Suppose | answer you this way
said Uncle Harry. THE United States
is arranging to buy the right 10 build
a canal across Nicaragua. one Of the
Central American republics, but there
Is not much likelihood OF a second
Pacihc-Atlantic canal being built for
many. many years. if ever"
40 YOU mean that the United
States Is going 10 spend a lot of
money buying land IN Nicaragua
when our government does not expect
10 dig a canal?" asked Jimmy.
II don't wonder that You are puz-
zled by this natter said Uncle
Harry. "But / think ! can explain it
TO you This is what has happened.
President Wilson. acting through the
State Department. which handles such
matters. has arranged a treaty
a treaty, you understand. is just am
other name for agreement between
two nations s-betwcen the United
States and Nicaragua. providing that
the United States pay S3,000,0OO to
the Nicaraguan Government. and in
return the Nicaraguan Government
gives the United States the right to
build a canal across Nicaragua at any
time in the future that the United
States decides that for any reason It
needs the canal BY the treaty the
Nicaraguan Government also agrees
TO lease-which is the same as rent

why does the United States want
these islands and this land on the
Pacific side" asked Joe.
1T is planned to use the islands on
the Atlantic side and the land along
the Gulf of Fonseca. on the Pacific
side. as naval stations, which. of
course mean greater protection for
the Panama Canal" explained Uncle
Harry.
Doesn't Congress have anything TO
do with such matters?" asked Jimmy.
Part of Congress does" said Tn
Gle Harry. Under the laws Of the
country. after the President and Sec
retary OF State and the representa-
tives OF foreign country have agreed
to the terms of a treaty. IL must be
approved by the Senate OF this coun-
try. and the government OF the foreign
country.
"The Senate at Washington has al
ready approved the Nicaragua treaty,
hasn't it?" asked Joe.
YES and I'm glad to see that you
arc keeping such a close watch on
the news" said Uncle Harry. IF the
Nicaraguan Government also ap-
proves Of the treaty Il will become a
law between the two countries. The
Nicaraguan representative at Wash
ington says he thinks his country will
approve the treaty just as our Senate
has approved IT,"
"If a Nicaraguan canal is ever built
il won't be necessary TO dig big
ditch all the way across the country,
will it? That big lake can be used for
part Of the way. can't it?" asked
Jimmy, who had opened his geography
and was looking at the map OF Cen
tral America
That's right added Uncle Harry
That's Lake Nicaragua. There is a

the past several months for horses
for the European countries has
drained the oklahoma market TO the
extent that the state board Of affairs

The board now has on file such ap-

The great drain from the supph
Of horses in oklahoma has existed
over a number Of months now. This
state has probably supplied more
horses for the European countries
than any one other state. The de-
mand for horses became such that
many OF the restrictions first i'm
posed were removed and horses Of
less quality were taken. The Okla
homa animal, however, has measured
up well to the requirements
The board OF affairs, in the WORK
ing Of the state roads by convicts,
has proposed to the county commits
Sioners that il they will furnish tho
horses or mules that the state will
supply the men. These propositions
have not been met up to this time,
but this will be necessary before any
more convicts are sent out because
the state can not get any more horses
at price that seems justifiable,
