BREAK LOOMS BETWEEN COOLIDGE AND WEEKS
AIR NITRATES WILL ENTER
 FIGHT FOR MUSCLE SHOALS

 War, because of a contract. sold Gorgas to the Alabama Power conn pany and it points with obvious pride to the fact that the contract re- quiring the government to sell the nitrate plants to the Air Nitrates' corporation was drawn by no other individual than Charles Evans Hughes, now Secretary of State, and a lawyer of recognized eminent abil- ity.
 Will Continue In Fight.
 The important factor in the new corporation will continue in the fight. That the contract was in ex- istence is an old story, and that Hughes drew 1t is an old story. IT. the previous session, the contention of the corporation was regarded as comparatively minor. It is a safe presumption that in the next session. the Congress will ignore it; that even those members who will fight the Ford offer will cite other than the contract as their reason. The situa- ton, however, may contain an ele- ment of embarrassment to Secretary Hughes. There is no denial of the fact that the secretary, while serv- ing as attorney for the corporation was sincere in declaring to his client his conviction that the contract was binding, but if legal authorities hold and state different conclusions, the fact that the secretary will suffer chagrin will not be regarded as vital or even important by Ford advocates, 1t is said.
 Should the corporation. however, conclude to go over the head of Con gresS and precipitate endless litira tion in seeking to acquire it's pound of flesh, the postponement of con- elusive action by the government would necessarily follow. It is re- garded as significant, however. that Ford advocates on the scene are not concerned by the initial propaganda of Ford opponents.

Prince Felix Youssoupoff, Who Aided In Rasputin
 Killing, Now In America

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-A tall. handsome young man, with genial temperament and aristocratic deli- cacy of manner, dressed in a wasp waisted suit of latest Parisian cut Prince Youssoupoff. only male scion of the Romanoffs ever to set foot on these shores-arrlved on the Beren- garia today.
 He smilingly admitted he had been a member of the party of Russian noblemen who, one snowy night late in December, 1916. slew Gregory Rasputin. monk confessor of the late csarina; he added that he came here to sell some ancient snuffboxes and visit few friends.
 Although readily admitting his participation, the prince was reluc- tant to describe the details of the staying of the man who was reputed to have risen from obscure origin to become the power behind the throne of the Russian empire through an almost hypnotic influence over the czarina.
 He would say only that he was one of the group who, supposedly i'm PC4lcU OS pdtTlOIlC ueSlTe 10 1lQ Russia of its evil genius, enticed Rasputin to the Youssoupoff palace in Petrograd. slew him and consigned his body to the icy waters of the Neva river.
 Follows Politics With Interest.
 Now the nobleman declared. he followed with interest the political developments in his homeland, but was not affiliated with any move ment to restore to power the Ro- manoff family, of which his wife, the Princess Irene, who arrived with him today, is a member.
 The Princess Irene. who is the daughter of Grand Duchess Xenia sister of the late Czar Nicholas, and hence blood relative of the ruling family of Great Britain, wore black furs and a chic turban which shaded pale, delicate featured face. Ac- companying her was the Baroness Wrangel, wife of the commander of the white armies. which tried unsuc- cessfully to overthrow the soviet power.
 Edward T. Barnes. assistant solic- itor of customs, roughly estimat ted the value of the princes jewels at s1,500,0 ,000. Jewels which belonged to Catherine the Great and some black pearl necklaces were regarded as the most valuable pieces.

'POTENTIA POWER SCION IF RUSSIA .OUR PROTECTION LANDS IN GOTHAM
Government Would Not Be Involved In Foreign Wars,
 Says Senator Underwood

ATLANTA, Nov. 23.-The United States is possessed with more poten. tai power than a-Y other nation and In using it's moral influence in the world affairs would not become in. volved in another war. Senator Un- derwood of Alabama declared today in an address criticising the republi- can administrations foreign policy.
 The adress of the Alabama senator, candidate for the democratic presi- dential nomination, was delivered be- fore the Georgia general assembly, now in extraordinary session.
 America is partly to blame for 3res- efft conditions in Europe because of the failure of the republican adminis- tration to use this countrys moral in- flueace in world affairs sinca the close of the World war
 Tt is a significant fact" Senator Underwood declared, that, during the past three years, for the first time since Franklin represented our gov ernment at Versailles, America has been almost without diplomatic rep resentation and influence in Euro pean affairs.
 Drifting Backward.
 With the close of the World war, unfortunately, our guiding influence was no longer felt in European af- fairs and since then foreign coun- tries, instead of moving forward in government for the people, have been drifting backward into autocracy."
 The present trend of governments toward autocracy, he declared, is a danger to the world and a danger to which we cannot close our eyes.
 When autocracy rules a greater part of the world, the democracy of America is at stake" the senator as- serted, and when democracy prevails in foreign countries, the democracy of America Is doubly assured.
 We now sit by and see this great est movement of the world toward autocracy without a protest from Washington" he said.
 Tt was not ~n accident when our colonies rose and defeated the great est military power on earth. Destiny shaped our forces in order tlat men in all the world might taste the cup of freedom. We can not now neglect the duty that destiny imposed upon us without bringing condemnation upon our heads"
 In speaking of conditions in this country, Senator Underwood urged a return to the "old fundamental" prin- ciples of democracy, with local self government letting the federal gov ernment function within its rights.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY Fl. G. seyforth.


Every farmer who is Interested IN
having his buildings clean and san
itary knows that whitewash is the
cheapest and best preparation that IS
obtainable for that purpose. White
wash is a good disinfectant, lightens
up dark places, sweetens the air in
cellars and easements, and can be
prepared and applied with a little
care by anyone. There are many
ways for preparing wlitcwash, but
the following give absolute satisfac-
ton when directions are followed.
Ordinary whitewash is made by
shaking about 10 pounds of quick
lime with gallons of water. The
lime is placed in a pail and the water
poured over it, after which the pail
is covered with an old piece OF carpet
or cloth and allowed to stand for
about an hour. After that the white
wash should be strained and then APP
piled while it is still warm. With an
insufficient amount of water, the
lime is "scorched" and not all of the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1923-10-11

lime goes into solution. Or the
other hand, too muck water retards
shaking by lowering the heat.
Uncle Sans whitewash is the
whitewash used to keep the light
houses and coast guara stations IN
sl*c and span shape. Many Wiscon-
sin dairymcn who have been looking
for a good whitewash will be interest
ed to know low Uncle Sam keeps his
property looking so white. His
whitewash formula is probably one of
the best. It is much whittier than
most mixtures and is alnnoss as SER
viceable as paint for wood, brick and
stone. A pint of this wash when ap.
piled properly will cover about ten
square feet of surface. Here is the
formula: "Slake half a bushel OF
unslaked lime with boiling water,
cover during presses to keep in steam,
strain the liquid thru 4 fine sieve or
strainer, and add to it z pounds OF
salt, previously dissolved in warm
water, three pounds of ground rice
boiled to thin paste and stirred in
while hot, half a pound OF Spanish
whiting, and one pound of clear glue.
