BRITISH FAVOR GERMANS

London, Aug. 13.-The French dele
cation to the conference on German
affairs was amazed to learn yesterday
that the British government proposes
and insists upon a reduction of the
German reparations payments to
about one-third the amounts fixed by
the London schedule of payments of
May, 1921-that is to cancel alto
gether the annual cash payments Of
2,000,000,000 gold marks, and to leave
only the 20 per cent assessment on
German exports.
The text of Premier Lloyd Georges
proposal, which forms part of the
tenth point of the British memoran-
dunn reads:
Subject to acceptance by the Ger
man government of these guarantees
it will be for the reparations commits
sion to grant moratorium In respect
to all cash payments remaining due
from Germany up to the 31st of De-
cember, 1922, and further, the COM
mission shall as soon as possible fix
the annual payments in cash in re-
spect to all peace treaty charges for
the succeeding period at such an
amount not exceeding 26 per cent of
the value Of German exports with a
view to the early f1otation of a loan
/ by the German government, the pro-
ceeds of which shall be devoted to the
payment of reparations."
/ NJ. Poincare had doubts regarding
the Interpretation to be placed on this
article and it was one of the points
referred by the premiers to the COM
mittee of experts. Only at yesterday
afternoons sitting Of the experts com
mittee did NJ. DeLasterie, the French
finance minister, obtain explanations
from the British members that it was
designed to reduce the total cash pay.

cent of the value Of German exports

ments in kind. N. DeLasterie is un.
derstood to have informed the com.
mittee there was not the least chancs
Of the French government accepting
such an idea, or seriously considering
it.

A BACKLOT GAME
Wild Pitching Caused the Wildcats
To Lose at Palatka aSturday

In free hitting and hard running
game Saturday afternoon in Palatka,
the Pals licked our Wildcats by the
outrageous score Of 10 to II. The
game was featured by the hard hitting
Of both teams. Extra base licks were
the order of the day and each team
was doing its best to lose all the balls
in Palatka.
The Wildcats lost the game in the
eighth when their entire pitching staff
lost the home plate and before it
could be located again eight men had
been granted free passes, which cou-
pied with few hits totaled eight tai
lies for the Pals in that one frame.
The Wildcats played good ball in the
field, making only one error. The Pals
made four errors but none of them
were costly. It was a game where al
the pitchers had to do was throw it
and duck and If they failed to duck
quickly they were in danger of eating
a baseball.
This game ended the season of base
ball with Palatka. The two teams are
very evenly matched and with the ex.
ception Of Saturdays farce have play.
ed a series of close, hard-fought
games. The Wildcats have slightly
the better OF the argument, since they
! have won FIVE out of the nine games
played.

PRIMARY TOMORROW
IN MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 14-Missis-

Former Congressman Hubert Steph-

three candidates express entire conf

announcements, it is generally conced-

CARD OF THANKS
FROM HUSTLING CLARENCE
Bushnell, Fla, August. u.

Bushnell, Fla, August. II.
Editor Star: Let me thank you for
all of Sumter for your space given to
a perfectly fair statement of the con-
ference Of the Marion and Sumter
commissioners on Tuesday last, in
their effort to solve wisely and well
and fairly the contention over the
method of joining State Air Road 124
from this direction, with State Road
No. 2-Dixie Highway-at Belleview.
The broad view taken by your COM
missioners must appeal to everybody
as worthy of officials elected to their
responsible offices. They were legis-
lating not merely for the people or to-
day nor tomorrow, but for all time.
This is great idea in building roads,
bridges and culverts, no less than
building hotels, schools and packing
houses. Build for the future.
| If the commissioners of fernando,
to our south, will be governed by the
same high principles of neighbourly
consideration and justice to the
traveller, we shall obtain decent road
through the six miles of "No Mans
Land" at our Sumter-Hernando line
where our million dollar road drops
off into the sand at Lacoochee bridge
And then Ocalans can travel to Tam
pa by route many miles shorter thar
any existing at present.

HARD TIMES HOP BY wooDMEN
Good Time is Enjoyed by Hundreds
Who Attended

If people can have more fun than
was enjoyed by those attending the
Woodmen hard times dance last Tues
day evening we'd like to be in the
midst of it. Dance tickets have been
selling at $1.00 to $1.50 for the past
three years, but everything else seems
to be on a downward trend, so the
Woodmen thought they'd experiment
. little by putting on hop at nom-
inal price, 55 cents. That the expert
ment was a success is proven by the
fact that another will be held in two
weeks. Men and women alike appear
ed in fantastic and fearfuly construc-
ted hard times costumes and had the
time Of their lives. A kangaroo court
was presided over by A. P. Guy, who
wore a "Shakespearean" wig and King
Solomon gown to distinguish him from
the hoi polloi, or rabble. Late arriv-
gsst&ere conducted, more or less for
cibly, before his royal highness and
compelled to occupy the seat Of honor,
while the Judge looked solemn and
asked few foolish questions. Then
o. H. McGrew turned on the juice
and sent shot of electricity through
the victims seat of learning. The
quick jump made by the prisoner was
taken as proof positive of guilt and a
small fine imposed, the amount being
left to each persons individual idea
of generosity. When any one showed
signs of reluctance in approaching the
"throne" John Olson, as master OF
ceremonies, secured half Nelson and
strangle hold and succeeded in per-
suading the victim that resistance
would be useless. Music was furnish
ed by members Of MAYORS orchestra
and in our humble opinion wasn't much
worse than the costumes.
: A lunch was served at midnight but
the senior editor went home because
Martin Jacobs, Gene Naylor, o. H.
McGrew, Carl Bowerman and several
other table comedians were there, and
it makes US homesick to hear 'em eat.
Gatherings Of this kind bring people
together in renewed fellowship and
should be held oftener. Better attend
the next one, or you'll miss something.

He also intends to raise some certified
seed potatoes.
In averaging all the potato club re-

yield was 167 bushels per acre. The
potatoes were purchased at an aver.
age cost of $47.43 per acre, and pro-

STATE TO LIMIT
SIZE OF LOANS
No Application for More Than $4,000
Will Be Considered by Farm
Department
BANK CATCHES" SAVING HABIT
All Superfluous Employees of Stat.
Are Being Weeded Out

Acting on the advice of Manager
Wilbert B. Default of the farm loan
department of the Bank of North Da-
kota, the industrial commission has
adopted resolution making $4,000
the limit that will be loaned to. any
one borrower from the states rural
credit system. The smallest loan limit
is $500.
This decision knocks out POI appli-
cations already on file asking for loans
to the amount Of 2,680 800, and saves
that sum for the use Of smaller land
holders. The last administration had
approved twenty-eight Of these loans
aggregating $685., 500.
Another decision by the industrial
commission, also taken at the recon-
mendation of Manager Default, pro-
hibits the loaning of state farm loan
money to land owners not actually
living on their farms and cultivating
them themselves. This saves another
$4,000 on the applications. received,
for actual farmers.
Three-fifths of the farm loans made
under the last administration are now
delinquent, according to figures COM
piled by Treasurer Steen.
A survey Of these loans shows that
many Of them have been made to polit-
ical leaders Of the last administration
and on such generous terms that some
of them amount to sales.
The saving habit inaugurated in
state affairs by the recall administra-
tion has also hit the Bank of North
Dakota under the management Of C.
r. Green. The number of employees
has already been materially decreased
and several departments consolidated
for the purpose of effecting economy
without hampering the efficiency Of
the service.
! The publicity bureau and bulletin
service have been discontinued, and
the new management will only issue
periodical reports such as are issued
by other leading financial institutions
The first Of these reports will be
ready this week. 1t will contain a
statement of the financial condition
of the bank and, besides, some inter.
esting and important information al
to the policy to be followed by the
farm loan department.
