Washington. With the end of the sixty-fourth emigres only two weeks off, urimliilxtrutlon li-ader are concen trating their energies to the enactment of revenue and national defense legis lation. What emergency legislation may be enacted b'fore adjournment depend entirely upon the decision of the presl- j dent. Muny members of the senate I nd house believe be will communicate I to congress within a few days his plan for handling the International crisis. The suggestion was made that con gress might be asked to adopt broad resolution authorizing the president to take any necessary measures for the protection of American rights and voiding specific stipulations as to how the protection should be afforded. It was Indicated that Mr. Wilson re mained as anxious as ever to avoid war and that be gave no suggestion that a declaration of war, which con gress alone can make. Is even consid ered by him at present In connection with the possibility of request for additional authority. The general feeling her bad been that Germany's submarine campaign sooner or later will lead Inevitably to such violation of American right as will require the further action fore cast by the president In bis address to congress two weeks ago. The presi dent Is understood to feel, however, tbat when the time comes the solution outlined In tbat address should be fol lowed out literally, and the step ta ken should constitute an extension of further protection to American Inter ests rather than declaration of war.

He Is an In tensely interesting speaker and gave a scholarly interpretation of the facts concerning the structure of the great pyramids' as relating to dates of significance in the history of both the civilization of the world and the development of Christianity. He not only gave us exact knowledge as to the location, structure and history of the pyramids but much such knowledge of things in Europe and this country as well. He exhibited specimens of rock formation, which Our Service And What It Means to You YOU CAN SEE BEFORE YOU BUY Have you ever considered the advantage of having practically at your door a stock of first-class implements that can be inspected thoroughly before a purchase is made? It is a human trait to want to see before we buy. When we were kids we swapped knives "sight unseen" but the novelty of this manner of transacting business loses its attract iveness when we consider that imple ments cost real money and are not an every day purchase. One of our jobs in conducting our busi ness in this community is to set up the machines" we sell and see that they are properly adjusted before they go into your field. After they are set up they can be examined by you you know just what you are getting because you see the imple ments with your own eyes. When the goods leave our store our interest does not end there but well tell you something about that later. We'd like mighty well to show you what we have in stock and give you a description of what we can get for you promptly if we have'nt it here. Drop in the next time you are in town. We are always glad to see our good friends and to get better ac quainted with those we don't know so well. Q. C.
