Proposed legislation exempting Amer
lean ships from the payment of Pan
anna canal tolls is destined to stir up
a big ruction at Washington in which
President Harding is expected to take
hand at an early date.
The senate committee on interocean
ic canals, of which Senator Borah is
chairman, is scheduled to begin con-
sideration this week of the Borah bill,
exempting American coastwise ships,
and of the Jones and Poindexter bills,
exempting ali American ships from
canal charges.
. The Republicans national platform
last year for the first time declared
for toll exemption for all American
ships, but Senator Borah thinks that
in view Of the opposition it will be cas-
Ter to put through a bill applying to
ooastwise ships only.
Free tolls were Endorsed in the
Democrats platform of 1912, but re-
pudiated in 1914 by President Will

Dreams

When l sit alone and dream
l dream only Of you;
Of the days of childhood,
And things we used to do.
But dreams only last awhile
And seldom come true,
But l wish that dreams,
Would carry me back to you
Dreaming of childhood
When you know only of good,
Thoughts that laden hours
Dreams that have great powers
Will fairy ever come to me;
And tell me dreams come true?
! hope they will, and bring me bacl

Where There Is One Breed in Com.
munity II Is Easier to Dispose Of
the Surplus Stock.
A market is established which, be-
cause Of the availability of large num-
bers Of animals, attracts those who buy
large consignments. Under such cir
cumstances all surplus stock may be
disposed Of to better advantage, and
cooperative advertising also may be
used effectively. In addition, bulls
may be bought comparatively or ex-
changed with facility, thus very mate.

the herd. ~,
Any necessary additions to the herd
can he obtained, without expense for
travel, from neighbors' herds with
whose history the buyer Is thoroughly
familiar. These advantages apply not
only to the breeder Of purebred cattle.
but also to the owners Of grades. ";
In this country there is a very wide
range Of conditions, as to both to.
biography and climate. On rich, level
pastures all breeds thrive, but on
rough, billy land, where pasturage is
scant, they do not show equal adapt
ability. In the extreme cold Of the
North, with Its long winters, different
resisting qualities are needed as CON-
pared with the almost tropical heat in
the southern parts Of the country.
In the United States four breeds Of
dairy cattle have attained consider.
able prominence, namely the Ayrshire,
Guernsey, Holstein-F riesian and Jer-
sey. These breeds have been devel-
oped carefully for long time for the
purpose Of dairy production, and In
consequence each transmits its char
acteristics with regularity to its of.

tlnguish each breed from the others,
but all possess ability as milk pro-
ducers. There is, Of course, consider
able variation in the characteristics
