the Senate and House, and the rank
ing Democratic members of the two
committees OF agriculture, Senator
Smith, of South Carolina. and Repre-
sentative James b. Aswell, of Lou
isiana, a. well as several Republican
members of these committees, to go
over the report of the conference.
The President urged that the rec
concentrations be translated into
laws at the present session Of Con-
gress.
Doubtful as to Speed
An effort will be made to whip a
bill or bills into shape so as to carry
out the recommendations of the con-
ference as far as possible, but many
Republicans and Democratic members
of Congress, in discussing the matter
today. predicted that some of the
recommendations could not be put
into law as speedily as the President
desires.
The conference may not have
known that the House Interstate
Commerce Committee only last week
submitted a favorable report on a
voluntary branding bill to take the
place Of the various individual bills
IN that subject, and in its report
dealt at length with the French ruth
in-fabric bill and declared it unwork-
able and useless to the consumer.
In regard to this subject, the re-
port of the Presidents agricultural
conference says:
THE conference is in favor of leg
islation which requires that specific
statements be placed on all woven
fabrics, and on garments made from
fabrics purporting to contain wool,
indicating the percentages of virgin
wool. shoddy, cotton and silk, of
which they are made"
This is absolutely in line with the
French-Capper bills provisions, and
is equally as absolutely at variance
with the views of the House Inter
state Commerce Committee.
For Tariff Protection
Regarding tariff protection, the
conference reports: :
I'm the field of legislation it is i'm
portant that not only specific prob
lens of the farmers should be solved,
but also, in general, that there should
be given to the American farmer
through the application of the pro-
tective tariff system, the full benefits
of American markets.

Inc borrowing provisions of an
adjusted service certificate provide
for the protection to the veteran.
provision is a whereby any ma
tlonal bank, or any bank or trust
company incorporated under the
laws OF n state, territory or possess
sion of the United States or the Dis
trlct of Columbia, is authorized to
make loans OF a veterans promissory
note, secured by his certificate. The
consent of the beneficiary is not
necessary. The rate of interest
charged upon the loans shall not eX-
coed by more than two percent per
annum the prevailing rate charged
for the ~rediscount of ninety-day COM
mercial paper by the Federal Reserve
Bank for the district in which the
loan is made. This rate is now AZ
percent throughout the country,
which would make the maximum le-
gal rate on loans 6k percent. If the
veteran does not pay the principal
and interest of the loan on it's ma
turity, the bank may present the
note and the certificate to the Di-
rector of the Veterans Bureau, who
may cancel the note (but not the
certificate) and pay the bank what is
due it. The veteran may redeem the
certificate with the Director at any
time up to date of maturity. If the
veteran fails to redeem his certificate
from the Director before its maturity
or before death, the director shall
deduct from the face value of the
certificate the amount paid the bank
and interest at six percent to the
date of maturity or the veterans
death. The remainder is paid to the
veteran or to- his dependents.
Application blanks may be obtain
ed from any American Legion post.
Officers and members of the Ameri-

charge is permitted to be made for
such service.

ADJUSTED COM
PENSATI0N @
WAR VETERANS
(By 2. II. Leimbachl

On January list, 1925, the earliest
date adjusted service certificates
could be dated, over one half of the
eligible eX-service men of the World
War had applied for the benefits as
provided for under the Federal Ad-
justed Compensation Act. Beginning
with January list, the applications
for adjusted compensation received
in Washington began to- increase
daily.
While veterans may apply for ad-
justed service certificates up to Jan.
LIST. 1928, they are urged to send
their applications in as early as poss-
ible. The reasons for making appli-
cation early are all in favor of the
veteran. To explain the most i'm
portant reasons we will take for eX-
ample Mr.. Jones who has been in
service both at home and overseas for
a period long enough to entitle him
to the maximum of $625,O0 service
credit. Mr.. Jones made application
for his adjusted service certificate
under date of December LIST, 1924
and at that time he was 80 years
of age figured to his nearest birth
day. According to the table of NOR
tality. Mr.. Jones is entitled to an
adjusted service certificate 2.524
times the S625.00 or S1577, payable
in 20 years from January list, 1925
to the veteran or at death of the
veteran to the beneficiary named by
the veteran in his application in one
lump sum. We take for another
illustration Mr.. Brown who is an
overseas veteran and entitled to the
maximum service credit of S625. Mr..
Brown has dependent up on him for
support one or more persons and has
been reminded several times that he
should make application for his ad-
justed service certificate. but his
usual answer was: I'm take care of
this one of these days" One OF these
days Mr.. Brown took seriously i'll
and failed to recover and after the
funeral his friends inquired as to
whether or not Mr.. Brown had APP
piled for the benefits provided by
the Adjusted Compensation Act and
their inquiry received a reply In the
negative. Now, Mr.. Browns de-
pendents made application for the
benefits as provided for them by the
Adjusted Compensation Act on ac-
count of Mr.. Browns service and VIII

Mr.. Brown was OF the same age as
Mr.. Jones) In ten quarterly payments

man. think 1t over. While you are
thinking about II. take into consider
alton that what little you are paying

Another reason for making your

Avoidable Waste in Hog
Raising in Kansas Huge

kansas raises four hogs per litter
and eight pounds of pork per bushel
of corn" said DR. G. w. McCampbell,
head of the animal husbandry depart
ment at the Kansas State Agricultural
college. in his talk before the Kansas
swine breeders associations.
Kansas can raise eight hogs per
litter and 16 pounds of pork per BUSH
Ell of corn" he continued. Kansas
loses more hogs than she raises For
every four pigs raised nine are far
rowed. About 88 per cent of the deaths
may be traced directly to the farmer.
1t may be due to neglect or to igno-
rance. In either case it can i'll be af-
forded and can usually be avoided
with a reasonable amount of care and
precaution.
poor management can be suppressed
ed by good management Poor feeding
can be avoided by a study Of what
types of food a hog must have, what
proportions it should have, and how
these qualities can be obtained salts
factorily and economically.
IF the breeder chooses he can, by
proper management, careful feeding
and wise selection, grow strong, thrift
ty, vigorous hogs"

ARTIST IN PIQUE
SPOILS ART WORK
Splendid Memorial Model
Lost to World.

When GutZon Borglum destroyed the
models for the great Stone mountain
memorial. to be chiseled as reminder
of the South and her leaders, he set an
example that has been followed by an
other artist 1000 miles away.
The city Of Milan has been holding
contest among artists for design OF
the citys sons who fell in the World
war. Many and varied and beautiful
have been the designs submitted. Yet
none seems to have filled the want as
expressed by the jury of award They
want something different from any me-
mortal yet erected. They want some
thing that shall be eternal, that shall
breathe of sacrifice, liberty and glory.
They want something everlasting but
lyrical, e. M. L. writes in the New
York Times.
The design entitled "Alla Gloria by
Giannino Castiglioni seems to have
won the greatest number of admirers.
It is a gorgeous thing. Upon the top
Of twelve great marble pillars are
twelve figures representative of twelve
great battles of the war. Six on side.
these pillars form wide design in the
center Of which is a solitary stone.
Thanked by wide marble steps are two
figures which seem to indicate grief
and pride of achievement. The whole
is too beautiful to stand the wear and
tear of the years.
And the judges want something that
will last forever. They seem to want
a great pyramid, not Temple of
Ephesus; they want an Alp or Hima-
laya, not Leaning Tower Of Pisa or
a Milan cathedral. They seem willing
to abandon beauty for durability. They
want something set upon a hill in Mi
Ian that will strike the visitor imme-
diately upon his arrival, something
that will be seen from afar.
''Alla Gloria" was beautiful thing.
1t is so no longer. The artist was dis
gusted with the failure of the jury to
accept his design. He did not take an
ak in hard and destroy it in a fit of
temper. He, it seems, talked it over
with other artists whose designs had
not received recognition. These artists
since misery loves company-did not
continue to advocate the surprising
beauty of their own efforts They
concentrated their displeasure upon
the failure of "Alla Gloria to win
recognition. So, apparently witch the
concurrence of the designer, they de-
.stroyed the model of very beautiful
memorial.

Paper From, Asphalt

Heavy paper is now being made by
the use of asphalt. After the fibrous
materials have been treated, to re-
move impurities, they are macerated,
pulped, witt water and formed into
sheets by pressure and dried by heat.
Much paper and cardboard for wrs p
pers, cartons, and the like consists
of a layer Of cheaper material be-
tween sheets of better quality. The
aim Of the new process is to give a
better product, made proof against
water and vermin, and this accom-
plished by substituting the asphalt
layer for the inferior filling. This lay
er is a thin sheet of pulp into which
an emulsion of liquid asphalt with a
small amount of suitable clay and suf-
ficient water are introduced. One or
more of the il3permeable asphalt lay
ers are used between the sheets Of
plain pulp, and the resulting heavy
paper or fiber board Is claimed to be
rot only waterproof, but about 20 per
cent stronger and more durable than
ordinary paper or cupboard of like
thickness.

FLUSHING EWES TO
INCREASE LAMBS


Those who have ewes to breed this
fall may we'll be thinking about get
ting them in good physical condition
before the mating time arrives. 1t is
well-known fact that when ewes are
in a gaining condition at the time of
breeding that the lamb crop will not
only be larger, but the individual
lambs will also be stronger and
healthier. Putting ewes in gaining
condition is spoken of as flushing"
them.
Some years ago the United States
Department Of Agriculture carried on
number of tests with flushing ewes
just BEFORE the breeding season and
came to the conclusion, after six years
of experimentation, that flushing in
ereases the lamb crop about 20 per
cent. The Kansas experiment station
calls attention to lambs it has secured
In tests with IL groups Of ewes. The
ewes that were not fed grain during
the breeding season gained about 1T
pounds per head and had a lamb crop
lof 119 per cent, whereas those that
received one-half pound of grain a
day prior to breeding gained 8 pounds
per head and had a lamb crop of LAT
per cent. In other words, on that basis
every hundred ewes that were flushed
produced % more lambs than those
that were not literally fed prior to
breeding 1t isn't so important that
a ration of definite composition be
fed. Any good feed that will cause
the ewes to gain in flesh will turn the
trick. A good bluegrass or alfalfa pas
ture without grain is all right.
A very good grain ration, however,
is composed of one-third part by
weight of corn, oats and bran. One
half corn and one-half oats will also
make good ration or oats alone will
do. very well indeed. Nor should a
great deal of grain be fed. One-half
pound per day per head is usually
enough, although ewes chat are in q
rundown condition will do better If
fed as much as three-fourths of a
pound per head per day for a period
OF Ia TO lS days before freezing.
There are other advantages in flush
ing the eve flock aside from getting
larger and stronger crop Of lambs
Flushing tends to cause the ewes to
come in heat. Thus the flock can be
bred in less time and the lambs will
come within a range of about two
weeks of each other. A short lamb
ing season in the spring is preferable
to a long season because it lessons
the labor OF caring for the youngsters.
Besides, as the lambs grow up they
will be more uniform in size, which is
an advantage when running together
in one flock. They will also be ready
for the market at the same time and
practically all will be uniform as to
weight when sold. These are factors
of considerable Importance.

nous British yacht designer who brought out the
Thistle in 1887 for the Americas cup She was
defeated by the Volunteer in two races in Septem-
Der of that year. Watsons design produced in
the Mayfower an appearance of grace and speed
rarely found in vessels of her size. For the May
flower is of quite considerable size She is 273
feet long and 30 feet beam and her displacement
is 2,69O tons. During the Harding regime the Navy
department converted her from a coal-burner to
an oil-burner gave her new teak deck and made
her modern In every respect. Her valuation to-
day including appointments is about $1500,0OO.
The Mayfower is in command of Capt Adolphus
Andrews, U. s. N, who is also senior naval aid
to the President. She carries a crew of 1875 men,
including a detachment Of Marines under COM
mand of Lieut.. Edgar Allen Poe All are picked
men, from engineers to sailors, from carpenters
to Filipino mess-stewards-- United States navy
caves the Mayflower the best it can supply
Ogden Goelet, American millionaire yachtsman,
bought the May1ower in 1896 upon completion at
& famous Scotch shipyard March II, $685. the
Navy department bought her for $4,000 from his
estate; she was needed in the Spanish American
war and the king of the Be1gans was negotiating
for her. The NIayfower's first assignment was
that of a despatch boat in the bockage off Cuba.
In 1900 she was on duty at San JUAN Porto
Rico, relieving hurricane victims In 1902 she
was, for time, the flagship of Admiral George
Dewey with the North Atlantic fleet The year
1903 saw recognition of the independence of
Panama canal; the NIayfower was on the scene
with naval contingent under Rear Admiral
Coghlan.
In July of 1905 the Mayfower returned from
European cruise and took to Portsmouth, N. n,
the special ENJOYS of Russia and Japan, who there
drew up the peace terms terminating the Russo
Japanese war, through the mediation of President
Roosevelt. In 1907 she went on permanent duty
as the Presidential yacht and especially In
evidence in 1908 when President Roosevelt
viewed the "Great White Fleet" upon its return
from its memorable cruise around the world
This suggests that it is the duty of the Presi-
dent, as commander-n-chief of the navy, person
ally to inspect the United States fleet during his
tenure of office 1t is inspiring occasion when
the Mayf1ower, flying the Presidents flag, stands
by as the long line of fighting craft steams by
each in turn firing the Presidential salute. Yes
there is considerable pomp and ceremony about it
all. But there is good big patriotic thrill in
it for all good Americans. And it's fair guess
that everyone of them is pleased that the May
flower worthily fits into the occasion.

Of the Presidents guests would be pretty
prehensive list of people of the hour in American
political and official life. The Mayfower has been
the setting of many important conferences of the
Coolidge administration
There is another side to these weekend trips
on the Mayf1ower. The President may take his
Office with him, but he does not leave his home
behind. Mrs. Coolidge goes with him always and
seems to take equal enjoyment in the yacht and
her voyages She usually takes along friends who
give the political conferences a wide berth. And
when President and Mrs. Coolidge GO aboard they
leave behind them none of the comforts Of the
Executive Mansion. When they invite guests they
assured of their comfort. 1t would convey the
wrong impression to say that the Mayfower is
dream of luxury Nevertheless, her appointment
is frst-cass in every way. The principal rooms
on the Mayfower include these: reception room,
dining room library, smoking room. There are
bed chambers for the President and his wife
and fourteen guests.
In fact, there are all the comforts of home

way, too, is the Mayfower of 1925 suggestive of
the Mayfower of 1920. You will recall that the
Pilgrims before landing drew up and signed the
"Mayfower Compact establishing body polite

an experiment in democracy Well, in many ways
there is the same atmosphere Of democracy on the
Mayfower of 1925. Everybody on board takes
part in these religious services--Presdent and
guests, officers and crew. And when there is
concert or moving picture-why, that is for "all
