that makes a choice difficult.

the initial policies of the new admin

one of Mr.. Harding's oldest politica-
friends and during the campaign was
in consultation with him more otter
than anv other political adviser. He

The petition for the school bonds
is being circulated. Chairman Barn
we'll says should a sufficient number
of names be secured the election will
probably be held in June.
This election will be held under the
regular state laws, which means that
every voter will have to have reg
issration certificate. Those not hold
ing certificates will have to register
OH the first Monday in May. This is
a school district election and regis
tration ticket must come from the
regular commissioners. The law also
says that a voter must have been reg
istered for thirty days, so the first
Monday in May will be the last op-
portunity to qualify for taking part
in the election. -; -

WASHINGTON AWAITS
GERMANY'S PROPOSALS
WORLD, WILL NEED ::
COTTON SUPPLIES
Eosns Mast Surely Start in Future
:. Aunsliean Commercial Attaehe at
London Tells Of Investiga-
- ton He Has Mado

Washington, April 22-The worlds
cotton acreage must undergo a very
marked expansion in the years to
come if the supply Of raw cotton IS
to keep pace with the worlds needs,
Alfred P. Dennis, American CONNER
cisl attache at London, reported to
the department Of commerce after an
exhaustive study of the worlds ca
pacity for. consuming cotton goods.
At the present time, he said, there
is record carryover Of raw cotton.
Combined with this, there is an inn
mense amount of underproduction in
the chief cotton spinning centers Of
the world. There has been marked
setback to the purchasing power Of
the world in the amount Of cotton
goods and corresponding setback to
the production Of cotton. g
'Tt is oblivion" says Mr.. Dennis
Hthat the world has emerged from
the war with a production capacity Of
raw cotton considerably below its re-
-quirements. Coincidentally there has
been a marked decline in the output
Of manufactured cotton stuffs, that in
turn being a reflection of reduced
buying power in the great cotton coli.
suming centers of the world.
"With return.of the world to a
normal state of economy, buying
will be resumed, idle and short time
loome and spindles will be speeded
up, and an insistent demand for raw
material may be anticipated. Far
sighted representatives Of the British
cotton trade are already agitatingt
the question Of increasing the pro-
duction of raw cotton within the en-
pire.
1T seems established that the need
of the world for cotton goods within
the near. future will grow more rapid
ly than will the extension of cotton
growing areas. Increase in the sup
ply Of cotton depends very largely on
the finding of fresh cotton territory
and improving the strains Of exist
ing known cottons.
"The crop in America, which has
been averaging for the five years,
10,000,000 bales, jumped
ten years later or for the five years,
1904, to an average of 13,500,000
bales. Production in other countries
also increased. The inference must be
accepted, therefore, that through the
increase in the worlds population and
through the extension Of consump-
ton to new markets, as well as
through the inclusion of cotton into
new utilities, such as automobile
tires, the world required an increase
in. its supply of cotton. It is. stated
on high authority that the. world in !.
1914 was in q position to absorb in
nannf factured goods at least 100000
bales Of cotton more than it con-
sumed the year before.
One of the, prime factors in the
present day equation is the impover-
ishment of the world. Trade with
both Russia and Germany has
amounted to- little and while the ca
pacity in general of central and east
ern Europe to buy cotton goods has
not been destroyed it has been great
ly impaired.

washington, April 24.-Gesmany's
latest reparation proposals are ex'
tpected to reach Washington early TO-
.morrow and to be- given immediate
consideration by President Harding
and Secretary Hughes. go. =
;, It is understood that if the pro:
posals were outlined in substance in
f, the communications said to have been
exchanged between Berlin and the
allied capitals today there will per-
/: haps be no action for the United
States to take inasmuch as President
Harding already has refused to act q
mediator in the controversy.
Should the proposals be of such a
nature, however, as to warrant ac-
tion by the United States it is under
stood it win be taken only after con-
sulsation between Secretary Hughes
and the allied diplomatic representa-
tiyes here. In his last communica-
ton to Berlin Mr.. Hughes made It
plain that he would undertake to lay
Germany's proposals before the allied
governments only Sin a manner ac-
ceptable to them" : - -.
The state department tonight was
without official information as to the
character of the communication which
the Berlin foreign Office was reported
in press dispatches as having handed
today to Loring Dresel, American
commissioner at the German capital.
Meantime all comment with regard
to the whole subjec: OF reparations
was withheld. .. ....
The German answer to Mr. Hughes
memorandum of last week has been
expected during the afternoon and
some officials of the state depart
nent remained on duty to receive it.
No plans had been made, however, to
transmit it to Secretary Hughes. It
was assumed that the memorandum
was put on the cables at Berlin to-
night and that it would reach the
state department the first thing to-
morrow. It will be laid before the
secretary Immediately after it is de-
coded.

position to any federal excise tax on
land.
The attention of congress. was
called to the important and differing
factors affecting food products from
the American farm in their relation
ship to imports of like products from
foreign countries" in considering the
labor cost in making up the tariff
law. Attention of congress also was
directed to the center of food produc-
ton of the United States as being
somewhere In the Mississippi valley
while the center Of consumption is in
the populous areas Of the East many
hundreds Of miles away"
Ocean freight rates from competit-
ing countries to the consuming cen
ters were declared to be much lower
ethan are the exorbitant and increas-
ing freight rates from our farms to
our own consumers"
After setting forth that "recent ex-
periences have shown that the farm
ers are not adequately financed and
that their welfare is jeopardized
when they avail themselves of the .
present short time commercial cred
it's" the federation recommended leg
islation to provide proper authority
for commodity and cattle financing
and for personal rural credits secured
by proper insurance features. 1t also
asked that profits from the federal
reserve banks be used as revolving
fund to provide working capital dur
ing the interim between requests for.

sale in federal reserve banks or on
the open market. Increase of the
maximum amount which may be loan
ed to a single borrower from the
federal land banks from $4,000 to
$4,000 was suggested.

has been peculiarly useful and helpful,
I want to send word of Christmas
greeting to those unfortunates for
whom the Salvation Army has accom- =
plished so much.
II think we may confidently hope and
believe that the most difficult part of
that period of industrial and economic
depression which followed the war is
now passed, and that from this time
forward conditions will improve
ut has been an occasion of great
satisfaction to me that, throughout this
distressing period, there has been man
ifested all over the country so splendid
spirit of understanding and good citi-
zenship. | am sure that l do not ex-
aggerate when l say that l believe in
no other country would such splendid
order and uniform good conduct have
prevailed among the people at large
during time which involved such diff
cult living conditions for great multi
tudes of people. 1t is because our peo-
pie have shown such fortitude, such
high civic idealism, that we are so
soon emerging from the distress and
