Council Defers Action

The supporters of the league antici- pated action by the council on the Persian appeal for intervention as the first practical test of it's power to set tie international disputes. but the council. after two days secret delibera- tion. concluded that it was desirable, in order to give every opportunity for success of the exchanges now going on between Teheran and Moscow, to await the fulfillment of MoScow'S declared intentions before determining the man. ner of bringing the leagues machinery into play.
 Lord Curzon. British foreign secre- tary, bringing up the subject at the public meeting today at St. James palace said the council had rendered it's sympathy to the. Persian govern ment in the difficult position in which it had been placed and agreed that it had done right in opening discussions with the Russians.
 Sir Eric Drummond, regarding send ing an investigating commission to Russia announced that the council could do no more than note Moscow s refusal of May 26 to receive such a commission. The grounds for this refu- sal were stated in the soviet reply to the councils first request for permission to investigate the country, when the soviet foreign minister, M. Tchitcher- in, said that f'the question of safety prevented it from receiving the com mission until the situation created by the Polish offensive had taken more favorable turn"

grown up together. as the Kauff-
MAINS and the Hoys-Mr. and Mrs.
John S. Hoy-have gone to Camp
Percy in the White Mountains every
summer for years.
She's an extraordinarily pretty lit

that the wedding will come of soon.
Unfortunately it will probably take
place in Albany, and Washington
will have few of the thrills which
it experienced over the wedding OF
his brother. Phil Kaufman, and
Miss Nancy Lane last spring.

And now here's Il really thrilling
bit OF news-Congressman and Mrs
Thetus w. Sims are today announc-
ing the engagement of their daughter.
Miss Marie Sims, to Edward Garrett
Riddick. son of T. X Riddick. of
Memphis, Tenn. No date is being set
for the wedding. as Mr.. Sims is away
at present and his daughter naturally
doesn't want to make definite plans
without consulting him; but it will
certainly take place during the COM
ing winter.
And then wen lose one OF our pref
test and most popular girls, for Mr.
Riddick lives in Memphis and 1t is
there he will take his bride. The an
nouncement can't be said to be much
of a surprise. for the fact that Miss
Sims was engaged leaked out while
she was abroad last summer, only the
identity of the lucky man being a bit
yelled in mystery. 1t seems that Miss
Sims met her fiance four or five years
ago when she was visiting in Mem
phis He pursued the acquaintance dur
ing a summer that she spent on Sig
nal mountain-and now there's an
other wedding on the carpet.

certainly the most important func-

It's to be a stag dinner at the Pan

The Daughters of the American
Revolution streamed into town last

daren't tell you how many gar

Complaint IS registered by farmers
OF Woodstock and other OUTLYING

actions of some of the people from

demeanor denotes that they feel that
anything that grows by the roadside,

The complaint is, that it is unpleas-

farmer who fertilizes and sprays his
trees, to find that people do not hest

of his money and energy invested. 1t
Is stated that it is no uncommon sight
to find an automobile drawn up beside

find, often filing bags or baskets as if
the property was theirs of right.
