BARCELONA

Every traveller who visits Spain
has q favorite town, and discus
sion often becomes quite heated
when a group starts relating the
attractions of Seville, Madrid,
BurgoS or Granada.
But many who are enthusiastic
about Spain will have none Of
these delectable spots and insist
that there's no place like BARGE
Iona. This traveller, too, is in
clined to award first place to
Barcelona, a most progressive
city, yet one which carefully pre-
serves the beauty of its STORED
past.
Barcelona is beautifully sit
uated, opposite the Mediterranean,
in q rich undulating plain be-
tween two rivers and mountains,
the capital of the four Catalan
provinces. A city of contrasts, it
is intensely vital as well as pos
seSsing great physical beauty. The
heart of old Gothic Barcelona,
with It's lovely cathedral, is in
marked contrast to the Plaza de

INNOVATION

When the Democratic National
Committee decided to select an
official hostess to receive women
visitors at it's convention in June
it was an innovation in political
circles.
Only in recent years have
many women attended the turbu.
lent conclaves at which is Sc
lected the presidential candidate
of a party.
The Democratic strategists, how
ever. decided that it was high time
to make this gesture.
Deciding that the National Capt.
toll would furnish a woman well
versed in those matters. they chose
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, Demo
cratic national committeewoman.
If they are in attendance, as
they have been in previous years,
it will be Mrs. Harriman'S duty to
entertain Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall, widow
of the former Vice President, and
others.

Justice or Prejudice

{ Headed by Senator Elmer Thomas, of Oklahoma the
Senate subcommittee District appropriations has
shown thorough appreciation Of the needs of the Ma
:tional Capital
The bill which the subcommittee reported, which the
Senate passed without dissenting vote and which
now in conference while being great improvement
the House bill, is still minimum" BILL
i. There isn't any apparent taste of taxpayers
money in the measure yet it attempts to provide
Nth reasonable adequacy for the necessities of the
service agencies of the local government.
THE soUNDNEss OF THE SENATE BILL PLACES
UPON SENATOR THOMAS AND THOSE WHO WITH
HIM REPRESENT THE SENATE IN THE CONFER
ENCE COMMITTEE THE OBLIGATION TO SEE
THAT THE BILL IS HELD INTACT THROUGHOUT
THE CONFERENCES AND AS IT IS TAKEN BACK
TO THE RESPECTIVE HOUSES.
The time for yielding justice to prejudice has passed
In many previous years the House has passed an
unfair bill only to have the Senate throw the House
measure aside and pass reasonable bill.
But in too many of those years the Senate after pass
ing reasonable has, for the sake Of expedency
turned around and permitted the House to override it in
conference and ultimately achieve its purpose Of getting
through an unjust unfair and thoroughly inadequate
appropriation bill
Armed Nth the unanimous backing of the Senate,
however, Senator Thomas, WhO has demonstrated
genuine desire to build up Capital of DHich the
country may be proud should be able to write Diff
ferent story in the conference this year.
If the House conferees persist in the arrogant and
prejudced attitude which they have previously main
tane the Senate conferees have clear before
them.
THEY SHOULD LET THE APPROPRIATION BILL
DIE AND SEND THROUGH CONGRESS A CON-
T1NU1NG RESOLUTION, MAKING AVAILABLE
THE SAME APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE COMING
FISCAL. YEAR AS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE CUR
RENT YEAR.
Admittedly this is not pleasant prospect for the Dis
trct and it is unsatisfactory method of legisatng
But the absurd situation now prevailing must be
brought to end and this is the only way to do it.

IRON WORKERS WIN
WAGE INCREASES

Special to PRODUCERS News.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 26.-The
Ornamental Iron Workers Union,
Local 1913, which waged a bloody
but successful strike last fall, in
which two persons were killed by
Latimer's Farmer Labor police,
concluded an agreement with the
bosses Tuesday in which wage in
creases of 219 cents per hour for
June and a like increase in Sep
TENDER were provided. The en-
ployers agent in the negotiations
was the Minneapolis Bureau of In
dustrial Relations. The agreement
also provides for a re-opening of
negotiations in June, 1897, with
the agreement to last until June,
1888.
This successful conclusion to ne
gotiations proves the necessity Of
a strong and militant union to deal
for the employees. During last
fall's strike the unions militancy
was tested and proved, which fact
makes the employers very amen
able to suggestions from the en-
plOyes.

HEART GIRTH OF
DAIRY CATTLE Is
GUIDE TO WEIGHT

More accurate figures for esti-
mating the weight of dairy cows
and calves from heart-girth meas
urements are announced bv the
Bureau of Dairy Industry of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. This method has long
been used in Denmark. But the
measurements used on Danish cat
tie often over estimate the weight
of American dairy cattle, some
times as much as go pounds, large
ly as the result of differences in
conformation.
Estimating the weight of live
stock by heart girth was common
in colonial days. Livestock buy
ers carried a girth chain, instead
of a tape measure, estimating the
weight on basis of links rather
than inches.
The new measurements begin
with calves with a heart girth of
only 26 inches, which will weigh
about 80 pounds, and progress by
half inches to cows with a girth
of 90 inches and weight of 1875
pounds. Previous tables did not
include animals with a heart girth
of less than so inches.
Estimates are surprisingly ac-
curate. variations in weight then
applied to different animals being
no greater than often occur in an
animal weighed two or three days
in succession. They are based on
actual weights and heart-girth
measurements of more than / ZOO
registered Holstein and JERSEY cat
tie varying in age, size, and con-
ditiOn. They can be used with ac-
curacy for other dairy breeds, says
the Bureau.
