WASHINGTON, March 16:-
Washington will again draw the in
ternational spotlight, early in April,
with a series of conferences with
European nations OF what they are
going to do about their debt to Uncle
Sam.
These conferences will be attend
ed by representatives of both major
and minor nationS-from Great
Britain, France and Italy to Estho-
mia, Finland and Lithuania.
The indebtedness of the various
countries to the United States repre-
sents, in the aggregate, more than
500 for each man, woman and child
in this country, the total including
overdue interest being $11,3SS,194,-
900.
Although the senate has held up
temporarily, on a question of con-
stitutionality, the confirmation of
two members of congress-Senator
Smoot and Representative Burton
as members of the foreign debt re-
funding commission. arrangements
already are under way for taking up
the adjustment of these loans Off
cially at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The three members of the COM
| mission already confirmed are Sec
| rotary of Treasury Mellon. Secre-
| tary of State Hughes and Secretary
of Commerce Hoover. Whoever may
finally be confirmed in the two re-
| naming places, these three will be
| the guiding spirits of the American
commission.
The British dent will be the first
| to be taken up. Besides being the
largest. it is the only m that offers
any considerable hope for early cash.
The British debt to the United
States, on money and credit ad-
vanced during the war. is $4,1G6,-
~31S,35S.44. In addition, there is an
item of s509,173,937 overdue inter-
est.
Advances to Great Britain, like
those to other countries, were made
at various rates of interest.
To clarity the whole transaction,
it is now proposed the total debt be
refunded by Great Britain issuing
bonds with a uniform interest rate
and more advantageously spaced ma
turity periods.
Such bonds, taken by this govern
ment as security for the loan, would
not necessarily have to be held till
maturity for Uncle Sam to get his
money back. They would be nego-
table, and as market conditions JUS
tilted, could be sold to private in
vestors just as u w government

GREAT WRITER'S WHO COPIED
Both Shakespeare and MoIiere Were
Free in Their adaptations"
From Other Authors.

No authors have ultimately At
tained to a truer originality than
Shakespeare and Moliere, an original
ity both Of form and Of content. Shake
speare was able to give us at last the
final model Of modern tragedy, and
Moliere succeeded In perfecting the
final model Of modern comedy.
Moliere's earliest pieces are so
closely in accord with the tradition of
the italian comedy Of masks that the
"Etourdi," for example, might be
held up for study as the finest speci-
men Of the species. The Italians sup
piled him with a ready-made mold
Into which he could pour whatever he
had of his own.
Shakespeare started out also as q
humble imitator, not Of an exotic
form. such as tempted Monere, but
OF several specific predecessors in his
own language. He was obviously un-
original in his early pieces, even in
Loves Labor Lost" almost the only
play Of his the actual source Of which
has not yet been discovered. In
Loves Labor Lost" he was imitat-
ing Lyle; in Titus Andronicus" he
was initiating Kyd; in Richard III"
he was initiating Marlowe.-Pitts.

E. j. Thompson, animal husbandry-
man of the North Dakota Agricul-

State Fair July 1922.
Showing livestock gives the owner
Of the stock show an excellent op-
portunity to compare his stock with
that of other owners. He sorts or
checks up on himself and finds out
where he stands in the game as he
could not do any other way" said
Mr.. Thompson. :"The prize money
offered will often pay the exhibitor
for his, expense of showing. Exhibit

CAT ATTACKS s.
YEAR-OLD CHILD

Wildose Mixer: One of the
queerest things Of the decade hap
pened. Tuesday, July II, when large
tomcat attacked the 5-year-old son of
Carl Blom, 9 miles northest of Bat
tleview, N. D.,
The cat was more or less of q
tramp, having been coming and going
in that negihborhood for some
months. In this instance and without
apparent reason the feline leaped at
the boy, scratching and biting his
legs, arms and body; the cat con-
tinued his attack for some time and
got the boy down, and had it not been
that Mr.. Blom was at hand no
doubt the lad would have lost his eyes
and possibly his life. Mr.. Blom tried
to pull the cat off and finally had
to step on the animals neck to los
sen his hold.
Home remedies were applied to the
boys wounds, but the next day the
injuries were swelling and the lad
had a high fever, so he was brought
to Wildrose, where DR.. Wicklund
treated the injuries and gave the boy
an injection of serum which count
eracted the cat poison. The next
morning the fever had gone down and
the lad was taken back home.

Is Fighting Rust By

Moorehead, Mimi, July.-Declar-
ing that the present wet weather is
favorable to the development of
rust, Louis Alterbrand, farmer of
Sabin, near here, is experimenting in
getting the moisture off his wheat.
He is using two 3-8 inch cables, one
120 rods long and the other 80 rods.
On the long cable he has a team at
each end and one in the middle, on
the short one but two teams. The
cable is dragged over the fields to
knock off heavy dew and rain.

Alterbrand says, "but it seems ef-
fective in knocking the moisture off
the wheat. If it should result in hold

to the grain, it will pay"

her to tell you herself how grateful,

good man chuckled to himself O. he
left the room.
Two hours later Harris tooks his de-
parture. Ethel called her father to
her.
Daddy, think hes splendid. How
did you find who he was7"
''Wsll, 1t was a curious coincidence.
Old man Morton, Of the big arm Of
lawyers, wrote In to ask how you
were-he's an old friend Of mine, you
know-and said that this young man,
who was new member Of the firm,
and very clever one, had been there
and picked you up: It seems that
after you left he went to his Office
to ind out who was, and told 1.-THE
whole story to Morton, swearing him
to secrecy. But Morton thought that
he was foolish not to let us thank
him, 30 he spilled the beans, and I got
hold Of young Mr.. Harris for lunch
and made him promise to come up

thought thought I'd like to keep it
for a souvenir Of the occasion"
"Oh! Well-1 seel" And Mr.. Dor
rance left the room laughing heartily,
to the great indignation Of his daugh-
ter. -
But several months later, when the
engagement Of Ethel Dorrance to the
rising young lawyer, John Harris, was
announced. and the newspapers hint
ed at the romantic beginning Of their
courtship, Ethel made confession to
her father. .
"Daddy dear, he did ask for his
handkerchief. and I told him that I
wanted to keep 1t to remember him by.
And daddy, now I can keep it always
and I'm SO happy!"
And her father, remembering how
that scrap Of linen had stood between
his daughter and death, agreed that
1t was quite proper that it should re-
main in the family.

How Game Of Bridge Got It's Name.
The modern game Of auction bridge
is descendant of old Russian whist,
and came to its name in pc
culiar way about 40 years ago. At
that time there lived at Great Daily,
Leicestershire, England, two families
devoted to the game. They paid each
other visits on alternate nights. Their
way lay across an old rickety bridge,
dangerous to travel after nightfall.
So often did one neighbor say to the
other In parting: Thank goodness
it is your bridge tomorrow night" that
In time they referred to their
game only as bridge" And thus the
new name became popular in the coun-
tryside, and was later accepted
throughout England, and soon followed
to America.
