 American visitcss ha told me that Your reprcsentati, .cted. very unwisely in Washington and because of that fact ther agree that our in- terests suffered. That is also the unan ous opi ion of the French of- ficia!s. Why? You ask.
 Change In Newspapers
 There are two reasons. First be- cause we began to notice the changed tone toward France of the America n newspapers since the conference. Sec ond. because we cannot excuse our delegates in allowing themselv to be excluded for five whole weeks from the discussions involved in the two principal topics, the Pacific and disarmament problems. These con- stitute a source of great misunder- standing which we mu try to ex- plain away. It Is agreed that Amer ica. Great Britain and JapGn acted in good faith when they said to Briand :: "The greatest differences are among us three. therefore, we shall begin by reaching an agreement among our selves in private conversations" In saying that the Americans, English and Japanese were perfectly sincere but Briand should have said when this was announced that France could not agree: that such a method was unprecedented in international conferences between great powers and that no other method was accep- table, or could be acceptable to France. except full and free frank discussion open to all.
 In the midst of the war when mari time questions were being discussed England and America usually left France alone even though not wish ing to slight her. This was mainly because they had more ships. I noticed this when the question of transportation of American forces to Europe came up and immediately pro- tested n the most friendly way bas- ing my action on the principles enun- ciated above. My protest was sym pathetically heard and satisfaction imm ediately was granted

 The coal strike has caused not the slightest inconvenience to industry and the belief persists that 1t will be settled within comparatively short time. Non-union coal centers report the market lifeless' with buy CTS holding off in the belief that prices are due for a drop.

may have upon the efficiency of government the idea being. of course. always 10 shift the burden of more considered legislation to the older statesmen of the Senate-statesmen who have to go to the people only oncc !n six years, while the represen- tatives must face the music every tw O years.

 Small Navy
 Word has come from the capitol 10 the White House in the last 24 hoIfrs to the effect that the House of Rep. resentatives is determined to go ahead with the small navy bill, cut ting the appropriation down to a point which would bring the AmerI- can navy actually below the ratio given to Japan al the Washington conference. Great Britain is fighting for the maintenance of her position as five power" There are still smaller navy forces at work in Lon don as well as in Washington. but 1t IS doubtful if they will make the In : fluence seriously felt in Parliament.
 President Harding is determined to light for America's position as a five power also. and is unalterably op- posed to radical Congress cut which would place the American forces down to a three" basis or below.
 The naval ratio, ii must be remen-

hered, was fixed at the Nasnlnk ton conference with world safety in mind. There Is certain amount of police work to do at sea at all times. Under the naval treaty America is obli- gated to share this duty with Great Britain on 5-5 basis. MT. Harding and Br Hughes feel it would be q shirking of American obligations to fail in this respect. There is also the national interest to be considered at all times.
 May Veto Measure
 The President has been reported as saying he would veto a small navy bill. He has been standing out for S0o00 men. The House says 1t will provide money to pay only 67,ooo. Mr. Harding hopes and believes the Sem ate which ratified the naval ratio treaty, will feel more keenly it's re- sponsibility and stand out for the higher figure.
 Likewise the President feels it would be folly to cut the American army below l30, 900. General Pershlng says it is little short of criminal to reduce the enlisted strength below 15N, 300. The House is figuring on 1f2,0e0 men. Here again the Senate is expected to step in and by cooper atien with the executive, to place the leg station in such shape that d threatened veto will not be consid- cred.
 The soldier bonus advocates in the Senate have dbout abandoned their threat to bring that issue immediate " to the front. Some of the older heads in the Senate have announced that the bonus cannot take prece- dence over the tariff bill. Bonu- ssg- isiation must, Of course, be considered first of all by the finance ~ommittes. That committee naturally had to give the right of way to the tariff bill. ln- asmuch as the tariff fight is likely to last all summer. 1t win be seen that the possibility Of rushing the bonus hill through this session of the Senate is somewhat remote If by any chance a bill does Eo through the Senate before the fall elections, tine rres.dent's friends will see to 1t that the measure includes it's own means Of raisirg the necessary revenues. A sales tav provision would cause end legs debate with the House, so alto gether the bonus situation fs not so bright as its advocates thought few days sgo.
 So. all things considered. President Harding has not yet taken the veto ax down from the White House wall Already il has growG hunt from non use during this administration.

A Valentine Party.

The "Merry-makers" were enter
tanned with a lovely valentine party
Tuesday evening, February 18th, by
Misses Agnes Erckmann and Marian
NcFadden at the home of the latter.
The color scheme chosen for the
occasion was red and white, and
the valentine idea was charmlngly
carried out. After the needles had
been put aside the guests were IN
vited into the dining room, where
covers were laid for ten. A lovely
cupid amid shower of hearts and
arrows formed the center decoration
of the table; red baskets used as
bonbonniers and attractive place cards
ADORNED with dainty cupids holding
tiny red bows and arrows added a
further note of distinction to the color
scheme. In most unique fashion,
through the four courses of the menu
the color scheme was suggested
Those present were: Misses Carrie

County Clinic.

On Thursday, February 9, at the
meeting of the County Medical Asso-
citation, there was held the first meet
ing of the County Clinic. There were
eight children examined at this time.
Most of these children were from the
same section of the county and were
brought there largely through the eff
forts of the teachers of the school
in the community.
This Clinic can be wonderful thing
for the county if it is properly appre-
ciated by the people. The doctors
are giving their time and are doing
all they can to improve the county
from a health stand point.
Any one wishing to attend the next
meeting of the Clinic which will take
place on Thursday, March 9th, are
asked to get in touch with the Red
Cross Secretary, who will furnish
them with the necessary blanks which
ale to be filled out and brought in
when the person comes for examina-
tion.

Executive Committee Elected.

At the first meeting of the Board
OF Directors of the Tri-State Tobac-
CO Growers Cooperative Association
held in Raleigh, N. c., last week the
following five directors were chosen as
their executive committee:
Geo. A. Norwood, Goldsboro, N. c.,
president; Bright Williamson, Darl-
irgton, S. c., for vice-president from
South Carolina; Joseph H. Hurt,
Blackstone, Va, vice-president from
Virginia, together with J. H. Gallo
way, Greensboro, n. c., and H. j.
Watkins, Sr., South Boston, Va, as
additional members; NJ. o. Wilson of
Keysville, Va, was elected secretary
and treasurer. The association was
incorporated at Raleigh.
The board adopted bylaws and at
tended to other detail matters in
cident to forming the permanent or
ganization. The reports from the
Kentucky Burley association, reach
irg the Florence headquarters daily,
elc most gratifying and encouraging.
Il is reported that the Kentucky Or
ganization has just closed several
large deals, one of which was to one
cf the large companies for twenty
two million pounds at very satisfac-
tory prices. These tobaccoes are be-
ing delivered at the warehouses of the
association direct from the growers.
Mr.. James N. Kehoe of the execu-
tive committee is reported as saying
in an interview that, "there seems
t. me little probability that we shall
have to hold any considerable portion
'of the association crop for longer
than few weeks at the most" This
is encouraging news to the Tr-State
association for it does away with the
overhead expense OF re-drying and
storing.
