(By PETER KKEGANl THOUSANDS OF WORDS are flowing out of Washington each day and night to all parts of the world as the correspondents bend to the task of forecasting what Presi dent Coolidge will have to f*y In his message to Congress the first week in December. Thus far, the President has sealed his lips to such an extent that he has committed himself on no question of importance, and although his views on most questions have been the subject of much talk and writing, the policies of the Administration will not be definitely known until the President unburdens himself in his forthcoming message. Mr. Coolidge is now denying himself to nearly all callers and is spending every spare minute on the address, which will be several thousand words in length. THE SHORT LAPSE of time be tween the announcement of Senator Hiram Johnson's presidential aspira tions and the convening of Congress has caused the rest of Mr. Coolidge'; potential opponents to wait for a few weeks before deciding whether or not they want to enter the lists against him. It is reported in the capital that the announcement of the candidacy of William G- McAdoo for the Demo cratic nomination will be issued oh December 6. A CANVAS OF returning Con gressmen reveals that the election of Nick Longworth of Ohio as Republi can leader of the House of Represen tatives is virtually assured, despite the opposition of William J- Graham and his friends from the Middle West. Longworth, according to the Graham supporters, is too closely allied to the New England delegation, which ha; just about gained complete control of the House organization. THE NAMES OF Henry Ford and Senator* LaFollette and Borah are being mentioned in connection with reports that a "third party" will be in the field after a convention in Minneapolis on May 80. Ford contin ues to puzzle politicians here, while LaFollette ami Borah have not yet indicated any desire to leap headlong out of the Republican party. AS PREDICTED in this column, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has been accussed of being more interest ed in defeating the soldiers' bonus than in reducing taxes. The Ameri can Legion started the assault on the Secretary's tax-reduction-anti-bonus program, and it has been taken up by a number of "progressive" leaders in Congress. It is extremely doubtful in view of the slender Republican ma jority in the new Congress if the tax question will be permitted to come up at all. Administrative leaders fear that the "progressives" might over turn the Mellon program entirely and "gum the works" just at the time when every move must be made with an eye to the next general election. TWO OF THE COUNTRY'S lead ing woman's organisations?the Nat ional League of Women Voters and the National Woman's Party?are at war over the question of "equal rights". The woman's party wants Congress to approve a constitutional amendment giving women equality with men in every walk of life, but the voters league says this would be a step backward and wants to leave the Constitution as it is. LEGISLATION DESIGNED to provide better treatment for incapaci tated veterans of the World War will be an important item in the business of the 68th Oongrese as a result of the sensational investigation of condi tions in the United States Veterans Bureau. The Senate will receive the report of its investigation committee about the middle of December. The Committee has been unable to un earth any evidence of actual graft, but it will have some caustic remarks to make about loose methods in pro viding medical breatment and training for ea-eoldiers.

It was ob served by presenting two loaves made of the new wheat (Lev. 23:17). These loaves were baked with leaven, while leaven waa excluded from the Pass over feast (Lev. 23:0). The reason was that the Passover feast typified Christ's sacrifice, while Pentecost rep resented the church, composed of Jews and Gentiles?the two loaves. Christ had no sin in Him while the men and women composing the church have lln In them. The feast of Pentecost la a figura tive sense still continues, for the body of Christ Is not yet complete.

ADVISES PLOWING UP , OF COTTON STALKS ? Hp. Raleigh, Nov. 89.?The reward for ripping up or plowing under the green cotton stalks immediately after picking cotton and before the plants are killed by frost is an increased cotton crop next year, betterea Wt Bruce Mabee who does extension work in boll weevil control for the State College and Department of Agricul ture. Mr. Mabee hit just returned to Raleigh from his field headquarters at Dunn, N. C. where he worked with the planters in that section this year. His observations, therefore, are bas ed on considerable experience with the weevils out in the fielda. "There are two reasons for plow ing under the cotton stalks", says Mr. Mabee. "The first of these is that the practice destroys a large number of young and immature wee vile to be found now In the, young holla and squares aMH remaining on the stalks. Were these weevil, per mitted to mature nod feat they would batter withstand the winter than the older generation. ?The eecond reason is thatflowing under the stalks removes the weevils' food thus making s longer period from the time of their last square meal in the fall until their first meal in the spring, Many of the instects therefore die during the winter." Mr. Mabee stresses the point that this protective measure is only effect ive when the stalks are plowed under before they die naturally and that its effectiveness is in proportion to the length of time the stalks are plowed under before frost. In a recent let ter addressed to the cotton growers of eastern Carolina, Mr. Mabee urges the growers to pick out their cotton and turn under the stalks. College workers point out that this practice also offers an opportunity to sow some fall crops for improving the soil and for small grain. Club members of Catawba County won over 81800 this fall with poultry shown at four fairs under the super vision of County Agent J. W. Hen dricks. About 80 club mkmbers showed 43 varieties of poultry.
