the decline in prices of wheat anc

tension to cover scores of other COM
modities. was the purpose of a joint
conference of members of the senate

committee.
Although members of the twoTcom-

how far the tariff program should ex-
tend, with some advocating the entire
wiping out of the free list OF the Tn
derwood tariff act, Chairman, Fordney
of the ways and means committee said
he favored rushing through the emer-
gency protection for wheat and wool
and few other commodities and letr
ting other tariff matters go over for
further consideration.
Consider Farmer Relief.
While the finance committees were
considering the question of checking
price declines through tariff en-
barge, the. formation of a policy for
dealing with all pending farmer relief
legislation was to be undertaken by a
special committee appointed by mem
bers of the house who banded together
for concerted action to aid the farm
ers.
To deal with the situation arising
from the refusal of the Western Union
Telegraph company to accept from
members of congress messages to he
charged to government account, Rep
resentative Ireland of Illinois, chair
man of the house accounts commit
tee, has introduced bin to authorize
local postmasters to pay bills present
ed by managers of telegraph com
panies for messages accepted from
government officials. The postmaster
general would reimburse the postmas-

fredericksburg, HOME
OF MY CHILDHOOD
By J. r. kenney.

Bevond the town of fredericksburg,
Where Nanticoke's tides cease to flow,
Below its hills shading its banks
Where birch and maple trees grow,
How often around the gate holes deep
We've roamed, pants up, legs bare.
Wading the stream, with hook and line
Catching sun-perch swimming there'
We haven't forgotten the old school house
Built near the rivers bank,
On the opposite shore magnolias grew
Blooming beautiful. white and dsns
Our schoolgirl mates, the best of all
With their dimples and curly hair.
Waited on the lawn after recess bell,
To meet us in the shade out there.
All. all has changed, the river. the town,
Gone the grave yard, the school house,
the mill,
The loved, for whom our hearts once
throbbed
Now sleep in the new cemetery's bills.
Well meet them again where there is no
night,
As heavens sun never goes down,
No happier voices again will sing
Than those from our dear old town.
