HOUSE ..DRYS" BURY HILL
AMENDMENTS.

Friends of prohibition, in COM
plete control in the House, made a
clean sweep on Friday in knocking
out amendments to the prohibition
section of the Treasury supply bill,
which they claimed were designed
to weaken enforcement of the Vol
stead law.
Standing alone at times, Repre-
sentative Hill, Maryland's wet Don
Quixote, sought to limit the money
spending activities of the prohibition
unit, but his proposals were thrown
out bodily after 80 minutes of bitter
debate in which the manner of the
laws enforcement was commended
and condemned Numerous refer
ences were made to the annual ad-
dress to Congress, delivered earlier
in the day by President Harding,
and there was vigorous applause
when members recalled that the
President had said the Eighteenth
Amendment is here to stay
The bill stood like stone wall
against attacks by Mr.. Hill's wet
group, which often included only
himself.
The largest vote against the pro-
hibition group was seven, that NUM-
Der of members supporting an
amendment by Representative Tink-
ham, Republican. Of Massachusetts,
providing that men employed in en-
forcement work should be appointed
from the Civil Service, against Sc in
opposition.
Representative Tincher of Kansas
| declared the Hill amendments were
in keeping with the attitude of those
who had attempted to defeat prohi-
bition enforcement. He said he did
not know why Mr.. Hill should OBJ
ject If the Ku Klux Khan. tried to
suppress moonshining.
Characterizing Mr.. Hill as the
minister plenipotentiary of the AS
ISOLATION Opposed to Prohibition,
Representative Cramton of Michigan
declared the Maryland Representa-
tive was helping the organization in
an effort to nullify the Eighteenth
Amendment by hamstringing the
enforcement unit. Mr.. Cramton as
serted that the fight had been
brought to the House on the heels
of "the splendid appeal Of the Presi-
dent" and Mr.. Hill interjected that
while in the Senate Mr.. Harding had
stated that the American people had
the right to repeal any law.
ANY association has the right to
attempt to repeal law" Mr.. Cram
ton shot back, .but so long as that
law remains in effect, it is the duty
of every American to strive to make
it effective"
The only purpose sought by the
association, Mr.. Cramton went on.
was not to repeal the Volstead law,
but to destroy it by indirection.
Taking issues with statements that
the prohibition forces had suffered
House losses in the November cleo
ton. Mr.. Cramton said that out of
the eighty Republican seats lost, the
net "dry" loss was only nine.

"WORN-OUT" FARM AVERAGES
so BUSHELS OF CORN.

The following results are report
ed at the Snowden farm near Laurel,
Maryland. In 1912, the maximum
yields were 20 bushels of shelled
corn and II bushels Of wheat pei
acre. The last wheat crop averaged
81 bushels and the corn crop just
harvested averaged about so bush
els per acre. A corn, wheat, clover
grass rotation is used, as follows:
1st Year (Spring) Corn on land
receiving six tons manure and 500
lbs. concentrated lime per acre in
preceding fall.
LIST Year (Fall) 300 lbs. fertl-
lizer applied per acre and wheat
seeded.
End Year-Wheat stubble fallow-
ed in July and 800 lbs. fertilizer ap-
piled. A "per-acre" mixture of six
lbs. timothy, four lbs. clover, and
two lbs. alfalfa seeded.
3rd and 4th Year-Grass cut for
hay. Field pastured in fall of
fourth year.
When the Improvement of the
farm was begun in 1912, few of the
fields were in condition for cropping.
In order to get them in shape, this
preparatory treatment preceded the
rotation:
Fall-Rye seeded with 800 lbs.
fertilizer per acre.
Spring-Plowed rye in. Applied
500 lbs. concentrated lime and
planted cowpeas with 800 lbs. acid
phosphate per acre.

of heat is required in the operation Of
these kIlns than in most any other In
dustrlal process.
Like Looking at SUM-"
Where the materials enter the kiln
the temperature is approximately 1000
degrees Fahrenheit. By the time the
powdered material has completed its
three-hour journey through the l25
feet or more of hrlck-lined furnace"
the heat has reached anywhere from
$500 to 1900 degrees Fahrenheit.
The workman watching through his
peephole in the end of the kiln must
wear smoked glasses. 1t is like look
ing at the sun. In a large plant doz-
en- or more of these kilns roar and re-
volve side by side In one great room.
Estimating a single kiln's output at %
barrels an hour, 1t would mean that
nearly 5000 pounds of pulverized coal
had been blown into 1t to provide the
tremendous heat necessary. 1t requires
200 pounds Of this specially prepared
coal to manufacture single barrel OF
cement weighing 376 pounds.

GOVERNMENT OWNED, RAIL.
ROAD IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Governor General Wood has been
squarely defeated by the Filipino
leaders in his effort to lease the
government-owned and operated
Manila Railroad Company.
Whatever the success or failure
of government-owned railways in
other countries, in the Philippine
Islands government ownership is q
success. The Manila Railroad, 764
miles in length, has paid a nice
profit over five-year period. The
net profits for the first six months Of
1922 amounted to $726,6S4.
Notwithstanding this fact, Cover
nor Wood has carried on a persist
emit campaign to lease the Philippine
government-owned road to New
York capitalists. He had even gone
SO far as to draw up the papers for
the deal, and the Associated Press
carried dispatch to the effect the
road had already been leased.
The Filipino leaders, who are
proud of the success of the road, be-
lieving its record is an evidence OF
the efficiency and honesty of the
Z Philippine government, promptly
went to the mat with Governor
Wood over the question. They
might be willing to compromise with
the chief executive on some ques-
tions Of policy, but here was a mat
ter wherein they be1ived they were
right, and, backed by strong public
sentiment, they fought the Governor
General to standstill. And they
won.
Governor General Wood cannot
now force the leasing or the sale OF
the Manila Railroad without abso-
lutely running himself so far as any
popularity with the masses Of ths
Filipino people is concerned.

Since the government has beer

President Harding in his message
to Congress ON Friday last, gave the
"wets'' a bad jolt by getting square
ly behind the Prohibition Amend
ment. The vets had been loud in
their claims that the President was
out of sympathy with the Volstead
law, had noted change of senti-
ment, etc., but he has put the wet
contingent completely to rout by
coming out in his message as favor
ing a rigorous enforcement of the
volstead act. He frankly says the
provisions of the law are not in his
opinion contrary to public desire,
He predicts that repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment is not likely
and asks for literal enforcement. :"
Besides. Mr.. Harding announces that
he will call the Governors of all the
States into conference to consider
ways. and means of enforcing the
prohibition laws through the in
creased use of State machinery.
The message has brought Joy to
the drys aud corresponding gloom
to the vets. 1t is further interpre-
tered as the President wanting the
Republican party to stand pat on
the prohibition issue, believing pub
lie sentiment to be ON that side.

who begged for mercy when the
