Wheeland back to Little Mountain
and met with the ladies of this school
and while there were not many Of
them present there has always been
such fine work done here for the
school that I am sure they are going
to continue to work for the school
and the communit.. The truth is the
ladies of this community with the CO.
operation of the men of course, built
the school at Little Mountain and
they have done much to maintain it..
They have not had for some time an

through the state organization. The
following officers were elected: Mrs.
B. M. Wise president; Miss Ada Bra
dy vice-president; Mrs. Harold Wise
secretary; Mrs. j. j. Long treasurer;
Miss Lucy Brady chairman of the
program committee; Mrs. Robert
Feagle chairman of the social COM

mon as principal and Mr.. Willie Hack
Derrick assistant in the high school
department and Misses Lucy Brady,

the elementary department. There
are, forty-one in the high school with

American variety, the marshal stop
ped suddenly, smiled broadly ant

Paris. 1t must be an American city

He thanked the legionaires fol
their welcome, saying that since Wis

not recognize the French hero. In
stead of marshal's uniform he wore
a business suit and a derby hat. Hi
friends who met him remarked that
his trip had apparently done hin
much good.
A large group of French military
leaders as well as a personal repre-,
sentative of President Millerand and
other governmental officials were al

AS he was leaving the station, Mar
shall Foch said his trip to America
had been one of the most wonderful

Even if congress attempts to

"Not much) but you look as if you

would not take it," the robber told

SUPREME council u
CALLED TO MEET
WILL DISCUSS QUESTION OF
.REPARATIONS-RESULT OF
CONFERENCES BETWEEN BRIL-
AND AND LLOYD GEORGE
HELD IN LONDON

--
London, Dec. 22.-Another meet,
ing of the allied supreme council,
this time at Cannes, on the French
riviera, is the outcome of the parleys
between Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Premier BRAND of France dur,
ing the past few days. It will be pre-
ceded by meeting of the council OF
ambassadors within few days at
Paris for arranging the details OF the
Cannes meeting which is scheduled
for early in January.
"A pledge of secrecy was entered
into between the two prsm!eEs re-
garding their London conversations
but the supreme council evidently
has been called either to revise the
reparations provisions Of the treaty
Of Versailles or deliberate, on the ad-
visibility of calling conference
with view to dealing with the whole
question of international finances and
exchange, which is linked with the
question of reparations.
That such a conference is in con-
temptation and will possibly include
Russia and Germany if not the
United States seems to be shown by
the fact that the commission entrust-
ed with the examination into Rus
sian affairs has drafted report which
is now under consideration by the
French and British experts.
=. The meeting today between M.
BRAND and George Harvey, the Am
erican ambassador, is believed to
have been concerned mainly with
naval questions. Its occurrence at
the present juncture, however, was
the subject of considerable specula-
tion as to whether it may not also
have been connected with the known
desire of the entente powers to in
duce the United States to interest
itself in reparations and connected
questions.
, 81. BRAND this evening made the
announcement tosthe newspapers that
the council of ambassadors would
meet in Paris and that it would take
up the question of German repara-
tions as an outcome of the present
conversation between Mr.. Lloyd
George and himself. M. BRAND ad-
ded that real progress had been
made in the conversations. Several
points had been smoothed out with
complete cordiality and che was very
much satisfied" he said.
M BRAND declined to be drawn
into a discussion of the subject of
secondary naval vessels, dismissing
such inquiries by saying that the
question still was under discussion,
and added, "this is not the Washing
ton conference"
The French premier previously
had discussed the question of repair
ations with the Belgian ambassador,
who visited him to press the claims
of the Belgians, and was given as
surance that nothing would be decid-
ed without the representatives of
Belgium being consulted. In this
connection NJ. BRAND again remind
ed the newspaper men that nothing
could be definitely settled by the
present conversations, which being
purely between the British and
French premiers, could in no wise
be binding upon the other parties
concerned in the question, namely,
Belgium and Italy.

Prices for cotton in the United
States were forced down below pro-
duction cost-last year, the report
said, because of the forced shutting
down of spinnina and weaving estab-
lishments in the principal manufac-
turing countries. Reduced consump-
tion, occasioned by the inability of
Russia, Turkey and many other coun-
tries in Europe and throughout the
world to buy cotton cloth since the
war, it was explained, necessitated- I
the closing of world mills. American
farmers, confronted with a large
carry-over, last spring voluntarily re-
duced their cotton acreage, it was
pointed out and the yield was further
reduced because Comparatively " lit
tie fertilizer was used and because of
boil weevil ravages over practically
Nthe entire cotton belt" The Ameri-

for this year, as compared with co.
900 in 1920, 100000 in 1919 and l.
