The Ordinance of 1910 states that

is Section SIS in the Ordinance providing
for subsidies to those private schools

Gil to understand that they have their du-
ties to perform. 1t is their duty to see
whether the rights of the public is in
tact or not.
When the laws were introduced it was
done in good faith, and likely the pro-
ponent of the Draft did not know at
that time that it was in conflict with
United States principles. | believe
if my amendment is rejected and
the matter goes before the Court,
the Court will decide in the same manner
as the Courts in the United States have
decided.
I have brought this draft before the

SHARP BREAK IN
 NEW YORK COTTON
HIGHER PRICES EARY DECLINE ON OPTOMISTIC TONE OF THE CROP REPORT.

New York, June 16.-The more fa- vorable average of crop news and the optomistic tone of the weeks re- port led to sharp break in the cot ton market here today. Prices vert higher ,early, but there were increased offerings at 35.18 for October and that delivery sold off to 94.58 in the late trading, with the general market closing barely steady at net decline of 25 to 53 points.
 The opening was 2 points higher to ' points lower Selling became more active and general after the publica- tion of the weekly report indicating that the crop had made good pro- gress over the entire belt with sub- stantial improvement in some sec. tions.
 The scattering short interest had evidently been pretty. well covered on the early rally and which carried the prices some so to 65 points above the low levels of yesterday and there was very little support in the late trading. July sold off to 37.60 while December was relatively weak, break ing to 3.25 or 53 points net lower. Closing prices were at the lowest of the day.
 Port receipts today, 6,403 United States port stocks, 964,S98. Exports today, 1,641; so far this season, G. 086,O72.
 Cotton closed barely steady.

MILK AS A FOOD

Dairy products are the cheapest source of animal food, but few peo- pie fully appreciate the value of milk as. food. A quart of milk is equal in food value to pound of the fol lowing products: Sirloin and round steak, pork chops, smoked ham, fowl, etc. "Milk containing per cent fat" says a recent circular of the Illinois Experiment Station, lis more econo- mical source of both protein and en- ergy than our meats, eggs, poultry, or fresh fish. It is complete food in itself, containing protein, fat, su- gar, vitamines and minerals" These statements being true, it is shame for the farmer not to keep the neces- sary number of milk cows to produce the greatest abundance of milk for the family-The Progressive Farmer.

FRANCE GETS PATENT; BRITAIN

USE 1T.
NOW WONDER OF WARFARE
Belgians Making a Similar Weapon
and Yanks Ask to See Tests
Just Two Years Ago That
Huns Bombarded Paris.

PARIS.-Delamare Mase, a French
inventor, has sold to the French gov
ernment the patent of a new long
range gun which. after thorough tests,
has shown it has an effective range of
100 to l20 miles. The shell of this
terror-dealing weapon leaves the muz-
zle at a speed of about AIS feet a
second.
Premier lloyd George announced in
the British parliament recently that
England had been negotiating with
France to obtain the right to use the
plans of the gun.
The Belgian government is now
manufacturing a similar cannon at
iege. American military attaches in
Europe have written to the Belgian
government asking that American
representatives may be allowed to
observe the tests.
In connection with the development
of this wonderful piece OF ordnance,
which is calle dthe "Turbon cannon, -
it, will be recalled that two years
ago last Tuesday the Germans began
to lombard Paris with their long
range big Berthas,' the shells fall
