China and four Latin American States
A treaty between the United States
and Panama was ratified Feb "a, 1904,
and in accordance with its terms canal
zone ten miles wide was transferred to
the United States, the consideration be-
ing $4,000, 600 in cash and an annual
payment of S25O,OOO in perpetuity to
Panama. These are, in brief, the facts
as presented in the Senate debate. Al
though we think the debate shows that
the United States is under no present in
debtedness to Colombia, either legal or
moral, we believe the decision of the
Senate was wise one. Prudent men
look beyond the present and forecast as
best they can both the probabilities and
the possibilities of the future. Evidently
our senators had in mind the fact that
the French company could not sell and
convey what it did not own and that in
1867. when the railroad cession will ex-
pire, we could not deny the reversionary
right which Colombia has never relin-
ouished, The Panama railroad has today
an appraised value of nearly $4,000, 00(
and this valuation does not take into &C.
count its value as means for the main.
tenance and defense of the canal By
voting 5000, 600 to Colombia we get :
clear title to the railroad, to the cana
and to the canal zone and Colombia il
obligated by the treaty to maintain ant
defend that title. We have invested
S459 600, 600 in our canal enterprise ant
we ought to have not only clear, bu
an undisputed title to it.

GREAT BRITAIN IS NOW
AFTER GREEK OIL LANDS
(By United Press)

Athens, Feb. 11.-Discovery of
valuable oil bearing deposits in vari-
Gus parts Of Thrace and around Epir-
US has injected new difficulties in the
political situation of the Levant.
England and France are both en-
deavoring to secure concessions which
will greatly strengthen their <strategi-
cal naval poaition and at the same
time make Greece virtually economi-
cally dependent upon them.
According to authoritative infor-
nation from Americans who have
been investigating the situation in the
Levant and Near East, the United
States is virtually blocked so far as
oil holdings are concerned. France,
England, Holland and Italy have
''cornered" every known prospect"
in Mesopotamia, Rumania, Turkey
and the Black Sea region.
Thus far, foreign capitalists have
not completely cornered the Greel,
prospects, chiefly because of their
unknown quality" Propositions for
the fotation of y loan to Greece, made
by British financiers the past few
days, are reported to specify conces-
sions in oil should, the discoveries
prove of commercial value.
That Greece will favor British in
terests is foregone conclusion.

REVIVAL MEETINGS AT
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

The First Baptist church will begin
special revival meetings next Sunday
with A. Lee Aldrich of Minneapolis
as evangelist. The campaign will be
continued for a period Of three weeks
from Feb. 13 to March inclusive,
services being held every evening, ex-
cept Saturday evening, at 500
o'clock.
Aldrich is we'll known in Mime
sofa and adjacent states where he
has been engaged in evangelistic
work since 1914. He has conduct ed
nine campaigns in Minneapolis and
St. Paul alone, and holds the record
Of six consecutive union tabernacle
campaigns in the city Of Minneapolis,
a record unequalled by any other
evangelist in any other city in Am
erica.
Concerning the character of his
work a recent issue of Church and
the Northwestern Bible and Mission
airy Training school has this CON-
ment, "A. Lee Aldrich is rapidly max
ing a national name as an evangelist.
Yet in his comparative youth, he ia
conducting more and larger taber-
nacle meetings than almost any evan
gelist in America, Billy Sunday ex.
cepted. Aldrich's name in Minnesota
is we'll nigh household word. Few
Of its larger towns but he has pro.
foundry moved with his messages
while in minneapolis and St. Paul
he has accomplished thru the taber-
nacle meetings what no other evan
gelist has ever dared to undertake in
the entire history of the twin cities
He has Just closed a four weeks
campaign in the First Baptist church
of Minneapolis, where remarkable re.
suits have been achieved. The local
church is fortunate in securing the
services of this great preacher and
evangelist. He will preach in both
the morning service at 1880 and
the evening service at 500 next Sun
day. -

AIDED
/. BY WOOD SALES
Farmers IN Vicinity Of Bagley
Realize Big Return. From
:, !. s: Sale Of Wood " .,E-Z
Especial to Pioneer)

a NAoPSkAAA ~ AOACSlJ
Bagley. Feb. 11.-One hundred and
tifty-four car loads Of pulp wood have
been shipped out of Bagley so far this
season and It iss estimated that at
least that number of car loads are in
piles along the railroad right of way,
and from five t0@seven car loads are
being hauled, In daily by the farmers.
The price Of pulp on board the cars
lis $14 per cord and the car averages
sixteen cords each making value OF
1924 per car. A low estimate of the
numbered cars which will be shipped
out OF this station this season is plac-
ed at 1000, which, at $14 per cord,
brings the total receipts from this
source to $4,000. Over $4,000 cords
Of soft and hard wood are in piles
In the wood yards adjoining the right
OF way. The average price per cord
of cord wood this season is Sc. This
means $4,000 revenue received from
cordwood or aStotal for pulp and cord
wood of $4,000
From these figures it may easily be
seen that the farmer, who has a
summer and fail from his grain and
stock, but source of revenue he can
draw upon during the winter as we'll,
is doubly better Of than the one-crop
farmer. This, undoubtedly. is one
reason why the condition of farmers
In this timbered country is never one
Of total failure f.the season is such
as to make his grain crops or his
hay crop light There Is the added In
come from his timber acreage which
will help in a large measure to make
up for the lack. elsewhere.

RED RIVER VALLEY MEN
DISCUSS RURAL CREDIT
President of Federal Land
Bank Declares Farmers De-
serve Liberal Credit

Crookston, Mimi, Feb. 11.-There
Is no one in the world whose earn
ing power Is more certain than the
farmer, e. G. Duane, president of the
st. Paul Federal Land bank told
farmer, f. G. Duane, president of the
River valley here today.
For this reason he said, If no 9TH
or, the farmers deserves liberal cred-
1t.
But there is one danger" he
warned. 1--WE don't want to give the
farmer too much credit. In some
places the farmers have been spoiled
with too much credit. They never
will catch up until conditions arc
changed. Their money Is always
spent before they earn it. They new
er have margin---interest eats It
up and someone else Is operating on
the margin the farmer should have"
Quamme addressed the convention
on the subject of farm credits. Hun
dreds Of farmers Of the northwest
are here for the annual midwinter
livestock and agricultural shows and
the "short course in farming and
home economics at the northwest
school of agriculture.
"The farmer needs both long term
and short term credit" Quamme told
the convention. Long term credit
Is required to take care OF his capital
investment to cover the cost Of land
and equipment; short term credit
is seasona'bly required to take care Of
seed, feed, labor, operating expenses,
etc. There is, therefore clear line
Of division between short term and
long term credit to farmers.
Long term or capital investment
credit should be extended over long
period OF time, repayable on the am
irritation plan with low rate Of in
terest; short term credit should be
available at all times according to
the needs OF the farmer and the rate
Of interest would be such az 1t usual
ly paid by business generally. This
classification of credit would apply to
agriculture generally Il where the
farming community Is established.
I'm the newer sections where pio-
neering must be done, another form
OF credit must be considered which
does not come strictly under either
one Of the two classifications. The
pioneer farmer must receive special
consideration and assistance during
the initial period until he has had
time to firmly establish himself on
the farm. As he has very little Sc
curity to offer in, the initial stage
of his operations, the credit he re-
ceives must be more or less of a per-
sonal nature and while the credit
will be extended on a short time ba-
sis, 1t really takes on the character
of a combination OF both short and
long time credit" -. s.

By Henry L. Farrell,

United Press Staff Correspondent
: New York, Feb. 11.-Jack Curley's
ban on the deadlock hold" in wrest-
ling bouts in New York has divided
the ranks of the grapplers and mat
fans. - ~ -, -.
Mostly effected by the edict Of the
promoter who, has become practically
the controller lof the sport in Amer
lea, Of course, zig the heavyweight
champion, Ed '.Strangler" :"9 Lewis,
who worked his way up and won the
title by the. 'headlock." .-.,-'s.
Lewis claims that the prohibition
of his pet hold will just about ruin
him as the most lucrative matches
are staged in New York and as small
er promoters in other states are fol-
lowing the lead Of Curley in outlaw
ing the hold. E.
Many fans claim the deadlock is
not more Furnishing or brutal than
the scissors" Of the former champion,
Joe Stecher, or the toe hold.
Earl Caddock, judged by, many
fans the best Of all the present crop
of matmen, is among the grapplers
who side with Lewis and claim that
the hold is not so dangerous that it
should be ruled out. ;a
Lewis ID highly wrought up over
Curley's action claiming that no COM
plant was made about the hold until
he won the title. C..
Curley bases his action on the
grounds that the public and the press
demanded 9 ban on the grip after
Lewis had injured several opponents.
