MR.. YEoMANs' REMOVAL BILL.

From the Newman Herald and Advertiser.
1t is announced that Hon. M. J. Yeomans,
of Terrell, will introduce bill in the pres
ent session of the legislature to move the
state experiment station from Griffin to Ath-
ems This has been tried before, but the
varied schemes of the University crowd to
build up Athens at the expense of other
towns of the state is mighty poor politics,
and is doing the University no good The
station is now centrally located and easily
accessible from every quarter, while Athens
is about the most out-of- the-way point in
Georgia. The Legislature should kill the
Yeomans bill so dead that it cannot be resur-
rected The University junta may learn,
when it is too late, that it cannot put up
just any sort of job on the public and
get away with it.

Some Political History.

Hughes and Fairbanks form the first fully
bewhiskered presidential ticket in many
years Garfield wore full beard, but Ar
thur his vice-president, while reveling in
luxuriant side whiskers, had a bare chin.
If he is elected Charles Evans Hughes will
be the first Baptist president. There have
been eight Episcopalians in the white house,
eight Presbyterians, four Unitarians, three
Methodists, two members of the Dutch Re-
formed church of the Disciples, and two who
were members of no church.
John Adams, who was Washington's run
ming mate and Daniel D. Tompkins, on Mon
roe's ticket, were the only vice presidents
reelected at the reelection of their presi-
dents, so that if Vice President Marshall
serves a second term he will break a rule
of many years standing. Since 1888 no
vice president has served longer than four
wears. If Fairbanks, who was elected with
Roosevelt, is elected again this time he will
be the only third vice president to serve IN
der two presidents. Clinton was vice pres
ident in the Jefferson and Madison admins
trations and Calhoun in the John Quincy
over. Fairbanks will be the first vice pres
ident who, having retired from the Office, has
been elected again after a lapse of years.
Two terms have interviewed since he pre-
sided over the senate. And. with the excep-
ton of Wheeler, Tyler and Hendricks, he is
the only vice presidential nominee ever sug-
gested at the time of his nomination as a
candidate for president. There is a bond
of affinity between the two vice presidential
candidates this year. Marshall and Fair
banks are both from Indiana. and both when
in college Joined the Phi Cana Delta fra
ternity.

TELFAIR IN LINE WITH TERRELL.

We say ditto.
1t is not only good because such is the
case in Terrell county, but because this same
thing is true in Telfair county and great
majority of other Georgia counties.
Never before have the merchants of Nc
Rae and other Telfair county towns been
able to buy meats of any description from
the farmers. 1t has mostly been the oppo-
site-the farmers bought their meats from
merchants.
Not only are the farmers making their
meat, but they are making their other foods,
such as corn, wheat, etc.

The Worry Habit.

1t has been truthfully said that worry is
like a drug. 1t grows upon you. 1t gets
to be habit 1t is dangerous. 1t is deadly.
Worry saps the vitality. 1t makes you old.
1t brings wrinkles. 1t brings grey hairs. 1t
brings i'll health.
Is there any sense or reason in worry?
1t brings nothing good to pass. Never did.
Never will.
Keep a brave front. Keep steadily on
the march, whether you have any reserve to
bring up or not. If you forget the strain
on your resources, forget your problems,
forget your anxieties for time you will
find that most of them have disappeared.
AS one philosopher puts it, 'DO the work.
Let some one else do the worrying"

Plan 10 Form WOnan's Party
Attacked by Illinois Suffrage Society

Chicago-An attack on the plan to
form a woman's party was issued
Monday by the Illinois Equal Suffrage
association, while officials Of the Con-
gressional Union, promoters OF the
idea, were opening registration head
quarters at 70 East Washington street.
At the same time a campaign was
launched by the Union with posters,
banners and various advertising de-
vices to boom the woman's party con-
vention, which will be held June S, 6
and Z at the Blackstone theater during
the time the Republican convention is
in progress at the Coliseum. Twelve
woman speakers will begin holding
brief meetings at once under the au-
spices of the Congressional Union, on
street corners, in factories or shops,
offices, college dormitories and at la
Dor union gatherings.
Confusion and duplication of
work" will be the effect of the Con-
gressional Unions activities in Chi
cago, it is declared in the statement
issued by the Illinois Equal Suffrage
association. The proposal to form a
party "on sex lines" is also assailed,
and the union is defined as "a detached
group of Eastern suffragists."

ALL CLASSES IN PATRIOTIC PAGEANT

New York-New York expressed its
attitude on the question of national
preparedness Saturday by holding the
greatest civil parade in the history of
the country. An almost countless host
of men and women, estimated at more
than $50, 900, representing all walks
of life in the nations metropolis,
marched for IL hours, 20 abreast, be-
hind bands playing patriotic airs,
through fag-bedecked streets lined
with hundreds of thousands of cheer
ing spectators.
All the professions and trades which
make up the complex life of the city
were represented.
In one division were the street
sweepers in their uniforms of white,
while in another were the dignified
justices of the Supreme court of New
York.
There also were the clergy-nearly
200, representing every denomination
in the nations greatest city. Law
yers, physicians, trained nurses, vet
Grams of the Spanish-American war,
were in line. But the most popular
division was made up Of the city's 10,-
900 National Guardsmen = infantry,
cavalry and artillery-who brought up
the rear.
"This," declared Major General
Leonard Wood, in command of the de-
partment of the East, who reviewed
the parade, sis the greatest argument
America has ever known in favor Of
preparedness against elements that are
at present unknown. 1t shows an in
terest in preparedness that amounts te
a National awakening. This is what
we need. 1t shows that the time has
come to do something in the matter Of
National preparation"
The mammoth pageant began au-
spiciously. Just as Mayor Mitchell
and party of municipal officers left
the city hall at the head Of the first
division an aeroplane appeared above
lower Broadway and lowered around
the great skyscrapers.
The paraders marched rapidly, more
than 10000 passing a given point
within an hour.
With few exceptions, the marchers
carried small American flags. Most of
them also wore buttonhole emblems.
At frequent intervals came one of the
200 bands and musicians were the only
persons in the civic divisions who wore
uniforms.

DfftNSt LOSE; CONffRFE AGREE

Washington, D. G. A standing
army of 206, 900 men, capable of being
expanded in emergency to 254, 900 and
backed up by a Federalized National
guard of 425, 900 as reserve, finally
was agreed on Monday by the house
and senate conferees ON the army bill.
The agreement will be reported to
congress at once and the measure, the
first of the administration prepared
ness bills, is expected to be before
President Wilson for his signature
soon.
Advocates of adequate National de-
fense regard this conference agree
ment as a triumph.
The minimum enlisted strength
would be attained under the conference
agreement within the next five years
and it is stipulated that at no time
shall the total be less than 100, 600.
The conference report also provides
for government nitrate manufacturing
plants to cost not to exceed $40, 000,-
900, for vocational education in the
regular army and for establishment of
military training camps for volunteer
citizens, whose transportation, cloth
ing and subsistence expenses while in
training would be paid by the Federal
government.
Other salient features Of the meas
ure provide for board to investigate
the advisability of establishing govern
ment munition plants and board to
recommend mobilization of industries.
Authority is given to the government
to seize and operate private munition
plants in time of war.

About Oregon
Oregon and California Land
Grant Title Is Not Clear

Washington, D. CAS- the Oregon
& California land grant bill stands on
the house calendar, it will not enable
the government of the United States
to pass a clear title to any settler or
purchaser, in the opinion of Repre-
sentative Hawley, and he has the sup
porting opinion of several of the good
lawyers of the public lands committee
in this opinion.
"The BILL" said Mr.. Hawley,
makes provision for the payment of
back taxes-that is, for taxes that
have accrued for the past three years,
but / believe it does not provide for
the payment of taxes which are now
becoming collectable. Moreover, the
bill fails to make provision for the
payment of interest on back taxes and
fails also to provide for the payment
Of penalties on those accrued taxes.
These omissions, in my opinion, render
it impossible for the United States to
give an absolutely clear title and / will
call attention to this shortcoming when
the bill is before the house.
"The prime reason for providing in
the bill for the payment of back taxes
was to enable the government to give
a clear title. Unless that section is
enlarged and made complete it will
fail of it's purpose and those who ac-
quire these lands from the government
will be liable for interest and for the
unpaid penalties and for the taxes that
are not paid by the government under
the Ferris BILL"

Kitchin, of the house ways and means
committee, said Monday after a con-
ference with Secretary McAdoo. The

of President Wilson.
What amount will have to be raised
cannot be determined until the navy
and army bills are completed. Mem
bers of the ways and means committee
will begin work on this problem as
quickly as possible, however. Other
than decision not to lower the pres
ent exemption limit for incomes, $4,000
for unmarried and $4,000 for married
men, none of the details of the tax
plan have been worked out.

Smudging Need Shown in
Southern Oregon Fruit District

Medford - In the opinion of local
fruit men the year 1916 will mark the
final demonstration of the necessity of
crude oil smudging in the growing of
fine fruit and apples in Southern Ore
gon.
At the beginning Of the season there
was distinct movement against
smudging,, chiefly because of the an
noyance involved and damage to trees
from overfowing pots. In fact an in
junction against smudging was OBJ
tanned by one group of orchards shortly
before the May freeze.
All this anti-smudge agitation is
ended now in the opinion of local grow.
ers, for from May 8 to May ID smudg.
ing in Rogue River valley orchards
was worth at least $500, 900.
Those orchardists who smudged, anc
fortunately large proportion of then
did, lost practically nothing from the
low temperature, while except on the
high hillsides those who did not
smudge were wiped out. While the
loss has been serious, it is certain ac-
cording to experts who examined the
orchards that the first reports were
greatly exaggerated.

100000 Acres in willamette
Valley Can Be Watered

Salem-Approximately 100, 900 acres
of land can be feasibly irriagted in the
Willamette valley at the present time,
results of an investigation just COM
pleted by the United States Reclama-
tion Service in cooperation with the
state engineers Office show. A joint
report of the inquiry into irrigation
and power deveoplment possibilities of
the willamette valley was issued this
week.
The survey extended from Candy at
the mouth of the Molalla river to the
head of the Willamette river above
Cottage Grove and included the area in
the immediate vicinity of Portland.
1t is pointed out that the water sup
ply for the proposed irrigation of the
valley lands in many cases may be OBJ
tanned from wells by pumping. The
report declares that the average econ
omic duty of water which seems to be
indicated for the valley as a whole is
eight inches delivered to the land,
varying with local conditions of soil
and crops.
Those employed in the survey inves-
tigated the water power development
possibilities on the north fork of the
Santiam river with storage at Marion
lake; the upper reaches of the Nc
Kinzie river and the middle fork OF
the Willamette river.
70n the McKinzie river there are
two existing plants and at least tive
new developments proposed, one al
Vida and the other between the outlet
of Clear lake and the mouth of Smith
river, involving the use of Clear lake
for regulation of flow.
