Trademark for Farm Names.

The United States patent office re-
Gently approved and published in the
Patent Office Gazette a trademark
covering the name of the farm of an
Iowa farmer. Lcdru C. Willis, the
farmer in whose name the trademark
was issued, is a breeder of purebred
hogs, cattle, and sheep. The name of
the farm as tradcmarked is @'Hawk-
eye" To the knowledge Of livestock
mon in the United States department
of agriculture Mr.. Willitis is the first
stockman, and probably the first far
mer, to OBTAIN a United States trade
mark on his farm. There is nothing
in the law to prevent it, but apparent
ly no one thought of it before. If
farmer uses his farm name and trade
mark as a part Of his selling opera
ton in disposing of what he produces,
the trademark protects the owner of
the farm in it's use in interstate COM
merce.
Several states have laws which au-
thorize the registration of farm names

TO Hesitant Farmers.

Farmers who hesitate to join or
CARNATIONS to effect cooperative mar
keting are like men who die bache-
Iors because they hcsitated to make
an arrangement upon a basis of per
monency, which might not be to their
liking.
Men, married and unmarried, may
differ as to whether the bachelor, who
chooses celibacy deliberately is wiser
OF less wise than Bencdick or than
the right gallant knight who married
unhesitatingly Bessie, the heggar's
daughter of Bcthnal Green, but ev
cry one knows that in business faint
heart rarely has won fair profits, and
that procrastiration is the thief Of
opportunity. That those who hesitate
come out at the little end Of the horn
is a fact which is the source Of a
group of proverbs.

and inalienable advantages of free
dom. Has the farmer any equivalent
of the bachelors freedom? He sells
in markets in which, as a permanent
arrangement, he must stand the gait
as a man without representation,
without standing in court, without, to
speak literally, the slightest bargain
ing power.
"All things considered which policy
promises the farmer more freedom
of action in the end?
The question has been answered by
many Kentucky tobacco planters in

Grade and Purebred Sale.

Preliminary arrangements were
made at a committee meeting of Hol-
stein and Guernsey breeders Monday
evening for a grade and purebred
livestock sale the last day of the 1santi
County fair. About half of the boys
and girls who are going TO show pure
0red and grade calves at the county
fair will wish to dispose of their calves
at that time. Because of slight sur
plus of bull calves in the county, and
due to the fact that so many still
have scrubs, the breeders want to do
everything possible to increase the
number Of purebred sires used in the
county. A committee will be appoint
ed to select the animals to be entered
in the sale, and only good individuals
will be chosen.
At a joint meeting Of the Holstein
and Guernsey breeders, which will be
held in the county agents office Sat-
urday evening, complete plans and ar
rangements will be made and further
announcements published Immediately
thereafter. A. R. Miesen,

COURT GIVES RIGHT
TO ERECT STORES
Ban Put by Commissioners
Ruled Ineffective Under
Existing Zone Law.

An ordinance adopted by the Dis
trict Commissioners May 26 last, pro-
viding that no store could be con-
Quoted on a residence street without
the consent Of three-fourths of the
property holders within 200 feet, was
declared invalid today by the District
Court Of Appeals in two decisions
rendered bys~Iastice Van orsdale.
The court held that the ordinance
is in conflict with the provision of
the zoning law, which it holds was
then in effect.
The Zoning commission, and not the
District Commissioners, under that
enactment, have the legislative power
court pointed out, the Commissioners
being empowered only to enforce
regulations adopted by the coming
commission.
Section 10 Of that act, while saving
to the Commissioners the right to
make municipal regulations, as here
tofore, provides that such regulations
may not be inconsistent with the pro-
visions of the zoning law.
The court reversed the decisions of
the District Supreme Court, which
had refused mandamus writs against
the District Commissioners asked by
Mollie Schwartz and w. Walton Ed
wards. Mrs. Schwartz sought to erect
a drug store in a residence block, and
Mr.. Edwards wished to construct a
building to be used as a delicatessen
store.

ANARCHY IN NORTHERN

ROME, February 1.-THE vio-

Ing almost to open war, have
reached pass where public dis
cussion relates chiefly to such de-
velopments as the. burning of
houses of labor in Modena, Bo-
logna and Ferrara by armed bands
of men assisted by uniformed Of
fcers, while military policemen
looked on impassively. The inabil-
1ty of the socialists to resist these
numerous attacks is a striking fea-
ture of the labor struggle.
Socialism has conquered Emilia.
Seven of the eight deputies chosen
at the last election are socialists.
Bologna's municipal administra-
tion is also socialistic, as is that OF
most of the other cities. For years
the socialist party has sought to
reduce all the categories of agricul-
tural labor to a single salaried
class. The houses of labor claimed
exclusive right to provide he

strong that they imposed their

ASKED BY ONE ALLY
That Request Was Made of
United States Is Ad-
mitted Officially.

First official admission that the
United States had been requested to
cancel loans to allied government was
made today by Secretary of the Treas
ury- David F. Houston. in testimony
before the Senate judiciary commit
tee.
The Secretary said the request had
come from "one nation"
What nation?" asked Senator Reed.
Il prefer not to say replied the
Secretary.
Recent Associated Press dispatches
from London carried statement by
Chancellor ]. Austen Chamberlain of
the British exchequer that such a
suggestion has been made to the
United States.
More Advances Possible.
Secretary Houston informed the
committee today that while it was his
policy not to establish additional cred
its for foreign governments. If re-
quests were made for advances on
credits already established there was
a possibility that payments would be
made under solemn commitments al
ready entered into.
The Treasury Secretary estimated
that SIS. 100000 was the total of au-
thorized credits not yet absorbed.
Great Britain has taken its fuII
amounts, he said. but France. Italy,
Czechoslovakia. Greece and Liberia
have balances with the Treasury. He
testified that there was no indication
that requests for payments would be
made by these nations. but added that
"it would be very unfortunate if this
failed to keep it's pledge
in case request was made"

Only Greece Has Paid Interest.
Mr.. Houston testified that the
Treasury had not called upon the
debtor governments to pay interest
on their borrowings during the time
negotiations were on for funding, and
that Greece was the only debtor ma
ton that had paid the interest on its
borrowings.
Nicholas Kelley. assistant secre-
tary, in charge of foreign loans, was
asked by Senator Reed to produce
contractuaI papers and other docu-
ments negotiated by the Treasury
with the other governments, but he
did not have them with him.

LONDON, February Announce
ment by Austen Chamberlain, chan
cellor of the eXchequer. in his recent
Birmingham speech, that Great Brit
the remission of the allied debt came
with as much surprise to the British
public as to the American and Great
ed something of a sensation.
While various economists in private
life had been advocating such a can
collation., 1t was not known that the
government was formally considering
the matter. and much less that it had
made overtures in that connection to
the United States.
Thus far the press has not ventured
much comment. but considerable
space is being devoted to news dis
patches giving the American view on
the proposals.
Tentative. Is Press Decision.
1t is recalled that when Lord Chal-
mers. the permanent secretary Of the
treasury, was appointed recently to
pay a visit to America on an official
financial mission it was rumored he
report was not confirmed officially, and
ths British press discounted it as fam
tastic.
1t is definitely stated that the Brit
ISL suggestion to the American gov
ernment to write off the obligations
never was conveyed through the me-
dunn Of the American embassy. leav-
ing the assumption that it must have
been rendered by the British ambas-
sador at Washington.
In one well informed quarter here
the belief is held that the interallied
debt cancellation. question was really
the most important part of the mis-
sion to which Lord Chalmer was del
egated, but that his departure was
held up on the advice of Sir Auckland
Geddes. the British ambassador at
Washington. that the time was mop
perfume in view of the domestic po-
litical situation in America. Mr..
Chamberlain had not yet returned
from Birmingham today. but his pri-
vate secretary declared it was un-
likely TIE chancellor would consider
it necessary to amplify his statement.

With Reichstag Speech.

BERLIN. February 5-The premiers
Of the several federated states OF the
German nation were in session with
the Berlin cabinet here until late this
evening over the reparations question,
the meeting being followed by the an
nouncement that complete unanimity
prevailed among all the participants
in the conference. The speech of For
eign Minister Simons in the reichstag

The conference was presided over
by Chancellor Fehrenbach. DR.. Simons
spoke at length and was followed by
other members of the cabinet, after
which the visiting premiers were
heard.
The invitation extended by the en-
tente for Germany to send representa-
tives on March i to the London con-
ference on reparations is construed
here as indicating that the allies ex-
posals and that the negotiations at
Brussels by the experts on financial
and economic affairs are. therefore,
superf1uous for the time being
leaders of German industry, ship
ping and finance have been arriving e
in Berlin during the past few days
for consultations with the govern
ment's staff of economic experts who.
under the direction of Undersecretary
Bergman of the ministry of eco
nomics. are engaged in the drafting
of the German counter proposals.
Much of the press comment in re-
gard to the situation warns the gov
ernment against pinning its faith on
the possibility that the attitude of
the new Washington government will
supply Germany with moral backing.
These commentators urge the govern
ment to present Germany's case
strictly on it's own merits.
Commenting on the conference of
the premiers with the cabinet, the
Tageblatt says the participants left
it with confidence that their inter-
ests would be safeguarded at the Lon
don meeting of the allies. The Lokal

ment question, says Bavaria will sub
