'. U. S. AID PLEDGED EUROPE Private Economic Assistance Declared Certain by Secretary Hughes, London, American assistance lu necessary measures for the economic rehabllUitlon of Europe may be coun ted upon, Secretary Hughes of the American state department said here Monday, speaking at the Pilgrims diu nr. "It does not matter that this nld is not given by the government." Mr. llWhes continued. "I may give It ns my conviction that had we attempt ed to make America's contribution to the receut plan of adjustment of a governmental matter, we Bhould have been Involved In a hopeless debute and there would have beon no ade quate action. "We should have been beset with demands, objections, instructions. This Is not the way to make an Amer ican contribution to economic revival. "You have the Dawes plan and you have had the participation of Amer ican experts with the liberty of con structive effort, which was essential because it was undertaken in the only way in which success was possible. When you deal with economic rehabili tation you doubtless have in mind such contribution as America may be able to give In disinterested advice and later In participation in the ab solutely essential loan. "The important, indeed, the indis pensable thing is that methods should be contrived and that your disposi tion should be such that assistance of that sort can be rendered. "All discussions will be futile un less the arrangements ultimately made satisfy the investing public. We appreciate the difficulties but we be lieve that the Dawes plan opens the path of confidence and prosperity. For that reason we are deeply interested In its prompt execution. "My confidence that a way will be found to surmount all the existing difficulties lies in the tact that failure would invite chaos. There Is no gain to anyone in that. On the other hand, going forward with reasonable meas ures to put the plan Into effect gives hope to all." Mr. Hughes led up to his specific reference to the deliberations now in progress in London in an effort to find a way to put the Dawes plan into effect by saying that he was "oft duty tonight" and that his status was that of "a sympathetic and un official observer." He was also, the secretary continued, returning In an Informal way the visit of the prince of Wales to the United States and look the opportunity to reaffirm Presi dent Coolldge's desire that there should be further conferences for limitation of armaments "as soon as the time Is opportune." FRANK MURDERERS PLEAD GUILTY Chicago. The fute of Richard Loeb and Nathan F. Leopold Jr., kidnapers and slayers of 13-year-old Robert Franks, was placed in the hands of one man John R. Caverly, chief Jus tice of the criminal court of Cook county when they pleaded guilty Monday. Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, reiterated his Intention of asking the death penalty for the two college students. Clarence S. Darrow and Benjamin iiacliruth, attorneys for the defense, announced in court their purpose to see their clients safely Incarcerated for life. "We have had no intention of try ing to restore them to society," ex plained Mr. Darrow. In behalf of his motion to change the pita he addressed the court as follows: "Your honor, Mr. Bachrach and my self and all of those concerned in this case for the defense are fully aware of tho responsibilities Involved. "The case has attracted an unusual amount of attention, and the theory has been advanced that the defense wishes to restore the defendants to society. "We are of the opinion that these two young men should be permanently Isoluted, and It never was our in tention to attempt to restore them to freedom. "It is our Intention merely to see that these two defendants are safely Incarcerated for the rest of their lives," Mr, Darrow said. "Therefore, I move to withdraw the plea of not guilty and to enter pleas of guilty for both defendants," Ancient Relics Sought. Sulem, Or. W. I. Stuley, secretary of the Oregon Growers and E. K. Bragg. Industrial accident commis sioner, Sunday visited the Eikhorn district, where excavations are being made Into tho side of a huge pyramid which explorers believe hold tho re mains of some ancient peoples.

GERMAN WEALTH 10 SECURE U Plan Agreed On in Case Ber lin Defaults. TREATY IS PRESERVED Conclusions Raise JHigh Hopes of Economic Restoration of European Nations. London. The commilleo on sanc tions of the interallied conference agreed unanimously Suturduy on two Important principles to govern the action of the allies In eveut of possible default by Germany under the Dawes reparations plan, namely, to Insure investors in the loan to Germany of priority on all German resources In event of such default, and to preserve the rights of the couutries signatory to the Versailles treaty. With this agreement, In the opinion ot tho American, British and French delegates, a long step has been taken toward the success ot the Conference upon which such high hopes have been raised for the economic restora tion ot Europe, At the opening ot the conference Wednesday it was generally recog nized that the proposed loan to Ger many was the crux ot the Dawes plan, and after only tour days' deliberations it was possible for the committee to agree that In any contingency, In cluding default and resultant sanc tions, the holders ot the loan should have priority claim to the assets of Germany. With this Is coupled an agreement that the protocol to make the conference action effective shall reserve all the rights enjoyed at present by those countries which sign ed the treaty ot Versailles. France halls the latter decision as a distinct victory for her, and takes it to mean that she still has the right to separate action should Germany default. Premier Herrlot announced bis satisfaction with the great pro gress which has been made and his adherents construed this as calculated to silence any claims by his opponents that the premier bartered away 'the rights ot France under the treaty ot Versailles. The Americans and British share in the French enthusiasm over the fact that the unanimous agreement has carried the work ot the confer ence so fur forward, although they do not share the Inference that France is ready to draw from. Satur day's understanding. The Americans and British do not concede that the document agreed upon empowers separate action by France. In fact, neither the present MacDonald government, nor any pre vious government, nor any consldt-r-able section ot public opinion has ever recognized the legality under the treaty of Versailles, of the present occupation ot the Ruhr. Rebels to Fight Hard. Buenos Aires. The officially her alded decisive action by which the Brazilian government expects to put an end to the Suo Paulo rebellion will find the rebels well prepared, accord ing to unconfirmed dispatches reach ing BuenoS Aires from near the scene of the struggle. With approximately 20,000 well armed and munitioned men, the robels are said to be awaiting with confi dence an attack by the federal forces. It Is asserted that the rebels hold all the strategic points In and about the city of Sao Paulo and also have artil lery placed on what are known as the English Bluffs, which command the roads leading to the city and from which the Portuguese a century ago used to watch for hostile Indians. Farms Gain $1,500,000. Spokane, Wash. Stocks ot 1923 wheat on hand in eastern Washing ton and northern Iduho are worth $1,500,000 more today than if they had been sold at the low price level, be cause of the recent rise In prices, ac cording to Walter J. Robinson, man ager of the Washington Wheat Grow ers. He estimates thut there Is be tween 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 bushels of wheat held over. The new crop Is not being sold, Mr. Robinson said. Lava Fountains Flow. Honolulu, T. II. Lava began flow ing In the crater of Halemaumau Sat urday afternoon for the first time since the severe eruptions In May. Lava fountains, Including Old Faith ful, began shooting their geysers from 60 to 200 feet high, over a radius of several acres. Reflections from these displays have beon visible for miles. LIVE STOCK HOW TO KEEP FLIES AWAY FROM ANIMALS There Is probably nothing Out will keep tiles away from live stock, to ths extent that they will not be more or less Irritated by them. Most of the coul tar products used tor "dips" to- kill external parasites are useful when used over the body, well diluted and applied from a spray pump. Oil or tar or pine tar can often, be used to advantage lu protecting places that havs become sore from the Irritation of tiles. The following mixture has usually given as much satisfaction s any other: Synthetic oil ot sassafras, (our ounces; lord, or neatafoot oil, two pints, and crude petroleum enough to make one gallon. This wilt Cost about $1 a gallou. A less expensive mixture and one that will not need to be applied as often as the other Is as follows: FUh oil, 100 parts; oil ot tur, 00 purls, and crude carbolic acid, 1 part. The best time to "swat the fly" la before be Is born. Allowing plies ot manure to accumulate lu the stubles snd yards, for flies to breed In, and then applying some kind of "dope" to keep (lies away from the animals. Is Inconsistent, to say the least. . 1L Glover, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. Separate Self-Feeders Are Gaining Popularity Self fed hogs gain 7.4 per cent faster than when band-fed, according to thorough tests at the Missouri agri cultural experiment station. let bogs self-fed require no more feed to pro duce a given amount of gulu that when hand-fed.- Hence the practice Is a labor saver. When each feed laj placed In a separate self-feeder the, hogs will choose the different feeds so Hi st the gain will be both rapid and economical. Experiments hero hsve shown that the proper use of supplementary feeds like tankage. Unseed oil meal or wheat middlings Increase the profits derived from swine feeding. A ton of tank age ssves 100 bushels of corn. A ton of linseed oil meal saves 90 bushels, snd a ton ot wheat middlings saves 88 bushels. These experiments have shown that fattening hogs gained 23 per cent faster on a ration of corn and wheat middlings than on corn alone, S3 per cent faster on corn and linseed oil meal, 32 per cent faster on corn and tankage, and M per cent faster on corn and soy beans. The saving of grain resulting from the nse of pasture crops Is found U be from 20 to 60 per cent. Raising Orphan Pigs Is Rather Difficult Task It Is a very difficult task to raise young pigs, since they must be fed from six to eight times per day for the first week or so. After thst the time between feeding may be In creased. Whole, sweet, fresh cow's milk Is considered best Dn'l adulterate It. Sow's milk Is richer In all nutriments and especially fats than cow's milk. Hand-fed pigs are more likely to be overfed than underfed when It Is un derstood thst a sow has ouly about one quart of milk per day for a whole Utter of pigs. A little more cow's milk can bo fed than sow's milk. Add few middlings to the milk when the pigs are about two weeks old.. The great danger with pigs fed by hsnd Is Indigestion. A lltUe castor oU Is good for this. Feeding Saves Fertility Feeding stock saves fertility that would otherwise be lost If feeds were old directly off the farm. A ton tf alfalfa bay or barley contains $4.00 to $8.00 worth of fertility value, 75 per cent of which the steer will re turn to the farm If the manure la carefully bandied. 00000000000000000000000009 Live Stock Jots 00000000000000000000000000 White hogs are more subject to sun scald on rape pasture than red or black bogs. e Ohio Is the eighth state In the Union In value of live stock.

They will prove a haven to the little fellows, especially If the mother Is large and clumsy, see Watch the milk weights and try to prevent sudden drops In production because of hot weather, short pasture, or files. It pays to talk gently to the cows before starting to milk; then, start slowly and gradually Increase the speed, neither fast nor slow. Scours In calves msy usually be traced to overfeeding, the feeding of cold milk, the use of dirty palls or feed boxes, or the keeping ot the calves In Insanitary conditions. lone Market GEO. W.
