Fourteen years ago. Alfred Wilson

"A year ago I had an interesting ex-
perience with winter pigs. These pigs
were narrowed October ~ and sold
them on May & They averaged 100
pounds apiece. Ny neighbor has raised
winter pigs which averaged rs
pounds at seven months. and con-
slider that a pretty good record for any |
country.
"The Gallatin valley Is good for
many things besides hog-raislng. In
my opiHion, It is the greatest valley on

all other crops do well.

$21 600, which was a gross income Of

have received was q bushels to the

Peas bring good price and are one
Of my most profitable crops, returning
a gross income OF about $50 per acre.
my blue barley averages from 30 70

pretty good crop. I get about three
tons Of alfalfa to the acre and about
two tons and a half OF timothy and
llsike. Medium red clover yields about
.hree tons 10 the first cutting and
ION and a half at the second. From
3 acres had 26 stacks In one cutting
IN 1912. Each stack averaged about 10
tons. The yield OF oats with me has
averaged all the way from 30 to 125
bushels per acre"
Mr.. Wilson first worked on a ranch
n the Gallatin valley for $40 per
month. Then he rented farm for
even years, IN partnership with his q
brother. During that time he made
$4,000. Part OF the time his profits
we're as high as 500 per day. He

FRANCE WANTS
BEST TERMS
ON LOAN
American Debt Funding Conn
mission May Allow Her
80 Years to Repay
BY H. X. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.

Frances willingness to pay the
United States the $4,000, 0OO, 900 she
borrowed during the war and her
desire to renew negotiations toward
this end was considered by the
American debt funding commission
today in the first meeting it has
held in months.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
made a complete report to the COM
mission on the iE-rormal exchanges
that have already taken place be-
tween himself and the French am
bassador.
The French government has not
yet placed definite proposal Of
terms before the commission, but
on the other hand has indicated
that it would rather hear from this
Government as to the best possible
terms on which the loan can be
funded
One suggestion has been adj
vanced that the debt be funded over
a period Of eighty years at very
low rate Of interest and it was con-
sidered not improbable after today's
session that the settlement, if nego-
tiated, will not pc far removed
from this proposal.
Such settlement with France,
however, might compllcate the
British funding agreement, which
was spread over sixty.two years.
Great Britain served notice at the
time of funding that if more adj
vantageous terms were accorded
other debtor nations, the British
government would have TO take
such fact into account
A brief formal statement issued
after the meetings told but little
OF the informal negotiations already
under way. 1t simply said:
The commission considered the
result OF certain informal Discus
eions which have been held between
the French ambassador and TIE
chairman Secretary Mellon
While there was no definite
proposition before the commission
for the funding Of the debt, it APP
peared that the French government
is DESTROYS of attempting to reach
some terms which might prove
mutually satisfactory. 1t is ex.
pected that the general discussions
will be continued"
Jusserand, who retires as am.
bassador and sails for France
on January s, will hold several
conferences with Mellon between
now and his departure. When he
sails, it is expected he will have
in his possession a fairly definite
proposal to lay before the Herriot
ministry.

Although next Monday IL set

was indicated when Congress as

II Is probable that the commtftea
VIII agree to bring up on the floor
the bitterly contested Fitzgerald
Workmen's compensation bill for
the District. This measure was
voted priority at the close Of the
last session. 1t is almost certain
that 1t will arouse the most heated
controversy on the floor and its
opponents declare that at least two
and probably three legislative DAYS

taking up nearly half OF the Dis.
trlcts scheduled time on the floor
even though all District days are

Texas improvements.

I Edwin S. Brandt, chief clerk of
the Bureau of Ordnance of the
Navy Department, is being con-
graduated today by officials and
employees of the department on hav.
ing completed fifty years of service
with the Government.
Mr.. Brandt was greeted by the
bureau personnel at an assembly
today at which Admiral Bloch, chief
of the bureau, acted as spokesman.
Entering the Government service
in 1874 as student engraver in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
Mr.. Brandt began his long term Of
service which. shifted in 1882 to
the Bureau Of Ordnance, in which
he served as chief clerk since 1893.
From 1876 to 1882, he served in the
Bureau of Ordnance at the Navy
Yard.

Has Fine Record.
Perry sees the inconvenience, to
say nothing of the danger, of the
left-hand turn illustrated every day
at his corner. His comment comes
from his long experience directing
traffic at one of Washington s
worst corners with the singular rec
ord of having no real accident dur
ing all that time.
1T is safe to say that the cause
of fully rs per cent of the acct
dents at intersections is the left
hand turn declared Perry today
as he continually unscrambled traf-
fic at one of the Capitals queerest
crossings with deftness that comes
with experience.
/ would like to see the left-hand
turn done away with altogether
especially at a corner like my own.
Nearly all the traffic congestion is
caused by automobiles making a left
hand turn. To make it, car must
stop in such way as to slow up
traffic behind it, and until the car
waiting to complete the left-hand
turn moves in the cross direction
traffic goinaA in that direction is
slowed up I'd gets off to- slow
start"
Sign is Confusing.
Perry pointed out that the diff.
Guilty at a corner like Fourteenth
and Fl streets is that street car traf-
fic coming out of the one street can
not absolutely follow the signal at
the same time. Street cars coming
up Fourteenth street for instance,
cannot follow the Go signal. For

them the stop signal to Fourteenth
street traffic in reality means to
move on into Fl street.
Every intersection has it's pecu-
harities, in Perry's opinion. What
may aid in moving traffic well at
one will not apply at another, he
believes. This point must not be
overlooked, he said, in instituting a
block or boulevard system.
The fact that many drivers and
the majority of pedestrians do not
watch the crossing officers signals
accounts for the greater part Of
traffic troubles, said Perry. His
experience has revealed that there
are some drivers who actually can
not read the senaphore signal

MOOTY-LACY WEDDING IN ROANOKE

A wedding of far reaching interest was solcmnized in Roanoke on Wednes- day the twenty-sixth at high noon, when Miss Irma Mooty and MT. John Lacy became husband and wife. This wedding was a quiet, but beau tiful affair, taking place in the pretty bungalow home of the brides parents. The houee was artistic, indeed, with the daintiest of all color schemes, green and white.
 The living room and dining room were thrown together, giving ample space for the families of the bride and groom and the close friends invited to witness this happy event. The | chandeliers were draped with softest folds of white maline with just enough green to give the most artistic effect. A pyramid of graceful ferns with floor baskets and other recptacles of beau tiful white chrysanthemums formed the background for the bridal party The rooms were further decorated with baskets of large white roses and bowls of fragrant narcissuses and were lighted by the soft glow of white candles.

expression of ste:n feeling, replied with emphasis: No, sir; could not regret it. Twice he crossed my path. He brought it on himself.'
 While writing of the great Hamilton it is interesting to recall that one of General Schuyler's daughters was the wife of Alexander Hamilton, while an- other daughter married John Barker Church. It is a matter of record that John Barker Church fought duel with Alexander Hamilton, taking off but ton from Hamilton's coat. Justice be- ing satisfied, ;he h, thers-in-law became great friends and Hamilton named a son for him and made him one of the executors of his will. Indeed, John Barker Church lent Hamilton his duel ing pistols for the [at,.l encounter with Burr when Hamilton lost his life. The pistols are still in the possession of the family.
 Hamilton's funeral took place from the residence of his brother-in-law. This MT. Church was an Englishman. as was also John Dalafield, with whom he formed a partnership as underwriters. They met with great losses when France seized our ships, and suits for these losses are still pending. Miss Mary Trumbull Morse, a member of the Danes, traces her ancestry back to the Church family. John Church, Hamil- tons daughter, Mrs. Peabody, and the Misses Hamilton, granddaughters of Alexander Hamilton, were members of the Danes.
