NOT RESTING, JUST WAITING
Idiot Boy, According to Judge Gary,
Very Much Like the Rest
of the World.

Judge Gary was talking at q din
ner about the worlds Industrial situa-
ton.
"All over the world he said, labor
is earning more and producing less.
In England, for example, there are
more coal miners employed than ever,
and the production of coal Is lower
than ever.
English labor reminds me Of the
idiot boy.
"a farmer, out of pity, gave an idiot
boy a job. Then one afternoon the
farmer walked across his farm to see
how the boy was doing. He found
him lying on the grass under tree
smoking a cigarette.
".Well, Looney,' he said-the boy
was known as Looney in the village
We'll, Looney, what are you doing?
Restingy
''Looney took his cigarette out OF
his mouth and answered:
emo, boss, amt restin', cause
amt tired. I'm just a-layin' here
waitin' for the sun to go down SOS
I kin quit work."

Imperial Conference Opens With
Plea for Friendship With
United States.
INTERESTED IN CHINA
Lloyd George Says Great Britain
Anxious to Help Solve Questions
Involving Pacific Ocean and
the Far East.

London-The British prime minister.
in opening the imperial conference, at
tended by the premiers OF the British
overseas dominions, referred to Anglo
Japanese relations in terms generally
regarded in American circles here as
assurance to the United States that
any renewal of the agreement with the
Japanese government would necessari,
ly be of nature unobjectionable to
America.
While Lloyd George avoided a dec
laration on the direct issue of the
treaty, he alluded to the war time
friendship with Japan and said that
Great Britain was anxious to apply
this friendship to solution of the
questions connected with the Pacific
ocean and the Far East, among them
the future of China
Great Britain desired to avoid COM
petition in ornaments in the Pacific,
the prime minister declared and he
emphasized the willingness of the gov
eminent to discuss limitation of arma-
ments with the United States. He
pointed out at the same time that the
life of the United Kingdom, as also of
Australia and New Zealand, was built
on sea power-''the basis of the whole
empires existence"
Wants Cooperation With U. S.
Discussing the relations between
Great Britain and the United States,
the prime minister said:
Friendly cooperation with the Uni
ted States is for us cardinal prin-
ciple dictated by what seems to us the
proper nature of things, by instinct
quite as much as by reason and COM
mon sense.
1--WE are ready to discuss with Amer
lean statesmen any proposal for the
limitation of ornaments which they
wish to set forth, and we can under
take that no such overtures will find
lack of willingness on our part to meet
them"
Ceremony is Lacking.
The first session of the conference
was without ceremony, the represen-
tatives of the United Kingdom, the
dominions and India assembling at the
residence of the premier, who spoke
for an hour. Lloyd George welcomed
the visiting premiers and other dele
gates, who, he said, met as equal part
ners in the dignities and responsible
ties of the British commonwealth"
The prime minister summarized post
war conditions and said that German
disarmament was virtually accom-
plished and the PREPARATIONS problem
was "in a fair way Of being solved"
The problems of Silesia and the
Near East remained; their solution lay
in adherence to the treaties, and he
was hopeful with regard to both.

Conference Between Lord curzon and
BRAND Leaves Situation Unchanged.
Paris Great Britain and France sit
ting as a jury, failed again to deter
mine Germany's fate.
The conference here between Lord
Curzon and Premier BRAND came to
an end with the upper Silesian situa-
ton and the Rhine customs barrier un-
changed.
Lord CurZon argued strongly for dis
solving the customs barrier, declaring
that Germany has shown her good
faith in making the first reparations
payment Good faith" retorted
BRAND contemptuously, hasn't paid
us franc yet
The British representative told Bri-
and he was convinced the Allies should
evacuate Dusseldorf, Ruhrort and
Duisberg and give the Germans full
freedom in paying off their debt.

Does Your Tobacco
Sift Down into the
Stem of Your Pipe!

Edgeworth Tobacco goes out into
the world to make its own friends. 1t
is good smoking tobacco. We don't
have to make many claims fer it. !.
1t makes quite number OF friends
for itself. Some of these good friends
write to lis. One of them recently sent
us the following suggestion:
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
Being an occasional smoker and
on those occasions usually smok-
ing your tobacco, am writing to
mention point which might be
used in your advertising to your
advantage, which to my knowl-
edge has appeared in none OF your
advertisements to date.
Your tobacco possesses the par
ticular quality of not being rub
bed too fine, as great many OF
the various brands OF tobacco are,
and this should be great selling
item, as smoker invariably ex-
periences great deal OF difficulty
in keeping the stem of his pipe
clear and clean with the average
tobaccos, which practically all
ways are drawn into and block up
the stem. This is merely point
which / have noticed and hope
that it may be Of use to you.
