I HIS MAIDEN EFFORT Senator Clarke’s First Speech Defended Panama Issue. Washington, Feb. 3.—Mr. Clarke, the new Democratic senator from Arkansas. has made his first speech In the senate. Ho spoke for two hours aud announced his endorsement of every position taken by the president in connection with the Panama revolution and the negotiation of the treaty with the new state. He even said that in view of provocation given by Colombia the president might have been expected to go farther than he did in advancing the case of Panama. He declared that there was more popular support of the course of the president’s policy among Democrats than among Republicans, and said that the Democratic votes necessary to ratify the treaty were assured. ■Mr. Fairbanks spoke in support of the treaty, contending for the regularity of all the proceedings of the administration on the isthmus of Panama.

Indianapolis, Feb. 3. —That the farmers of Indiana may te supplied with j the best literature on agricultural sub- ; jects, the state library commission is compiling a list of such books and is ' preparing to put them into-the circnj lating libraries The agricultural def partment of Purdue university has I been asked to submit titles of books I that would lie especially advantageous |to the farmer. It is expected that I within a few months books devoted to agricultural subjects will be one of the , regular departments of the traveling | libraries. This step is taken to meet the ini creasing desire on the part of the Indiana farmer within the last few years to make a scientific study of his business. The Indiana farmer is familiarf izing himself with the chemistry of farming, and tho natural forces that : govern the production of grain. The farmers have, too, become interested in the circulating libraries and much of the time of the farmers' institutes has been given to the discussion of library work. The farmers requested that books bearing on the growing of crops, besides other subjects connected with farm life, be put in the circulating libraries. The various phases of farm life are now part of the daily program in the district school le Indiana. Farmers Will Try to Cleai* Decatu* County of the Animals. Greensburg.
