Central America Needs Our Help in
Debt Adjustment.

0SOt HOJuottICuI.
In Central America the aim has
been to help such countries as Mica
ragua and Honduras to help them
selves. They are the Immediate bene-
fciaries. The national benefit to the
United States is two-fold. First. 1t is
obvious that the Monroe doctrine is
more vital in the neighborhood of the
Panama canal and the zone of the
Caribbean than anywhere else. There.
too, the maintenance of hat doctrine
falls most heavily upon the United
States. 1t is therefore essential that
the countries within that sphere shall
be removed from the jeopardy involved
by heavy foreign debt and chaotic ma
tional finances and from the ever-pres-
emit danger of International complica-
lions due to disorder at home. Hence
the United States has been glad to en-
courage and supper American bankers
who were willing to lend a helping
hand to the financial rehabilitation of
such countries because this fnancia
rehabilitation and the protection of
their custom houses from being the
prey of would-be dictators would re-
move at one stroke the menace Of for
eign creditors and the menace of reyo-
lutionary disorder.
The second advantage to the United
States IS one affecting chiefly all the
southern and gulf ports and the business
and industry of the south. The republics
Of Central American and the Caribbean
possess great natural wealth. They need
only a measure of stability and the means
of financial regeneration to enter upon
an era of peace and prosperity, bringing
profit and happiness to themselves and at
the same time creating conditions sure to
lead to a f~iourishing Interchange of trade
with this country.
/ wish to call you especial attention to
the recent occurrences in Nicaragua for
I believe the terrible events recorded there
during the revolution of the past sum-
mer-the useless loss of life, the devasta-
ton of property, the bombardment of de-
fenseless cities, the killing and wound
ing Of women and children, the torturing
OF on-combatan to exact contributions
and the suffering of thousands of human
beings-might have been averted had the
department of state, through approval of
the loan convention by the senate. been
permitted to carry out its now well-devel-
oped policy of encouraging the extending
of financial aid to weak Central American
states with the primary objects of avoid

those republics to rehabilitate their
finances. to establish their currency on a
stable basis, to remove the custom housss

PerIIs of OverdeIIcacy.

A bridegroom gave his best mar an
envelope.
Hand it to the parson after the
ceremony" he said, but don't do it
ostentatiously."
The best man followed instructions,
but 1t seems that he performed his
task too covertly, for the father of
the bridegroom, after the pair had
departed, believed that an omission
had occurred and quietly pressed a
banknote into the minister's hand.
But he also was too secretive about it,
and before the party broke up the
brides brother felt called upon to
draw the minister aside and thrust a
$40 bill upon him.

London.-The protocol arranging an
armistice was signed by the Turkish
and Bulgarian delegates, the latter
representing also Servia and Monte
negro. Prior to this there had been
a long sitting of the Turkish Council
of Ministers at Baghtche to consider
fresh proposals submitted by the
allies.
First-The armistice is to last four
teen days.
Second-The troops are to occupy
their present positions with the
ground between them neutral.
Third-The b~esieged cities are to be
revictualled daily and the blockades on
the Aegean and Adriatic are to be
raised.
Fourth-The armistice is to cover
all of European Turkey.
The armistice would have been
signed some days earlier but for the
fact that Greece objected to the terms
which allowed the Turks the right to
revictual Adrianople, Scutaria and ia
nina and raise the naval blockade of
the Aegean and Adriatic seas, because
this would allow Turkey to throw un-
limited supplies into Janina, which is
now besieged by the Greeks.
Servia, Montenegro and Bulgaria
thereupon told the Greeks that if they
would not shake hands with their
allies and were insistent upon holding
out they could fight on. But under
these circumstances they must fight
alone.
According to Vienna messages, Aus
tria through hurried and secret mobil-
ization has massed 100000 soldiers
around Semlin, a town in Hungary
just across the river Save from Bel
grade, the Servian capital. This, it
was said, completed Austria's prepa-
rations for possible war with Servia.
The troops, it was reported, were
heavily armed and provisioned.

Australia claims the world s record

six White Leghorns from the Red
fern Poultry Farm, Caulfield (Vic

eclipsing the Burnley record of 1866
by R. w. Pope's pen by %. The
second place was taken by Mrs. Uren,
of Kapunda, with 1919. In the
South East competition the highest
result was that of Moutz Bros.

The Redfern farm was modelled
and carried out under the advice and
supervision of the Victorian Govern
ment expert.
Although Australia leads this
country in champion laying hens, we
have at least the satisfaction of
knowing that the Australian hen was
as pooroa layer as her American sis

raisers took the matter up some
d Oxen or more years ago and import

country to breed up the native strain.
Soon after followed the laying con-

In response to many inquiries, Pro-

following statement: At this season
of the year large number of pastures
have already dried up or will soon
begin to dry up. In order to keep
up the milk flow something to help
the pastures along not only shows in

Crops that may be used for this
purpose are thousand-headed kale,

as soiling crops or as silage. Any lof

The thoughtful dairyman prepared
for this shortage of pasture by sowing
these soiling crops last spring, at
intervals of from three to four weeks,
and has them ready for the COWS at
this time. But if these special solling
crops were not sown, any green food

STALLION REGISTRATION BOARD

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, Oct 1.-THE first annual
report of the Stallion Registrati on
Board of Oregon, prepared by the
secretary, Prof. e. L. Potter, of the
Oregon Agricultural Colleges, now
off the press, and it is full of interest
ing facts.
Besides a complete directory of all
the licensed stations and jacks in the
state, classified by counties with the
names of their owners and state
ment of their breeding and any special
defects, there is table showing Just
how many of each breed there are in
each county, how many are grades,
or pure blooded. Another
table Classics the animals as to
breeding and soundness, showing the
number of each breed having SPAWN,
roaring, and other defects, total of
nine per cent unsound out of l, 135
animals.
The total number of applications
received was 1888, and of these 1, 1876

held up some because no fees we're
paid, some because of the death or
sale of the horses; lack of inspection {;
necessity of further information, or
other cause. In some cases the pedi-
grees we're found to be entirely fict1-
tious, or to have dates changed or
forgeries. Certificates Of registration
were refused them, as were also certiti-

pure bred licenses we're issued after
the foreign certificates we're present
ed, and in some other cases animals
thus listed have afterward been prop

Gates issued by S. d. Thompson,
certificates of Arabian horses and
miscellaneous unauthorized certifi-
Gates were also refused.
A large number of owners. finding
that the law barred the certificates
they held, did not present them for
registry. Some horses advertised as
pure bred had no certificates to sup
port the claim, and sometimes the
owners have tried to secure a pure
bred license without certificate. In
no case has pure bred license been
