ORGANIZATIONS ARRANGE
 CLEANUP AT CEMETERY

A practical observance of Memor- ial Day has been arranged by the civic and fraternal organizations of Nenana, headed by the Board of Town Trustees and Pioneers, and a cordial invitation is extended to the public to cooperate in the move ment, the purpose of which is to put the Nenana cemetery in pre- sentable appearance and eliminate the fire risk, which is menace to the headboards and enclosures mark ing the various graves.
 The members of the local igioo of Pioneers already have done a lot of work at the cemetery in past seasons, but much remains to be done, and it is planned to interest the public in the cleanup movement with a view to arranging trip to the cemetery on Sunday, with tools and punches. If a sufficient number will assist, the work can be done in day. ..:~: ..:
 Arrangements have been made with Superintendent T. K. Blakey, of the Alaskan Engineering com mission, for the use of hand cars for the trip to the cemetery, and for all the tools that will be needed to do the work. @-..=:
 The clearing party will gather at the Commission dock at eight o'clock Sunday morning, and the committee in charge is prepared to provide all the transportation that will be re- quired, so none need hold back on that account. Each volunteer is expected to take a lunch with him, as it is the intention to spend the entire day at the work, or as much of the day as may be required to dispose of the brush and stumps which now mar the beauty of the cemetery tract.
 The practical manner in which it is planned to observe the day should appeal to Nenanaites and is expected that there will be generous response to the invitation to help. Those citizens who cannot get away will have the privilege of delegating a good worker to represent them, but it is hoped that every one will strain a point to be on hand.

London, Aug. IA (by the Asso-

tempt Is made to minimize the
peril to the Irish negotiations, re-
sulting from the crisis brought
about by the reply OF the Irish re-
publican government to Premier
Lloyd Georges proposals, the Sun
day newspapers find a glimmer of
hope in the fact that no rupture in
the negotiations has occurred, II
is pointed out that the exact status
of the negotiations cannot be APP
preciated until the reply sent by
Eamonn de Valera has been made
public.
The Times reluctantly concludes
on the basis of "opinion held In
very high quarters that de Va
lera's reply is regarded by the
British government equivalent to
the rejection of it's proposals.
But we have not abandoned
hope" the Times says. However
there can be no settlement until
1rishmen understand that Eng

sciences and that our nationality
has the indefensible right to
protect itself against it's enemies.
Let them understand that and the
door is wide open to their own lib

HIKING, EATING,

Bows AT Camp Said To Be

AT Alarming Rate; Claim
to Enjoy Own Cooking.

Lots of sleep, lots of eats, and
lots of exercise is the program at
the boy scout camp in Cienega
canyon, according to Lyman Kid
doc, scoutmaster of troop No. i,
who returned to Albuquerque yes
terday from the camp. The boys
hiked to the forest ranger station,
about three miles from the camp.
yesterday, and are planning a hike
to Whitcomb springs today.
The scouts are said to be piling
into the grub rations at tremend-
Gus rate, and claim to enjoy their
own cooking hugely. Paul Ham
mond, of the headquarters troop,
was elected chief cook, and directs
the operations of the details select-
ed to assist him.
Bacon and beans, army style, are
the basis of the camp menu, though
salmon cakes proved immensely
popular when tried out yesterday
at the noon dinner, Cabbage, rad
ishes and other vegetables provide
relish at every meal. Breakfast
consists of corn glakes or other
cereal, prunes, eggs and coffee.
Scout officials are reported to be
alarmed at the rapidity with which
rations are decreasing, and are
contemplating hurry-up call for
additional supplies. q
The evening campfire provides
a romantic touch to the camp, and
the boys are said to enjoy 1t greatly.
After the supper dishes are wash
ed the scouts gather round the big
lire to tell stories and play games.
promptly at O'clock, however,
the bugle calls the boys to bed in
order that they have plenty of rest
after the days hiking.
The camp has had several heavy
rains since the scouts arrived FRI
DAY afternoon, but the boys do not
allow 1t to interfere with their
plans, taking short hikes between
showers. Saturday afternoon It
rained steadily, and the tents were
so badly soaked that the bows stepl

AN OUTLET FOR
SUGAR CROP IS
SOUGHT BY CUBA

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 14.-The
problem confronting the Cuban
government as result of the coll
lapse of the sugar market is set
forth by Diario De La Marina I'M
der the heading "The Sugar Crop,
la Dilemma for President Zaya,"
as follows:
According to the last weekly
bulletin sugar production, on July
16, reached a total of 3,508,20S
(long) tons. Six huge mills in
Oriente province, which continue
grinding, will swell the total of
our crop to 100000 tons.
exports from the present crop
up to July 16 were only 1,552,572
tons, compared with 2,s60,716 tons
exported only A per cent of the
production, against the IS per cent
of last year and we still have a
stock close to 100000 tons, which,
as a result of the state of the
American and other markets, it will
be virtually impossible to place
during the present year. The COM
ing crop will be started with a
market so saturated that the
prices will be ruinous.
at appears that. the United
States will not need this year even
100000 tons more of our supply
and as Europe with its high ex-
change does not care to pay cash,
the sugar sales commission will
not be able to find an outlet for
our surplus, which will exceed
100000 tons.
This situation presents the. fol-
lowing dilemma: Leave the sugar
industry to its own fate; allow the
sugar to be sold at two cents a
pound, or at the price available
when market offers itself; allow
foreign creditors to acquire those
sugar mills still held by Cubans;
allow foreign banks and the sugar
commission to sell to the highest
bidder the sugar plantations and
have, within a year, Cuba's prin-
cipal industry in the same state as
the railways. the telephone systems,
the port warehouses. ETC.. entirely
foreign owned; or do something
have the state, comply
ing with one of the highest duties
for which 1t is created, shield this |
industry, as did the German, gov
ernment in former times; as Brazil |
did more recently with her coffee; |
as the Chilean government Is doing |
now with the nitrate industry.
ITO be or not to be, that is the |
question for Doctor Zayas.
ITO fulfill its duty and protect
the sugar industry, the government
must do one of two things; become
the only vender in Cuba of sugar /
or buy a large part Of the actual I
crop to avoid the conflict produced L
by excess world production.
There is no other solution. And |,
here is no time to waste"

The proportion of Kansas farms
operated by tenants is higher than
the average for the entire United
States. In 1910 tenant farms num-
bered 2,364,676 or 81 per cent of
all farms. In 1920 tenant farms
numbered 2,454,746 or 1871 per
cent.
Kansas, however. shows lower
per cent of farm tenants than Iowa
(1.T, Nebraska (41.7) or Illinois
(42.D. Tenantry increased in each
of these states the last decade in
about the same ratio that it did in
Kansas. In Missouri, for some I'M
explained reason, tenantry dropped
from 29.9 per cent in 1910 to 28.S
per cent last year.
Governor Allen has long advo-
Gated legislative provision for ex-
tension of aid to farm purchasers.
An amendment to the state consti-
tuition to make this possible was
adopted last fall, but because of
unfavorable economic conditions.
enactment of farm aid law was
deferred by the 1921 legislature at
request of the governor.
i The general effect of farm ten
antry, Secretary Mohler declares,
Is to dissipate the soil and lower
productivity. At the same time
the spiritual benefit of pride in
owning ones home is lost.
One of the most important con-
tributing causes of tenantry in
Kansas, Mohler believes, is the
one-year lease system. The tenant
never knows whether or not he
will be on the same farm more
than year. The natural tendency
Is for him to plant cash crops. dis
the principles of rota-
ton and cropping which build up
soil fertility. Livestock can not be
produced on large scale because
Of the uncertainty of tenure. This
also robs the soil of possible fer
tility.
Mohler points out. however, that
It is much better for man to rent
\ farm than to go too heavily in
debt. AS rule, those who buy on
! "shoestring" have no capital with
which to provide needed equip
ment. The result is the purchaser
seldom can produce enough to pay
but. The average KANSAS farm,
according to census figures, is vail
led at approximately $4,000 for
The land and $1,000 FOR buildings
and equipment.
The federal figures agree in the
main with special report on ten
lntry prepared by the state board
asst winter. That report revealed
he striking fact that the per cent
# tenants in the eastern part of
Kansas actually decreased in the
asst ten years. The percentage of
Increase was largest in the western
.ounties. Kiowa county, In the
outhwest, reported the largest per
.ent OF tenants, 51.4, and Butler
ounty was second with 500. The
'ther counties ranged from Sc
lown to 1868 per cent. the lowest,

POLICE GRAPPLE
WITH YOUTH 325
FEET IN THE AIR
New York Boy Climbs to the
Small FIagpoIe Platform
of a Tower of Bridge Over

(By The AssocIated Press. J

New York. Aug. 14.-On the
small flagpole platform of a tower
Of the Williamsburg bridge, 1926
feet above the East river, two po-
liceman grappied with a youth to-
day while hundreds of persons
stood breathless on river craft, the
bridge roadway and adjacent
streets. Supdued after a brief
struggle, the youth who gave his
name as Joseph Herzog, was car
ried down a narrow spiral stairway
on the back of one of the police
men and sent to Bellevue hospital
for observation.
Climbing unobserved to the plat
form, 230 feer above the roadway,
Herzog attracted the attention of
passersby by gesticulating wildly
and cutting capers. Traffic was
soon blocked.
The two policemen went up af-
ter him and he strongly resisted
their efforts to take him down.
The three swayed back and forth
in imminent danger of death be-
fore the open mouthed spectators
below.
Herzog was seen to fall to the
platform with the policemen on
top OF him and few minutes lat
er he was being carried down the
stairs. The shrieking of river
craft, the blowing of automobile
sirens and the cheers Of the crowd
greeted the policemen as they
stepped from the stairway and
placed their charge in an ambu-
lance. The young mans relatives
told the police that the youth had
threatened to commit suicide
few days ago.
