Thus the beginning of a balance
of power--a thing which the league
was to avoids created at the out

The situation may be met grad
ually later by admitting one or both
of these powers into the inner group.
On this no official assurance ex-
lists, though some members of the
Peace Conference recognize the
danger of excluding both Germany
and Russia.

Prospect of Outside Combine"

At present it is difficult to include
either power because of internal
conditions in Russia, and because
peace is not yet made with Ger
many.
The danger of the league unques-
tionably exists in the future crea-
tion of balance of power. Taking
in one of these powers probably will
not meet the situation, because that
one power, if in a minority of an
inner group, inevitably would form
a combination with the other big
power excluded.
SO, therefore, on the practical
side, it has been impossible to real
izc the ideals of democracy through
the world. if that was the ideal ami
mating Mr.. Wilson, and equally i'm
possible to assure against the de-
velopment Of balance of power
situation.

The strike in New York harbor has

on that way before
The old maid aunt had seen him carry on
lust that way every time he was ever bathed,
however. and she couldn't understand why
mama insisted that he loved his bath. But not
being n mother, she wasn't expected to under
stand: mothers understand many things that
other fclxs do not.
AT any rate when the shades of evening had
fallen and the supper dishes put away, lit
tie tired busy-body crawled up into his mamas
lap and buried matted head of brown beneath
her arm. Tell me story" he plead, 'jes one
wee little story an I'll go to seep.' And then
as Golden Hair got away from the old bear
house and ran back to her mama, Tommy tired
for the last time to keep his droopy blue eyes
open. but they closed in spite of all and he
wandered off into Dreamland.
How velvety were his cheeks as mothers lips
touched them a farewell for the night, how
softly his long, beautiful eye-lashes pressed
against his face, how innocent the smile that
rested on his lips like a sunbeam playing In
the heart of lily.
Do you wonder that she understood, that she
always overlooked pardoned and lovedY y,
there is nothing that binds like those invisible,
tender cords of gold running between the soul
of mother and the soul Of her child God In
stalls them there to carry back and forth the
hottest sentiment with which he besses earth.

ended there.
Finally Uncle John got up from the table one
morning, after eating six of the latest biscuits
and all the leanest pork and declared that he
was going to get busy fixing the machine. Ad-
iusting his iron-rmmed spectacles and pulling
on n pair of blue overalls, he commenced FUN

MAKES MONEY ON FARM
Another interesting character in the Ranger
pool is D. r. MYERS who owns a sixty-two-acre
farm between Eastland and Ranger. Mr.. MYERS
came TO this county ten years ago with nothing
but wife and doctors bill Today he owns
his small farm and has bank stock in nearly
every bank in Eastand He did not make all
of his money out of oil. either. He practiced
diversified farming and during the years OF
drouth made as much as $4,000 per acre from
many of his acres.
There are hundreds of other men who have
done equally as WE'LL And then there are others
who came into the oil fields without any special
purpose but TO work early and late and these,
too have invariably succeeded in making money

The old Singer needed fixing; there was no
doubt about that, for the thread knotted in the
bobbin, the needles would break as fast as YOU
could put them in and the carburetor seemed to
be choked with sand. Pa suggested that the
sewing machine repairer who was in the neigh
borhood be employed to do the work, but ma
wouldn't hear to that She said he was moth
ing but fake who had fought IN the Yankee
army. Furthermore, she declared he believed
in predestination and few other foolish things
that our religion didn't teach.

His hair was brown, his eyes were blue and
he was the boss. Papa called him Tom but
mama insisted that il was Tommy. Al any

when this four-year-old tot was up ana gong
He could get into more different scrapes IN one
afternoon than a meddesome puppy. Some
times he would tie big sisters detachable curls

that he ought to be hung, that she never saw
such mean little rascal in her whole born
DAYS; but mother didn't think that way by any
means. Tommy was real little angel TO her
and she wouldn't have it otherwise
"Does he fuss about taking his BATH visi-
tor asked one day. 90 no, Tommy Just loves
his bath he's certainly awful sweet about tax
ing it: he wants to be clean and just can't stand
to have any dirt N him." she said. But after
awhile the young hopeful came popping IN at
the back door; he had mud from the top Oh
his head to the sole of his feet and presented
a picture of anything but cleanliness What
on earth have you been into, SON. asked his

The good neighbor of my boyhood WAS the
one who kept hog and when he killed II he
would bring you over few joints of the back
bone and some spare ribs and just to show HIM
that you were appreciative you would hunt up
several back numbers of old magazines and
newspapers and let him take them home in re-
turn for the gift.
The neighbor of today, perhaps, has the
same interest in you, but he considers 1t old
fashioned TO divide his pork. He doesn't want
his left hand TO know what his right hand does,
and as It is so hard to keep things from getting
out these modern times he eats up all the
backbone and extends his brotherly love merely
by confessing few of your sins to the preacher
and asking that preacher to pray for you.
