OEARY FARM BUREAU
TO MEET WEDNESDAY
TUBERCULINE TEST OF DAIRY
CATTLE BEING URGED BY
THE FARM BUREAUS.
(Latah County Press)

There will be meeting of the farm
bureau membrs and other farmers OF
his community at Curtis Hall, Deary
on Wednesday, January 26, at l T
M. This is the annual business
meeting of the farm bureau organi-
zation of this community and every
farmer is invited and urged to at
tend
At this meeting the farmers will
discuss the work for better farming
that they wish to take up for the COM
ing year. Lines of work, or projects,
will be selected and leaders elected.
1t is time to plan the squirrel control
campaign and place orders for
strychnine and saccharine.
Wheat standardization, livestock
improvement, and other important
lines of work will be considered.
The county agent will be present to
discuss the work of the farm bureau
for the past year and help lay plans
for next season. A similar meeting
will be held at Avon on the evening of
Janary 26, at 7:30.
The county agent desires to I'M
press upon the farmers the import
ance of placing their orders for
SCTYCllulue dG CulS ulCSOlllS. AiC say .
that the order must be turned in at
that time, because all the strychnine
bought this year by the bureau will be
ordered at once and it will not be
possible to get it after the order has
been sent off.
The matter of organizing bull
club will be taken up at this meeting.
Farmers have probably noticed in
the papers that a plan has been form
ed whereby members of bull club
can get registered bull without cost
by complying with certain require
ments, and Mr.. Fletcher will outline
the plan at this meeting.
Another matter of Importance to
be taken up at this meeting will be
that of organizing tuberculosis
testing association to test cattle for
tuberculosis. Tests made in various
parts of the country have demon
strated that a surprising number of
cattle react to the tests which are
made under government supervision
and it is felt by farm bureaus that
the time has come to have this men
ace to the livestock industry removed.
This can only be done by testing
and destroying the stock which prove
to be tubercular. The government
sends its official tester, who admin
listers the toxin, and seventy-two
hours later this official returns and
kills all cattle which prove to be
tubercular. The owner is compen-
sated by the government, which pays
$50 per head for grade cattle and
$1O0 per head for thoro-breds: The
offer of free bulls is made by Jay T.
Graves of Spokane, whose stock are
winners of the highest prizes at
stock shows, and the bulls to be dis
ributed free are months old.

THE ESTES CLUB HAD
A FINE SOCIAL EVENING

The Estes club and several invited
guests were delightfully."- entertained
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs H. E.
Carpenter Friday evening, Jan. 21,
1921.
The roads were in perfect condition
for sleighing, the air crisp and invit-
ing, the evening altogether lovely and
as a result sixty guests assembled to
partake of the hospitality of the Car
penter home.
The evening was spent in visiting
and playing games until a late
hour when the club ladies invited all
to the dining room to partake of de-
licious oyster supper. A second
course of cake and coffee was also
served.
So absorbed were all in the good
time they were having that the night
was creeping into the "wee small
hours" ere they dispersed to their
homes, unanimously grateful to the
hostess for most delightful evening.

TWO BASKETBALL
GAMES TO Be PLAYED
WHITMAN COLLEGE TEAM TO
MEET UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

Coach David MacMillan's Univer-
| sity of Idaho basketball luminants
Thursday and Friday will undergo
one of their most severe ordeals of
the present quintet in two game
series. Both games are to played in
the university gymnasium. Il
Whitman won the northest confer
ence title last year and the Mission
aries have been travelling a speedy
gait thus far this season. Rich, a
brilliant forward and Comrade, a
husky aggressive and intelligent
guard, are two of Borleske's men said
to be sure of places on the 1921 all
northwest five.
For the past several days Coooh
Macmillan has been devoting almost
his entire attention to perfectmg the
team play of the Idaho five. Inac-
curate passing and the failure of one
or two men to catch team signals
promptly have been the subieecs of
his particular ire
It is thought that the Silver and
Gold lineup will be substantially
changed for the two Whitman games:
Captain Elra Hunter, who has been
performing capably at running
guard, is said to be the only man
sure of his position.
Coach Macmillan may use either
Eugene Hyde of Boise, Howard Nc
Quaig of Coeur d'Alene or Bill Car
tin of Caldwell at the other guard
and either Pat Perrine of Nez Perce
or Bill Carder of Moscow at center.
He will pick his forwards from a
field of contestants, including the Fox
brothers of Nez Perce, Leslie N. Moe
of Kellogg, Adrian Nelson of Mos
COW and Eugene Ostrander Of Twin
Falls

Nv Y HEN the Congress comes in
M some time in April. tariff will be
wv the subject of paramount interest,
because the House will have the
general revision of the tariff under consdera-
ton. The committee ways and means will
have completed hearings which havet been in
progress for some time, and will report bill
completely revising the existing tariff rates.
In that Congress will be many senator's and
representatives serving their first term, un-
familiar with tariff rates and customs duties,
and their bearing upon revenues and industries.
In former days. newcomers would have looked
to the elder statesmen of their respective parties
for guidance. and would have found definite
party alignment as to tariff policies.
When they look to them now they will find
the elder statesmen divided in their opinion
to tariff policy This is true as to republicans
well democrats.
Republicans will be heard advocating high
rates of duty in one faction. They will be
charged by another faction with being behind
the times" "out Of step with progress" living
in the past" and otherwise fouted as out of
touch with the spirit of the hour. Already are
there echoes of such assertions in committee
hearings on the tariff bill. The men thus as
sailed will retort that the "progressives" don't
know what they are talking about" and
"sstraying from the broad path of republican
protective tariff policy trod by the feet of great
republicans for two score years." Democrats
will be glaring at each other and exchanging
recriminatfons of much the same sort.

Take the occasion in the Senate last We'd
nesday when the emergency tariff bill now
pending in that body was up. Senator Under

being repugnant to every principle Of democ-
racy on question of taxation at the CUSTOM
house." He prophesied that if it should pass
President Wilson. being democrat, would veto
it because of it's violation Of democratic prin-
ciples
Senator Ashurst of Arizona democrat
born in the blood and bred in the bone, couldn't

bitterly opposed to any revival of trade
with Russia as long as Lenin and
Trotsl<y remain in power. and may be
expected to resume with fever heat her
efforts to align all pr the smaller ma
tons in the Balkans and eastern Europe
against the extension of soviet infiu-
'ence, as would come through revival of
trade relations between England and
Russia.
France distrusts Germany not more
than she distrusts the soviet regime in
Moscow. and justly so. and should
France succeed in bringing about a def
mite coalition between Latvia, Lithuania
and other OF the Balkan states and
bring about definite working arrange
ment between Poland, Rumania and
Hungary, any agreements effected be-
tween England and the soviet might be
overthrown. Particularly would this be
true should the hoped-for overthrow of
the soviet come to pass. The border
states are not expected to enter into a
war of aggression against the soviet,
but it is reliably reported that the boil
sheviki are preparing for spring drive.
and, in case war is started. France, in
SO far as she would be able to do SO.
would give aid.
French May Lose.
But, according to the British view
point, any effort of France running
contradictory to a policy of revival of
trade in Russia and Germany means
the eventual wane OF French influence
on the continent If the British can
effect definite trade agreements with
Germany and Russia this will bring
three OF the largest powers into work.
ing harmony and the whole continental
economic situation may be saved, with
consequent influence for those allevi.
atfng present uncertainties.
With definite break on reparations,
the one dream of the French would have
been realized however, and, that the &C.
cupation of the Ruhr and possibly the
left bank of the Rhine, for with the
French left to their own devices in the
enforcement Of the Versailles reparations
terms there would be no other course,
for Britain most certainly would with
draw her armies Of occupation in pro-
testing the French action. Should
Belgium side with Lloyd George in
regard to the whole reparations adj
justment France might find herself in
the position she has long feared
complete isolation from allied Corpora
ton. This may have been a determining
factor in acceptance Of the new repara-
lions terms, for France. does not want
to stand alone and Britain does not
want France to occupy the Ruhr.
And, finally. had the allies failed to
agree, and had they split. Germany
might, have gone far in escaping the
penalties imposed when representa-
to draw up the reckoning.

GREEMENT Of the allied supreme
~ council in Paris on the repara-
~ tons question bridges a chasm
= which during the week appeared
to yawn for future amicable relationships
between the powers. Under the COM
promise arrangement effected Germany
is to pay. covering period Of forty two
years, sum Of 226. 200, 900. 600 gold
marks and a IL per cent tax on her
exports, with certain minimizing fea-
lures.
This is a distinct compromise be-
tween the varying viewpoints Of Lloyd
George and BRAND. At the same time
it approaches the British statesman's
that in the fixing of repa-
ratipns it should be done with an eye
single to Germanys ability to pay,
while at the same time the French
are insured a maximum collectable
SUM which, by payment. through the
years, bridges extremely trying finan-
cial problems for the nation.
Though the reparations agreement
may be reported fixed. there yet re-
mains a question as to whether 1t will
be carried out. The whole question in
and out Of the Paris conference of
peace has been moot one for many
months and subject to changes with
various French governments. If
he is overthrown in the next twelve
months before present arrangements
ARE crystallized and actually initi-
ated, still further storm clouds will
be faced.
Though the situation was trying,
Great Britain and France both real
lied the terrible menace in continu-
ing the question indefinitely, and. fur
thermore. they fully appreciated that
the very life Of all entente agree
ments was at stake.
Far-reaching scramble to enhance DO
litical prestige throughout the old world
appeared to be near between France and
Great Britain. Should the two countries
have broken irretrievably on the ques-
ton Of German reparations there would
have remained nothing to prevent Great
Britain proceeding with her purported
desire to cultivate German trade, even
at the expense Of France, and also bring
about virtual recognition of the soviet
regime in Russia through revised trade
agreements.
With Britain pursuing an Independent
course in Russia and Germany in con-
tradistinction to the ideals OF the Paris
foreign office. France, no longer being
obligated first to consult Downing street,
would pursue her own devices in effect
ing political and economic agreements
| with all whom she might see fit. The
French policy, as to Germany and Rus
STA, is radically different from that of
Lloyd George With Lloyd George and
BRAND unable to agree on the main
question Of the hour-the sums to be
paid by Germany for her deviltry during
the world war-there would have re-
manned little else. save enforcement OF
minor treaties to invite continued CO.
