PICK JOHNSON
and HITCHCOCK
Political CIairvoyants Point to
/ Californian and NebraSkan
as Logical Candidates.

Washington, Nov. 22,-Q. N. 81
Senator Hiram johnson, of Callfor-
mia, and Gilbert NJ Hitchcock, OF
Nebraska, are today being pointed
out by political clairvoyants here as
the logical candidates for the presi-
dc ICY in 1920 on the republican and
democratic tickets.
This vision is the result of the turn
in the battle over the peace treaty in
the senate and the subsequent II eli
nation of party leaders to make the
questions which hinge on the ratifi-
cation or nonratihcatio of the treaty
as the principal issue of the coming
race to the White House
throughout the closing ehours of
the debate over the pact in the SEN
ate there were evidences that both
sides were not unmindful o the fact
tn. the treaty might Ultimately be-
come the main point in dispute dur
in; the coming national elections.
Senator Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio,
flung the challenge at the republican
side of the senate, saying in effect
that if the republicans fanted to
stand pat against the ratification of
the treaty the democrats would meet
them at Philippi on that issue.
Senator Lodge N a statement just
issued concerning the peace treaty
and the action of tie senate in de-
feating the measure in the special
session, said:
~"There is no room for further COM
promise between Americanism and
tn. supergovefnment presented by
the league of nations"
Furthermore he directly stated that
"al | ask now is that we may have
the opportunity to lay those resolu-
tions Jefore the American people"
and admits that he desires to carry
the issue into the coming campaign.
Senator Oscar w. Und rwood, of
: ALBANIA. in the last hours of the de-
bate Wednesday fired a broadside at
the republicans after the first vote
on ratification had been taken up in
passionate speech he flung out at
his opponents:
"The republican party $ respon-
sitle to the people of the United
State3 for the peace of nations"
Answering Senator Underwood,
Senator Warren G. Harding. of Ohio,
c 6-clared the American people will
read the fourteen reservations which
in his opinion stand for Americanism
an many Americans would be
p,eased and delighted to subscribe to
all they express.

Community Spirit

A person has community spirit
when he realizes how his own success
and welfare and enjoyment depend
upon the prosperity and well being of
his whole community, and ne must be
willing to take hold with his neighbors
in joint efforts for the benefit of the
whole community.
People used to devote nearly their
entire attention to working for their
own success. By constant hustle,
they might be able to get ahead of
less energetic neighbors, and get a lit
tie more than their share of the gen
eral prosperity.
But when a man rises to the point
of community spirit, he sees that if
he merely tries to outstrip his compel
itors, he is never going to get very far.
They are going to be stirred up TO out
eat dog" kind of life.
When group Of men get commun-
ity spirit, and begin to work not only
to get business away from each other,
but to get more business for the whole
group and the whole town, then the
good returns begin to flow in. They
gain benefits they could never have
attained by working individually,
amply compensating them for all the
time put into community enterprises.
Community spirit frequently begins
by general agreement to work CO.
operatively for business enterprise
but if it is the real thing it never ends
there. It works for all good town
causes, and IS never satisfied until the
town is equipped with all the facilities
which place of the size can expect.
If we can promote that spirit here in
Pocahontas, we shall accomplish re-
suits that once would have seemed
visionary.-Record, Pocahontas, Ia.

Red Cross Rules That Drive is Ex-

Red Cross Rules That Drive is Ex-
clusively for Memberships
The Red Cross will not become a
party to local or community "war
chests" according to an announce
ment issued recently by Alfred Fair
bank, Manager of the Southwestern
Division of the Red Cross. The de-
cision follows a recent ruling of the
Central Committee of the American
Red Cross and is based upon the fact
that the Forthcoming Red Gross drive,
November to IL, is to be campaign
for individual, not wholesale, mem
berships.
Chapter chairmen of the Red Cross
Chapters throughout Missouri, Kan
sas, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas
have sent the following notification
by Manager Fairbank:
"The Central Committee of the
American Red Cross has announced
that Red Cross Chapters should not
become parties to any local war chests
or community war chests inasmuch
as it's Third Roll Call is primarily a
call for Red Cross membership.
GAS the Red Cross does not plan
a wide general campaign for funds
this year, the objection to the use
of the Red Cross name in connection
with such movements is more strong
ly emphasized than ever. Not only
the success of the coming campaign
but the future of the Red Cross will
be largely dependent upon full in
dividual membership enrolment.
Through direct membership cam
paign it is possible for the Red Gross
to gain the loyal and enthusiastic sup
port of thousands of individuals to
whom it must look for its future serv-
ice. Only, insofar as each member
feels that the achievements of the Red
Cross are made possible through this
individual support will it be possible
to carry on as comprehensive and far
reaching a program as that upon
which the organization now is enter
ing. The acquisition of every Loyal
member of the Red Cross forms bull
wark of strength far surprising any
possible good that could be gained
through general money donations.
''It would, therefore, be detrimen-
tai to the spirit and policy of the Red
Cross to seek wholesale membership.
through war or community chests
The use of the Red Cross name il
connection with such movements

Sink a Fortune in Drilling for Oil


Belvidere, Oct. 6.-After expend-
ing $4,000 in the effort to find>oil
or gas near here, the Pratt County
Gas & Oil Development Co. has given
it up.
The company has voted to abandon
the work, wind up affairs and liquid
ate. The Belvidere well has been
drilled to a depth of $3.50 feet. The
company has unlimited faith in the
venture, and while the indications
still point to a successful termination
the stock holders have concluded to
wind up the affairs of the company
and abandon the enterprise.
The company is composed largely
of Pratt county men and every effort
was made to develop the prospect.
Owing to the immense cost of addi-
tional work, the stockholders con-
cluded to convert the property and
material into cash, pay off the in
debtedness and take their loss philos-
ophically.
