Dear Aunt Jane:

Dear Aunt Jane:
First of all | must tell you about my
big disappointment. You know, told
you that had asked Miss Tucker, our
Home Demonstration Agent, TO come
out to our house and hold meeting
there to organize Homemakers'
Club as she had done at DeI.assus and
Fairview and number of other places.
! telephoned round to all the neigh
bors and spoke to those ! saw to urge
them to come, but when Miss Tucker
got there, she found only three wom-
en- besides myself. She gave US very
interesting talk about home convent
ences and flies, and we had the incest
time, but / was so disappointed that
did not enjoy the afternoon at all. Miss
Tucker tried to cheer me up, put I'm
afraid she did not make as much
success of it as she would have liked.
But to turn to more cheerful things,

NEWS NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT
Fifty Boys and Girls of st. Francois
County to Raise Pure Bred Pig
or Calf

or Calf
Fifty boys and girls have enrolled
in the st. Francois County Pig and
Calf Club up to date. These young
folks are entering the contest with the
greatest enthusiasm and each one is
planning to walk away with big
lump of the $500 in cash to be arward-
ed to pig and calf club winners at the
Annual Boys and Girls Club Fair to be
held at Pennington in the autumn. 1t
is the plan of the County Agent to
have five different county clubs as
follows: Holstein Calf Club; Jersey
Calf Club, and Hereford Calf Club;
Duroc Jersey Pig Club and Poland
China Pig Club. The Duroc Jersey
Pig Club and the Hereford Calf Club
are proving to be the most popular
clubs and constitute about one-half
of the total membership. The pigs
and calves will be purchased the COM
ing week and distributed at an early
date. Memberships to the different
clubs are still coming in and it is hard
to estimate the number of members
we will eventually have.
Shall Cut the Oats or the Alfalfa?
The County Agent had rather uni
que request for advice recently when
Mr.. C. B. Denman, one of our promin-
ent farmers living south of Farming
ton, asked that he come out and look
at field of oats and alfalfa and tell
him which to cut. The alfalfa was
seeded with the oats last March. The
oats have made remarkable growth
and would be considered better than
the average crop but the remarkable
part is the excellent growth the al
falfa has made. In numerous places
it is actually as high as the oats and
the stand is even throughout the IT,
acre field. Needless to say, this field
is quite fertile. Mr.. Denman's herd
of Hereford cattle and an application
of raw rock phosphate three years
ago, have done much toward nal<ing
it so. Mr.. Denman plans to cut his
oats as high as possible and then later
harvest crop of alfalfa from the
stubble.

liabilities and the safety of foreign
capital invested in Russian enter
priSes.
The statement declared that the
greatest obstacle to immediate re-
sumption of commercial activity in
the part of Russia free from bolshe-
vik rule was the collapse of the mon
etary system brought about by the
bolshevists through the issuance of
paper currency to an amount of more
than one hundred billion rubles.
The commission further urges the
necessity of returning to Russia the
gold which was surrendered to Ger
many according to the Brest-Litovsk
treaty and later transmitted by the
Germans at the conclusion of the
armistice a. a provisional deposit to
the allies. Restitution to Russia of
merchandise delivered to the enemy
by the bolsheviki also is urged as a
part of the final peace settlement.

Americans Searched

Two members of the Young Mems
Christian Association staff at Seoul
| both Americans. were taken from the
street in front of their building to a
room inside and subjected to a per
sonal search because they were sus-
pected Of having been handed a copy
of the proclamation by Korean on
the street The search was unre-
warded and the men were released.
An Associated Press correspondent
at Seoul. writing under date of March
3. gave an account received from an
eyewitness of what took place in
Pyengyang. the second city of i'm
portance in Korea Saturday, March
l, was designated by the Koreans for
memorial services to honor the for
mer Emperor Ye Tsi-Wan, whose fu-
neral was set for March 3. Koreans
| had desired the rites to be according
to their national customs, but it was
| announced by authorities the Shinto
rites would be observed. This was
said to have angered many.
Several Christian pastors and
church officers were present at the
services. After an address, Pastor
Kim Sun-Du. moderator of the Cen
eral Assembly (of the Presbyterian
Church) asked the audience to remain
after the memorial exercises which
diction.
Then Chung Il-Sun. helper in the
Fifth Church. took the platform and
said he had an important communi-
cation to read. He said it was the
happiest and proudest day Of his life
and that, though he died tomorrow
he could not but read this. There
was a great cheer from the audience.
Reads Declaration.
He then, proceeded to read what
was virtually a declaration of politi-
cal independence for the Korean peo-
pie. After he finished another man
took the floor and explained just what
the people were expected to do, say
ing that nothing of an unlawful ma
ture or resistance to authority was
to be permitted in the least, but that
the people were to follow the in
structions given and make no re-
sistance to the authorities nor attack
the Japanese people or officials.
In all the cases of arrest and al
legged assault by japanese civilians. as
we'll as soldiers and police. this eye
witness said. no instance OF resistance
by a Korean was reported. Many
young girls who Joined the parade at
Seoul were dragged out, tied up and
beaten across the shoulders with the
scabbord of police swords, in public
view. Rough handling and brutal
treatment of prisoners. and often of
innocent bystanders. not only by po-
lice. but by Japanese roughs, We're
said to have added bitterness to the

CURLING OF FRENCH
DELAYS PEACE MEN
President Stands Against
Claims, Seeking Middle
Ground, Says American.
COVENANT DRAFT GROWS

PARIS. April 3.-President Wilson
ceau and Orlando continued their dis
cussion at President Wilson's resi-
dence today. Other peace conference
organizations also met. All the con-
ferences tended to unravel the tan
gled issues still standing in the way
of peace.
The meetings proceeded amid an
other wave of apprehension spreading
through the conference over lack of
any tangible results after the council
of four had labored continuously for
ten days.
This was accompanied by well
founded reports from those close N
touch with the council of four show
ing that the situation. while not deS-
perate. was at least serious. beca use
of radical differences on some funda-
mentalS in the settlement of Ger
manys western, the Franco-German
and the eastern Polish frontiers.
View of American.
One of the American experts who is
constantly being consulted on various
questions before the council gives the
following glimpse of what is going
on behind the scenes:
L he SITUATION Is extremely Ollli-
cult. particularly as regards the west
ern frontier of Germany. President
Wilson, in a conciliatory spirit, has
been willing to do most anything to
assure French security short of the
qualification of engagements made at
the time of the armistice.
The French have been assured of
every military protection along the
Rhine and for fifty kilometers east of
that river. even to the extent of con-
sidering that any military activity in
that section shall be looked upon as
a hostile act. But this is not consid-
cred enough and additional claims
lead to the conviction that they are
open to construction as meaning
something more than military secur-
1ty and verging on territorial con-
troll.
The President is not willing to go
that far in creating more Alsace-
Lorraine situations. and it is this
stand against these claims which is
causing the delays until some middle
ground is found"
Pushing Covenant Draft.
The league Of nations drafting COM
mittee has completed fifteen articles
of the league of nations covenant,
which now contains twenty-seven ar
ticles. The committee probably will
finish its draft tomorrow. which will
~ III CuSll dAo llSH III parallel
columns.
A full meeting of the league COM
mission will be held probably Satur-
day.to consider the revised covenant
which doubtless will undergo further
changes before it is submitted to the
representatives of the five big ma
tions.
The revision thus far does not cont
tain mention either of the Monroe
doctrine or the proposed Japanese
amendments. These questions will
not be disposed of until the next
meeting of the league commission.
There is a possibility that the
league of nations will have two seats,
at Geneva and at Brussels. This plan
is being considered. Although a ma
jority Of the delegates apparently
favor Geneva. King Albert's strong
appeal in behalf of Brussels is in
fuencing sentiment and the places
offered by the Swiss and the Beigians
may both be accepted and alternate
meetings arranged.
