spent nearly $4,0OO,000 developing a
commerce that costs over $50 per ton
to float on these dry rivers.
"Take all the streams named, a
dozen or more, and add to them 100
other inland rivers and dry creeks con-
tanned in this bill-streams that do
not carry lake or ocean crafts-and
the whole 120 or more rivers and
streams do not float 20 per cent of
the actual waterway commerce han
died at the single Superior Duluth
Harbor. Yet we are giving about
$25,000,000 of this 1916 bill to these
deserted rivers. creeks and shallow
streams and canals.
"Mr. Speaker, the bill that passed
the House was fair sample of an
rual pork barrels, with public funds
distributed around to practically every
State for votes to put it through.
Poor, miserable. wasteful schemes are
hitched on to few commercial pro-
iects in order to get votes for the bill.
That is not the reason given, but
what member believes S499000 would
otherwise be given for the Ouichita or
S250000 for the ridiculous Trinity, or
100000 for the Brazos, or dribbIing
appropriations for a hundred other
creeks contained in this measure.

ton when | inquire. how many of you
gentlemen would vote for this $43,-
100000 bill if it were not for some
piece of pork in it,"

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
EcrSon has catarrh in some form.
Science has shownthat nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
OF the body; and local treatments in
l.hf form of snuffs and vapors do little,
"a any good.
- correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by cnriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
fromalcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

F. E. DAVIS REAPINe BIG ORANGE
CROP ON FARM WHICH WAS
STORM SWEPT

Thirty-two dozen SatsumaA oranges
on a single tree, despite the fact that
the storm of early July whipped and
dashed, jerlSed and all but uprooted it,
is the record of one of seven trees on
the farm of J. e. Davis, on the old
Augusta road, four miles from Hatties-
burg.
The storm of July ruined the other
trees on Mr. Davis place, his fig crop
having been a failure. The oranges,
however, escaped the damage, and to-
day he is gathering them in.
Sixteen dozen were obtained from
the prize tree in question, while an
equal number remains on it today.
On Saturday, he gathered IA dozen off
la single tree. On the seven bearing
pnes there, he has gathered $50 dozen
and there are still many on the
branches.
At the rate of 20 cents a dozen
which he is receiving for his fruit, Mr.
Davis crop thus far gathered is worth
$36, and the end is not yet.
