PEACE PROPOSAL NOT
 MAKING 4 HIT
Probability Is That the Allies Will Reject the Proposal and May
 Not Consider 1t.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. - There is no change in diplomatic circles here from the first impression that the Allies will reject the Pope's peace proposal in the present form and will probably refuse to consider them at all.
 The Entente diplomatic circles yes, terday freely expressed the opinion that the proposal was inspired by the German government and was an attempt to split the Allies with conflicting discussion regarding var ious proposals submitted.
 No lndemnities
 The Pope's peace proposal is un derstood to have been delivered to all resident ambassadors and. min isters of belligerents at Rome to- day. No accurate outline of the contents have been arrived at here although it is understood that the peace proposal declares that injury to all belligerents has been so ex tensive that there can be no thought of indemnity or reparation.

must come from the farm. Under pres
cat conditions the farm woodland
should yield as high q profit in it's
wood crop as does any other portion
cf the farm, Investment considered.
Fhs tact that more farmers do not
realize this is due to ignorance of the
wood market. Along with other farm
products wood has passed through the
hands Of a number of ''middlemen,"
each Of whom secured his profit. Usu-
ally the local millman secures the
stand OF timber in q farm woodland
for q lump sum, He manufactures
this in a very rough way, markets the
lower grades locally and sorts out the
high grade oak, ash, hickory, walnut,
cherry, poplar, maple and dogwood to
ship to a lumber merchant in some
large marketing center. This firm
manufactures and regrades the prod
uct and distributes it to automobile
works, handle factories, furniture
manufacturers, vehicle factories, and
others. The farmer may have consid-
cred himself fortunate in securing five
dollars for q large walnut tree that
the furniture factory pays the commits
sion merchant perhaps $500 when man
ufaCtured. There is no reason why
the farmer should not receive a larger
share of the profit. It is not necessary
that the middIeman be eliminated, but
the farmer must have a better knowl-
edge Of the value Of his product
Where the farmer does not desire TO
manufacture his timber but TO sell
standing trees he should be very care
full to make a contract that will be
entirely fair to both parties.

CAN CHINA BE lNDEPE NDENT7
Entrance Into Great World War Is
Viewed From Different Angles
by Editors.

Much division of opinion exists in
japan regarding China's declaration
of war against Germany, says the
East and West News. Japan took the
final step for two reasons: First, the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, and, second,
a deep-founded belief in the necessity
for solidarity Of the far eastern pow
ers. The Osaka Asahi is strongly OPP
posed to China's participation in the
worlds war. 1t says: "China decided
to take the step, on the arrival of
Vice-President Feng Kuo-chang at Pc
kin. Nothing could be more regret
table than for an independent nation
to be forced by others to do anything
1t doesn't want to do. The national
existence Of any nation that yields to
coercion or undue persuasion is i'm
periled Some people regarded Japan's
declaration Of war against Germany
merely from the viewpoint Of the ALI
ance with England, but we favored
Japan's dominance in this part Of the
Pacific" H''"-
The editor of the Asani wants to
know what Feng Kuo-chang meant
when he favored declaration Of war
by China against Germany, but OBJ
jected strenuously to joining the en-
tente powers. Does he mean that
like the United States, China's declara-
ton Of war shall be separate actT
asks the Asahi. "The grave fact Is
that her present course was forced
upon her. Whether she joins the en-
tente or not matters little for the
present. The serious question is, can
China be independent from now on
ward?"

So Public bought the hammer and
the axle grease, which was really glue

At heart Public was a kindly man, and
he felt that 1t was unnecessarily cruel
to hit Samson with the hammer, but he
had implicit confidence In Agitator, so
he spat on his hands and let Samson
have few good ones, which nearly
broke the mules back, but failed, to
produce any tangible results in the
way Of increased speed Then as a
