The City WaterwOrks
 Makes Fine Showing

l. Those citizens, who signed the notes in August, 1921, to rehabilitate the city waterworks will be interest ed to know that this week the notes amounting to $750 were paid off in full. At that time the plant was in such a rundown condition that citi- zens were forced to get behind it and put it On it's feet. C. I. Bowles ,who took charge at that time, has made a good showing in the plants earn ings. Besides the $750 in notes that have been paid off $1350 in old ac- counts have been taken up out of the earnings. In addition to that some 50 or 75 meters have been bought and paid for. The physical condition of the plant is as good as it has ever been since it was a new plant.

GERMANY UNABLE
 TO PURCHASE FOOD Huge Output of Paper Marks Cannot Buy Needed Grain-Europe
 Looks to U. 5.

Paris, Nov. 14.-Germany must get SOC, ,000,OO0,00O marks worth of grain to feed her people during the next year, the Preparations Commission learned in it's investigation in Berlin
 As that amount is about double the present total of paper money i'm circu- lation, purchase of the grain is deem ed impossible except. through speedy try, or food credits from abroad.
 It seems to be taken for granted that both the credits and the food will have to come from America.
 The SOO,00O, O,OO0,QC0 marks worth represents Germany's import require ments for the next 12 months, or D. O00,000 tons of grain the minimum amount considered necessary to pre- vent starvation Any attempt to buy this cereal in a foreign market would, in the opinion of experts, cause a serious reaction in other European exchanges.
 Danger Is Recognized. -
 The only way in which Germany can be saved from such problem, it is declared, is by stabilization of the mark at figure which would restire, in measure, international confid- ence.
 All the allied nations realize the seriousness of the situation in Ger many, but no European country is able to export the needed grain.
 This food question may hasten aa agreement among the allies concern ing Germany's reparations, although there has been no indication that Pre- mier Poincare has changed his mind about exacting further rigid guaran tees as a means of compelling Ger many to meet it's indemnity payments.
 The reparations, problem no wis in .'uspense until after the British cleo tions, after which the commission is expected to make another effort to agree on some sound economic plan in which sentiment shall not play a part.
 M. Barthou, French representative and president of the Preparations Commission, is believed to see the ur- gent need of such course, and the position of the commission is that, even though Germany may be largely to blame for her present difficulties must be dealt with toi prevent finan- cial and economic crash.

CHANCELLOR AND CABINET QUIT
German Ministry Resigns When SOcl-
 alists Refuse Their Support.

Bernn, Nov. 14-The cabinet of Chancellor Wirth resigned tonight after the United Socialists had voted not to participate in coalition min istry, which included members of the German Peoples party.
 Dr. Wirth has been chancellor since May 10, 1921, when he succeeded Konstantin Fehrenbach, who had re- signed. The Wirth cabinet tendereo it's resignation October P, 1921, but was reformed with a new personnel headed by Wirth two days later. For some time Dr. Wirth faced troublous times, owing to his ministry's repara- tions program, the stabilization of the mark and the general economic and internal and external questions, to which the opposition parties in the Reichstag objected.
 Reorganization of the cabinet had been in contemplation for several weeks, but the stumbling block was encountered in obtaining working arrangement between the Socialists and the Peoples party. President Ebert last Friday authorized the chan cellor to enter into immediate negO- tiations with the various parties in the Reichstag to consider early reorgan- ization of the cabinet. The action of the president was in accordance with Dr. Wirth's desire to extend the basis of his coalition ministry, with a view to enhancing it's parliamentary pres tige.

 Leaders Of the progressive group here say that it will be their purpose to make the conference a representa- tive one and to frame a platform, not so much in the expectation of enactins it into law during the next Congress, but with the idea of presenting to the country a definite program of meas ures and principles upon which the progressive sentiment throughout the country might crystalline for the strug - gle.
 Features of Program.

 Revision of the tax laws, levying higher rates upon big incomes, both corporate and individual.
 Radical curtailment of governmental expenditures.
 Recognition of the soviet Russian government.
 Curbing of the powers of the Fed eral Reserve Board.

FINDS MEANS TO
 CONTROL BOIL WEEVIL FlOrida Scientists Method Costs Less Than Two Dollars
 An Acre. --.-

Gainesville, Fla, Nov. 11.-Develop- ment of satisfactory method of co1t~ trolling the boil weevil on short staple or upland cotton, was announced here tonight by Dr. Wilmon Newell, plano commissioner for the state Plant Board and director of the University of Florida experiment station.
 Er. Newell's announcement was made as the result of the successful continuation of research work by Geo D. Smith, associate entomologist, con- ducted under the auspices of the state Plant Board
 The method involves a principle ln boil weeyil control heretofore not recognized, pr. Newell said, and he added that the total cost of treatment labor included, does not exceed $50 OF. $2 an acre. In the fields treated, the cotton crop in nearly every in- stance has been as large as that ob- tained before the advent of the weevil.
 While some poison is used, the a. mount is comparatively small, Dr Newell said. By means Of the improv- ed method a cotton field is cleared of practically all boil weevils early in June, and remains in that condition for several weeks. During this period a good crop of bolls is set without weevi, interference.
 Both the state Plant Board and the experiment station will issue immed- lately bulletins on the improved meth cd of control.
 "The boil weevils weak point now has been found," declared Dr. Newell, and by this method of control the farmer will be able to hand him a solar plexus blow The treated fields have produced just as much cotton as if there had been no boil weevils Thg return of profitable short staple cotton culture in Florida is now assured"

UnOVEE WILL URGE
 RATE ADJUSTMENT
To Tell Congress New Schedule of
 Railway Charges Is Needed-FOr ! Sane Regulations. -,

Washington, Nov. 14.-Need for re- Obstruction of the railroad rate struc- ' b of the country, in some cases with Ward readjustments, will be brought arv Hoover in his forthcoming an-
 nal report. Benefits both to the rail- Navs and to the farmers, in the secre- 2 tary's view, may be obtained through such reorganization.
 MT. Hoover'S report is planned to nresent comprehensive discussion of the national transportation problems covering car shortage regulation, weaknesses in the transportation act, labor and rail rates.
 Losses through shortage of trans portation facilities, MT. Hoover finds, are 8 tax on the community, stifling production, introducing speculation and disturbance. Despite the lact ol equipment he maintains that American management is the most efficient in
 
 } by uncomfortable circumstances.
 Regulation is necessary, he contends, but constructive development of this regulation to preserve the initiative of railway executives and at the same time to secure public protection and assure adequate service, are vital and not necessarily incompatible.
 Naturalization a Disaster.
 Naturalization would be a social and economic disaster" drafts of the report say. Free operation would re- construct the vicious practices of 30 years ago. The transportation act possesses many constructive features and some weaknesses. It was the re- suit of compromises in many particu- lars, and these very compromises are some of it's weakest points"
 Failure of the carriers to earn the amount provided under the act, MT. Hoover says, disproves the current . fiction" that earnings are "guaran- teeA"; while the provision whereby earnings above six per cent would be turned over to the government to be loaned to railroads, would not seem to those "anaemic carriers" who are unable to give the government assur- ance of repayment through their own inability to produce earnings. Consol- idation, howeves, he suggests, might so,vo the problem. Rates, according to the report are vivid question" n. the transportation situation heavy burden on agriculture in some areas, while at the same time railway earn ings are not large enough to assure railway expansion.
