NW ciaL)-"Here," says a bull V'" 1etin from the National Geo. graphic society, 'is just one of the tangled international landlord and ten- ant problems the peace conference af Paris must wrestle with;
 If you build city in mans house and the city grows and grows until it outgrows the house, in fact, does the city belong to the nation which IS heir to the man who built the house,
 or to the nation of the city that cen- ters in the house?
 Sounds like a combination conun- drum of the house that Jack built, and the mooted priority of egg or chicken. but it is an exact statement of the case of Spalato, contended for by JuSo- Slavs and Italians. Feeling runs so high that American and British de- stroyers rushed there this month, dis patches state, following the allegation of Italians that Jugo-Slavs compelled an Italian warship to haul down its , flag.
 of course Spalato is unique, first of all, for being city founded and still largely contained in a house--in the palace that Diocletian built when he voluntarily abdicated as Roman em- peror in the early fourteenth century. He betook himself, not to Elba or some reluctant Holland, but to beauty spot in his own domain which he chose for the site of palace covering nearly 10 acres. more than twice the ground area of the United States capitol building. "Diocles of Dioclea was born near Salona, three miles from Spalato. So after he made success in life, which consisted in those days of getting a crown rather than a fortune, he re-
 turned to the place of his humble birth,
 as many an American millionaire has done. and became the citizen that made his home town famous.
 Three centuries after Diocletian died, and his palace in the meantime had been converted into a cloth fac tory and then deserted, Salona was 1 overrur successively by Huns Goths and Avars. Inhabitants fled to the is :. lands along the Dalmation coast and after the storm of invasion blew over dug into the Garsantuan palace and thus founded Spalato.
 "Thousands of Spalato citizens today live and keep shop among the chapeis and suites. the vestibules and festeI halls of the palace ruins. Bright green

 The faith and the patience of Job; Cod give him the heart of Washington,
 With firmness his spirit enrobe. Sustain him with strength in this hour

 To vanquish the false and the wrong. Give freedom and peace 10 all nations
 By blood and by sacrifice won; Bring safely again to our homeland
 Americas chieftaia-her son.

Coddling American
 Wheat Producers

ONE of the most amusing g: argu- " ments advanced in behalf of the wheat farmers of the country is that if the government had not fixed the price of wheat at S226 a bushel they could have sold wheat for $5 bushel during the war, and since they missed a golden opportunity to profiteer while other patriots were getting rich at the expense of the government and the woes of humanity, they should have that privilege now.
 Southern cotton growers who have been roundly assailed because they plan to reduce their cotton. acreage and get. price for their product that will enable them to grow cotton at fair but not exorbitant profit, have never had the temerity to set forth, such an amazing claim as this.
 However, it seems waste of time to try to convince a man like Governor Allen of Kansas that the cotton pro- ducers of the south are not trying to capitalize the worlds wretchedness, a willingness to let humanity go naked while the self-sacrificing grain farmers, hog raisers and cattle men are laboring night and day to feed starving millions.

Reese Murray Arrested

q had very funny experience Thursday night while coming up from New Orleans" said J. Reese Murray head of the local department of justice. When we reached Meridian I was awakened by some one pulling at me and I asked what they wanted. A man replied: "Is your name Mcbride" Just for fun I said yes. and he then told me he wanted me for impersonating naval officer.
 T asked him who wanted me and he said, the city of Meridian and the gov ernment' I told the officer that l never had on naval uniform in my life and was told not to get fresh. l then pulled my badge on him and told him I would assist in experimenting anyone for Uncle Sam. About that time a young man across the aisle jumped out of his berth and the offl- cers caught him, and he admitted he was the man they wanted. Of course, everyone in the sleeper was awake by this time, and the young fellow dressed mmediately and went with the offi- cers"

HEN MAKES SUPREME SACRIFICE

From the Baltimore American.
 A Georgia hen died from overworl in laying 12 double eggs in 12 con- secutive days. She may be regarded as a martyr to duty, also, in giving her life in the effort to make the sup ply greater than the demand and so lowering prices. Many man has done far less for humanity in it's need these days of the high cost of living than this humble but heroic Georgia hen.

 "I did not know that he was going to be called upon, but when President Bush asked him to say a few words. he arose and those who heard him will deny the charge that there is no humor among the Scots, for he had the crowd in an uproar with his keen flashes of wit that bubbled out, being born Of the occasion and not dragged in.
