Free Seeds Again.
Agricultural Appropriation
Bill Passed By Congress.

As had been forcasted, free gar
den seeds" were put back into the
Agricultural Appropriation bill, and
next year $500, 200 will be expended
for the distribution of garden and
flower seed by members of Congress,
who send out the little packages un-
der their franks.
The free-seed item was about killed
this time. In the House it lost once
on a tie vote, but by parliamentary
maneuvering the seed brigades brot
reconsideration, and when the rural
members were all hustled into the
chamber the appropriation carried
on a roll-call by a majority of 20.
The antisecdites are creeping up on
the seed enemy year by year and
soon it will 60.
Weeping for the farmer and his
barren flower yards and vegetable
patches, the advocates of free seed
INDUCED in lmpassioned oratory dur
ing the debates. Opponents of the
bill denounced the 4O-ycar-old prac-
tice of distributing seed as Il waslcful
one, contending the seed didn't come
up half the time, and if they did
come up they cost the Government
five times their worth. The pro-scc,i
men used such telling phrases as:
Have we forgotten the farmer,
who tills his poor land in the dawn
and after dusk?" "Will we see his
little children 60 hungry" while
there is starvation throughout the
the world, will you appropriate for
battleships and not for free seed?"
Would you not beautify the far
mer's humble home by giving him a
chance to grow Il flower garden?"
Since when have we, grown so great
that we forget the man who tolls on
the hillsides and produces the food
to feed the world?"
After such as that. it was all over
except the voting-Sun.

absolve their tardy messengers from
payment of 81, 200 penalty provld-
cd by law in case an official mcssen-
ger fails to get the vote here in time.
The six Grant States were Maryland,
North Carolina, Indiana, Utah, New
ada and Oregon. Ignorance OF the
law requiring specific date OF delivery
appears to have been responsible for
the slip-up. For instance, the Ore
gon messenger understood it would
be alright if he arrived here before
the Inauguration and had planned a
leisurely journey across the continent
and to stay here, for the inaugural.
The Maryland messenger said he had
received bad advice and understood
that he had until February 8 to cross
the District of Columbia line and de-
post the returns of the State nearest
to the capital.
The Smoot resolution takes care OF
these out-of-luck messengers, provid-
ed their returns shall have been de-
livered by January 81, and as soon
as he learned of these fews days of
grace the Oregon man started across
continent on fast train.

PEAK WHERE NOAH LANDED
Mount Ararat, in Northwestern Per-
sla, Is Now Part Of Recently
Created "Buffer" State.

Youthful students of sacred history,
near East. will find in the extreme
northwestern part of Persia q noun
tain peak marked Mount Ararat. That
should give them fine starting point,
for they will remember that 1t was on
Mount Ararat that Noah, in the Bib
lical account landed. Mount Ararat
is the loftiest peak in Azerbaidian.
1900 feet above sea level. but IF they
have neglected news from Europe
they may not know that AZerbaidjan
is new republic established by the
political strife in eastern Europe in
the expectation that 1t will act as
political and military buffer for some
Of the great nations.
The inhabitants of Azerbaidjan are
Persians, ArmenIans. Kurds. Tartar
Turks and Arabs, whose valleys are
veritable garden spots. 1t ranks In
statistics as one of the most prOduc-
tive spots I'm all Persia, but young
readers will find their chief interest in
the fact that it contains Mount Ara
rat, which gave Noah his first shelter,
according to the accepted narrative.
The erection of Azerbaidjan as buff
fer state brings the remote past and
the immediate present together in
way which may also awaken the in
terest of those who have moved past
the years of youthful curiosity.-Pitts-

SUGGESTIONS OF THE PAST
Peculiar Beliefs That Not So Very
Many Years Ago Had Almost Uni
versal Credence.

A reader furnishes us with list
Of old SuperStitiOns which were part
OF our folk lore In this part of the
country before we had to have folk
lore societies to preserve this sort OF
thing:
A rooster Growing at the front door
meant visitor coming.
A twig catching young lady's dress
meant beau.
An itching ear meant that some one
was talking about you.
To turn back after starting meant
bad luck.
Opening an umbrella in the house
meant bad luck to the house.
measuring worm on woman's
frock meant new dress.
An itching left hand meant that you
would marry soon.
An itching right hand meant that
you would shake hands with a strang-
err.
Seeing the new moon over the left
shoulder meant one would soon get
money.
Probably most of us are supersti-
tiUuS a., ut the number 13. just as peO-
pie wcrr long time ago. Our own
superstitions will amuse subsequent
generation. as those recalled by our
reader amuse us. Only a subsequent
generation can safely laugh at super
