rise of Deavertown grange to the
splendid organization it is today A
year ago the agent attended a grange
meeting at Deavertown when only a
few farmers We're present, and when
outlook for the future of that
grange loked pretty dark. Last
week the agent again attended a
meeting of that grange and found
close to 100 interested patrons pres
ent The people of that community
are to be congratulated upon their
ability to realize the need for a
strong community organization. AS
a start toward constructive effort,
Deavertown grange membership is to
revive the community institute
which has not been held for nine
years. Out of this institute backed
by an enthusiastic grange member
ship, should and will come many
worth while community activities.
Cheneyville grange is on the thresh-
old of same kind of reorganization
and is also to take it's place in again
sponsoring the fine community in
stitutes which used to be held in
that neighborhood.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES

Potato Growers Meeting

Any interested in securing good
certified seed potatoes are requested
to meet at county agents office, Sat
urday afternoon, Feb. %, at 1880.
If orders for a car load of seed can
be obtained, those present will ap-
point a committee of growers to
handle funds, order potatoes, check
out of car upon arrival and be re-
sponsible for collection of 1919 ad-
vance required at time order is plac-
ed, and for collection of balance on
each order before car arrives. Your
county extension agent is not rec
ommending any increase in potato
acreage this year. 1t seems ad
visable to reduce the acreage. That
potatoes next fall will be less than
81 per bushel, seems certain, and
men who increase their acreage
this spring are almost sure to be
disappointed in price they will re-
ceive for potatoes. Keep this meet
ing in mind, notify others who are
to purchase seed potatoes, attend
meeting if possible and talk this
situation over.

proofs of ability of people to co

of the county agent in the three
years he has been in the county, is

ator Jones has emphasized that he does
not regard the value of the land as
the only basis for determining the ap-
portionment but thinks 1t would be
helpful to Congress to have an annual
report on the property valuation.
An interesting feature of the Bing-
ham proposal is the provision that the
results would be reported to Congress
by the budget bureau as part of the
budget recommendations next year. At
the present time the annual budget in

he would hear from them later as to
arrangements for a further confer

he had not received any word. Senator

they were extremely reasonable in Offer

from the Senate's figure of $4,000, 900

IN CONTEMPT CASE
Former Bank of Commerce &
Savings Official and Juror
Are Charged.

From the $50 Edition OF Yesterdays Star.
Frank Owings, former vice president
of the Bank of Commerce and Savings,
and Fred w. Jones, 3811 Beecher street,
juror serving in District Supreme
Court, Circuit Division, were cited today
by Justice Frederick L. Siddons for al
legged contempt of court. They are re-
quired to appear July for hearing.
The citation is based on afidavits of
five members of the jury panel, who de-
clared that after the court had sub
mitted to the jury the case of Charles
D. Kenney, trading as Washington
Electric Co., to recover 81 400 from the
Bank Of Commerce g. Savings last
Monday. the panel stood IL to l in
favor of the plaintiff and so remained
until the final report of a disagree
ment to the court The juror. Jones. it
is stated, was seen by one of the ju-
rors in conversation with Mr.. Owings,
who had appeared as witness for the
bank at the trial.
Four other jurors said he admitted
in their presence that he had inquired
OF Owings as to the banks duties in
the matter in controversy and had
asked if the bank carried any insur-
ance to protect it against such loss.
Kenney, in his suit, sought to re-
cover four checks of customers, which
had been cashed by the bank on the
Endorsement Of an employe of the
plaintiff, who had no such authority.
Attorneys Francis W. Hill, ir., and
F. B. Hoffman represented the plain
tiff and called the attention of the
court to the alleged conversation be-
tween the juror and Owings.

SLOW TREATY VOTE
Final UnreServed Approval
Expected by Administra-
tion Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Reservations in preparation by op-
ponents Of the London naval treaty,
threatened, today, to prolong the SEN
ate'S contest over ratification of the
pact.
Administration spokesmen continued
confident the arms limitation agree
ment would, eventually, be given un-
reserved approval, but foresaw a pro-
tracted, bitter controversy.
The reservations under preparation
would include the following:
A declaration that the treaty in
wolves no permanent surrender Of the
previously claimed right of the United
States to build as it pleases;
An assertion that under the so-called
escape clause" America can build
whatever type of ship it desires in the
event of England or Japan building be-
yond the treaty limits because of the
construction programs of nations not
signatory to the pact;
A statement that under the replace
ment clauses Great Britain can replace
her 6-inch-gun cruisers with ships of
that category.
The first reservation is an outgrowth
Of the controversy ever the comparative
value of 6-inch and 8-inch gun ships.
Opponents of the treaty, Including nu-
merous high-ranking naval officers,
have contended the pact involves q de-
parture from accepted American con-
Struction policy in its curtailment of
the construction of big cruisers.
With respect to the second reserva-
ton, foes of the pact assert that If
Great Britain builds beyond the treaty
figures under the escape clause, Amer
lea can build only in the same Catego-
ries as the new British vessels.
An exchange of notes already has
taken place on the subject of the third
reservation. In this it was agreed that
replacement must be in the same cate
CORY as the ships replaced.
President Hoover is standing firm
upon his announced intention of CALI
ing a special session of the Senate i'm
mediately upon adjournment to take
up the treaty. This was learned after
petition bearing the names Of "a Sem
ators and asking that the treaty debate
be postponed until Fall had been sent
to him.
The pact was severely criticized last
night in a radio address by Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, Tennessee. He said
it fails to give America parity with
Great Britain and will not stop COM
ps titive building.

interest in a coal mine near Sparta.
Col Lindbergh was an aviation in
spiration to the Hunters because he was
forced down near their place one dark
night. He spent the night at the Hunter
home. Lindbergh then was flying the
Chicago-St. Louis airmail.
The boys scraped $4,000 together and
bought plane. John took three hours
of lessons and few the crate" to
Sparta. The three others soon learned
to fly. After crack-pp-and they had
a few-they would go back to the farm
and the mine and save their money un-
til they could restore the plane.
Last year John and Kenneth, known
as the Chicago mystery flyers" tried to
break the endurance record Fog pre-
vented a refueling effort during the
early morning hours and the airmen
were forced down.
Endurance flying is not sport for
timid spenders. Walter estimated the
cost at $685. day. To exceed the
record Of 1712 days the total cost will
exceed $11 1000.

SHANGHAI, June 26.-A pitched
battle between Nationalist and rebel
northern alliance armies, which may be
the decisive engagement of the present
Chinese civil war, was reported in prog
reSs today along the Haichow-T -Tung-
kwan Railway in Honan Province.
Reports from foreign circles in the
war zone said Chang Kai-Shek, Ma
tionalist president-general, had thrown
100000 men into the fight, hoping to
capture Kaifeng, rebel dominated capi-
tai of Honan. This force was believed
to constitute the major portion Of the
Nationalists' military power.
The outcome is expected to indicate
whether the Nationalists have the
power to crush the northern alliance.
Chang apparently believes If Kaifeng
falls to the Nationalist, the power of
the northern alliance south Of the Vel
low River will be crushed.
All available airplanes and artillery
were brought into action in the attempt
to blast the northernerS out of Honan.
The foreign advices said although the
Nationalists were making a superb
thrust against the rebels the latter had
not yet shown any indication of de-
feat. Instead they were pouring In re-
Inducements In a move to take the
offensive.
