London.—Three important develop: | ments emerged from the confuston | into which the resignation of Aristide Briand, the French premier, threw the Cannes negotiations. These were, | first, that a ministry headed by Ray- | mond Poincare will take the place of | the Briand administration; second, | that the Genoa economic conference appears to have been saved out of the wreckage, and third, that the repara- tions committee, acting under the dis- cretion it possesses by virtue of the Versailles treaty, has granted Ger- | many a moratorium until the allies arrive at a new decision with regard to her condition. Germany, instead of paying the! 600,000,000 gold marks due Sunday, | is to pay every ten days approximately 31,000,000 gold marks, which latter amount is considered as representing 26 per cent of her exports. | Movies to Insure Hays’ Life.

The tolling of the monastery bells suggested chimes, these chimes calling to all who hear them the voices of our soldier boys ‘Lest we forget, lest we forget.” A suggestion by a designer that a large sum could be saved by using local material in its con- struction if available and a com- mittee will be appointed to in- vestigate this. It was the purpose of the late lamented and deceased Commis- sioner John D. Long to investi- gate this, just before his sudden demise. Mr. Long lost a son in the war and was very enthusias- tic over this project and had he lived would have been a factor in its construction. He hed in mind, looking into the material now be- ing used in the construction of the convent near Cottonwood and the present board intend to carry out the same investigation. If this materiz] can be utilized it | will be a great help and expedite | the construction in a more econ- omical manner. At the meeting of the commis- sioners and the legion held on |Tues:day more complete and de- finite arrangements and plans wer formulated and will be given publicity from time to time. A special effort will be made to lay the corner stone of this memor- ial on the fourth of July and if possible to dedicate it with ap- propriate exercises on November 11, Armistice day. In this connection we feel it would not be out of place to again publish the names of our boys who made the supreme sac- rifice as public memory is short lived and prone to forget. Lt. John A.

We are apt to think of the war horse as a proud animal, and so he is, and has a right to be, for he is called upon to be as brave as he is proud, But proudest and most digni- fled of all horses of the army is the animal that is called upon to fill the position of drum-horse in the regimental band. In the American and British armies cavalry bands are mounted, and the most honorable position in all the band Is that of the bearer of the ‘kettle- drums. The horse is selected for his distinguished appearance. He ts often plebaid, altho sometimes pure white. Something more than mere beauty of form is required of the drum-horse. He must be trained until he bee a dig nified and graceful] bearer of the hand some trappings that pertain to his high calling. His education ts severe and prolonged bringing him up to that potnt where his pride and intelligence make him equal to the duties required ot him, He is severely tried by the booming of the large drums he carries, but in time he becomes indifferent to thelr noise. In the parade, his rider has bis hands full in the use of the sticks; he controls the horse by means of reins fastened to the stirrup-strap near the Farm Loans We have plenty of money to loan on improved lands, lowest rate, prompt service.

USED BAMBOO TO MAKE CLOCK Remarkable Work of italian Consid- ered Well Worth the Money He Asks for it. An eight-day clock whittled out of bamboo by Constanzo Renat, of Rome, and valued at $50,000, is on exhibition in the jewelry and silverware division on the fourth floor of the Bush Ter- tinal sales building, says the New York Times, Two years were re- quired to make the clock, which is made entirely of bamboo with the ex- ception of the leaden weight and two small glasses which serve as gongs. The clock, with its complicated bamboo m nnism suggesting a min- jature steel skyscraper in course of construction, stands about 7% feet high. At any time by looking at it one can tell the hour, minute and see- ond, the day of the week and the month of the year, phases of the moon, The clock strikes the hours and quarter-hours, a cane mallet forced by a cane spring striking two goblets which serve as bells. The chimes are regulated to indicate the time to those who cannot see the clock, At noon, If desired, a small flag is raised, the ratsing being preceded by a whis- tle from a bamboo tube, and one min- ute after the noon hour # cannon at the top of the clock is discharged. tit Saw the Six Hundred Ride to Death. William Richardson, a Crimean war veteran and apn eye witness to the charge of the Light brigade at as well as the Balaklava, died here recently, aged ninety years. He, with seven mem- bers of the crew of a British mer- chant vessel, deserted the humdrum sailing ship at Constantinople and en- listed in the navy with the Saucy Are- thusa. When the old wooden battle- ship was put out of action at Sebas- topol he and 55 others volunteered for land service in the Greenhill bat- tery. While at headquarters he was only about twelve feet from Lord Rag- lan when he handed an order to Cap. taln Nolan, who carried the message to Lucan, who issued the order for the charge to Curdigan.— St. Cath- arines correspondence Toronto Globe.

The census, just com- pleted, credits Brazil with 30,500000 people, which makes it the second American country In point of popula- tion, Some modern men of science tmalntain that when means have been found to utilize the heat of the sun as mechanical energy the tropics will become centers of production and therefore of civilization.

Texas Ra’ Less Rice. It is estimated that the rice acreage in Texas this season is more than 50 per cent less than that of last year. Growers assert that they lost money on thelr crop last year, due to low prites and poor marketing conditions. The Southern Rice Growers’ associa- tlon has gone out of business and its place is being taken by the American Rice Growers’ association, which is said to be patterned after the Califor- nia Fruit Growers’ association, so far as its co-operative and marketing fea- tures are concerned, Balloon Goes Higher Than Airplane. While the record altitude for air planes is broken almost every year, that for manned balloons has stood un- changed since the bailoonists Borson and Suering rose to a height of 35,400 feet above sea level at Berlin in 1901. ‘This is a little better than the best airplane record, Tractor Pads, To obtain maximum traction with minimum road damage Italian engi- neers have invented a tractor wheel on which a number of flat steel pads are held against a rim by individual springs from the hub. ss der Mensa Food Prices Show Decrease.

TO KEEP ALLIED DEBT AND BONUS SEPARATE Washington, D. C—The soldier bo- nus bill will not be made a part of the allied debt refunding bill, Chatr- man McCumber of the senate finance committee, said after a series of con- ferences between senate leaders to —— discuss the desirability of merging the two and after it became known that President Harding did not favor the suggestion that they be combined. President Harding does not look with favor on the suggestion before senate republican leaders that the bonus and the allied debt refunding bill should be combined. Although the merger plan was originally re- ceived favorably by a number of sen- ate leaders, the president was said to regard it as impractical and his view was reflected in the further con- ferences between senate leaders, He was represented, however, as not hostile to the suggestion that the interest or principal of the allied loans be used for paying the bonus once they were available. The president, however, was said to regard as impractical a suggestion that over §400,000,000 in the hands of the allen property custodian be used for bonus payments. These funds, it was stated, were regarded as pledged technically to private individuals whose property was taken, DEFENSE PACT APPROVED British Agree to Military Ald if Bel. glum Is Attacked.

He added that Italy would send out invitations to the Genoa conference and expressed the belief that the Uai- ted States would be represented. Referring to the facilities for the payment of war debts granted by Great Britain on 16,000,000 pounds loaned to Belgium, he expressed the hope that the United States would follow Britain's example, as the Bel- gian debt amounted to $16,000,000,000.
