and very poor culvert is made; ii
Is never satisfactory and when paw
ing is laid, cement or steel tubing
needs to be put in deep SO the street
will have no ridge in it at the cross
ing of the ditch. Ehen the tubing
chokes with weeds and leaves that
drift in, some mud weighs it down
and the ditch owner wants the city
to clean it out and keep it clean for
him. The city Is not taking on that
kind of burdens. 1t has enough of
its own.
A ditch company has it's water
course in the street and acquires a
right-of-way, but when the paving
is laid and the curbing built, 1t must
conform to the lines and levels
adopted for DRAWINGS and traffic for
the city and the council should not
take on the task Of solving the
problems of the individuals or the
company owning the water course.
It is entitled to water course, but
the tax payers all over town must
not be taxed to provide it. The
parties interested must do that If
taxation is to be just. ANY other line
of reasoning is not sound, it will not
stand the test Of practice and 1t is
not legal.
In the spring Of the year the leaves

THREE GREATEST EVENTS
in PARIS

According to press reports Paris
has just witnessed one Of the three
greatest gatherings of its history
and it is interesting to note what
1t was that attracted the crowds.
The first of the three great gather
lngs was to keep informed on the
progress Of the second battle of the
Marine, in July, 1918. The whole
civilized world paused with bated
breath awaiting the outcome, ana
Paris was full Of people whose very
existence depended on stopping
the German advance. The second
great gathering was for Armistice
day on November Ii, 1918.

at what the Frenchman called sFini

have done has been merely in the
line of adequate preparation. .
In the Dempsey, Carpenter fight,
France and England felt the defeat
very keenly. They did not like the
spectacle of seeing Europe rated
second to American stock. They
were proud of the American troops
when they turned the Germans at
the Marine and saved civilization, but
they yield up the laurels grudgingly
to an American when it comes to a
circumstance where their existence
does not come into direct jeopardy
as the result of the contest.

get the results of the Dempsey
carpenter fight Of the second Of
July, 1921. All France was listening
to hear that one Of her sons had de-
feated the wonderful American,
and gave way to tears when the
cablegrams announced their man
wiped off the earth in thirteen
minutes.
so here we have three great events
ID history-the battle Of the Marne
when civilization hung in the bal
ance; Armistice day to celebrate final
victory; and fist fight.

The market opened steady at an

the bullish weekend figures of yes

bulge met scattering liquidation.
There was also little southern sell
ing and prices eased off to about or
few points below last nights clos
ing figures right after the call. Cow
ering continued however, and became
more active later in the morning on
report from the Dallas conference
indicating that Texas had agreed to
create noncotton growing zones in
all districts infested by the pink boil
worm. 1t was felt that this would
restrict the acreage in some of the
best producing counties of the state.
and firmness in the New Orleans
market was regarded as indicating a
bullish view of the prospect in this
respect. December was relatively

against 100000 bales last year. A
more optimistic view of results in
the Washington conference on arma-
ment contributed to the advance, but
local brokers regarded the pink boil
worm menace to southwest crops as
the chief factor on the advance. The
state of Louisiana has modified the
quarantine against southwestern cot
ton, making it apply only to cotton
from infested areas.

Northern Hemisphere
FalI-Sown c ereaIs
In Fair Condition
BY Associated Press

Washington, December 3.-The fall
sown cereal crops of the northern
hemisphere are generally entering the
winter in fair to good condition
with the exception of some areas
where drouth has interfered with
seeding and termination, according to
reports today to the department of
agriculture. Recent rains have bene-
fitted the new crops in Germany and
Austria. and the condition is up to
the average, although the long drouth
may have reduced the acreage some
what. Seeding has been greatly him
dered by drouth in France. Hungary
and Rumania. Recent favorable
rains are reported from Italy. Seed
ing made good progress throughout
Great Britain. and good stands are
reported for early sown fields. Mois-
ture conditions have been favorable
in northern Africa. and preparation
of the land fer fall seeding made ex-
cellent progress.
The prospect for the wheat harvest
in British India and Canada con-
tinued good, the report shows, ana
condition of the winter crop in the
United States is favorable through
out the north central states, but the
continued drouth is causing much
damage throughout the lower plains
region. Rain is also generally need
| ed in the Pacific northwestern states.
