Cupy Further Strategic Points
BY ROBERT J. BENDER.

Paris, Feb. 11.-President Wilson
planned today to leave Friday for
Brest, preparatory to sailing for the
United States. There was a posi-
bility, however, that his steamer might

dents party, it was learned, will in

dor Jusserand, Italian Ambassador Gel

which Wilson is chairman.

ter will be referred to the supreme eco
nomic council for handling in connec-

tice provisions. The war council was
also expected to consider Marshal
Foch's plan for further military demon
strations, such as occupation of other
strategic points, to insure compliance
with the armistice.

NOT LEAGUES AFFAIR.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE peace settlement
need not wait for establishment of the
league of nations. Inasmuch as it is
not the leagues business to determine
the terms of peace, Foreign Secretary
Balfour declared in an interview with
British and American correspondents.
Balfour said that no one could tell
exactly when peace will be signed.
Asked specifically If he thought it
would be concluded by April /. he re-
piled that he believed that date was
rather over -sanguine.
In reply to question as to how Ger
many can pay indemnities if she is not
allowed to recuperate her industries he
said that Geramny's recuperation
should not be at the expense Of France
and Belgium, but that at is nobody's s
interest that Germany should become
a derelict nation
Balfour said he believed the ques-
ton of freedom Of the seas will disap-
pear with organization of the league
of nations. under which all will enjoy
that privilege, except bandit nations"
SINISTER PURPOSE.
Discussing the question of repara-
ton, Balfour said evidence presented
to the conference indicated that Ger
many's destruction of French indus
trial plants was unnecessary from a
military standpoint. but instead
served a doubly sinister purpose
first, that of putting French industry
behind in comparison with the Ger
mans. and second. that of forcing
France after the war to buy machin-
cry from Germany which would thus
furnish additional employment for
thousands of Germans.
While he favored the principle of
Germany handing over to Great Brit
ain the shipping she has destroyed, ton
for ton. Balfour said he did not know
whether she had sufficient tonnage for
such a program.
The foreign secretary believed that
the league of nations would come into
existence only after the treaty Is
signed because the questions of bound
aries and other matters must first be
settled He said he was a firm be-
lever in protectorates which have not
yet received sufficient attention be-
cause they are subordinated to the
league.

The Mississippi Corn Club boy

paragraph:
I'm June, 1917, Frank McGee, a
16-year-old boy of Louisville,
Miss, invested $9.45 in a pig,
This pig is valued at 500, and has
produced 36 pigs, which Frank
sold for $500. From her off
springs, LOO pounds of meat
were butchered at home. Valued
at 20 cents pound the meat was
worth $3.50. He still has II pigs
which he can sell for $500. So the
total income from an investment
Of $9.45 is $500. It cost Frank
$15I25 to feed these pigs, so his
net gain is $668.75. Frank has
missed three days from school in
two years. Next year he will go to
the Agricultural College at Starks-

ment will pay for his college

now being made to depress and
send the price Of cotton to the
bottom. In spite of the fact that
cotton goods have greatly advanc-

twenty dollars to Twenty-Five dol
lars bale. Today the staple,
measured by the price of manu-
featured cotton goods is intrinsi-
cally worth more than thirty-five
cents per pound and even at that
price it is the cheapest commodity
