He was referring to the Presidents recommends ton that war; time prohibition be aoan- doned for want of necessity.

 'I am not a subject of President Will son. but free-born citizen of Canada!

MANY BILLS TO
 HELP THE FARMER

Washington, June S.-(Special)-The down trodden farmer must continue to swat his own flies, but the government IS preparing to do e>s-ything else for him. All other pests must go.
 Here are some of the bills pending, with money attached:
 By Representative Hayden, of Arizona Destruction of wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, prairie dogs, ground squirrels and gophers, s40,0O0
 By Senator Fletcher, of Florida-De- struction of the sweet potato weevil, S5- coo
 By Senator Fletcher. of Florida-De- struction of the European corn borer' $500, 900.
 The cattle tick, the boil weevil the wheat worm, the mosquito and other pests to farmers have been receiving the attention of congress and departmental experts for many years. It's a sad day for the insect when the farmer gets on his trail.

fervent prohibition orator calling himself the Georgia Cyclone. Is In Congress as representative of the Atlanta district He is laying a predicate for long, con- tinuous service.
 At any rate, he has introduced bin requiring the government to pay pensions to Confederate veterans. He states that he has received promises from many re- pubicans of both Houses to support his bill He states that there would be nothing incongruous in the government pensioning those who, despite the justice of their cause, attempted to destroy the government.
 Many other efforts to the same effect have been made since General Lee sur rendered. All of them have failed. It is regarded as certain that the Upshaw bill will go the way the others went. However 1t should make him solid with the few survivors of the Lost Cause, who would accept penesions from the government.

tunities in the southern states for land development are so wide, in such great variety and so well known that it is scarcely necessary to go into descrip- tion of them, said Arthur P. Davis, di- rector of the United States reclamation service, in testimony before the house committee on public lands in support of the Mondell bill providing for the estao- lishment of community agricultural set dement's for soldiers of the world war.
 There are large opportunities on cut over timberlands and wet lands in the south," continued MT. Davis. There are tracts of land available that.could be ac- quired cheaply and economically devel- oped. Some of them need draining, others clearing and solAe both clearing and draining. The transportation facilities are good"
 Florida has the greatest area of unde- veloped land among the southern states,
 Mir. Davis said, much of which is avail able for soldiers settlements. Louisiana is second among the southern states in the matter of opportunities for land de- velopment. In that state, said Director Davis, it is easy to find large areas where colonies of 800 to 1000 families can be located Wet lands in Louisiana are good for farming. The witness expressed the opinion that the farms for soldiers Tn that state should range in size from 6o to 100 acres

For the Good of
 The COmmunity

4 T 1:45 o'clock Friday morning dead dog was lying in the middle o1 Twenty-second street, few feet south of the sidewalk at Fifth avenue
 From the great swarm of flies big ones, little ones, green ones and black ones -feasting on the carcass, it was evident it had been there for sometime, probably sev- eral hours.
 At other places in Fifth avenue and in other streets heaps of trash and rubbish thrown into or piled in the street could be seen and the heaps bore every appearance of having been there at least day or two, maybe longer.
 The filthy condition of some of the streets, especially in the business district, has been reverted to a number of times in these columns, and have been commented upon by citizens and visitors alike.
 Filthy streets are neither pleasing to the sight nor conducive to good health. It is encouraging to note that the re- juvenated Chamber of Commerce has | taken notice of such things as unclean \ streets, and with this body interesting it. \ self in the matter of cleaning up, with it's 2300 or 2400 members, made up of all classes of people-th merchant, the man. ufacturer, the workman, the professional man, the minister, the educator and the women, too-a little more energy may be injected into the city department having charge of this work.
 That clean streets are demanded by the citizens may well be imagined from the number who suggested the matter at the Chamber of Commerce group meeting last Thursday The first two suggestions for Chamber of Commerce activities related to cleaning up the parks and playgrounds and the streets

 Clean streets add to the appearances of city; they are an advertisement that at tracts people to a city and makes them want to live in it when they once get there. And per contra, as the lawyer would say in his brief, dirty, filthy streets drive the stranger away and shame the citizens.
