WILSON PLACES
LEAGUE AMONG
LEADING POINTS
Sees No Reason to Change View
After Four Days of Confer
ences-COnsiderable Headway
is Being Made.

Paris. Dec. 1S.-After four days of
gathering views of leaders in France,
President Wilson's closest advisers
say he has seen no reason to change
his belief that the foundation of
league of nations is inseparable from
the actual peace treaty itself.
These advisers say that the presi-
dent, in explaining his definition of
"the freedom of the seas" will reas-
sure Premier Lloyd George that he
has no intention of demanding a re-
duction of the British navy to a point
involving the unsafety of the empire,
but will emphasize his feeling that
the plan of a league will strengthen
the empire.
King Victor Emmanuel, who is ex-
pected to arrive Thursday, already
has been fully advised of the presi-
dents plans through conferences with
Count di Cellere, Italian ambassador
to the United States, but the president
will take the opportunity to make
personal explanations to the king and
also to make clear his friendliness to-
ward Italy.
The hope is expressed by those sur
rounding the president that the ex-
changes of views win clear away any
partial misunderstanding which may
exist in regard to Mr.. Wilson's atti-
tude and prepare the way for the as
semblage of the conference with COM
plexities removed, so that it will be
ready to deal with principles and any
outstanding differences of opinion
that remain.
In all his conferences the president
has taken opportunity to impress his
views, it is said, by those who are au
thorized to speak for him, that no ore
nation is entitled to assume the role
of master, or dictate the manner or
the conditions of the representations
of others.
There is some indication that con-
siderable headway is being made in
this direction and that the members
of the American mission are now see
ing their way clearly. All express the
conviction that delegates will enter
the conference in a spirit of accommo-
dation.

COTTON MARKET SHOWS
GREATER ACTIVITY

Little Rock, Dec. 19.-The cotton
movement is beginning to pick up
and the cotton market is showing
much greater activity than it has in
some time. 1t is selling around 2S
cents, several cents off what it was
some time ago, and the holding move
ment seems to be loosening up. Re-
ceipts to date are about 10000 bales,
which is several thousand short of the
corresponding period last year.
The u. S. Bureau of Market in con-
junction with the State Department
of Agriculture, has up to date classed
$4,000 bales, and three men are at
work regularly, classing 1900 bales
daily. They are now keeping up with
the daily receipts of samples, and are
making progress on those that have
been accumulating.

NEWSPAPERS BIG
AID in HELPING
BETTER FARMING
Quarter of Million Dollars in
Space Contributed During the
Past Year--FOrty Thousand
Club Members.

Hot Springs, Ark, Dec. 1S.-A
marter of million dollars is the Ar
kansas newspaper contribution for
better agriculture, and during the
mast year, according to B. C. Riley, of
the University of Arkansas, who in
speaking to the county agents at their
annual meeting, said:
ARKANSAS newspaper men have
enabled our state to secure one of the
largest extension forces in the south
by showing the people the value of the
county and the home demonstration
work. They have published 6,702 col
mns of agricultural information and
thousands of columns of agricultural
news during the past year. This has
given a great impetus to our agri-
cultural growth and community and
state progress. Two hundred and fif-
ty thousand dollars is very conserva-
tive estimate Of the value of the space
used. The people Of the state should
remember that space is the newspaper
mans only commodity for sale and
every inch of paper costs him real
money. Business men, bankers and
farmers must more fully appreciate
what the newspapers are doing and
the value OF, their aid in working for a
greater Arkansas"
j. H. Mcleod, leader in livestock
extension, said: Arkansas must have
sire clubs in each community and pure
bred sires everywhere to grade up the
i've stock of the state. Plenty of food
and feed must be produced and farm
ers will find high grade feeders profit
able when sold to northern grain pro-
ducers."
w. j. Jernigan, state leader of boys
and girls club work, reported that
there We're forty thousand agricul-
tural club members in the state. Fif-
teen thousand are in the various boys
clubs, ten thousand in the girls clubs
under the supervision of the home
demonstration agents, who have also
enrolled five thousand in the women's
clubs and ten thousand in the emerg-
ency clubs.

Letters From France.

Two letters were recently receiv-
ed by Mrs. Geo. Spencer from her son,
Roy Patterson, Webster City boy
now with the Rainbow division in
France. The first letter was written
May Goth and the following is taken
from it:
Dear Mother: Well, it's Sunday,
and pay day to boot. That is the day
when the old man comes around
with the little brown travelling bag
filled with francs. He hands you a
soap wrapper" or two, then it's a
big time for about two days and then
you are through for another month.
We are just getting paid for April; a
little late. Most of the boys thought
the third liberty loan was a failure.
Say, how does this sound? We
are in the trenches and have been
there for over three months. Some
people thought We were at a rest
camp, but that's all wrong.
IF you go to see the moving pic
lures of my division look at the gang
putting up camouflage twice, for l
am there on the short ladder.
when We get to rest camp l will
be allowed to write and tell you the
name of the town l am in now"
The following extract is from a
letter written June l:
Just line to let you know that l
am WE'LL l received two letters from
you last night, one dated the 9th of
May, the other the 10th.
II suppose you have heard about
the increase in our death list the past
week. They only got one boy from
Webster City, but put a few in the

has over here are his rifle and his
