Some machine made laces do not suf-

caring for. Ordinary laundering is
out Of the question for them; they
must be handled carefully. Now that
the touch Of real lace is a mark Of

have to be sent to the cleaner or
cleaned at home, in order to reappear
In milady's outfit for the new season.
Lace should be soaked before 1t Is
washed. Prepare the water for this
soaking by adding a teaspoonful Of
borax to every two cupfuls Of boiling
water used. When the soiled lace has
soaked few hours or; overnight in
this water 1t will wash easily.

Lingerie laces may be ironed by

AN ALLIANCE WITH FRANCE

The already complicated problem
of the peace treaty becomes still
more intricate and perplexing by thu
addition of the special agreement
with France which the president is
to submit to the senate.
This tentative agreement provides
that the United States shall be bound
to come Immediately to the aid OF
France in case of any unprovoked
act of aggression directed against
her by Germany" A similar agree
ment has been drawn up between
France and Great Britain. Thus
America and Great Britain. if they
ratify this pact will stand together
a. guarantors of French safety
against any possible attack hereafter
like that OF 1914.
Many Americans who are ardent
advocates of the league will hesitate
against any such binding pledge to
stand as the defender of particular
country.
It is argued that this is an obli-
cation that would devolve upon Brit
ain and America anyway under the
provisions of the league OF nations.
1t is intended, clearly enough. SIM
ply to reasure the French, who will
have more faith in such a direct
pledge than they seem to have at
present in the league From the Am
erican standpoint. however, it is
open to the objection that it appears
to constitute a definite alliance with
q particular country, thus being op-
posed to the oldest and strongest
diplomatic tradition of the United
States. &
Americans generally have taken
the stand that the only thing which
will make foreign alliance tolerable
Is an alliance with all foreign coun-
tries at once, such as the league of
nations contemplates. That would
avoid the rivalries and special inter-
ests bound to grow out of any alli-
ance with an individual nation or
limited group Of nations, which is
the thing against which George
Washington delivered his celebrated
warning.
There is no question as to the
American attitude toward France.
The United States would probably be
glad to fight for France again, II
need arose, for the love and grati-
tude they bear that country. It
would probably be true again, too, as
it was in this war. that in defending
France we should be indirectly de-
tending ourselves. But 1t is doubtful
whether the nation is ready to give
a formal pledge to this effect.
William Jennings Bryan says of
the proposed agreement with
France:
II am not in favor OF an alliance
with any country. An alliance would
discredit the league OF nations. It
would proclaim lack OF faith in the
effectiveness OF the league and would
;be destructive force working from
within against the perpetuity of the
league"

CITY ELECTION
Ordinances Published Calling for Sew
eral Special Elections in COnnec-
tion With the Regular City
Election on April LIST.

Ordinances were passed on first
reading by the city council on Monday
evening for the purpose of calling
special elections in connection with the
city election on April l to vote on
several important issues. One is the
question of the city building and own
ing its own electric light and power
plant. On this proposition all
voters who are taxpayers can vote.
Another is to issue bonds in the sum
of $4,000 for building the plant, and
on this proposition only voters who
have paid taxes in the past year can
vote. A third proposition is to sell a
lot on South Main street, which the
city owns but has no use for, to j. r.
Stinson for the sum of 5000. Again
only taxpayers can vote. The Register
believes all three propositions should
carry by a practically unanimous vote.
The light, heat and power situation in
Lamar has reached the point where
are almost unbearable, and
must be done at once to
break the grip that the electric mon
opoly has on the town. The voters are
getting SO many practical demonstra-
tions of utter inefficiency from the
company that no further argument is
needed to convince them that only
city owned plant can the
grip be broken.

preventative ticket of citizens and go

front in the fight to free the city from

mar to control their own improvements

this week. and will have all the power
of Speaker Cole backed by the solid
Denver delegation in the house. Its
prospects for passing are splendid and
il it does go through Lamar will be
free to go ahead with its plans for
building its own light and power plant.

viii Barberry Eradication End Stem
Rust?

This question was asked DR.. E. M.
Freeman, dean Of Agriculture at the
University of Minnesota.
1--WE don't know" replied DR.. Free
man. "In all probability some rust
will still be with us after the barberry
is gone. But this we do know: The
barberry spreads the rust. 1t is the
only plant that does spread it so. 1t
starts it in the early spring, develops
it before the wheat stalks are hardly
out Of the ground, multiplies it by the
thousands of millions and scatters it
broadcast to find the wheat. There
is no doubt about the role the bar
berry plays"
With the barberry gone there is
only one other method for the stem
rust to propagate itself. That is by
the "wintering over" of the red sum-
mer spores produced on the wheat.
Whether or not these live thru the
winter in sufficiently large numbers
to be a menace is still much dis
puted question. This mass of evidence
indicates that the greatest part, in
fact almost all cases of early spring
infection, occur near barberries and
that the disease comes from the bar
berries to the grain. Actual expert
ences, especially in Denmark where
barberries were eradicated in 1908,
also points to this conclusion. Den
mark has been freed from rust cpl
denies. Only few local outbreaks
have occurred since 1908 and in each
of these isolated barberries were
found near the outbreak. Ask the
Danes if barberry eradication is
worth while.-E. L. Sargent, Colorado

Here Again! Gone ARaini

President Wilson is on the ocean
bound for this country and has called
the senate committees to meet him at
the White House on February 26, so
he can tell them what he wants them
to do and he can get away again by
March 3. Evidently the glitter of
royalty and gold plate to eat off of
are to him like the white lights of
Broadway to a rube. Once tasted he
just can't leave it for long at time.
There are many indications that the
senate is not going to take its orders
as peacefully as it has in the past, and
it doesn't take an experienced eye to
see rough shedding ahead for the Pres
ident's pet ideas.

A Good Crop to Grow.

In discussing the many uses of am
ber cane, which can be grown to per-
fection in this portion of the Arkansas
valley, the Pueblo Opinion says:
amber cane is one of the most
profitable crops that the farmer can
grow on a small scale. 1t is rich in
sugar, syrup, seed and ensilage. 1t
grows big tonnage, which utilized
to the limit will produce good return
per acre. The writer had big ex-
perience with amber cane and its by
products in 1879 and 1880 in Wiscon-
sin, where amber cane was developed
to its capacity. In 1880 there were
