HARDING HAS FINE DAYS
CRUISE ON HOUSEBOAT
Stops as Ornond Beach and

ORMoND BEACH, Fla, Jan. 23.-The
houseboat Victoria, on which President
elect Harding Is cruising down the In
dian River, made the first stop OF her
voyage at Ormond Beach this afternoon.
Her passengers debarked for a two hour
motor ride along the Florida east shore
boulevard. The stop here and a brief
tieup when the Victoria tried to go
through the Ormond drawbridge were
the only incidents on the log of the
houseboat during peaceful Sundays
sailing.
Taking advantage of perfect weather,
she pushed ahead Of her schedule, and
when she tied up for the night she was
within few hours Of Rockledge. where
the party expects to go ashore sometime
tomorrow for golf match.

Victoria for more than an hour. She
attempted the passage at too shallow a
point and stuck in the mud in such a
position that the bridge could not be
closed until her little engine had forced

than a score of automobiles were held
UP. and a crowd of several hundred
gathered on the bridge and cheered the
houseboat when she finally extricated
herself. At no time was the Victoria In
dangerous position, and although her
rudder was damaged her master said the
injury was not serious.

The conferees will decide what steps
should be taken for keeping the Demo-
cratic organization alive and function
ing in the hope OF prec!pitating swing
back from the Republicans ct the Con-
gress elections in 1929.

Executive of Ohio expired about ten
days ago, is coming to Washington to
be the guest of Judge T. It. Ansberry.
formerly of Ohio. with the double pur-
pose Of holding the conferences and OBJ
tanning passports for himself and Mrs
Cox to go to Europe. The Coxes will
be in Washington all week. Several din
ners have been arranged at which the
Democratic leader is to be guest Of
honor.
With the Democrats still in control Of
the Administration. although their de-
parture from Office is only little more
than month away, 1t has been decided
tina this is an opportune time to hold the
conferences. While there has been no
general call for members of the National
Committee they have drifted into Wash

things over in preparation for the lean
years ahead. hoping they will be able to
find some way of keeping together such
of the Democratic organization wreck
as can be eaIvaged. The sting of over

Democratic leaders are ready to talk
business.

date. but part of II will have to be

Settling a Complicated Question.

One Of the Gueerest requests that
has reached state officials for several
months is a petition signed by eight
beekeepers at Kale, Mo-, asking that
owners Of a sorghum mill nearby be re-
quested' to screen the mill so as to
prevent great loss to the petitioners
because of the death of their bees af-
ter visiting the mill. After long and
tortuous journey through federal and
state boards, the petition finally
reached the board of agriculture, and
Jewell Mayes replied that after a care
full search of the statutes he believes
the beekeepers have no recourse at
law, but are liable themselves under
the statutes prohibiting trespassing.-

SONG SLOW TO WIN FAVOR
But "Tipperary" Will Be Dear to Brit
ish Hearts for Many Genera
tons to Come.

ITS a Long Way to Tipperary" was
written in 1911 by Jack Judge, singer
in the English music halls and of pure
Irish blood. A friend, Harry Williams,
assisted him in the work ; but virtually
words and music are Mr.. Judges own.
He carried the manuscript from pub
Usher to publisher without success
until in 1912 he tried the London house
of B. Feldman & Co. Bert Feldman
Hked the piece and was willing to pub
dish it if Mr.. Judge would agree to GER
tain minor changes. One was the repe-
tition of the word long" and another
was the lengthening of the third syl-
liable of the word "Tipperary"-
toward the end of the chorus. Mr..
Judge consented and the song was pub
lished, as it also had been written,
with not a thought that it would be-
come, two years later, a marching song
of soldiers in a great war, and so
known wherever English is said" or
sung" At first the song had only a
slight sale. But Mr.. Feldman kept his
confidence, and, as the story goes, one
day when the composer was deploring
the cool reception of the piece at Edin-
burgh, the publisher said to him:
Take my word for it, that not only
Edinburgh but all the world will one
day ring with your song"
And it did. "Tipperary" will never
be forgotten by the English, 1t has an
'nner meaning dear to them.

Dairynl en-, This Is Your
Business.

DEAR SIRs:--
The New England Dairy Tariff Com
mittee, composed of representatives frol
he various farmers organizations in tn
New England states, including the Grene
Farm Bureau, and the New England
Milk Producers Association, has after 81,
months ofinvestigation and research, ask
ed Congress for duties on certain dairy
products as follows. Butter lOc per pound,
Heavy Cream Soc per gallon, Milk 3 &c
per gallon.
The permanent tariff bill as passed by
the House gives tariff rates as follows
Butter Sc per pound, Heavy Cream lover
5000 10c per gallon and Milk 1c per GAL
Ion. The committee believes these duties
are grossly inadequate to protect the New
England dairyman against foreign compe-
tition and they are standing out for their
original demands
You are probably aware that the source
of milk and cream supply for New Eng
land has been expanding into Canada at
rapid rate where, due to lower costs of
production and favorable exchange rates,
milk and cream can be purchased at a
price lower than the cost OF production in
New England.
The Importation of such dairy products
from Canada and other foreign countries
have serious effect upon the price receiv-
ed by New England producers. Imports
of fresh milk from Canada into the United
States have increased from 5000 gallons
in 1913 to over 100000 gallons in 1920.
In 1913 milk carried duty of &c per gal
lon, while since that year it has been on
the free list. The imports of cream ir
1918 and 1920 were practically the same,
bat with lower duty On cream than on
butter, such imports of cream would in
crease tremendously in the future. I'M
ports Of butter from Canada have increas-
ed from $4,000 pounds in 1913 to over
100000 pounds in 1920.
The inequality of tariff rates as passed
by the House are easily apparent when we
realize that one gallon of 400 cream,
which will make about four pounds of
butter, carries a duty of only 10c while
four pounds of butter would under the
rate of Sc per pound for butter, carry 32c
in duties. The same is true of milk, one
gallon of which would mike about four
tenths of pound of butter, which at the
rate on butter, would call for duties Of
over &c per gallon. The House bill carries
only 1c per gallon on fresh milk. We
need at least 35c per gallon on cream and
SIC per gallon on milk.
We would also appreciate your asking
your members to write personal letters to
their Representatives and Senators re-
garding the tariff rates they wish, If the
New England dairyman is to receive ade-
quate protection, he must make his wants
known to his representatives in Congress
in nunc 5rtain tie rrn S.
Yours very truly.

Pres Lamoille County N. E. M. P. A.
