WASHINGTON HOPEFUL .
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. M) Of
ficials here apparently see hopeful
tendencies in the New xcar dispatch'
cs from Great Britain regarding war
debts, although they have received
thus far no communication indicating
the willingness of the British govern
ment to approve specifically indulgent
terms fur France, Wncn shown a
story published in London, to the ef
fect that Great Britain had assured
the United States she would not stand
in the way of a Franco-American set
tlcment on terms more lenient than
the Anglo-American agreement, hfgh
officials of the jftalo department au
thorized the statement! that no such
assurance bad reached Washington
cither officially or unofficially.
At the same time the failure of the
British foreign' office to deny that
auch a suggestion might be forthcoui-
ing was noted with great interest.
During their recent intricate stages
the debt discussions have been Jscpt
entirely confidential, but officinla evi
dently have hoped for some develop
ment to clear the air early In the new

It in thought in official circles that
M. ('leuientci's nolo cannot afford the
hums fur an actual settlement, but
that it will open a discussion that
may lead to a final agreement.

fierce and State 1 reasurer Myers ere
inclined to place credence in the re
port, but state officials of different
politieal faith io not. Trior-to the
election ft was the contention of re
publicans that tho stories of heavy
losses from the school fund loiini
were for political purposes to boo.it
the candidacy of Mr. .Myers for statu
treasurer.

of a final eummsrizatiou. He claims

ney, Malheur, Wallows, Kl-imnth
and Lake counties. Mention is also
made of "stupendous lossea" resulting
from loans of many years ago. An
other cause of losses Is s)id to be the
failure of irrigation -schemes to jlive
up to expectations. He urges tint nn
immediate effort be made-, to ascer
tain whether a state's mortgage has
priority over that of bond holders in
irrigated disticts. Ho declares there
is still opportunity to saVe the state
many thousands of dollars..
Starrett made s number of renortB
prior to tbe election, and inveirrgation
of these by 'persons not politically
friendly to Governor Pierce and State
Treasurer Myers led to assertions
that the reports were untrue. .Some of
the investigations were msde by resi
dents of counties where b&avy losses
were claimed in the reports.

Here's a New Year's resolution that's
aa easy to keep as it is to make. I treads
like this: Whereas the year 1925 con
tains 52 weeks, with 52 washdays, and
Whereas washdays claim almost two
months of my time during the yean
Therefore, I resolve to use the laundry's
Thrif-T-service during the year and
save one day every week. For Thrif-T-service
does all of the washing and
irons all of the flat work. The remaining
articles are returned damp,
ready to starch, iron or hang
up to dry. And the price is
suited toanyfamfly'sbudgeL
