These pockets are bound with fancy
silk braid, and the same braid appears
as band on the sleeves and in

the very clever management of the

NO SHIP PROGRAM IS
TO BE PRESENTED TO
PARLIAMENT AS YET
(By The Associated Press)

London, Dec. 8 (by the Associat
ed Press No program of capital
ship construction for the navy will
be presented to parliament until
the whole question of naval
strength as effected by the latest
developments in naval warfare has
been extensively investigated by
the committee on imperial defense
and the results of such investiga
ton have been considered.
This announcement was made in
the house of commons tonight by
j. Austin Chamberlain, chancellor
of the eXchequer.
"The government has decided
and the admiralty has welcomed
the decision, that the committee on
imperial defense shall exclusively
investigate the question of naval
strength as affected by the latest
developments in naval warfare
said Mr.. Chamberlain, land will
present no program of capital ship
construction to parliament until the
result of that inquiry has been con-
sidered."
Mr. Chamberlain s announcement
was the chief outcome of the set
debate in the commons tonight
arising from big attack on the
government expenditure as waste
full and from agitation raised by
the opponents of a strong naval
policy in favor of a navy equal to
the combined navies of the United
States and Japan.

DISAPPOINTMENT OF
WILMA PLEBlSCITE
ASKED OF LEAGUE
By The Associated Press)

Geneva, Dec. 8 (by the Associat-
ed Press -Postponement of the
proposed plebiscite in the wilma re-
gion for eight months and exclu-
sion of wilma itself from the plebis-
cite area has been requested by the
Lithuanian government in a note
handed to the council of the league
of nations today.
The note sets forth that Lithu-
ania will require three months for
propaganda work. that two months
will be required for Lithuanian
elections, two for revision of the
electoral lists and one month for
the verification of the lists. The
immediate evacuation of the entire
district by the Polish troops and
those of General Zellgouski also is
requested. The note finally asks
that commission of five Poles and
five Lithuanians be appointed i'm
mediately to take up the admins
tration of the plebiscite district.
The council will consider the
note at it's next meeting, 1t was
indicated there was little POSSIBLE
ty that the delay asked would be
granted, although the original pro-
test against occupation of wilma by
an international force probably will
have the effect of putting off the
plehiScite for a while.

ENROLMENT OF CLUBS
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
IN STATE FALLS OFF

In 1919 1910 members enrolled
in boys and girls clubs and in 1920
there We're but 1.S22, a decrease of
24S members, according to a report
Of the state director.
1t IS interesting to note. howev.
err, that this decrease was due
chiefly to the clubs of minor i'm
portance, particularly gardening:
In 1919 there were 443 members
enrolled in this project while in
1920 but ninety members. The
clubs of greater importance, pig
and calf, show very material in
crease of about - per cent. 1t is
conceded that the livestock clubs
are of greater importance to the
state and work is therefore being
pushed along these lines.
The percentage of completion
this year was 743 per cent of all
members enrolled and shows an
increase of 1913 per cent over 1919.

Mr., Wilson's decision regarding

SIGNED BY THIRTY BANKERS
The 1920 Crop Has Been Produced
With Labor and Other Expenses at

In the rice industry, an agreement was
signed by about thirty bankers, which
means that they will lend every as
sistance possible In financing and car
rying maturing paper of farmers and
planters now held by these institus
tions. so that the rice will be mar
keted I'm an orderly way and in a
manner that will result In as small q

actual expense put out on the present
crop. The 1920 rice crop has been
produced with labor and other ex-
penses at the highest peak and many
farmers at the present price will not
be able to pay expenses.
The agreement entered into by
institutions Is as follows:
"First-The recent drop in prices OF
all staple commodities has carried rice
with it to point far below the cost
of production to the average farmer.
Second The 1920 rice crop has
