Tension Increased.
The curt rejection by the President
OF the Informal proposal from Ger
many that the two nations negotiate
further regarding the submarine
blockade has admittedly increased the
tension. Other factors in the Situa-
tion are:

CALL FOR EXTRA
SESSION EXPECTED
Based on Failure of Congress
to Pass AdminiStra-
ton Program.

President Wilson is confidently eN-
/ pected in many quarters to issue
within the next two weeks a call for
an extra session of Congress to as
semble Immediately after the present
I Congress adjourns. on March 4.
While it is anticipated that the call
4 would be based on the failure OF the
present Congress to pass the various
| pending Administration bills, such as
railroad strike Legislation. flood con
: troll legislation. the corrupt practices
l bill and the oil land leasing and the
general dam bills. it is regarded as
not unlikely that the President might
want Congress available after March
in the event that il becomes neces-
sary for him to undertake warlike
steps against Germany.
Legislative Program Blocked.
Although inquiry in Administration
circles does not result in any pre-
else confirmation of the report that
an extra session will be called, there
is every indication in Congress that
none of the measures OF general leg
isIation demanded by the President
passing. By tight squeeze the ap-
preparation bills will probably get
through. and perhaps the revenue
measure, but that is as far as trained
observers at the Capitol will go in
their optimism.
Democratic sponsors for the various
Administration measures are all pull
ing at cross purposes, and even IN
the case of the revenue bill, which
the Democratic caucus approved, in
dividual members of the Senate are
organizing opposition against various
features of the bill. One group op-
poses the proposed tax on oleomar-
garine, another is against the excess
revenue tax; and so on.
Must Raise More Money.
If this measure fails it stands to
reason that, war or no war, an extra
session will have to be called. The
Government cannot proceed with the
program of expenditures authorized
by the appropriation bills with
$500 .OOO. 900 deficit staring it in the
face. Even the side-tracking of the
pork barrel" measures has not saved
the situation in this respect. Their
passage would merely have added TO
the size of the deficit.

bill increases, Senators continue in
time wasting fashion to jockey about
in the hope of obtaining a favorable
position for their pet measures in the
final legislative race of the session.
Those behind the flood control bills
decline to be edged out by those who
want the oil lands leasing legislation
given preference.
Senator Robert L. owen seeks to
elbow all others out OF the way VINO
are not backing his corrupt practices
bill. and Senator Newlands of Ne
vada has served notice that unless the
anti-strike railroad legislation is
given the position at the post he will
not permit any measure OF general
legislation to start down the track.

Grass Clippings for
Poultry.

Grass clippings are an excellent
green feed for chickens. The
backyard poultry flock of a fam
lily often lacks sufficient green
feed, with a consequent rcGuc-
ton of egg and meat production.
With the easy availability of lawn
clippings the city poultryman can
always have green feed through
the summer for his chickens.
The flock can be fed daily as
much of the green clippings as
they will eat. If any continued
bowel trouble shows, the amount
should be reduced. The remain
der of the clippings can he allow.
ed to dry and fed moistened DUR
ing the time between Lawn cut
tings.
Amounts ia excess can be dried
for winter use. Dried grass clip
pings are a good green feed for
winter. They can be dried and
stored in sacks. These dried clip |
pings. moistened ard fed to the
flock, are a very fair substitute |
FOR the succulent green feeds of
summer.

Something Wrong.

One New York dry goods store
is now advertising "one thousand
pieces Of Chinese and Japanese
silks" at prices ranging from As
ceLts to $500 a yard. There are
a good many yards in a thousand
pieces. If all this silk were to be
woven in the United States. in.
stead of in China and Japan,
there would be more work and
wages for large number of A.
mericans; more wages to be spent
by the wives of American work
ers over the counters of the re-
tail stores. The fact that mil
lions of dollars worth of silks
produced By the cheap labor of
the Orient are coming into this
country and taking the place of
silks which ought to be made
here is clear proof of the fact
that there is something wrong
