BEAUTIFUL JUNE.

Beautiful season, 90 fresh and so fair, Beautiful flowers, 90 rich and 80 rare, Beantiful birds are now singing so soon, Beautiful sunshine is smiling in June, Beautiful beautiful beautiful June, Summer has come again, beautiful June. Clouds that are sailing far up in the sky Sprinkle the landscape with dews from on high.
 Making the buds and the blossoms te
 grow,
 shOwering blessings wherever they gs Sing to the Giver of sunshine and rain Sing the best carols again and again, Join with the numberless voices in tune Prases to Jesus in beautiful June.

changes in the lineup in the house on
emergency tariff legislation since the

were revealed yesterday during general
debate on the Young emergency bill, which
includes anti-dumping and foreign eX-
change provisions.
For five and a half hours the debate
proceeded yesterday and was marked by
a dramatic contribution on the part of
Bourke Cochran. Democrat. New York, a
congress. Asserting that danger lies
ahead in a policy of attempting to cure
all the cOuntry'S ills by legislation, Mr.
Cochran predicted long lines of famish-
ing men and women in front of soup

when those lines do FORM as they surely
will, they will not stand in silent sub

Believed House Will Refuse to Revive
Taft Proposal to Canada.

WASHINGTON, April l5-Suggestion
that reciprocal trade agreement be ne
gotated with Canada along the lines
of the Taft proposal of 1911 is consid-
cred highly improbable by Republican
leaders who commented informally last
night on the resolution to that effect
introduced yesterday in the house of
commons at ottawa only to be defeated.
Instead of listening to any propos
ais for vitalzing the reciprocity treaty
negotiated by Mr. Taft, leaders. said
it was probable that congress would
early take steps to make such an ar
rangement impossible.
