Expected to Fill Shively's Term Until
Successor Is Elected and

Thomas Taggart, the well-known Indi-
ana Democratic leader. probably will rea-
lie an ambition he has entertained for
several years to be Senator from Indiana
Word has come to Washington from the
highest Democratic authority that Gov
ernor Samuel NJ. Ralston, of Indiana,
will appoint Mr.. Taggart to fill the
vacancy made by the death of Senator
Benjamin F. Shively. Mr.. Taggart will
serve under the ad interim appointment
until his successor is elected and quail
fies.
The Democrats will probably nominate
Governor Ralston as their candidate for
the unexpired term. II elected he prob
ably would not take Office until the ex-
piration of his term as governor next
January. This would mean that Mr. Tag
CART will serve until that time under the
governors appointment.
1t was said by persons in the Demo-
cratic councils here that Mr.. TaEgart
may be nominated for Senator at the
Democratic State convention which will
meet late in April, but that, having re-
ceived the complimentary vote of conf
dence, the leader will retire ana Cover
nor Ralston take the nomination.

URGENT DEFICIENCY
BILL GOES TO SENATE
Item for Compensation Of Wilson Ap-
pOintee Who Was Rejected by SEN
ate Knocked from Measure

The Appropriations Committee of the
Senate reported the urgent deficiency
bill late yesterday afternoon, the second
Of the session. The Senate committee
struck from the bill the appropriation
put in by the House to pay Ewing G.
Bland, Of Kansas City, nominated by the
President for United States marshal for
the western district of Missouri, but who
was not confirmed by the Senate.
Bland was commissioned by the Prea-
dent and served three months and was
then rejected by the Senate. The Presi-
dent has asked that he be paid, but the
Senate is unwilling to set a precedent Of
having the President commission men
before the Senate has confirmed them
and permit them to draw pay under ruch
circumstances unless they are CONFIRMED
A fight will undoubtedly be precipitated
in the Senate over the matter.
The Senate committee added a s1sa on
appropriation for the bureau of wards
and docks of the Navy Department
raising the total of the appropriat,ons
carried by the bill to $3,442,So0.

WEEDS BREED FARM INSECTS.
Fail Cleaning Is Protection to Crops
in Following Year,

Getting rid of grass. weeds, and under
growth about the farm during the fall ana
early winter is one OF the best protective
measures the farmer can use against
crop-damaging insects the following
year. Weeds, matted grass, dead vegeta-
ton, and brambles along fences. road
sides, margins of fields, banks of little
streams or bitches, especially in
irrigated territories, are the natural
alternating and often breeding places of
many destructive insects.
This vegetation gives grasshoppers,
chinch bugs. and other insects most
favorable conditions for temperance the
following spring and summer. SINH
larly, voluntary growths of wheat harbor
the Hessian fly; while stray alfalfa
plants in the fields and around them
may be the source of the incursion or
grasshoppers.
The Hessian fly in the absence of
volunteer wheat at times lays its eggs
on the young crab grass which may
spring UP in the fall after a tract has
been burned over. At present, in some
parts Of the country, the late-sown wheat
Is being infested by Hessian files that
have developed In and spread from
volunteer wheat Late sowing cannot
be expected to protect winter wheat
from attack in spring IL volunteer
wheat has been permitted to grow up

contact with commerce. Art really
reaches its heights when it can ele-
vste itself above conflicting condi-
tons, when it meets obstacles and
overcomes them
II we have no ideals, we have
nothing really worth while to live for,
but if we place them too high we
become discouraged and our foot
steps fslter in climbing and even the
little hills, green grown in spring,
become formidable precipices. Then,
too, as we progress and rise above
the standards we have set for our
selves, our ideals develop and grow,
and, like the grapes of Tantalus. are
always just beyond Our reach. That
applies also to our earning capacity,
and there are no bars and no banks
great enough to hold the colossal
fortunes our mental genius creates
for US.
But he who prescribes a boundary
tor himself and reaching it, is salts
ned to exist within its area has no
future. So many of the girls in our
held OF art, when they have reached
goal where the public is laudatory
and their salary is comfortable,
choose life's rocking chair and settle
down to rest, feeling they have de-
served it after arduous years of work.
But that is not the time to rock ones
ambitions to sleep. It is the time TO
stir oneself to seek broader fields
and build, like the coral, who gives
its life that the clusters may be-
come reefs, the reefs atolls, the atolls
islands.
What a beautiful and tender lesson
we should all learn from the divine
Sarah Bernhsdtl She is like the
mighty oak which adds each year TO
ITS majesty, new branches of creative
Iite. For those who could never hear
her golden voice, she has come to us
in the films, and there were tears in
our hearts when we went to see her
this last time, not tears Of unwelcome
pity, but of sincere gratitude. Not
only. her supreme art of acting
touched us, but the lesson taught us
BY her fortitude. "
And so tell the gins who write
to me Of their life's misadventures
all OF US can conquer the opposing
armies of sdVersity-that is, if we be,
come the captains of our souls.
