Work Accomplished
By Miss snith

Summing up the work done in June,
July and August by your county home
demonstration agent, we find that she
has stressed conservation Of food to
a great extent. Miss Smith has had
200 calls for her assistance, and Wis
tied 40 farm women to give them help.
has not failed to meet her regular
club meetings in which she has given
32 demonstrations. In this way she
reached $50 people in Union county.
A short course lasting three days
was held in the court house in Union
on July q to 20. Miss Mahala Smith
is surely gifted in ability to meet
emergencies. This is the second time
her place for short course had to
be changed suddenly. Last year il
was the school house instead of camp,
this year the court house instead Of
school. This did not seem to inter-
fere with its success, however, as rs
girls and boys were present. The
specialists from winthrop College
were present to give the course in in
struction. The recreationsl features
brought joy and gladness to the girls
and boys.
Five communities are planning ex-
hibits to be put on at the Boganville
Township Fair.
Your cooperation will be appreci.
ated in advancing the work IN Union
county.

TWO NATIONS
FAIL TO AGREE

Paris, Aug. 20 (By the Associated
Press) THE reparations commission
met again this afternoon In an ef-
fort to reach unanimous agreement
regarding the German request for a
moratorium on her indemnity pay
ments. At the end of several hours
Of discussion the British and French
viewpoints were still widely at vari-
ance, with the Italians and Belgians
merely trying to find some proposal
which would meet the ideals of
France and Great Britain.
Two projected solutions were seri.
ously discussed. One Of them was
known as the Belgian plan and tho
other was an ampltfcation of last
minute suggestion offered by Ger
many just before Sir John Bradbury
and Eugene Macluer, British and
French members Of the commission,
left Berlin for Paris last week. The
Belgian plan has been unofficially Of
fered by the Belgian delegation as a
means Of preventing break between
England and France on the repara-
tons issue. Under its terms Belgium
would accept long term notes in place
of the remaining cash payments due
this year, amounting to 10000, 900
gold marks. As a guarantee Of ulti-
mate payment Of these installments,
Germany would deposit 10000, 900
gold marks from the reserve of the
Reichsbank in the Bank Of England.
France has not definitely declared
herself on this proposal, and M. LIE
La Croix, Belgian member of the
commission, and M. Dudboise, presi-
dent, are conferring in the hope that
it might prove satisfactory. England
and Italy already have approved the
proposition.
The German plan, which probably
will be the subject Of conversations
between the commission and German
officials on Wednesday, would meet
Premier Poincare's demand for allied
control Of German state mines and
forests by a guarantee to France of
the products Of these resources dur
ing the period Of the moratorium
Failure to promptly deliver the
stipulated timber and coal would re-
suit in. the seizure Of certain mines
which would be designated in the
agreement. British approval is be-
hind this arrangement, which is re.
Rarded as giving France the produc-
tive guarantees she; seeks swithop.
actuaiiy tnrnmg over political control
Of the mines and forests.
The British continue to emphasize
their belief that Germany is doing
everything she can to meet the
French point Of view and would ne
willing to give the productive guaran-.
tees which M. Poincare demands in
return for moratorium if such guar
Gntees are Of a strictly business char
acter, and not political.
The French official position con-
tinues to be that full control of the
German mines and forests must be
handed over to the allies in return for
a moratorium. However, there is con-
siderably less talk of threatened iso-
lation action and more of the desire
Of France to reach unanimous de-
cision in the commission through a
compromise.
