It made no difference to the members
Of the House of Representatives about
the lateness Of the hour of meeting
They didn't hurry a bit for supper ad-
Iournment, but remained in session
from 400 until $50. Routine business
was the order for almost all the time,
but the horseshoers bill made its re-
appearance and was the subject of
considerable serious talk and some
amusement. 1t will again be heard
from in this body.
Rep. Barnes of Houlton moved to
reconsider the vote whereby the ad-
verse report of the committee on legal
affairs upon the bill was accepted.
Rep. Dutton of Bingham was on his
feet protesting that If the much-dis-
cussed bill was a joke it should not be
taken seriously and if it was to be
taken seriously there was all the more
reason why the report should not be
considered. He explained in detail the
hardship which the bill would work
upon those engaged in logging opera
tons and said that it would make a
criminal Of the man who shod his own
horses.
Rep. Packard of Rockland declared
that the bill was not a joke but good
bill and that it would do a great deal
of good if it passed.
Rep Jenkins Of Kingfield said that
there We're many towns where there
were no blacksmiths and that the bill
would work a great hardship there.
Rep. Dutton called for the yea and
nay vote and as he did so Rep. Barnes
Of Houlton made motion to adjourn
which of coarse took precedence.

journed at go P NJ

HONS TO ADVISE

Commercial Agent OF Department OF
Commerce Confers With Local
Manufacturers
ONLY on FARM IMPLEMENTS
Has Made Exhaustive Study Of Condi-
tious in south Africa New Zealand
and Australia

The foreign trade outlook with re-
CARDS to farm implements and machln-
cry, especially in south Africa, is eX-
tremely promising, according to Juan
HONS, commercial agent Tor the Unit
ed States department OF commerce and
the bureau OF foreign and domestic
commerce, VINO is in Rock Island to-
day
Mr. HONS has. under the direction or
the government, completed an ex-
haustlve investigation of agricultural
conditions in South Africa. New Zea-
land and Australia He is now making
81 tour OF the country visiting only the
important implement manufacturing
eenters. OF winch the tri-cities is one,
giving the manufacturers facts and
hgures gained in his travels.
Mr. HONS stated that Of course all
of the larger implement manufactur-
ers have had for years special repre-
senratIFes in foreign countries, who
have studied conditions for them
selves But the government took up
this work in all branches for the eX-
press purpose of furnishing the small
er manufacturers not able to send men
abroad with the facts Of conditions
there The investigation made by Mr.
HONS is also perhaps more complete
and exhaustive.
Mr.. HONS stated that local manufac-
turera especially those In Moline, we're
pioneers in the development of i'm
plcmeut trade ia the countries which
he visited He arrived in Rock Island
yesterday. Tonight he leaves for
Peoria.
Needs Are Studied.
In South Africa where a great many
American made plows are sold, there
are different climatic soil and labor
conditions 10 contend with, and inn
portant changes have to be made IN
Implements for this trade New Zea-
land and Australia are largely wheat
growing countries with limited rain
fall both as to volume and season Of
the wear Mr HONS stated that the
United States was leading in the sale
Of farm implements in those three
countries, chiefly because the farmers
have the same thing to contend with as
the early settlers had in developing the
west here and that similar implements
were used.
