WILL
SEEK PASSAGE
OF FARM BILL
Coolidge Anxious To Set
tie Relief Problem Be-
fore March 4.
EY PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Corresp0ldent)


WASHINGTON, Dee. 26.-A ser
ious effort to get some action ON
farm relief legislation will be made
in both houses of congress after the
Christmas holidays by group Of
leaders in sympathy with President
Coolidgr's desire to handle the farm
problem before he leaves office.
\ majority Of the farm bloc ap-
pears not to be in sympathy with
the project and it is doubtful whcth-
or it can be carried out but the group
favoring such course is offering
special inducements to bloc mem
bcrs.
The chief objection of the bloc is
that it does not want Mr.. Coolidge
to appoint members of the federal
farm board which would be created
under any farm relief plan. Its
members would rather wait and let
President elect Hoover do the ap-
pointing after his inauguration.
Against these objections Mr.. Cool
idgc's friends have given private as
suranccs that he will sign any bill
which measures fully up to the farm
relief program laid down in the Re
publican platform adopted at the
Kansas City convention. They even
suggest he might be persuaded to
consult and abide by lloovcr's judg-
mcnt in his selection of the farm
board.
Those who are working on this
scheme in congress hope by conSum-
nation of such idea to thwart the
plan for an extra session of congress.
They believe tariff revision can
wait until next December or at least
until Il special session late IN the
fall.
They say Mr. Coolidge is desirous
that the farm problem be settled be
fore he leaves office which would
be feather in his cap when future
historians come to sum up his ad-
miniStration.

LONDON, Dee. 26.-Prospccts for
world peace are good, in the opin-
ion of NiScount Cecil of Chclwood.
Lord Cecil, who was Britain S first
delegate to the League of Nations,
made the following statement during
the course of an exclusive interviews:
"Thc outlook for peace is good ;
distinctly good. 1t has been very
much improved indeed by the Kcl-
logg pact. | sincerely hope that
nothing will happen to prevent it
coming into force. Such an event
would be disastrous to the peace of
the world.
AT the beginning of the convcrsa-
ton, Lord Cecil spoke of past and
present incidents in his private life
but gradually he driftrd into his
favoritc subject, peace and disama-
mCnt. He said,
hope certain uttcranccS have
not caused any Americans to be mis-
led into the belief that Britain $
reception of the Kellogg pact was
not a good one 1t was. The pact
was very warmly received here. In
fact it was greeted here very much
better than | ever dared to expect.
" You see, Britain accepted the
pact. Not only accepted it, but
even went so far as to accept the
very wording of it as drafted by Mr..
Kellogg. Therefore, regardless of
what may have been said, or may be
said about it verbally, Britain is
bound to it. That being the case,
the most profound disappointment
would naturally result if it broke
down.

NJ. +. Church Makes
Sweeping Change
in Divorce Cod G

Kansas City, May 30.-(AP)-A
sweeping change in the divorce code
of the Methodist Episcopal church
has been effected with the approval
of separations on grounds equivalent
to adultery.
Adoption of resolution to this
effect at the concluding session OF
the quadrennial general conference
Of the church here yesterday, per-
mits ministers to marry person
divorced on grounds other than
adultery, which heretofore was for
hidden. Pastors were told they
could use their own discretion in de-
Gliding on the eligibility Of divorced
persons to remarry and that they
could consider extenuating circum-
stances.
The conference also voted to rec
ognize divorces granted by the
state, to receive divorced persons in
to the church, and to begin a mar
riage educational campaign among
its young people. Courses OF study
on marriage problems were ordered
prepared for use in schools. Young
people were advised to seek par
entail, medical and pastoral advice
before marriage, and states were
urged to check hasty marriages by
passing laws requiring delay II
granting marriage licenses, and re-
curing public notice of intention tt
marry.

the state pardon board to lop off
two years from his sentence. In
view Of the fact that he was only
an accomplice it isn't justice that
he should have been given the
longer sentence, he contends.
But his claim to modesty rests on
another basis. Most prisoners
hardly get their feet inside the
prison walls until they start clam
oring for a pardon or leniency OF
some kind, officials Of the pardon
board said. In addition most Of
them make their initial request one
for a complete pardon or parole.
Mcdonald waited three years be-
fore asking for anything and then
asked for only minor consideration.
The meeting of the pardon board,
scheduled to open June 2, is ex-
pected to require more time than
any other meeting in recent years.
More than $50 prisoners have filed
applications for pardons, paroles OF

MISSOURI FLOW
FIGURES 0KAY
Federal Geologist Approves
State Engineering Depart
ment Methods

Approval of the method used by
the state engineering department
in estimating the flow of water in
the Missouri river has been voiced
by S. Il. Soule Of Madison, Wis, Of
fetal in charge Of the water re-
sources division of the u. S.
Geological survey office at that
point.
Soule came to North Dakota at
the request Of State Engineer
Robert E. Kennedy to check the
measurements which have been
made here. His approval of the
method used, Kennedy said, gives
the figures compiled by the North
Dakota department official status
and makes them available for use
by engineers who are considering
the Mississippi flood control prob
lem.
Surprise was expressed by Soulc
when he learned the volume of
water flowing down the Missouri
river, Kennedy said. On the day
he made his tests the flow Of the
stream was $4,000 second feet.
This was approximately 8 per
cent of the total volume of water
flowing in the Mississippi at the
crest Of the flood year ago. The
term second feed" Kennedy said,
is the unit used by engineers in ex-
pressing the flow Of water in a
stream.
Soulc will report his finding to
the main office of the geological
survey at Washington, he said upon
