be made in the treasury estimate
of $4,675, 600, 900 needed for the
government next year as that
included $545, 100000 for the
railroads.
Chairman Fordney also ex-
planned the new tax levy would
be designed to run for a number
of years and the rates should
not be fixed for such a length Of
time on conditions believed now
to be only temporary. He
thought there should be imme-
date reductions of half a bill
lion or more in taxes, even
though that brought about q
deficit at the end of next year.
This could be wiped out, he
added, by revenues after ex-
penditures had been returned to
something more like normal.
Representative Longworth. Re-
publican, Ohio, said that while
there might be good arguments
both for and against the new
taxes suggested by Mr.. Mellon,
he thought the time had come
to reduce taxes rather than seek
out new sources.

wOMEN's COUNCIL NOTES.

Worthy of notice is the i'm.
provement in the appearance oi
the neutral ground along upper
Main Street. due to the efforts
Of the Women's Council and
the civic pride of the residents
of this part of New Iberia.
A few months since a COM
mittce of four ladies made a
house to house canvass and
found that the property owners
and renters were with a few ex-
ceptions, willing to be taxed for
the upkeep of the grounds for
four months realizing that the
fee of twenty-five cents a month
was quite small for the service.
The results have been so good
and the appearance along the
driveway has elected SO many
favorable comments that, as the
present contract expires on
August the fifteenth the ladies
feel encouraged to call again
upon these same residents 10
ask contribution for another
dollar to continue the good work
for the next four months.

ton of warships and terminate all military
preparations.
Observers ask the American people not to-
expect too much from the conference, but to be-
satisfied if only beginning is made toward a.
disarmament program which eventually will
solve that perplexing problem. American Off
Gals fear that the people are little too optinl-
istic about the results of the conference and
consequently may be disappointed if their full
expectations are not realized.
Washington knows full well the general senti-
nent of the people on the problems of curtailing
the enormous expenditures of war, but it also is
sensible enough to know that if a complete dis
armament project were sprung at the confer
ence the representatives of Great Britain
France and Japan would quickly pick up their
hats and go home,
The representatives of the invited powers
also apprised of the sentiment of their people
against increasing costs of the military and
naval establishments, but they are forced to &C
cept realities and to go slow in reaching the
desired end.
The United States cannot emerge from this
conference as the only nation which will abandon
its defenses and cease its preparations for fu-
ture war. That would be suicidal.
If the conference can reach an agreement on
a number of important problems pertaining to
disarmament, and if basis can be laid for the
eventual reduction of the costs of the war ma
chine, the conference will have performed a
monumental service for humanity. The way for
further conferences, in which other difficulties
now besetting disarmament can be discussed
will be open.
All the nations will welcome plan to curtail
military expenditures, but it is expecting much
unless a miracle happens, to believe that com
plete disarmament will follow the Washington
| conference.
With the united demand of the people of the
world supporting the disarmament movement
the first step toward the contamination of that
ideal will be taken at Washington but the fina
attainment probably will be a matter of the
i future

visit to the Pyramids.
The Englishman was lost in admir-

My heart is sore and heavy now, I'm
feeling far from gay; for I am think

All, black and bitter is my mood, ana
small relief l find in saying that the
COW was stewed, or had a feeble mind.
The man who has a motor car, the
which he tries to steer, should scan
the highway near and far, and see that
all is clear. But l was rubbering
around, as drivers often do: | did not
gaze upon the ground, or keep the
curves in view. My thoughts from

shining peaks of song. The COW ap-
peared upon the pike, ahead, a rod or
perch, and oh, the impact then was
like the falling of a church. The IN.
dertakers found it hard through all
the wreck to pillow and harder yet to
tell the bard from motor car or COW
The COW is planted in the earth, be
meath a cairn of stones; the owner
tells me she was worth at least five

Hospital Tag Day

Reid Memorial hospital is an indispensable
institution in Wayne and adjacent counties 1t
has proved its worth for many years and in
thousands of instances.
Annually the Ladies' Aid society, which per-
forms many acts of service for the institution,
conducts tag day to obtain funds for the work
which it does.
The public has responded to this appeal with
increasing generosity that bespeaks both an in
telligent understanding of what hospital means
to a community and sincere desire to supply
the society with the funds which it needs.
This year the appeal was no less urgent than
in former years. The small sums of money which
are paid for the tags mean little to the donors,
but in the aggregate they supply the money with
which many articles for the upkeep of the insti-
tuition are provided
A willingness to help this year was appre-
ciated as fully by the members of the society as
it had been in the past, and the donors will have
the satisfaction Of knowing that they have
shown personal interest in an institution OF
mercy.

The New Parliament Building
BY FREDERIC ]. HAskIN

the story is completed by a carving of
a vicious looking goat-the Kaiser's.
The carvings about the building are
full of interest. There are numberless
heads about the size of a small cannon
ball in the ornamentation of arches,
windows, and pillars. Some are weird
grotesques, gryphons and gargoyles.
Others are human heads. One of the
stone cutters is said to have immortal
lied his own features in one. and a
good many are caricatures of the lead
ing statesmen of Canada A Cabinet
officer or NJ. P. of Canada is represent
ed by some distinguished feature, as
we recognize the Roosevelt smile, and
the Lodge whiskers. So, these little
stone heads are a source of delight to
Canadians who see their celebrities in
the stone. Laurier in the suggestion
of a prominent nose, Borden in a curl
ing mustache.
The most important rooms of the
building are the meeting rooms for

OHIO WHEAT ACREAGE
EXPECTED To Be CUT

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. From pres
ent indications there will be a moder-
ate decrease in the acreage sown to
wheat this fall though there is no
reason TO suppose that the cutting
down in acreage will be very extern
sive A number of reasons may be
assigned.
The low yields Of the present year
has doubtless discouraged some farm
ers from sowing wheat. Prices for
wheat are not attractive to farmers
so that there may be more than the
usual number who will let the ground
lie until spring to be sown in oats.
Farm wages have fallen consider
ably though farmers generally con-
slider rates too high in comparison
with the prices they are receiving for
their products and this has some in
f1uence in restricting the acreage sown
to wheat The price which the farmer
is paying for fertilizer is one reason
assigned for the decreased interest in
| wheat, according 10 reports received
by c. ]. West, state federal asricul-
tural statistician.
Corn cutting is virtually completed
| throughout the state. The damage
from chinch bugs is severe in some
sections. Cribbing of corn has already
| begun in part of the state and will
be generally from two to three weeks
| earlier than usual

Niscount Shibusawa needs no intro
duction to the American public. In
past years he has rendered many ser
vices both to his government and to
those who have been associated with
him in business by his activities in
New York. His f1otation of the Jap
anee war loan in Wall Street in 1905
is regarded by all who are conversant
with the details of the situation as a
great achievement, and in Japan it is
regarded as an important contributing
factor to the great victories over Rus

second to the valor of the Japanese
soldiers and the technical preparation
of the officers who led them.

Two letters praising the enterprise
and cooperative spirit shown by
Richmond business men were re-
ceived, one from the Indianapolis
Trade association and the other from

former letter expressed the gratitude
of the Indianapolis tradesmen for the
hospitality shown them while in this
city. The letter from Green's Fork
expressed thanks for the support ac-
corded the festival in that town by
Richmond people. The citizens OF
Green's Fork extended to Richmond
citizens and boosters gratitude and ap
probation for the generous donations
and boosting of their fall festival.
