declaring that the success Of the

Argentina claims the principle that

The speaker referred to the treaty
negotiated by Chile and Argentina in
1902 for arbitration between the two
countries, and to the fact that at in

defended the principle Of obligatory
arbitration.
How far the principle Of open dis

brought into contest for the first time
in a sharp debate two Of the chief
figures among the delegates. Lord
Robert Cecil, representing South

of the committees as well as of the

French delegation stoutly defended
the parliamentary tradition of private
committee work. with subsequent pub
lication of the minutes. His view pre-
vailed after prolonged discussion.
Lord Robert pleaded strongly that

of full openness Of discussion when

came up.
NJ. Viviani pointed out that all
precedents were to the contrary.
A compromise finally was reached
between the two. whereby the COM

President-elect Harding may be far

things going on, nevertheless during his
absence which indicate clearly the de-
termination of Warren Harding to keep
the party harmonious and to keep him.

the advice and counsel Of the former

In the second place, Senator Hard

friends that he doesn't want the re-
publican campaign committee to ac-
sise in making up the deficit Of 81.

free from obligation implicit or ex-

chairman. hasn't had such an easy
time preserving harmony inside the
ranks as the outside world may have

republicans cloze to Harding that the
original scheme OF placing $1,000
limit on contributions. suggested by
Mr. Hays, was both impractical ana
unwise since the democrats had placed
no such limitation on themselves. ana
since the end Of the campaign would
surely find the party facing deficit
that would have to be made up by
rich men. This, the original Harding

Harding in an awkward position. he

such contributors approach him with

Harding wouldn't feel comfortable in
turning down the request. for he rec
opnizes service to the party. The fact
Of the matter is. Senator Harding
does not want few rich men to
make up the deficit. He wants it
made up somewhat as the campaign
fund itself was collected.
II is therefore, understood to be his
v;sh that ali contributions of $500 or

WHAT TO PAY CORN HUsKERs
Plan Outlined to Bring About .
Fair Understanding.

In an interview with County
Agent l.. p. Reeve yesterday it was
learned that local farm bureau mem
bers are in communication with bu-
reaus in surrounding counties and
the state federation concerning the
matter of wages for corn huskers.
Time is not far distant when corn
will be ready for picking and some
definite and countrywide wage must
be agreed upon.
In past years the action of the
farm bureaus in this direction has
been a great accomplishment as
proper understanding have been
reached by both employer and en-
ployee. This year the farm bureau
will follow its usual policy and a
fair kage for the corn husking will
be paid

YOUNG MAN WINS HONORS
Parents Resided in Lincoln Township
Before Moving to the West.

w. w. Perrine, of this city has
recently received word from the
west that his brothers boy, son of
S. L. Perrine. former resident Of
Lincoln township, has won signal
honors in the athletic world. The
young man took part in the athletic
games in Antwerp, where is still on
tour of Belgium. Referring to the
honors the young man has won, the
newspaper at Nezperce,. Idaho,
gives the following account:
More than 100 of the leading
athletes of the country were select
ed to represent the United States in
the Olympic games at Antwerp last
month. The selections were based
almost entirely upon showing made
in the final trials at the Harvard
stadium. The distribution of hon
ors in the 81 events covers the en-
tire country. Most of the athletes
were young college men who have
won varsity letters during the pres
ent or recent years.
Leon Perrine, son of Mrs. S. L.
Perrine, of Nezperce, and we'll known
athletic leader of the Idaho Univer-
sity student body, won fourth place
N the Pentathlon event in the nation
al tryouts, (Which event covers five
lending features demonstrating the
allaround athlete) and is one of the
five western college men to qualify
for the world track events at Ant
werp, Belgium, during the month of
August, and he is one of the 142
men selected to represent the United
States.
Nezperce has long led in school
athletics in the Lewistown country,
but not until recently did it dawn
upon this community that one of it's
sons was n promising contender for
not only "atoinal but world honors
in the fell Of athletic sports. Since
then the 80 ivities of Leon Perrine
have been watched with growing in
terest by our people, as we'll as by
all lovers OF clean sports in the
northwest.
The achieve ents of this fine
young man will bring his old home
town more into Tublic notice than
those of any ind'r-'dr3l she has ever
ever sent into the world, and that he
will be honored here accordingly goes
without saying"

miles east of Iowa City Wednesday
night. AS the two men boarded the
train, the handcuffed prisoner surg
ed into the crowd and made his es-
cape. Two shots from the sheriff's
pistol failed of their mark. Posses
were formed and an all night search
failed to find any trace of the man.
Bloodhounds from Iowa City failed
to pick up the trail. 1t is believed
he may have climbed the rods be-
meath the train and escaped in that
way.

Strike is Called Off

A mediation committee from the
Cedar Rapids federation of labor on
Sunday night forced the striking
street car men to call off the strike
which has tied up the street car SER
vice in Cedar Rapids since last Fri
day night. The men Immediately
went to their barns and signed an
agreement to report for duty at 4
o'clock Monday morning. The strik-
ers were informed by the mediators
that unless the strike was immedi-
ately called off they would be de-
clared outlaws and the charter Of
their union forfeited. The company
announced Monday that one man cars
would be operated and that employ
ment would be furnished fifty-four
men leaving fifty out of jobs. Ced-
ar Rapids manufacturers promised to
provide these men with work at once.

Iowa Land Sell High

AONa SUI
Land sales have been slow during the
past few months but in spite of the
fact a sales record was made last
week in Carrall county. Marsh
Bunting sold or traded a quarter sec
ton farm on the Lincoln Highway
between Glidden and Carroll for
1925 per acre. f. c. Brubaker, of
Carroll was the purchaser. 1t is re-
ported that Mr. Bunting accepted
some business buildings in Carroll
as part payment on the place. These
buildings were priced at $26 900.
The price for these buildings may
be a little strong, but even at that
it will be conceded that Mr.. Bunting
has established record breaking
price in this sale. So far $425 per
acre has been the record price for
quarter section farm.
This farm lies in what is known
as Storm Creek marsh. For years
ii was a paradise for duck hunters.
And for years it was regarded as
valueless. Less than ten years ago
it was purchased by a party from
Illinois for $50 an acre. Many Of
the people in the neighborhood
figured this fellow a sucker. He
made fortune out or the deal. A
big drainage ditch did the work.
Now this land is wonderfully pro-
ductive. It's price has gone for
ward by leaps and bounds.
Chicken Ate Butchers Diamond.
A most interesting story has come
from Davenport that is of great
deal of interest on account Of its be-
ing so unusual.
II L. Walbourre, of Davenport is
a butcher, a wealthy butcher il you
please. He wears a diamond ring,
a sparkler worth 5000. The butch
err bought $50 chickens the other
day. He put them in a coop behind
his shop. AS he fastened the gate
he scratched his hand on the wire
fence-so he thought.
Later in the day Walbourne glanc-
ed at his finger ring. The diamond
was gone. The setting was empty.
He looked everywhere. No spark
Ter could be found.
II must have knocked it out
wire fence" he concluded. He
when l scratched my hand on the
