Of Course Congregation Could Get Away, But He Had the Minister
 in Tight Place.

There was bad blood between the parish clerk and the minister of cer- tain country church. Neither of them ever missed chance of getting bit of his own back.
 One Sunday the clerk had a special invitation out to church with q friend after The evening service. whereupon he asked the minister if he would mind keeping his sermon short.
 It was too good chance to- miss. The minister took few deep breaths, and preached for one hour and qmm92,ii'- ter by the clock. er-< 4--.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 REVIEWS 4 PARADE
TAKES SALUTES FROM MARCH
 ING VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS.

Washington President Wilson. i'll nearly a year ago, reviewed pa rade. Seated in wheel chair on the east portico of the White House, the president saw members of the Veter ans of Foreign Wars march in their annual encampment parade.
 The president reached the position offering the best view of the line of march early, and while waiting for the parade Mrs. Wilson read to him. The executive responded to the sa- lutes of the passing veterans and to the passing of the national colors by lifting his hat.
 After passing the White House the parade continued down Pennsylvania avenue to the east steps of the capi- tol, where it was reviewed by General Pershing, under whom many of the marchers fought in France. Secre- tary Daniels with Maj. Gen. LeJune, commandant of the Marine Corps, also were in the reviewing stand, and the latter addressed the veterans.
 A company of marines still i'll the service, another of the regular army and small detachment of bluejack- cts marched at the head of the line i but the remainder of the parade was made up of those who left the voca- tions of private life for the occasion
 More than 500 posts were represent. ed While a great majority of the marchers had earned their right to membership in the organization by their fighting against Germany, there were many who had fought in Cuba in the Philippines, China and the minor military engagements between ] United States troops and those oI 1 foreign countries. Hundreds had put on the old uniforms, and certain dis 1 tinctive costumes characterized oth CTS notably touch of Chinese dress for those who participated in the Boxer campaign.
 The wounded rode near the head of the parade in automobiles and trucks while near the end of the procession were nurses who worked in the hospi tals of France Floats commemorat ing the worh Of the Red Cross and welfare organizations were the last i in line.

FRENCH PRESIDENT
 SAID TO HAVE QUIT
DEScHANEE'S RESIGNATION RE- PORTED AS BEING IS MIL-
 LERAND'S HANDS.

Paris-President Paul Deschanel has resigned Premier Millerand, now at Ak les Bains, already is in possession of the written document and he will return to Paris soon. The cabinet will assemble immediately af- ter the premier's arrival to discuss the resignation and to consider his successor.
 News reached Paris confirming earlier dispatches which said that President Deschanel, realizing that his case was hopeless so far as as suming the duties of his office was concerned, has decided to resign.
 In the meantime official France is at standstill No dccrees, laws or agreements can be put into effect and for example, the recently adopt ed Franco-Belgian treaty is held in abeyance.
 Premier Millerand is said to be anxious that an election be not held until after the peace problem has been disposed of and to be jockeying for an opportune moment for presentation to the cabinet of M. Deschanefs res ignation. If an election is imminent it is believed here that the Bourgeois will offer a strong candidate.
 Much activity among the extreme right of the French cabinet, which in cluded the urgent summoning to Paris at once of each member has given rise to startling rumors of possible monarchist coup.
 These rumors are to the point that the extreme right, which showed a substantial gain in the last election seeks to use the election as a step ping stone in an attempt to change the regime with Raoul Peret as presi | dent until chamber is elected and i coup for restoration of the Duke dOrleans is perfected. 1t IS believed the military hierarchy would solidl! support tais scheme through fears oi Bolshevism ana their desire to main tain strong army against the Ger man menace.

DR. WEBER TELLS OF SEED BREEDING
BIC CROWD HEARS THE FAMOUS ADMINISTRATORS LONG
 STAPLE COTTON.
GIN DEGENERATION COSTLY
There Is No Real Danger of overpro- duction of Long Staple Variety Discusses Question of Plant
 Selection.

Little Rock. There is no real ground for fearing an overproduction of long staple cotton, Dr. H. J. Web Der of Hartsville, S. C., declared in his address before the Little Rock Ro- tary Club.
 Drawn by the name of Dr, Webber generally considered the world S greatest commercial seed breeder, a great crowd gathered to near him.
 Dr. Webber said that it would be Impossible for Egypt, Peru, California or Arizona to greatly increase their cotton crops and that the increase in long staple cotton must come from the central United States. He said that while there might be tempo rary slackeing iT the demand for sOng staple cotton at the present mo ment, he was confident that the long staple industry had everything before st He said that the handling of long cotton producers should try to be spe- cialists and to produce a high grade article of cotton.
 ''If you want to breed fast horses, you select a stallion whose progeny have proven their speed" ne said. -If you want to produce high yielding dairy cows. you select bull whose offspring have proven themselves large milk producers. It is exactly the same way with seed. You select a plant which proves it's abilities to transmit its qualities to it's seed"
 Dr. Webber declared that in good cotton there is almost no variation in the height of plants in an entire field. However, he said that no matter how carefully the seed is bred and select ed. there will be some plants that are partially sterile. If seed from these plants is planted, it will reduce yields and this, he said, is the reason for continual seed selection.
 or this degeneration he said that not more than five per cent is due to crossing. Gin degeneration is the most prolific cause, he declared, and he said that gin degeneration is the base of the cotton country Tests have proven that it requires the run ming through or seven or eight bales to clean the gins, he said.
 There will be frequent reyersions no matter how carefully the seed is selected he said. No cotton will hold up indefinitely"
 For this reason he advised planters to secure high bred seed frequently, either by breeding it themselves or buying it. If planter intends to make a speciality of long-staple cot ton. Dr. Webber advised securing new seed every other year
 In selecting plants for seed, Dr. Webber said that the breeder should go through the fields with a comb, picking out plants with an even length staple. He said that Sne breeder must select good plants with large ooils that are highly productive, that open we'll and that are easy to pick.
