MEMBBH ASSOCIATED PRBH8 LA GRANDE OREGON.' FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1925 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS NUMBER 73 m i ... tot CITY EDITION Hunt's Daily Letter (By Hurry II. Hunt) WASHINGTON (NBA Hpeclal). Anyone wanting: expert advice about "Keeping Cool With Cool dlgo" should apply to those dis tinguished journalists, George Har vey and William Allen White. George and Bill wore Invited to spend a week-end with the presi dent on a bit of a cruise In the good yacht Mayflower. Naturally they accepted. Such ' Invitations aren't turned down out-of-hund, even in winter time. But the Maytiower had hardly cast loose from her moorings with Its distinguished cargo than the mercury started to full. It drop ped 60 degrees In the 30 hours covered by the cruise. Of course neither Harvey nor White blames the wouthor on Cool idge. It was Just a "coincidence," they say. But both admit that "Keeping Cool With Coolidge" became a lot more realistic during the cruise than It did during the campaign, w .-. Just as the air Is full of all Borts of sounds in these days of radio, so one needs only the prop er mechanism' to enable him to pull a concert, a lecture or a bed time story out of the ether. Just so, also, is It fill of il limitable energy, needing only the proper apparatus to enable man kind to draw from it the power with which to run automobiles, propel steamships, drive power plants and-perform all (ho myriad tasks for which man now har nesses steam and electricity.

This in vention, which Glrogosslan claims would ut once relievo us of the necessity of. damming rivers or digging in mines to obtain sotfrcos of power, -would simply enable us to "tuno in" on the energy that has been stored up in the atmos phere since creation began.

(Hpeclal ) Losses to the ufufe's Irreducible school fund through bud loans will reach $800,00(1, in the opinion of J. V. Sturrctt, npeelul investigator for the state land board, in his final report to the -board. He thinks $300,000 will be lost from the orig inul bad louns and $500,000 from loans that have, become'impalred. Starmu, who admits that it is impossible nt this time to estimate accurately the losses which the school fund will suffer, points out that the heaviest of these lossns will fall in Harney, Malheur, Wal lowa. Klamath and Lake counties In the order named. In Harney county alone, Htarrett declares, tho state stands to loso $100,000 as a result of bad loans from the school fund, while the losses in both Mal heur and Wallowa counties will run close to those in Harney. .Stupendous ns these losses arc, however. Htarrett declares that they dwindle Into Insignificance In com parison whh the losses suffered' by the school fund ' through - tho . awl of school lands In the early days of tho state for a mere pittance.

P A R I 8 ( By the Associated Pram) The French foreign office today confirmed .reports that ne gotiations had been opened be tween Finance Minister Clemen thai and Secretary of the Treasury A. W.

Clementhal sent a note Tuesday suggesting a ten year moratorium, giving an Indication what the French government thinks France might be able to do toward pay ment. The note contains tho fjrst tangible propositions France has mudo toward settlement.
