Club Bows Retaining Land.
FRIDAY, MAY Fl. 1920.

Chester Hicks, of Hamilton Coun-
ty. Joined the corn club in 1916. The
only available acre of land he had
was at the foot of hillside and had
wash across it. He hauled oak
leaves and put on the land and filed
up the wash as best he could.
AS result of his work he made
los bushels of corn, won a one
horse wagon, a turning pillow and
$1,000.
The following year Chester put
into practice a system of crop rota
tion by sowing the land to crimson
clover, turning it into the soil, and
then growing a crop of peas.
In 1918 this same acre was used
in the corn club and the yield was
81 bushels, the season being less ia
vorable than in 1916.
Last year another crop of cowpeas
was grown and the vines turned
under. More leaves were also ap-
piled and eorn will be grown on the
acre again this year.
Chester is using Hickory King
corn and says he is going after 100
bushels again this season. His work
in building up this acre of land is
very commendable, and the time is
soon coming when reclamation meth
DDS must be applied to large areas of
our present farm lands to check
erosion from winter rains.

Louis J. Malvy, close friend, was

Caillaux resigned. Malvy, it will be
remembered. was later accused of high
treason and tried in 1918 before the
Senate High Court. The treason charge
was improved, but Malvy, a radical-so-
cialist was convicted of other offenses
and sentenced to five years Punishment
from France. He is now an exile in
Spain. Through Malvy it is alleged
Caillaux directed affairs so that the
Vaccinations charged against him
could be carried on.
Caillaux was suspected of heading a
pacifst, movement having as its object
a reconciliation between France and
Germany. suspicion which became all
the more serious by reason of the fact
that German spies were everywhere in
France and were believed to have pene-
trated into the councils of the govern
ment. The "defeatist" propaganda, in
tended to break down the morale of
the French people by leading them to
believe Germany was invincable, had
wide ramifications.1 1t reached from
Paris to Rome and from Rome to
Washington and Buenos Aires. Count

OUR OIL SUPPLY.

The war brought US face to face with
the fact that We were sadly behind the
other countries In the development of the
Rirplane in spite Of tho fact that it was
FIRST demonstrated as feasible in this
country. Others had seen the possibili-
tics OF e and gone ahead and developed
them while We were sitting idly BY twirI-
Ing our thumbs
Il cannot be said that we have not
given due consideration TO the possibili-
ties Of oil or failed to develop the oil
Fields Of this country, but It is a ques-
ton whether we have undertaken to
safeguard ourselves In regard to an oil
supply In keeping with steps that have
been taken by Great Britain for in
stance.
When It is told TO the senate in re-
Spouse 20 a request for information that

The oil supply OF the world. that 40 per
cent Of its producing fields have become
exhausted and that the remaining re-
serves are not expected to last 20 years
i becomes evident in view Of the rapid
increase IN the consumption Of oil each
year that there Is cause for concern and
that this country should display the
needed interest in protecting its futur,
supply.
Il Is well that attention should b

ANOTHER UNpERsrANn1NG.

The Importance of reaching an under
standing among themselves regarding
certain phases of the treaty of peace is
recognized by the meeting of the pre-
miers of Great Britain and France at
Hythe for the purpose of talking over
and determining what the amount should
be that Germany should pay in the way
Of an indemnity. AS it has stood since
the treaty was accepted by Germany
there has been no definite sum named,
that being left to be settled later when
it could be figured up. The necessity of
agreeing upon the sum, how it should be
paid and whether certain priority claims
that were presented by France should be
agreed to make the session at Hythe adj
visable. and the outcome seems to have
brought about that very understanding
that was sought.
AS the result Of this session there will
be a definite programme with which to
face the German delegates at Spa next
month at which time they will be asked
to approve the sum fixed. 1t is not to be
supposed that Germany will accept the
plan without substantial protest II
is to be expected that 1t will claim that
it cannot pay the 10000, 600, 900 which
the premiers have agreed upon. Whether
1t can or not It will have a chance tc
prove unquestionably, and IL It can pre-
sent such a strong case as to convinc,

rather than pleas that any cuts ar,

But more than fixing the amount Ger
many should pay, the French and Brit
ish premiers came to an understanding
relative to the French priority claims
