TOM LAWSON IS
FIGHTING MAG
Calls Henry and Stone Hard Names
Because They Don't Take to
His Leak Talk.

Washington. Jan. 2-The proposed
House investigation of alleged leaks
to Wall Street spectators for the
benefit of high officials of the govern
ment was squelched tonight by Chair
man Henry, of the House Committee
on Rules. After hearing what Thorn
as w. Lawson had to say about leaks,
! Chairman Henry said:
The evidence Is not sufficient" and
refused TO call the Rules Committee
for consideration of the investigation
resolution.
Republican members of the COM
mittee began a fight to have the reso-
| luton considered, but with little
chance of success. A movement to
seek an investigation by the Senate
developed tonight. A Progressive
Senator promised that If the House
resolution died he would present and
press a resolution for a Senate probe.
Tom Lawson went home mad to-
the statesmen who derided his sen
sational leak" information. He
paid his respects to Chairman Henry
and Senator stone. of Missouri. who
on the floor of the Senate today called
him "braying ass and characterized
his Teak" statements as contempt
BILE and abominable."
IawSOns statement.
Iawson's statement said:
Henry would not have an investi-
cation unless the 'leak-makers' and
the beneficiaries confessed to him in
advance. l tried to show him that
an investigation foundationed in such
a low down start could never go far.
and that anyway it was impossible
because the men who had the brains
to clear up $50. 000. 900 and split
it with the Washington 1eakers were
not of the informer brand / showed
him confessions were noA necessary.
| could show him and / did and would
show his committee or Congress or
the President the processes by which
it would be surely developed in the
first forty eight hours of the inves-
tigation that there had been leak
who leaked and who caught the
| leak and to dollar how the leak
| loot had been split.
Chairman Henry had no trouble
seeing 1t my way-and l had no trou-
t Bile seeing it his way. Washington
does not want an investigation and II
/ won't have one, not a real one. under
any circumstances. If there is any evil
dence needed listen to the creakings
and wheezings of the mud-guns of

BATTLE ON BETWEEN
VILLA AND MURGU|A

FL Paso, Tex, Jan. "A battle. in
which 1000 men are engaged, still
is in progress between Villastas and
General Murguias troops at Los
Medanos, thirty-flve miles south of
Juarez. Villistas, although admitting
the battle is being contested still,
claim the victory.
Although the fighting has moved al
most to the very gates of Juarez,
across the Rio Grande from Ell Paso,
it is not believed here that the attack
is preliminary to an attack upon
Juarez, but rather may signalize the
battle for the possession Of Chihuahua
City.
The battle started over the POSSES
sion of a trainload Of coal. Murguia
sent his troops south last night to
confiscate the train. Villistas, hearing
of the departure of the Carranza
troops, Immediately set out. under
Generals Ochoa and Tamez. to engage
them. The engagement began at day.

Federal agents received advices to-
day that Villa has succeeded in sur
rounding 5000 Murguia troops sent
south by the commander at Chihua-

either to the south or back to Chi

GARDEN WORK FOR SUNE.

The things planted last month will soon be tough and stringy. Make additional plantings of sweet corn, tomatoes, lima beans and canteloupes. If the sweet pota- toes have not been set out, do so at once as the earlier it is done the better the potatoes will taste in the fall. Sow seeds of cabbage, toma- toes and collards for fall use. See that poles or stakes are furnished for the running variesties of beans Do not cultivate the plants in the garden while the dew is on. This often spreads disease. Be sure you have a supply of cans and save the surplus-don't let anything spoil. Put up everything you have left over each day even if it is only pint of beans or peas, It will be surprising what you will have at the end of the season. If you don't have the cans, remember okra, peppers and sweet corn can be dried for winter, and sieve beans and lima beans can be dried on the vine.

WATCH FOR CUT WORMS.

The cool weather favors cut worms and they are busy. Don't let them destroy your crops. They can be readily controlled by using poisoned bait made up as follows:
 Mix up pound of Paris green with 25 pounds of wheat bran, Take about s gallons of water, squeeze the juice of 5 oranges or lemons into it, chop up the rind and pulp into fine bits and add this. To this diluted fruit juice add 2 quarts of cheap molasses or syrup. Mix the poisoned bran and the sweetened fruit juice together un- til you have dough.
 Scatter this broadcast over in- fested fields at the rate 2 to 4 pounds per acre. It should be scattered out in flakes instead of Jumps. This is important to re- member where there is stock and where there are chickens to get it. In the garden apply broadcast around injured hills and along fence rows from which the worms emerge. The bait should be ap- piled just after sundown. It is well not to make it up until it is ready to be used.
 KILL FLIES NOW.
 Thousands of lives are sacrificed every year in Arkansas because of the filth-carrying habits of the fly. The fly carries filth on his feet and hairy body from the neighbor's backyard and deposits it on baby's lips and face in your own home or leaves it on. the food to be used by the adults and thus typhoid and Aux may be spread among our peo- pie. The only way to avoid this danger is to wage continuous war upon the fly. Be sure to screen against him very carefully and if he gets into the house use poison or fly paper.
 To make homemade fly paper. max together equal parts by meas . ure of resin and castor oil. Stir over hot water until mixed. then. while still warm, spread it on any good strong paper that is not too porous-foolscap is good.
 GIVE HOGS MINERAL MATTER.
 Hogs make more pork money when they thrive best. Vaccinate your hogs and protect them against cholera, keep them free from worms and in tip-top condition. Plenty of mineral matter will help do this. Place charcoal, ordinary lime, ashes, salt and sulphur in separate boxes where the hogs can get them. They are the best judges and will eat what they want and need. This method is now recognized by all hog growers to be the best. It will pay to give hogs, old and young alike, all the mineral

A PROCLAMATION

Pierre, S. D.-Character is not
wholly inherited, neither does 1t re-
suit from brief experience, but on the
contrary is is the product of imper-
ceptible accretion throughout the
years of life.
"Precept upon precept, line upon

is the formula for character building
prescribed by a wise ancient, and in
deed all of the PHILOSOPHERS of modern
learning have not improved upon it.
Profoundly impressed as 1 am with
the belief that a regular attendance at
the Sunday School Is one of the most
potent influences in forming good
character In our people,, and desiring
to advance the institution and give
encouragement to the devoted men
and women who freely and patiently
give their time. talent and strenpth
