Un- doubtedly large quantities of corn will be burned on western farms this win- ter, unless prices should materially advance.” Mr. Wallace said the use of surplus » grain as fuel in times of low market- ability was not an uncommon occur- rence in other cereal raising countries. aS S58) HOLSTEIN BREAKS RECORD Wisconsin Pride Second Champion Butter Producer. be read with interest.

New York.—France is ready to join ‘ny movement to avert new world conflicts and will approach the forth- coming conference at Washington in the most favorable spirit for the main- tenance of peace, according to Aris- tide Briand, premier of France and | chief of the French armament limita- tion delegation, arriving here. “Between France and the United: States there is no room for any dif- ference—however slight,” Briand satd n a etatement to the American people. ‘Both our countries endeavor only to tead the men and peoples of good will to peaceful and fruitful work and to reduce more and more the risks of war.” Accompanying Briand was Rene VI- viani, also a member of the French delegation to Washington and a for- mer premier of France, Briand brought with him French documents for use at Washington, to- gether with records of the Versailles peace conference, Fellow passengers of the French premier said Briand and Viviani made | no secret of the fact that the delega- tion would probably prove to be radt- cals at the armament conference, be- cause France believes her wounds are still bleeding while other countries that took part in the war are rapidly recovering. ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO AID CONFERENCE Washington, D. C.—The advisory | committee of 21 selected by President | Harding to act with the American big | four at the armament conference will | | assemble three days in advance of the | conference opening to give its opinion | on the initiative steps of policy to be | taken by this government. | the committee was described in high official circles to illustrate the extent | to which it will function in reflecting public opinion on the problems that | come before the conference. It was indicated that some questions might | be submitted directly to it for study | before being considered at all by the big four, while in other cases sub- | committees or advisers would be asked by the principal delegates to render opinions on details, Although the committee members, | unlike the four principals, will have | no diplomatic standing, a special com- | mission for each was signed by Presi- | dent Harding, authorizing them to “ad- | vise and aesist” in shaping the Amer- ican policy. They are, however, given no power of negotiation like that which goes with the rank of ambassador con- ferred by the president on Secretary { Hughes and the other members of the. big four. |FIVE STATES GET LIQUOR Shipments to Others Prohibited By “Bone Dry” Law.
