ASKS NE W FORM
OF LEGISLATION
Republican Senators Consider
ACCESSIBILITY of ReStOr-
ing Caucus.
by LOUIS LUDLOW.

WASHINGTON. Aug 2s The
fashioned caucus. so much con-
demned in the days OF Cannonisnl.
may be restored as a congressional
institution.
The more influential republicans
in congress are considering the wis
dom Of calling into action the old
caucus plan OF legislation. They are
not satisfied with the go as you
please plan now in operation. II
is failing TO produce desired results
they ray. Within recent weeks
there has developed a strong de-
mand for the adoption OF a legisla-
tive program by the committees on
order OF business in the two houses
and for the enforcement Of such
party discipline as will carry out
this program 20 the letter
A. present the majority is with
out eny definite legislative program.
The republicans In the two houses
know in a general way that they
must provide for the return Of the
railroads 20 private ownership. that
they must do something on the high
cost OF living. that the immigration
question must be handled. that
some tariff legislation must be en-
acted. etc. but neither the rank and
file nor the leaders have any clear
idea as 10 what shall be done Any
such hit-and- d-miss policy the repub-
N senators and representative
~e beginning 10 realize. viii, II per
sisted in. prove disastrous.
Serve As Warming.
The high cost Of living develop
ments have served as a warning to
the majority in each house Con
rolling each branch of congress. as
ey DO. the republicans had an op-
portunity 10 initiate legislation deal
nE with the high cost situation. but
ev took no action and the house
was ready To take a months rest
when the president jumped in with
his high cost oe living message.
As a result OF that experience
here is general agreement among
he majority members i'm each
branch that they must be more
alert. that they must not go 10 sleep
and permit the executive depart
fntHl 10 AuEt the llllAldA4ht WlAfi
congressional action is clearly
needed
There IS no unity OF thought and
consequently small prospect of unity
Of action on any OF the important
legislative problems pressing for So
ution. IL Is evident that unless leg
station affecting the meat packers
s made a party measure II will fail.
and the same thing IS true OF some
OF the legislation proposed in CON
pection with the cost of living.
BailrC legislation also will have

ne majority Is willing 20 waste
months in dealing with it II is a
question. Of course. just how far
party discipline could be enforced
through the old-fashioned caucus.

 who are members of the Butler county
 Swine Growers association are reaping
 considerable financial benefit from the
 system of cooperative marketing that
 the association is following
 The hogs sold at the two last hog days
 brought good prices and this has en-
 couraged the growers to a large degree
 One carload was held up on account Of
 an embargo placed on hogs by the United
 States railroad administration and the
 hogs had to be fed for week, which
 cost the growers small amount per
 hog. This was understood by them, how
 ever, who will continue boosting the hog
 growing industry.
 On account of the weather the har-
 vesting period for velvet beans being un- usually bad it is claimed by local velvet bean experts that it will be difficult to
 save seed for the 1919 crop. E. J. Han- cock of Greenville director of peanut and velvet bean market bureau for Ala bama, advises the farmers to be especi- ally careful in, saving seed, and to see that nothing but sound beans are saved for this purpose.
 During the few weeks when cotton was so low recently many bales of cotton were held in Greenville and ad- jacent territory for higher prices. Now, since the price has greatly advanced,
 much of this cotton has been sold. It is understood that a local concern recently sold one lot of 2OOO bales, bringing a good price, Several smaller lots have been sold during the past few days. It is believed by several of Greenville g physicians that the influenza situation in Greenville is much worse at present than it has been at any time during the epidemic that started some months ago Members of many families in Greenville are stricken with the disease and in a number of them almost the whole family are victims of the dreadful disease. This is not only the case in Greenville, but at other places in Butler county, where a call has been made for nurses to assisI in the care of the patients.

 T don't think you or anybody else ever saw the gentleman thus attired,' ths woman replied hotly and fell to contem- plation of the sparkling buckles upon her I dainty slippers.
 T only mean to indicate that he is cratic; he wears such queer whiskers," the man responded by way of explana- ton.
 "All men will soon be wearing whiskers I imagine, much as we may dislike them just as all men are now wearing wrist watches, and you know what joke they used to me-" the woman said humorously.

Young doctors spend months growing Van Dyke boards and young lawyers incline to the same, because such facial adornments make them appear older.
