Another attempt to cut the unwledly size of the lo-.ver ho.ise of congress is before the national lawmakers. Representative John Clarke. New York nepubllran. believes that the 435 mtmber-s tn the house should be reduced to approximately one-half o! that mimbsr, and In a bill he has now -before tha houce he would have the reapportionment effective after March 3 next, when tho fourteenth census will have been taken. But, with the cut in membership, Representative Clarke -would give those regaining a boost in salary continsreat, however, on frequent responses to roll calls. Any member or delegate who neglects to "sign up" would be penalized $100 for each day's absence, except that presentation of a sworn affidavit from a physican that he or a member of his immediate family was ill, would void the penalty. The Clarke- bill fixes the compensation of the speaker of the house at $15,000, a raise of $2,500 over present salary schedules. Under its terms members and delegates would receive $12,0d0 a, year compared with, the $7,500 now received by them. URGES ACTIO X BV STATES. The measure would call on the governors, secretaries of state and attorney generals of the various states to reapportion congressional districts. m In the rather remote event that congress approves the Clarke legislation states hereafter -would have the following representation in the hou3e : New York, C2; Pennsylvania. 19; Illinois, 14: Ohio, 12; Texas, 10; Massachusetts and Michigan.

A i If My steps to end any violence which may grow out of the coal strike. These Dhotos show federal troops So the small grower will find little trouble in picking out a spot for his potato patch. The larger grower should remember that potatoes do test on loose loam which may he inclined to sandy for the earlier potato plantings, l'ienty of organic matter is essential as it opens up heavier types of soil. To these as well as higher soils it adds fertility and gives them the ability to hold larger Quantities, of water. Even though you have a fertile piece of soil for your potatoes spread well hotted manure over it now at the rate of at least tlfetcen or twenty loads to the acre. Fresh manure should be added with caution as it has a tendency to scab worse and often drys out the soil. Where fresh manure is addled it should be applied now and thoroughly worked up with the soil in the early spring and followed immediately by deep breaking. l-'or early plantings the ground is best fall, plowed but if this had not been dune plow as early as possible in the spring. Late potato soil should likewise be plowed eily at least 8 inches deep and reworked at rrequent intervals until planting. This destroys the weeds and retains the moisture. A NOTE OV PROTES. i .

Governor McCray today proclaimed Friday, April 21, as Arbor Day. The official proclamation reads: Within the period of a generation the celebration of Arbor Day has betn established throughout the states of the Union. As a people we have given little thought to the preservation of our forestry. The destruction of forests began with the settlement of our country and lias continued with the years as though it might go on forever with no disastrous results. It has been estimated tfhat the timber of the country is being consumed three times as rapidly as it is being produced. Is their need of a prophet to foretell the ultimate result If the present rate of consumption is continued without any attempt to check the destruction of our trees or any effort made to foster their growth and protection? AVe are all aware of the beauty I that forest and wood, bush and ,vine glve tQ c,Jr country and we have Unowledge of their utilitarian lue yet as a reople ,ve proceed . as ,f tne beauty and utility of these rMfur ef nature we-rs of slight concern to the happiness and progress of mankind. It is therefore fitting at this time of the year when all nature is renewing life that we should observe Arbor Day, not only because it compiles with the law of the state but that wo may engender and awaken ruTllc interest to the slate's need for planting and preserving trees. Now therefore, I, Warren T. McCray, governor of the State of Indiana, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the conAuthorized White Agency for Northern Indiana Retail and Wholesale
