Interesting Meeting
Held Yesterday

A very interesting meeting was
held at the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday afternoon, when Mrs. Anne J.
Campbell gave lessons in jam and
Jelly making to number of ladies
who are planning to specialize in these
two particular products.
Although the meeting was lacking
in number the interest was not in the
minority. These ladies were very en-
thusiastic and were delighted with the
idea Of making blackberry jam and
plum jelly for commercial purposes.
These fruits grow wild and there is no
need for them to be wasted. When the
boil weevil makes his abode perma
nent, there will be great deal of
land lying idle, consequently more
plum trees and blackberry plants will
be growing and why should the fruit
go to waste when the consumers need
the finished products and the home
demonstration women can certainly
use the money that they earn in that
way.
Mrs. Campbell is working hard to
put this particular project across. She
hrs wonderful vision and knows just
what it will mean to the farm wcmer
in the future.
After the demonstration the mem
bers of Bonham, Midway and SardiS
clubs voted to be consolidated ard the
following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. Lloyd Belue.
president, Mrs. Jas. Beten-
baugh.
Secretary, Miss Carrie Hawkins.
Hereafter this club will be known
as the Consolidated Home Demonstra-
ton club and will hold it's meetings
in Union on every fourth Saturday af-
ternoon. At the next meeting, Febru.
ary 25, at 2:30 Miss Snider, food spe-
cialist, Winthrop College, will make q
devils food cake and ice it. This
promises to be very interesting
demonstration and every member of
these clubs are urged to be present

PARTY LEADERS
DISCUSS AFFAIRS

Washington, Feb. IA Legislative
program contemplating ratification OF
the treaties growing out of the arms
conference and passage of the tariff
soldiers bonus, farm credit and mrr.
chant marine bills, with adjournment
Of congress about June /, was said
to have been agreed upon Mt White
House dinner conference tonight with
President Harding, attended by mem.
bers of the senate and house steering
committees.
1t was the understanding that the
treaties which the president expects
to submit to the senate this week OF
as asoon as the American delegation
can make its report, would be given
the right of way in the senate until
such time as the tariff bill was re
ported by the finance committee. The
plan then would be to consider the
tariff measure and the treaties alter
nately.
1t was said that the president has
been assured by senators that ther!
would be little if any opposition to
the treaties. The president, it is add
ed, gave no indication as to whether
he would present the treaties to the
senate in person.
The bonus bill was said to have
been discussed at the conference but
the problem of financing it was not
touched upon. Some of the prcsi-
dents callers said they were satisfied
to leave this to the majority mem-
bers of the house ways and means
committee and the senate finance
committee. This was in line with the
agreement reached by the president
and members Of those committees
yesterday.
President Harding's guests left the
White House with the suppression
that it was the intention OF the eX-
ecutive to submit his recommenda-
tions as to merchant marine lagisla.
tion within ten days.
The farm credit Legislation con-
templated, it was explained, will be
drawn with view to carrying out the
recommendations of the special con-
gressional commission which has
been inquiring into conditions in ag-
|'riculture. In its report this commits
sion emphasized the necessity for
adopting existing bank fasilities.Ato

BORDER TOWNS
ASK FOR TROOPS

Washington, Feb. 7.-Strong feel
ing by Americans along the Mexican
border that more troops should be
stationed there is commented upon by
Assistant Secretary wainwright Of
the war department and Major Gen,
eral Harbord, deputy chief of staff
in a statement issued at the war de.
partment after their return recently
from a 1000 mile inspection trip OF
army camps and commands within
the United States.
AT every station on the Mexican
border" the statement said, "meet-
ings were held with the citizens, at
their request, to permit them to pre-
sent their claims for more troops
They were in every case assured that
the war department was doing its
best with the limited numbers at its
disposal.
"a strong sentiment was found
throughout the South and Southwest
that the army should not under and
circumstances go below it's present
strength" the statement added.
Housing conditions for troops at
Camps Knox, Kentucky; Benning
Georgia; and Douglas, Ariz., Colum-
bus, o., barracks and several other
stations "are very poor" the state
ment said.
"Officers and soldiers are not given
the consideration in the matter OF
quarters which public opinion de-
mands for prisoners in the peniten-
tiaries of several states" it was add
ed. THE Inconvenience and made
quacy of the quarters furnished in
several places is nothing short of
shameful.
"The new military policy by which
the army of the United States con-
sists of the regular army, the nation
al guard and organized reserves, is
everywhere satisfactory to all three
branches. Relations between the reg
ular army and the two components of
the service are everywhere improving
and leave little to be desired. The
national guard is increasing and the
presence of so many veterans in its
ranks and among the organized re-

fore the end of the year with the
meager appropriations available, con-

conditions, is a very high tribute tc

and officer, and to army women"
Relations between the military and
civil authorities at all posts visited

plant was received by the two of.
ficers as to the conduct of soldiers.

MORE ABOUT
BONUS LEGISLATION


out from the White House today that
President Harding was strongly op-
posed to the writing into the soldiers
bonus bill of a provision for the use
of the refunding freign bontls in
helping to finance the adjusted COM
pensation program. Confidence was
expressed that no such provision
would be included in the measure.
The president was represented as
taking the view that since the refund
ing negotiations would be incomplete
when the bonus bill was passed it
would be unwise to depend on foreign
bonds as source of revenue to meet
the compensation payments. In his
talks with congressional leaders, on
this subject he is understood to have
insisted that bonus legislation pro-
vide definite and certain revenue
sources.
The problem of financing the bo-
nus is giving congressional leaders
no small amount of concern. With
the house ways and means committee
hearings brought to a close today,
majority members of that committee
and the senate finance committee plan
to attack that problem within a few
days.
One difficulty in connection with
the drafting of the bill, it is explain
ed, is the lack of definite information
as to the cost of carrying out the
five way" plan. This will depend
upon the numbers of former service
men who choose the various plans. If
all take cash the cost would be ap-
proximately $1,5OO,OOO,OOO within
two and one-half years. The basis
upon which the committeeman will
work in solving the financing problem
will be that SO per cent of the men
will take cash.
Since cash payments would be dis
tributed over more than two years,
with each quarterly period during
that period equalling one-tenth of the
total to be paid each applicant, many
members of congress believe that a
large majority will elect one of the
other four plans, insurance, vocation
al training, land settlement and home
aid. Officials of the American Le-
gion who have appeared before the
house committee also share this view.
Fiscal officers of the army, navy
IandsrnAxius corps.- -hsvae es,,hpaittsa .as-
timates to the committee that the to-
tai cost of the bonus would be APP
proximaely $2,5OO,OOO,OOo. This is
on the basis that so percent of the
men who served in the army and IS
percent of those serving with the
navy and marine corps will take cash
Navy and marine corps officers told
the committee today that the rs per
cent figure was arrived at on the the
ory that men who served at sea were
less tied to the land than those who
had served in the army.

MAY ORGANIZE
NEW THIRD PARTY
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

DJ hu6h INODeTtS-
Washington, Feb. 7.-If the people
are dissatisfied with the achieve
ment or lack of achievement Of the
Harding administration, and in un-
mistakablc manner prove it in the
result Of the congressional elections
the coming fall, third party, ,dcnti-
cal in nature with the Bull Moose
organization OF some years ago, will
spring into existence.
Its leaders will be independent Re.
publiranS in the senate of the United
Statcs-kcnyon of Iowa, Borah of
Idaho, Norris of Nebraska, and half
Il dozen others. 1t is no secret that
these men believe that the country
feels aS they do, diSgustcd If their
opinion is sustained by the result Of
the elections they will regard the
iron hot and ready for striking.
These Progressive leaders feel that
new third party would not live the
short live that the Bull Moose party
lived. They belie>~ that their organ
iza,ion would draw from the Demo
cratic as we'll as the Republican party V
and that as Il result their candidate
would be elected presidrnv. They
contend that the Dmocratic party can
never again be distinguished by sol
idarity as long as it is committed to
the league of nations established by
the treaty of Versailles.
If the third party movement is un-
dcrtaken. it's first presidential nomi-
nee will be Senator w. s. Kenyon OF
Iowa, recently appointed federal
judge by the president. He is pro-
gressivc without being radical, and
idealistic without being utopian. He
is stronger mentally than Norris, not
bitter and vituperativc as Borah Is
and apparently more sincere than
Johnson of California.
He is the man beyond all pcrad,
venture. The farmers of the West
would nominate him.
Two years ago the Progressive
presidential choice was Hiram John
son. He is no longer considered n
possibility. Two years have brought
about his undoing. He has all but
disappeared from the political map.

by his lodging the vote on Senator
