PLUCKY PIGEON FINDS WAY
HOME AFTER EIGHTEEN DAYS

Seventeen days behind his fast
est companion, a wind-buffeted but
plucky homing pigeon pushed thru
the trap that rings the automatic
bell at the United Stetas Depart
ment of Agriculture poultry hus-
bandry farm at Beltsville Wednes-
day morning bearing a message from
Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, to
Congressman Martin b. Madden, Of
Illinois, He is the third to reach
home out of 10 birds from the farm
which were liberated as part of the
Chicago Pageant of Progress, July
80.
One of these broke world record
by covering the GA 1l2 miles in ~
hours elapsed time, which, in the
opinion of Albert Jacobson, expert
in charge of homing pigeons, means
LEGS than 16 hours actual flying

popULARIz1NG LARGE INDUSTRY

Large corporations have seen that
the way to popularize their proper
ties is to have the people" own
their stocks and bonds. "Popu-
,larization" of the securities of the
Standard Oil Company and It's var
ious subsidiaries was accomplished
through stock dividend and reduc--
tions Of par values, as well as thru
publication of financial information
The public utility companies OF
the West were leaders in this move
ment of giving their securities wide
distribution in the territory where
they operate. The value of "popu-
larizing" corporation securities was
wei illustrated during the recent
general stock depression when the
Standard OIL stocks showed pro-
nounced strength.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS.

the agricultural census for 1919
and 1920 show there has been an
Increase of 1873 percent in acreage
irrigated in Colorado since 1910 and
an increase of PIG percent in the
acreage of crops cultivated under ir-
rigation since 1909. During the
same period there has beel an in
crease OF about 203 percent in the
acreage cultivated without irriga-
tion. The census figures for culti-
waited acreage for 1903 and 1919.
Reports of county assessors to the
State immigration Department indi-
cate that the increase in on-irriga-
ed acreage under cultivation II is
year over 1919 is about Is percent,
while there is little change in irri-
gated acreage being farmed.
| The largest increase in acreage
grown under irrigation show for
any crop in the decade is for alfal-
ia. The census bureau showed
that 659,912 acres of alfalfa was
grown under irrigation in Colorado
IN 1919, compared with 4S0,5S6 ac-
es in 1909 There was also con-
siderable increase in acreage of al
falfa grown without irrigation, the
census bureau reports showing that
PA percent of all alfalfa grown in
the state in 1909 was irrigated,
while only S44 percent of it was
irrigated in 1919. Records of the
state immigration Department show
that the acreage of alfalfa grown
without irrigation in eastern Colo
RADIO counties is increasing rather
rapidly each year.
Sugar beets rank first in value
among the irrigated crops grown in
the state, though the acreage de-
voted to this crop is smaller than
that devoted to either alfalfa or
wild hay. The records of the CEN
sus bureau showed that 80 percent
OF sugar beets grown in the state in
1909 were irriagted, while for 1919
only s2.S percent were irrigated. In
both 1920 and 1921 the acreage of
sugar beets cultivated was greater
that for 1919 and the acreage culti-
waited under irrigation was greater
each year than that shown by the
census bureau for 1919. The CEN
sus report shows only 137,329 acres
of sugar beets grown under irriga-
tion in 1919. while the records of
the immigration Department indi-
cate that over 100000 acres were
grown under irrigation in 1920 and
nearly 100000 in 1921.
The only important crop that has
shown a substantial decrease in ac-
reage grown under irrigation since
1909 is oats. The census bureau
reported 1921 acres, or 69.7 per-
cent of the total crop of oats grown
under irrigation in 1909, while in
97.61S acres, or Sc percent of the
total crop, was grown under irrig1-
ton. There was slight decrease
in the acreage of potatoes grown
under irrigation in the state in 1919
as compared with 1909, the figures
being 59,221 acres for 1909 and
5o.631 acres for 1913. The acre
age of potatoes grown under irri-
cation in the state this year is con-
larger than that for 1919
and perhaps the largest in the his
tory of the state. County assess
;ors' reports show that about 10
percent of the acreage devoted to
potatoes in the state is now irriga-
ed.

DENNY URGES LARGE NAVY
Points Out Danger of Allowing De-
terioraton of Fleet

Detroit, Mich-The United States
navy was described as an insurance
against disaster, by Secretary DENLY
in an address to his fellow townsmen
shere 'If the flag is ever lowered on
the sea-" he said, prepare to lower it
on land. Failure to maintain the navy
will spell absolute disaster in the near
or far future. You cannot send an
army over an unguarded sea-"
Secretary DENLY referred to what he
said was the frequently heard com
plant that the navy is an expensive
institution. 1t was necessary insur-
ance, however, he said, adding:
"All the cost of all the navies of all
the world was saved by Great Britain
in one terrible week.
"You know and l know" he con-
tinued, that if they (the British} had
not had that navy there would be no

Counter Proposal Is Unaccept-
able, Secretary Hughes In
forms Germany.
SUGGESTS new TERMS
u. S. Urges Berlin to Make Further
Proposals Direct to Entente;
Voices Hope for Prompt Set
Element of Question.

Washington-The German repara
ton counter proposals are unaccept.
able as a basis for discussion, Secre-
tary Hughes informed DR.. Simons, the
German foreign minister, in note.
The Secretary at the same time
urged the German government to make
further proposals directly to the Allied
governments. He also expressed again
the earnest desire of the American
government for a prompt settlement OF
"this vital question"
Text of Hughes Note.
The text of Secretary Hughes COM
munication, which was dispatched to
Loring Dresel, the American high com
missioner in Berlin, follows:
THE government of the United
States has received the memorandum
left by DR.. Simons with the commits
siOner of the United States under date
of April "a, relating to reparations. In
reply this government states that it
finds itself unable to reach the con-
clusiOn that the proposals afford q
basis for discussion acceptable to the
Allied governments and that these pro-
posals cannot be entertained. This
government, therefore, again express
ing it's earnest desire for prompt set
Element of this vital question strongly
urges the German government at once
to make directly to the Allied govern
ments clear, definite and adequate pro-
posals which would in all respects
meet its just obligation"
The communication was made pub
lie by the Secretary without continent
and officials generally refused to dis
cuss the situation.
U. S. Stands With Allies.
Unofficially the opinion was ex-
pressed that developments at London,
where the Allied supreme council is in
session discussing PREPARATIONS, would
soon give the explanation of the Amer
lean governments action. Whether
these would demonstrate that the
stand of the United States for pay
ment by Germany to her full ability
but not to a degree to retard unduly
her economic recuperation, had been
met, was subject on which no light
was she'd
The American position is under
stood to have been that since Germany
forwarded her counter proposals that
a settlement should be achieved if pos
sible by discussion and that even in
the face of an Allied advance into Ger
man territory the United States would
not cease to work for such a settle
ment At the same time it was
emphasized that the American govern
ment would stand with the Allies in
demanding proper reparations.

Debt Terms.
PENAL TIES IN TEN DAYS
Agreement Brought About BY Inter
vention of Belgian Minister-Pre-
paration to Occupy Ruhr
Basin Continued.

London-The British and French
governments have reached an agree
ment on how to deal with Germany to
exact immediate guarantees. In broad
outline it is agreed that the Allies will
make declaration, but not to Ger
many.
Penalties In Ten Days.
They will announce that the repara-
lions commission will notify Germany
as to the amounts she is required to
pay and how it is to be paid, together
with the proposed financial controls.
The Allies will then announce that
within ten days, this period being SUBJ
ject to possible modification by the SUI
preme council, they will proceed to
carry out the penalties if the terms
are not acceeded to.
The plan provides for comprehen-
Siye scheme of supervision and con-
troll OF Germany's sources of revenue.
1t is not yet completed, but while the
experts are still working on it France
i'll proceed with all her military pre-
parations for the occupation of the
Ruhr. The French government will
order mobilization of one additional

Belgian Brings Harmony.
This is the general result of an agi-
tated day of conversations and con-
ferences that seemed likely to end in
sharp disagreement among the Allies.
The agreement was brought about by
the intervention of the Belgian foreign
minister, NJ. JaSpar, at a meeting of
the Supreme council The whole sub
3ect will come up for discussion again
at another meeting of the council.
Both sides feel that they measurably
succeeded in having their policies ac-
cepted. The French parliament is not
in session, so NJ BRAND was able to
accept short time extension without
having to explain to the chamber forth
with, while Lloyd George has salts
fed to some degree opposing liberal
opinion.
British Naval Aid Refused.
The French premier asked for Brit
ish naval cooperation, suggesting the
blockade of Hamburg. The British
prime minister replied that American
public opinion would not approve of
such a course, and he could not agree
to a blockade which would bring the
Allies into controversy with the United
States
NJ BRAND agreed to this point of
view He added that the course Of
the United States had been absolutely
correct
Uneasiness still exists among the
French delegates over the possibility
that Washington may endeavor to
mediate; they declare this would not
be acceptable to them. The cause of
this impression is not clear, but some
OF the delegates have made it under
stood that it does not originate with
the French ambassador, ]. Jasserand.
