FATE OF SHIPPING BILL
 STILL REMAINS UNCERTAIN
Definite Understanding Wli Be
 Reached Within Few Days.


 Washington, Feb. With T work ing days left of the 63d congress, the fate of the government ship purchase bill, which is obstructing progress in the senate, still remains uncertain.
 Whether it will be kept before the senate until passed or the session ends on March 4, to the exclusion of ap- propriation bills, must be determined by the president and administration leaders. Some definite understandin 2 or the point probably viii be reached within 9 few days.
 That republican senators propose to fight the bill with all their resources is admitted. Suggestions that they might eventually yield in order to take up appropriation bills and let the measure come to 9. vote are emphatically denied by the minority leaders.
 The democratic senators champion ing the bill admit that the situation is a desperate one from a legislative standpoint. They realize that if the bill is kept before the senate it will mean the failure of the great appro- priation bills. This would make an extra session of congress inevitable.

What is Farming?

Farming is not breaking clods,
farming is not moving soil. farm
ing is not plowing-these are some
of the little bits of inevitable, una
voidable experience and labor
Farming is gathering sunshine; pre-
pairing the soil and the seed that
the plant may come, and, spreading
its leaves. gather in sunshine and
strength from old Mother Earth
Then when man eats the bread and
butter, the suns strength let 60 in
side runs the man. That is gath
ering wealth out of chaos. That
is better than making money on
the stock exchange, whereby the
other fellow becomes poorer. That
is gathering and humanizing for the
service of the race the great unus-
ed powers of nature. James Rob-
ertson.
