HEAR EDGAR s. KINDLEY AT
AUDITORIUM TOMORROW NIGHT

The opportunity to hear Edgar S.
Kindley tomorrow night at High
school auditorium tomorrow night,
should not be overlooked by any one
who desires good entertainment, or
who enjoys the privilege Of hearing
a real humorist and brilliant lecturer.
Mr.. Kindley comes to Athena In the
third number Of the winters Lyeeum
course, the most highly recommend
ed of all lecturers. and other towns
and cities having the course consider
it rare treat to hear him.
The Cadmean program has more
than made good in Athena. 1t has
been all that was claimed for it, and
it has gone further than any pro-
gram heretofore offered in lyceum to
the Athena public. r
The course merits better patronage
than it is receiving. and unless the
attendance tomorrow night, and for
the other remaining number material
" increases, the usual @dig-up' at the
end Of the course will have to be
made.

Most Of the so-called Panama hats
are made In Ecuador. The material
Is called paja tOqullla and comes from
a palm two or three meters high. The
leaves are cut just as they are about
to unfold, the veins taken ont and the
fiber remaining Is dipped for few
minutes In boiling water to which a
little lemon juice Is added for bleach
ing purposes, Each leaf has approxi-
mately 30 strands about 55 centime-
ters In length, although the best grade
reaches so centlmeters. The hats can
be woven only during the part of the
day when the humidity is greatest,
since the straw of the best quality is
not dampened, A. man working six
hours a day completes an ordinary hat
In six or seven days, but on very
fine one he spends month and half;
II Is the labor, therefore, which makes
the hats expensive. The most famous
are those Of Monte CrIstl; they sur
pass oil others in flneness. llghtness
and perfection.

Witch Hazel and Witches.

The witching power of the witch

The hazel was bewitched. hence Its
name. Witches have always made

use IT. or whether witches use It be.

BELIEVE THEY H0ODWlNK GOD
Chinese Seemingly Have Little Re,
spect for the intellectually
OF Their Deities.

One of the strangest things about
the religion of the Chinese Is the rev.
erence they hold for their gods, de.
spite the belief that the gods are gulf
llble as man of inferior inteliech
Instead of attributing infallibillty t9
the deities they worship, as all other
races have done, the Chinese resort to
tricks Of childish simplicity and are
sure they have deceived the god.
Usually the tricks employed are to
make sure the god does not betray
the sins of q Chinese to the higher
deities. An amazing example is the
treatment Of the kitchen god just
before he is to start on one of his
periodic visits to heaven. This trip
is limited, because the kitchen god
may be absent only seven days. Z
The householder thinks he must pre-
vent the god from reeiting his sins to
the deities. SO 1t Is the general Gus
tom, before the god is to depart on
the seven days absence. to prepare
large hollow balls of the gods fayorite
candy. The kitchen deity has a very
small throat. When the candy, Of
which he is extremely fond, is placed
before him, the Chinese say the god
stuffs his mouth with It, being too
gluttonous to leave any behind. His
small throat prevents swallowing the
confectlon, and thus when be appears
before the ruling deltles he Is unable
TO talk, and the householder's sins
remain a secret.

CABLE RIGHTS ON
YAP ALLOCATED

Washington, D. C.-The scope Of the
Washington negotiations over the ex-
German cable properties in the Pacific,
centering in the island of Yap, has
been broadened into a proposed six
power treaty definitely allocating Ger
man holdings between the United
States, Japan and the Netherlands.
A tentative draft Of the treaty was
considered att meeting of the heads
Of the American, Japanese, Neither
lands, British, French and Italian del
egations, and although final approval
awaited further word from foreign
capitals, the proposal found general
acceptance.
Under the ALLEGATION, which goes
much further than the separate Yap
treaty negotiated. between the United
States and Japan, the American gov
ernment Is to have full control of the
cable between Yap and the American
island of Guam.
Japan is to obtain the line known
as the Yap-Shanghai cable, now divert
ed to connect Yap with the Japanese
Loochoo islands, and The Netherlands
is to have the line from Yap to Men
ado, a city on the Dutch island Of
Celebes.

Jokes In Architecture. !

The builders Of the old churches In
England were not so serious but that
they now and then perpetrated i joke.
even in stone, On more than one OF
their creations they carved In relief
scene representing a monk preaching
solemnly to flock OF geese. The seme
humorous spirit Is sometimes TO bel
detected In the domestic architecture
Of early times Here Is an instance:
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
'fordshfre .and HertfordshIrs formerly
stood q rambling old farmhouse Tho
living room was long and low, and
on the center beam that went across
the ceiling was inscribed this legend
"If you are cold, 50 10 Hertfordshire.' 4
This seemingly snhospltable. ipsita-
tlon was explained BY the fact that
one-half of the room was In ona county
and oneshalf In the other. The fire.
place was IN HeFtfogdshire.

PRESIDENT ASKS
FARM CONFERENCE
Means For Relieving Depres-

pose Of Gathering.

Washington, D. C.--President Hard
ing, in letter to Secretary Wallace Of
the department Of agriculture, asked
that the latter call a, national confer
ence at Washington to suggest practi-
cal ways of Improvement, for the se-
we're agricultural depression which
exists throughout the land"
Prompt action was taken at the
department Of agriculture in response
to the request, telegraphic invitations
being dispatched Immediately to a.
number Of organizations and individ-.
uals whose attendance is desired at
the gathering.
The conference, 1t was indicated,
probably would meet here about jan
uary Is.
Farmers and representatives Of lines
interested in farmers products will
make up the personnel Of the confer
ence, which, 1t was said, would NUM-
Der between 100 and 100. Farmers
organizations, manufacturers OF farm.
ers' products, transportation interests.
marketing agencies, shipping interests,
fertilizer makers, farm implement
manufacturers, packers, state, agri-
cultural college representatives, cot
ton, grain. livestock, fruit commission
men, experts on rural social problems
and bankers are expected to attend.
''No one will pretend that present
conditions could have been avoided"

to the secretary. "but none Of us will

TEST OF LAND VALUES SEEN
IN COMING INDIAN SALES

Just what demand exists now for

ian.
Many think there will be partial
answer to this question by the act
ion Of the public at the sale Of In
dian lands BY the government on Jan
nary 1S. At that time a total of
1,2s9.e4 acres in 20 different tracts
has been advertised for sale and Che
reception accorded the offer Of sale

felt in wheat lands.
Some changes have made manifest
in the coming sale. Heretofore all

ALI Of the land offered has been APP
praised, and this appraised valuation
is listed in the advertisement Of the
land. No bid at a figure lower than
the appraised valuation will be con-
sidered. Of particular interest is the
fact that the appraisals have been
materially cut from the prices asked
during the postwar days. On an
average, the land listed for sale now
is about 60 per cent Of the prices of
appraisal at the sales Of 1920.
The highest price ever realized for
Indian lands on the Umatilla reser-
walton in government sales was $2e5
per acre, The highest appraisal on
the land now offered for sale is $13o
per acre, or just one-half Of the best
price ever paid.

NAVAL LIMITATIONS
TASK NEARS FINISH
Tonnage Of Airplane Carriers
Fixed and Declaration on
Divers Expected.

Washington, D. C.-The arms con-
ference has virtually reached the end
Of its efforts to put curb on naval
armaments.
TO the capital ship settlement was
added an agreement for limitation OF
future tonnage in airplane carriers,
Some sort Of declaration with re.
gard to the use of submarines and an
agreement not to construct any auxil-
larry vessels hereafter with tonnage
Of more than 10000 are expected also
to be added to the accomplishments OF
the conference before the final curtain
is rung down. A five-power treaty en-
bodying all the points on which there
is agreement now Is in process Of
drafting.
There are growing indications that
the four-power treaty to.preserve peace
in the Pacific, which already has been
signed, viii be IN some way further
clarified before the conference quits.
The American delegation is under
stood to have withdrawn any objection
to the Japanese proposal that the
treaty's scope be defined as not in
cluding the major Japanese islands,
and the plan for an exchange Of clari-
flying notes or for amendment Of the
treaty text is expected to take definite
form within few days.
The Japanese request for clarifi-
cation of the treaty's terms is said to
have been based largely on the de-
velopment Of difference in view on
the subject between President Harding
and the American delegation. This
development has been topic Of such
widespread speculation in conference
circles that the president took occa-
sion to characterize as Silly publish
ed reports that Secretary Hughes was
considering resigning from the cabinet
as result Of differences arising be-
tween him and the White House dur.
ing the arms negotiations.
