NEEDS LIGHT ON HARDING
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,


New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c.. Jan. Is.
A desire to establish a better basis
for future relations between Great
Britain and the United States is un-
derstood hereto be the reason for the
return to London of Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British Ambassador. IT is
expected the Ambassador will return
to his post here after having conferred
with Premier Lloyd George and Lord
Curzon, Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs
The necessity Of better under
standing Of American affairs by the
British Home Office is accordingly re-
garded as of moment.
The Ambassador left New York for
London to-day, the British Embassy
giving out this announcement:
Sir Auckland Geddes, the British
Ambassador, sailed for England to-
day from New York. He has been
summoned to London to confer
Secretary of State for Foreign AZ
fairs. According to present inten-
tions he will return to Washington
in February.
During his absence the embassy will
be in charge OF First Secretary Craigie,
which sets at rest any suspicion that the
departure is in any way due to the note
of explanation which the First Secretary
recently addressed to Senator Kellogg
(Minn) denying reports that American
cable messages were censored in Eng
land.
Several Problems to Discuss.
Tho advent of the Harding Adminis-
tration, with the probable establishment
OF many new American foreign policies.
will create the necessity Of additional In
formation in London and closer confer
ences. Sir Auckland is expected to sup
ply the British Home Office with what
ever information he gathered concerning
intentions of the Harding Administration
relative to the League of Nations and
other questions Of tremendous impor-
tance.
The outgoing Wilson Administration
has also presented some new problems
which will require delicate handling
Among them is the Mesopotamian oil
question, which has drawn protest from
Secretary of State Colby. The Wilson
Administration also has gone a consd-
cradle distance in negotiating a new un-
derstanding with the Japanese, which is
of vital interest to Great Britain. Still
another pending question is the disposi-
tion Of the German seized cables
1t has been realized here for some
time by diplomatic authorities that the
scrapping of the League of Nations.

How TO Overcome Habit

A schoolmaster once said to his
pupils, to the boys who would make
the best piece of composition in five
minutes on "How to Overcome Ha-
bit" he would give a prize. When the
five minutes had expired a lad of
nine years stood up and said, "Well,
sir, habit is hard to overcome. If
you take off the first letter it does
not change 'abit.' If you take off an
other letter, you still have bit left.
If you take off still another, the
whole of it remains. If you take
off another it is not totally used up,
all of which goes to show that if you
want to get rid of habit you must
throw it off altogether"

1t was nabbed by the police a week
ago. The still is constructed thru

the still is in existence leaked out
when the gas man collected for the
gas used to heat the still, which
amounted to SIS week. The gas

reached the police station and as a
result the owner of the property

HOME FROM LONG AUTO TRIP
l.. b. Willis and Family Visited
Yellowstone Park, Driving
About $500 Miles.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Willis, daugh-
ter Catherine, of DEBORAH and Mrs.
j. A. Scott, of Boscobel, Wis, ar
rived home Friday from delight
full automobile trip, which. took them
to Yellowstone Park. They left De-
corah on June 4, and the round trip
covered about $500 miles.
They had camping outfit along,
and their actual travelling time was
81 days. They carried tent which
covered the auto, giving room 7x7
on either. side of the auto.
Along the way at various cities
through the west, excellent tourist
camps have been built for the sole
benefit of tourists, and wood, water,
ETC., is furnished and a fine place to
pitch their tents. At Billings, Mont,
at one of these places there were So
cars camped one night. Livingston,
Mont, Aberdeen, S. d. and Granite
Falls, Mimi, have similar places.
On the way out and back they
visited Mrs. Willis bfy<hers at
Wakpala, S. d., and Milestone, Mont,
AT Wakpala they took in an Indian
celebration ION the Fourth, which
proved exciting and interesting, the
Indians being all dressed in their war
paint and feathers, and gave the
usual Indian program of war dances,
horse races, etc.
They visited the Cat Creek oil
fields north of Milestone, Mont, and
saw rs wells, Al Of them pumping
and Is drilling.
They went all through Yellowstone
Park, making the famous loop up
through the snow capped mountains.
Mr.. Willis drove his trusty old
Ford and said he had no tire trouble
to speak of and $2.10 repair on
the car was all the expense, outside
of gasoline, which cost around $50.
1t was a delightful trip and much
enjoyed and Mr.. Willis says the
crop conditions through 1.-THE west
were very good.

BAND GOING TO PORTLAND
Western Leg Luther College Band
Tour Began Last Saturday.
Thief River Falls. MINI.

July 8, 1920.
The Luther College Concert Band
is getting accustomed to travel by
this time; it has now been on the
road for five weeks. AT first the
boys took keen delight in seeing
all the sights; if a city had
courthouse that looked good, they
might take a special trip up to look
it over, but now-well, about the
only thing that can arouse their
interest is a fire, or a chance to
swim. They are always to be found
at a swimminghole if there is one
where they stop. There are two
good reasons for this. In the first
place they enjoy getting wet, and
III the second place they have to if
they expect to keep moderately
clean; anyone who has travelled in
the summer time knows that the
dust and the smoke are very un-
pleasant. But it is surprising how
! well they get along. Without any
serious inconvenience to anybody
they sleep four in a section, wash
in three washbowls, and use in that
operation only a limited amount of
water. If the water runs out the
joke is on the men that get up late
and if anybody is selfish, which does
mot happen very often, he gets mob
bed. Good craftsmanship is the
rule of the troupe.
The porter, Sam, a typical south
ern coon, is the life of the whole
party. With his broad negro dialect,
and his original humor he keeps the
boys interested all the time. One
day Vicente, that's nick name, who
is somewhat of a humorist himself,
amused himself teasing Sam. Sam
listened to him gravely for few
minutes, and when he thought he
had heard about enough, he said:
man NANNY she tell me dat
ugly chile make hansome man;
well, you sho must ave been a awful
hansome chile" One day he was
looking the boys over for likely
candidates for "board OBJ directors
for some imaginary organization. He
was looking for ''foah good, hansome
men. An can fin foah lonesome
men directly 'thout any trouble,
cause this is awful hansome crowd, |
but Ah'll have a hard time findin'
foah good men,"
