Big Crop Does Not Necessarily Mean Prosperity, Says Expert. Des Moines. lowa. Aug. 27.— (A 3 ) — - A bumper crop of corn does not nee- • essarily mean prosperity for the lowa farmer. More than likely it means money out of his pocket, says C. I). Reed, director of the weather and crop reporting service.' ] In his bulletins. My. Reed has been ; repeating ‘‘More corn —less dollars.” j Basis for the statement was found in j a fact pointed out by the late Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace, substan-, tiated by figures in Mr. Reed's own J office. The reverse is equally true'. 1 he declared, "Less corn —more dol-: lars.” "Take the crop of 1924,” ssid Mr. Reed. "lit was the poorest we have had since 1901. The average yield was only 28 bushels to the acre., Despite the yield being 132,000.000 j bushels shorter than the, previous j crop and that it was of inferior qual ity, it brought the lowa ’farmer .$13,- 000,000 more than the year before. "The 1921 crop—lowa’s greatest — is another example. The average yield for that year was 43 bushels an acre, a bumper crop even for lowa, yet the total return to farmers 'was only $133,000,000. compared with the $250,000,000 which the average corn crop brings.” In that year Mr. Reed said the gross return for land that grew corn was $12.90 an acre, the lowest figure j since 1902. Member of Commons Violates Rule Three Centuries Old. London, Aug. 27. — (A 3 ) —When Sir Harry Hope rose in the House of Commons to speak from one of the front benches he was greeted with loud cries of “Order.” He sat down, puzzled, but rose again only to be greeted with more shouts of "Order. A member pointed out that he had violated a 300-year-old rule by put ting his foot beyopd a red line at the edge of the carpet in front of him. These lines, on either side of the chamber, were placed there in Stuart days, when the Roundheads in Parliament were bitterly attacking the Cavalier suporters of Charles I. Members in those days were armed and it was feared that debates might end in violence, so the red line was placed beyond which they were not Supposed to pass during debate. More than 1,000 yards of thread are required to make a hankerehief of average size. i- 1 Clothiers Will Not Rescue Textile Industry By Widening Pants Legs 1 Chicago, Aug. 27.

WANTEDENOUGH | TO PAY OUR DEBT Feared Now French Will j Not Pay Amount Eng land Must Pay to This Country. i —■ London, Aug. 27.— (A 3 ) —Consider- able surprise, not altogether pleasur able, has been aroused here by the ! terms of the provisional settlement of i the French debt to Great Britain as arranged yesterday by Spencer Churchill, chancellor of the exche quer, and .Tos. Caillaux, french min- I ister of finance. “Each of us had to put a little wa iter in our wine,” said M. Caillaux in | discussing terms under which France I will pay debt of 032.000,000 pounds sterling in 02 annual payments of 1 12,500,000 pounds Sterling each, if i France’s negotiation for wiping out j her debt to the United States proves satisfactory, and if the French gov ! ernment gives its approval, i While some of the persons are of 1 the opinion that the dilution referred to by M. Caillaux will prove good to both countries, there are others ,\vho express the viewpoint that Great Brit ain is getting too much of water and too little of the wine. The portion, however, has not been finally mixed, aitd the people are waiting to see whether the forthcoming Franeo-Am erican negotiations will bring forth a prohibitory influence on the suggest led composition of the Anglo-French ! debt. i Anxiety is expressed in some quar j ters lest the provisional settlement, if i ratified, should put Great Britain in the position of receiving from the debtor less than enough to enable her to meet her payments to the Unit ed States. | !

Aug. 20.—"A1l cotton out by the last of November.” is the slogan of Frank Grist, commissioner of labor and printing, j Mr. Grist added substantially to Ithe wealth of North Carolina by liis method of saving the berry crops in various sections of the state. He helped in the fruit shipments of the sand hills. “I am working on a plnn that I believe will be more effective ! than either of the other efforts,” said he this afternoon. The details are not ready, but Commissioner Grist finds it feasible to place cotton pickers from the home offices and branches. If the cotton crop should be picked before real winter weather probably several additional millions would be saved in this process. The grade would be bet ter and hundreds of thousand in pounds would be saved. That is what Mr. Grist hopes to do with his otfice. Train Men Hurt.

London, Aug. 27. —C4 5 )—Hope pre vails in official quarters in London that Germany will accept the condi tions of the security pact note from France, and that at an early date will send representatives to London to dis cuss with British and French states men the formulation of an agreement that will make warfare again impos sible. Germany, according to unofficial ad vices reaching here from Berlin, Ims agreed with the French representa tions in the note, that the time for an interchange of ideas regarding the sit uation by written communications lias come to an end, and that a round ta ble conference is a better method for disentangling the snarled skein of con troversy.

Naples, Aug. 27. —04 s )—A striking example of the mummification of A human body by natural process has been discovered at Vatolla, in the province of Salerno, with the ex humation of the body of a local resi dent, Rosa Scarpar, who died in 1912. The'body was found to be in a per fect state of preservation; even her clothes were in a sort of con dition. but retained their original col ors. Thinking the mummification pro cess might have been due to peculiar chemical qualities of the soil, the au thorities ordered the opening of an adjacent grave, but the corpse in the latter grave had completely decoin posed. This, therefore, led to the belief among devout natives that a , mi-acle had been wrought. SAT'S BEAR SAYS: Fair tonight and Friday; fresh f north and northeast winds. NO. 15
