Debt Pact Goes to Top
of List on Congres-
sional Slate
Washington Feb 28 — Although
moving along in more or less leis
urly fashion Congress gradually is
leaning up its slate and should be
able to get away within two months
at the least
The foreign debt settlements and
the 'annual appropriation bills are
the principal items left on the cal-
endar outside of farm relief and
- railroad legislation The Senate has
three election contests to settle but
once these reach the floor they are
not expected to consume a great
deal of time
The House is expected to pass the
Watson-Parker railroad labor bill
Monday and it will bo taken up
in the Senate in the near future
House leaders also have two addi-
tional appropriation bills down for
final action this week— those for
the independent offices and for the
State justice commerce and labor
departments
Muscle Shoals probably will oc-
cupy much of the time of the Sen-
ate during the week as leaders are
determined to have action on ilie
House resolution creating a congres-
sional commission to lease the great
war time nitrate and powder plant
oil the Tennessee river
Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee plans to ask early action
on the Italian debt settlements the
only one of the six pending debt
settlements on which there is ser-
ious contest All these settlements
already have been approved by the
House
Hearings on farm relief legis
ation will be resumed this week by
the House agriculture committee
The most prominent measure to be
taken up is the Dickinson bill de-
signed to take care of the export
surplus of the principal farm pro-
ducts The House has passed the admin
istration co - operative marketing
measure but the Senate agriculture
committee still is to hold bearings
on this and several sore other mea
sures designed to aid the agricul
tural industry

Nowata Feb 27— When ‘Toots’’
Armstrong and Jim Davis were ar-
rested by the- city police Sunday
night as they were unloading a
number of chickens from a coupe
they said the chickens had gone to
roost in their car and they did not
wish to disturb them
The two men drove up to the
home of Quay Anderson while of-
ficers were staging a raid on the
house They were arrested but later
were released when the officers
could find no one reporting their
hen roost robbed

Millions Left By Dr
Lunn Will be Used to
Better Mankind
New York Feb 28 — Sir Henry
Lunn prominent layman and editor
in the Protestant church in England
whj amassed a fortune after retir
ing as a medical missionary in In-
dia has put into practice his belief
that surplus wealth acquired by big
business men should be devoted to
to betterment of mankind
The World Alliance for Interna-
tional Friendship through the
churches Sunday announced that he
had turned over most of his vast
properties to trustees who will ad-
minister the revenue for religious
and social work including inter-
national peace
The exact value of the properties
was not given but the announce-
ment said they totaled millions
They include the enterprises con-
ducted by Sir Henry Lunn Ltd of
London This firm operates a tour-
ist business and owns or controls
many large hotels in Switzerland
and other parts of Europe
The funds accruing from the bus-
inesses will be administered by the
Lunn foundation for the benefit of
the movements which Sir Henry
has supported during -the last ten
years He is a leader in the church
unit movement and now is touring
- this country in behalf of that move
: ment i
The only property not deeded to
the trustees of the foundation was
trust funds created for members of
his family Upon death each bene-
fidamrs share will go to the trus-
teeship W v
- Stillwater Mar 1 In the last
few months farmers have terraced
more Oklahoma land which faced
ruin by erosion than has -ever be-
fore been terraced it is shown by
oounty agriculture agents’ reports
to the extension division of Okla-
homa A and M College
In practically every report reach-
ing the college stories of terracing
work are told They come from afl
sections of the State and reveal
that agents have spent a large share
of their time this winter in teaching
farmers how to terrace their land
Terracing schools have been held
teams trained to teach other farm-
ers hundreds of individual demon-
strations made and even farm dub
boys have been taught how to do
the work so they might in turn show
their fathers
A L Edmiaston Choctaw boun-
ty agent says he has had more than
a hundred calls for terracing dem-
onstrations and has onljs met the
demand by training teams of farm-
ers to substitute for him
C R Donart Oklahoma County
agent reported his time engaged for
weeks in advance to give demon-
strations M C Liebhart Payne
County agent and Tom M Marks
in Harmon County are others who
have made special terracing reports
Marks tells of farms abandoned
because of erosion which could
have been saved by terracing In
Seminole County Agent & S Sul
livan has trained 24 teams to demon-
strate terracing work to other farm-
ers M C Ferguson agent in Gar-
vin County tells of increased farm
grofits on terraced land L F Mc-
onald Logan County agent points
to E S Haws farmer as an enthu-
siast for terracing
J B Hill Pontotoc County has
purchased with county funds ter-
racing levels for each district of the
county and ten are now in opera-
tion In Rogers County C F Rowe
reports many demonstrations Marl
Keeran Comanche County farmeri
spent the whole winter terracing
