FRANCE REJECTS
 NE W PROPOSALS
Eleventh Hour Guarantees Offered by Germans Are
 Refused by Poincare

PARIS, Aug. 26.-(By the Associat- ed Press)-Premier Poincare has re- jected the eleventh hour guarantees offered by the German government and independent measures by France against Germany seemed assured to- night after failure of the reparations mission to obtain in Berlin the basis of compromise acceptable to France
 In well-informed French circles it is considered reasonably certain that the reparations commission will grant a moratorium for the rest of the year, with the final German proposals as an additional guarantee.
 The German proposals. handed to the separations commission just be- fore it left for Paris, provided for a contract between the German govern ment and the biggest German indus trialists, in cluding Hugo Stinnes, for delivery during the period of mor- atorium of products of the Ruhr mines and wood from the state forests
 German industry would guarantee faithful delivery, and penalties would be enforced against the .industrialists in the event the schedule was not lived up to.
 Details of the scheme were to be submitted by Germany next week, but the French premier rejected the plan this afternoon after conference with M. Dubois and M. Mauclere. The pre- mier's opposition is said to be due to the fact that he believes the scheme made industrialists more important than the government. and since the business party in Germany is in a po- sition to dictate to the government, refusal to carry out the contract would leave the German government powerless to act and France would be as bad off as before.

OKLAHOMA HAS
 WAIVED CLAIM
Three-Cornered Fight For Man Wanted on Forgery
 Charge Is Settled

PHOENIX, AriZ., Aug. 26. The three-cornered fight between officials of Arizona, Oklahoma and Nebraska for the custody of Ava E. Smith, wanted in Nebraska on a charge of forgery and in the other two states on charges involving the wrecking of banks, came to an abrupt close today when Oklahoma agreed to withdraw her claim to Smith in favor of Arizo- na. Word to this effect was receiv- ed by Governor Thomas E. Campbell in telegram from John Knox, state bank examiner from Oklahoma. The telegram was sent from Sacramento and read as follows:
 oklahoma valves as to Smith. Ari- zona can have him. We have not filed papers with the governor here"
 Since receiving this word. Doane K. Merrill, state superintendent of banks has been in communication with Los Angeles, where Smith is held in the county jail in an effort to get Smith to waive extradition to Arizona.
 Nebraska afficers have made no move in the contest to obtain custody of Smith other than to wire the sher- if at San Diego to hold him for them.
 Smith is wanted in Arizona on a charge of embedding $40,000 from the Parker Valley Bank at Parker, Ar zona of which he was vice president. Since the alleged embezzlement wa discovered early in August the bank has been closed.

Henry Bewails Fact That Coal Situation F orces Shutdown
 During Boom Season

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 26-Industry, the country over, must throw up his hands in surrender. within a few weeks, if the rail and coal strikes con tinue, Henry Ford declared today in announcing the decision of the Ford Motor company to close its plants here and in many other cities Septem- Der 16 because of the fuel situation
 MT. Ford held financial interests re- sponsible for the industrial tie up, declaring the money barons" were manipulating the labor unions and that public officials, state and national, were impotent in the crisis.
 The strikes would end he contin- ued, when the majority of the people are cold and hungry enough to resort to drastic action"
 Continuance of these disturbances simply to the greed and avarice of Wall Street, MT. Ford asserted, add ing that these interests dominated the railroads. coal mines and public utilities of the country"
 The deadlock in strike negotiations indicated, he declared, the existence of "a plot to unload the demoralized and rundown railroads on the govern ment at their own price and mulct the people through excessive coal prices"
 One hundred and five thousand em- ployes of the Ford company through out the country will be without jobs after September Is. In addition, sev- eral hundred thousand other workers employed in industries furnishing ma terials for the Ford plants will be af fected
 MT. Ford declared he" had not the remotest idea" when the plant could be re-opened. It was announced that the normay daily consumption of coal in the Ford industries was $500 tons and although declining to state the amount on hand at this time, officials said it would be impossible to do more than keep the furnaces and ovens warm."
 A comparatively small number of the employees of the Ford plants will be retained in service during the shut down, it was announced. Forces suf ficient to keep the furnaces warm will be held, however.
 MT. Ford's statement follows:
 ''The coal situation has become i'm possible. For the last several weeks we have seen situation approaching that we feared would force us to close. We regret having to take that step.

 Last night we wired 900 houses that supply us with material to stop and this morning letters and telegrams were sent out to about 1000 more.
 We appreciate the great loss it will mean to these hundreds of sup ply houses, but it also will mean a tremendous loss to us. At present we are producing 5.2O0 cars day and we sell $500 a day. We have to close down at time when we are doing a greater business than ever before in our history"

FARMERS OF MORROW
COUNTY SAVE 70 PER
CENT ON SEED WHEAT
Copper Carbonate Used to
Treat $4,000 Acres of
Crop Seeded This Fall.

In these days of low prices of
farm products, economical produc-
tion is Il matter of first Importance.
| Factors which reduce production
costs are being eagerly sought by
farmers A ID or 20 per cent saw
ing in any farm operation is n sus-
| Stantial one. A 20 per cent saving
! in seed cost is being effected by
| owners of %, 900 acres Of wheat land
in Morrow county. They are sowing
20 per cent less wheat and getting
as good or better stands than their
neighbors, according to T.. l.. Raj
lard assistant county agent leader.
The reason for this is treatment OF
seed with copper carbonate instead of
copper sulphate or formaldehyde So
lutions as in past years. These So
lutions used wherever wheat is so
sown in the western country FOR
smut control always kill an appreci-
able percentage Of the seed. Copper
carbonate applied as Il dust does not
kill any of the termination powers
of the seed wheat and therefore 20
per cent less, on conservative basis,
! should be sown, according to G. II.
Hyslop, Of the Farm Crop Depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege.
| While treating seed wheat with
copper carbonate is new this year in
Oregon, 1t has been practiced sue
cessfuly many years in Australia.
Last fall county agents in Eastern
| Oregon counties persuaded a few
wheat growers to try the new meth
cd and the results everywhere have
been successful. In some cases the
new treatment is more directive in
! actual smut control than are the old
methods. In other instances 1t is
somewhat less effective and on the
average has about the same effect
ivencss. This conclusion Is reached
after extensive experimental trials
! in Oregon, Washington and Califor-
mia, supplemented by extensive field
demonstrations in these states.
The new treating method was
grasped most eagerly by wheat farm
Grs in Morrow county and the stands
secured this fall on the $4,000 acres
| 1f winter wheat ssown with tho re-
/ duced seeding looked particularly
good for this season.
Twelve farmers there tried out the
new method last spring. Figuring
copper carbonate stands as one hum
drcd per cent, the stands secured
from treating with the solutions
stood at scventy-four per cent. There
WAS about one per cent advantage in
smut control in favor of the old
methods. L. Redding, of Eight Mile.
had less than half stand because Of
injury to seed by treating with the
old time solutions. J. o. Turner, of
fHeppnor had "A two-thirds stand and

.PAGANS STARTED MOST

Many of the most important SYM
bols and practices of Christmas OBJ

or when or how Nobody knows IL
Dec. 25 Is the right annoversary OF
Christ's birth.
Celebration of birthdays was con-
sidered heathenish by early Chris
tians. and 1t was not until after 34i
A. D. that an investigation was mado
into the date Of Christ's birth by or
DER of Pope Julius. This set the date
at December 25. although many sec
tions celebrated January s, April 20,
March % and slay 20.
Pope Julius set the date as Dec.
%. and established the festival az
/ Rome on that date. This Is the date
I Of the winter solstice. when winter
/ begins to decline toward spring, which
| for centuries before Christ. had been
celebrated by Durids and other pagans
as the chief festival OF the year.
Mistlctoc was an object of special
veneration with the Druids. and was
gathered with great ceremony in De-
\ cember. II survived in Christmas oh
