DRY" RULE
May not BE
MADE A Law

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 27-After all
that has been said about the Reed
amendment to the postoffice bill, the
bone dry amendment, there is much
doubt whether it will become a law.
Whether it become a law this SEES
sion depends on what is done with
the postoffice bill. That measure is
Still in conference and there is a strong
prospect of a disagreement. On a num-
Der of important items, he House ana
Senate conference find difficulty in
reaching an adjustment. One of them
relates to the pneumatic tubes In the
large cities. The House lined up with
Postmaster General Burleson, who is
against them, but the Senate directed
that the contract of the postofflce de
partment with them be renewed. An
other item which is in dispute Is the
increase in pay of rural carriers, which
justment of railway mail pay is an
other subject of controversy.
When the bone dry amendment
was first proposed in the Senate. the
VETS were enthusiastic for 1T, but
when the "drys'' took it up n backed
wanted, hat put a different a on
matters. 1t soon became plain that it
would strike a heavy blow at the bust
ness of distilleries and brewers. Then
arose opposition and now that there
is a prospect of killing it by letting
the whole %postoffice bill fail, the OPP
ponents of the amendment are doing
what they can to strengthen this pros
pect.
Postmaster General Burleson is not
averse to having the bill fail because
he would not be required to renew the
contract with the pneumatic tube in
terests. Moreover, he is by no means a
%proponent of the dry cause and will not
shed tears if the "bone dry" amend
ment is beaten. Chairman Moon, of the
House postoffices committee. has tried
family thus far to get the time extended
when the bone dry" amendment goes
into effect. On the whole. it is plain to
be seer there is a condition Of things
which is calculated to put stumbling
blocks in the way of the p%ostoffice
measure.

urging people to eat rice instead of

rice is available at II low price. it is
said, to afford relief until legislation
can be enacted.
On Wednesday,, it was announced.
public hearings will begin at Albany

The department of health. i'm q re-
port to the mayqor declared that there
was less dependency and real need in
the city than had been common for
many years past. AT the same time
the department reported thai inability
to buy sufficiently nourishing food at
the prevailing prices. The report urged
that tho poor be educated to buy food
more intelligently and said that the
welltodo might contribute toward his
education by altering habits of care

ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
nome in Iowa is held ut $150 per acre.
These lands are in a high state of Gull
tivation, with splendid Improvements
In houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on Investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
30 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
30 bushels per acre. This year the
same qua~rter-section. sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1926 bushels. His
share. 1,G43 bushels of 1 Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2,563.0S.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
%threshing bill cost him $4,000. Allow
ing a share Of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is SO per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
n can figure up that another aver-
age crop will pay, not , or ) per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. MI. Barr says:
"That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. III. Kerton, q tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: We'll, George, what shall
1 tell friends down home for you?"
The reply was: 'Tell them I shall
never go back to be q tenant for any
man. Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1916 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devoteS
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: sLet ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmstcads to be
finished for market. There is money
in it."-Advertisement.
