WATER POWER BILLS TACKED TOGETHER Myers and Shields Measures Com bined and Brought Up in the Senate. [United Press Leased Wire Service.] WASHINGTON. Feb. 29.—A parlia mentary' move by anti-conservation ists today placed the biggest battle ever fought on this subject before the senate. They took the so-called Myers bill from the calendar as a separate measure and tacked it to the pending Shields bill as an amendment. These two bills fix the terms on which every power site over which the federal government has any con trol shall be leased to private devel opers. Both measures are denounced by GifCord Pinchot as grossly careless of the public interests. Behind the two combined bills the Myers and Shields forces are joined. The Myers bill dealB with all power sites on public lands the bnields bill with power sites on all navigable rivers which the federal government controls under its power to regulate navigation. Coincidently it became known that the Ferris con servation measure passed by the house, never will appear before the senate unless it is forced by majority vote of the senate from Senator Myers' public lands committee. His measure ostensibly is the Ferris bill but all except the title and enacting clause were stricken from it and a complete new measure drafted. Confident that their whole program can be completed so far as the sen ate is concerned, the Shields and Myers forces are campaigning for an early vote. They are arguing that the calendar must be cleared for the pre paredness measures. Opponents of the combined meas ures have two plans one is to try again to en:ist the aid of President Wilson, who has declined once to in terfere. The other, they say, Dally Stock Letter. [Copyright, 1916, by the New York Evening Post.] NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—It was not easy to determine how much of today's recovery was attributable to over night ners of the battle of Verdun, how much to the German ambassador's reported assurances regarding sub marines and ocean liners, and hew much to repurchase of stocks on gen eral principles. The last named con sideration Is not wholly to be Ignored, because stock exchange prices at yes terday low level measured a very con siderable decline and also because the military and diplomatic situation of moment is one with at least large possibilities for a sudden and favor able change. The stock market, opened with a number of very sharp recoveries and in many cases carried prices higher in the early trading. Meantime the influence of the days news from the western front in Europe was not clear the probability being that with the conflicting versions cabled from Paris and Berlin, the etock exchange merely suspended Judgment.

Washington made it necessary that a new flag should wave to tell of a new nation, the United States of America. April 4, 1819, congress adopted the flag of today and permanently fixed its form, thirteen stripes, and one star for each state. Sunrise to sunset is the time to fly the flag. History of the flag is taught on June 14. Flag day. Imprisonment and fine are the penal ties in Iowa to prevent desecra tion of the flag. No national law has yet been enacted by congress, for desecration of the flag. Write your U. S. represen tative and senator. Gen. Grant said, "There is no najpe so great that it should be placed upon the flag of our country." (Galena, 111.. 1868.) Trade-marks which consist of or com prise the flag or other insignia of the United States are forbidden in rule 19 of the patent office.

Miss Kaiser Is one of the best known figures from a golfing standpoint in the country. She has won the Missouri state championship, the St. Louis championship, the Chi cago championship, and has been run ner-urp in both the Western and Trans Mississippi. In nearly every ladles' tournament she is figured as a pos sible winner, and the lady who suc ceeds in eliminating her is given credit for having accomplished a good day's work. Mies Kaiser' is a young woman of delightful personality, and very popular with all who know her. She made her debut on the local course a fercv years ago, but at that time the course was in such a poor condition that she hasn't played it since, until day before yesterday. She and Dr. Talbot, "The Golfing Parson," and Mr. Ballard of St. Louis, and Mrs. Thrift of Lima, Ohio, comprised as fast a mixed foursome as will be seen hereabouts. Miss Kaiser found the greens here exceedingly fast, and for that reason had difficulty with her short gamo, but with a little better ac quaintance with the Country club course, she Is certain to turn in some very low cards for the eighteen holes.
