ENORMOUS JAIL.

Document as dreadful and
Murderous."
REMARKS ARE CHEEREO
Philip Schedemann Charges Deceps
ton on the Part of President Will
son and His Abroqaton of His
Promised Fourteen Points.

Berlin, May 15-The German chan
cellor, Philip Scheidemann, has fol
lowed the lead taken by President
Ebert.
In a statement to the national as
sembly, couched in language more
forcible than that Of Ebert, Scheide'
mann asserted that the peace terms
are not acceptable to Germany.
Cheering from all the factions in the
chamber, excepting from the benches
of the Independent Socialists, greeted
the chancellor as he characterized the
treaty as a dreadful and murderous"
document which would make an enor-
nous Jail of Germany in which Co.,
100000 peoples would have to labor
for the victors in the war. The speaker
charged deception on the part of Presi-
dent Wilson and the abr0gation of his
promised IA points.
It is reported that Scheidemann has
been informed by the leaders Of the
two democratic parties and OF the
parties of the Center that these fac
tons will withdraw their representa-
tives from the government if the peace
treaty is signed
Meantime the German plenipoten-
tiaries at Versailles are continuing
their work of assimilating the terms
of the treaty and formulating such
protests as they desire to make, while

Farm Bureau Notes.

Never in the history of the Deca-
tur County farm bureau has OPP
portunity knocked at the door of the
farmer as it did to day.
The drive for the new members is
scheduled for the Sth of Dec, and
we hope to see 1900 members signed
up for next year.
This will be one of the largest CO.
operative movements that the farm
and with the new membership
practically assured, it is possible for
untold accomplishments. With all
the unrest that is prevalent at the
present time the farmer faces SER
ious charge of being profiteer, and
unorganized as he is and has been,
he can not successfully combat the
indictment.
Some may scott anu sheer at the
idea of the farmer being a profiteer,
but stop and consider, put yourself
in the consumers shoes, suppose you
are entirely ignorant of the cost
OF production of farm products, just
as the consumer is in the majority
of cases how do you suppose it
would appeal to you when you. are
asked to pay from four to six times
for from the farm? Then how, are
you going to face the problem?
What is the answer? We say organ
ization is the answer and a greater
cooperation with all classes. Get
your production cost before the
public, show Mr.. Consumer where
the dollar he spends for his farm
products goes too, through organ
iZatiOn and cooperation.
When the truth is presented to
the consumer it will be revelation
to him anda long stride toward elm
nation of a big misunderstanding
between producer and consumer.
Did you ever stop to think that
the indictment of the farmer as a
profiteer is absolutely groundless
from every fact that he is class OF
individual producer and absolutely
unorganized at the present time.
He has no chance or anything to
say whatever what. his products shall
fellow that is organized tells him
that. He takes what the other fell
low offers, and buys it back for what
the other fellow asks. Profiteer-
ing could not exist then for there is
no price established or set until it
gets into the other fellows hands,
He wishes to say to you Mr.. Farmer
that if representatives or other lines
of business would follow the same
tactics in business that you do they
would all be BANKRUPT in less than
a short twelve months.
No other business but the farm
could stand such jolts and survive.
Why if packers, merchants and deal
ers, would attempt to peddle their
wares asking for prices to be set
upon them you would think they
were crazy, yet you have been pur-
suing this same course in business
all along.
The time has come when you
must turn round. Organize The Oh
nortunity will be offered you to join
the farm bureau next week. and
don't hesitate. help make this
strong organization, and take adj
vantage of the cOoneration offered
you by your government.

SENATE WISHES
BANKERS HEARD
Hold Up Recon6rmation Of
John Shelton Williams
Pending Hearing.

Republican Senators insisted yes

Williams Is reconfirmed as Comp
troller of the Currency. officials of
the Riggs National Bank and the
Guaranty Trust Company, of New
York, be heard as to alleged unfair
treatment at the hands of the Comp
troller's office.
Williams challenged Senator
Weeks to site a single case of un-
fairness. Senator Mclean, Connecti-
cut came to the defense of Weeks,
who was absent.
II understand Senator Weeks did
present what he thought was such
evidence" Mclean said and backed
up Weeks request that the banks
be requested to appear in their own
behalf.
Williams objected to introduction
in the record of letters criticising
the Comptroller without including
the names of the writer's.
There are many bankers opposed
to your denomination who are afraid
to make their opposition publicly"
Mclean replied. He added that If
there was the least inclination on
the part of the Comptroller to be
dictatorial and to run his Office on
harsh lines. any banker could be
, made to suffer.
Democratic Senators disputed this.
