hington.-Because to grant the
Filippinos full independence at the
present time would be likely to mean
the turning of them over to the do
minion of Japan, Republicans in Con-
gress are opposed to any such move
in the near future.
twenty-five prominent citizens OF
the Islands, representatives of the
House and Senate of our dependency
in the Pacific, have visited the Capt.
tai and made a renewed plea for self
determination. President Wilson ca
bled them that mot the least impor-
tant labor of the conference which
now requires my attention is that of
making the pathway of the weaker
peoples of the world less perilous-a
labor which should be and doubtless
is of deep and abiding interest to the
Filipino people" Secretary Baker,

them that "the time has substantially
come, II not quite come, when the
Philippine Islands can be allowed to

twenty years of American control
more and more self government has
been given to the Filippinos, who now
have a representative legislature, and
the time may come when they will be

wrong time now, when Congress is
about to investigate mismanagement

HEED THE WARNING
Many Maysville People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days Of suffering may be saved. Weak
kidneys usually expel dark, ILL
smelling urine, full of "brickdust"
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause dull
pain in the small Of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.

STOCK SAVING
PLAN ANNOUNCED
BY SWIFT & CO.
big Packers Announced n Profit shar.
Ing Plan Of Great Proportions.

Every employe OF Swift & Company
Is to be given an opportunity to be-
come a partner In the business, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
officials OF the company today. Dis
tribution of portion of the stock now
held In the company's treasury is to be
made at par $4,000 to every employe
who has been on the payroll for six
months.
The 1919 Employees Stock Savings
Plan, as the scheme is known, pro-
vldes that any employee, from Office or
messenger boy In the plant to, the
highest executive, may purchase these
shares at price far below that at
which the stock is quoted on the stock
exchanged in the country.
Under the plan provided, the stock
may be paid for by the employee on
basis of $1,000 per share down and 8
dollar a week per share to be deduct
ed from his salary. If the employee is
paying for Liberty Bonds, he may have
shares reserved for him and not be-
gin payment until after he has COM
pleted his Liberty Bond payments.
The amount of stock to be allotted
to each employe will be fixed accord
ing to wages or safary, ranging from
one (D to Ave (5) shares each, as fol-
lows:
Weekly Salary or Wage Emf to Shrs
Up to $40 ...................
$50 to $50 ..................2
$50 to $40 ..................
$40 to $50 .......................4
Over $50 .................

will greatly benefit by this plan of dis
tribution," said Mr.. L. F. Swift, presi-
dent of the company. 1--WE want our

the business and to feel that they are
really part of it rather than mere
wage earners. There is no reason why
every person on the payroll of Swift
accompany should not be partner in
the business, and we believe that by
this method we will be giving them a
good opportunity to become identified
with it in a closer way than that of
being on the payroll
I'VE now have, under our Employees
Stock Investment plan, more than s.
900 employees who are shareholders.
This plan has been in operation for a
number of years and provides that
stock is to be sold to employees on
the basis of 10 per cent down and the
balance over period of two years.
The employe purchasing in this way
pays the market price for his shares.

Washington, March 1O.-Miran
Savesly, chairman Of the Armenian
national council OF America, ia IN
Washington comforting with officials
regarding the question of the United
States becoming the mandatory for
Armenia under the proposed league
OF nations. Mr.. Savesly said the
people OF Armenia as well as Armen-

that the United States act as man.
datory for their country and that
while they would have to accept the
will of the majority nations, they
did not wish to have European ma

President Wilson discussed this
question with the congressional for

Fears Sufficient Time Has Not
Elapsed for Legislators to
Change Mind.
II f E MI Y DISAPPOINTED
Non-ActiOn on Highway Legis-
lation keenly Felt BY Gov
ernor COoper-Farmers Can
Control Cotton.

Governor Cooper will not call an
extra session of the general assam
bly to enact good roads legislation
or any measure looking to the relief
OF the present cotton crisis.
since the close of the general as
sembly one week ago, many tele-
grams and urgent messages have
peen received by the chief executive.
urging that an extraordinary session
be ordered for these two purposes.
In answer to these contentious.
Governor Cooper replies that good
roads legislation is improbable were
the legislators called back at this
Tune. The members thoroughly de-
bated the question Of good roads
and he does not think they have had
adequate time yet in which to
change their minds.
He is of the opinion that remedial
measures for the farmers can not he
effected through legislation, but re-
minds that holding on to last years
crop determinedly and reducing the
acreage of the crop this year is the
only possible solution for existing
condition. The following statement
was given out by the governor yes
terday afternoon:
Since the general assembly ad-
)ourned number of citizens. per-
haps rs all told, have written or
telegraphed to me expressing their
views on the advisability of an ex--
traordinary session. Those who ad-
vocate such a session base their con-
tention either upon the hope OF Sc
curing good roads legislation or up-
on the hope OF effecting. through
legislation. some plan for financing
the cotton planter.
only in case of an emergency
which could be handled by the gen
eral assembly would ! feel justified
in issuing call for an extraordinary
, session. I do not see now the jus-
tification for such call.
The general assembly fully de-
bated the road matter. and / have nc
reason TO believe that after the Ianse
or a few weeks that body will have
! altered its views on the subject of
road legislation am keenly dis
appointed at the failure to enact road
measures, but am not convinced that
special session would result in ef-
fecting the desired end.
The critical condition existing
because Of the low price of cotton
can not, as ] see the same. be reme-
died by legislation. The farmers.
! bankers business men in general and
the public at large hold the onlv So
luton The law OF supply and de-
mand can not be done away with by
any action our general assembly
might take. Cotton must be held.
and cotton acreage reduced. In no
other way can the price be made re-
munerative so long as world condi-
tions remain as they are now.
After the world has secured food
II VIII turn TO the question of
clothes and then will the demand for
cotton Increase. If. however, we
proceed TO raise great quantities of
cotton. the condition then. in regard
to the ratio between supply and de-
mand, will be the same as IL is now
or even worse"
