PARIS, Jan 3.-Premier A. Bonar Law, in the first direct statement on reparations since he headed the British government. was made here today.
 Premier Law said:
 You can get certain amounts of money by taking immediate possess sion of Germany but you can't take oyre Germany and re-establish her financial stability.
 This is not a political but busi- ness question:"
 The British Premier expressed his desire to cooperate with France but feared public opinion of the two countries would prevent 1t.
 Plans of British.
 Several days ago information was received here that the Prime Min- ister of Great Britain would bring to the Paris Conference of Premiers a complete plan upon which the British Cabinet passed judgment in the hope of obtaining French agreement for final settlement of the separations problem.
 This information came in a des- patch from London as foliows:

STOCKHOLM. Jan. 3-"The sun can keep on shining at the present rate for another S6,000 900. 900 years. and f human culture is to perish it will not be for lack of sunshine" ]" This startling and whimscal state ment was made in the course of a recent lecture by Dr. Svante Arrhe- nius. the Swedish authority on astroDhysics. in which he explained certain theories and discoveries re- gardng solar conditions
 Suppose the sun were mass of coal said Dr. Arrhenius in order to illustrate his problem. Giving forth heat energy at the present rate, 1t would then have lasted only 1000 years. or about as long as the period of known human history But since there were living things of some kind on earth at least 1000, 900 900 years ago, and since there has evi- dently been very little deterioration of the sun during that period of time. any theory Of the expenditure Of solar energy must provide for up- wards of one hundred billion years ''

After this stage has been passed. the radioac- tive clements again resolve them selves into unstable clements and produce helium. This chemical pro cess, going on in cycles, accounts for the lavish production of light and heat by the sun.
 What becomes Of dead suns and stars? Dr. Arrhenius replied to this question that celestial bodies which have burned out may flame up again in case they happen to wander into nebulous regions where condensa- tion and production of heat again takes place. Thus he explained the discoveries of new stars which are frequently announced by astrono- mcrs.

WALLACE SEES BETTER TIMES
 FOR FARMERS
Agricultural Prospects for| Present Year Given
 1922 Is Reviewed.

WASHINGTON. Jan 3.-Better times for the farmers of the country are foreseen for 1923 by Secretary Wallace, who. in ! statement today, reviewed agricultural conditions of 1922 and set forth the prospects for the new year. In his statement, Mir Wallace said:
 Twelve months ago most of the six million farmers of the United States were starting on the long hard climb out of the valley of economic depression. They have not yet al tained the heights which are bathad in the grateful sunshine of prosper ity. Some. indeed, have fallen by the way Others are still in the val ley. Nevertheless, as we stop a bit and look backward We can see that very considerable ground has bean gained by the great majority and we can enter the New Year with re newed hope and with that courage which comes from the realization that We are really making progress.
 "A year ago, when speaking of the prospects for farming in 1922, l said that while there was no reason expect boom times for the farmer in the near future, there was promisa 2 of better times, both for the farmer and for those whose business k largely dependent upon him. The year has brought fulfillment of that promise. Speaking generally, timss are better. much better, than year ago. both for agriculture and for in. dustry.
 Crops Good on Whole
 Crops have been good, on tha whole. Prices of the major crops are mostly considerably higher. While there has been a corresponding ad vance in the prices of the things the farmer must buy. the total sum which farmers will receive for the crops of this year Is greater by q billion and half dollars or more than that which they received for the crops of last year. This will certainly mean better times on the farm. and farm folks will be able tn ease up a little on the grinding ecot omy they were forced to practice the preceding year.
 ''The labor cost of producing inc crops of 1922 was still further re- duced. There were some substantial reductions in freight rates. Much helpful legislation has been enacted and more will be this winter In-
