CITY LUMBER co.
ARE REAL BOOSTERS

That South Bend business men are
ready and eager to 90 their utmost
toward the development and expan-
sion Of South Bend is well exempli-
fled by the City Lumber company.
When the opening gun of the
housing campaign was fired in The
News Times Of one week ago, tho
City Lumber company Immediately
declared themselves in favor and
coupled action with their declara-
ton in the form of a good straight
-the-shOulder talk over their
own signature. Due 10 crowded
conditions the matter did not ap-
pear. 1T is in this equally important
issue of today and is well worth
reading by everybody who believes
in a bigger and better South Bend.

The homes built in groups by real

wholesalers which will tend TO lower

TUBERCULIN TEST
FOR ALL CATTLE
TAKEN INTO STATE
Lively Discussion Before
Legislative Committee
On Agriculture
NO DISEASED CATTLE
Would be Result of Compulsory Test
Applied by State Cattle
Commissioner

Quite a lively hearing was had be-
fore the Committee on Agriculture
both in the House and Senate last
week upon the question of compensa-
tion for tubercular stock killed by
order of the Live Stock Commission
er. There was large attendance of
pure bred stock men from all parts
of the State. The lead in the discus
sion on behalf of the stock was taken
by Mr.. Gregory from Brattleboro, a
Holstein breeder and vendor.
The present law allows grade cattle
to be appraised at sum not exceed
ing seventy-fve dollars, and if regis
tered cattle, sum not exceeding one
hundred dollars, and if a slaughtered
animal under test turns out to be
tuberculus, seventy-fve per cent. of
its value is paid to the owner and if
found to be free from disease, the
full value is paid, and the same rul-
ing applies respecting registered
of the appraisal is one hundred dol
stock except that the highest limit
lars.
1t was pointed out that while the
owners of grade cattle were pretty
fairly compensated for their stock,
that in some instances the owners
of registered cattle made particular
localities, and that when the herd was

sufficient appropriation was made
and compulsory examination was ex-
acted, they could be substantially
cleared up and then it would only be
a small matter to look after them and
keep them entirely free from the
disease. They insisted that the tu-
berculin test should be applied by the
cattle commissioner to all cattle
brought into the state as soon as
possible after sixty days from their
arrival had elapsed. While all cattle
are tested before they are allowed to
come into the state under the present
law, thy are sometimes plugged" and
it was stated that it takes about two
months to clear their system from
the plugging so that retest can be
made which will be valuable.
1t turned out in the course of the
discussion that standard bred cattle
are much freer from tuberculosis
than grade cattle and that it is very
essential that all classes of cattle be
cleaned up to protect the healthy
ones.

LEAGUE SHAPED TO
WIN THE APPROVAL
AMERICAN PEOPLE
Col. House Confefs With
Members and Reports
To President
CHANGES IN SAFETY
Monroe Doctrine Safeguarded and
Covenant Made Acceptable to
Supreme Council

PARIS, March 1S (By the AS
sociated Press)-Eforts are being
directed to shape the league of ma
tions covenant so as to insure it's ac-.
ceptance by the supreme council and
win the approval of those Americans
who are demanding it's amendment.
Col. House conferred with Lord
Robert Cecil, Leon Bourgeois and
the American delegates and reported
to President Wilson.
1t is conceded that some of the
suggested amendments can safely be
adopted, for instance, the safeguard
ing of the Monroe doctrine and the
fixing of conditions which will per-
NIT the adherence of the late enemy
powers.
One of the five powers has hesi-
tated to accept a distinct expression
of the right of secession from the
league. The Americans are proceed
ing on the supposition that the COW
enant may be included in the peace
treaty.
Foreign Minister Pichon said that
he felt it was practically impossible
to include the covenant in the first
treaty The views of neutral coun-
tries which had been invited and
amendments could not be disposed Of,
he added, before the probable early
singing of the preliminaries.
The issue, the minister suggested,
might be met by declaration in the
treaty of the principles underlying
the league, leaving the details in
allegiance. The war would be ended
when the preliminaries were signed,
he pointed out, but the Germans
would not regain their pre-war sta
tus, with liberty of movement until
the signing of the final treaty, pend
ing which the blockade would be lift
ed only partially.
Regarding Posen, M. Pichon said
that if the Germans persisted in their
rejection of the terms of the allied
commissioners, the entene would have
to intervene Poland could not be
left in it's present dangerous situa-
ton. A French general would be

division which had fought in France,
as soon as possible.
M. Pichon denied the report that
the French government had accorded
recognition of the Russian Bolsheviki
saying that Nthe supreme council
would consider the Russian question
this week.
The report of the Polish commits
sion on the eastern boundary, which
is on Mondays business before the
council, proposes to give Germany di-
rect land communication across the
corridor to the Baltic which has been
accorded to Poland and which cuts
off part of East Prussia from the rest
of Germany.
The report suggests that for Po-
lands security the German territory
to east of the corridor be
demilitarized.
