ABOUT PEACE TREATIES


 As rule formal ratification of a peace treaty is expected and neces- sary to make it valid.
 Peace treaties are usually written by hand throughout, sealed by many seals and bound with green silk rib bon.
 Peace treaties bind the signatory powers either when they are signed or when they are ratified They bind individuals when they receive news that such treaties have been made.
 The rulers of the signatory powers don't affix their seals or signatures to peace treaties entered into by them. This important formality is carried out by specially accredited peace commissioners.
 Each nation entering into peace agreement is bound by all of the terms agreed upon by it's peace com missioners, provided it cannot be not expressly violate the instructions given them.
 The effect of a peace treaty is to put an end not onlyeto war, but also to all complaints relating to the subject for which war was under taken. A new war can be undertak- en for similar causes of complaint, but not for the same. The peace is an oblivion or amnesty of all past difficulties.
 Latin originally was the language in which all peace treaties involving Christian powers were written. Later French was generally adopted as the language for such agreements, but now adays it is customary for copies of the treaty to be prepared in the language of each of the signatory powers
 Each signatory power is given an original copy of the peace treaty. In addition, it is customary to make and sign several certified copies of the treaty for convenience. The original copies are kept securely locked up in the archives of the different countries, While the ceru- fled copies are used for printing and reference.
 It is customary for each copy of a peace treaty to begin with the words, Tn the name of the most holy and undivided trinity" It is also customary. however, to make exceptions in the case of Turkey and other Mohammedan countries, the copies of their treaties being al tered to read: Tn the name of Allah the almighty God" Peace treaties are not written straight across the page, or pages, like ordinary documents. They are

WAR RATIONS CANNOT BE BLAM. ED FOR LOSS OF FLESH,
 SAY AUTHORITIES

According to leading authorities it is no longer necessary for thin, fran people to give up hope of becoming strong and healthy. The discovery of Irogen, they say, has demonstrat- ed the fact that thinness is caused by a lack of the nourishment which nature requires for the building of flesh and strength, and which it is now known lrogen supplies.
 This new discovery, they point out has been proven, after exhaustive ex. periments and tests, to be one of the most important made in modern times, inasmuch as it's results are permanent, and unlike the so-called tonics, which only stimulate.
 One physician declares that thin people need not put the blame for their excessive thinness and lack of endurance powers upon the present restrictions and conservation of food stuffs. for food alone cannot build flesh, if the blood itself is not prop erly nourished. There is more than enough food nowadays, he contends, but nature requires something more

we'll as for sport. Germany, for in- stance. might readily build a fleet of many thousand planes for commercial purposes. Almost overnight these planes could be transformed into bombing and battle planes.
 Could France or England take chance on going on without protection against possible air raids? Could they afford to risk the destruction of Paris and London by trusting in the effectiveness of general disarma- ment?
 Such possibilities as those of air craft must be carefully considered. by the allies before they decide on the terms of peace and on their own policies after the war. It must be their earnest desire to end the war on such terms as shall insure the peace of the world as long as pos sible. But they cannot ignore the actualities of the situation and per init hopes to obscure facts.-Kansas City Times

AIRCRAFT AFTER THE WAR

In the single month of July, 1918 more explosives were dropped on the German lines by airplanes than dur. ing the whole year 1917. That sim pie statement is an indication of the greatly increasing importance of air craft in the war
 Tanks and aircraft have become the two big auxiliaries to the work of the infantry and artillery. Not only are airplanes reducing the out put of German industrial districts and impairing the morale of the peo- pie by night bombardments, they are also taking an active part in army operations Recent Paris correspond. ence tells of aircraft operations on August 23 in connection with the Brit rons of low flying planes shared di- rectly in the attack, picking off Ger man infantry and transports and can non. The cavalry of the air is re- ported to have worked the greatest confusion in the enemy forces
 Here is novel weapon that is only now in process of development to its full military value. What is to be its effect on the problem of dis armament after the war?
 There will certainly be a large de- mand for planes for commercial pur- poses. They will be used in post routes and often for fast transporta- tion in the place of special trains as

NO SUDDEN DROP
 IN FOOD PRICES
IMMEDIATE DECREASES CANNOT BE EXPECTED, SAYS FOOD AD- MINlSTRAToR HERBERT HooV- FIR

Washington, Nov. 11.-Immediate dropping of food prices as a result of the conclusion of an armistice can not be expected, Food Administrator Hoover said tonight, and added that while the prices of some foodstuffs will decrease, others will increase.
 With the war effectually over" said MT. Hoover. i've enter a new economic era and it's immediate eff fects on prices is difficult to antici- pate. The prices of some food com modities may increase, but others will decrease, because with liberated shipping accumulated stocks in the southern hemisphere and the Far East will be, available. The demands upon the United States will change in character, but not in volume"
 All activities of the food admins tration will continue through the armistice period, said MT. Hoover, adding that there will be no relaxa- tion of efforts to keep down profiteer ing to the last moment"
 "The maintenance of the embargo be continued, will prevent depletion of our stocks by hungry Europe be- low our necessities and anyone who contemplates speculation in food against the needs of these people can well be warned of the prompt action of the government"

BETTER FARMING HINTS
Arkansas Farmers Being Duped


 Look out for the exceptional bar gains when buying stock. Buy only from reliable breeders and pay fair price. This is a suggestion to Arh- ansas farmers by w. c. Lesseter, of the Agricultural Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, who says:
 ''It has been reported that inferior pedigreed livestock is being sold to unsuspecting Arkansas people. These animals are sure to be unsatisfact- ory and often are not as good as high grade stock which can often be purchased at home. In ordering by mail the quality of the animal eX- pected for the price paid should be specified, and then upon arrival, il the stock is scrubby, out of condition and not up to the standard of the quality asked for report the facts to the county agent"
 Arkansas farmers should patronize Arkansas breeders as far as possible and in buying from a distance they ucdI Wltl pCOplC lhcy hIOW about, and have every reason to be- lieve will treat them right.
 A list of Arkansas breeders can be secured by writing to the Exten- sion Division at Fayetteville.
