Many propositions hove beep
fiered, hut all of them have
looted. Mr. Burleson was
ful largely because his
ported favorably by a oommit-
tee, which exempted It from the
role adopted by tbooe who
brought in the bill, that no new
legislation would be accepted
that had not been reported fa-
vorably by a committee.
Mr. Moon of Pennsylvania and
Mr. Sherley of Kentucky, whp
ate la charge of the bill, sup-
ported Mr. Burleson’s proposi-
sion. ‘ ‘ . '' ■ .1
The new section in the code
makes It a penal offense for any;
employe of the Department of
Agrictdtnre to disclose any In-
formation gathered by the Bu-
reau of Statistics relative to the
yield of crops. This legislation
waa prompted by the scandal
growing out of the sale of infor- j
(nation concerning the condition{
of the cotton crop about three
years ago. <x
It was discovered then that it
was only a breach of faith for an •
employe to disclose, premature-[
ly, information of this kind and*
because there was nothing in the1
statute specifically prohibiting!
traffic in crop statistics, those)
who had sold information to|
speculators about a forthcoming;
cotton yield escaped punishment, j
The proposition adopted today.
makes such an offense punish-1
able by a'fine of from $1,000 toi I
^10*000 and confinement Jp tbei „
penitentiary from one to ten
years.

The most notable of these
In that Senator Bailey’s Mil
eludes railroad bonds, making
Stale, county and municipal
bonds the basis of the emergency
currency.
It provides for a miximum of
$600,000,000 instead of $250,000,-
000. The notes would be called
treasury notes Instead of Na-
tional bank notes, for the reason
that Instead of being Issued by
the banks they would be depos-
ited “in banks which have al-
ready been or which may be for
tiiat purpose designated as de-
positaries of public money.”
The bonks must pledge State,
county and municipal bonds, not
to redeem the currency, but to
guarantee its return or the re-
turn of its equivalent in lawful
money of the United States.
During the time it is on deposit,
the banks are to pay interest at
the rate of one-half of 1 percent
a month for the first six months
and at the rate of three-fourths
of 1 per cent per month after
the first six months.
This currency is to be issued
when, in the judgment of the
Secretary of the Treasury, “busi-
conditions require it,” and
the deposits shall be apportioned
in the several States in accor-
dance with their population.

Quay county’s first bale of eot-b , Pari||> Texagf Jan_ 21__An ep.
ton appeared on the street# of
this place today and was the
center of attraction for a lar^e
crowd. Photographs were tak-
en of it and favorable comments
were heard on all sides.
Cotton was planted in small
quantities in this county last
season as an experiment by
some of the old cotton raisers of
Texas and Oklahoma who have
taken up government lands. The
resulting crops were so much
better than expected and the
prospects appeared so good for
Its production that W. F. Buch-
anan ft Co. put in a gin, and this
bale was their first. A large
acreage wilLbe planted to cotton
this season.

idemic of barn burning seems to
have struck this section. More
of them have been destroyed
than ever before known in the
last few months, yet in few cases
it is certainly the work of in-
cendiaries.
The latest sufferer is C. W.
MoGlasson, in the southwest part
of the county. Fl.sbarn burned
last night.
The contents were 200 bushels
of corn, some harness and a good
/nare, the animal being burned
to doath. The loss is about $500,
with no insurance.

When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is nature’s calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent
aotlon;
Any urinary trouble tells of
kidney ills.
Doan’s Kidney Pills cure all
kidney ills.
T. Q. Townsend, farmer, liv-
ing one mile north of Bonham,
Tex., says: “It was pain and
lameness across my back and
too frequent action of the kidney
secretions which caused me to
get Doan’s Kidney Pills. They
soon fixed me up all right. I
gave some of them to my wife’s
sister, who was troubled a good
deal with her back, so that at
times she could hardly get about.
After using Doan’s Kidney Pills
she said her back was so moch
better that her faith in Doan’s
Kidney Pills was abounded.
From both observation end ex-
perience I have no hesitation in
recommending Doan’s Pills to
others in need of a backache or
kidney remedy.”
Plenty more proof like this
from Clarksville people. Call at
