The local minister intimated in his sermon on Why Do Fish Bite Better on Sunday Than Any Other Day? ?" that the theory was de1usion and a snare and a hoax to keep good fisher men away from church. That night friend brought him a fine string of fish and the saddle of a frog.
 While the minister still is in doubt on his original proposition he is cer- tain that it pays to advertise.-Lama (Ga-) Journal.

SODA DEPOSIT LIKE SNOW

In the midst of barren and water less waste in British East Africa is what appears o-be a lake covered with coating of snow practially thawed and then frozen again. So complete Is the deception that a stranger for a moment fails to re- alize the impossibility of there being snow and ice in the midst of heat that is almost intolerable. It Is in reality practically inexhaustible deposit of soda.
 To the travellers this district in the dry season is to have ones feet burn ed through ones shoes. and the sharp soda spikes will pierce any but the thickest soles.

lRepubIIean A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Ccn- gress was ready tonight to quit work tomorrow for 80 days regardless of what might happen to the ti-beer bill.
 Soon after adoption of the confer ence report on the measure by the house it was sent to the senate. called up and given the right of way, but, by general agreement, subject to displacement by a conference report on the agricultural relief bill.
 The senate remained in session to- night in order to have the latter measure before it, as leaders had agreed that it was the most pressing recess.
 There were indications tonight that if prohibition leaders were bent upoS keeping the anti-beer bill to the fore, fits opponents would attempt to talk it to death. Republican leaders de- clared, however, if the farmer bill could be made ready for the presi- dents approval, the recess would be- gin at the time set, leaving the beer question open for action in the fall.
 Senator Sterling, Republican of South Dakota, chief for the senate managers, in explaining the compro- mise on the Stanley amendment re- lating to search of homes. which the senate had adopted by unanimous vote some weeks ago, declared there had been hope of having the house approve it as originally drafted.
 Thre were constant interruptions from senators, who insisted tha. the law making mans home his castle was as old as the world. Senator Sterling insisted, however, that under the compromise a home could not be searched except on warrant ob- tained from a court, but no warrant was required to search other property provided an officer had reasonable cause to suspect violation of law and | was not accompanied by violence. | When the senate adjourned late to- night until 10 o'clock tomorrow the beer bill was still under discus sion, with prospects of considerabl. more talk before reaching a vote. i | that should prove to be possible be I fore the recess.
 Adoption of the conference repor 1 was urged by Senator Nelson, Repun lican of Minnesota, who declared tha | the brewers, having failed to brini back the '.genteel drink" of wine an'
 beer, were trying to get beer for tn
 sick to keep the American race iron
 perishing. But it was to the credi
 of the medical profession. he added that it had opposed the old tim

Believes Public Should Be Excluded At Many Of
 The Discussions IS HARDING PLAN Government Not To Insist That All Disarmament
 Sessions Be Open
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-A belief on the part of the administration that this government should not in- sist on open sessions at the dis armament conference became mani fest today both in congress and among high administration officials.
 In the senate the question furnish ed the theme for colorful debate, during which Senator Lodge, the Re- publican leader, who has been se- lected as delegate to the conference, led fight against senate action to pledge the American representatives to demand that the assembled pow CTS sit with open doors
 No Objection to Secret Sessions
 At the same time among admins tration officials it was outlined as a definite purpose of the government to refrain from determined objection to secret sessions. Not only was it indicated as the belief here that del- icate subjects could not profitably be discussed in the open. but it was suggested that to insist on such a course might meet with such strong opposition from abroad as to wreck the whole program of the confer ence.
 Confirming reports from Berlin that the treaty negotiations with Germany are being conducted secret ly at the request of the United States, high officials emphasized it as a con- viction of this government that dip- lomatic conversation cannot develop a frank exchange of views If full publicity is given every step. So far as publicity may be given without endangering frankness and without | offending other powers, however, of | ficials are said to be in favor of it. | A similar attitude was taken in the senate debate by Senator Lodge who has been in frequent conference with l President Harding since his selection as a delegate. Although declaring that the largest publicity compatibls l with the public interests" should 1 characterize the conference. the Re. I publican leader asserted it was wholly l s'impossible and impracticable" ts l conduct negotiations in full view O. the public.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-The pros- pecuve trip to Mexico of committee composed of five presidents of the largest American oil companies to confer with President Obregon is not looked upon with favor by the Amer ican Association of Mexico, an or ganization formed to represent the interests of land owners and many other Americans who formerly resid- ed in Mexico in connection with minor interests.
 Through, the provincial executive committee, consisting of w F. Buck ley. Paul Hudson and Sidney A. smith. the American associate has protested to Secretary of State
 Hughes and Secretary of the Interior Fall against efforts to settle a part of the questions between the United States and Mexico at a time when negotiations are under way looking to a settlement of all questions at issue The committee also is tele- graphing its objections to President
 The protest recites that while the American Association of Mexico. lis equally convinced that the new oil taxes are outrageous and confisca- tory, the sending of such a powerful committee to Mexico at this time to adjust one detail of the differences between the two countries will give undue importance to this phase of the international question" The protest further asserts:
 Adjustment of present controversy over taxes would be far from a set
 clement of the oil question in Mexico
 and much less a settlement of the attitude of the Mexican government with regard to property rights and
 the interests in general of Americans
 in Mexico. If compromise on the oil tax should be effected. or if through this formidable committee , the oil companies should be able to force a decision on their various com plaints. every effort would be made by Mexico to have such settlement accepted as settlement of the whole Mexican question.
 This must not be permitted Americans should clearly understand and the Mexican government also must comprehend that an adjustment
 of oil taxes, or a settlement of the oil companies troubles cannot by any
 means be considered as compliance with the demands of the American government and does not constitute the complete and permanent settle ment of all the important Mexican
 questions that the present situation deua and '

 The statement, given out by Samue q Compers, president or the federation, said organized labor cannot help but enter it's protest not only against the unwarrantable intervention by the judiciary of the rights of congress in expressing the will of the people, but in this special instance against legis- lation which every intelligent, pa triotic and humanity loving citizen holds to be justifiable and essential The council also asked that steps be taken ito bring the judiciary with in the folds of its component and not dominating part of the government ot our republic"
