Disarmament Action-Congress in Sympathy

the attitude of the administration on
the question Of disarmament in his
New York address Wednesday.
President Harding has been very
diplomatic, and very effective in his
dealings with congress on the plan
for army and navy reductions.
When congress met last March SEN
ator Borah introduced his disarma-
ment resolution, but changed its word
ing to conform to executive preroga-
tive. The president wished he had
not introduced it but raised no objec-
ton, and finally gave it the right of
way. The house, more radical on the
subject than the senate, promptly de-
termined to make the resolution far
more sweeping in its inclusiveness.
Then came a hitch, which the presi-
dent has taken advantage of. Out OF
the present situation will come reso-
luton which will approve of the presi-
dent initiating disarmament proposals
and will provide an appropriation for
his negotiations. The new resolution
will merely approve executive action
on the question, it will not authorize
nor request it.

BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

If you have been shopping around
for great, red, luscious, homegrown
stra wberries this week, you have
learned how scarce such berries are.
Berry growers are disappointed great
ly in their yields. The dry spell, just
as the time the vines were fruiting,
has had much to do with this, but
Stephen kuth gives another reason
for the scarcity of strawberries. In
his opinion. the early freezes and the
heavy rains at the wrong time pre-
vented the usual pollenizing of the
blossoms; the dry spell later almost
ruined what was left of the crop. In
consequence the ripening berries are
small and hard. as compared with the
kind he has been in the habit of mar
keting. In a chat with the reporter
Mr.. kuth said that his pickers had to
pick row 16 rods long right now to
get a case of berries
Not Enough for Pie
And just think of it," he said;
with all my fruit trees we shall not
have the makings of cherry or plum
pie on the place, nor enough pears to
fill can this fall
AS to raspberries and blackberries,
Mr.. Kuth said that he anticipated a
bountiful yield, IF we have rain as
needed from now on"
William SPOTS, Center township
farmer, endorses Mr.. kuth's statement
as to strawberries. He cultivates
these berries and has been in the
habit of bringing many crates to town
each season, and usually has sold ber-
ries to his neighbors and to Center
vile merchants, along with various
vegetables. The promise of liberal
yield of rOa dside and cultivated black
berries in Center township is encour-
aging, but very few pears. peaches or
apples are in sight; in fact. we fear
that pears, like most varieties of
cherries. are total failure in that
section of Wayne. We do know, how
ever, of spots where there will be
small crops of pea ches. and some ap-
pies, unless the June drop gets them
This is hardly likely where the apples
are as large as walnuts, as one farm
err puts it.
Some Late Apples Seen
There is a giant kieffer pear tree
on the Arthur Collins place near
Fountain City which produced from
10 to II bushels of pears in 1920, it
was thought. Not a pear is to be
seen on that tree, or on other of the
Collins pear trees this year, but there
is brave showing of late apples.
The early berries reaching the north
from the southwest were in tempting
condition and quite plentiful. Later
the Aroma district of Arkansas and
the great berry acreage around Neosha
and south of Joplin, Mo-, turned dry
and this cut the output.
Louisiana Jared better. and many
cars of strawberries came early out of
Texas. Right now Michigan strawber-
ries are beginning to move and there
may be some of these to ship south,
if prices warrant that is to say to
Richmond. II is thought, however,
that Chicago and Detroit will take

CHANGE IN POLICY
ON AMERICAS PART
PREDICTED BY WOOD
fBv Associated Press>

MANILA, June 10-Speaking today
before the Columbian association
whose membership is composed large
ly OF Filipinos educated abroad, w
Cameron Forbes. who with Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, comprises Presi-
dent Hardings mission to the Philip
pines, outlined the attitude he said he
had always taken in regard to Philip
pine independence.
Il have never criticized the Filipinos
for desiring their independence" he
declared. II have never discouraged
the demand for Philippine independ-
ence and l have never encouraged it..
What I've hoped has been that this
desire for freedom will prove the
stimulus for you to. do those things
which make you capable of nationality,
to get your country into shape for it.
president Harding is for the best
interests of the Filipino people. He
wants their efforts for stable govern
ment to succeed
Americanism pervaded speeches
which Forbes and General Wood made
before the Rotary club luncheon in
their honor. General Wood said he
was confident that a new era was ap-
preaching in which America will have
her full share of foreign trade.
Predicts Better Support.
81 believe that in the future" Gener-
al Wood stated, you will have more
and better support from your govern
ment than you had before. With the
war over we are looking upon the
commerce problem in new light.
The government will support and
defend our overseas Americans with
a definite foreign commerce policy,
just as our competitors protect their
nationals in foreign trade. Our for
eign commerce will be supported by a
strong foreign policy. good merchant
marine, and an adequate navy, per-
haps not the biggest in the world, but
adequate as compared with the navies
Of other nations"

COMFORT STATION
TO Be ESTABLISHED
BY LOCAL MERCHANTS

Efforts which bid fair to be success
full, are being made by merchants Of
the ltst end of Main street, to estab-
lish women's comfort station for the
accommodation of Out-of-town visit
ors. The location chosen is the base
ment of Vigran's Variety Store, which
has been offered rent free by the pro-
prietoF With a stairway leading to
the street, and with the proper fit
tings, the business men interested
feel that this will be an acceptable To-
cation, and will add materially in the
popularity Of that section among Rich
mond visitors and country customers.
An effort will be made to interest
the city council in defraying the ex-
penses of installing the stairway and
railing that will be necessary, and in
remodeling the basement and install
ing toilets and equipment. City coun-
Gilman, Joseph Waterman, in whose
ward the station would be located,
has promised to bring this matter 10
the attention of the council at the
next meeting Monday evening.
Expenses Assured
In case the council does not agree
to stand all or part of the expense, at
tempts will be made to interest civic
organizations, and that move failing,
| the merchants in that district will
contribute towards the expenses out
of their own pockets, say those who
initiated the movement.
William Klein, Of the Grand Hotel,
has visited several merchants along
Main street and reports that all who
have been approached so far are
strongly in favor Of the idea, and he
feels that they will be willing to es-
tablish the station at their own ex-
pense in case they can get no assist
anoe, Much enthusiasm is felt over
frequently declare that the station
positively will be established.
Basement Station
The space offered by Mr.. Vigran is
a nine foot basement under the front
portion of the store at the corner of
Sixth and Main streets. The entrance
could be arranged to open on Main
street, and the space for the station
would be about 80 by so feet floor
space. There is a sewer near which
could easily be tapped for a toilet
outlet.
| 1t is intended to keep the station
open from early in the morning until
! late at night, with a matron in charge
j who would look after the comfort OF
| the visitors. A stand for the sale OF
! souvenirs and candies might be main
/ tanned, profits to be used to help sup
port the station. The station would
have no rental charges, and after the
first cost of installation, would have
only the small upkeep charges and
salary Of the attendant to be supplied
