]. S. FIXES POLICY
ON ALL WAR DEBTS
British Terms Of 81 Years
Made Basis of Settlement
With Others.

The American Debt Funding Com.
mission yesterday laid down the
policy it will pursue in the settle
ment of all foreign debts due this
Government. That policy is to
apply to all the same terms granted
to Great Britain in the adjustment
OF it's $4,000 Zoo, 900 obligation.
The commission yesterday entered
into an agreement with Leonard
Astrom, the Finnish minister, for
Finland to liquidate. its debt of
$9,O00,0 900 in identically the same
manner that Great Britain will set
tie. Payments will be distributed in
annual installments over a period
OF sixty-two years, with interest
for the first ten years of 3 per
cent and az per cent for the re-
naming fifty-two years.
Minister Astrom last night cabled
this proposal to his home office,
where 1t will be Immediately laid
before the Finnish Parliament.
The Finnish debt slightly exceeds
$4,000, 900.
Finland's debt, unlike those Of the
majority OF European nations, is not
for war munitions. It is for food
purchased after the war in 1918,
from the United States Grain Corpo-
ration. And unlike her European
neighbors, Finland has paid the big
end Of what she contracted.
In addition to reaching an agree
ment on the Finnish debt the Ameri.
can Commission approved the form
of contract to be entered into with
Great Britain in settlement of her
account. AS soon as it is approved
by the British home office 1t viii be
signed and executed.

SPENDS
DAY At PALM BEACH
Pioneer Energies From Indian
River Country for First
Time in Week.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
international News Service.

PALM BEACH, March TO-
Drowned by the sun and looking
filter than he has in months, Presi'
dent Harding emerged today from
the jungles of the Indian river
country which have enveloped him
for a week, and spent tonight IN
Palm Beach.
It is the first time since the
President began his cruise down
the waters of the east coast that
the houseboat Pioneer has tied up
at night within sight and SOUND
of the lights and music OF q gay
winter resort.
The President reached Palm
Beach late this Afternoon. Although
the Pioneer arrived in sight OF the
resort shortly before noon, 1t was
after 8 o'clock before she could
be warped into the dock in front
of the Royal Poinciana. Low tide
and channel difficulties compelled q
snail-like pace for hours.
The Presidents decision to stop
atPalm Beach was sudden. Plans
had Nbeen made for a golf match
at Hobo Sound this morning, but
these were Cancelled at the last
moment, and only a brief stop was
made there. The daily eighteen
holes were played instead at the
Everglades Club here late this after
noon.
Although in the midst of Palm
Beach gayety, the President did
not break the isolation here that
has marked his sojourn in the
South. He went directly from the
houseboat to the golf links and
returned to the boat Immediately
after the game, which was played
with his usual partners, A, w.
Dawes, A. D. Lasker and e. B.
Mclean. The night was spent
ward journey will be resumed to-
morrow after Mr.. and Mrs. Hard
ing have attended church here in
the forenoon. Barring mishaps,
which thus far have been avoided,
the Pioneer should reach Miami
and the end of the voyage by
Tuesday.
Mrs. Harding also observed here
that strict seclusion which her
physicians have insisted upon since
her illness.
The President had no comment
to make tonight on the New York
speech Of Senator Hiram Johnson
Republican. Fof California, in which
he denounced the proposition ad-
vanced by President Harding and
Secretary Of State Hughes for put
ting the United States into the
international court of justice at
The Hague. Senator Johnson's de-
nunciation of the proposal was
generally interpreted by members
of the party here as indicating
wall Of "irreconcilable" opposition
to the Presidents plan in the new
Congress.

courage, in q land where the
words "beer" and "life" mean
about the same to a majority
of the people.
Lady Astor starts her cam
paign intelligently with the rea-
sonable suggestion that no alco-
holic drink be sold to boys or
girls under eighteen. 1t is hard
to object to that, and her bill
passed second reading by 338
to Sc votes. However, the bill
won't become law for the pres
emit. Englishmen, not as easily
managed as Americans, not as
"docile," as Northcliffe puts it,
feel that they have trouble
enough paying their taxes with
out drinking pure water.
DoINCARE, dictator Of
L French policy, who has
wagered his political future on
the possibility of collecting
reparations by force, believes
that Germany is about to yield.
But there is great power in
passive resistance, and Poincare
may wait for some time.
MEANWHILE, German finance
W1 has begun an ingenious
attack on French credit and the
value of the franc. 1t is shown
that France owes four hundred
thousand million francs, eighty
times the sum that Bismarck
took from France after the war
of 1870. France can never pay,
according to the circulars that
German bankers are distributing
in Europe. Consequently, &C
cording to the German cam
paign, France is actually bank
rupt.
WHAT the facts are neither
w German bankers nor any
body else knows.
France has wonderful re-
sources, not in gold, but in the
skill, courage, artistic ability
and energy of her people.
France owes only a little over
ten thousand francs, about
$500, for each inhabitant of
France.
Any Frenchman would be a
bargain at ten times that price
if you could get the full value
of his work and intelligence.
And ,Frenchmen, as patriotic as
any people on earth, give full
value to their country.

Sense and Nonsense
Feeding Farm Hands.

Senator Curtis of Kansas tells a
good story about an occurrence
on big wheat ranch in his state.
A sister of the farmers wife came
from Boston to spend a few weeks.
She was decidedly superior and
bossy. She insisted that the
farm sister was out of style and
needed some new clothes, accord
ingly she packed her off to St.
Louis on a shopping tour, explain
ing that she would run the house
hold during her absengce. The
next day gang of husky thresh-
ers appeared upon the scene.
They worked like beavers all day
long. AT 700 o'clock that even
ing the II of them marched into
the dining room as hungry as
wolves. One big fellow remarked
that he was so blamed hungry that
he could eat a stewed muel. They
expected thick soup, big platters
of beef, fried ham, baked beans,
fried potatoes, jams, jellies, home
made bread, chocolate layer cake,
and numerous other articles of sat
isfying grub.
Imagine their disgust-and Ian
guage-when they found at each
place a pale, crustless sandwich
tied with dinky blue ribbon, a
chicken croquette, just large
enough to be gulped down in half
a swallow, and a cheese ball about
the size of a sparrow's egg, In
suit was added to injury by serv.
ing coffee in little half-grown cup
which she called demi-tasse. She
had given them to her sister for a
wedding present, and was peeved
because they had not been in con
Istant use.

Nothing to Grow About.

A mother told her young son
that if he did not stop swearing
she would have to send him away
that no little boy who used Ian
guage like his could stay at her
house.
The little boy did not like this
idea at all and by truly Herculean
efforts succeeded in restraining
his tongue for at least half an
hour; but, at last, the inevitable
happened-that "unruly member
eluded his grasp. and he swore.
Immediately his mother packed
his little suit case, and started
him out, watching him, though he
did not know it.
He went out through the back
gate and a short way down the al
ley, where he sat down on his suit
case and began crying to himself.

Fertilizing the Garden.

Every family should have a
home garden, This garden may be
large or small, but it should be Of
a size sufficiently large to meet the
needs Of the family. From the
farming standpoint, the garden
represents a piece Of ground that
is under very intensive cultiva,
ton. There must be sufficient
amount Of plant food and it must
be readily available. This means
that it will pay to give it good
fertilization and good tillage. For
the home garden only the best of
manure, free from straw and weed
seeds, should be used and the adj
dition of some good commercial
fertilizer to reinforce that manure
can well be made.
This article was prepared by
Leonard Hegnauer, extension spec
ialist in soils and crops, especially
for gardening under west side con
ditions in this state,
In sections where the rainfall
is sufficient for good cropping, it
is comparatively easy to keep the
garden in good condition for
heavy production. On the other
hand where the rainfall is excess
sive, it will be necessary to select
carefully the location for the
garden. Select a place where the
drainage is good; SO that water
will not stand on or near the sur
face of the ground, for more than
two or three days at time and
less if possible. Water soaked
soil hinders bacterial action; is
cold and hard to keep in good
physical condition.
Manure should be applied at a
rate Of ten to twelve loads to the
acre and uniformly distributed.

GROWING WHAT YOU EAT
Prepared by Extension Service State College of Washington

Two hundred pounds Of super
phosphate or steamed bone meal
might well be mixed with the
above amount Of manure and APP
piled with it.
AS soon as the ground is dry
enough to work well, it should be
thoroughly disked and later pillow,
ed. The disking mixes the fertil.
lizers with the soil and helps to
make better seed bed. If the
garden is small to pillow, mix the
fertilizer by shallow spading and
later spade deeper. The ground
must be in fit condition to work,
otherwise more damage than good
Twill be done by this operation,
On deep soil, the garden should be
Iplowed or spadcd to the depth OF
eight or ten inches. On shallower
ground, the depth of blowing must
be proportionately less. The depth
should be sufficient to permit
deep rooted vegetables to develop
naturally. The ground should be
worked down to fine mellow seed
bed, with the under portion fairly
compact. 1t should be in such
a state of cultivation that there
will be no air pockets and no
clods.
When garden crops have just
started so to IS pounds of nitrate
of soda may be applied between
the rows and Incorporated with
the soil through cultivation. A
second application of an equal
amount may be made when the
crops are about half grown. In
adding readily soluble fertilizer
like nitrate of soda. care must be
taken not to get the material on
the ground too heavily nor in con
tact with the leaves as it tends to
burn the plants.
