WARNER MOORE !. MAKING A TOUR
 OF THE COUNTY
Speaks at Marmaduke Sat urday in Behalf of Mar. keting Association Move ment-Other Dates.

Warner Moore of Cleburne, Tex, who is touring Arkansas in the in terest of the Arkansas Cotton Grow ers' Cooperative Association, is spending several days in Greene county with the view to enlisting the support and general interest of the producers of. this section in that great movement While MT. Moore and his associates have not met with the enthusiasm they had an- ticipated in this part of Arkansas, the enthusiasm that is attending the organization of the plan in other sections of the south, they hope to yet get cur farmers lined up in what is being generally accepted as being one of the greatest marketing movements that was ever undertak- en.
 The Daily Press and The Soli- phone have published many reports relating to the marketing plan that is being worked out, but this par ticular section seems to have shown itself as being little slow to man ifest the interest desired. Those who are familiar with the proposed workings of the plan are confident in their belief that the association means more to the farmers than any other similar enterprise that was ever undertaken.
 Mir. Moore is one of the souths enthusiasts upon the subject and he comes from a state-Texas-wh the idea has been generally adopted and is becoming strongly establish ed. Mir Moore is associated with Mir. Ousley, very prominent farm erleader of Texas, as well as with other very prominent men who are laboring to better the marketing in terests of the producers. He is q man of strong intellect, prominent in the affairs of business, and thoroughly familiar with the sub ject of better farming. MT. Moores visit to Greene county is for the purpose of familiarizing the farm CTS with the marketing plan ana he is going to deliver a series of addresses in the county, starting Saturday afternoon at Marmaduke.
 His other appointments in the county next week are as follows: Talley School House Monday after noon. December 18th; Post Oak Knoll School House Tuesday after noon; Coffman's School House We'd nesday afternoon; Miller School House Thursday afternoon; Eight Mile School House Friday afternoon
 All farmers residing in the sec tions of the school houses named in Mir. Moore's itenerary should go out to hear him. He will have much of interest to say to them. matters with which they should be- come familiar. Leading farmers of the south have pronounced the mar keting plan being promoted as be- ing one of the most essential steps that has ever been taken in behalf of the interests of the farmer.

DELEGATES FAIL TO HEED
 CHINA'SPLEA
Appeal for Abrogation of Treaties Forced by Japan Goes Unheeded No Re- lief is Probable.

Washington, Dec. 15.-China marched LID the hill of the 21 de- mands yesterday and marched right down again.
 Her plea for tho abrogation of |treaties growing out of the demand which China signed in 1915 after Japan's ultimatum, and by grace of which Japan today holds her grip on Shantung and Manchuria, was met by a quick objection from the Japanese delegates and an adj0urn- ment of the Ear Eastern committee Isine die.
 It is true that the chairman, MT.
 Hughes, had indicated before the meeting opened that an early ad-s journment was desirable in view of lthe work to be done on the naval Eratio agreement and the outside Shantung conversations, but China's blacklist of treaties had been. cir. |culated among the delegates the might before They permitted Dr. Wang to speak for IS minutes. Dr.,
 Roo said last night that the matter
 would be pressed at the next session
 called by Mr. Hughes, but there Is little chance that resolution de- lnouncing these treaties made be- tween China and Japan -hile the
 rest of the world was engaged in Europe will ever receive serious
 considreation or even be drafted. It would mean, among other things, that Japan would have in another lyear or so to get out of Manchuria where she has invested $40O, ,O00, ,000. lit would mean that England and | France would have to denounce their town acts and that the Versailles Itreaty would be undermined. There iare other treaties, too, which would cause embarrassment to England for there is list of demands which England made upon China regard iing Thibet As this is a gentle man S conference where the United Estates is the host. and diplomatic lfictions and courtesies must come first. the slate cannot be cleaned in
 this way.
 Japan has been given to under
 stand that the American attitude re-
 garding these treaties is simply this. China's sovereignty and po- litical integrity has always been recognized by America, as we'll as that of Japan Therefore. any treaties entered into between these two states must be regarded as le- gal under international law.
