Taxes on Oil Pipe Lines Raised From

Washington, Oct. 10.-Resuming re-
vision of the war revenue bill the SEN
ate finance committee considered the
beverage sections and reduced the tax
of IS gallon Oh distilled spirits used
for beverage purposes as provided In
the house bin to 500 a gallon. The
doubled rates on beer and wine were
approved.
The present rate on spirits for bey-
erage purposes is $500 gallon, which
the committee established as the rate
for distilled spirits used for nonbev-
erage purposes, such as manufacture
of perfumes and medicines. instead OF
the $40 tax proposed by the house
on that class.
Reduction of the beverage rate from
IS to $3.50 per gallon on distilled spir-
its, IL was stated, is expected to stimu-
late both consumption and withdrawal
from bonded warehouses. and thereby
increase the $795, 100000 which the
house proposed TO raise from this
source.
The probable effect of the peA3ins

considered. Chairman Simmons said,

rates. Whether national prohibition
becomes effective July l, II was be-
lieved by the committee that the lower

SOLONS OPPOSE PEACE
coNGREsSMEN AGAINST FARLEY
UNTIL FOE ADMITS DEFEAT.
Senator Kirby Says, "We're Organized
to Whip He'll Out of
Germany"

Washington, Oct. S-Sentlment in
both branches of congress is emphat-
lcally opposed to according even a re-
spectful hearing TO any peace sugges-
tons from Germany or Austria until
they openly admit defeat and complete
failure of their war aims. or are thor
oughly thrashed by force of arms.
If the central powers sincerely de
sire cessation of hOstilities and
peace, Bulgaria has pointed the way.
This Is the opinion expressed by both
senators and representatives. II is
insisted that unconditional surrender
must precede any serious consideration
of peace proposals.
II such action is not forthcoming.
from the rulers of the enemy coun-
tries, it is suggested war with all its
terrible lessons of horror and desola-
ton must be brought home to the peo-
pie of Germany and Austria.
This briefly summarizes wide
range of view and comment on the
latest development at Berlin and vi
emma as expressed by leading members
of congress.
Senator w. F. Kirby, Arkansas
We're organized to whip hell out of
Germany. Maybe we'd better finish up
the job before we quit or listen to any
peace talk. 1t will save having 10 go
back to finish the work later.
Senator John X. Shields, Tennes-
see. of the senate committee on foreign
aifairs-We should not consider any
proposal Of peace or an armistice from
either Germany or Austria until they
get out or are driven out of every inch
Of territory they now occupy in France.
Belgium, Serbia and Russia We have
made vast preparations to destroy the
power of Germany and her allies as
any possible future menace to democ-
racy and civilization. The central
powers must surrender or by force of
arms we must compel them to unequiv-
ocally admit defeat and failure.
Senator James s. Watson, Indiana
My own hasty view of the situa-
ton is that il is prepOsterous to think
Germany can approach us with an
olive branch in one hand and a bomb
in the other. II the central powers
want peace they know how to get It,
They must do as Bulgaria did IT,
Representative f. f. Denison, nli-
nois-We should consider no peace
proposals until the Germans get out
of France and Belgium. Then they
must pay adequate indemnities for
their wanton distinctions. especially in
Belgium.
Representative f. f. Doremus of
Michigan see no basis for discus
sion of peace terms while the Germans
are In Belgium and In France They
must first withdraw.

the guests of the navy depart
ment The party came in response
10 an invitation extended by Secretary
Daniels to Sir Eric to return the visit
To England of Assistant Secretary

Geddes said:
For the last IS months we on our
side have had the opportunity OF see
ing your navy at work, and am
voicing the opinion not only OF the
British navy and the British nation.
but of the whole of the allies when i
say that your sailors, no less than your
gallant troops, nave won the deepest
admiration.
"Seamanship. technical skill, endur-
ance, ingenuity and good fellowship
all of these we knew we could ex-
pect from the United States navy, and
it is these very qualities In a degree
far exceeding our anticlpations which
have endeared your officers and men
10 us all.
1.-THE dauntless determination which
the United States has displayed In
creating a huge trained body of sea-
men out of landsmen is one of the
most striking accomplishments of the
war. Had it not been effectively done
one would have thought ii impossible"
The fact that the admiralty vessel
which brought the party to the United
States few the admiralty flag may
Rave significance. Never before has
this ensign been flown out of British
home waters. 1t means that a board
of the admiralty, vested with full pow
ers to make decisions for the admir-
atty which need not be referred for
confirmation, was on the ship.
Admiral Benson, chief of operations,
escorted the visitors to Washington.
Sir Eric took luncheon with Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House.
At the conferences all matters In
volved in the joint effort of the allies
and the United States to crush Ger

safe the seas for troop transports were
discussed

Advantage to Take More Pains to
Find Out Needs of Their Animals
and Feed Them Accordingly.
cottonseed hulls proved to be a good
fattening ration for calves for a short
feeding period.
When fed in conjunction with cot
tonseed meal, corn silage of rather
poor quality produced the same daily
gains on calves as did cottonseed hulls
and cheapened the cost of the daily
gains.
The substitution of two-thirds of the
cottonseed meal in a ration with corn
did not prove profitable when corn cost
20 cents bushel and cottonseed meal
$26 ton.
In one test 1t was profitable to re-
place one-third of the cottonseed meal
with corn-and-cob meal, but in a sec
ond test nothing was gained by the in
PRODUCTION of corn-and-cob meal. The
first year the calves which received
corn-and-cob meal made slightly larger
daily gains and sold for more than did
the calves which received cOttonseed
meal as the sole concentrate. The sec
ond year the addition of corn to the
ration did not increase the size of the
daily gains, nor did the calves which
received corn sell for any more per
pound than the other calves.
In third test 50 high-grade Aber-
aeen-Angus calves fed on a ration of
about three pounds of cottonseed meal,
two pounds of cowpea hay and as much
cottonseed hulls as they would eat
made daily gains at a cost of $3.50 per
hundred pounds and returned a net
profit of $3.50 each.
In a fourth experiment "a calves
which were fed for 112 days in the dry
lot and then fed SO days on pasture
made good daily gains. but the profits
were not as large as they would have
been if the calves had been sold at the
end of the winter. The gains made
during the summer We're good and
were made cheaply, but the price of
calves was so much lower in the sum-
mer than at the close of winter that
the continued feeding into the summer
months was not profitable.

ANIMALS
FATTEN CALVES FOR MARKET
Tests Conducted by Bureau of Animal

prepared by the United States Depart

In cattle feeding contests conducted
by the bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture and the
Alabama experiment station. covering
a period of five years, the fattening of
grade calves for market proved profit
able in every test made.
Cottonseed meal, eottonseed bulls
and alfalfa hay proved to be an excel
lent ration and profitable one for
fattening calves. Cottonseed meal and
