Debt PACT NEEDED
FOR GOOD OF WORLD
SAYS BRITISH BANKER

LONDON, April 10.-Frederick C..
Goodenough, widely known British
banker, discussing Some Aspects of
the Problem of Inter-Allied Debts and
Preparations Payments" at a luncheon
given by the American Chamber of
Commerce today, said it would be for
the common good of the world if
Britain and America should come to
an agreement as to the economic as
poets of the problem. Abiding to the
British debt of $4,000, 900 pounds to
America, Mr.. Goodenough said:
This amount was borrowed from
America after she entered the war
and during the same period a some
what larger amount was sent by Great
Britain to her allies, in addition to
what already had been lent before
that period. 1t is important to note
that if Great Britain had not lent this
sum it would not have been necessary
for her to borrow a onepenny piece
from America. Everyone will agree
that through the action of Great BRIT
ain, America is in a better position
than if this money had not been lent
by her directly to the other allies.
Il don't suggest that Great Britain
should not pay this debt for which sh
made herself liable. My own view is
that Great Britain will inevitably pay
her debts in full, even though they
were incurred on behalf of others, bit
| feel in such case as this America
should not press us, but should give
US ample time for payment and should
lend a friendly hand in the matter of
interest by modifying the rates charg
ed in the earlier days, while We are
! finding it a hard struggle to cope with
the financial obligation which we in

1922 FARM OUTLOOK
MORE ENCOURAGING
Than A YEAR AGO

The agricultural outlook for 1922 is
somewhat more encouraging than
year ago. saws George D. Bryant,sJnd-
lana agricultural statistician, in his
last report Prices of all farm pro-
prices of products farmers buy are
somewhat lower. The equality has
not been reached however, and farm
ers will not go to any great expense
or effort to raise large crops. Acre
ages will be just what farmers sno
their families can handle alone.
Slight increases in probable crops
of wheat and rye, and IA per cen.
increase in the number of breeding
sows, over last years figures, is re-
ported There are 100000 sows on
farms now, and demand for brood
sows has been good for several
months. Quality of breeding swine is
reported extra good, but the crop of
spring pigs has suffered heavy fatali-
ties, due either to heavy feeding of
corn, or flu or pneumonia. Little
cholera is reportedfi
Weather conditions in March were
unusually favorable for wheat and con-
ditiol is excellent. A $4,000, 600 bushei
crop is promised. Condition is 80 per
cent while last year it was SO per
cent and the 10 year average at this
time is SO per cent
Rye Condition Good.
Rye is IN better condition than
wheat, 92 per cent of normal now,
against 10 year average of SO
per cent. Acreage for rye was in
creased last fall; wheat acreage re-
manned about the same.
Farm labor supply is above normal,
101 per cent against "a last year The
demand is slightly greater also being
80 per cent compared with SO per cent
last year. The per cent of supply to de-
mand for farm labor is ITO per cent
this year, compared with LOG per cent
last year and 81 per cent in 1926,
during the big shortage. Many farm.
ers have reorganized their business
SO that they can get along with less
hand labor.

HOW SHORT A SKIRT
MUST BE TO DISTURB
SCHOOL, IS QUESTION
tBy Associated Press)


LAWRENCE. Kan, April 10.-How
short a girls skirt must be to be
disturber of scholastic peace, and
when, if ever, it becomes the concern
of a school board, are questions ex-
pected to be laid before the supreme
court of Kansas, following the recent
action brought on behalf OF Alice Han
sen and Maude Buchanan, Vinland
high school, pupils against the board.
Alice and Maude are Is years old,
and both are farmers daughters.
Court action was brought by j. E. Han
sen, father of Alice, when the Vinland
school board, after adopting rule re-
curing pupils to wear skirts three
inches below the knees, decided that
the skirts of Alice and Maude did not
meet specifications, and expelled them
until such times as their skirts should
be lowered.
On application of Mr.. Hansen, Judge
Means issued a temporary order di-
recting the school board to permit the
girls TO return TO their studies. They
did so, without reservations or amend
ments as to skirt length. Then the
school board filed demurrer to Judge
Means jurisdiction, which the judge
upheld, and Hansen's attorney an
nounced an appeal to the supreme
court.
Stfrs Up Trouble.
The action of the school board
stirred up a hornets nest in the usual
ly placid community of Vinland. Sup
porters of the school board said the
board was right, that three inches be
low the knee was liberal allowance
for skirts. Others, particularly
friends of the girls mothers, said they
believed Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Blu
chanan, who made the costumes in
question at home, knew more about
what was right and modest for girls
TO wear than any three men in the
county school board directors or not
Judge Means was made the recip
lent of much unasked advice and com
mendation, from hundreds of persons
I in all parts of the United States.
| Serious minded women wrote to him
gravely, pointing out the merits OF
short skirts from sanitary stand
point
! Others feared the decadence of ma
! tional morals, and still others were
concerned over the peril to nationa
! liberties if school boards were to be
permitted to determine styles.
The most voluble adherents Of
| short skirts among Judge Means cor
| respondents were women.
! One woman said that morals an6
| skirt lengths had no connection, thai
! it was all a question of the purpose
and intent with which clothes were
worn. Another declared skirts any
where between the knees and the
I shoe tops were entirely proper.
