MT. Harding Blocks
 Muscle Shoals Action

Washington, June 14.-President Harding is understood to have taken determined stand yesterday against action by Congress at this time on pending bills for disposal of the governments nitrate plant at Mus cle Shoals, Ala.
 The views Of the president, as out lined by Representative Mondell of Wyoming the Republican leader, at the White House, were conveyed to the Republican steering commit tee, charged with the task of fram- ing the legislative program of the house Members of the committee declined to indicate whether they would recommend action on the bills or let the whole question go over until the December session.
 There was no intimatiOn as to how the president regards the pro- posal of Henry Ford for lease of the properties, beyond the statement that he feels the matter is 'too big to be hurriedly considered" in what mem bers regard as the closing period of the present Congress.

MINERS MOVING OUT.

It is reported that large numbers of bituminOus coal miners, hopeless l of any early settlement of the coal lstrike, are returning to their homes l in Europe.
 l This movement IS looked upon with alarm by those who fear a shortage | of fuel next winter It is quite possible that, if the strike is pro tracted, the operators may have diff ficulty in getting enough miners to run the mines at capacity and make up for lost time when the strike ia finally settled. But there is a brighter side to the picture. What lis happening in the coal industry is one of the important things that ought to happen. The industry has been over-manned There have been about three miners to every two that would be needed in a system of continuous, all-year-round employ ment. It has been largely this sur plus of workers that has made min ing seasonal occupation, with it's periods of rush work alternating with idleness. This same surplus has been responsible indirectly for the strikes. If there were fewer miners, they would not only be employed more steadily, but treated better and paid better wages. The immi- grant miners who are now emigrat- ing are doing their fellow-workers a service. It would be worth a temporary shortage, to the American public, and eventually to the coal 1 industry itself, to have them stay in Europe

PLENTY OF FOOD.

The latest report of the Agricul- |tural Department promises abundant |crops this year, in spite of decreased acreage. On the basis of the condi- Ition on June l it predicts winter wheat crop the fourth largest in the country's history, with a total lof GOT, ,000,000 bushels. The spring Iwheat crop is expected to be about 0,000, ,0O00 bushels larger than last |year's, and the spring and winter wheat together may total G0,000,- 1000 bushels more than last year. The outlook for oats is PA, ,000,. |O00 bushels more than last years production.
 Apples, peaches and pears all show improvement, particularly the apple
 crop, which was a comparative fail. lure in 1921.
 As for garden crops, there is nc lofficial record; but anyone, in any community, may form his own con lclusions. Professional and amateur gardens alike are booming. Wealth CT conditions have been generally 1 favorable.
 Clearly, Americans, at least, art luot going to lack food this year
 And if they don't, the rest of the world won't.

PARIS CONTAINS 316, 198
 MORE WOMEN THAN MEN

Paris, June 14.-According to of ficial statistics published recently, there are in Paris 316,19 more women than men. The total num- Der of men registered is i,295,l37 Out of total population of 2,906,- 472, 52,474 persons refused to give their ages Contrary to all eXpec- tation more men refused than wo- men. Of the latter only 24,900 re- fused to give their correct ages The officials dare not guess at a figure as to the number of wo- men who gave incorrect ages.
 Other figures show that more couples get married in Paris than in any other part of France or the colonies. Corsica holds the record for the smallest number of mar riages.
 Only fourteen people in every thousand die yearly in Paris, while the number of births increases yearly.

INSTITUTEFOR
 TEACHERS SET
 WEEK OF JULY 3
Term to Last One Week. Dr. George H. Tapy Will Be a Feature Speaker Others Coming.

The annual institute for teachers will convene in Paragouid, July the 3rd. 1922, and will be of one weeks duration. The reason for this ia because many of the schools of the county will wish to begin their eunmer terms, and ill order to do that the term will be cut down to one week. Further, Paragould has had a splendid chautauqua and the one weeks term will in a way meet the requirements met by the institute last summer.
 However, MT. Partlow offers several attractions. this time to the teachers and citizens which will make the institute well worth the while to attend. It will be remem- bered that Dr. George H. Tapy, of Wabash College, was here last summer for a series of lectures and attracted wide spread attention. He is to return again this time and will be heard twice day at one Of the local churches on the fol- lowing subjects:
 Psychology and the Teachers. "The Brain and Personality" Teaching Boys to Study
 "The Power of Suggestion"
 "The Subconscious Mind"
 "The Minds Eye
 "Fhe Leadership and the Crowd"
 "The Psychology of Fashion "Education for Democracy" "The Perils of Prosperity It is possible that professional story teller will be here for the usual work with children, and every teacher of classes in Sunday school should hear her She has had vast and varied experience in such work in | Y. w. c. A. and other similar institutions. She also is said to be one of the foremost primary and kindergarten teachers of Tennessee. l Dr. J. R. Grant will be here during the time for part work, so it bids fair to be a busy week in educational activity. Possibly lec- lures will be given at night by some of the prominent men of the South. However definite arrange ! mentB have not as yet been made So announcements may Le made. The work will be given down town this time for the benefit of the general public

PREPARATION REDUCTION.

The chief reason for the failure of the Genoa conference was that France refused to permit the discus sion of German reparations. France was afraid that if the subject were brought up, there would be proposals made to reduce the reparation pay ments, and she was determined to prevent that.
 The situation has changed. What the powers refrained from at Genoa, though they knew it was fundamen- tai to European reconstruction, the Reparation Commission itself is doing now. It has voted to consider the question of reducing Germany's obli- gations to the allies. And while France herself has not altered her attitude. she IS placed i'll position where she soon may be forced to yield She cast the only vote against this decision. England, Italy and Belgian voted against her. The de- sertion of Belgium is significant. France can hardly hold out long against such odds.
 Decision to discuss reparation re- auction does not necessarily mean that the German payments will be reduced but it makes such a result seem likely. The present step was taken to meet the wishes of tEe bankers conference in Paris, which has been considering 8 loan to Ger many. The loan itself is intended to enable Germany to meet the pay ments due The bankers made it clear that the reparation payments now established, which constitute first mortgage on Germany, are so high that any second mortgage would be worthless Yet a foreign loan cannot be obtained without giving second mortgage that will satisfy the lenders.
 It seems to be a question, then, of sealing down the reparation pay ments, or getting no loan to pay them with. And France may be persuaded, eventually, to accept this view of the matter, in order to get half or three-fourths of an indemnity instead of no indemnity at all.
 
 Don't be too critical of congress sional oratory. Suppose you had to get mp and argue in public every couple of years to hold your job.
 When Gen Ludendorff announces that America started the war, he isn't any more wrong than usual.

FAYETTEVILLE
 CAUSES ALL
 STARS TO FALL
Superiority of Mississippi Countians Demonstrated From Outset By Consist ent Playing.
1From Wednesdays paily)


 A baseball game was advertised to take place at All Star field yesterday afternoon between the All Stars of this city and the semi-pro nine from Blytheville. Something went wrong" somewhere for instead of ball game the snectators witnessed first a ltrack meet and then a game of pussy wants a corner The 1lnal score was IA to l and the All Stars were still hunting a corner.
 The Blytheville outfit began work on both feet in the very first in ming by getting next to Meriwether | for run. The All Stars eyened Ithe count in their half of the same Inning and things still appeared as though a ball game would be seen. | But Blytheville settled down to work | in the second, third and fourth holes and counted two markers i'll each of the three, making grand i total of seven to one. Bill Mer1- wether, the local high school. prod luct. opened the game but turned | in his ball and glove after twp more runs battered across in the fifth with only one man retired Two hits and a basket full of err
 TOTS and boneheads brought four
 runs off the delivery of Baker be-
 fore the side could be counted out ! for the frame and total of thlr- lteen runs had been chalked up. l Garfield, an outfielder, took up
 the task of pitching in the sixth and in the four rounds that ne Imounded for the All Stars only one
 run came into port. The fact was
 the Blytheville boys were simply
 'out of breath by virtue of enter ling track meet instead of bal
 game that should be played in a calm
 and orderly manner.
 Two base hits were plentiful l throughout the game, Blythevill' manufacturing five while the output for the All Stars was two. As foi Outstanding features only the clown fish pranks of the Blytheville boys Iafter they realized" the game haC Ibeen won can be mentioned. The lvisitors, by their many little schoo boy antics, helped the Paragouldian' Ito forgive and forget" The Blythe vile team displayed a brand of bal that has not been seen in these part' lin months an had the locals com lpletely outclassed and that expresGe: the situation exactly.
 The last of the two game series was set for this afternoon. Follow ling the games in Paragould, Blythe lyille nine will return to Blythevillt flor a three day program with the IJonesboro Zebras, and Sunday tho lDyersburg team will cross bats witt lBlytheville on the diamond in Ca Iruthersville, Mo.
 By the special permission of the lBlythevile management, Johnny Porter was permitted to re-entel lthe game yesterday afternoon. Thi' lfact explains the presence of Por iter's name in two different places in the box score of yesterdays game IThe score:

A committee of the HOusa ol Commons recommends 8 remarEa- ble program of reform legislation for the protection of annals used for human entertainment, as fol lows:
 First. the appointment of committee of supervisiCn to watch the training and perfor~ mances of trained animals, second, the registration of all animal trainers and places of training; third, the rignt of cruelty to animals to training quarters and performances lt all times, without previous notices; fourth, the right of the committee of supervision 70 pro
 hibit the performance of ami mals trained abroad, If It be- lieyes they were trained cruelty;
 fifth, the prohibition of t.ain- ing and performances by chm
 p.nezees and all anthrotCld al les; sixth, the giving of special attention by the committee of supervision to the training and
 perrormances of lions, tigers, leopards and hyenas; seventh, the prohibition of the use of mechanical and other appliances in animal conjuring tricks in- volving cruelty; eighth. the revision, and increasing of the penalties for cruelty"
 Nearly all of these suggestions commend themselves to any kindly person. It is not a. matter of "slop py sentiment" but matter of hu man self-respect. There is no ques tion that the training of wild ami mals for the performances of anus ing tricks is nearly always attended by cruelty
 In the case of the chimpanzee ant apes, the performances themselve are unpleasant to most people be cause of the distant but disquietins resemblance of the creatures to hu man beings Whether man is des cended from monkeylike ancestor or monkeys are degenerate men, as some hold, or whether there is n' relation except the general rela tionship of man to the brute crea tion, 1t is unpleasant just the same
