CYST SAYS PLENTY
 OF MOISTURE IN GROUND

Montgomery, July 24,-(Special.a-- Due to rains which have fallen in the past week, the entire state now has about enough moisture for presen; needs according to F. W. Gist, state and federal agricultural statistician. His report for the past week con tinues.
 Reports of weevil damage con- tinue, and the number present is still unusually large in most sections. Corn has been much benefited by he rains and the younger portion of the crop is now expected to yield splen- ddly. There have been heavy plant ings of beans and peas to take the place of short yields of old corn. Re ports recently received give some eE- couragement along financial lines, indicating that but fraction over half the cotton held from last year in the state is hypotnecated for ad- vances Some measure of indebted ness besides secured loans of course exists, but the fact that practically half the unsold cotton is free from collateral obligation shows some bet ter condition than was thought to exist Pastures have been freshened by the rains and milk production has picked up while all classes have im- proved in flesh.

President Attends
 Impromptu Services In GroUe Near Camp
By Associatnd Pre.n

Big Pool, Md, July 24.-President Harding ended his camping expedi- ton today with Sabbath devoted to rest and divine worship.
 The President attended impromptu church services held in a little grove adjoining the camp where he and Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey s. Firestone and Bishop William F. Anderson of the Methodist Episcopal church had roughed 1t over night. piano brought from Hagerstown. 20 miles away, furnished the music and Bishop Anderson officiated.
 Until he left camp late in the aft. ernoon to return to Washington, MT. Harding did not go outside the camp limits except for a short horseback ride during the morning.
 Mounted on one of MT. Frestones S members of the party rode across knee deep creek, took a turn through the woods on the other bank and then went to country >store nearby, where the President telephoned to the White House. He inquired about Mrs. Harding, who is ill, and received reassuring reports concerning her.
 Although he retired early last night the President was one Of the last in camp to be up for breakfast this morning. He slept soundly, in the Sx5 tent provided for his ac- commodation and arose apparently much refreshed.
 The experience here has provided him with his first real opportunity for seclusion out of doors since he entered the White House.
 During the morning there was moment of excitement in the camp when a big supply truck caught fire from the gasoline range which formed part of it's equipment. When discovered, the flames had nearly reached the gasoline tank and threat ened to endanger dozen limousines, in which the party had come into camp.
 The sensation was short lived, however, forscamp attaches quickly formed themselves into a fire com pany and put out the blaze with fire extinguishers and water from the creek.
 During the church services, while the President and his companions were seated in camp chairs in a little circle about Bishop Anderson small of people from the sur rounding country assembled ana were invited to take part. After ward the President shook hands with each of them and they gave hlm three cheers before the gathering broke up.
 Bishop Anderson took the prayer, Thy Kingdom Come" for his text, pre- aching a sermon in advocacy or brotherhood, and pralslng President Harding's proposal Tor on disarmament.

Washington, July 24.-(Special.)- The Senate finance committee, with

 thursday
 However. there is nothing to indi- cate that any sste will be employed in its enactment. It Is more than even bet that the revision of taxation as not even been undertaken by the ouse committee. There Is strong probability that the Fordney bill will not be in the hands of the President before the beginning of the regular session in December. and it is re- Aarded as possible that its final en- actment will be delayed until after tae new year.
 The Senate Is said to be aware that The bill is unscientlfic, and that it's rttes, when considered in the light of American valuations. are higher than the Payne-Aldrich bill, the iuiquitous effects of which swept the republicans out of power It is q certainty that the Senate commit tee will rewrite it from beginning to end
 The Five Amendments
 The republicans of the House didn't want the bill. This was shown by the readiness with which they lent aid to the democrats Tn the only in stances in which they could exert autonomy. For the protection of the bsll, the rules committee brought forth 1and>secured the adoption of ag rule under which the bill could Be amended only five times. It was amended five times.
 Representative Fordney was admit tedly deeply chagrned that the rank and file would not stand with him snd by him. He saw hides restored to the free list. He saw southern democrats refuse to swallow his bait respecting a duty on cotton. He saw his plans for protecting petroleum smashed beyond redemption. His strategy respecting asphalt was un- availing. And to cap the climax. he saw his right-hanc bower Represent tative Longworth of.

DEMONSTRATES FEASIBILITY OF BANKING COMPANY

Washington. July (Special)-- Southern abankers who, during
 meeting of the American Bankers association in Washington some months ago, among them having been Col Tom O. Smith of Birmingham. R. J. Maddox of Atlanta, and others. organized the Federal International company of New Orleans for the ex- portation of cotton to foreign coun- tries, have demonstrated the feasibil- ity of their proposition.
 The company has the confidence of Washington. Eugene Meyers, Jr., head of the war finance corporation. Is so completely convinced of it's stability that he has already agreed to make an advance of S1,250.0O0 for the exportation of 25,00O bales of cotton. He announces, further. that he has agreed to advance a total of $5,00O,O00 to finance the exportation Of l00,o00 bales of cotton through the federal international company of New Orleans.
 long credit, and the producers, in the meantime, financed by the company. The company was organized with d capital of s7000.000, of which s315o,- O00 has already been paid in Many banks of the south have subscribed to the capital stock,
 The announcement of the war fi- nance corporation includes this para graph: This business Is the result of the exchange of telegrams published some time ago. It is anticipated that if the demand for accommodation de Velops with the maturing of the new crop, the financing done through this banking corporation may be extended on even larger scale"
 The war finance corporation has extended help in other enterprises of the south and has, apparently justi- fled the hope and confidence of those members of Congress who caused it 10 function again despite the oppo- sition of the preceding administra- tion, and it's advisers.

BELIEVE JAPAN
 READY ID JOIN IN CONFERENCE
PubIicists Stress Necessity of Creating a Permanent Understanding With
 United States
By Associated Press

1 Tokio, July 23.-The belief pre- vails in diplomatic circles here that the reply of the United States to Japan's query as to the nature and scope of the questions to be dis cussed at the proposed conference on Far Eastern questions and disarma- ment, which is understood to be of a nature to reassure Japan as to the objects of the conference, will be fol- lowed by an intimation by Japan that she will accept participation in the Far Eastern discussions.
 It is believed here that Japan also has received from the allies word that they do not interpret the pro- posed conference as in any way d- rected against the interests of Ja- pan. It is considered unlikely the participants will be able definitely to arrange the agenda before an off cial assembling of the congress, for which the Washington administra- tion apparently desires to issue invi- tations as soon as possible
 Therefore the diplomats here ex- press the opinion that Japan may accept with reservations and main tain perfect freedom without being committed in advance to any line of action.
 Will Hasten Solution
 The more moderate tone of public discussion of the subject in Tokio would appear to indicate that word has been passed emi-offically to consider the situation calmly and Gispassionately. To whatever posi- tion the relations of Japan and the United States have been tending, it is generally believed here the forth coming conference will hasten a so- luton. This belief is taken to ex- plain the intensity and carefulness with which Japans statesmen are addressing themselves to the new in- ternational situation.
 Publicists are reverting to their original viewpoint as to the impera- tive necessity for the creation of permanent and practical understand ing with America, which they now deem more urgent than ever because the uncertainty surrounding the fu- ture of the alliance with Great Brit tain. In all circles here the difficult ties in the way of attaining an ac- cord on armaments and the more thorny questions of policies appar- ently are realized. but in responsible quarters the feeling is that Japan must participate in the conference for her own good.
 Up to United States
 Kotar Mochizuki, member of the House of Representatives and diplo- matic expert of the Kense- Kai, or opposition party, who has been fre- quent visitor to the United States, concludes a series of articles on ri valry in the Pacific and the risk of war" by declaring that Japan con siders America's expansion of sea power and increased Qualifications menace to her safety. solution of the Pacific problems, hinges on whether the United States will rec ognize the rational and legitimate development of Japan in the Far East, in return for Japans recogni- tion of the Monroe Doctrine as de- fining the special position of the United States in the two Americas.

 Penrose States Facts
 There is no question but that the completion of the bill will be long delayed. Respecting the other ob- ject of the President in calling an extraordinary session, the eneact- ment of a bill revising the scheme of taxation, another failure is cer- tain. It has been pointed out in this correspondence repeatedly that taxes could not be reduced--that any re- vision would be simply a juggling. Democrats have repeatedly made statements to that effect. And now senator Penrose has boldly stated the facts. He declares that he can see no hope for tax reduction.
 The republicans have General Dawes impressing the people with the idea that he is saving them money. And they are issuing state ments that they would reduce taxes but for inherited indebtedness--an they refer to the shipping board. But the fact remains that they promised to make the reductions. They appar- enty fear the elections next year.
