 Fashionable in London

London, Jan. Pl-FaAhions in wine are as t1cllle as changes in wo- mems dress, White wine just now in the fashionable London hotels has superseded red wine as the popular drink. Even with the entree white
 wine is drunk here. In Paris this would be looked upon as the height
 of bad dinner manners. One cause for the charge here is due to the fact that since the war the Germans have been buying all the best French red wine, regardless of price. and leaving only the white wines for other purchasers.

FARM BETTERMENT
Texas CattIemen Are Told

Are Gaining.

By tne Associated HFcsS.
FORT WORTH, Tex, March TO-
Agriculture as Il whole is slowly but
surely climbing back to it's rtghtful
place among the great productive in
dustries of the Nation, Secretary
.Jardine told the Texas and South
western Cattle Raisers' Association
III an address here today.
Although estimating that the total
number of cattle in the United States
had decreased about 5000 900 since
1920, he said he believed the cattle in
dustry had passed the critical stage
and that the future for it was bright.
Migration Near End.
eve begin to see daylight ahead"
he declared, mot merely in cattle
but in the whole agricultural situa-
ton. The heavy net movement of
population away from the farms has
apparently subsided.
Farm products have improved In
purchasing power, although they are
not yet back to a parity of exchange
for industrial goods or services. Land
values show signs of improvement, at
least in some sections, and farm prop
erty is beginning to find buyers in the
open market. There are many signs
that agricultural readjustment has
proceeded to the point of real stabili-
zation and that better times are def
nitely in sight"
Concluding a technical discussion of
the cattle industry, Secretary Jardine
noted the occurrence of cycles in cat
tie prices with a period of about eight
years from the lowest to the highest.
The last high point was in 1915
and the last low point in 1928" he de-

EARLY DOWNFALL
FOR BRAND SEEN
Selection of MaIvy as Min
lister Regarded as a Har-
binger of Defeat.

Dy inc ASSuttdttu iCss'
PARIS, March IA short life Is
predicted for the ninth ministry of
Aristide BRAND 1t is termed the
Geneva ministry" by the Right ana
Center groups, which forecast it's early
demise when M. BRAND returns TO
Paris from the League of Nations
sessions.
The Figaro hints that M. BRAND ac-
cepted the premiership again, alter
the fall of his ministry on the imam
cial plans, but it was desired he SHOULD
attend the league sessions with full au-
thority to act for France on the queS-
ton of Germany's entry into the
league and also in the embrogllo
caused by the demands of countries
other than Germany for permanent
seats in the league council. Already
NJ. BRAND has been informed that he
will be questioned in the chamber be-
cause Louis Malvy was given the port
folio of the interior. Malvy was ban
ished from France after having been
convicted of defeatism during the
World War, but when the radicals
came into power he was granted am
neSty.
The history of Malvy is similar to
that of Joseph CaillauX, who also was
banished, but received pardon and was
allowed to return to his homeland.
1t is the belief in political quarters
that the Left Center Deputies, Bri-
and's main supporters, will have to be
reinforced either from the Right or
the Left of the Chamber to give him
a working majority in the lower
house. Several of the newspapers as
sert that Malvy will be the cause Of
the early downfall of NJ. BRAND.
