 With cotton seed extraordinary precautions must be taken to meet requirements of the association from the time the seed is planted until the seed is marketed. The inspection consists of field inspection of the variety itself after the first bolls begin to open. Gin inspection takes place at the same time.
 'In custom gins or other gins where different varieties are being ginned, and where it is impossible or difficult to be certain whether or not pipes leading to and from the gin are clean, all seed which is being inspected must be dropped from the ginsstand and bagged. Af- ter ginning q sample of the seed which is representative of what the grower expects to sell is sent to the secretary of the association for test and is guaranteed as being charac- teristic of all that is to be sold. Re fusal to meet the guarantee wher the purchaser finds low grade o1 seed being sold means permanent disqualification of the grower iron membership in the association.

THE TEMPLE BELLS OF THIBET

 bells ever heard, ;...d 1 was Jingling
 them around like a real Chautauqua

 men held out to me two metal
 concaye disks about three inches Tn
 diameter, each disk fastened to the
 end of a single small chain. He told
 me to strike the disks together l did so and had one of the surprises
 of my life. Imagine the purest note Keisler ever drew from his violin or Paderewski ever struck, or Melba ever reached, and multiply 1t by a hundred and you will know what I heard-the most crystalline pure tone that ever sang out into the air. It was high and yet velvet and it held like the rising note ot a flute until it filled the whole room with it's music. Even the blue-eyed dog looked up from his bone and lis tened. and some twittering sparrows at the door grew silent. It seemed
 to challenge all nature by its per lection. I rang it again, l exam ined it. I carried into the open all an dtried it there. The Frenchmen
 were just as excited about 1t as
 was, and it was an Sold story with
 them. Was it the shape, the meta
 or the manner of casting, which did this thing? They don't know. It

was submitted today to the House by
Representative G.. Porter (Pa.), chair
man, while Democrats on the floor
were directing bitter attack agains
the constitutionality of the measure.
Representative Mondell (Wyo), the

Democratic attack with the assertion
that 1t was nothing moe than the
popping of pickets," and that the
peace resolution was certain to pass
the House later in the week.
The report OF the Republican lead
ers declares emphatically that it is
the plain duty of Congress to declare
the admitted fact that the war is
ended.
"The general welfare OF the United
States imperatively demands that all
uncertainty upon this subject shall
cease and that the ext aordinary war
powers of the Government shall be
vacated and set aside" the report
states. MANY Of these laws are ex-
tremely drastic and could be justified
only as war necessities; but since the
