SHIPPING BILL.
Plans of DemocratsAre Coming to
 Light.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Closely guard ed plans of the senate administration democrats for saving the ship bill de- veloped today as leaving the bolting democrats out of the reckoning en- tirely and making the bill agree to enough progressive republicans to overcome the defections.
 The plan as finally agreed upon was to move as an amendment to the mo- tion to recommit instructions to the commerce commission to return the bill with amendments providing that the government should not lease ships to private corporations for period longer than twelve months, and that no ships of belligerent nations be bought which would disturb the neu- trality of the United States.

Mosquito Pest.

This week tho mosquitoes came

for men aud stock to be out in the

field work had to be entirely sus-
pended.
Stock of all kinds in the woods
aud pastures were rendered wild
by the pest and they had to be

Learning The Old Lesson.

All philosophers agree on the
fact that history repeats itself.
Perhaps it was because of that
knowledge that Shakespeare said
that there was nothing now under
the sun.
However, it is very true that the
land owners of South Louisiana,
Who were formerly considered the
most fortunate tillsrs OF the soil,
are being advised to 20 back to tho
old methods which were practicsd
by their grandfathers.
Instead of sugar planters. they
are asked to become farmers. In
stead of sugar manufacturers they
are advised to get cluse to the soil
aud become farmers aud agricul-
turists.
They are told that the way to
solve the present free sugar" hard
times and staRnstion period, 10 to
plant and grow what they need
for themselves aud to rotate their
crops and return by animal fsrtili-
cation ell that they take out of the
soil.
Grow their every need, and in.
stead of cultivatinR thousands of
acres with slip.shod labor, cult
vate . smaller acreage and work it
scientifically.
That 10 the limo of talk we are
given today.
1t is the now methods being
supplanted by those which were
successfully used by our grand
fathers.

'OAKLANl BECAME DRY

A Large Crowd In Town On That

Oakland is dry!

There is not wet spot in Garrett
county so far as the law allows it to be
wet, nor will there be for at least four
years.
Oakland was the last wet spot in the
county to become dry and today it is
dusty, as on Friday night of last week
the saloon men of the town closed their
bars after having disposed of their en-
tire stocks of liquors, selling all they
had down to the last bottle.
On Friday, in celebration of the event,
or probably for the purpose of laying in
little supply for home consumption, "
the town was crowded by hundreds
from every section of the county and
from nearby points IN West Virginia
and it is estimated that thousands of
dollars went into the tills of liquor deal
ers. With it all, however, there was no
disturbance.

OCEAN TO OCEAN HIGHWAY
Millions Have Been and Are Being
Spent Upon II.

Under the caption, History Marks
Old Road" last Sundays New York
Times contained the following regard
ing the old National road:
When the Government one hundred
years ago began the construction of
the Cumberland or Old National Road
from tidewater to Mississippi River
the vehicle for which it was design ed
was the prairie schooner. and for half a
century an unending procession of these
ships of the wilderness passed over its
dusty turnpike, carving pioneer famil-
les to the ever receding border land.
From St. Louis. the terminus of the
National Road, the prairie schooners
passed over Boone's Lick Road to Old
Franklin, Mo-, from which point they
followed the Santa Fe Trail. The first
trading trip on the trail was made by
William Bicknell and party of thirty
men in 1922 At Santa Fe the older
civilization of the Spaniard was en-
countered and the history of the Grand
Canyon Route from Santa Fee to the
coast dates back to 1541.
ct is for the consolidation of these
ancient roads into single ocean to
ocean highway that the National Old
Trails Road Association has been form
ed. The movement dates from the
Good Roads convention of Octo. 5. 1910,
but the first National Old Trails Road
convention was held April II. 1912.
Much has been accomplished since
that date More than $2,00O,0 900 was
expended in improving this highway in
1914 and $4,000, 900 more have been ap-
propriated for 1t in 1915. 1t is anticipat-
ed that fully $4,000 automobiles will
pass over it on the way to the Panama
Pacific Exposition this year, and a
special transconinental tour to the eX-
position will be made in June under the
auspices of the National Highways As
ISOLATION. the National Old Trails Road
Association, and the Automobile Club
of Southern California.
The grandchildren of many of the
hardy pioneers that passed over the
National Old Trails Road, when it was
a roughly broken trail through an un-
inhabited wilderness, now live in pop
ulous cities that have sprung up along
the route and drive their six cylinder
touring cars or luxurious electrics over
a portion of the road every day in the
year.
