VIEWS OF FOREIGN OFFICES
AWAITED BY HARDING.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3-De-
termination of the date for the dis
armament conference was understood
today to rest largely in the foreign
offices at London, Paris and Toxic
The diplomatic represents ives of the
invited powers have conferred at
length with Secretary of State Hugh
es concerning the adyisability of be-
ginning the conference November II
or upon some other date, and have
in turn referred the question 10 the
respective governments. Until fur
ther instructions are received by the
am mbassadors it is expected that no
definite action will be taken.
Representatives of foreign govern
ments have made it plain, however
that they regard determination of
the agenda as far more important
than the fixing of the dates of meet
ing. They are understood to have
reported in detail to their govern
ments the desire of Secretary of
State Hughes to leave the main body
as much work as possible, but there
is increasing evidence that Japan
is not alone in her insistence that the

clearly outlined before the formal

include these items:
"Blouses will completely display

To STABILIZE
FARM PRICES
DAKOTAN WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO BUY SURPLUS CROP.

Pierre, Aug "A plan which it's
opponents claim would stabilize the
prices of farm products has recently
been presented TO the senate agricul-
tural committee ar Washington Ii
has likewise passed the lower house
of the South Dakota legislature and
been indorsed by financial and farm
ing associations.
According to Will H Lyon, of
Sioux Falls. S. D., the plans author,
IL will not only stabilize the price
Of farm products but will go farther
and stabilize business in general. TO
a great extent.
In explaining The plan Mr.. Lyons
says: The stabilization plan would
have the national government guar
antee TO farmers the average cost of
producing staple, nonperishamle.
crops. plus reasonable profit by
agreeing 10 purchase whatever sur
plus remains on hand at the end Of
the crop year, delivered at certain
central terminals and at a stipulated
minimum price
This surplus in every staple crop.
except wheat and cotton, is so small
that the amount of money required
would be Insignificant in comparison
with the value Of the entire crop.
If the surplus of any crop should
prove excessive, the stabilizing COM
mission, fairly representing both
producers and consumers. appointed
by the president, would probably re-
duce the price for the following year
and increase the price of other prod
ucts in which a shortage might ey-
ist and thereby induce our farmers
10 increase production of flax, wool.
and sugar which we now so largely
import, at a cost of several hundred
million dollars a year.
The government under the plan
must necessarily control the imports
of such products and through the
stabilizing commission would pur-
chase abroad. at the world price lev
el, any deficit required and sell IN
our manufacturers at not less than
the guaranteed price, except that in
tended for export, thereby making a
profit of the difference between the
cost and selling price. Speculation
in food products so abhorrent to the
general public would, of course. be
automatically eliminated below the
guaranteed price
Now, when the farmer succeeds
in producing a crop he does not
know whether to sell for fear the
price will go down, or hold for a
better market Knowing in advance
the guaranteed minimum price of
the various products. the farmer can
use his land and ability TO the best
possible advantage and the rental
and salable value of land will be
largely stabilized The guaranteed
minimum price, of course, should
not be made sufficiently high to in
duce speculation in farm lands Oh
produce an excessive surplus.
Under the stabilizing plan the
farmer would receive the same price
regardless of road conditions. Under
the present system the highest price
usually prevails when roads are bad
or elevators congested and delivery
is difficult or impossible When these
conditions improve, the price goes
down"

the step and fell in the road. He was

SELF RULE WILL
BE PRACTICED
ON PLAYGROUND
Discipline to Be Maintained by
Boy Leaders Who Serve
During Summer.

Self government is to be carried out on
again this year, r. Walter Jarvis, d.
rector of recreation, announced today
Discipline on some Of the frolic centers
has been maintained by boy officials,
elected by the other boys, who worked
under the playground directors for the
past two years.
Captains, lieutenants and sergeants
who form the personnel of the youthful
police forces" will be elected within a
short time to serve through the present
season. Mr.. Jarvis is considering a plan
Of holding the elections at all of the
grounds where self government is to be
in operation on the same day, making the
occasion correspond in playground life
to election days In the lives Of the grown
ups.
Delegation of part Of the responsibility
for conduct at the recreation centers to
the boys themselves has worked out
splendidly in Indianapolis. Not only do
the young officials watch for infractions
of playground rules, but also frequently
take action In matters involving common
honesty and manliness, according to Mr..
Jarvis. For instance a boy who was
over the age limit played with one OF the
playground teams nthe kittenball- league
last year. He had lied u the director
about his age. The team was about to
win the pennant when his falsehood was
discovered and all the games in which
he participated were thrown out The
boys themselves took the necessary dis
ciplinary measures. Frequently the
young citizens handle unruly comrades
quite as effectively as grown-ups deal
with those who oppose the best interests
of society. only the method usually is
less harsh. They have no fails on the
Fairgrounds, the slogan being, "Discip-
line Tempered With Great Kindness"
