CHERRIES NATIVE
 ID FRENCH SOIL
Seedlings Brought to America by
 First Jesuit Priests

Chicago, March 7.-The romance of the cherry pie from its immigra- ton from France to dining table in this country, has just been traced by the research department of the na- tional association of farm equipment manufacturers.
 Historically and geographically the cherry has left its mark on the face Of America" sa S a bulletin just out. Jesuit priests broughts pits from the cherry growing districts of France and grew seedlings where they es- tablished headquarters along the Great Lakes and the Mississippi river during their early explorations in the six teenth century.
 The towns and cities named Salem In Ohio, Indiana. Iowa and Oregon mark the trail of the propagation of the great cherry business that has been built up in Oregon. The covered wagon of the Oregon trail not only carried the blow but seeding cherry trees that somehow withstood the months of heat and joltings until transplanted at the end of the historic journey.
 "The cherry pie that daily wedges its juicy path into the luncheons of millions of city workers is the cul- imitation of pioneering, intensive cul- tivation. battling bugs with sprays, picking by colorful bands of 'fiivver eypsies," and finally freezing of the

Coyotes Exterminated on
 Great Salt Lake Island

Salt Lake City, March 7.---Govern- ment predatory animal hunters, after two years hard work with traps and poisop have successfully eSterminat- ed every coyote on Antelope Island in Great Salt Lake and now sheep, cat. tie and buffalo herds may roam about without danger, according 10 official announcement.
 Antelope Island, which is II miles long and seven miles wide, rises like a jewel in Utahs Dead Sea-" With all the coyotes gone it is a virtual paradise for the stockmen and 1t is considered highly improbable that any of the animals will get to the is- land from the mainland.
 Tho buffalo herd on the island is one of the last on the continent. The animals belong to a private corpora ton and are occasionally used in con- nection with motion picture enter prises and frequently hunters, by pay ing a stipulated sum of money, are allowed to slay one of the "Monarchs of the Plains"

SCORES SCHOOL TEACHERS
 AS SHY AND RETIRING
Orlecs Them to Buck Up and be Arrogant as They Are Most I'm
 portant People.

London, March 7.--Schoolmasters shy and retiring souls that they are, V ought to buck up and be arrogant and aggressive and take hold of the world, for they are the most import ant people in the whole civilized com- munity, says H. G. Wells.
 When Mir. Wells delivered himself of these opinions, in an address to the annual meeting of the Incorporated Secondary Schools, some of the as- sembled teachers applauded and oth- CTS laughed.
 But Mir. Wells did not laugh. "l want to teach shamelessness to school teachers" he said. 'I want to teach them arrogance and aggression. Arrogance and the disposition to take hold of the world is not character istic of all school masters. A lot of them seem to be unconscious of the amount and range of their functions. They don't seem to realize that the world is not a going concern, but a finished affair In which they have a very subordinate and supplementary rart. They are shy and specialized people who keep together even on their holidays
 Then Mir. Wells turned his thoughts to this "new and better world," this reconstructed human life" that "high minded people" talk so much about these days. He said that when the reconstructed human life exists, school teachers will bs the very soul and center of it. Only by and through teachers. heroic teachers, he said, would 1t be possible to conceive Of any escape from the dlstressful and unsatisfactory life that mankind lives today" 4.

COAST OF CALIFORNIA
 BEING WELL SEARCHED
Secretiyely but Systematic Hunts for Pirate Treasure Reported Along the Monterey Peninsula.

l Del Monte, Cal. March 7.-Secre- tive but systematic hunts for buried treasure along the Monterey peninsu- la, on the Pacific coast, are reported 1 here.
 According to Monterey legend, Car mel Bay and Saltwater Cove were favorite haunts of smugglers and 1 pirates in the old days before Monte rey became q Spanish settlement. The remains of an old Spanish galleon, believed to have been taken as a
 prize in the days when Sir Francis Drake's ships secured the seas, has been found in Saltwater Cove. Old residents of Monterey have innumer-
 able relics Of the days when sea TO- vers put into Carmel Bay for shelter and fresh water. Iron rings and frag- ments of chain have been found on rocks now submerged. and, inland, there are many strange marks carved
 on trees. Arrows and crosses cut in
 the trees Of a deserted Indian village above Pebble Beach support the tra- dition that this once was the retreat
 of pirates.
 Gouyeneur Morris, the author, who lives in the town of Monterey, is one of those who believe that somewhere on the peninsula treasure is buried.
 One of his prized possessions is a
 great iron key of ancient Spanish
 make which he picked up on the shoreward edge of Pebble Beach golf course. He believes that this was the
 key to an old treasure chest, and he
 has spent many hours prowling about the rocky shore looking for the chest.
 There is some talk at Pebble Beach
 of organizing a company of property
 owners 10 institute a scientific, hunt
 for treasure. Several residents of the
 fashionable Pebble Beach colony,
 however, have employer guards 10 protect their properties from the dep
 relations of the free-lance treasure
 seekers. They are more interested In saving their grounds and trees than m the possibility of locating the sup posed buried treasure.

fruit in crates in cold storage until the pie maker calls for the filler for his daily baking. Until the cold storage houses began the freezing process for cherries. all cherry pies, except at harvest time, came from the can.
 Door County, Wisconsin, is the greatest producer of pie cherries, though Michigan also supplies a big share. In these sections the growers have put their orchards on a business basis, tractor-drawn tillage and spray ing equipment being employed to give No. bright. red, juicy cherry that will be entirely free from the ravages of insect enemies"

SENATE TAKES Up
CHURCH|LL'S TALK
Reed Declares America Can
not Tolerate English
Interference.

The subject of foreign debts was
brought up on the floor of the Senate
| today by Senator Reed, Democrat,
Missouri, who said he would call the
attention particularly of the foreign
relations committee" to the pronounce
wents of WINSTON Churchill, British
cha ncellor of the exchequer.
Senator Reed said the spirit" of
Mr.. ChurchilTs speech followed the
lines of the Balfour note proposing
world cancellation or debts, which
would have made US the great pay
masters, as in the past" He asserted
that direct or indirect Interference"
by Great Britain in debt discussions
between this country and France
could not be tolerated. The declara-
tion of Churchill, he declared, was as
intolera BILE az the action of the kaiser
in telling US where and how we could
sail our ships"
The Treasury has accepted Churchills s
statement "as obvious and logical" and
has no intention of making any further
comment
This official expression was made
today after a conference between
Secretary Mellon, Undersecretary Win
ston and Assistant Secretary Wadsworth
at the Treasury.
The situation created by the pro-
nouncement is believed in some quar-
ters, however, to forecast an early
meeting of the American Debt Com
mission. Some members OF the COM
mission appear apprehensive over the
outlook, but the belief apparently
prevails at the Treasury that the
British position will not prove an
insurmountabIe obstacle to a settle
ment with France.

BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, December 1.-THE Union OF
Communists, whose members are en-
ployed in various public services, has
announced a street meeting near the
st. Lazare Railroad terminal tonight
to protest against the arrests and eX-
pulsions of their foreign comrades,
which continue to be made at the rate
OF two or three daily in Paris and
its suburbs.
The government has notified the or
ganizers that the meeting will not
be tolerated because it would be
likely to lead to disturbances, and
large forces of police will be placed
around the terminal with instructions
to prevent the manifestation.
1t is understood the Communists
plan several similar demonstrations
in the course of the next few days
but that the police have made ar
rangements to break them up as soon
as they start.
Receipt of the Governments notif-
cation that the meeting would be
prohibited made no difference in the
plans OF the Communist Union 1t de-
cided to go on with the demonstra-
ton. The authorities reiterated that
strong police precautions would be
taken.
