RUSSIAN POSITION
PRESENTED AGAIN
SOVIET TO ACCEPT EUROPE'S
INVITATION TO RESTATE THE
CASE.-DELEGATES HOPE THE
STATEMENT WILL BE FOR RE.
NEWED NEGOTIATIONS

The Hague, July 16.-Soviet Rus
sia will accept Europe's invitation to
restate it's case. This information Was
conveyed tonight to the Associated
Press by the Soviet spokesman.
Whether that restatement will result
in a revival of The Hague conference
nobody, least of all the Russian del
egates, dare predict.
Maxim Ltvinoff, head of the
Soviets, has communicated with Mos
cow and Russia's answer to the com.
munication sent to the Russian dele
cation yesterday, which was virtually
a bid for new declarations from the
Russians, may be delayed until Mos
cow has its say.
In the meantime further down the
storm-swept dunes of Scheveningen
the non-Russian delegates continued
their work of preparing reports OF
the three subcommissions which will
show why they failed to reach an &C,
cord with the Russian delegates on
the vital question of property, debts
and credits.
Whether these reports will be pre-
sented and adopted at final plenary
session Wednesday depends on the
nature of the Soviet answer. On this

labored throughout Sunday.
eve hope," said the Soviet repre-
sentatives, "that our new statement
will be deemed basis for renewed
negotiations but that is for the non
Russian delegates to decide. We will
try to make our position clear"
Europe's attempt to resuscitate The
Hague conference is regarded here as
additional proof of the seriousness
of the general economic situation.
The Hague has become a sort Of ba-
rometer for Europe as whole. The
experts assembled here have been in
structed by their home governments
to exhaust every possible means to
reach an accord, or the beginning
of an accord, with the Russians be-
cause it is believed that any advance
made in the solution of the Russian
problem will contribute greatly to a
betterment of the economic situation
as whole.

RUSSIANS AWAIT
MOVE BY OTHERS
BREAK COMES OVER CONFlS-
GATED PROPERTY DELE
GATES APPARENTLY, UN-
ABLE TO GET TOGETHER
AGAIN AT THE HAGUE

The Hague, July 15.-Both the
Russian and non-Russian delega-
tions were sitting sadly on Scheve-
ningen beach tonight, each delega-
ton waiting for the other to make
some move which may resuscitate
the expiring conference on Russian
affairs.
The Russians say they will not
attend another sessions unless they
are invited and the non-Russlans
say they are willing to meet with
the Russians if M. Litvinoff will
bring new proposals.
The British, Belgian, French and
italian delegations all took a fling
at the Bolshevik at the prolonged
session of the credit sub-commis-
sion today in the course of which
M. Litvinoff endeavored to place
entire responsibility for the failure
of the conference upon the non
Russians and charged that "the
capitalistic press of the world join
with the capitalistie governments
in defeating Russta's efforts to get
credits for reconstruction"
From the beginning Of the meet
ings between the Bolshevik and the
on-Russians on June. 26, the Rus
slams have refused to say what they
would do about the restoration OF
foreigners property in Russia until
the nom Russians told them how
much credit they were willing to
saarsntes for Russian restoration.
The non-Russians have insisted that
they could not recommend the ex-
tension of credits to Russia until
they knew what the Russians
would do about foreigners proper
ty and what guarantees would be
given for the safety of foreigners
desiring to reenter the Russian
business field.
From beginning to the end the
differences have all centered about
confscated property in Russia; all
the formulas of the experts have
failed because the Bolsheviki stood
fast on naturalization of property
of foreigners and Russians alike.
M. Litvinoff said tonight that he
had no late instructions from Mos
cow and there is no disposition on
the part of the Russians apparently
to make any further proposals.

SENT OUT MONEY
TO ALL COUNTIES
COUNTY GETS ST.
515.16 IN GAS TAX DlSTRIBU-
TON PAST THREE MONTHS.
OVER s1os, 900 GOES FOR ROAD
WORK ALL OVER STATE.

Columbia, July 16.-Charleston
county leads the entire state in the
amount to be received from the gaso-
line tax for the first payment of the
year, this being for March, April and
May, sent out by Samuel T. Carter,
state treasurer. Charleston's share
was $9,306.91. Mccormick tailed the
ticket with $756.36.
Treasurer Carter has sent checks
to all the counties for their share of
the first three months, this being so
per cent. of the total collected, $216-
9O1.57. The counties received $780,
448.56.
Under the law the tax of two
cents a gallon on gasoline is divided
$3.50 between the counties and the
state, the amount to the counties to
be used exclusively for road purposes.
Each county gets a proportionate
share in the fund according to the
ratio of the collection in the county
to total in the state and the ratio
of the assessed value Of the proper
ty in the county to the total assessed
value of the property of the state.
The tax so far has averaged about
$72,300 month and at that rate
should bring in a total of a little
over 100000 for this year. The law
went into effect March 1.
The amounts sent to the counties
of the upper part of the State are as
fo1Ious.

COMMITTEE REJECTS
-
PROPOSAL BY FORD
FAILURE TO ELIMINATE COR.
GAS STEAM PLANT AND TO
REDUCE TENURE OF PRO-
POSED LEASE FROM 100 TO
so YEARS OBSTACLES.

Washington, July 16.-The SEN
ate committee on agriculture today
rejected the Henry Ford offer for
Muscle Shoals by vote of 9 to 7.
1t refused to report the offer
with an amendment reducing the
proposed lease period from 100 to
SO years by vote OF 8 to 8. 90.
1t refused to take up the govern
ment ownership dill of Senator
Norris by vote Of 9 to 5.
AS result each separate school of
thought will render its report to
the senate and the battle will be
fought out in the open in the next
session Of congress.
The Ford offer received eight of
81 votes in the house committee on
military affairs. 1t would have re-
ceived 13 or a majority of the
votes had the Gorgas steam plant
been eliminated from the list of
properties to be given Ford. The
offer would have been reported on
favorably by the senate committee
today had the proposed lease period
been reduced from 100 to so years.
The Gorgas steam plant is far re-
move from Muscle Shoals, and in
the opinion of congress is not es-
sential to Ford as it is to industrial
Alabama. It would be contrary to
existing law were the government
to enter into lease for a period
greater than So years. If Ford
would amend his offer 50 as to
eliminate Gorgas and reduce the
lease period, it could be put
through congress.
That in the end he will do so is
confidently believed. This belief,
which is becoming general, is based
on the knowledge that Ford is sim
cere in his desire to acquire the
property, build new metropolis in
Alabama, give the South an abun-
dance of cheap, life giving fertili-
zer and confer an actual boon on
humanity. It is not regarded as
possible that Ford, already enrich
ed beyond the dreams Of avarice,
would permit such minor consider
ations to checkmate him in schemes
to uplift his more unfortunate
neighbors.
The fight in the committee today
was red hot and spectacular. Points
of order were made on every sug-
gestion and there were numerous
appeals from the decisions of the
chair. The conclusion reached,
however, represents the sense OF
the committee when all it's members
are present, and had, through a
technicality, Southern senators won
victory it would have been an
nulled on the return of absentees.
AS previously pointed out, the
Muscle Shoals fight could not have
been settled in committee. 1t was
predestined to constitute the issue
in spectacular struggle to be
staged in the open.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi
led the pro-Ford fight in committee
today ably seconded by Senator
Smith of South Carolina. Other
Democrats, Senators Heflin of Ala
bama, Rsnsdell Of Louisiana and
Caraway of Arkansas, supported
the leaders. One Democrat, Senator
Kendrick of Wyoming opposed
Ford.

PATENTED WEEvIL REMEDIES.
Much Money Wasted on Such Device
Says Director Long.

Clemson College.-It is evident that
the farmers of South Carolina are
spending thousands of dollars in the
purchasing of different machines, ex-
terminators, and patened methods of
boil weevil control simply upon the
authority of statements made by the
agents who are selling them, says
Director w. w. Long, who feels sure
that millions Of dollars have been alb
solutely thrown away in this manner
by the farmers of the southern states
as the boil weevil has made its ad-
vances through the cotton belt, by
purchasing contrivances and materials
that failed to do what was claimed
for them.
Clemson College makes this offer
to all the agents who are selling boil
weevil exterminatcrs, catchers and
patented methods of boil weevil con-
troll; that if such agents will sub
nit their machines and patented
methods to the experts of the Unit
ed States Department OF Agriculture,
ir the event that the experts of the
United States Department of Agri-
colture and Clemson College find them
meritorious and consequently are will
ing after sufficient trial to advise
farmers to make the purchase of any
of these exterminators, catchers or
methods of control, Clemson College
will at once use all its power and
influence through the public press and
through all of its agencies, to call to
the attention of the people the sue
cess of any exterminator or catcher or
method of control, thus eliminating
the expenses on the part of the man.
ufacturers or patentees in the hiring
of agents and the large sum expended
for advertising and other necessary
expenses in bringing their machines
or products to the attention of the
farmers of South Carolina.
If these agencies have what they
claim, they will be glad of the oppor-
tunity of having the college and the
United States government to become
in the last analysis their advertising
and sales agents. If there are any
companies or agents offering for sale
machines and remedies for the con-
troll of the boil weevil who are not
willing for the government to pass
upon the efficiency of their machines
and methods, the fact should raise
a reasonable doubt in the minds of
farmers as to the wisdom of invest
ing in their so-called machines and
methods of control Of the boil weevil.

Products Being Standardized by Home
Demonstration Women.

One of the most significant pieces
of work being done in South Caro-
lima is the large sale of Al butter,
which product is being sold through
the South Carolina Home Producers
Association. Most Of this butter is
being handled by the Palace Mar
ket, Taylor street, Columbia. 1t is
shipped in from the different coun-
ties and inspected before it is put
on the market. It is made by the
home demonstration club women who
have taken dairy work under the
supervision of the home demonstra-
ton dairy specialist.
In the beginning only very small
shipments We're made. These ship
ments rapidly became larger ss the
demand became greater, until last
week, when the shipment totaled
1873 pounds. Our customer said that
since she had been buying Al but
ter she could not keep any in the
house. She laughed and remarked,
"it is too good to keep"
The nome demonstration depart
ment is trying to develop every pos
sible home enterprise which will fur
nish paying products to market.

our work, Mr.. o. B. Martin of the

velop the resources OF the farms
