tax His Herculean
Strength.

On Board President Wilson's Spe
cial Train.-Ill from overexertion on
his long tour for the peace treaty,
President Wilson has cancelled the
speaking dates remaining on his
schedule and turned back toward
Washington.
The President acted under orders
from his personal physician. Dr. Cary
II. Grayson, who said in formal state
ment that Mr. Wilson was suffering
from nervous exhaustion" and that
while his condition was not alarming,
a considerable period of rest would
be necessary for his recovery"
After few days at the capital, the
President may go to some secluded
rest resort for a complete vacation
from his official cares, which have
occupied his attention continuously
for many months. A plan for Mr..
Wilson to go to New York to vel.

Belgium, virtually has been abandoned
but the President expects to receive
the nations visitor later at the White
House. All other engagements for
the immediate future have been can.
celled.
Dr. Grayson's statement follows:
president Wilson's condition is due
to overwork. The trouble dates back
to an attack of influenza last April in
Paris. from which he has never en-.
tirely recovered. The Presidents ac.
tivities on this trip have overtaxed
his strength and he is suffering from
nervous exhaustion. His condition is
not alarming, but it will be necessary
for his recovery that he have rest
and quiet for considerable time.

ENcEAU SEES VERY LITTLE
STRENGTH IN PEACE COVE
NANT NOW.
HAS BRITISH AMERICAN PACT
French Premier Declares That Fra nee q
Alliance With America and
Britain 10 Necessary
for Years.

Paris.-In an explanation to the
chamber Of deputies. Premier Glenn
enceau, after declaring that the League
OF Nations could exist even though re-
jected by the United States senate, as
serted that 1t was precisely because
the French felt that the League of Ma
tions was an insufficient guarantee
for some years to come that the pro.
tective treaties of alliance between
France, Great Britain and the United
States were drawn up.
The vote in the United States sen
ate, postponing consideration of one
OF the amendments, is regarded here
as significant and caused surprise in
the French chamber. Louis Barthou
repeatedly asked the government for
explanations.
Andre Tardieu and NJ Pinchon, the
foreign minister replied. but the cham
ber was not satisfied. Premier Clei =
enceau then said:
Should the United States reject
the League Of Nations, two treaties OF
alliance between France and Great
Britain and France and the United
States exist. Nevertheless, 1t was pre-.
cisely because we felt that the League
of Nations was an insufficient guaran.
tee for some years to come that these
treaties were drawn up. The League
of Nations for the present has nothing
to do with the Franco -British-American
treaties, which constitute sufficient
guarantees for France"
If you are seeking to adjourn the
debate until America ratif1es the
treaty" he said, you may do so, but
you shall do so without u.s."

As a nation we waste enough corn
10 supply several European nations
with bread. Much of this waste is
due to poor shocking.
Corn is put into shocks for the
purpose OF protecting the stover and
grain from rain or snow until 1t
dries and can be husked and stored
by little care in building tn ,-shocks
and in tying them high near their
tops GOOD protection Is affo, oe! both
grain "hd stoYci 1! the stalks OF
ZACH urrlload d1 ~; slant IN one
done high up near the top, the shock
is very apt to twist. Tying near the
middle does not prevent twisting
tying near the top does.
Equal distribution of the arm loads
of corn around a shock is important.
An equal distribution, with all the
stalks slanSHg toward the center,
forms conical storm-proof shock,
having each cornstalk acting as a
brace to hold the shock erect. With
more weight of corn on one side than
on the opposite side. the shock is
likely to lean or go down. Twisted
and down shocks are difficult to
handle and to husk. AS such shocks
do not shed water, both grain and
stover often spoil.
Good shocking is such simple
matter that II receives little attention.
Experienced corn cutters usually
build good shocks. inexperienced
help often feels disinclined to take
instructions regarding such simple
work, and II of uninterested, careless
dispositions, an. experienced person
should work with them and make
sure that the armloads are properly
placed. Without such supervision,
inexperienced help often proves much
worse than no help at all. Very
poorly built shocks afford no protec-
ton; on the contrary they hold water,
prevent drying and thereby hasten
and increase the waste of food.
This fall each individual should
prevent waste of food by good shock
ing and an enormous waste can be
prevented. If any corn shocks twist
or go down. they should be husked
and stored before the grain and sto-
yer commence to spoil.

Prepare. Gifts Now For Spring Breed
ing,

Help the gifts now to develop and
get in condition for breeding next
spring. BY early August. in practi
cally all sections of the country, the
gifts narrowed last spring and selected
for future breeding work are all
weaned and ready to be primed for
next seasons work.
A brood SOW to be conditioned
properly should be in such flesh az
breeding time that she will gradually
increase her weight according to nor
NAL and natural development from
that period until the date of farrow-
ing. In order to maintain her in de-
sirable condition, she must be sup
piled with plenty of protein. Whole
oats fed in a self-feeder is an excellent
nutrient for growing gifts. In addi-
ton, the young females should have
access to good forage crops such as
alfalfa, clover, rape. rye, or any of
the other small grains. A small al
iowance of corn is also advisable.
Shorts or middlings can De led with
considerable success. A oonlbina-
