Washington, Dec. The Steps taken
by the Department Of Agriculture to
combat the cotton boil wecvil have
brought about a situation "moro fav-

Wallace informed Senator Harris, of
Georgia, in a letter made public to-
day by the Senator.
Mr.. Wallace declared his depart

cd developed in Florida and had
requested the cooperation of the
War Department in the further test
ing of the possibility of airplane
dusting.
"With these two major and high
ly promising developments of the
past year to thoroughly test out
the coming season." the Secretary
wrote, "the scientific forces Of the
department will be fully occupied
and those who have been studying
the problem feel very confident
that out Of these methods and the
new ones now in use will be found
satisfactory combination for prac-
tically all conditions. ..
The agriculture Secretary's letter
was in reply to one from Senator
Harris enclosing communication

The damage from the cotton boil

GERMANY MUST PAY
UNCLE SANS BILL
u. S. INSISTS UPON REIN
BURSEMENT FOR WATCH
ON THE RHINE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The con-
tcntions OF the allies that failure OF
the United States to ratify the peace
treaty OF Versailles leaves this country
without claim on German reparations
for cost of the American army OF oc-
cupation Of German Rhine cities will
meet with the arguments Secretary OF
State Hughes used successfully IN set
Ting the zap controversy and III set
ting forth the American view OF the
whole question of league OF nations
mandates.
Under no circumstances will the
United States permit the advantages
gained in the war against Germany to
be set aside by the plea that the
American government is not party
TO the European treaty, high officials
say. 1t has been the consistent policy
Of Secretary Hughes that those rights
have been specifically reserved in all
dealings, not only with Germany, but
with the allied nations as well.
May Take Seized Property.
Determination of the allied finance
ministers to refer the question OF the
American claim for $241,0 100000 for
the upkeep of the American troops on
the Rhine to May l, 1921, to their
respective governments for individual
negotiations with the United States
will not alter the attitude Of the state
department. The United States will
expect the same consideration OF its
claim that has been given similar
claims of the allied nations. II the
United States is compelled to deal di-
rectlv with Germany as has been
suggested by France, it probably will
dos o, officials say, but not until all
means Of eXacting recognition in con
nection with reparations are exhausted.
Suggestion that the allied debt fund
ing commission, recently created by
congress and soon to meet, might con-
slider the maintenance claim in case
the allies remain obdurate was made
at the treasury department, and the
view also was advanced that the seiz-
ed German property in the United
States might be used as club in ne
gotiations for payment il the question
ultimately was taken up with Ger
many.

Three Billion Dollars
In Gold in MINIS Of
The United States

When Raymond T. Baker retir-
ed as director OF the mint last
week he turned over to F. Z. SEQ
bev. his successor, approximately
one-third Of the worlds gold sup
ply.
The gold bullion and gold coin
held at the United States minis at
Philadelphia, Denver and San Fran
cisco and at the assay Office in New
York on March 1st, totaled more
than $3,000,000,000. The world S
supply amounts to about S9,OOO,-
100000.
The assets Of mint service insti-
tutions on March lst totaled So
676,000,000, consisting OF the fol-
cold bullion, $2,829,OOO,OOO; gold
coin. $260,000,000; silver bullion,
SAP, 100000; silver coin, 500, 600
600, paper currency S28O,OOO,OO0
and minor coin, $3,O00,00O
The coin demand upon the Unit
ed States minis was larger during
the calendar years 1917 to 1920, in
elusive, than during any period or
single year in the history of the
service. The output for the calen-
dar year 1910 was approximately
830,000,000 pieces as compared with
100000 pieces in 1915.

GEORGIA MINISTER
HAS QUEER DREAM
DREAMS OF DEATH OF MAN
HE LATER FUNERALIZES
IN ECHOLS COUNTY.

STATENVILLE. Ga. 1920 Standing
beside the open grave Of Hon. T. G.
Culbreth Wednesday Rev. a. l..
Greene, pastor OF the Methodist
church here, told a strange dream,
which had even more strangely come
true in connection with the death OF
Mr.. Culbreth
Mr.. Greene said that just about one
month ago he dreamed that Mr.. Cul-
breth died in exactly the manner in
which his death occurred on Monday
night. In his dream he was asked to
conduct the funeral services and he
remembered that he had done so, and
in his dream talk he made the same re-
marks that he actually did at the
graveside In fact the minister deClar-
ed that his dream of the death and
funeral and the services were all so
real he felt that he had twice con-
Quoted the services for the deceased.
Mr.. Greene declared that he never
did, and does not yet, believe in
dreams. but that as a matter OF fact
his dream of the death Of his friend
was so real and followed so closely
the actual details month later that
it had made an impression that could
never he erased from his memory.
Mr.. Culbreth returned to his home
Monday night, at Tarver, in Echols
county, remarking that he felt badly,
and went Immediately to bed. Later in
the night Mrs. Culbreth discovered
him already dead in bed Mr.. Green
declared that in his dream the death
occurred in just this manner. He could
not account for the strange coinci-
dence, for none of Mr.. Culbreth's clos
est friends had any idea that he was
affected by any chronic ailment and
even the deceased was unaware OF
this until less than a week before his
death. Being only So years Of age and
man OF apparently strong build and
constitution he was regarded by all
as being just in the prime of life.

The Loneliest Life Is
That of Australian
Boundary Riders
Men Who Watch Sheep in the Vast
Bush See Other Human Beings
But Once in a Month

|. LONDON, Eng.-The loneliest life
of all is the Australian boundary ri
der's, according to Will H. Ogilvie
writing in The Daily Mail"
Every large sheep station in Aus
tralia has upon its territory three or
four lonely huts in which live the sol
itary men who took after the sheep in
the remoter paddocks and ride round
the fences keeping them in repair.
These men have but slight inter
course with the outside world. Once a
month the boundary rider may lock
up his hut and ride to the nearest
township, spending a night or two, and
occasionally he rides in to the head
station on business connected with his
sheep; once in a while he may be call
ed from his regular work to assist in
la lamb marking camp or to join the
musterers at shearing time; but Tor
the most part he lives absolutely alone
with his dogs and his horses, except
for rare visits OF the station ration
carrier. the sheep overseer, or some
passing traveller taking a short cut
from one main road to another.
His close companions. both at his
daily work and in his long, lonely eve
Inings, are his sheep dogs, There is no
doubt that in many cases these animals
supply the reliable strand in the rope
which holds back such hermit OF the
bush from. the brink OF mental down
fall which the peculiar mode of life
brings near.
His hut consists of but single
room. 1t is built of weatherboard or
Of rough slabs, like untrimmed rail
way sleepers, set on end.
At one extremity of the hut is deep
fireplace and chimney of galvanized
iron. On the hearth an immense log
shoulders continuously.
Most of the cooking is done in a
camp oven, a round pot on three short
legs, which is set upon red-hot wood
cinders with a generous supply OF the
same heaped upon IFS lid In this are
cooked the mutton the bread and the
brownie" a simple, appetizing cake.
AT one side of the small room is the
bed, which is simply a rough bunk
covered with old bagging or sheep
skins and a four-inch layer of gun
leaves or pine tassels-a fragrant as
well as soft mattress.
On the other side OF the room is a
small table consisting OF fiat sheet of
bark on four supports. On shelf on
the wall above it stands few tins
containing, respectively, salt, sugar,
nails, tobacco, golden syrup, baking
powder and strychnine for poisoning
dingoes wild dogs.
Occasionally the owner makes a
mistake regarding the two latter tins,
and then a vacancy occurs for
boundary rider.
