THE GOODFELLOWS CLUB

The Goodfellows Club met at the court house yesterday morning at the call of Mr M. L. Moore, chairman.
 A motion passed to make the Pres colt Goodfellows Club a permanent organization, having for its purpose the relief of those in and near our own community who may be in dire need of physical necessities.

LAST CHAPTER
 CALDWELL & DRAKE
Make Appropriation to Pay At tOrneys Fees-SenatOrs Have Spirited Debate-Several of Amendments Voted Down.

Little Rock, Feb. 13.-The most exciting time the Senate has had in an open session, occurred Monday af- ternoon when the Slaughter bill to appropriate about $15,000 to pay the expenses of the settlement with Cald- we'll x Drake, the former capitol con- tractors. There was nothing fiery in the debate, but the argument was spirited, and not without it sspice.
 The Slaughter bill provided for S5,- 900 each for Judge Jacob Trieber, Chief Justice E. A. McCulloch, and J. V. Walker, the members of the com mission which heard the evidence and decided the contest. Senator Ed mondson sought to reduce this to $2 900 each His motion was finally voted down, to 19 Senator Ruff followed this with an amendment to reduce the amount to $2500, and this too was voted down.
 Senator Brown was presiding over the committee of the whole when all this was done. The Ruff amendment was tabled by a vote of 16 to 2, and then the opponents of the bill sought to table the entire section. Senator Brown ruled that an entire section could not be tabled in a committed of the while. Objection avs then made as to the tabling of the amendment which brought from Senator Brown the ruling:
 'T don't know whether you have done right or wrong, but you have done it."
 The amendment remained on tht table and the fight then took place or the section which provided an attor ney fee of $3000 for John Ike Moore IC. w. Mckay and Steve Carrigan, Jr The budget committee, of which Sen ator Moncrief is chairman, offered al amendment to reduce the fee of tn two younger attorneys to $3,OO0. H { declared that they were not entitled to as much as Judge Moore, who hat gone to New York to take dispositions and took the lead in everything. Tn Senate took another view, rejecting the amendment to IA, but not with out an argument in which many Sena tors participated, and in which gen eral laugh was provoked when Sena tor asked Senator Caldwell, who wa: speaking off the bill, if he was th' Caldwell mentioned in the firm ot Caldwell and Drake.
 The bill finally passed by vote ot 26 to 5.

LEARNING HOW TO MARKET.

With highly specialized side-line: on the farm there will be greater de mand for business practices so essen tial in commercial transactions. While business ability is needed in any divi- sion sof farming it will be indispens- able in some of the special lines.
 Dairying for instance requires a great deal more business judgment than cotton growing. The cows must be cared for; much attention must be given to feeding, shelter and pasture. The milk must be handled in an ap- proved manner; marketing the pro- ducts requires considerable attention to the business side of farming.
 Fruit and truck growing are highly specialized divisions of farming. No one can succeed we'll with either of these divisions without giving more attention to the business than the or dinary farmer who grows corn and cotton. With these divisions market ing is of great importance.-Farm and Ranch.

LANCASTER, PA, March Is, 1917.


Growers generally are at present
more concerned over the question of
planting the 1917 crop than selling it.
AS body they believe there will be no
trouble on that score. They are not
likely to enter into any contract before
the crop is planted, unless offered such
a price as would throw last years
prices in the shade, nor are they likely
to sell on the field this year at last
years figures. Certainly not at the
prices that prevailed when buying be-
gan last year. If the crop while grow
ing gives promise of being as good az
the 1916 tobacco there will be no start
ing the crop at IL cents, nor at 13 or Ia
cents, either. 1t can be set down as
certain that Is cents will be the mini
mum price asked, and how much more
goodness only knows. Little selling of
any kind of old goods took place last
week, because there is so little in the
market. The packer who has anything
like fairly decent stock on hand is
parsonage to be looked up to, and his
favor courted. But it takes top-notch
prices to get what he has, and he don't
let go easily. The cigar trade continues
to num right along. Factories have all
the orders they can handle and all the
big cnes could work more hands if they
could only get them.

PRESIDENT WILSON is reported as be-
ing amazed at the peril of nationwide
paralysis through railway strike.
But he need not be; he should have
known last fall when he surrendered
the country to 400, 900 railway workers,
that these same 400, 900 having ''put it
over" once, would come back for more.
There's nothing surprising about it.;
nothing amazing-the railway men told
Mr. Wilson and congress what to ex-
pect. The situation is logical outcome
of last September's political eight-hour
fasco. The president and congress set
the stage last fall for the strike peril
that threatens today. This is no time
for meek appeal; it is time for deter
mined stand; let the railway workers
know now and for all time that var
ious wage demands are as nothing COM
pared with the interests and rights of
the United States. Railway employees
in common with all others have right
to strike, if they will, but the govern
ment has a way of meeting the situa-
ton. Cleveland tried it and won.-Mil-

grown cultivation, however. is too ex-
pensive luxury for the average to-
bacco planter, and, assuming that he
had sufficient capital, there still remain
other problems Labor, fertilizer and
tent covering. Satisfactory fertilizer
is hard to procure at any price, grow
ers contend. Orders for tent coverings
are not filled by mills the day they are
received and the difficulties of the
labor problem the country over are too
we'll known to need elaboration.
The foregoing are the reasons why
the 1917 Shadegrown acreage is likely
to be rather smaller than the outlook
would seem to warrant. Nevertheless
there will be some increase, and your
correspondent would not be surprised
to see the six thousand acre mark
reached, or even passed, this year.

POINTING out in detail the extrava-
gance of the democratic administra-
ton, as compared with expenditures
under republican control, Representa-
tive Martin B. Madden of Illinois de-
livered an address during the recent
revenue debate which every voter
should read. Among other things, he
said: You have squandered $162, 900, 900
to no purpose in the Mexican border
fasco, $25, 600, 900 in the Vera Cruz in
cident, S35, 600, 900 in Alaska, S11, 0OO,-
900 in an armor plate plant, 500, 900, 900
in nitrate plant, $50, OOO,OO in ship
purchase scheme, $1,000, 900 in flood
control scheme, which means nothing
but the reclamation of privately owned
lands You spent last year $40, 100000
on the river and harbor bill, much of
which went into dry creeks, where you
were compelled to dig artesian wells to
furnish the water. You have increased
the number of men on the payroll at an
annual cost of $50, 900.
