guard the interests of agriculture in comprehensive
The bill is altogether long be quoted in full
but fair idea it's may be gathered from the
following summary.

great deal in increasing production and facilit

A DIsCOURAGING OUTLOOK

Every day columns of matter published in the
daily regarding what the conference is do
ing and just at the present time the dispatches
pessimistc to raise doubt whether there will be any
general peace treaty concluded. 1t may be that this
pessmism is ill-founded and that the correspondents
hafguessing just multiplying words to keep read
satisfied while exercising discretion to disclosing
important facts prematurely. However, there is one
thing quite sure that is that the making of the
peace treaty has been attended with great difficulties
and the American people may we'll prepare themselves
for the possibility of staemate-with some kind Of
patched-up peace, perhaps separate between
the United States and Germany Such outcome would
the United States without friend in the world
but must not be premature in criticism.
The whole difficulty of discussing and reaching
conclusion regarding the conference is that
do not know what the issues which are taking
much time to solve We do reading be-
tween the lines and guessing, but conclusions
founded most unsatisfactory The appraisal
of what being done in Paris must wait for definite
knowledge of what dividing delaying the con-
ferees.

as organized and supervised play,
community development and boy
scoutery. Mrs. Eames read with fine
expression. These called forth COM
ments that resulted in practical ap-
probation of these problems, as re-

well-being. Mrs. Paul Miller read an
article from April "Harper's"-

which created intense interest and
proved to be descriptive of Brussels

the people brought their treasures

1t is indeed unfortunate that the bill to reform the
primary has not yet been agreed in the legislature
but renewed interest has been the matter
week. and there is every prospect that something will
yet be done. In special message Governor Burnqust
ably states the objection the present primary
it permits of formulating a party platform,
nor of urging to become candidates, does it
guard against minority nominations. These the
three patent objections to the primary which all will
but the question is how remedy these defects
Governor Burnquist that to return to the old
vention system is unthinkable yet it should be
membered that under the old convention SYSTEM the
voters could dispose of boss a gang ruling the
party much quickly and effectively than it can
today that the old convention system promoted interest
in public affairs much than does personal poll
tics of today and developed capacity for pub
lie service The governors idea appears that
ventons be legalized but that the nomination
made at the primary. II such measure can pass, it
should be adopted, because in that way progress
will be made However, believe that is a mistake
to entertain any special fear of the convention
system frank recognition of the merits system
will do much to clarity consideration of the various
plans proposed to meet the problems which the primary
has developed.

member telling of some invention.
Mrs. J. E. Cole was in charge of
the program which was exceptionally
good. 1t opened with a numerous
article read by Mrs. A A. Stone in
her own inimitable style-a chapter
from "The Postmaster" by Joseph
Lincoln. Mrs. H. o. Eames' contri-
button consisted of the reading of
several articles selected from mag
