RUSSELL TIKES
THE "MED" OUT
(Washington, March 22.—As a finish
in* touch to the general overhauling
■which the house committee or foreign
and Interstate commerce has given
to the administration railroad (bill,
that committee yesterday Inserted in
tibs hill, at the instigation of Repte
Mutative Ruseell of Texas, an amend
snent restoring the effectiveness of
the long and short haul clause in' tihe
rote law. This action was taken yes-
terday afternoon jusl before It was
decided to send the hill to the print-
er for a new draft showing the chang-
es which the committee has so far
wrought in the measure.
last week Representative Rubsell
undertook to amend the long
short haul clause of the rate taw, but
was outvoted. Yesterday the corn
>; mlttee reconsidered Its action and
' adopted the Russell amendment This
amendment «tries out the existing
law th words "under similar circum-
stances and conditions" and provides
that the Interstate Commerce cam-
mtssion shall have power to suspend
the operation of this provision 11 nec-
essary to the public interest or to
the preservation of the railroad prop-
erty. In the original Interstate com-
merce act th« nouse fvrote a clause
which read that the rate'for a short
haul shall not Ibe higher than tor a
longer haul in the same direction.
That was the original long andi short
haul clause as it passed the hoube.
Then the senate added five innocent
woids, '"Under similar circumstances
and condition's." These \yor(}is were
retained in conference and in the act
as finally passed, and piactically
killed the effectiveness of the long
and short haul clause, for the court*)
at once ruled that water competition
and, later, that market conditions
created dissimilar circumstance® and
conditions for which reasons the
long and short haul clause would not
apply. The Russell amendment would
take, this joked out of the existing
law, yet would give the Interstate
Commerce Commission authority to
suspend its operation in emergency
cases.
This clause has always been oppos-
ed! im the Bast and particularly In the
New England states, because its con;
sequence would be to give factories
which are closer to their source of
raw material a decided advantage
over factories located a long distance
from such courses, for which reason
the clause finds general favor in the
South ami the West.
In the senate the administration
.bill was discussed at length by Sena-
tor Elkias, who entered' into a gener-
al defense of the measure and a par-
ticular denial of Senator Cummins' in
timajtion that the (bill suits the inter-
ests affected toy it better than it doss
the shipper. Senator Bailey has pre-
pared an elaborate isst speech in
which, it is understood, he will at-
tack the whole administration bill,
especially the stock and bond feat-
ure of the measure.
HON. CONE JOHNSON AT
HOME FOR FEW DAYS' REST
Hon. Cone Johnson, candidato for
governor, having completed' a sixty
days campaign tour, dring which he
«■poke in North and Central North
Texas, covering Hunt, Delta, Fannin,
Grayson, Collin, Dallas, Tarrant, Deri-
ton, Bills, Hill, Navarro, Parker, also
Palo Pinto, Van Zandt and Gregg
counties, came In home yesterday and
will rest and attend to private mat-
ters for s few days.
Mr. Johnson is looking fresh and
fine as a winner before the iace, and
reports ibig crowds at his appoint-
ments, cordial receptions* and great
interest upon the part of the people
everywhere lfe has been.
After a few days at home he will
make a tour of South Texas, then go
west. The demands for him to come
and address the people oome from
every section of the state and, if ho
meets all demanda he will have to
work overtime.
ABOUT THE FARM
The farmer who shell first tenace
his field, get all the stumps out of the
grouhid, learn the Judicious use of
fertiliser, and employ stalk cutters,
section harrows, planters and cultl-
vators behind plenty of horse power
will Ibe the first to find farming In-
teresting and remunerative.
* •*«
Now and then we hear a farmer
arguing that the lands of the 'black
land country are better than our
salidty soils. If a man hod the very
best farm in Ellis county and he were
to cultivate it with a pony, a Georgia
plow stock, .beginning preparation for
his crop in March Jxe would not make
as much on all he could cultivate as
one of the members of the Smith
County Corn Club will malte on the
one acre of land he is going to plant
and cultivate this year.
*****
We have the soil and the climate to
moke ours the richest farming section
in the United States, if we will adopt
the intense method of farming.
*****
Kill Grass Before it Comes Up.
I plant corn and cotton level, or
nearly so. My soil is clay. If a
heavy rain falls before plants come
up I run over with harrow, and cross
with weeder. This will break crust
all over the ground, destroy any grasa
or weed seeds that may be sprouted
and prevent evaporation. If no rain
falls, weeder alone is run four or five
days after planting, and I keep this
up every few days until plants aira
large enough to thin. This part of the
work is looked after closely, as It may
mean the saving oí much fear later
on. If the grass once gets a start
the harrow and weeder are no good
then.—T. J. W. Broom la Starkvllle
(Miss.) Progressive Parmer sod
Southern Farm Gazette.
•**•*
How Much Fertilzer Should We Use?
Perhaps, on average lands, from
200 pounds to 400 pounds of com-
mercial fertilizers under corn, and
from 400 to 600 pounds under cot-
ton is the safest for the general farm-
er. but some- find it profitable to use
even moie. For apéela! crops, yield-
ing large gross money returns per
acre, larger quantities are generally
profitable, in some instances as large
are from 1000 pounds to 3000 pounds
per acre; hut these large quantities
should only ibe used when experience
or test show that they pay.—iStark-
ville (Miss.) Progressive Farmer and
Southern Farm Gazette.
*****
If there is any one man who makes
us good and tired it isthe fellow who
will not improve his methods of farm
ing lest there should be an over-pro-
diuction of farm products. Over-pro-
duction indeed, with Southern chil-
dren living on corn Ibread, Western
bacon and black molasses, when they
should have vegetables and fruits and
butter and1 egigs every day in the
year! The great trouble is non-pro-
duction of many things that should he
staples on every farm.—'Progressive

Who takes the Risk
Did you ever take up a collection for a Flooded
District? For Storm Sufferers?
If so, you have a pretty good idea of the value of money in
times of NEED. You have a picture of the future of many
?;oo¡d wives and little children, whose hnsbands and fathers,
ail to leave proper protection for their care.
You have a slight idea of the hard lives many a once beaut-
iful wife and pretty child are living, because the father left
them upon the care of their friends.
Don't risk your loved ones upon the tender care of the pub-
lic. Upon the attentive services of the neighbors. The
public and the neighbors have other troubles, and your wife
and babe may follow the same ronte that many other wid-
ows and orphans do,—either to the poor house, to an or-
phan's home, or be forced to do hard work for a very scant
living income.
Cut out the worry, the troubles, and the risk, by letting a
good Home Insurance institution, like the Praetorians, as-
sume the risk." We are doing this for 12,000 others;—why
not for YOU? ' ■ ,
It only requires a small sum to carry one, two or three thous
and dollars life insurance. Twelve years of successful bus-
iness stands behind sur contracts with many thousands of
satisfied members. . m1.

SELECT OWN
SEED CORN
.Editor Courier-Times:—As several
of tie men and boys who have en
tered the demonstration work in this
county have lnqined of me if we
recommend any certain kind of seed
corn or coton in the contest for
prise, I will state that any person
can use any kind oí seed he wishes,
corn or cotton and use any land he
wishes in the contest, upland or boo-
top.
My first Impression was to confine
the contest to upland, ibut have decid
ed to not har any land. 1 have made
my rules and published them In alt
the oounty papers, and I advise every
contestant to cut them out and save
them. I ask every school or commu-
nity in the county to organize a
boy's local corn and cotton clulb, sad
elect a president and secretary, ana
also to elect some man in ther chito
from their community, to take charge
of their club and1 measure their land
and to look after' them in making
their reports in the fall ,and to advise
with them in all of their 'business, In
making end gathering their crops.
Some clubs have already organized
and several men have agreed to look
after the boys in their community.
I ask the men in every community
to encourage the boys to organize and
assist them in getting started off,
then let the president send me the
imrae of his club and the boy's names
that will contest for a prize and the
names of all ttie officers of his club,
and tjie nwin's name that they elect
ha fcdvlaer ;:nd all of their addresses.
While I have names of boys from
about 60 school® in this county, some
of them might not contest for a .prize
and only work as a co-operator or de
Htpnstrator, Is the reason I want the
names of all the contestants, men and
boys. The land can be measured any
time from now till gathering time.

Special Agent.

LIFE INSURANCE METHODS.
The rer^at laws passed bj the leg
tslaturo of Texas, regulating life in-
surance, which are favorable to home
corporations, have caused the organi-
zation of a number of old line com-
panies and fraternal bc-neflciary as-
sociations.
"his movement means that Texas
people will hereafter have an oppor-
tunity of securing life insurance in
Texas organizations.
In the establishment of Old Une
Comparies many have adopted ques-
tionable schemes in order to place
their capital stock, it being under-
stood that the profits from the or-
ganization will be for the benefit of
the stockholders. It will take consid-
er jibli time and wooding out pro-
cess, before a corroct estimate of the
true value of thes companies can he
determined.
On the other hand a few Fraternal
Beneficiary Associations have sprung
Into existence that have plans equally
as questionable as the "Old Liners."
gome are making contracts with rates
that bear upon their face the stamp
of misrepresentation, by offering life,
accident and health insurance with
permanent disability and other at-
tractive features at rates lnsufficent
to provide Ufe insurance only on a
permanent basis.
The TEX AC COMMERCIAL UN-
ION is organized under the laws reg-
ilating fraternal beneficiary Dsaocia-
tifm's, with rates based upon carefully
compiled statistics and under the
management of caapble bu'slness men
whoae purpose it is to establish a
permanent life insurance organiza* |

its existence. For further informa-
