(By the United Press) '
Washington, Nov. 22. The arms conference today appear
ed to be working speedily toward agreement on two of its
major tasks, limitation of naval armament and untangling of
intricate Far Eastern problem.
As to the third major task, limitation of land armament,
the impression prevailed that little action regarding it would
be taken at this time. . :-' -
It was apparent that the American government is first driv
ing toward definite agreements on naval armaments and Far
Eastern questions.

BIG CORN CROP MEANS
BIG SUPPLY OF MEAT.
New York, Nov. 21. Promise of a
corn crop of 3,152,000,000 bushels in
the' United States alone coupled with
recent favorable - reports on world
wheat and rice crops suggests, says
the Trade Record of the National City
Bank of New .York, that the, world'
supply of thread and meat will be
little below normal despite the short
age in t'he wheat fields of Russia. A
3,000,000,000-'bushel corn crop in the
United States alone means probably
4;000,000,000 bushels for the entire
world, for the United States usually
produces three-fourths of the world's
corn outturn. And this big corn crop
with us means in turn an unusually
big. meat supply, especially of pork,
for a large part of the corn of the
United States is fed to swine on the
farms where it is grown and the meat
thus produced distributed to all parts
of the world in far greater values
thart that of the corn in .the natural
state.
Fx-Senator Depew's
Original Nest-Egg a
Tidy Small Fortune
Washington, Nov. 21. Saving
money is not so hard after a person
once acquires the habit.
; Chauncey M. Depew, erstwhile
United States senator from New
York, put $100 in a Peekskill, N. Y.,
savings bank in 1860. It was his
first $100.; Maybe Senator Depew
found, as many do, that the first $100
proved to be the hardest. Anyway,
in spite of the strenuous temptation,
he refused to draw upon that $100,
and, as a result of later prosperity,
finally forgot about it. Not long ago
Senator Depew entered the Peekskill
bank to greet some old friends and
they reminded him of his "nest egg."
On computing the interest it was
found that the ioriginal deposit of
$100 had grown to $800, and owing
to the long period in which it had lain
undisturbed had achieved the dis
tinction of being known as the bank's
star account.

(By the United Press)
Washington, Nov. 22. Even the
wise old wolf will fall for the temp
tation of poison if the bait is prop
erly prepared and placed. .Such is
the conclusion proved, in the face of
long-standing belief to the contrary,
iy predatory animal inspector em
ployed by: the Biological Survey,
United States Department of Agri
culture.
'We arrived on the range one even
ing." reads a recent Arizona report,
and kiMed a yearling colt to be used
as a drag. That night we scattered
oerhans 150 poison baits. The next
day we made another drag with an
automobile, and along this drag iine
put out about 30Q baits. That night
two wolviu came in and Kinea a line

regular route ot travel until tney
crossed the drag line, where each

FOClf FOUND LOT FRENCH
RESERVES AT WOONSOCKET.
' Providence, R. I., Nov. 21, It will
be remembered .that Woonsocket,
R. I., entered the" World War before
the United States severed diplomatic
relations. At ieaUt, this city in 1914
sent 138 French reservists to -the
colors of France. So when Marshal
Foch stopped off in Woonsocket to
be the guest of the American Legion
he was greated by the eurvivors of
the' poilu reserve contingent. There
were about 60 of them in their hori
zon blue uniforms and some of them
wept with the joy of seeing their
former commander. During the stay
of the Foch party, the marshal was
entertained by Andrew F. Young
Post of the Legion. In Providence,
Marshal Foch spoke at Brown Uni
versity . from- the same place where
Washington had addressed the
Frenchmen who fought with the
Unted States during the Revolution
ary War. Many of the French wound
ed at Yorktown were eared for at
Brown.

Washington Nov. 22. Walking
stii(lks and arms confejwnces seem
about as far apart as cabbages and
kings or the carpenter's sealing wax
and Alice in Wonderland. As a mat
ter of fact, there's a very close al
liance between the two. The arms
conference is going to set the fash
ion in carrying sticks. Every diplo
mat from across the seas has brought
his stick with him. Some of them
have brought two or three. Lord Iee
of Fareham for instance, carried his
when he climbed out of his pullman
at the union station here. The Jap
anese delegates all carried them, on
their arrival. Secretary Hughes 'has
adopted a black stick with a crook
handle. Sir Auckland Geddes has
carried one- for years and years, as
ail good Britishers do. Harding,
Root, and even Secretary Weeks have
developed the habit.

About Markets.
Dr. Joyner stated that the largest
markets of the association will nat
urally be in the reas where there is
the greatest membership. Ample
facilities will be provided at all
points. Small markets which find
it almost impossble to exist under
the present system will have a new
lease on life in many instances. As

it is believed there will be compara

the larger , markets. .
Powerful Outfit.
The 50,000 groWeif in fhe Virginia
Carolina organization will comprise
the most powerful "co-op." in the
United States, if not in the world,
having a practical monopoly of the
bright tobacco generally grown in
the three states. There is a world
wide dmand for the local product,
bu texportation does not enter into
the organization's plans. The 'buyers
will continue to control this phase of
the industry as in the past. Tho hectic-
"tobacco season" will probably
pass out, with all of its hustle and
rush. "AU-the-year marketing" will
be the order, with buyers "paying
the market" according to the grade
sought and with the law of supply
and demand playing - a little larger
part in the establishment of prices.

$7,500 Fund Created
For Shade Trees in

(By the United Press)
Washington, Nov. 22-The state
ment tias been made in ibank adver
tisements that if $1 had 'been placed
at compound interest in the year 1 it
would have grown .by now to a sum
larger than all .the money in the
world.
Such a statement must have
caught the eye of Alfred V. Lincoln,
of Charleston, Mass. His wall pro
vides that $7,500 of his estate must
be set aside at compound interest for
1)0 vears. or untid the year 2011.
Then the total will be drawn out to
plant many trees in Mr. Lincoln's
home town.
At 4 per cent, compound interest
money doubles in 17 years and 246
days. In 90 years. Mr- Lincoln's
original- $7,500 w.ill amount to about
f250,000. Shrewdly invested by trus
tees, it may turn into millions.
Briand is a creat orator. He dealt
with a great subject and the occas
ion was great because his words will
reach the entire world, but it was an
unpleasant role 'because the premier
could not fail to realize that he was
presenting unpalatable facts .to -on
audience that wasanxious to sympa
thize. -
What a profound impression he
would have made if he could have di-
cussed nrmivinnts on hmd , in the

premier's ariTument cari.'iot be disput

his premises will not !be granted with

many. He estimated the size of the
army that Germany could raise on ,

that the war bus left her enough of
ficers nd serge-ants to command and
lead any army if she wwnt to war,
And yet the very facts show how
futile is France's dream of security
if she rely upon meeting force wiuh
force, riemier Briand quoted tvon ,
Moltke and Ludendorff to-:-support
France's fears. . But by some esti

Hughes Said Something.
-Secretary Hughes in one sentence
answered all tho . arguments that
Briand p-resen-led. H did it -wi n
kindly way and, for lhe 'purjiowj of
giving to France even greattsf things
than she asked, through different in
kind. The first striking sentence ut
tered by the Secretary of State w$s
that what the world needs is "the
will to peace." - "
He followed this up with a sennce
pro-baMy better than any other sen
tence thus far uttered, because it
aptly ' describes the reel purpose oi
this conference, viz: "To create a
jif-position which wild give to France
greater security than arm. or .mili
tary fowe can give." There can be
but one dominating thought and all
other thoughts will in time be s-ub,-ordinated-to
this dominant thought.
Doesthe world want peace, universal
and perpetual? If so, is it willing,
to substitute the sirit of friendship
for the policy of terrorism t
Nations and groups of nations have
tried to build peace on terrorism and
they have failed. The world must be
gin again in the sense that its. pas
iicn must be a passion for peace and
not for power, purchased by Wood
shed. If peace is impossible without
moral disunmamcirt, and of course it
is impossible - with moral disarnia
ment, why not make some inquiry, is
to whether and how tho peace spirit
can be substituted for the war spirit,
so that peace assurances can be given
instead of assurances based on force?
Why not get a statement from Ger
many? Again is publicity, justified,
trance has stated her case to the
world and tomorrow the world will
set about the task of finding not only:
for Frame but for all nations, a
greater security than that which they
nave found in either battleship or
