meeting in a wage conference seem.

officials of the United Mine Work.
ers of America on account of the
continued refusal of some operators
to meet with the miners to negotiate
an interstate wage agreement.
Union officials refrained from any
announcement on their future plans,
but it was indicated that the policy
committee might be called into ses-
sion before April 1 to deal with all
questions relating to the prospective
strike.
The union officials were optimistic
that public opinion would be with
them in the controversy with the
mine owners.
The insurgent movement of Illinois
miners officials is not yet viewed
with alarm by union officials here
and they continued to make the pos
tive assertion that no single wage
agreement would be tnade by any
district.
A. Frank Harrington, Illinois pres

PERSH|NG PROTESTS
REDUCTION OF ARMY

WASHINGTON, March 10-The
country will be without an armed
force large enough to handle do
nestle emergencies, ''let alone pos
sible. foreign trouble or invasion, "
if congress cuts her army to $4,000
enlisted men, General Pershing de-
clared today before the house mill

Told by Chairman Kahn that the
army appropriation. bill soon to be

He pointed out. that it is neces-

other foreign countries. He said g.
156 soldiers still are in Germany.

RATE CONFERENCE
SET FOR MARCH Z

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-A
conference between the interstate
commerce commission and represen-
tatives of state railway commissions
to discuss their respective jurisdic-
tions over rates, as suggested by
the supreme court in it's recent de-
cisions in the Wisconsin and other
rate cases, has been arranged for
March II.
The initiative for the conference
was taken by the interstate COM
merce commission through an in
vitation by Chairman McChord to
Carl D. Jackson, president Of the
National Association of Railway and
Utilities Commissioners. who accept
ed the invitation for March II.
In it's rate decisions, the supreme
court said that a general rate in
crease in some instances, might re-
duce traffic and revenues by discour-
aging patronage.
fSuch cases would be within the
saving clause of the order herein, y
the court said, land make proper
an application to the interstate COM
merce commission for appropriate
exception. So, too, in practice, when
the state commissions shall recog-
nize their obligation to maintain a
proportionate and equitable share of
the income of the carriers from in
trastate rates, conference between
the interstate commerce commission
and the state commissions may dis
pense with the necessity for any rig
id federal order as to the intrastate
rates and leave the state commits
sion's power to deal with them and
increase or reduce them in their dis
cretion."
In his invitation for conference
with the state commissioners, Chair
man McChord said that 1--WE wish in
particular to consider what can be
done appropriately in furtherance of
the views expressed by the supreme
court -

SENATE FACTIONS
MENACE PASSAGE
OF PACIFIC PACT
Underwood Informs Lodge
He Can Deliver Seventeen
Democratic Votes at This
Time

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Rati
fication of the four-power Pacific
pact by an extremely small margin
will be the result if the final vote
is taken soon by the senate, a care
full canvass today showed. The sit
uation, however, is so C.. - bal
anced that little would be required
to upset calculations.
Voting on reservations is expect
ed to start late next week.
The closeness of the vote, in fact,
was regarded in some quarters as
approaching a menace to this i'm
portant document to which the ad-
ministration attaches SO much i'm
portance.
The delicacy of the lineup, and
the elements upon which leaders are
reckoning in their. realization that
there are few votes to spare are
given herewith:
1. Unless some reservations, other
than the Brandegee one, are adopt.
ed, number of Democrats say they
will vote against the treaty. They
want, for instance, an amendment
providing against unprovoked at
tacks, and another specifically stat
ing that, under the treaty, the
United States shall enter no binding
agreements without congressional
consent.
2. Absence Of certain senators
leaves the scales tipped rather fine.
ly. Crow, Pennsylvania, protroaty
man, is ILL., Stanfield, Oregon, anoth
err supporter, is leaving for home
because Of urgent Sbusir there
and Tramme1l, Florida, whose posi-.
ton is in doubt, though he is now
rumored to be an anti, is away be-
cause of his wife's serious illness.
AS things stand today, the senate
forces can reckon on thirty votes
against the treaty. Thirty-three
votes would defeat it.
5. With the lineup so close, tbs
final showdown may depend on one
man. A Democrat, whose name is
withheld, has indicated ] e will vote
against ratification provided his vote
is needed to determine the result.
Under the circumstances, the ir,
reconcilables and Democrats are
talking of trying to close debate and
pushing for a vote.
On the other hand, the admins
tration group, knowing this and the
demand for reservations, is perfect
ly willing to let reservations be at
tached, though they are not saying
that for publication yet. Nor dc
they intend to yield without u fight
The point is, that they will back
down rather than suffer defeat mere
ly because of obstinacy on the res
ervation matter.
Senator Underwood has Informed
Mr.. Lodge that he can deliver at
this time seventeen Democratic
votes in support of the treaty.

Berlin Women Buried

Warrior Is Neglected
BY GEORGE WITTE

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, March 1O.-An old lady
was buried in the Hamburg mill.
tary cemetery today with all the
military honcrs due to a soldier re-
peatedly cited for exceptional brav-
cry. Meanwhile the soldier was
buried with all the simplicity befit-
ting the funeral of an aged woman
who had spent an uneventful life.
The two funerals were due to be
held at the same time and the grave
digger got the collins mixed so that
the dead woman was taken to the
soldiers grave. A minister preached
a sermon in which he recalled the
heroic deeds of the dead warrior,
and patriotic songs were sung by
the soldiers comrades. Then a. regi-
mental bugler blew taps and the
coffin was lowered into the grave.
Just then the grave digger, hav.
ing discovered his error, rushed up
and stopped the ceremony. The
woman's coffin was carried back to
the chapel, where simple service
was held, but the soldier was buried
without honors, as the preacher and
mourners had no time to go through
the ceremony a second time,

TREATMENT OF SEED
 POTATOES

CFarmers, better clip this out and save for later reference.)
 Potatoes used for seed pur- poses often harbor a number of serious diseases which can be largely controlled by careful treatment. The crop in Arl- zona is greatly damaged each season by Blackleg, Black Scurf or Rhizoctonia, Dry-Rot and Scab. All of these diseases are found upon or within the tubers, while patches of dirt or cracks in the skin often car rv the spores of the Early Blight disease.
 Seed treatment will mater ia1ly reduce the losses caused by these diseases, although it cannot be depended upon to entirely eliminate them. The corrosive sublimate or mercu- Tric-chloride solution is the most .dependable and has been found to be superior to the formalde- hyde solution formerly used. Great care should be used In preparing. and using the solut- ion in orer to obtain desirable results. :. Proceed as follows: CD Prepare 1-1OOO solution by mixing 4 ounces. of corrosive sublimate in 30 gallons of water. Powdered matera1 is preferred and can be secured from the local drug :. stores. Place this amount in a glass jar e quart fruit jar is suitable), and add warm water until com pletely dissolved. When dis solved dilute to 30 gallons.
 (2) Metal vessels or contain CTS are corroded by this solution and should not be used. Barrels, wooden tubs, are recommended Be certain that all vessels are as clean as possible, as dirt re- moves the corrosive subllmate from the solution.
 (3) Submerge the seed in the solution 1@ hours. Remove and drain, and allow to dry after which it may be cut. It is never advisab ble to treat the seed after the cutting has been done.
 (4) Use a fresh. solution after every third or fourth batch of seed is treated. This is es- pecially important as the strength of the solution. is rapid ly diminished by the potatoes, sacks, dirt, etc. Each bushel of seed treated in 30 gallons of I-1OOO solution reduces the strength approximately l per cent. In treating large quan- titles it is advisable to restore the original volume of the treat ing vat with a quantity of fresh solution after each batch is treated. (5) Corrosive sublimate is a deadly internal poison to man and animals, but is not injur- ious externally. A slight roughening of the skin is the only noticeable effect upon the hands. Treated potatoes are also dangerous and should not be used for food or fed to stock.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. II
CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS

School district number II, of which
Mrs. Bohanon is teacher had its Christ
mas celebration Friday, December 22.
Every citizen of the district was pres
ent, also two visitors, Mr.. Grant ano
Walter Ulman. There were songs
recitations and readings, large Xmas
tree light with candles and sparkling
with glittering ornaments.
Nuts, candies, cakes and splendid
lunch was served. The greatest event
Of the day was the happiness and good
fellowship shown. The childron's hap
py faces were wreathed in smiles and
their little hands and mouths were
full as they could hold with goodies.
Let US hope that the smiles Of good
fellowship, Merry Christmas happiness
and love thy neighbor spirit, have in
a great measure ironed out the lines
of sordid care which accumulate as
the months Of the year are filed on
the calendar of the past.
To the teacher much credit is due.
To the ladies of the district much
praise and thanks should be given and
those who assisted the teacher in the
necessary labor involved should not
be forgotten. Such fraternal neigh
borly meetings put the is in school
