade. The analy-
sis shows the per centage of
plant food contained in the fer
tilizer, and since it is the plant
food you are buying, you should
know that the greater per cent
age of plant food the better the
fertilizer. The higher the grade
of fertilizer, the better the fer
tilizer, generally speaking. A
high grade fertilizer should
have at least 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid, 2 per cent nitrogen
and 3 per cent potash. A stan
dard grade should haze 81 , least
:, Pc ..,.ss pnosphoric acid, 1.65
~ cent nitrogen, 2 per cent
potash. Anything below g.
1852 is low grade.
These per centages represent
the standard, but if the per
centages are equal in CONNER
cial value to what the law says
each grade shall be, the grade
does not change. For example,
phosphoric acid and potash are
equal in value, and one per cent
could be taken off the per cent
ages of phosphoric acid and add
ed to the potash and it would
not change the grade, because
they are of equal commercial
value. Nitrogen is worth four
times as much as potash and
phosphoric acid and runs up
the grade of the fertilizer fast
er.
Write for the bulletin on fertil-
izers and use it in studying the
problems that confront the man
who uses commercial fertilizer.
A knowledge of these matters
is very necessary in knowing
what the fertilizer law is doing
for you, and how to buy your
fertilizer. I will also gladly
send you copy of the law upon
request.

Fertilizer Percentages Guaran-
teed.

The fertilizer law guarantees
to the farmer the percentages OF
plant food represented on the
tag and is the only proper meth
cd Of determining the value OF
the fertilizer. If you decide that
you want to use commercial fer
tilizer, be sure that you consider
well the guaranteed analysis. We
have inspectors on the road
whose duty it is to take samples
of the various shipments of fer
tilizer made into all parts of the
state. The law directs the In
spector in the performance of
his duty and is very clear on the
matter of taking samples.
This feature of the law as well
as the laws making appropria-
tons for enforcement, limits the
Department to making analyses
Of only those samples taken by
inspectors and taken in an official
manner. We have appropria-
lions to pay for the analysis of
the samples taken by the inspec-
tors if they are taken properly.
BY this means we have been
enabled to insure the consumer
that he is getting the amount of
plant food guaranteed in the
guaranteed analysis. The COM
panies are required under the
law to send notice of each ship
inent to the Department, and the
inspectors are Immediately in
formed as to where the shipment
was directed, so that we keep up
with every sale of fertilizer made
in the state.
When the Inspector sends in
his samples we have an analysis
made in the manner prescribed
by the law and compare it with
the analysis guaranteed by the
company who sold the goods. We
also keep a complete record of
all analyses so that we may
know at any time how we'll the

Baden Powell's English hand
book. Scouting for Boys" 1t
is significant that Mr.. Boyce's
interest was occasioned bee ause
of an actual service rendered him
in true Scout spirit by London
Boy Scout, who because of hn
obligation to do a good turn
daily and the rule against the
acceptance Of tips. greatly as
tonished and impressed Mr..
Boyce. After conference with
Sir Baden Powell he secured the
cooperation Of friends in Wash
ington, D. c., and proceeded to
incorporate an organization Of
the Boy Scout of America under
the laws Of the District Of
Columbia. This was effectively
accomplished on February Sth,
1910. Headquarters for the Boy
Scouts Of America were tempo
rarily established at New York
City and now have been made
permanent.
Locally the New Iberia Boy
Scouts were organized by Mr.
a. S. Lutz OH January 18th. 1919
and the first troop Of seven brave
Sc outs passed through "the end
less tunnel" on January 18th,
1913. There have been thirty
five names enrolled and of these
twenty-One remain as active
members. Few meeting nights
have been missed and the en-
thusiasm among the boys rises
high at times. Regular Scouting
tips have been made to Span
ish Lake, the Salt Mines and
Charenton. The Scouts are look
ing forward with pleasure to
greeting their Honorary Vice
President Theodore Roosevelt on
next Tuesday with the Scout sa-
lutte.
A very important and joyous
reception will be given in honor
OF the Boy Scouts on next Mon
day night through the kindness
and courtesy Of Mrs. w. S. Hen
ming and Mrs. w. A. White.
