Lower other Prices.

Now corn belt senators and represen-
tatives have pretty generally decided
it is time to fulfill their threat and
launch tariff reduction drive. That
will be the main issue in the coming
congressional campaign, so far as the
middlewest is concerned. The corn belt
, contingent, in short, will stop trying
to bring farm prices up to the general
level and undertake to bring the gem
eral level down to the prices of farm
products.
Congressional representatives from
the industrial east, which thrives on
protection, are considerably perturbed
at the prospect, moreover.
If the republican and hitherto pro-
tectionistic corn belt flops, in the di-
rection of tariff reduction, it will mean
a great accession of strength to the
democratic group which is committed
to such policy already. Free trade is
practically dead, even in the democratic
party today but most democrats at
least favor a lower tariff schedule than
1.-The present one.
East Is Worried.
Democrats and insurgents and born
belt republicans combined might easily
form a strong enough coalition to
make radical cuts-on the commodities,
of course, that the farmer has to buy;
not on those that he has to sell.
The protectionists will fight tbs ten
dency ard at the polls, but the outlook
distinctly is not to their liking.

Mountain converge, only Cherry Greek
being the thin border line between
them. Into the lodge are built two
hugh dressed stone chimneys and fues
with great arched stone alcoves, open
fre-places and stone seats in the al
coves.
Crock Lodge" was built and devel-
oped in 1919 by Mr.. Nicola, wealthy
Pittsburgh man, as place of quiet
rest for himself and friends in sum-
mer; but every week people make pill
grimages to see the bungalow on the
mountain top among the pine stumps,
ferns and native mountain laurel. 1t
is located about one and half miles
east of McHenry and the Accident
Oakland State Highway, with a hard
surfaced road leading from it to the
lodge.
A few hundred yards east of Mr..
Nicolas place on Negro Mountain
and just across Cherry Greek, one OBJ
serves on Meadow Mountain strange
looking, broken-up cliff with deep
crevices, bordering on level tract of
many acres of pine stumps. Into this
cliff den, Meshach Browning, the
mighty pioneer hunter, chased many
wild beasts of prey.
Right on the border of this cliff, in
a once dense forest, $4,000 shingles
were made in 1847 for my grand
fathers big red barn, by man named
Mason, for the sum of 500. This
wilderness of noble pine trees was a
grand setting for stage in great
hunting cathedral for a quartet of
famous hunters-Meshach Browning.
William Fern, Holmes Wiley and Will
liam Bittinger.
Meshach Browning's Tree Dormitory
A few miles southeast of Crock
Lodge" stood the great yellow poplar
tree that marked the spot of Meshach
Browning's camping ground on Mea-
dow Mountain-and in whose hollow,
living and standing trunk he often
slept when out on hunting trips. The
tree was cut down by the Mountain
Meadow Lumber Company about 1902,
and was recognized as being one of
the largest in these mountains.
Within the area of this primeaval
forest was big Beech Flat" where
Browning killed many of his 400
bears. Cranberry Marsh Glade" and
the Green Glades" are also near
there.
The butt of the tree was hollow
only about 10 feet up, and at one side
had an opening just large enough to
allow a man to pass into its interior
Here the great hunter had his "dor-
mitory," and slept in security many a
night while his hunting dog dozed
and kept guard at his feet; for Brown
ing was accustomed to say that he
never kept dog upon which he could
not depend for his life.
