ALL FEEL CHARM OF PARIS
Various Spots May Have Particular
Application, but There Is Variety
for Every Visitor.

The fairy tale Of Paris belongs to
all of us, in whatever terms it may
be told. For some it is Marie An
toinette and the Petit Trianon; and,
curiously. by comparison with Il rather
worthless queen, the great war pales.
For some it is Napoleon in his cooked
hat and white breeches, and his great
tomb, one of the tingertips of Paris.
For still more it is the Bots and the
elegance and luxury and beautiful
women; and for the rest there Is al
ways the particular applicaticn-the
house where BulZac had his printing
press, or perhaps only a great stone
wall, symbol Of the centuries over
which a fruit tree blooms, symbol Of
centuries continually renewed, writes
Muriel Harris in the North American
Review.
Only now and again do we realize
that Roman and Frank and Gaul;
Catholic and Huguenot; artist. priest
and warrior; saint. martyr, phlloso-
pher midinette have really our ener-
gies in their grip.

HORSE SUPPLANTING TRAC-
TOR ON NORTHWEST FARMS
Tractor Fuel, Wear and Tear Cost
More Than Horse.

Recently summarized data collected
by the farm management division on
& group of farms in Steele county
show that on ten farms where trac-
tors were owned the use decreased
% per cent in 1921 as compared with
1920. In 1920 these ten tractors aver
aged AS hours of use; in 1921 only
298. OF the 415 hours in 1920, 313
were spent at traction work and IS
hours Of belt work. OF the ten trac-
tors only two were used more in
1921 than in 1920. The use of the
others was cut from IS to 613 hours
per farm. In 1920 six tractors were
used 400 hours or more, in 1920, only
two. The use of horse labor, on the
oth,A' hand, increased on these farms
an average Of 610 hours per farm in
1921 over 1920.
The cause for this substitution of
horse labor for tractor labor, accord

NO DOUBT ABOUT GRATITUDE
Any Youngster Will Understand That
Poor Boy Was Deeply Appreci-
alive of Tommy's Gift.

For some time Mrs. Caraway had
been endeavoring to instill into the
heart Of her youngster, Tommy, aged
ten, the sentiment of generosity, which
it seemed to her, was not naturally
present. In this relation. she had been
especially careful to commend to
Tommy's consideration the son OF a
poor family in the neighborhood.
One day Tommy came home radiant.
SWELL" he said to his mother, II
gave that poor boy half of the box Of
candy you bought for me-"
The mother also beamed. You are
dear little boy" she said. "Was
the poor boy grateful?"
Eyes, ma'am," said Tommy; che
was grateful, all right. He came
round to the school yard and let me
lick him where everybody was looking

relative price of tractor fuel and
by the farmers was 20 cents; in 1921
it was "a cents. Kerosene cost 81
cents In 1920 and IA cents in 1921.
The average farm price of oats in
Minnesota in 1920, on the other hand,
was 20 cents bushel; in 1921 it
was % cents. Corn in 1920 was $1.20
per bushel; in 1921, Al cents. Hay in
1920 was $14.76 per ton, and in 1921,
$3.50. These farmers used an aver
age Of one gallon of gasoline to four
gallons of kerosene. This would make
the average cost of tractor fuel per
gallon 22.6 cents in 1920 and 16 cents
in 1921. Allowing a horse so bushels
Of oats, IS bushels of corn, and three
and one-half tones of hay annually,
the average cost of horse feed in 1920
was $12S.66, and in 1921, only $57.4O.
Thus tractor fuel had declined only
20 per cent in price, while horse feed
had declined SIS per cent, or nearly
twice as much.
"TractOr manufacturers and horse
breeders associations may urge the
relative merits of tractors and horses
as sources of farm power with all the
eloquence of which they are capable"
said Professor Pond, "but the farmer
who has both available keeps his eye
steadfastly on the relative prices Of
kerosene and oats and adjusts his
power supply accordingly. This is
just one Of the many examples that
might be cited of the readiness with
which the farmer reacts to changing
economic conditions"

the eyes of Billy, age ten. A group of
young boys was assembled in a park,
on one of the overnight camping trips
conducted every week by the Y. M. q.
A., relates the Indianapolis News. Be-
fore the campfire was put out for the
night the Y. secretary conducted de-
votions as usual, reading the passage
in Acts where Paul warned his COM
panions Of approaching danger and
later said: "Sirs, We should have
hearkened to me-" when the storm
burst on them.
"Shucks!" said Billy. 'Pauls just
like the rest Of us"
"What do you mean?" asked the
leader.

FRANCE TO BE in
Russia VIII Offer Billions in
Concessions at Hague.
| Commission Is to Make Report
on Russia After Farley.
fRy the Associated Pressl

Paris June 13.-France will be rep
resented at the conference at The
Hague on Russian affairs by a group
of experts, the cabinet decided today
The idea of having Charles Benoist,
the minister at The Hague, take part
in the preliminary conference, was
abandoned.
The Hague, June 13.-Soviet Rus
sian Representatives in the interna-
tional conference which will open
here on Thursday, will be prepared to
offer concessions for commercial eX-
quotations worth approximately a bill
lion dollars, provided conditions are
satisfactory to the Moscow govern
ment, it was learned today from a
source believed to be reliable.
These concessions deal with min
erals, railway construction, agricultur-
al development and tim Der.
The vanguard of the economic ex-
perts who will participate in the con-
ference on Russian reconstruction has
arrived here.
This will be more of business and
less of political meeting than the one
at Genoa. This explains why Premier
Lloyd George, George Tchitcherin, the
Russian commissar for foreign affairs
and other statesmen who were at
Genoa decided not to come to The
Hague.
The Russian delegates were not sur
priSed by the obStructlonlSt dlituue
adopted by France. They had been
warned at Genoa what to expect. They
feel the conciliatory policy of Great
Britain will offset to some extent the
hostility of France, altho they admit
that the anti-Russian bloc, composed
of France, Belgium and the United
states, will make a solution of the
Russian problem most difficult.
The conference program is for the
representative of the powers to ap-
point a mixed commission to take testl-
mony from a committee of Russian
experts, probably headed by Maxim
Litvinoff It is not yet certain
whether the two commissions will Wis
it Russia.
After about three months investi-
CATION the mixed commission will
make a report ernbodyfng recommen-
dations as to what can be done for
Russia, unless the conference breaks
down in the meantime.

FEAR FOR LENINE

London, June 10 The physical
condition of Nickolai Lenine, founder

ruler of Russia is hopeless, according
TO information secured this afternoon
from authoritative sources
LenIne is said TO be suffering from
influx OF blood into the brain which
caused loss Of speech. A stroke of
paralysis followed.
The real cause of Lenine's illness
il reported to have been poisonous in
lection altho il is not clear if poison
was administered in an attempt at as
.Sassination-
It is reliably reported that, prior to
the attack OF paralysis. Lenine became
the prey to Authorizations.
Stain, ore Of the inner cOunsellors
OF the Moscow soviet is believed to
be the most likely successor to Lenine
in the event of his death. Some fear
that If Leon TrOtzxy, commissioner of
war. is made president of the council
Of peoples commissars (the position
Lenine now holds) he will reinstate
military communism and become vir-
tually a military dictator of the coun-
try.
There is a disposition in responsible
Russian quarters TO believe that II
Lenine dies and some one other than
Trotzky succeeds him. it will lead to
a more liberal policy in Russia The
Russian situation is most serious and
the threatened death of Lenine has
brought about the most critical posi-
ton Of the soviet since its foundation.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch

VOLCANO NEAR A RAMPAGE.
Titanic Eruption of Kilauea Crater in
Hawaii Expected.

HiIo, Island of Hawaii, T. H, June
IA titanic eruption of Kilauea vol
cano, thirty-one miles from this city. is
predicted for some time in the very
near future by Prof. Thomas Jaggar
Jr., volcanologist in charge of Kilauea
volcano observatory, who bases his
prediction on the remarkable recent
activity of Kilauea and by the break
ing out of live lava at points between
the volcano and the sea fifteen miles
distant.
According to Professor Jaggar. the
manifestations of activity now are the
same as those which preceded the
great eruption of 1870, during which
lava burst from the mountainside far
below the main crater of kilauea and
flowed into the sea, wiping out several
settlements en- route. Earthquakes of
varying intensity are being felt every
few, minutes thruout the vicinity of
the volcano.
Hawaiian natives are fleeing IN
dread from the wrath of Pele, goddess
OF the volcano, who, they believe. has
been aroused to anger by recent at
tempts to make scientific behring's into
the crater floor at Kilauea

COULDN'T BREAK JIHX
City Commissioners Unable to
Settle Alley Grade on Thirteenth
of Month-NIatter VIII Go I'm
settled for While Longer.

1t could hardly have been other
wise.
When a city commission holds a
meeting on the thirteenth day of the
month, and the same city commission
has a regularly constituted, ancient
and honorable, efficient, hereditary,
, accepted and recognized jinx, it is not
to be expected that the jinx will not
raise it's head at that same meeting.
So it is no cause for wond Term ent
that the matter of esta blishing a
grade on the unpaved half block of
alley between Tenth avenue and
Eleventh street, parallehng Kansas
avenue and Quincy street, should rear
its CORY locks in the commission meet
ing this morning.
A profile of the proposed grade was
submitted to the city commission this
morning by Commissioner of Streets
and Public Improvements w. S. Han
cock. The commission approved the
profile and authorized the city attor-
ney, Ralph T. O'NeiI, to take such
steps as are necessary to establish the
grade on the profile.
Whereupon O'Neirs countenance
was downcast and his demeanor be-
came woebegone. In one short word
of four letters he supplied a smile
for the mess in which the alley propo-
sition now rests and promised to do
his best.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
no good could come of taking action
on the proposition on June 13, but that
probably things couldn't get any worse
tangled than they have been for two
or three years.
