Washington Letter
Nv G. PLUMNER

WASHINGTON April 18.-Rep. Edgar Howard
wants to see obiliterated the last trace Of resentment
between the followers of Lee and Grant and their
descendants.
To accomplish this he is asking congress to pro-
vide for a joint reunion of veterans of the civil war
in the national capital.
Mr.. Howard hit upon the idea some II or II years
ago. AS acting governor of Nebraska he attended
the joint reunion of the armies Of the blue and the
gray at Vicksburg, Miss. SO impressed was he on
this occasion that he determined then and there to
try and have the survivors of the two armies meet
in Washington.
st never shall forget the Vicksburg reunion" he
said. Il remained there for almost a week. Night
after night I was called upon to go and address camp
fires representing the soldiers Of both sides in that
great war. That was the inception of my bill"
AT COUNTRY'S EXPENSE
1t is Mr.. Towards plan to have congress foot the
bills for the reunion. A commission would be set
up consisting of the general of the United States
army and the commanders in chief Of the Spanish
American war veterans, the American Legion, and
the organization known as the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. This commission would have complete charge
Of the reunion.
The Nebraskan thinks that only six or seven per
cent of the veterans would be able to attend such
a reunion, but is confident that the purpose would De
achieved could only a handful be present.
Mr.. Howard describes the project as a Christian
good will movement" He says that his bill is a child
of sentiment only, but if it is enacted into law the
greatest of good will result.
He reminds us that if ever we are to have such
a reunion it must be soon. The average age Of the
survivors is now around 80 years. and in another year
many who might attend now will be gone.
I think it is up to congress to make this reunion
possible he said. These men should be enabled
to come here and join-not in the mighty grapple
they were in between 1861 and 1865, but in the fra
ternal embrace that they would have here in the
shadow of the capitol, both following the flag.
MATTER OF NAMES
1t is a strange coincidence that two ministers to
this country from foreign lands have the same name
and very nearly the same given names.
Dr.. Carol Davila, who is to succeed M. George
Cretziano as minister from Rumania to this capital,
will have his name constantly confused with that OF
the Chilean ambassador, Senior Carlos Davila.
I~ncidently the Rumanian envoy comes to Wash
ington fresh from a great diplomatic triumph. He
dispatched with honor the task of securing a guar
antee from the soviet government of the integrity
of his countrys frontier on Russian boundaries.

Four Points of the Farmer

Three great national farm organizations united IL
placing before the house agricultural committee Tour
principles they believe should be written in the new
agriculture measure. They declared four requisites
must be met by any legislation to permit it to qualify
properly as farm relief.
These requisites were a system to make the tariff
effective on al crops so that SURPRISES would not de-
press the domestic market to world prices; provision
for the control and disposition Of surpluses; a plan
which automatically would check over-production;
farmer-ownership and control of marketing organi-
nations with due consideration to cooperatives already
established.
With these four points a recommendation was
made that the congress should make tariff adjust
ments at the special session to keep foreign products
from competing in the domestic market.
American cotton belt states produce bumper crops
of the fleecy staple. American mills take as high as
100000 bales, A crop of 100000 bales calls for
the taking by foreigners of 100000 bales or else the
handling of the surplus or its warehousing or some
thing of that nature.
All cotton growers should watch with interest the
proceedings of the congress. There is to be a farm
relief bill enacted. Will it protect or afford relief to
the cotton grower-to the millions OF tenants who
grow cotton as we'll as to the large planters or land
owners? 1t is for the little fellow to watch and
wait" N

Fruit Fly In Florida

Discovery of the Mediterranean fruit lily IN three
Florida counties is a new menace to the citrus in
dustry of the entire United States. which should be
combatted with all the energy possible.
Until the hearing is held in Washington on next
Monday it would be unfair to suggest what measures
are necessary for the control of the invasion, but
Valley citrus growers will be intensely interested IN
the measures adopted to eradicate the pest.
Bv all means the Valley should be represented at
the hearing to see that its interests are protected IN
any program adopted.
The Mediterranean fly is said by enton0loglsts 10
be much more difficult to control than the morales
fv the fy which was found in limited numbers IN
the Valley orchards a few. years ago. This new pest
is said to attack many more fruits and vegetables
than the Morales fly, and for that reason it Is claim
ed to be more difficult to stamp out.
Only a limited quarantine was necessary to Con-
troll the invasion Of Valley orchards by the Mora'eS
fly. Only a few specimens were discovered IN the
first place and no new infestation has oeen oiScoV-
cred, although many inspectors, in the employ OF the
United States department of agriculture nave osen
constantly on the alert for them
News dispatches from Florida fail to reveal no"
serious the ihfestation is. Three counties are known
70 be infested. Possibly other outbreaks may occur.
On the other hand, there may be only a very lew
specimens in the entire territory.
limited quarantine has been enforced in The
VALLEY during the past two seasons and hundreds Of
host fruit trees have been uprooted. This method
appears to have been entirely effective mere.
Whether such a procedure in Florida would get
fine desired results probably will be decided at WASH
ington. Federal men already are on the ground ana
are combating the pest while a decision as 10 W1aO
course is to be pursued is being decided upon.
The Texas department of agriculture, always very
friendly to the Valley and her problems, can De ue-
pended upon to furnish additional protection II sucn
. move is deemed necessary. If the infestation IN
Florida is found to be really serious a state quaran-
tine can be declared regardless Of the action taken
by the United States. At least it is good to know
that friends at Austin are prepared to guard the m
terest of citrus growers of this section if it becomes
necessary.
The situation Is one which merits close attention
but there is no cause for alarm.

which she's to change her second

Charlie.

What are we going to say to

Il don't know yet. Well have to
feel our way. Be guided, you know,
by her own attitude. We're fellow
guests, and it's SUMMER, and surely
we can find some excuse for start

They had reached the hall, and
Rupert suddenly stopped speaking.
Simon Brill was standing by a ba-
rometer. tapping it.
Another fine day, I think" he
observed, to the world, and turned.
"Ah! Good morning! Forgive me

Splendid. I'm glad. And have

Rupert hesitated for the fraction

back, and that's the main thing"
Quite SO, quite So" nodded Simon

He took his hat from the STAND

after him. "Charlie-one OF us

A faint rustic came from the
stairs. The girl was descending.
And then Charlie did a very no.

THE EXPLANATION OF "A MILD
WINTER
'Pv Arthur ~ CarpoDtor

By Arthur D. Carpenter
Due to the circulation of the air
over the surface of the earth, the
weather is transferred from one part
of the country to another. Occa-
sionally in northern ATTITUDES the
winters seem unusually mild, but
the explanation is not far to seek.
Every few days atmospheric distur-
Dances known as cyclones, cross the
American continent from the west
towards the east. Whenever such
a storm passes over, if its center is
to the north of a given location,
that locality receives the wind first
from the east, then southeast, south
and southwest. Such draughts of air
come from more tropical regions
consequently mild temperatures pre-
vail.
