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."

PLEAD GUILTY
Chicago. The fute of Richard Loeb

and slayers of 13-year-old Robert

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,

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,"

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

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.

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.
