The Hague. June IS. (By Associ- ated Press)-All Europe centered its hopes today in the opening of the in- ternational conference which is dedi- cated to the task of making practical arrangements for the reentry of Rus sia into the concert of nations.
 Failure of efforts at Paris to or ganize an international loan for Ger many has undoubtedly served to aug ment the pessimism obtaining in many countries concerning, the pros poets of making definite agreements with communistc Russia on such vii tai matters as credits, the agreement relative to property held by for eigners, and the payment of the Rus sian debts.
 Nevertheless determination was evident among the delegates gathered here for the preliminary meetings to make every conceivable effort to reach the results which the Genoa conference did not succeed in achiev- ing.
 Session Opens Today.
 The representative of the principal countries, excepting Russia, were scheduled to assemble in the peace palace at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and there begin the labors of study ing the program which will be pre- sented to the Russian delegation at the joint meetings to open on June 26,
 Although Holland disclaims any in tention or desire of directing the conference Foreign Minister Van Karnebeek will deliver the opening address as temporary president, wei coming the delegates to the Nether- lands and voicing Hollands sincerest wishes for the success of the confer ence.
 Seeking Harmony.
 Chief interest centers on the har- monization of the attitude of Eng land, France and Italy on how to ap- proach the Soviet delegation officially for France shows disposition to ad here tenaciously to her Genoa demand for suitable guarantees from the bol sheviki before undertaking to renew official citations with Russia.
 FrAno> objects to the Soviet mem orarG,'n {. 1ubmitted to the Genoa conference on May II, which attack ed the captalistic systems of the oth- countries, and charged these nations with doing many things-confiscating property, for example-equally dras- tic with the bolsheviki measures to which they objected. The French would like to see this memorandum withdrawn by the soviets before off cial pourparlers with the Russian delegates are again inaugurated
 Great Britain and Italy apparently are ready to pursue a more concilia- tory policy.

from the other college teams. 1t is
safe to say. however that every team

Few people are cognizant OF the
fact that the first agricultural or
trade school in the United States was
located in this city and functioned
under the name of the Gardiner Ly-
ceum. yet such Is the case. On De-
cember last DR.. Neil Z. Stevens Of
the L. S. Department of Agriculture,
wrote an article which appeared in
the Scientific Monthly, which was re-
printed in phamp.;let form for dis
tribution. in which he SAYS tha. the
Gardiner Lyceum was not cliy the
first agricultural school but also the
first institution to receive state sti-
pend for agricultural instruction.
Robert HalIowell Gardiner became
impressed with the fact that such
workers as surveyors and millEriShIs
were completely at loss when they
came against any problem outside of
their usual routine. and the same
was true with the farmers. Having
arranged for suitable building and
grounds, the above mentione! gen
tlefnan with SO others went to the
legislature, which, on January %.
1922 Zone hundred years ago last
january passed an act establishing
the Gardiner Lyceum.
The next step was the issuance of
an Address to the Public" of which
comics were sent to two ex-presl-
dents, Adams and Jefferson, both OF
whom replied to Mr.. Gardiner, CIV
ing the plan their approval.
In January Of the following year,
BENJAMIN Hale, a tutor at Bowdoln
College was appointed the first prin-
cipal and the same year an appro-
priation of $1,000 and the tax on 4
Gardiner Bank amounting to anoth-
err thousnd was secured from the
LEGISLATURE The catalogue of 49,
showed that there were twenty stu
dents, the following year 53 and in
1928 a committee of the Maine Legis-
lature reported that since the insti-
tuition started 191 students had re-
ceived instruction there.
In 1923 state aid for the institution
was stopped and Mr.. Gardiner rec
commended that the institution be
closed. but the feeling of the cltl-
zens was so strong for its continu-
ance" that an attempt was made to
carry on the work. The nature of the
institution became similar to that of
the academies of the state and in

Maine Grown Cranberries

That Cape Cod has nothing on
Maine when it comes to the growing
of high class cranberries. has been
forcibly illustrated this year by the
Industrial Company of Gardiner,
corporation in which F. Danforth
and George w. Heselton of this city
are the principal owners. Few peo-
pie know that in the town of Chelsea,
Just cast of the National Home lies
cranberry bog from which has just
been harvested about 115 barrels of
large, lucious cranberries, which are
marketed in this vicinity and not sent
to the large city markets, so that
as far as crank erries are concerned
we may have the cream. Maine
Cherry Cranberries," is the name
given the product.
The bog is some twenty-five acres
in extent and only about ten acres
berries are grown and harvested in
the most scientific manner, modern
up to- date methods being in force.
The Gardiner Industrial Company
has owned the bog about seven years
and no effort has been spared in pro-
ducing results. This years crop is
not only bumper one but the grade
and size of the berries is also high.
The bog is laid out in tcds, with
bitches and gates for 1owage and
drainage The water is taken from
an artificial pond which is higher
than the bog. Just before the crop
is ready for the pickers there is like
lihood of frosts and when this occurs
the only way to save the crop IS to
flow the hog. Gravel is necessary
in order to secure a good crop. This
answers the double purpose OF keep
ing the growth of the grass in check
and also to retain the heat of the day
until far into the night. The gravel
is hauled and spread in winter and
the supply at this bog is convenient
and inexhaustible. The pond Is per-
haps So feet higher than the bog so
that pumping is unnecessary, gravity
doing \he work. Picking this season
has conSumed about two weeks. an
average of six men being employed.
The work is done with mechanical
pickers and after the knack of handl-
ing them is learned. a picker can,
with good chance, harvest a number
of barrels a day. After the berries
are harvested they are hauled to the
cranberry house. where they are
placed in ventilated storage crates
and held until they are properly col
ored. after which they are winnowed.

AMERICAS FIRST ACRICULT URAL:
Il. SCHOOL LOCATED AT GARDINER

1S4S the Gardiner Lyceum was re-
organized as an academy and in 1897
was sold to the city OF Gardiner and
occupied as a High School.
An old catalogue OF the Lyceum is
still extant. 1t is ds.sd October 1874,
and shows that Benjamin Hale A. NJ.
was principal. Ebenezer F. Deane A.
B., tutor in mathematics, and Ezie-
kiel Holmes, NJ. D., instructor in
Natural History. The IL tier was for
over thirty years editor of the Maine
Farmer. The roster of pupils showed

sets, and New Hampshire. The
studies were Surveying. Navigation.

Chemistry. Board aand washing was

week. Although the expenses were
low, about $50 per year provision
was made to assist students in dis
charging this obligation Students
were encouraged to cultivate small
portions of land for exercise, the ben
eft of their health and received the
profits of their labors.
Quoting from the catalogue we md
THE system of discipline, adopted by
the trustees, places large share OF

seen that student government had
probably as early a trial in Gardiner

was new in America is shown by the
! following quotation from the same
catalogue.
This system of discipline IS not
original with us. 1t has already been
| for several years in operation in
large school in England. and we are
happy in being able to state, that our
expectations in reference to it, do not
rest on speculations only but also
upon the very great success of the
experiment, as it has been tried IN
! that school.

cd States after Oct. II next will be
subject to the prohibition against the
bringing of Intoxicating liquors into
American territorial waters, it was an
nounccd tonight at the treasury de-
partmcnt.
Decision to defer In the case of
these craft the enforcement of Atty.
Gen. Daughertys ruling with respect
to the prohibition of the transporta-
tion of liquor cargocs or stores was
made by President Harding. The ex-
ccutive, in a letter to Secretary Mel
lon. said any earlier attempt at en-
forccment in the absence Of due no.
ticc and ample regulation would be
inconsistent with just dealing and have
tendency TO disrupt ncedlessly the
ways of commerce."
Masters of Shipping Board vessels
were ordered today by Chairman Las
kcr to remove and surrender to ire; s.
ury department officials all intoxicat-
ing liquors aboard such ships. The c.
der applies to government ships opcr-
atcd by the board and under charter to
private concerns.
Chairman Lasknr's order follows:
Under a ruling by Atty. Gen. Da l.
ghcrty, the sale. transportation or pos
session of liquor on ships entering
American territorial waters is proh.,-
tied by law. BY direction of the presi-
dent. / instruct you to make sure that
all intoxicating liquors in the posses
sion of ships operated by you for the
government and all liquors owned by
officers or members Of the crews there
of, be ermoved and surrendered to the
proper officials representing the treas
ury department Immediately. where
such ships are now in their home
