When Doctors Disagree Poor Bill!

WITH the resumption of tariff hear
w ings by the senate finance COM
mittee, congress will settle down
for an aIl-winter grind on the revision
of customs laws. Although February
l has been fixed as the date to which
the emergency tariff will be extended,
no one seems TO believe that congress

manent tariff legislation by that date.
The date, February 1, was selected
admittedly with a view to speeding up
the progress of the permanent bill.
The radical departure determined
upon in the American valuation plan,
which contemplates the abandonment
of the policy of assessing import
duties on the foreign invoice value,
followed by the United States prac-
ticaily all the time for more than a
century, has been the primary cause
of the slow progress made In revis-

The girl might have been born In

smoked a cigarette In an imitation

Suddenly tall, rather distinguished
looking man entered the tea room. Tha

Instantly the earrings were jefked

stepped on, the cigarette holder was
tucked into her bag and she rubbed
her napkin briskly over her lips.

PLAN FOR CANADIAN LEGION
ton to AmaIgamate All Veterans
Similar to American Body.

The amalgamation of all war vet
Grams Of Canada into a Canadian
Legion to be founded on principles
similar to those of the American
Legion has been approved by officials
of the various war organizations.
More than 10000 leaders in the vet
erans' associations have pledged their
support Of the merger.
1t has been shown that one organi-
cation can operate more effectively
and at less expense than q half a
dozen organizations with common
interest and purpose. The merger
viii make possible closer co-opera-
ton between the veterans and the
Canadian government, which has al
ready spent S84, 100000 in the estab-
lishment of returned soldiers on land.
A recent report shows that $1,000
individual ex-service men have been
benefited by the laws, the objects OF
which were soldier re-establishment
and the development of the agricul-
tural resources of the dominion. IN
der the law, any ex-seryice man eligi-
BILE from a military standpoint, having
seen service overseas, may apply for
loans up to the maximum of $500

improvements, $1,000. If on incum-
bered land. the ex-Soldier is entitled to
loans amounting to $1,000; if on free

the case of purchased land the settler
must pay 10 per cent of the cost price
of the land as a guarantee Of good
faith.

USE GREEN MANURIAL CROPS
Gradually Taking Place of Stable
Manures TO Keep Up Supply of
Organic Matter.

Prof. r. L. Watts, writing In the
Market Growers Journal, sums up the
fertility problem of the market grow
er in the following:
while we have pinned our faith to
the use of stable manure In producing
good crops, green manurial crops are
gradually taking the place of stable
manures. 1t is fortunate that we are
able to maintain in this manner the
supply of soil organic matter Let us
remember some essentials in the sue
cessful use of green manures. They
might be given as follows:
Il. Soil adaptation. We should be
careful to select the right crop for the
soil under cultivation, which also fits
properly into the system of cropping.
"2. Use beuntiful supply of seed.
'3. Use sufficient commercial fer
tilizer to insure heavy growth.
Il. Sow in ample time, especially in
the fall of the year, so that the crop
will get good start before winter.
"5. Take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to grow a manurial crop"

member Of the American Legion Hospi-
talization committee "Of course there
are such men among those who apply
for relief. But you will find them
everywhere; in business, in colleges,
in politics and even in the churches"
Doctor Salmon, in his plea for COM
plete and efficient care Of the disabled
men, answers the assertion that there
are 5000 empty beds in the govern
ment hospitals. He explains that
beds alone cannot cure the disabled
and besides, he says. most Of the 5000
empty beds are needed to constitute
the reserve that every hospital with
an active service needs.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon league. So far as
congress is concerned, Wheeler is the

Lightning Rod Points.

Farmers Bulletin $40 from
the Ohio experiment station
gives the following advice fer
the installation of lightning
rods:
Conductors should be installed
in as straight runs as possible.
Where bends are necessary, use
curves OF at least one foot ra-
dius.
Rods are best secured to the
building by the single piece
screw fasteners.
Aeriais should be spaced
along the rods.
