hR- LANEY DISCUSSES SWEET POTATOES AND PIGS
 VERSUS COTTON
PROFIT IN SWEET POTATOES
The Meeting Was One Of The Series in The Cotton Reduction Cam paien. Should Consider
 Sweet Potato Crop.

Sweet potatoes and pigs vs. Cotton" was the subject of an address by w. H Laney, marketing agent of the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Arkan- sas, before Cleveland county farm CTS meeting, held here Friday under the auspices of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation of the Arkansas Sweet Potato Growers Exchange.
 This meeting was one of the series in the cotton reduction campaign. Cleveland county does not have a county agent, so Mir. Laney, whose principal work is with the sweet pc tato growers, had charge of the meet ing.
 In the plan for more food and feed and the reduction of the acreage in cotton, the farmer should seriously consider the growing of more sweet potatoes, in the opinion of MT. Laney. The sweet potato industry is growing rapidly in Arkansas and the problem Of marketing is being solved by the Arkansas Sweet Potato Growers Ex- change The chances of reaching a good market are less hazardous and the profit to the growers is greater, he says.
 In recent article written for the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation members, MT. Laney said:
 If every farmer in Arkansas who has suitable land would plant from one to three acres of sweet potatoes, store and cure the No. 1 potatoes for market and home use, leaving the others in the field to fatten from 2 to 15 hogs, he would have potatoes for his family, meat for his smoke house and two good money crops from the No 1 potatoes and his surplus hogs
 'The markets are glad to pay good price for our fancy grades and packs, but pay very poor prices for sweet potatoes of poor grade Our second grade potatoes go on the mar ket in competition with our No. Is. and reduce the quantity of No Is that the market will take, at the same time reducing the price which the market will pay for No. Is.
 Tn other words the No. 2 grade be- comes an expense on the No. 1 grade just as the dairyman's poor COW re- duces the profit made by the good COW. Poor grades of potatoes com pete with the No. i grade and reduce the profits to the grower.
 ''The dairymen and poultrymen cuil their herds and flocks to get rid of the unprofitable cows and hens and we should do the same with our sweet potatoes. There is no doubt that the market can take all the No I sweet potatoes Arkansas will grow if we eull out the low grades and market only the No. Is"

PLANS FOR VoTiNelNExT WEEK UNDER SUSPENDED RULES !

STATEMENTS ARE lSSuED
1t Is Apparent That An Effort To paa 4 Bonus Bill At This Time Would Be Futile Unless Financed
 By A Sales Tax.

Washington Republican leaden are confronted with the possibiiHy that they may be unable to bring abou a vote in the House on the cOmB0 mise soldier bonus bill under suspes sion of the rules next Monday. Speas er Gillette is in Florida with Presiden Harding and it has been impossible to ascertain what attitude he intends to take on the proposed motion to suspend the rules.
 With favorable report Of the meas ure by the Ways and Means Con mittee promised by Chairman Ford ney, they generally were agreed tbai the bill should be disposed of by the House early next week.
 Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee at a morning meeting decided to proceed with plans for a report of the measure at the meeting of the full committee to. morrow. despite objections by Secre tary Mellon and Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger.
 Other developments of the aay were the issuance Of statements by two members of the House-Repre sentative Treadway of Massachusetts a Republican member of the Ways and Means Committee, and Repre- sentative Hswes, Democrat Of Nils souri-both of whom expressed oppo sition to the bonus bill. and the an nouneement by Representative Frea of Wisconsin, Republican member c the Ways and Means Committee, tha he had written Secretary Mellon re plying to his letter to MT. Fordne, in which Mir Mellon declared the biI if enacted would involve n @dangel ous abuse Of government credit
 MT Treadway declared it "apparen that an effort to pass bonus hin s this time is futile unless financed b a sales tax" The people. he eonti, ued want less. rather than more ia, ation.

I LOYD GEORGE rcSigning the Brif- IL ish premiership doesn't fit in with American notions of the little Welsh wizard. But either he had it seri- ously in mind-of he ran q gorgeous bluff. Anyway, he served an ultima tum on the Tory leaders of the coa- lition party that unless he could be assured of loyal support and co-opera- ton he would resign. Whereupon all Britain buzzed like a disturbed bee hive. Sir Arthur Balf0ur was named everywhere as the probable successor. But the coalition chiefs got busy at once. Sir George Younger. the union ist "dle-hard" leader. was made to step back into the line; 1t was his speeches that had forced the issue. Other leaders publicly voiced their confidence in the premier. Balfour, as conservative leader, put the fin ishlng touch by declaring emphat- ically for q. continuance Of the coa- lition government and indorsing the leadership of Lloyd George who he declared was incomparably the great. est figure Of the greatest age in Brit ish history. So the crisis has appar eatly been passed-theugh possibly only for the present.
 Sir Arthur by the way, Is very muef ia the British public eye just now King George has bestowed upon him : knighthood of the order Of the Garter His achievements at the Washington arms conference are universally ac claimed as reeainins for Great Britain the world dominance lost during th' World war Anyhow, in declaring fo Lloyd George he bowed himself ou of the premiership.

STANDARDIZiNG LUMBER

In view of all the conditions a GER
tain amount of suspicion attaches to
national trade associations and their
facilities for combining to keep prices

associations for the elimination of
waste. Notwithstanding this fca-
ture there are others which should
encourage and which lead to the hope
that a practical gain may be secured.
The National Lumber Manufacture

MAKE A SENSIBLE SETTLE
MENT

| After wrangling for nearly forty
years over the Tacna- africa territory,
Chile and Peru have sent delegates
| to Washington on the invitation of
| President Harding and they are
meeting about the conference table in
the atmosphere created by the
/ Washington Conference, in a neutral
! city and aloof from the political at
mosphere at home.
| These provinces lost by Peru in
1879, have been termed the Alsace
and Lorraine of South America. Va
rious attempts at adjustment have
been made. Once agreement was
made to leave the settlement to a
plebiscite but later agreement could
not be had on the manner of holding
it. The tension at times was intense,
once so much so that diplomatic re-
lations between the two countries
were broken off.
Now that there is prospect of some
permanent disposition being made of
the disputed territory the need which
Bolivia has for a seaport of its own
comes to the front. She was allied
with Peru when Chile defeated them
in the wars, 1S79-S4 on account of
which Bolivia lost the coast province
of Atacama, with its valuable depos-
its of guano and nitrate. Today she
may only reach the sea with her
products-Bolivia is storehouse of
minorals-through either Chile or
Peru and is subject to all incon-
vcniencc and tax of such Il method.
This would seem an opportune time
to make a settlement In the relations
between these three countries so fair
and just that the menace of war
which has from the first lurked in
the complicated situation may be re-
moved once for all.
