countians in his letter appearing in the
Times Monday evening:
MIR. and Mrs. Conrad CAN'T, South

ment of their daughter. Miss Ida r
CAN'T, to j. j. Bender, of GrantsvilN
The wedding will be an Easter event

CAN'T and is well known here, MIR.
Bender is one of the most prominent

large general merchandise business at

The Farmer and High Prices.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
We frequently hear it said the farm
ers are to blame for the high cost of
living. Some of them may be, to a
certain degree, but to a much greater
degree the middlemen are responsible
for high prices On foodstuffs and high
cost of living. For instance when the
farmer takes his produce to the store
and the merchant gives him certain
price for his produce in merchandise
you must agree the merchant makes a
profit on his goods of from % to 300
per cent. and then charges the con-
sumner of the farmers product from Is
to so per cent. profit and then the
farmer gets three swift kicks for high
cost of living. Is he guilty? No!
There is at least nine-tenths of what
the farmer sells goes in to the specula-
tors hands before the consumer gets it,
yet the critic will say the farmer is to
blame because he don't sell in large
quantities. Well the farmers business
is not wholesale business, therefore
it will pay the consumer to get in touch
with the farmer and save the middle
mans profit because the day of cheap
living looks far IN the distant, and
if there is few more tax commits
sions to tax every improvement
the farmer makes, the cost of liv-
ing will go higher. If the crib the
corn is stored in is taxed the corn must
sell higher to paw the bill. If the farm
tax is raised the product of the farm
must sell higher to pay the bill. The
last assessment looks more like roaring
lion going about seeking whom he may
devour than it looks like justice. The
farmers have spent thousands of dollars
on building up their farms and every
improvement is taxed, and then talk
about raising cheap stuff. Can you do
it under existing circumstances.

elected Speaker of House.
Washington, April 3.-Congress re-
convened today to consider the resolu-
ton declaring the existence of state
of war with Germany, as requested
by President Wilson. The resolution
was introduced in both houses last
night after the president had deliv-
cred his war message.
The resolution, which directs the
president to employ all the resources
OF the country to carry on war against
the imperial German government and
bring the conflict to a successful con-
clusion, was taken up this morning by
the foreign affairs committees of both
houses.
While the news of the summarizing
OF the steamer Aztec-the first Ameri-
can armed ship to sail into the war
zone-was being told from mouth to
mouth in the capitol, the president, APP
pearing before house and senate in
joint session, asked congress to recog-

on America.

showed big gains in the number OF
men accepted by the army and navy.
During March the gain in the army
was 6,723, and, while declining to go
into details, war department officials
said the total strength was nearing
the authorized peace maximum OF
10000. The daily returns to the navy
department showed that Monday had
set a new record, with Alb applicants
accepted.
Another indication of the govern
ment's preparations for large army
was evident in the announcement that
the old Fort Ringgold military reser-
walton in Texas had been restored
to the war department for military
purposes. Since 1911 it has been IN
der control of the interior department.
1t is assumed the transfer was made
to provide training space.
Speaker Clark was reelected by a

Former Senator Mason of Illinois
was the only Republican who voted
for Clark. The speaker was escorted
by a committee of which Representa-
tive Mann was the chairman. He was
greeted with loud applause from both
sides Of the chamber as he spoke in
part as follows:

A resolution requesting President
Wilson to renew his suggestion to the
European belligerents for a termina-
ton of the war was introduced by
Representative London Of New York

WAR RESOLUTION
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE.

Chairman Flood of the house
foreign affairs committee, the
administration spokesman there,
introduced the following war
: resolution in the house. An
identic resolution was offered
in the senate:
whereas, the recent course
of the imperial German govern
ment is in fact nothing less
than war against the govern
ment and people of the United
States;
= Resolved, by the senate and
house OF representatives of the
United States of America, in
= congress assembled That the
state OF belligerency between
the United States and the i'm
= perial German government
which has been thrust upon the
United States is hereby formal
= ly declared; and
THAT the president be, and
hereby is, authorized to take
immediate steps not only to put
the country in thorough state
of defense, but also TO exert all
of its power and employ all of
> its resources to carry a war
against the imperial German
= government and to bring the
conflict to a successful termina-
ton"

financial credits. He urged the rails
ing of 100000 men by universal mill
tary service. The president made il
clear that no action was being taken
against the Austrian government and
the other nations allied with Ger
many.
Because of the opposition to the
measure by Senator Stone, chairman
of the foreign relations committee, the
resolution was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Martin of Virginia, the
Democratic floor leader. Representa-
tive Flood, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, introduced it in the
house.
Two troops of cavalry were at the
capitol last night to guard against
any disorder while the president de-
liyered his message.
The high feeling between pacifist
propagandisJs and war advocates who
crowded the city led to extreme pre-
caution by the police throughout the
city.
Defense Preparations Completed.
Army and navy preparations were
believed By officials today to have
reached a stage answering all immedi-
ate defense needs and insuring that
the more sweeping steps congress is
expected to authorize can be carried
out promptly.
More national guardsmen were
called into the federal service for po-
lice duty, making total of more than
10000 of the state troops now as
signed to guard against internal dis
orders The war department also an
nounced that, in order not to handi-
cap government construction work, all
guardsmen who are government en-
ployees or employees of private plants
doing government work will be mus
tered out.
The guard organizations called out
are:
Virginia-First infantry, First and
Second coast artillery, Battery d,
First artillery.
West Virginia-Second infantry.
Vermont-First infantry.
nnecticut-Second and Fourth
companies, coast artillery.

1t Is not unreasonable to think
that the c. & o. will erect its mod

sOnable explanation that can be
made for the extreme purchase OF

This railroad company has under
contemplation the building of shops
amounting to $1,0OO,OOO. At Hunt

They are being leased now from
