MY RAMBLES AROUND
THE FARM
By "Spud"

by SpuQ
The following verses were COM
posed and brought into the office by
a pretty little girl, called the poetess
of the Riverside school, nick named,
"Spud:"
First thru the barn-yard gate I sped,
The wonders catching my eye ahead;
Then thru the meadows fresh and
cleaf,
And all the sights that met me here.
The COWS a feeding on fresh green
hay,
The ducks in the pond swimming
away,
The tall green trees in their stately
form,
Protecting the birds from various
harm.
The clear blue brook as it ripples
along,
Muttering low it's silent song;
The dear little birds singing all the
time,
With the song of the brook it seems
to chime.
Then to the fields in the scorching
sun;
Work is a pleasure and lots of fun
Then comes the corn and the golden
grain;
Been thru the fields and back again.
What then should come to catch
your sight,
The milk maid milking the cows for
night;
While she is humming merry tune,
Happy as the birds and flowers Of
June.
The golden sun is sinking beneath
the western hills,
The birds goodnight song, each tone
with melody thrills,
I hope that natures children may
always be kept from harm,
And now I will say goodbye to my
rambles around the farm.

use in the United States for the six
months period, beginning March |,
1917, taking into consideration the
increase in their cost Of production
and other conditions affecting such
manufacturers. And

trying to find means to avert the
threatened disaster to publishers.
The trade commissions report to
congress on its investigation will be
delayed until decision is rendered
on today's proposal
The statement issued by the COM
mission said
1.-THE offer with its promise OF
lower prices and more equitable dis
tribution not only means the saving
of millions to the great publishers OF
the country, but averts the absolute
ruin that now threatens hundreds OF
the smaller publishers.
Outcome Of Probe.
The proposition is the outcome OF
the news print paper investigation
that the Federal Trade commission has
been conducting for the last eight
months. As result OF public hear
ings and the work Of economists, ac-
countants and field experts, the COM
mission arrived at the conclusion that
the paper shortage was largely ar
tihcial, that prices were cxtortionate
and that free competition had ceased
to exist.
1T was the evidence procured by
the commission and turned over to
| the attorney general that led to the
recent preparations for criminal
prosecution by the Department OF
Justice.
For the last two months the com
mission has been seeking speedy re-
lief from an intolcrable situation by
means of conferences between pub
fishers and manufacturers, but a
deadlock was the only result
Employment Of Heney.
Determining upon decisive meas
ures. the Federal Trade commission
employed Frances ]. Heney Of Cali
fornia, to assist the commission in Sc
curing instant action and relief. II
is through conferences between Mr.
Heney on the one hand and the manu-
facturers and their attorneys on the
other that. the proposition has been
made to put the whole matter up tc
the Federal Trade commission.
This was the proposition suggest
ed by the publishers January Il al
a Chicago conference and refused al
that time by the manufacturers. Once
convinced of the commissions de-
termination as we'll as impressed by
its presentation Of the evils and peril:
OF the situation, the manufacturer.
made the submission in a spirit o.
fairness and cooperation.
The principal features Of the Of
fer are:

operative buying to secure their news
print paper at practically the same
price as that which is herein-nnder to
be enjoyed by the larger publishers,
due provision being made for an addi-
tional cost OF distribution. News pub
fishers shall not be charged more than
said maximum price so found, fixed
and determined by the Federal Trade
commission, during said period OF
time. .
"And each Of the undersigned, while
not admitting, but, on the contrary,
expressly denying, that any law has
been violated by it, does nevertheless
hereby agree that the Federal Trade
commission may if it finds advisable
proceed forthwith to make recon-
mendations for the readjustment of
its business in order that it may main
tain its organization, management and
conduct of business in accordance
with law"
Marks New Era.
The proposition which has been
taken under advisement by the Fed
eral Trade commission IS said by gov
eminent officials to mark new era in
American life. The commission was
created to provide an. expert body for
scientific and economic adjustment
rather than prosecution, in order that
the public might not be compelled to
wait and suffer for relief during the
slower processes of the criminal law.
The offer of the news print manu-
facturers is the first practical recogni-
ton of the new idea by American bus
mess men. Official Washington is
amazed at the completeness of the
commissions accomplishment and al
ready there is belief that the action
of the paper manufacturers will be
followed by other groups that have
been charged with monopoly and
extortion.
II the commission accepts the offer
it is in a position by reason of facts
gathered in the last eight months to
make its decision before March |. This
done. first step has been taken for
the establishment of mutual relations
between publishers and manufacturers
even while competition is freed from
restraint and the public interest safe
guarded at every point.

Washington, Feb. l6.-(Special Tel
egram. )-Representative Shallenber-
ger, in half-hour speech today, lam
basted the uitra-preparedness people
and incidentally gave his distinguished
fellow Nebraskan, William Jennings
Bryan, one OF the cleanest bills of
health heard in many long day.
Yesterday Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts, took OCCASION, in a
speech bristling with iuvective and
innuendo, to speak most disparag-
ingiy of the efforts being made by
Mr.. Bryan looking to referendum on
the question OF whether we should go
to war against Germany.
In his speech today, which was
made in connection with the consider.
alton of the army bill, the biggest bill
ever reported from the military al
fairs committee, Mr. Shallenbergerr
declared it was futile for the United
States to go to war at this time, in
the light Of its almost criminal un-
preparedness.
Two Men Of Courage.
He said there was a sharp division
OF opinion between Mr. Bryan and
Mr.. Gardner as to what our national
policy should be.
"Mr. Bryan Is man Of great per
sonal magnetism and great personal
courage and. believe the gentleman
k.n.. kf..na.t,,e ottu ,e tho came They
both responded TO the call TO arms in
the Spanish-American war and were
willing to go forth and die for their
country, and although they have
passed that age now their patriotism
and courage are such that they would
! have no doubt, respond II the coun-
try needed them again.
''Mr. Bryan is engaged in keeping
the country out OF war, whereas the
gentleman from Massachusetts, seems
TO be doing the best he can to gel
the country into war, and | am will.
ing to abide by the verdict of the
country as to which Of these two
men is serving his country best in thi:
time of trial.
The Arbitration Treaties.
Further Mr.. Shallenberger sale
that Mr.. Bryan considered it thu
greatest honor ever permitted him il
his life that he was enabled to pre-
pare and negotiate forty arbitration
treaties, whereby we would b
enabled to settle national disputes II
accordance with the preecpts OF thu
Mann amendment attached to thu
naval bill which provides that inter
national disputes may be settled b,
arbitration"
Mr.. Shallenberger remarked that ht
himself had been maligned as to somt
matters growing out Of the present
tense situation, but greater injustice
was being done Mr.. Bryan, "one O
the greatest citizens Of the Unites
States and one Of the great patriots
Of the nation.
Consider the Cost.
He served notice on the prepared
ness advocates that If you are goin,
osbeG fully prepared you must pay thu
price"

RAILROADS GIVE 'WAGONETTE"
 SERVICE
(By Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15. - The advent of the dining car in a large measure did away with the twenty minutes for lunch" stops on American railroads. To replace it for the tray elers of the day coaches who do not wish to go to the dining cars, the Southern Pacific railroad is now talk ing the lunch to the day coaches.
 The company has inaugurated a "wagonette" service which brings a selection of cold mncheons from the dining car to the day coaches. The "wagonette" is a small wheeled ve- hicle composed of three trays where on are to be found sandwiches, pies, cold meats. cakes. bottled milk and hot coffee. tea and chocolate in ther- mos bottles.
 A servitor. dressed in a neat white uniform, wheels the "wagonette" through the day coaches and all one has to do is to attract his attention and be served without going to the rear in response to the Hast call for dinner in the dining car, three cars to the rear"
