ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
 DRY LAWS KEYNOTE
 WOMAN DELEGATES
DELEGATES APPEAR BEFORE SENATE HEARINGS OPPOSE
 STRONGLY MODIFICATION
INTERRUPT THE VETS CASE
Ask Official Voice Be Given Demands; President Coolidge Speech Re-
 cent Conve ntion.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12. (P) Rigid enforcement of the dry laws and opposition to it's modification were the keynotes sounded at the opening sessions of the Woman's National com mittee for law enforcement. Dele gates will descend upon the Senate prohibition hearings Monday, and give official voice to the demands of Pres. Coolidge's message at the recent con- vention when he said in part:
 ''The law represents the voice of the people Beyond it and supporting it is the devine sanction of enforcement of law and obedience of law by it's very nature to our institutions. It does not matter what is the choice of this republic but it's an expression of moral requirement of living in accordance with truth. They are clothed with spiritual significance in which is re- vealed the life or death of an Ameri- can ideal self-government."
 Sixty-fve delegates of the Civic Tenn perance and other woman's organiza- tions came before the Senate prohi- bition committee interrupting the pre- sentation of the vets case and urged enforcement of the Volstead act op- posed modification of the dry laws. Mrs. Henry W. Peabody of Beverly, Mass, chairman of the Woman's Ma tional conference for law enforce ment exclaimed "We represent the homes, church and school, and we stand for law enforcement and no mod ifcation We feel women ought to be represented by men who hold our views"

 the methods by which they were ac
 comphshed were not in themselves
 remarkable. Patience was the chief requisite to his success. Deciding first what he wished to create, re.
 make or improve upon in the vege.
 ble world, he began by carefully SC. lecting robust specimens, allowing them to go to seed, then experiment. ing with the seeds under widely diff ferent conditions of climate, fertili
 zation and nourishment. The product would in turn be submitted to radi. cal changes from its natural elements and the product of this would under.
 go further experimentation and so the artificial evolution progressed until
 the final result either met the wizard s requirements or was abandoned as useless.
 When experiments with seeds alone were not entirely satisfactory, graft. ing upon the seeds or upon fresh
 young shoots often was employed. II
 was thru a combination of these me
 thods, fortified by his inexhaustible patience, that enables Burbank to i'm part delightful odors to naturally ill smelling flowers; to grow gigantic plants from dwarf varieties, and to produce a perfect calla lily only one inch in diameter when full grown These are but few of the queer ano
 malys resulting from the heretofore unheard of liberties he took with na ture's vegetation
 Burbanks experimental farms at
 Santa Rosa and Sebastopol, a nearby
 town, became a Mecca for statesmen
 kings, princes, philanthropists, horti
 culturists, biologists, botanists and hu
 manitarians as the fame of their own
 CT spread. Never of commercial
 turn, Burbank permitted an associa tion known as The Luther Burbank
 Society, chartered by the State o1
 California and endowed by wealthy pa
 irons, to disseminate the knowledge
 of plants and vegetables which he
 worked out.
 In addition to the Congressional grant of land, his work was recogniz
 ed by the Carnegie Foundation in 1905 by gift of S1O,0OO annually fol
 period of ten years to insure a con
 tinuation of his experiments. In 1921 when the city of Santa Rosa com
 pleted new s3OO,O0O park. it was
 named after Luther Burbank. He turned the first shovel of earth in the
 construction, and later laid out the
 gardens, which cover a 41-acre tract. The State of California also hon
 ored it's distinguished resident some years ago by naming March ', Bur
 banks birthday, as Bird and ArboI
 Day and the occasion has since been
 celebrated as school holiday thru out the state.

Blocking Real Farm-Relief Legislation

ing Grange statement aims:
1.-The executive committee OF the National

which agriculture is laboring and believes that
relief legislation is desirable. But it is con-
fronted by the fact that various farm orga MA

badly divided n method Of bringing relief.
Many measures pending before Congress

several points of merit. But the executive com
mittee cannot indorse any of the measures now
pending in their present form"
The National Grange is not only the oldest
but by far the largest farm organization in
the country. 1t dates from the sixties Com
pared to it's nearly million members, the
American Farm Bun eau Federation. some of
the officers of which are hacking the Dickin-

failure to state that in going into the

II we are sincere in the contention
that states large and small have equal

the Monroe doctrine to bring it in line

The Tacna- africa difficulty, in which
the Washington administration has

is an illustration of the danger of hav-

We could have referred that perplex-

we could have told Chile and Peru
that we wanted to associate Brazil
and Argentina with us in forming the
boundary commission. But instead of
following one or the other Of the al
ternatives that commend themselves
to common sense, our Government
appointed a commission with mill
tary man at the head of it. with the
result that if the plebiscte fails to
settle the question our prestige is Sc

in South America that hate us will
have a new argument to use to illus
