DID THE PRESS AGENT FAILY

fFrom the Waterloo es-Tribune)
At last we are at peace with Ger
many. When the peace resolution was
signed by the president the other day
we were supposed to throw our hats in
the air and shout with joy. The press
agents tried to make of the signing Of
the peace resolution another Armistice
Bay. But no hats were thrown in the
air and no shouts of JOY were heard.
The climax failed to appear-the whole
celebration fell fiat.
And why not? The American people
are looking at the practical side of
things these days. Nothing but re-
suits interest them. Great things were
advertised to happen when the con-
gress passed the peace resolution. But
the public knew that great things
would not happen. that things would
go on just the same as before. The
public was we'll aware that congress
declaring peace did not settle the
whole thing. The public knew that to
have peace, a treaty of peace with Ger
many would be necessary-a settle
ment of affairs growing out of the war.
Supporters of the peace resolution,
somewhat nettled because the big cell
ebration failed, declare now the peace
resolution means commercial under
standing with Germany. But the public
is well aware that trade has been go
ing on with Germany all the time; that
Germany has been buying goods here
for herself and for her customers in
Russia and that we have been buying
from Germany. The peace resolution
makes not particle of difference, as
far as trade is concerned.
Let us turn moment to Germany
and get her idea. Official Germany
cannot make out what the peace res
olution really means. A statement
carried by a press association, says,
"the German government is not quite
clear what its next step ought to be
when the official American notifica-
ton is received. In this, as in all
other moves toward realization of
peace and normal relations, Germany
will await Washington's initiative"
But the Germans understand what the
peace resolution means just about as
well as we do. We declare peace by
resolution. What now? Germany is
waiting. She's at peace with us, SO
far as we are concerned-if the res
olution amounts to anything. We can
not very well, being at peace with her,

FRANCE IN NEED OF RAIN
Heat Wave Threatens crops-Torrid
Weather in vienna-Many
Children Dying.

Paris, July 13.-Unless rain falls
this week the entire crops of France
are likely to be destroyed. This an
nouncement is made by the ministry
of agriculture.
All society is fleeing Paris as the
Thermometer climbs to unknown
heights, having reached 95 in the
shade. the highest point recorded since
1911.
Dispatches from Vienna report 101
in the shade and hundreds of children
are reported TO be dying from the eff

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS

Since the Fourth Of July the wealth
er has been very dry and exceedingly
warm for Iowa summer weather. And
similar conditions of much longer du-
ration prevail at the present time in
many parts of this country and Eu-
rope. In fact we have had six weeks
OF abnormally high temperatures, but
as long as the rain fall was bountiful
as it was during the month of June, all
farm crops, and especially corn, made
great progress. s
The oldest inhabitant never saw corn
as far advanced and looking as good
as it did week ago, and as good ae
most of it does today. 1t is fully three
weeks ahead of an ordinary season.
1t has rich dark green color, and
stands UP higher than mans head in
most of the fields. The poet who wrote
about walls of corn whose banners
toss on the breeze of morn had no
need to draw upon his Imagination, il
he was where he could see corn fields
like those we have in Delaware Coun-
ty at the present time.
Every day during the past six days
the writer has ridden about 80 miles
per day over different roads in the
western half Of Delaware County. AS
far as he could see the corn on all
kinds of land did well all last week,
but on some Of the sandy land the crop
has suffered during the past two days.
The intense heat matured the oat
crop so rapidly that farmers had to
stop haying and go to harvesting their
small grain long before their hay was
all made. 1t is safe to say that never
before in this county will SO much
hay be cut after the grain is in the
shock. 1t is quite probable that most
all small grain has been damaged by
the excessive heat AS rule, weather
that is ideal for corn is quite the re-
verse for small grain. The hay crop is
good and in a few days the farmers
will be haying again.

Cloth Upholstery.

Cloth upholstery may be best
cleaned by beating curtains and backs
lightly with a stick or carpet heater,
after which the accumulated dust is
whisked off with a brush. Grease or
oil may be removed by an appiica-
ton of lukewarm wafer and mid
soap, applied with a wooden cloth.
There are number OF Ssoolen clean
ers which will work very well on cloth
upholstery, but gasoline aud heIzih.
have tendency to spread instead ol

HARDING WANTS
BONUS DELAYED.
Asks Congress Not to Grant
Compensation to Soldiers at
This Time.
NATION CAN'T BEAR BURDEN
Executive in Address to Senate De-
cIares IT Congress Passes contem.
plated Legislation 1t Would Hin
der Every Effort of Restoration
and Imperil the Financial Sta
biIity of the Country.

Washington. July 13.-President
Harding conveyed a solemn warning
to congress that the condition of the
nation will not permit the passage at
this time, legislation granting the ad-
justment of compensation to soldiers
who served in the World war;
Would ImperiI Nations Finances.
For congress to pass contemplated
legislation now, the President warned,
would hinder every effort of restora-
ton and greatly imperil the financial
stability Of our country"
The President took his appeal per-
sOnally to the senate and delivered
brief message in which he painted in
anything but glowing colors the eco
ncmic and financial condition Of the
country today. He pointed out that
the nation now is engaged in mighty
struggle toward restoration, and he
emphasized that this restoration can
only be brought about by careful
financing and reduced expenditures.
Urges Action on War Taxes.
The Presidents message deals chief
ly with the bonus question and the ma
tons finances, but the President took
occasion to warn congress that there
lis much confessed disappointment
that SO little progress has been made
in the reimbursement and reduction of
war time taxes" and urged early ac-
complishment of this. The President
also urged quick action on legislation
for reorganization Of the war risk and
vocational training.
Il want to emphasize the sugges-
ton that the accomplishment of the
major tasks for which you were asked
to sit in extraordinary session will
have a reassuring effect on the entire
country" the President said.
The President cited figures showing
in detail the amount expended to date
and what had been done for the sol
diers in the way of equipping them vo-
to resume their places in
civil life.

Presidents Address.

The text OF President Hardfng'S
message to the senate in part was as
follows:
"AIr President and Gentlemen of the
Senate:
There has come to my attention
the pending unfinished business before
the senate and it is an imperative
duty to convey to you the probable eff
feet of the passage at this time of
the proposed act, providing for ADJUST
ed compensation to our service men
in the World war. If this measure
could be made effective at the present
time without disaster to the nations
finances and without hindrance to inl-
perative readjustments of our taxes, it
would present an entirely different
question than that which is before
you. In personal, as well as pub
lie manner, which ought to be plight
Of good faith, have commended the
policy of generous treatment of the ma
tion's defenders, not as part of any
contract, nor as the payment Of debt
which Is owing, but as mark of the
nations gratitude. Every obligation
Is to the disabled and dependent. In
such reference as has been made to
general compensation there has been a
reservation as to the earliest consist
ent time for such action if it is taken.
Even without such reservation, how
ever, modified view would be wholly
justifiable at the present moment be-
cause the enactment Of the compensa-
ton bill in the midst of the struggle
for readjustment and restoration
would hinder every effort and greatly
lmperil the financial stability of our
country.
More, this menacing effort to ex-
pend billions in gratuities will i'm
peril our capacity to discharge our OBJ
legations to those we must not fail to
aid.
II am addressing the senate directly,
because the problem is Immediately
yours, as your unfinished business, but
the executive branch Of the govern
ment owes it to both houses of con-
gress and to the country frankly to
state the difficulties we daily are
called upon 20 meet and the added
peril this measure would bring"

GARDEN NOTES.
By M. A. c. Horticultural Dept.

Plant seed for the late cabbage
crop at once. See that the seed bed
is fine and moist. Danish Ballhead
is the most popular variety for win
ter storage. Drumhead Savoy is a
high quality variety and is excellent
for the home garden.
The first early paintings of garden
peas are growing we'll now. Time to
make another planting of the mid
season and late sweet wrinkle seeded
sorts. Allow 18 to "a inches be-
tween the rows for the dwarf variet-
les. The tall late varieties need at
least 3 or 4 feet between rows. These
should be provided with brush, wire
netting, or something similar, for
support.
Start the cultivator going early. 1t
conserves moisture and means bigger
and better crops.
Have you ever grown Swiss Chard
for greens? It's better than beets.
The leaves may be picked all sum-
mer. Fine for canning. A row 10
or 20 feet long will provide a sea-
sons supply for an ordinary family.
Lucullus is the best variety.
For slugs on roses there is nothing
better than a thorough spraying OF
dusting with arsenate of lead.
Most people sow seed too thickly
consequently many crops require
some thinning. When the plants OF
lettuce, radishes, onions, beets, car
rots, etc., are about inches high,
they should be thinned until only
the best remain, about 2 or 3 inches
apart. Thinning allows the plants
to develop larger roots, gives the
sunlight chance, and better plants
result.
