CURRENT EVENTS
Tacna-Arica Conference.

Delegates OF Chile and Peru, two
South American countries. now are
meeting at Washington to settle boun-
Diary dispute that has been troubling
them Cor the last 40 years.
This boundary dispute is known as
the Tacna-Arica question because 1t
involves two provinces, or states. known
as Tacna and africa. The conference
is being held al Washington because
our government is neutral. taking no
sides in the dispute. and therefore the
delegates can straighten out their
points of difference without interfer-
ence.
What IL the Tacna-Arica dispute?
1t started when the treaty Of Ancon
was signed in 1884. ending the war be-
tween Chile on one side and Peru ana
Bolivia on the other side.
BY this treaty the provinces Of Tao
ma and africa were given 10 Chile for
/ 10 years AT the end OF that 10 years,
the treaty provided, plebiscite should
be held-that is the people Of Tacna
and africa should be allowed to vote and
decide for themselves whether they
would be ruled by Chile or Peru.
But when the 10 years were over,
neither Chile nor Peru could decide
just how the pebiscite should be held.
So it wasn't held. Meanwhile Chile
kept Tacna and africa.
Chile and Peru kept arguing about
the question until 1902 when both be-
came angry and called home their dip
lomatic representatives. They have not
been on friendly terms since.
After the World War. the two coun'
tries tried to have their differences
settled by the League of Nations, but
failed.
Finally President Harding invited
Chile and Peru to meet at Washington
and iron out their troubles. The pres
ent meeting Is the result Of his invita-
tion.
The meeting is being held In tn
Pan-American Union building. wher
many sessions OF the conference OF
limitation of armament were held las
year.

HIGHEST PRICE TO

States High Mark Reached in Sale
of Six Thousand Fleeces by
First National Bank of
This City Made Today

The First National Bank of this
city, acting for clients, sold six
thousand fleeces today to Boston
buyers for 35 cents per pound, the
highest mark to be recorded in a
transaction of the kind in this coun-
ty for several years and equaling
the high marks established in the
western part of the state few days
ago. The feeces will average about
seven and one-half pounds in weight
and will be delivered within a short
time, or just as soon as shearing op-
erations have been concluded.
The sale is taken to indicate a
fully restored wool market in the
east, where the textile centers are
served through purchases made by
middlemen, and those conversant
with the situation asseverate that
the prices of next season are to be
largely dictated by those that gov

1T is SUMMER NOW BY
CALENDAR AND MERCURY

The calendar continues to lie.
First it gave us spring with winter
hanging on; now it gives us spring
even though summer is on in full
blast. Human desire is never fully
sated. 1t may be casually remarked
that the calendar and the thermome-
ter have been dreadfully out of
tune hereabouts for a long time and
a good deal of wonderment is in
dulged as to just when the two will
be stepping together in perfect uni
son.
Yesterday was a corker for heat,
although no prostrations were re-
corded outside of the great throng
who have "spring colds.' This
bunch coughed and cavorted, snuffed
and sneezed, as the mercury rose
to 81 in the shade yesterday after
noon and the corn languished and
dropped in the garden rows here
abouts. The spring cold victim is
a perfect prototype for the winter
crouch. He sees red and green al
ternately, but lacks the sanguine
state of mind and bides the time
when purged liver will deliver him
from his earthly ills.
The lowest temperature recorded
this morning was So above and the
heat waves were even then invading
the most secluded and generously
shaded spots in the community.
Down at the soda fountains pretty
girls move about in blithesome man
ner as they serve cooling drinks to
the incoming throng.
Yesterdays mean tempermature
was 63 as compared to a normal
mean for the date of 55 and that
eight degrees of extra heat melted
down many stiff collars.
Weather Forecaster Ray Fisher
gives us hope that we will be re-
lieved from the hot spell by prophe-
sying a rainstorm for tonight and
tomorrow. The clouds are here as
per forecast, but they seem to be as
dry as an undertaker's eye.
