10 a general arbitration treaty be-
ween the United States, Great Britain
and France on Thursday marked q
great step forward in the plans for
universal peace for the world and

for President Taft, who has stood be
hind the negotiations. Germany and
Japan have also been approached
and it is altogether probable these
two countries will take favorable az
to- on the same issue.
The first signature attached this
was that OF Ambassador Jus
serand of France in Paris and several
hours later the British treaty was
signed By Ambassador Bryce in
The British and French
treaties were signed By Secretary Of

Big Feed

At a meeting of the Farmers Union
Tuesday eveing it was decided that
the farmers of the vicinity of Paonia

plan of holding a big picnic at the

dump boards prepared to work un-
der the direction of Marshall Chap
man. The ladies will be asked to
bring just a little more than enough

VIII need to go hungry Coffee and
lemonade will be furnished on the
grounds free of charge. Ii is not the
intention to ask only members of tn
Farmers Union. but teverybod inter-
ested In beautifying the Park is urg-
ed to be on hand. This is certainly a
generous move on the part of the
ranchers and show their appreciation
OF the Park as a rest place and an ad-
htitional attraction for Paonia. The
invitation is not for ranchers exclus-
lively, either, but anyone living In
town who can assist in the work
and enjoy the picnic dinner is urged
to be present. Show your willingness
to cooperate in this movement by
being on hand. The committee In
charge already has assurance of a
good attendance but are especially
anxious to show the town people
that the ranchers can do things when
they get started Come, Don't say
there Will be enough without you,
but bring something to work with,
bring your family. and above all
bring well filled lunch basket. For

picnic phone to A. A. Underhill or
