County Agent Shows Advantages OF
Work on HiIly Land Before Fer

Terracing of hillside land is being
urged by A. #. Houston Grady
county farm demonstration agent.
There are many acres of land in
this county that could be placed in
excellent condition for farming by
use of the terracing machinery, he
declares. In written statement,
Mr.. Houston says:
Il would interest all farmers hav-
ing hill land in terracing. Surely it
is crime for our farmers here in
this new section to go on in hap
hazard way trying to cultivate hill
land permitting the fertility to wash
away at an enormous pace. That was
done in the eastern states, and the

help hold it.
"When poverty drove them to it
the people Of the eastern states
found it profitable to terrace their
nillsides and then apply the fertil.

growing of legumes. Some hill land

successful in this section than i

NOHittu ittsb 5tuih AoituSPouuuury
Washington, Jan. 3. - Congress-
wound up It's Christmas holiday to.
day and dug into the huge pile Of
legislation awaiting action.
From the fall of the gavel at noon
until the regular session ends-party
leaders hope In June--both houses
will be kept grinding on the legisla.
tive grist. Both houses, however.
adjourned after the opening because
of the death of Senator Boise Pen.
rose.
With the treaties coming out of
the arms conference, the Newberry
case. the refunding of he sl1,000.-
100000 foreign debt, and the tariff
coming before the senate, the coun-
try may witness four spectacular
fights over these contested issues.
The soldier bonus Is certain to
start hot fight in the house. Lead
ers for the ex-service men In con-
gress are prepared to agitate the
question until bonus is voted. The
proposal to raise the necessary funds
from a tax on legalized beer and
wine has stirred the drys, who will
fight It to the last ditch.
The house will Immediately start
to work on the main job Of congress-
-appropriating s3.5O0OO0, 900 to pay
the government's bill for the next
fiscal year. Chairman Madden pre-
diets that the appropriations COM
mittee, operating under the new
budget system. will have the treasury
department bill ready by January 6.
One of the bitterest congressional
fights in years will begin Friday
when the senate begins final con-
sideration OF the right OF Senator
Newberry Of Michigan to sit in that
body. Debate will be limited to one
hour for each senator beginning next
Monday and final vote is expected
by the middle OF the week.
Features of the fight will be the
move of the democrats and progress
sive republicans to force Newberry
10 defend himself either before the
committee or the senate. Senator's
Borah and LaFollette, who led the
fight to oust Senator Lorimer, are
preparing to assail Newberry.
On January II, the senate has
agreed to vote on the Kenyon bill
to put "a dirt farmer" on the federal
reserve board, demanded by the agri-
cultural bloc.
Opposition to the four.power Paci-
fic treaty is daily gaining strength
in the senate. A storm that may last
Tor months, rivaling the fight over
the Versailles pact, is due to break
when the president submits the
treaty.
When the foreign debt bill will
come before the senate, depends
upon the settlement OF differences
between the senate and Secretary
Mellon over the provisions Of the
bill
The long delayed tariff bill is no,
expected to reach the senate flooi
until late in February. Meanwhile
the finance committee will wrestle
over the modified American valua
tion plan suggested by Presiden
Harding.
Several important investigations
including the Watson charges o
illegal execution Of soldiers and th'
:, dye lobby, will be resumed.

APPOINTMENT IS
SEEN IN HEALTH
LOCAL. CHILDREN
81 Undernourished School Children
Given Milk Diet for Month;
Gains Shown in Weight;
Work is Better.

The health of the "a pupils who
are members of the north ward school
nutrition class has been greatly inn
proved as a result of instruction
given them, according to Mrs. Net
tie r. Coryell, county home demon
stration agent and supervisor of the
class.
The 81 children were weighed yes
terday and every one had gained
from one to- seven pounds. Their
teachers reported that they had been
doing better school work and their
general physical condition was much
improved, Mrs. Coryell reported to-
day.
Milk, supplied by the Grady coun-
ty chapter of the American Red
Cross, is being given the children
in the endeavor to upbuild their
health. Each member of the class
consumes one pint of milk every
school day. The food is distributed
in one half pints, one bottle being
given each student during the morn
ing recess and another during the
afternoon recess. This plan was
launched one month ago.
Every pupil in the school was ex
amined several months ago. Those
found to be under weight or undel
nourished were enrolled in the nutri
ticn class and given special instruc
tion along the lines of health i'm
provement.

AS JAP-BRITISH PACT
Japs Declare Must Guard Against
Spread Of BoIshevism; VIII
Withdraw soon as Stable
Government Fixed.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The Ameri-
can government will demand that
Japan evacuate Siberia. when the
question of the future status OF 81
boria Is taken up by the arms con-
ference IL was learned from Off
cials today.
The opposition of the United
States to the continued military oc.
cupatlon Of Siberia by Japan, Is
much the same as was the opposi-
tion of this government to the An.
gloJapanese pact. II was learned.
The opposition to the Japanese
occupation Of the country in ques-
ton has never been expressed open
ly, but there have been interchanges
of notes between the two govern
ments.
The japanese position in defense
OF her troops remaining in siberia
Is that Japan must guard against
the spread of Bolshevism and that
Japan will withdraw her military
forces from Siberia as soon as there
is a stable government established
there.
Final details of the naval limita-
tions agreement, which will be incor-
foI 10, ftsaa fu nc
expected to be in shape by the end
Of the week and the text of the
treaty laid before plenary session.
The committe of fifteen, comprising
experts from all five of the big
naval powers, gave up their holiday
in the hope OF furthering this plan.
Expectations Of cleaning up the
naval program by the. end of the
week, however, contemplate a possi-
Bile disagreement on the Root pro-
posal to prohibit submarine opera
tions against merchant ships. The in
dications are that this phase of the
naval program will have to go over
to future conference unless Elihu
Root adopts different course from
that of last week. when he declined
to even consider a suggestion that
the definition of a merchant ship.
under international law, should be
cleared up before his schemes were
adopted.
The French delegation, which
along with the Japanese and Ital-
ians, has insisted upon the confer
ence satisfactorily disposing of the
merchant ship definition before plac.
ing an absolute prohibition on sub
marine activities against them, has
not completed it's exchange of com
munications with the French govern
ment. Paris already has ordered in
quiries as to whether the conference
will consider this phase Of the prob
lem.
Baron Kato, head Of the Japanese
delegation, on two occasions has
plainly indicated that his govern
ment believes the definition of 9
merchant ship and the companion
question of arming merchant ships
should be taken up and settled.
In the absence of definite instruc
tions fromT Paris for the French
delegation, it was not certain
whether there would be meeting
Tuesday or the committee on nava
armaments. If the French get thei
orders in time. meeting will b.
called.

Princeton Alumni Aroused by
Yale.Harvard's Denial Of
Need for Housecle aning
MAY PROTEST ATHLETES

New York. May 2.--Stung by the
Yale. Harvard statement that no ath-
letic house cleaning is necessary at
those universities, Princeton University
authorities plan to protest certain New
Haven and Cambridge baseball cracks
unless they are withdrawn prior to the
forthcoming games and to insist that
Yale and Harvard shall in good faith
fulfill, as has Princeton, the specific
terms Of the tri.university agreement,
governing ineligiblcs. says the New
York American today.
A rupture in the triple alliance is
| threatened unless Yale and Harvard
rigidly enforce such rules as recently
cost Princeton the captains of her base
ball and football teams.
1t was learned that a member Of the
Princeton Athletic Council conferred
with influential graduates at the Prince
ton Club in this city the last week end.
These graduates. alarmed by the
barring by Princeton herself Of Captain
MacNamara. of her baseball squad. and
Captain Gilroy. Of her football team.
which defeated Harvard last fall. asked
the athletic council representative IL
Inle and Harvard had complied with
the compact for clearing out ineligiblcs.
The athletic council member replied I:
Yale and Harvard have informed US
that no house cleaning is necessary nt
either of those universities. 1t may be
necessary to protest some Of the baseball
and football stars to force them to COM
ply with the rules as faithfully as has
Princeton.
The American quotes the Princeton
Athletic Council member as saying that
Princeton has evidence Of the ineligi-
bility of several prominent athletes at
Yale and Harvard.

nous player at Harvard who is said
to derive his entire income from calls

put the ban on her best athletes in con-

ment. She did it voluntarily. Let Yale
and Harvard follow her example.
II may add that Harvard has for
three years secretly schemcd to cease
athletic relations with Prlnceton--and
return to the dual league with Yale
Had Harvard defeated Princeton at
football in 1920. she intended quitting
football and other games with Prince
