Washington, March 24.--The sol-

senate after a triumphant $50 to 70
passage in the house, and must have
action in the upper body or the DEM
ocrats will try embarrassing tactics
against the Republicans. Arrival Of
the bill in the senate will be signal
for action. The Republicans will be
asked pertinent questions by, Senator
Harrison, Mississippi, Democrat. Har-
rison's questions will include:
I Is this bill to lie smothered in thd
committee until next year?
Does the committee honestly in@
tend to get action or will there be-
only camouflage?
Harrison wishes either to compel
action at this session or give the
Democrats campaign material on
which to accuse the Republicans of
delay and insincerity. The bill has
now become rather nonpartisan
measure. Chairman McCumber in
sists the senate pass the bill without
radical alterations, - {. ",

Congress Goes to Aid
Of Agricultural Industry
List of More Important Measures Written,
Introduced and Passed by Republicans
To Assist Farmers During Crisis
U. 8. REPRESENTATIVE }. y. TI>CHER (KAN-
sAs), MEMBER HOUSE COMMITTEE ON
AGRICULTURE

Farmers Of the United States not
only comprise the largest single class
of producers but they are the largest
single class of consumers of finished
products of all kinds, and the largest
class of shippers. In view OF all
this, it is essential, in order that the
country as whole be prosperous, that
the farmer as class be prosperous.
When the Republican Party came
into power in March, 1921, the agricul-
tural sections of the country were in
the midst Of the greatest depression
they had ever experienced.
In response to general demand
from the agricultural interests the Re-
publican Congress, on May q. 1921, 40
days after the session convened, en-
acted the Emergency. or Farmers
Tariff. This stopped at once the influx
OF agricultural imports and saved to
the American farm producer his home
markets.
The best proof that the tariff really
protects the American farmer is the
fact that since its operation Canada
has renewed her efforts to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty that will admit her
agricultural products into this country
free AS further proof Of the effect
iveness of this tariff 1t was renewed
November Is. 1921. by the solid vote
of the congressman representing the
agricultural States. The enactment
OF this tariff was opposed by the solid
Democratic minority in both House
and Senate, with few notable excep-
tons.
For more than q quarter of a cen
fury there has been demand from the
producers and consumers for control
OF the packing and allied industries.
Responsive to this demand Congress
enacted such law. 1t cannot be gain.
said that the livestock industry of the
United States has had better treatment
from the very day that this law began
to operate. This bill was drawn by
Republicans. introduced in both
branches of Congress by Republicans.
and passed by both branches OF Con-
gress controlled by Republicans.
For more than 20 years there has
been pending before Congress. in one
form or another, legislation to control
grain Exchanges and to stop the manip-
ulation OF prices of farm products.
Such law has been enacted by this
Republican congress. Like the pack.

complete array of Easter lilies and
| flowers. and the design of which
was purchased by Mrs. Grigggs
class of girls. The design covered
the entire front of the church
wall representing a large cross
with lilies resting beside it. Many
expressed themselves that they
had never seen more beautiful
and fitting design of decoration.
This class and teacher deserve
much credit for their. effort to
make the church speak out its full
Easter message.
The week preceding Easter was
1.-THE week and when the tithes
were counted Sunday night the
offering was more than $50 90.
Such an cffenng means much now
and viii make many glad hearts.
In some churches it is burden
for the pastor to ask for a collec-
tion but with our church at Philip
it is and has always been a pleas
ure and happy moment when we
could offer our little investment
in Gods cause. An offering for
the cause of our other brother last
November was almost a hundred
dollars and our Easter Offering
now speaks we'll for our loyal
folks. We firmly believe that if
this faithful attitude continues,
there will be a definite work done
not only with finances but also
in the building up OF character
and wholesome lives We are pray
ing for a revival where hearts will
be touched with the divine impulse
and impression shall be made that
will be lasting and forceful enough
to fix the motives in the right dir
ecton once and forever.

death as a result of a gunshot

fact that he had been in poor
health for some time.
Richardson was d man between
forty and fifty years of age and

comfortable circumstance and it

SeaQuII and Golf.

Every golfer knows the story Of the
Sussex man who was put off his play
by the ships passing up and down the
English channel. but there are other
dangers than ships to game Oh the
seashore. Seagulls, to wit. just as a
bah WAS being Clipped OH the green
at Port Erin, Isle OF Man, seagull
swooped down, seized The stationary
ball and carried 1t off. After flying
for about hundred yards the bird
dropped the ball, but at once recovered
1t, flew another hundred yards and
dropped 1t again. Then the player
came into his own. There was II pro
blem that might have served as IA
summertime subject for newspaper
correspondence, for while one player
argued that the ball should be played
where 1t was dropped, another con
tended that as it had been displaced
by an agency outside the game, it
should be replaced where it originally
lay. This was done, but there should
be definite ruling on the point. Sea
gull golf which may do for Mainland
may not do for all the golfing world.

| er control law, it was written by Re
publicans, introduced by Republican
and passed by Republican majorities
One of the immediate and urgent
needs OF the farming communities was
credit to tide them over their imme
date crisis. In order to furnish this
credit the Republican Congress amend
ed the War Finance Corporation Act
SO as to enable that organization to
have revolving fund of $1,000 600.
600 to be used exclusively in making
loans to livestock and agricultural in
/ terests. Since that body began func
| tioning under its newly acquired pow
ers it has been loanng money 10 the
agricultural and livestock interests OF
the United States at rate in excess
OF $1.000.000 day.
One of the earliest acts of this Con
gress was the appropriation of $4,000.
900 to be used in the purchase OF seed
for the drought-stricken farmers of the
northwest Since that time legislation
and appropriations have been made to
assist ought-stricken farmers in
other sections Of the country, and also
to relieve the settlers upon reclama
ton and irrigation projects.
Still another act of this Congress
was the increase OF the available cap
, ital Of the Farm Loan Banks in the
sum of $25.000.000, giving the Farm
Loan Banks a total revolving fund OF
! $1,000. 900. This bill was written BY
Republicans, introduced by Republi
cans. and passed by Republican major
tiles in both branches of Congress.
! Modern methods in the commercial
world have demonstrated the neces.
sity of the farmers being permitted to
sell his crops under a cooperative sys
/ tenn, and that this might be done legal
| y and without interference or irrita
/ ton, the present Congress enacted the
| Co operative Marketing Bill This is
another bill written by Republicans
introduced in both branches OF Con
gress by Republicans and passed by
Republican maJorities.
Honorable Henry C. Wallace, Score
tary OF Agriculture, truly summed IL
up when he said:
! Never In the same length of time
| did Congress give more serious atten
ton to farm needs. All OF the legisla
ton is OF constructive character and
will be more helpful than is now
realized.
