HOW ONE BOY is DOING HIS BIT

Small johnson county boy has q
gaot and cart. Each morning he har
nesses the goat to the cart, loads in
the milk that is not needed for his
brohers and sisters, and starts for
the cheese factory nearly mile away
There he turns the milk over to ths
eheesemaker who weighs it and gives
him credit for the correct amount.
Being a business fellow he seldom
stays long at the factory, but drives
around to the whey barrels where the
goat is taught to stand unit. the can
is filled with whey. The whey is used
to feed pigs.
Last year this boy hauled nearly
$500 worth of milk to the factory
in five months and he had the milk
from only one cow. This year he has
three cows. The milk this boy hauled
last year made cheese equivalent in
food value to the beef in the ration
of soldier for one year.

N. Prilaski, leader of the Jewish

for freedom but friction between the
Poles and Jews began again."

General Crowder declared that the
selective service law had enabled the

readiness to entrain on Nov. IL, when
the armistice was signed, 2,00V,O 900

aggressiveness and initiative of the
most seasoned troops.

PEACE MEET TO
BE- HARMONIOUS |
WILSON THINKS
Impossible to Start Confer
ences Before New Year, 1t Is
Demonstrated.
(By the Associated Iress)

Paris, Monday, Dec. 16-After the
conferences he has had in Paris, and
personal examination he has made
into the situation here, President
Wilson has come to understand full
ly why the peace conference cannot
get under way before the first of the
year. The mere physical proposition
of getting the American delegates to-
the conference settled in offices is a
tremendous job. The presidents Wis
it to the troops and his review OF
them in Paris that is planned will be
entirely out of the way by the first
Of the year. Meanwhile the inform
al conferences which mean so much
and decide so much in laying the
ground work for such a task as is be-
fore the peace conference will con-
tinue to make progress.
From the presidents point of view
1t is indicated there are plain things
to be said and he wants to say them
and avoid antagonism, because, not
withstanding all the points to be
taken up and upon which wide diver
sions of opinion have been expressed
as represents the public opinion in
England and France, the president
is confident that an acceptable agree
ment will be reached between the
United States and the entente before
the peace conference adjourns. 1t
is recalled diplomatic history shows
that conferences of this kind usually
II not invariably, assemble without a
definite program and that such con-
ferences never accomplish precisely
down to the last detail what is ex-
pected of them, but always accomp-
lish something, The Americans ia
miliar with the history of diplomacy
of such conference, are convinced
that it will not, be any exception to
the rule. -.
President Wilson's health continues
good. He has completely shaken off
the cold which followed him to
Europe.
