FRANCE FACES DEFICIT !,
NNEXT YEARS BUDGET
Gigantic Sum Spent Since End
of War ON Restoration of
Devastated Areas
BY John O'Brien

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris. July 26-The problem of re-
parations has become Frances "Old
Man of the, Seq always with a
on her neck.
Since the armistice, France has
spent eight billion francs, or at the
varying rates Of exchange $4,000,
100000 to 100000, on the
restoration Of her devasted provin-
ces, task imposed on Germany by
the terms of the Treaty Of Versailles.
This is the explanation of the entire
financial and commercial situation of
France, her officials say.
France has advanced this enor-
nous sum out Of her own limited re-
sources trusting that sometime Ger
many will make good her promise.
Meanwhile, the French taxpayer is
forced to pay the interest on this
vast debt and the government, fac
ing deficit of about $35O,000, 900
in next years budget, does not
know where to turn to find the mon
ey even for current expenses.

Aladdin's lamp" said M. Francois
Marsal, noted financicr and former
minister of finance, "to fill the cof-

One feature for the Moose Baza-

every child who assemblies in front

be given free present. Among the
articles to be given away are bal
looms, whistles, medals, etc. Several
hundred Riddles are invited.
At no time can any parents hold
any fear for the absolute safety of
their children and themselves on the
Bazaar grounds. The bazaar is care
fully policcd every evening by re-
lays Of Moose members under H. L..
Campbell, their chief. Others who
have taken the regular police. oath
at the city hall are Earl Buckler,
Chester Treadwcll, Clarence Ma
gourn, William Utter and C. j.
Crosby. This has been simply pre-
cautionary measure on the part of
the Moose lodge. Certainly no ba-
zaar or carnival outfit visiting Be-
midi ever needed watching less.
Things went about as usual at the
bazaar last night, the Moose band
played, the crowds came and a pro-
portion went to tiie carnival dance
at the Moose hall. The local bazaar

NINE STATES JOIN in

Bureau Federation and Rail-
road Commissions Meet TO-
Fight Freight Increase

Pocketbooks of Minnesota farm.
ers are being protected by the Farm
Bureaus traffic experts in new
railroad rate, case involving $6,OOO,-
000fa year. .'"
!, C. B. Hutchings, traffice manager
Of the American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, came to Minnesota to con-
fer with representatives. of the state
railroad commissions Of nine grain
producing states, and lay plans for
combating an attempt by the roads
to wipe out the existing 10 per cent
rate differential on coarse grain.
When the Interstate Commerce Com
mission last winter ordered sweeping
reductions in freight rates on hay,
wheat and coarse grain it fixed rates
on coarse grain ten per cent lower
than those on wheat. Farm Bureau
traffic experts estimate that this ten
per cent difference means saving
Of at least S6,00O,000 to American
farmers raising coarse grains. It is
this ten percent rate difference which
the roads now seek to wipe out.
Representative Of the American
Farm Bureau federation and the rail-
road commissions of Minnesota, Wis
consin, Iowa, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and Oklahoma met in St.. Paul to de-
eide just what part each should take
in fighting the rate increase. The
railroads attempt to raise rates will
be strenuously opposed. >

RATLOMNG OF COAL IS
STARTED IN MINNESOTA
Coal to Be Rationed Out as
1t Arrives on Priority Ship
ments, Is New Plan
(By United prcss)

St. Paul, July 26.-Coal rationinp
was begun in Minnesota today fol,
lowing the appointment Of Ivan Bow,
en- as the state fuel administrator
Twin City dealers conferred with
Bowen on plans for rationing coal
and, while orders arc being taken,
few are being filled. The orders
will be filed as the coal becomes
available on ration basis.
Consumers can expect to get only
a portion of their order, it was
stated.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has granted priority on ship
ments of coal to the northwest, and
this will be rationed as it arrives.
The Minnesota fuel administration
and Twin City dealers will cooperate
with representatives Of other states
in securing fair apportionment of
available supplies for every section
where coal is needed.
1t is possible that North Dakota
will be independent Of the eastern
supply. Her Ignite mines, it is said,
will be able to supply the state, and
may ship hundreds Of thousands of
tons to adjacent territories.
Philadelphia, July 2G--Pians for
ending the strike in the anthracite
district formulated by six mayors
of the region at meeting held yes
terday at Scranton will be submit
ted to President John L. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea late today.
Lewis had no comment other than
"we will review the general situation
in the region and will make no plans
for the future. and that he was
very well pleased with the situation.

Substantial Gain + in Butter
Production Shown in 1921 :
: Over Preceding Year
REPORT FOR BELTRAMI r.
COUNTY ENCOURAGING
Amount Received By Patrons
Decreases But Returns
Are Called Good

In connection with the statewide
campaign ito better the grade OF
livestock and: increase butter and
cream production, it will be inter
esting to note that Minnesota butter
productions has increased in 1921
by 22.79 per cent over the produc-
ton in 1920, according to. figures
given out by the state Dairy and
Food Commission St. Paul. In 1921
the total butter production for. Min
nesota was 169,574,s72 pounds,
compared with a total production
of 139;229,843 pounds in 1920. t. 81
While the total amount paid pa
irons of the creameries, as. we'll as
other totals in the cash account
shows considerable Of a change in
1921 as compared with 1920 which
change may not appear to be partic-
ularly in favor Of the patrons, it
must be borne in mind that the cost
of practically all items that enter
into the production of cream has
been materially reduced since 1920
that is, the cost of care and feed
was less during 1921 than during
the period of higher prices, which
leads to the belief that the actual
net return to the patrons, taking
into account the costs is still real
ly worth while, Iandaa, much. better
return for the money and labor ex-
pended that the patron has received
from any other source.
In compiling these figures, the
commission states, it as been neces-
sary with respect to some Of the
countiesA ta estimate in part the
number of patrons as we'll as the
number Of cows, for the reason that
the figures covering these items
have not in every instance been
supplied by the secretary Of the To-
cal association, whose duty it is to
furnish the, commission with: this
information. The commission feels,
however, that the figures given are
such as may be depended upon as
approximately correct.
Comparative creamery statistics.
for Beltrami county show the total
number of patrons in 1920 as 523
while the total number in 1921 in
creased to 666. The number of cows
in the county according to the re-
port, increased from 1920 in 1920
to 4,762 in 1921. The number Of
pounds of cream received increased
from 1,426,93 in 1920 to 1,887,618
in 1921, while butterfat increased
from 438,28O pounds in 1920 to
554,715 pounds in. 1921 j..
The number Of pounds Of butter
made in 1920 is listed at 543,678
while the number of pounds for 1921
is given at 6sS,366. Creaneries &C
cording to the report received '$2S2
779.18i. in 1920 while the receipts
in 1921 totaled $241,799.27, a CON
siderable decreases. The amount paid
patrons in 1920 totaled $246,078.44
while the amount paid patrons in
1921 was $2O4,796.93 another de-
crease. E.
Unofficial reports on the returns
50 far this year are to the effect
that an even better year is in store
for dairy farmers this year and with
the increased interest, in dairying
from year to year the results are
expected to increase proportionate-

Two Shot at Creston, la.
(By United Press)

Chicago, July 26-War to the Bit
ter end was seen today as the rail-
road labor board adopted a hands,
off policy in the rail strike. Peace
talk was at premium. Both factions
prepared for a more extensive cam
paign, with the latter declaring their
ranks were unbroken. Rail executives
stated that the shop conditions were
gradually improving and that traffic
will be little affected by the strike.
Chairman Ben Hooper % Tho
railroad labor board INDICATED that
he would live up to the letter of
his statement: eve contemplate no
further action at present"
The one important step in the sit
uation was the refusal of the clerks
to sanction strike. This decision
was made after a conference with
the railroad labor board here.
Mr.. Hooper left today for North
crn Tennessee on account Of the
death Of his brother in law. This
will prevent any further peace move
by that body for this week,
