PARIS. July II (By The Associated
Press).-The Reparation Commission
decided to-day 70 relieve the German
financial crisis 70 the extent Of reduc-
ing the monthly installment Of 5c,0Oo,-
900 gold marks due next Saturday on
the schedule Of payments TO s2,ooO,0oo
gold marks Germany had announced
her willingness 20 pay the whole
amount, but the commission ruled that
in view Of the crisis the smaller figure
was all that would be required.
Credit 70 the amount OF lS,000,000
gold marks was given Germany on her
reparations account for deliveries Of
dyestuffs made during the last few
months to the Textile Alliance Of
America for all the Allies and also FOR
deliveries OF coal which had been made
20 Luxemburg az the request Of the
Allied governments. These credits have
/ been due Germany for some time, and
I the officials thought that this time was
opportune 70 allow them, in view of
| the German difficulties.
All-Day Session Held
The members Of the Reparation Com
on spent all day discussing the
, W.. man crisis. Dr. Fischer and Herr
/ Schroeder. the German delegates, con-
/ ferred with the members this morning
and had another talk with VI. Dubois
president Of tho commission, IN the
I course Of which the German repre-
sentatives reiterated their country's in
ability 20 meet cash payments after
July.
An important meeting was held this
evening az the Quai D'Orsay, Premier
Poincare conferring with VI. De Lastey-
RE. Minister Of Finance; VI. Rebel
Dubois, chairman of the Repara on
Commission. The meeting preceded
Germany's official note for q mora
torium, which was expected tomorrow
requesting suspension Of payments re-
naming in 1922 and all cash payments
IN 1923.
These proposals already have been
discussed by the ReparGtion Commis-
sion unoficially. A majority seemed 10
favor the granting Of a moratorium.
Roland ". boyden, American OBJ
server, Is keeping in closest touch with
the developments so as TO be able 20
advise Washington, but as yet has not
changed his plans for sailing Saturday
for New York on the steamship France.
It was said this evening IN certain
reparation circles that there was a
disposition 20 take no action on the
German request for a moratorium, but
rather await possible political develop
ments in Germany. Those who take
this view say that the fall Of the pres
ent German government would make
any decision reached now OF little or

are realizing that Secretary Hughes
meant what he said when he declined
their invitation 20 go 20 Genoa, and
plainly told them that they must "clean

LONDON, July i2 (By Tho Asso-

therefore, America was no longer In

would be diminished, roughly, by l,lOO,-

Times" Wants u. s. Debt Paid
The writer further contends that the
first step 70 this solution should be
the prompt funding Of the British debt
20 America. lie declares that England
never expected repayment Of tho
French and Italian debts and that re-
eovery OF the Russian war debt was
out of tho question. lie expresses the
belief that IL would be more acceptable
90 France and Italy 90 pay their debts
than % have them cancelled. but that
it would do more harm than good 20
issue special French and Italian bonds
to provide the payment money, and
that by the plan suggested the whole
question might be solved without Of

The hrst article in "The Times
says that the latest collapse OF the

tom 10 the other symptom long notice

The article deals 90 length with "the
suggestion that Great Britain cancel

The United States tho part they ought

the world" and with tho "fallacious
notion that. inasmuch as America is

The writer declares that the sooner
such notions are abandoned the better,
and In q long argument leads 20 the
that Great Britain must pay

also higher priced on account of very

This is a good time to decide if you
want to get any seed and let your
wants be known so that seed can be
shipped in before the price advances.
The two grade cow safes held last
week were very successful. The
Guernseys averaged somewhat high
er than the Holsteins for the reason
that there were more cows ready to
freshen within a month of the sale,
and more of them had butter fat re-
cords. The average of the Guernsey
cows was $1,000. The Holsteins,
$1,000. Heifers over 2 years of the
Guernsey breed averaged $44.O0 Hol-
stems, $500. Guernsey bulls aver
aged $1,000 and Rolsteins averaged
$61.00. Ten head of Guernseys and
6 head of Holsteins We're purchased
by farmers from Webster, S. D. The
rest were sold in this county and
neighboring counties. The S. D., buy
ers picked up enough animals to fill
cars at private sale. They went back
with 2 carloads of grade Guernsey

their purchases and said that they
would return next fall to our grade
sales providing we would have cows

SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY

An inspiring audience greeted the
speakers at the Sunday School Rally
held in the Maiden Rock M. E. church
Sunday afternoon, Oct. %. Not only
was the seating capacity of the house
taxed to its limit, but the standing
room was taken. Among the schools
represented were: Maiden Rock nj. E.,
Lund Swedish Mission, Diamond Bluff
M. E., Spring Valley Congregational,
Rock Elm NJ E., Ono nj. E., Plum City
M. E., River Falls Baptist, River Falls
English Lutheran and River Falls
Congregational. The Maiden Rock
school deserves much credit for the
perfect manner in which they cared
for all details necessary to the sue
cess Of the meeting, ard they are to
be commended for the very large re-
presentation of home folks. Special
mention should be accorded to the
Lund Swedish Mission school for their
large delegation, which was by far
the largest visiting delegation; fer
their helpful participation in the pro-
gram, and for their generous contrl-
button to the county Sunday School
work.
The topic of Older Boys and Girls
conferences had prominent place on
the program. It is hoped that some
of the young people of this county, be-
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty
four, together with their teachers, pas
tors or leaders, may attend the state
conference at Racine, Nov. 10, IL, and
~. Those desiring further informa-
ton, may secure it by writing to Rev.
C. E. Brenneman, Prescott, Young
Peoples Divisional Superintendent.
Some young men may find it more
convenient to attend the Y. M. c. A.
conference at La Crosse during the
Thanksgiving recess. Prof. j. P. ia
cobson, River Falls, will gladly give
any desired information concerning
this conference.

County Agent Notes
(Bv H. G. Seyforth)

The River Falls Normal School will
hold its annual Grain and Poultry
Show Nov. to II. There were a
large number of grain and corn exhi-
bits at the Pierce county Fair this
fall which should be sent to the Show
at River Falls in November If you
receive any prizes there it would be
well to go on to the State Grain Show
which will be held later on in winter.
Let's see Pierce county well repre-
sented at the River Falls Show with
both grain and birds.
Wisconsin farmers are growing 12,-
900 acres of cold-resistant corn this
season. This corn was developed by
the Wisconsin experiment station and
Prof. R. A. Moore, agronomist, who
has returned from an inspection trip,
says of it: "This is great year for
the new cold-resistant corn. The new
strains have made fine growth and
is in many cases taller than the ma
tive varieties. The cold season is
proving the worth of cold-resistant
seed. A June frost failed to affect
the new corn. A few leaves slough
ed off, and then the growth continued
normal. There should be a great de-
mand for seed this fall, and there
should be a great quantity of seed
for distribution" We have some
farmers in this county raising the
above variety of corn and if you wish
to get any seed it would be we'll to
speak in advance for the same and |
can make arrangements to get some.
1t is we'll to start pruning the or
chard before the snow comes. | eX-
pect to hold a few apple tree pruning
demonstrations this fall. Only few.
places have been selected SO far. Il
