a fight on some Of the senate amend

Conference reports will be pouring IN,
and they are all very important.
"Added this and the ordinary run OF
business we have the Mexican situa-
ton on hand, and no man can tell
what will come out of that at any
time"
Reciting items of indispensable legl
lslation yet pending, Speaker Clark
concluded:

vice that | would give every democrat
lie member who would ask me-"
Along with other leaders OF the
house who have been concerned with
river and harbor legislation, Mr.. Gar
crit has been active in promoting more
effective legislation for the Mississippi
river, particularly with reference to
flood control, the most vexing OF all
the problems with which the people
and the government have had to con-
tend. 1t was realized that something
distinctive had to be done in the direc-
ton of flood control apart from the
handling of the navigation of the great
river. Hence the creation of the COM
mittee on flood control, which consists
of fifteen members. The chairman is
Mr. B. G. Humphreys of Mississippi
who has been a member of the riv-
ers and harbors committee, but had
served on the committee on levees and
improvements of the Mississippi river
which was abolished in the sixty-sec-
ond congress. Mr. Garrett ranks next
to Mr.. Humphreys on this important
new committee.
Possibly the most interesting anc
highly capable work of Mr.. Garrett:
services in congress, especially q:
viewed by those who have been mos
intimately associated with him in those
lines of duty, has been as member
of several extremely important specia
investigation committees. The frs'
of these was to investigate the activi
ties of persons interested in the coun
try's foreign shipping trade. Numer
GUS witnesses were examined and muci
information elected, illuminating tbs
defects and needs Of the American
merchant marine and the humiliatinl
superiority Of foreign carriage ant
freightage Of American passengers
merchants and merchandise. Mr.. Gar
rett was signally useful in bringing
out salient facts, upon which a meas
ure restoring the American merchan
marine is very soon to be enacted.
| Another investigation in which Mr.
Garrett was leading performer wa
that of the sixty second congress
which made an exhaustive inquiry in
to the sugar industry in all its phase
in this country and everywhere els
in the world. The report Of the inves
n tigation is regarded by experts in tn
trade and in sugar planting as tn
most complete compendium ever form
ed Of any Of the worlds great actiyi
ties alleged against certain eorrers
tons, special interests and eombina
tions. That was commonly known q

1t is understood one or two other
persons also worked out the proper
sentence, but visited the bank TOD
late, Mrs. Lewis having already OBJ
tanned the check.
Two other sentences were formed
by other persons from the same 60
letters, neither being correct, but
each being partly so. These other
sentences were as Follows,

SAVE WASTE PAPER.
Government Issues Warming Concern
ing Shortage of Stock.

Secretary of Commerce. VIM G. Red
field has issued bulletin urging the
public to save waste paper and rags
because of the extreme shortage of
paper material.
Something like $4,000 tons of diff
ferent kinds Of paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United States" reads the bulletin,
"and a large portion Of this, aftersit
has served its purpose, could be used
over again in some class of paper.
"a large part Of it, however, is
either burned or otherwise wasted
This, Of course, has to be replaced by
new materials. In the early history
of the paper industry publicity was
given to the Importance of saving
rags. 1t is of scarcely less import
ance now. The department of COM
merce is glad to bring this matter to
the attention Of the public i'm the
hope that practical results may flow
from It,
"a little attention to the saving of
rags and old papers will mean genu-
inc relief to our paper industry and
a diminishing drain upon our sources
OF supply for new materials"
