POET FOND OF ODD PETS
Rossetti Said to Have Lavished Affec-
ton on All Sorts of Birds and
Animals.

Among the eccentricities of Dante
Gabrielle Rossetti was his passion for
strange pets. Many a queer 'beastie"
was to be found in his London home
in Cheyne walk. His brother, in his
Memoirs" says that Dante Gabriel
had no liking for an animal on account
Of it's beauty, but that he preferred
rather the quaint, odd, or grotesque.
His pets were strangely various.
There were dogs, owls, rabbits, door
mice, hedgehogs, wombats, armadillos,
kangaroos, wallabies, deer, white
mouse with her brood, rafoon, squir-
rels, mole. raven, jackdaw,
laughing jackasses, parrot, pea
cock, -chamefeons. green lizards, and
Japanese salamanders. The animals
upon which the poet spent his warm
est affections were wombat and a
woodchuck. He would sit with these
fat, lumpish quadrupeds In his arms
by the hour, dandling them, gently
scratching at their cheeks or noses,
or making the woodchuck's head and
hind paws meet Each of them was
his housemate for time, and each
expired without warning.

LARGER IMMIGRANT
QUOTA BEING URGED
BIG INDUSTRIES JOIN IN DRIVE
ON CONGRESS.
COMMON LABOR is SHORT
Manufacturers Submit Several REQ
concentrations in Order That Spe-
ciaI Glasses of Workers May
Be Admitted.

Chicago.-The big industries of the
country and farm organizations have
joined hands in a determined drive
to procure such relaxation of the inn
migration restriction law as will re-
lieve the present shortage of COM
mon labor.
With the sacking' Of the senators
and representatives of the leading
industrial and agricultural states a
concerted effort will be made to oh,
tain legislation at this session OF
congress which will operate to admit
not less than 100000 aliens in excess
of the number of immigrants coming
in under the three per cent quota law.
The house committee on immigra'
tion will give hearing to commit
tee of the National Manufacturers
Association, which will propose threa
major notifications Of the present
restriction law. The plan was work
ed out in consultation with agricul'
tural leaders and its essential fea'
lures were approved at the recent
meeting of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation in Chicago.
This move will be resisted stub
bornly by organized labor on tho
ground that the increased immigra
tion of foreign labor will result in a
lowering of wages. Mr.. Gompers con
tends that there would be no labor
shortage if wages permitting an
American standard of living wer.
paid for unskilled labor by Industries
from which the native born have beer
driven by alien competition.
The cabinet is divided on the pro
posal, Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion favors it, while Secretary of La
Dor Davis has withheld his approval
In his recent message to congress
President Harding frowned on liftina
Of the immigration bars, but proposed
instead the selective examination o.
intending immigrants abroad.

A short.Haired Age.

"Long hair for man Is thing OF the
past" said the barber. II don't mean
the kind that could be braided, but the
kind that used to be worn by states
men'-the sort that bushed out be-
hind, and impaired majestic appear
ance to an otherwise insignificant In
,dividual. Twenty years age man
did not consider that he was living
up to the traditions Of congress un-
less he wore a lot of hair on his head.
Now men want short hair, and l think
the secret of this change in style Is
due to the fact that fairly close
cropped hair gives a suggestion OF
youth, and that after all Is a greater
possession than the reputation Of be-

especially when one knows in his heart
that he is just foHr-flushing, and liv-

EDSON WHITE HEAD
. OF ARMOUR 8 CO.
ONCE A CATTLE BUTCHER, NOW
SUCCEEDS OGDEN ARMOUR.
CHANGES IN BIG CONCERN
Armour, After Thirty-Five Years
Spent in Developing Huge Indus
try, Becomes Merely Chair
man of the Board.

Chicago.-A self-made man who
started his business career on the cat.
tie killing floor at E. Godel & Sons
packing house in Peoria, ILL.,, became
the president of Armour & Co., one
of the biggest packing concerns in the
world.
F. Edison White-"Ed'' to thousands
of Armour employes-is the new pres
idents name.
J. Ogden Armour, who has directed
the destinies OF the business since his
father, Philip D. Armour, ST., died in
1901, retires from the presidency and
becomes chairman of the board. Philip
d. Armour II was designated first vice
president.
Mr.. White will have under his direc-
tion net only Armour & Co. of Illinois,
with it's more than q billion dollars
of business each year, but also Ar
mour & Co. of Delaware, the newly
organized subsidiary. If the proposed
purchase of Morris & Co. goes through
and Mr. Armour said that he might
have an announcement to make on the
matter before long, Mr.. White will be
head of the greatest packing industry
ever created.
The new president was born at Pc
oria, H., Sept. 8, 1S73-he is still less
than so years old-Mr. White obtain
ed his education in the public schools
there. At II he went to work in the
Peoria packing house. At 20 he was
in San Francisco working for the
Western Meat Company. Two years
there and he came to Chicago and
went to work for Armour & Co. Eigh-
teen months later he organized and
became the first manager of the sheep
department. Within 10 years Mr.. White
was made assistant to Arthur .Meeker,
one of the vice presidents. In January,
1912, they elected him director, and
two years later gave him vice pres
idency.
The passing OF J. Ogden Armour
from the active control of the COM
pany ends, for him, period of more
than 35 years devoted to development
of the industry.

Fall to Quit on March 4.

Washington.-Sec Fall, OF the
interior department, will resign his of
flee on March 4, it has been announc'
ed at the White House. 1t was SAID
that Mr.. Falls retirement was due TO
the pressure of private business inter-
ests which he felt should be given a
greater degree of personal attention
than has been possible while he has
been a member of the cabinet.
President Harding was said to regret
that Secretary Fall found it necessary
to retire, and to have rendered him a
place on the supreme court He re-
piled that his decision to leave public
life was Interchangeable.
The question of successor to Sec
retary Fall is expected to be left open
for some time.

fices at Rosedale, on Wednesday, the
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, in this day of corpora
tions, trusts and other combinations
no unorganized industry can prosper;
that the experience of the past has
shown that no industry is more help
less than the disorganized industry of

fort on the part of the farmers of the
country is not only desirable, but is
absolutely essential to the prosperity

engaged in business in agricultural
sections and makes his living out of
the agricultural efforts of others; and

members of this Association that the
future of the Long Staple Cotton In
dustry of the Delta depends upon the
existence and functioning of the

sociation and its proper functioning
depends upon the full cooperation and
integrity of all of it's members, and
the strict compliance by them with

tention of the Association that two
of it's members, to-wit, j. A. Burt and
A. R. Shattuck, have failed and re-
fused to carry out the terms of their

institution of legal proceedings in the

carry out the terms of their said con-
tracts, which said suits are now pend
ing in the Chancery Court of the First
Judicial District of Bolivar County,
Mississippi:
NOW. THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED by the Staple Cotton Co
