gress and expended out Of the treas
ury is so well protected and safe
guarded as the money appropriated
for rivers and harbors.
1t will be borne in mind that the
engineers are officers in the United
States army They hold life posi-
tons, subject TO good behavior They
aie not subject 10 any wire pulling
or hauling or political influence.
They do not hold Il cir positions at
the instance Of any member of the
house or senate, or under any con-
dItlons that make them subject to
any sort Of influence. Their bust
ness is to determine the merit Of
each proposal from the standpoint of
the government. If we reduce the
appropriation from $56,0O0,O0O to
S2I,O00,000 we cannot 90 on with
the work on these approved prJjc Is
in any orderly, economical or proper
way. We may take care Of the main
tenance provisions, but we cannot go
on regularly with the Improvement.
Those who are proposing this re-
duction are against this sort Of ex-
penditure. They have been all
along; but / take it they will not I'M
dertake to reverse the policy of this
government, which has been in effect
for a hundred years, that the obi
cation and duty Of the government
is to take care of these highways Of
commerce over which the govern
ment has jurisdiction. The states
cannot do it, individuals cannot do
it, because these are navigable wa
ters under the control and jurisdic-
ton of the federal government. Now
it is proposed to reduce this expendi-
ture to an amount which will be IN
effective, and will not carry out the
policy which has been adopted by
congress, and which can only be put
into effect by certain expenditures

made here in the house bill. Those
who propose to reduce it will cripple
the whole work, so that we had al
most as well not make any attempt
to carry it on"
1t is reported in the press that
while the president will approve the
bill, he will direct that not more than
$27, 100000 Of the $56,000,00O be
expended during the next fiscal year
for the completion and maintenance
of the river and harbor projects here

MARGIN OF PROFIT
TO PROCUC EC0TT0N
Farmers Must Be Guaranteed
Something Above Cost, Says
Georgia Aggie Commissioner

ATLANTA, Feb. 26.-Eow cotton
prices within the past ten or fifteen
years have impoverished the farmers
Of the south to the extent that they
have been forced to sell the timbers
on their farms, virtually exhaust
their natural resources and mort
gage Their farms, according to
statement by Commissioner of Agri-
culture ]. J. Brown, after the close
of the boil weevil conference here
the past week.
If you will give the farmers a
margin of profit over the cost of pro-
duction, they will raise cotton de
spite the ravages of the boil weevil.
But, with the prevailing prices, which
are scarcely higher than before the
past made its entrance into this sec
ton, the farmers are unable to deter
mine whether or not they can pro-
duce cotton.
III IOWSNCI, lliCJ NS'lA ~ 3 N'th' Ni'
teed price for their cotton which
will give them margin of profit over
their production cost, they will pro
duce the staple. The cost Of produc-
ing the staple now is many times
what it was several years ago, and
the farmers cannot afford to waste
efforts and their time in fight IN
which it seems that they are not be-
ing benefited.
IF the world wishes the south to
produce her cotton, the world must
guarantee the south a price for the
staple that will assure the producers
of a profit. 1t is needless for the
world to ask the south for cotton with
which to clothe its people when the
women and children of the southern
farmers are shivering in the WIN
try blasts"

DEFENSE BY FLETCHER
TO IMPROVE HAR30R
PROJECTS Of COUNTRY
War Department Appropriation
Carrying $56,OOO,OOO Given
His Full Approval
HIS SPEECH IN SENATE
Harding May Approve Bill, But
kxected To Reserve Sum For
Old Projects On Hand

WASHINGTON, Feb. &c. - The
senate and the house have approved
the annual war department appro-
prlation bill and it is now before
the president for final approval II.
GUIDED IN the bill is an appropriation
Of 56,000,0O0 recommended bv the
chief OF engineers for the improve
ment and maintenance Of river and
harbor projects heretofore adoDted
by congress, representing an increase
OF S29,O0Q,000 over the estimates
BY the director of the bureau of
budget or thu next fiscal year
During the debate in the senate
this proposed increase was vigorous
~ attacked and opposed by senators
some Of whom went so far as to ac.
cuse their colleagues of sponsoring
pork barrel legislation.
Senator Fletcher, of Florida. in
an able defence of the proposed in
crease, cited in detail the report and
recommendations Of the chief of
engineers and the hearings on the
bill before the senate committee on
commerce, of which he is the rank.
ing democratic member, and showed
the need for the completion and
maintenance of existing projects,
and the ultimate economy of follow
ing that course. He stated that for
the period of one hundred years
during which the government has
been improving the rivers and har.
bors of the country congress has
never, with possibly one exception,
adopted project not favorably re-
ported by the board of engineers for
rivers and harbors, which is charged
with the duty Of carrying on the
work-from the preliminary exami.
nations and surveys to the compile
ton and maintenance of all projects
adopted.
In the course Of his argument in
defense Of the proposed increased
appropriations, Senator Fletcher
said;
IN my Judgment, Mr. President,
no money is expended out of the
treasury of the United States for
any purpose that is so thoroughly
safeguarded as the money we expend
on rivers and harbors. You may call
it pork Darrell" you may try 10
discredit it; you may call it a trad
ing proposition, or what you may,
but there is absolutely no instance
where money appropriated by con-

Recognized As
A Wonderful
Tonic

Reports coming from thou
sands of cases all point to the
fact that DR.. Thacher's Liver
and Blood Syrup, in addition to
it's remarkable powers for bring
ing relief to sufferers from spe-
cific troubles of the liver, stom-
ach and bowels, is without doubt
one of the best and ost depend
able of general tonics.
This fact is Of exceptionable in
terest to the many people who are not
sick exactly, but many times feel the
great need of building themselves up
and regaining their old-time energy.
To those who feel all let down and
tagged out, who get up in the morn
ing feeling dull and heavy; whose skin
is sallow and pale; whose minds are
dull and who lack ambition to accom-
plish their desires this excellent RENE
dy will come as an inspiration to re-
newed life and activity.
The strengthening and invigorating
effects of DR.. TEACHERS prescription
are quickly Noticeable, it is said. The
body is radiant with the ruddy glow
of health. the mind becomes alert and
active again, the sparkle. returns to
the eyes, the spring to the step and
the color to the cheeks. There comes
new life, new energy and new feeling
of ability to do things before thought
impossible.

Now Maryland, my Maryland, won't
figure long on size
But when it comes to quality, she'll
stretch clear to the skies,
Maybe you don't believe it, Well lis
ten We'll relate
The wonders and the glories of oul
big, little State.
The Chesapeake divides US in two un-
equal parts,
can't divide our hearts.
We join in one grand chorus, Eastern
and Western Shore
Maryland. my Maryland, we love you
more and more.
Our governor, for looks, has all the
others skinned a mile
In matters educational our chief Cook,
sets the style,
He's strong for teachers standards,
and teachers salaries too,
He plans his laws and makes them,
and then he puts them thru.
Our quaint old city Baltimore has a
charming quality
Unmatched, the N. Y. Times says, so
we of course agree
That county too, you know it, Balti-
more by name,
Supervision, course of study have
spread abroad is fame.
Below old Fort McHenry our national
flag was born
Our national flag at Frederick upon
the world did dawn,
And from our very body we severed
out part
To be our nations capitol, its own big
throbbing heart.
There's much to see in Maryland:-
We'll let you choose at will,
We've mountains, rolling lands and
plains, rivers, ocean, bay and
rill
Historic spots We boast too, and great
ones gone before
Poets, artists, "signers," jurors, oh
we have them all galore.
But when it comes to eats-O Boy
now listen we'll and mark oul
spread.
Our Maryland hospitality always Civ
es more than you need,
Oysters, crabs and diamond backs in
Maryland make their home,
Fried chicken and beat biscuit makes
US thither want to roam.
We've everything in Maryland, thai
elsewhere you can get,
Even, so Dame Rumor says, some.
thing that is wet!
Oh, Maryland, my Maryland, we love
you more and more,
Well make your praises echo from
shore to shining shore.
