Vote on Peace Resolution Ferty-nine Democrats Who Join With Republicans in Support of Measure to End War by Resolution Washington, June 13.?By a vote of. exactly 5 to 1 the house tonight passed the Porter, resolution to ter minate the state of war between the "United States and the Central powers. As a. substitute for the Knox reso lution, already passed by the senate, repealing the declaration of war it *was .put through 305 to 61. as a Re publican measure with the loss of [ only , one, Republican vote, Keller of j M"lchigan. Forty-nine Democrats ; ?joined in the landslide. First throwing- out on a point of order a motion by Representative ?Flood, 'Democrat, Virginia, to send the resolution back to committee . with instructions to report a substi tute requesting the president to rUegoiate with the enemy countries ;'.-?/ "for a .treaty of-peace, the house vot :ed down, 254 to 112, another pro posal relating to disarmament. ?There was no debate on the latter motion, which provided for an amend ment to the pending measure reserv ing the right under the treaty of /Versailles *to enter into- an agree ment .with Germany and her allies ahS-the powers associated with the "?nited States in the war for joint ^ disarmament." . i;The.vote of the .Democratic lead ership to . hold the party in line ': against the resolution failed, and the minority crumpled on roll calls. The -nack of the gavel ending two solid days of debate which leaders agreed had; not changed one vote, brought a sigh of. relief to weary members. ^ V^Sprtnglhg a surprise at the last '01 moment. Chairman Porter, of the foreign afF&lrs committee in charge ef the fight, presented Representa tive B?rke Coekran to make the clos ing argument for passage of the resolution. There had been talk during the day that Mr. Coekran W~?ttid hot be found in line with his party* imt putting him forward to end the debate upset calculations. In the #?d, however, the New York membc-r did not actually vote, as he was, paired. ??"Mr* ttfelly,'who is chairman of the house conferees at work on the naval hill,', with Its disarmament amend ment, made a bitter attack on the resolution declaring, congress would live'to apologize fof its act. which hje described' as making peace with a 'teere clasp Of the hand, after the fasnion of {professional wrestlers. ' "'The-principal attack on the reso Ufti6n Was based -by Democrats on .^ejglkmhd-that it did not properly ?^ptjjjfej?" ^American rights and that the'tTnlted States in attempting to njegbtiate^ a*' treaty with Germany and her allies would sit down with ?feet " and* hands tied, and without being5 afclc to hold the right won by war. - Republicans held, however, that all'rights were safeguarded. * ^.-Representative- Garrett, Tennessee, asting Democratic leader.

(By the Asso ciated Press).?The point chiefly em phasized at the opening of the world cotton conference here today was that the present glut in raw cotton is a temporary condtion and that the re turn to normal will demand greatly increased production. In this con nection. Richard I.

David R. Coker. of South Carolina said there war. stii! lamentable ignor ance of scientific methods oi produc tion among American farmers education was badly needed. The first essential, however, was to abolish Iri bor conditions prevailing in the South which ieft the laborers in dire pover ty and bring back the price of cot ton to a profit level.

With Dixie Brand Calcium Arsen ate / Dixie Brand Calcium Arsenate is not a patented prepa ration nor a secret known only to us. Calcium Aresenate is a chemical that the U. S. Government has spent thou sands and thousands of dollars to perfect and is the one thing they recommend to be used in controlling the boll weevil. Do not Tee! like that some private parties have something that is bettor than what your Government has for years been experimenting with but take advantage of their experiments and experience and apply it to your own crops, for our Government knows better what is-best for us. The only one thing about Dixie Brand Calcium Arsenate is that when you buy that brand you are sure of the highest grade and one that will produce results if properly applied, and continue to shun those things ex ploited by individuals that arc intended only to give to them great gain. "A word to the wire is sufficient." In fact the live, progressive, knowledge-seeking farmer has been convinced and certainly will use Caleiunn Arse nate as the one thing to insure the making of a cotton crop in the face of the boll weevil menace.
