Soviet Delegates Favor British Basis
For Peace Negotiations. French
And British Demands Will Be In
c0rporated In One Note.

Genoa, Italy, April 29-The Rus
SLAMS will reject the French terms but
will consider the British as basis for
peace negotiations. This decision was
,ached by the Russian delegates in
4 conference that extended to the ear
ly hours Of today. Allied interests
intend to combine the French and
British demands into one note which
will be presented to the Russians be-
fore night. In view of this a SUBJ
committee is working on such note.
The main difference in the demands
is that the French demand complete
payment of the war debts and the re-
turn of the property seized by the So
Wet in Russia. The British will, when
the note is presented ask several
questions directed at the attitude of
Russia to prevent the crippling of the
Soviets and lay down the terms for
Allied assistance.

Flax to BE Sown to Greater Extent
Than Ever, County Agent States.

Fargo, April 20. - Wheat acreage
in Cass county is 80 percent of that
Of last year, it was announced yester-
day by E. A. Wilson, county agent.
Practically all of the farmers in the
county planned on a 10 percent reduc-
ton and this coupled with prohibitive
weather hindering seeding operations
brings the total acreage to about 80
percent.
Flax is replacing wheat, Mr.. Will
son said, and he has reports that
this crop will be sown to greater
extent than ever before. Farmers
are finding difficulty in getting seed
and it is not expected that they will
be able to utilize the 20 per cent
acreage for fax. Mr.. Wilson express
sed his belief that enough fax will be
sown to make up for the loss in wheat
acreage caused by the bad weather.
Besides fax the acreage of feeds
and leguminous grains will be larger
than last year. Alfalfa and sweet
clover will show an increased acreage.
Seeding operations are general over
the county with very few exceptions.
Reports to the county agents Office
yesterday disclosed the fact that
farmers around Gardner, Argusville
and Grandin are all in the fields and
that seeding operations should be
cleaned up in the next week. Wheat
seeding in sections Of the western
part Of the county is completed and
farmers there have turned their at
tention to other spring work.
The potato acreage in Cass county
will be increased. especially in the
western part around Page, Ayr and
Hunter, Mr.. Wilson reported. The
crop last year was of nature to
warrant an increased acreage this
year. Potato seeding is expected to
start about the middle of May.

MAKING MAY BASKETS
By Martina Gardner Owen.

Fred's aunt, who was kindergar-
ten teacher, had given him a pair of
round-pointed scissors for his fourth
birthday. She had also prevented pos
sible trouble by explaining that the
scissors must never, never cut any
thing unless Mother had first told
him that they might. Now Fred was
demanding: "What may I cut, Moth
err" For a moment Mother was
puzzled. He hadn't mastered the use
Of scissors sufficiently to cut out pic
lures. He could just make straight
slashes.
"How would you like to make May
baskets ?" Mother asked at last. ooh,
goody! May II" he returned, clapping
his hands. eyes, indeed" Mother as
sured him, as she dived into the draw
er that held her haphazard collection
of odds and ends. "See, here are some
small boxes, all empty. Raisin boxes,
cereal boxes and cookie boxes. And
here is some pretty paper. The pink
is incest. It was left over. when I put
fresh papers on the pantry shelf. I'll
cut strips to go around the boxes.
Then you can cut them into fringe.
Try to make your cuts even and close
together. When you have enough
good fringe we will paste it all around
the boxes. Then we will fasten on
some stout strips for handles and
cover the handles with other strips Of
pink paper fringed on both sides, and
the May baskets will be finished"
"And may | hang them on May
Day? asked Fred. "Of course you
may" replied Mother. "While you are
cutting think about the playmates to
whom you wish to give them. Wen
talk it over while they are being fin
tished."
Mother returned to her baking with
clear conscience. Son was learning
the Joy Of the Job Well Done. He was
gaining control of the muscles of his
chubby little hands. And soon there
would be a talk which would stimu-
late the habit of Taking Thought for
Others. Certainly that was sufficient
interest for the investment of ten
morning minutes.
