Republican, and he believes the Re-
publicans of Iowa know what they
want and who they want in the Sen
ate better than the conference or
Republican Senators.
The House of Representatives has
had it in its power during the pres
ent session to bring about a reform
that would be far-reaching politi-
cally and legislatively. So far it has
done nothing. 1t has had before 1T
for months the Norris resolution pro-
posing an amendme ent to the Consti-
tuition that would do away with
short sessions of Congress, and
bring into Office the newly elected
President and Congress in the Janu-
ary following their choice at the polls
In November. The resolution passed
the Senate by a large vote-it has
twice passed the Senate. But the
House, which could handle it prompt
ly under it's rules, has not considered
it, Smothered by the leaders is the
answer.
Now Senator Norris has given no.
tice that IL another short session of
Congress rolls round-as 1T will two
years hence-and nothing has been
done with his resolution, he intends
to filibuster all legislation, including
appropriation bills, and force a spe-
cial session.

ARTICLE V.

In times cf peace, as many tour
lists know, the French are shrewd
traders. And peace had settled over
the world again in 1919. Hence it
was natural and to be expected that
France would drive a bargain in buy
ing our huge depotS of surplus sup
plies stored on her soil. She did. The
final agreement to pay s407 GOO. 600
for which sum we still hold her
promises to pay as part of her debt
TO the United States-represented the
elimination of months of bargaining.
The cost of these supplies, a pre-
vious article has disclosed, was
$1,739. 900, 900; a fair value" of $685.
100000 had been set on them after
the armistice, s22O,O00.O00 worth were
withdrawn, leaving $749,000,00o in
supplies offered to France, and on
these the American liquidation COM
mission had made a discount of 25
per cent, offering the whole to France
for s502, 100000. That sum, as stated,
represented about 40 per cent of cost.
Delays in Negotiations.
What then followed? Did France
hurry to buy the supplies she needed
at 40 per cent of their cost? Edwin
B.. Parker, the chairman of the Amer
lean liquidation commission, says not.
Associated with Mr.. Parker were Gen.
Charles G. Dawes, now Vice Presi-
dent-eIect; Homer II. Johnson and
Henry F. Hollis. Their report tells
something of the long-drawn-out ne
gotiations between the American
commission and the French author
tiles, headed by NJ. Morel. 1t cites the
vexing delays and continues:
Finally, after much pressure, on
July 2 NJ Morel submitted his first
bid-viz., $500, 100000 francs"
The value Of the franc at that time
had fallen below 10 cents. Hence,
Frances first offer was somewhat less
than $3.50, 200, ,000-about 10 per cent
of cost.
That offer, the commissions report
goes on to say, was submitted orally
in conference and the reply was i'm
mediately made that the commission
could not give the bid serious con-
sideration.
Numerous prolonged conferences
followed In order that there might
be no misunderstanding of the COM
missions position, the chairman
wrote at length to NJ. Morel on July
7"-it had been negotiating since
ApriI-"a letter, the spirit OF which
can be gathered from the following
excerpt:
".After the sacrifices, which cannot
be measured In terms OI uolldi o.
which have been made by both OF our
peoples, it would be criminal stupid
ity on the parts of the representatives
of both our governments to fail to
agree to the disposition to be made
of the surplus war materials remain
ing on French soil.
""This commission sincerely hopes
1t will not be forced to sell for ship

French people really need or can util-
ize to advantage, and we are there

LESLIE CROPS
In FINE SHAPE
Corn, Cotton, Tobacco and Mel
ons to BRING Thousands of
Dollars to Town

The crops of Leslie and the i'm
mediate community are in an excel
lent condition, and the prospect for
a great harvest is much brighter
now than at any other period of the
year. Last week Old Sol was hid
den for two DAYS, due to The fact
that the elements had bitter CON
troversy which rested il a sham
battle. But, nevertheless, the farm
ers were greatly benefited at the ex-
pense of their aalmosity.
The rains which fell Tuesday and
Wednesday,, while falling, seemed
to be damaging the crops badly,
but the brevity of the rains prevail
ed. Up until those two heavy rains
came, the crops were suffering from
a slight drought which stunted their
growth. At this time rain seemed
to be gone for good, but Tuesday
and Wednesday the gloomy hearts
of the farmers were made happy and
gay.
The corn, with much additional
Height and natural color, seems to
be more greatly benefited by the
rains than any other crop. The pros
pective yield for this crop is expect
ed to be larger than any in the past
five years.
The hot sun affected the cotton
greatly by giving it pale and blist-
cred color, which caused it to shed
badly. But since the rain it has i'm
proved considerably. Some of the
enthusiastic farmers claim that their
cotton averages fifteen grown size
hollis to the stalk. If the estimate
is exact, the farmers are in for a
profitable year.
The growth of the peanuts which
was halted by the drought impaired
to the plants a yellowish color, but
since the rain they have grown at
very rapid rate and their Yield
per acre is expected to be nearly a
half ton. Under the existence Of
the present weather conditions pea
nuts are great prospective crop.
1t is very entertaining to watch
the laborers harvest the tobacco
crops. The lower leaves are prun-
ed and strung in small bundles on
five-foot sticks and are placed in
the lofts of the barns to undergo a
| curing process for brief period of
two days. The layers of tobacco
in each barn ranges from eight to
twelve according to the height OF
the barn. Tobacco crop is fine.
AS whole, the crops of this com
munity are in fine condition.
