Kingswood, KY, July IL, 1915
Dear Friends:
am here with sad news again.
Rowland is dead. Was drowned in
the Ohio river at Stephensport, KY,
June 10. He was out in an evangelis-
tic campaign, being cornetist for the
meetings. This was his second meet
ing, had been away six weeks, had
been home two nights and one day
between the meetings, after the after
noon services.
Saturday he and the pastor of the
church where they were holding the
meeting went down to the river for
bath and had only been in the river
few minutes when it was supposed
he took "a cramp and went under.
When he came up Bro. Arnold got to
him and got him by the hair and
Role got him by the leg and he tried
TO get to shore but he was about to
lose his hold and let loose, aiming to
get him by the bathing suit, but Role
let loose at the same time and he
dived for him but the water was too
swift and he was almost exhausted
The water was over II feet deep. He
got to shore and gave the alarm. His
body was rescued in as minutes, but
they could do nothing for him. He
had written me that morning to have
someone meet him at the train Mon
day morning as he would be home a
few days to see his sister who was
here for visit from Knoxville.
had gotten his card in the noon mail
and when the message came about
six o'clock that evening it was an aw-
full shock to US.
My heart is broken, know | will
meet him again If | live true, know
where to find him, for he was true
Christian. He had one of the sweet
est Christian characters ever saw in
any one. | don't feel like | can write
this over again. think still have
few friends in Tucumcari and would
be glad as you see them, if you would
tell them.
Hope you are all well. Mr.. Hopper

DESTROYS GRAssHOPPERs

Farmers do not appreciate the val
ne of having an auto line close TO their
places. If they will take the trouble
and examine the radiator of an auto
they will find it at least one third full
of dead grass-hoppers.
The pests fly up in front of the ma
chimes and lodge in the front part Of
the radiator and are burned TO death.
This is a good way to get rid of them
and we would recommend that farm
ers buy machines and clear their farms
of as many as possible.

though it is expected that congress
finally will stick to the two battle
ship program as advocated by the
navy department.
That congress is gradually coming
around to more liberal appropriations
for the navy was forecast by the re-
port of the house committee on naval
affairs in presenting the naval bud
get for the next fiscal year.
The house committee Overstepped
the accommodation of the depart
mcnt of the navy in several particu-
lar and gave the conservative sccre-
tary Of the navy more than he asked
for The departments estimate called
for eight submarines and the com
mitt"e recommended sixteen sub
marines Of coast defense type and
one sea-going submarine. II also
added to the departments estimates
provision for one hospital ship and
one transport. 1t allowed the oiler
recommended by the department,
but cut the gunboat recommended by
Secretary Daniels.
The full building program for the
fiscal year 1916 is the most liberal
yet reported by a committee of con
grrss. 1t authorizes the navy depart
ment to make contracts for the con
struction of the following new ships:
Two modern dreadnoughts, which
will cost about s15,000.000 each; six
teen submarines costing about $3.50
900 each; one sea-gOing submarine,
to cost s1,45O,0OO; one oil ship to cost
e no 600. one transport to cost ST.
800, 900; one hospital ship at an esti-
mated cost of $2,500,O0O; six de-
stroyers, which will cost S925,100
each, exclusive of armor and arma'
mcnt.

called for two battleships, eight sub
marines, six destroyers, ont oil ship,
and one gunboat, so the committee

BITTER DEBATE OVER
AMERICAN Navy BILL
IN HOUSE AND SENATE
FIGHT FOR MORE ADEQUATE
NATIONAL DEFENSES LED IN
HOUSE BY REPUBLICAN, GARD
NER AND DEMOCRAT HOBSoN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-One Of
the hottest debates the house and
senate have staged in many day Is
in prospect when the naval appro-
priation bill is put on passage. There
will also be verbal fireworks when
the army budget is considered, but
the discussion of the naval bill pro
misses to exceed in bitterness the talk
on any similar bill in recent years.
The agitation for a bigger army and
navy, led by Representative 4. =.
Gardner, of Massachusetts, is largely
responsible for the determination of
members to thresh out the subject of
national defense as it has never been
threshed out before. Mr.. Gardner is
a republican but during the debate on
the naval bill he will be shoulder to
shoulder with Representative Rich
mond p. Hobson, an Alabama demo
crat. whose hobby for years has been
big navy.
The debate in the senate on the
problems of the army and the navy
will be a more decOrous affair than
the house discussion, for the lower
chamber is preparing to unlimber its
verbal shapnel in every direction.
There have been numerous clashes
between big navy and little navy
men in the house committee on naval
affairs and these differences are to
be taken to the floor and submitted
to the full membership. Mr.. HObson,
who fought in committee for four
battleships and a corresponding in
crease all along the line, will pursue
his big navy fight to the end, al
