Coolidge Opposes McNary Measure Conveys Disapproval of Relief Bill to Administration Leaders. By KENNETH CLARK. International >ew* Service Staff Cor* respondent. Washington, May 30. — President Coolidge has conveyed word to ad ministration leaders in congress that lie strongly opposes the McNary llaugen farm bill, creating a J200, 1 non,000 export marketing corporation, It was learned today. Slits bill has received the endorse ment of the so-called progressives and farm bloc members in both houses. They were concentrated for a final drive to attempt the enactment before 1 adjournment, scheduled for June 7. THOUSANDS HONOR DEAD IN SERVICES ♦Continued From l’ftfo One.) ter, st. the joint G. A. R. and Ameri can Legion services. "Patriotism has its birthright in the spirit of American history," said Mr. Webster. "It dwells in the name of all our country's defenders, and [ should be kept alive by their descend ants. Patriotism is enlivened by the recollection of the pages in history that record the development of the country from its birth to Its present great and majestic proportions. Blot, ! from memory, the history of our early beginning, and we would not know the meaning of the word. "This is a patriotic day, a day filled with recollections. The senti ment of patriotism takes us back to the nation’s early beginning. "We of today must have faith in our country. Sublime faith and con fidence are stamped indelibly on every page of American history. It is a glorious faith. A faith at which we marvel, but a faith we must main tain. “How different the conditions in the colonies, when the Declaration of Independence was signed, and our America of today. Then wagons and carts were the means of transporta tion; now there are thousands of locomotives. Then the work of the world was carried on with the hands of labor; now it is carried on by the ' brain. Then Franklin had begun to play with the lightning, but now men could not live without the luxuries of the electric current. “The seven years war of the Amer ican revolution Is like a moving pic ture of human destiny. It is worth more to the spirit of patriotism and of Independent nationality to be familiar with the lives of the heroes of the revolutionary war, than it is to know the rise of Greece through the ages of its supremacy in art and in eloquence, or the history of Rome during its rise into the golden era under the rule of Augustus. “The fame of Washington keeps growing forever. With him on the dome of centuries stands Abraham Lincoln. Their names will be honor ed as long as there beats a human heart in sympathy with human free 1 dom. The glory of America is In its great and noble-hearted men. Amer ica can hold up to the admiration of j all people the names of Washington, who stands first in the hearts of his country, snd Lincoln, the greatest, emancipator of the human race. And while America holds up these names, it can say to the world “I have made, out of the common people, richer treasures than can be found among all the crown Jewels of all the ages." "How shall we teach the spirit of patriotism? In times of war we get inspiration from the uniform of the soldier, from the tread of the msreh ing columns. But how shall we ob tain inspiration of the spirit of pa triotism in times of peace? We may get it frdm the work of the sculptor, the artist, the painter, the poet and ♦ he composer. “Our public squares, our market places snd our parks should have in them monuments to our veteran sol diers and to our heroes. Our Amer !* lean flag should be seen floating <: everywhere. "May we not all unite in saying i in our hearts, as was said by a patriot, "I love the old republic, bounded by the seas, walled by the wide air, domed by heavens blue and lit with the eternal stars." Business Is Suspended. All banks, public offices, the lifcrarv and schools were closed. So also were 1 nearly all wholesale and retail busi ness houses. Moving picture houses snd thesters drew extra, big audiences from the hour of opening.

By International Service. London, Ma 30.—The house of lords today quashed the decree of divorce granted to the Hon. John Russell, son and heir of Lord Amphill, ffom his wife, Chrlstobel Russell, on grounds of infidelity. Russell had named a man whose Identity was not revealed. The com mittee of the house of lords that in vestigated the case said that Rus sell's testimony that he and Mrs. Rus1 sell had not lived together as man and wife could not be received under the English law. Therefore, the com mitteeman argued, no.evidence of in fidelity could properly have gone be fore the jury. Case. Sensational. The Russell divorce which brought up the question of the paternity of Mrs. Russell’s child was one of the most sensational ever heard in the British divorce court. It attracted widespread attention throughout ail Europe and America. During the trial and afterward the Infant came to be known as the "miracle baby.” After Russell denied being the fath er of his wife's child, counsil for Mrs. Russell sought to prove through a comparison of physical features that Russell was really the' father. Names Two Co-respondents. Russell had named two co respond ents who were identified and one who5 v.as not. On July 22, 1922, a jury found Mrs. Russell not guilty of Illicit relations with the two Identi fied men, but failed to agree regard ing the unidentified man. This action, the first, was called a mistrial and another was held In the divorce court i last year when Russell won. The ' trial was carried through the court ] of appeals to the house of lords.

HAY CROP IN IOWA SHORT THIS YEAR Shenandoah, la. May 31.—Page county farmers are heard frequently to remark. "Hay will be high priori this jear.” The dry weather has gone so long that It will practically be im possible to make a heavy hay crop. Recent rains will help some, but there | is not enough time now for hay crops to do really good. Wise farmers are thinking of pro ducing something in place of the regu lar alfalfa, clover and timothy hay crops. Iowa probably has nothing better that can be used now than Su dan grass.

Peter Rabbit happened to be tier the edge of the Old Orchard the morning that Skimmer the Swallow and his neat little mate arrived front the Sunny South. A neat, trim couple were Skimmer and Mrs. Swallow. How glad they were to reach the Old Orchard! They darted in and out among the trees, and circled and dived in the air above them. All the time they twittered and talked joy ously. The feathered folk, already busy with new’ homes In the Old Or chard, seemed as glad to see Skimmer and Mrs. Swallow back as the latter wero to get there. Kveryone called a greeting to them. As soon as the greetings were all over and Skimmer and Mrs. Swallow had given the other feathered folk the latent news, Mrs. Swallow suggested that they go look at their house. They railed It their house because they had occupied it for two years. It was one of the houses Farmer* Brown's Boy had put up in the Old Orchard. It was fastened to the trunk of one of ihe apple trees. All the way up from the Sunny South they had talked about their house. They planned to begin house r-eeplng at once. So. having greeted ill the people in the Old Orchard, Mrs. Swallow flew over to the house >nd alighted on the little perch Just telow the entrance. She twittered ,Ofh pure happiness. It was so good o be back home again. She just had o sit there for a moment or two and txpress her loy. Just watching her lovousness made Peter Babbit joy jus too. Then Mrs. Swallow put her head in he round doorway. She stopped wittering. For a few- seconds she tat there motionless. Then she drew jack and began to dart and dive b» It ind forth just in front of that house, thattering excitedly and angrily. Skimmer, who had been sitting on a wig nearby, couldn't understand it al all. He flew flown and poked his head In at. that entrance. Then he uld the same thing Mrs. Swallow had done. It was plain to Peter Kabbit that something was wrong. What It could he h» hadn t the slightest Idea. Never had he seen Skimmer and Mrs. Swal low so excited and angry Of course the other hlrda In the Old Orchard They darted in and nnt among the tree*. came hurrying up to find out what it was all about. It was some time before either Skimmer nr Mrs. Swal low could sit atlll long enough to tell them what the trouble wa». Finally it came out. ‘ Some one la in there " cried Mrs. Swallow. "Some one has taken our house'. It isn't right! That Is our house, and no one has any right to it but ourselves!" "If it is your house why don’t you put out whoever is in there?" in quired Scraper the Kingbird. "I would if I were in your place. No bird would take my home away from me.'" ‘So bird has taken our house from us," r»tnrted Skimmer. "If It were a idrd It would be different.” "Well, then, who is it?" demanded Scraper. Just then a sleepy looking face ap peared in th^ doorway. It was the face of Timmy the Flying Squirrel! "Oh"' exclaimed Scraper the King bird. "That is different!"
