A banker who had visited China sew

Thousands Honor
President Wilson

Washington. President Wilson
made his first public appearance
Thursday in more than year when
he was lifted in his wheel chair to the
east portico of the White House while
hundreds of Washington league of ma
lions adherents gathered on the White
House lawn to do him honor.
The crowd of men, women and chill
dren bearing state banners and the ma
tional flag under the leadership of
John F. Costello, democratic national
committeeman for the District of Col
umbia, assembled at democratic ma
tional headquarters and marched to
the White House.
AS the president was lifted in his
wheel chair up the steps from the in
terror of the White House leading to
the east portico the crowd on the ter
race below broke into applause and
joined in the singing of America"
Mrs. Wilson and members Of the
family stood about President Wilson
while the crowd sang. With an over
coat buttoned closely about him and
a soft hat shading his face, the presi-
dent sat silently watching the throng
below. There was more cheering as
the song ended.
A soloist sang Garry Me Back to
or Virginie," and the crowd picked up
the chorus. The presidents face re-
Taxed and he turned his head to speak
to Mrs. Wilson beside his chair. AS
the song ended amid renewed cheers
a large bouquet of flowers was laid
upon the balustrade before him. Mr..
Wilson raised his hat and held it aloft
as attendants rolled his chair back to-
ward the door. The crowd sent up
cheers for the league and for the
president, and as Mrs. Wilson waved
final greeting from the doorway
sang "The Star-Spangled Banner"

U. S. ALLOWS TEXAS COTTON
QUARANTINE MODIFICATION

Washington.-A modification of the
quarantine against the pink boil worm
in Louisiana and Texas and extending
authority for the shipment of cotton
lint and linters under permit, were
announced by the United States de-
partment of agriculture Monday as eff
feotive on Nov. 1. The new ruling
will permit expectation of cotton
grown in Ell Paso county, under regu-
lations, through the gulf ports, and to
permit interstate movement to North
ern points for consumption of Louis
lana linters, which have been in stor-
age for such a period as to prevent
them from being the means of spread
ing the pest.
Due to lack of demand during the
last two years for linters for domestic
purposes and closing of the foreign
demand, there has been considerable
accumulation of linters at mills in the
regulated zone of Louisiana.

Both republicans and democrats are
to present their views in individual

not contemplate for the present, at
least, any general assemblage OF his
advisers for round table discussion.

said in announcement from the presi-
dent-elect's office Friday that men

Both of these places have been plac-

none Of the staple will be allowed to
be raised on this land for two years.
THE infested area in Caddo parish
Is much greater than In the adjoining
parish, and | am not certain that the
state reimburses the farmer who Is
prevented from raising cotton on his
farm. 1t would be well for the peo-
pie in this section of the country to
bring the matter before the Legisla-
ture. About the matter of payment
