by the very men whom, less than
year ago were believing like bulls to
the masses for support of war which
they told us was to forever sweep mill

opponents of the "'league that that
document holds no clause which binds
any nation to reduce its armament one

rerScus whom you approach on the sub
jet, think that this was the very pria-

the actions of our leading statemen hold
no tendency, no suggestion or promise
of any step toward international dis
armament whatsoever. The. bills before

1t will be remembered by most OF
the readers Of the papers before, and
during the late war, the strees and en-.
phasis that was laid on the horrors of
the German military policy, bemoauing
the fate of the youth of Germany which
must needs. drill their youthful lives

our sons, money and everything, even
asking that we sacrifice these things
necessary to our individual comfort and
convenience, that would assist in the
annihilation of the hideous spectre
militarism."
We were told that if Germany won the
war we must support a great army and
navy to insure us against German ag-
gression. That the only thing to insure
lis again this burden, was her total and
uneomprOmising defeat. America re-

what is the result. Summing it up in
the shortest possible words, 1t is Just
this. The tearstained mask has fallen

TWO SETS OF PRODUCERS.

present economic situation makes this ncisve comment
Farmers and nralties generally are seriously per-
picked at being called upon to exert themselves to raise
larger and larger crops in order to reduce the cost of M
ing for dweers in towns and cities while the latter seek
to organize and strive harder and harder to reduce work
ing hours and advance wages thus tending to increase
the cost of wares which the farmer must buy"
II must be admitted that this is the present tendency
More food is needed of course. But it is certainly
inconsistent to harp the need of larger farm produc
tion unless there is simultaneous demand for larger
production of manufactured goods Fuel. furniture,
paint hardware and all sorts of other commodities are
needed well food, and there can be neither lower

have framed new set. Some people
think it is simply terrible when the

Why not let the girls play basket ball

game is not too strenuous for girls to
play if they observe the girls rules
which are given to them by their
coach. Every girl before attempting
TO play basketball, should have a thor
