ACID TEST OF POLlTENESS
Small Girls Act Might Almost BE
Said to Come Under the Head
of Heroism.

Frances was spending the day with
her friend, Jane Watkins. She had
taken one spoonful of the soup, says
Harper's Magazine, when something
floating ON top caught her eye. Was
it black pepper or was it black ant?
What should she do with it?
At that moment Frances close
scrutiny of her soup attracted the at
tention of Jane. In stage whisper,
plainly heard round the table, came
James ooh, mother There's an ant in
Frances soup!'
That was it, an ant. OF course Mrs.
Watkins would take the soup away.
How relieved Frances was!
1.-THE very idea An ant in her soup
am surprised at you, Jane 1t is pep
per-" said Mrs. Watkins severely, and
she looked reproachfully at both girls.
Through Frances mind flashed all
the instructions on pOliteness she had
ever heard never contradict your eld-
ers in all circumstances, be polite ;
table manners show ones breeding.
What must she do? Never contradict
your elders!" She spoke up at once,
trying her best to make her tone posi-
tive:
"Oh, yes think it is pepper"
"Of course 1t Is" said Mrs. Watkins.
Frances stirred her soup, hoping
James attention would be called away,
that she might catch the swimmer and
transfer it to the dinner plate. But
there was no such luck. Up came the
speck more like an ant than ever. Pep
per was one speck; here were two
specks close together 1t was an ant,
and Jane, persistency itself, leaned
over for one mere look and said:
ut is an ant"
Frances glanced hopefully at the
head of the table; but Mrs. Watkins
had not changed her opinion; it was
pepper. "Be polite" ran through her
brain again, and, taking up the spoon
full of soup upon which that suspicious
double fleck floated, Frances settled
the question forever before saying,
family:
ut was pepper. know by the
taste"

At Paris we have so far reached a
basis for settling the accounts out
standing between Germany and her
enemies. Not until Germany has paid
those debts shall We have a real set
Element. and Germany means to avoid
payment If she can.
AS to the League of Nations, it is,
so far, only an association between
three democracies, the French. Brit
ish, and our own, to preserve world
peace, to stand for certain ideas and
/ ideals, to urge and to champion the
idea of settlement of future differences
between nations by peaceful rather
than warlike methods, TO prevent the
recurrence of the recent world trag-
edy.
But so far the League of Nations
is no more than the ASSOCIATION of
these three nations, and it is nothing
if there be any break between these
three powers, any lessening of the
ties which necesstate close cooper
alton and complete understanding
AS it stands to-day, the League of
Nations means to France nothing
more, In fact, than an Anglo-trench
guarantee against new German at
tack. 1t means to Britain only the
promise of future AngloA
association in the world, closer than
any previous relation, an alliance
BASED upon common purpose and cont
mon ideals. There are those in both
countries who hope that it may be the
founda alton of a new order in the world,
vet even for them there is a clear per-
cepton that this can only be afteI
years, and there are few in either
country who do not believe that If
America now refuses this cooDeratfon
and association, then the outlook for
world peace and for civilization is
dark, indeed
Meantime, the task which remains
to be performed at Paris is not
merely the larger fraction of the
general task, which confronted the
Allied countries on the morning of the
Armistice eight months ago, but 1t IS
also the most momentous and difficult
task any body of statesmen have ever
had to undertake. Beside it the Con-
gress of Vienna was child's play. SO
far we have only made beginning,
and very modest beginning. The
main work is still to be done-From

The LEAGUE AND EUROPE
As Seen by F. G. Simonds, the Greatest
War Writer of the Day.

1t seems to me plain that the League
of Nations cannot Immediately, at all
events, whatever its machinery is or
may be, deal with the problems of
Europe directly.
On the other hand. an association
between the United States, France,
and Great Britain, based upon the
principles of the League of Nations,
destitute of any imperialistic ambitions
to be satisfied at the expense of other
countries, controlling the food supplies
of the world and the raw materials,
still possessing orderly government,
may exercise an enormous influence in
the world.
1t may we'll be that Italy. having
to choose between Germany on the one
hand and such a combination of the
den ocratic nations may, little by lit
tie, forget her present bitterness.
And with Italy joined to the western
nations, the menace of a new Ger
man coalition will be greatly minim-
lied.
Certainly until French men and
women, American men and women,
British men and women are willing
to send their sons to the Danube
the Carpathians and the Vistula, to
enforce decisions made by the League
of Nations, it will not be possible for
the League of Nations to prevent con-
fiicts between the races of Central
Europe, nor is it conceivable that the
tribes which have been fighting for
centuries for racial aspirations, will
at once surrender them bow to de-
cisions which are made by tribunal
without power to enfoce them.
Therefore, to believe that we have
made peace at Paris, up to the pre-
sent moment, seems to me to en-
courage a very dangerous illusion and
to believe that the League of Nations
can preserve world peace, while itself
relying upon moral suasion, is eqaully
a dangerous dream.

EGGS AGAINST MITES
How to Get Rid Of Mites and Lice and
Clean Up the Chicken House.

During the hot weather of July and
August we will have few eggs from
our farm poultry if mites and lice are
not kept under control. Lice live on
portions of the feathers, or on scales
from the skin. They can be controlled
by using small pinch of blue ointment
put on different parts of the body of
the fowl Immediately beneath the vent
and at the base OF the feathers. :
The mite can be controlled only by
the treatment Of the poultry houses.
Owing to the fact that mites feed dur
ing the night and 5ecrete themselves in
cracks and c1evices during the day,
their presence very often is overlooked.
A dip may be used as follows: Take a
wash tub andrtill it with rain water ;
to this add one,half teacup of any good
livestock dip that is kept by most any
good general store. No care need be
taken of the fowls eyes, as the. dip is
harmless in this respect. The fowls
should be thoroly dipped in order to
get every louise or mite that may be
hidden.
Dropping boards, perches, and nests
should be removed, then scalded and
saturated with crude oil and gasoline,
after which the interior of the house
should be thoroly white washed, using
l bushel of lime, 10 pounds of salt,
l quart of coal oil and crude carbolic
acid. The lime should be Stacked with
a small quantity of water, and follow
ing this the other mixture should be
added.
After the mixture is made it should
be run thru sieve to free it from
Jumps. 1t is thus fitted for use in a
spray pump. 1t pump is not avail
able a brush or broom may be used.
Care should be taken to cover the side
walls and ceiling, after which the floor
should be cleaned and the refuse de-
posted on the ground a considerable
distance from the premises. This
method will rid the farm entirely of
lice and mites.
All old ROSTERS shodld be given a
second treatment. They are the worst
lice and mite carriers of the flock.

Perhaps Snakes Couldn't Get There

Why are there no snakes In Ire
land? The answer is: Because
snakes had their cradle elsewhere and
couldn't cross the Irish sea. They
originated, apparently, in Asia and
spread easily over Europe, and got
across in considerable numbers into
Great Britain, by aid of a now sub
merged '1and bridge" but the Irish
sea was too deep for that kind of
bridge, and so snakes and toads never
reached the Emerald isle, and few
reptiles of any kind succeeded in get
ting there. 1t is an old saying that

now outnumber the white population

them as he can produce. The editorial

oriental man is able to arrogate to
himself the right to possess plural
