Nothing can be done in Henderson
county better for general progress
than the organization Of community
clubs, of which twelve have already
been organized, namely: Ollie's Grove,
Unity, Poplar Springs, Bargeiton,
Long Sought, Wildersville, Rock Hill,
Chesterfield, Darden Shady Hill, Sar-
dis and Piney, with several other
communities considering organiza-
ton. This movement is simply for
general community improvement and
help in pushing them and keeping
them going after organization is one
Of the most effective pieces Of service
a citizen can give his people. The
man who will oppose community or
ganization may be honest in his non.
progressiveness-but he needs pricing
out Of a very deep rut. These COM
munity clubs work for improvement
in home life, schools, farming, live
stock, roads-amusements and recre-
ation-in fact, all the needs Of the
people.

the American delegation bropgbt
iorth a new proposal to limit the sI,s
OF submarines and other auxl,i,rv
craft to a maximum Of 10000 tons
Inc presentation of the French
viewpoint, based on calculations OF her
naval experts and reinforced by an.
proVal OF the French cabinet meet.
ing In Paris, was followed by lengthy
discussions. the committee adjournInr
the session after two hours after ar.
rangements had been made TO meet
again at 3 p. m.
Albert Sarraut, head Of the French
delegation, 1t was understood pre.
scented with an air Of finallty the de-
ciaration that France could not accent
less than 100000 tons Of auxiliary
tonnage, In addition to submarine
tonnage of 10000. The American
compromise proposal would have given
France $1,000 tons of submarines.
The British and japanese delega-
lions are said to have stated that In
view Of the French stand on subma-
rines they would both feel compelled to
reserve action on the tonnage ratio for
auxiliary craft allotted Great Britain
and Japan under the American plan.
Italian spokesman, following presen-
tation OF the French demand, II was
said, expressed regret that France had
not seen Its way clear to accept a
smaller tonnage, and Japan, also
through here delegation spokesman, de-
clared that French demands amounted
to something which Japan could not
hope to sanction under the American
proposal.
The French delegation declared ac-
herence to the capital ship ratio de-
mand despite disagreement on sub
marines, but with the reservation that
she desired to begin rebuilding re-
placement in 1927 although this did
not mean that she intended placing
them I'm the water before the replace
ment period provided under the cap
ltal agreement.
Agreed that there was no hope Of
an agreement on total submarine tom
mage, the committee turned from the
submarine question to that Of auxll'
larry craft. The proposal that the size
of any warshlp other than capital
ship or an alrplane carrier he limited
to 10000 tons in future was put for
ward and was under discussion when
the midday adjournment was taken.
The American proposition to limit
the size of auxiliary craft to 10000
tons also provides that such vessels
shall not carry guns greater than eight
inches.
The American delegation, II was
learned after the meeting, plans later
to present a proposal dealing with
airplane carriers, probably suggesting
Limitation of size as well as number.
