IT IS but fitting that America—the
1 greatest nation in all the world—
1 should have the finest capitol building
on earth. The architectural beauty of
■ our national capitol building at Wash

tol purposes. It is said to surpass
1 every other building in the world.
The base of this immense, sym-
! metrically shaped and imposing edifice
rests on a level plateau, at an eleva-

Houston says, have been especial-
ly fruitful of legislation and ad-
ministrative action in matters
looking to the improvement of pro-
duction and distribution. He cites
definitely the following achieve

celling in the character and extent
of its activities any other similar
existing organization.
2— The co-operative agricultural
extension act, the object gof which
is to disseminate information
among the farmers, mainly
through trained agents. As has
ben indicated, ‘ there is now ex-
pended annually from Federal,
State, and local sources more than
*14.000,000 for work contemplat-
ed by this act.
3— The cotton futures act, with
amendments, under the provisions
of which standards for eoton have
