AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONROE DOCTRINE

The Monroe Doctrine, as originally
announced, served as q shield, which
the United States held over itself and
over weaker states on the American
continents as a protection against
European interference and European
sncroachment. II was and is q
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There Is real danger now, however,
that the Monroe Doctrine viii 10
carried so far and with so high q
hand that the real value of the policy
will be lost
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recent
speech in the Senate:-''Its (The
Monroe Doctrine) precise character.
he extent. method and time OF its
application. the means of compelling
its observance, all are matters OF our
high and uncontrolled will and SOW
sreign prerogatiye. We, the United
States, cannot answer to any one
else in respect to IL. We use il when,
as. and to the extent we need IL.
There can be no limitation upon II,
except our requirements, our will, and
our force of arms. Whatever security
we may need within its purview, II
must give IL we ask It."
That sounds like Trietschke. Il is
an announcement of unlimited will.
backed by arms, 10 be exercised as
the United States alone determines
her own requirements to be. Such
an tmmoderate statement OF the Mon
roe Doctrine weakens and does not
strengthen II. IL Is an extreme
statement OF the doctrine. calculated
to cause trouble and friction on the
American continents. The Doctrine
so stated is not unlike the doctrine
which Germany sought to apply to
Europe.
Senator Knox would refuse to sub
init to Cancellation any dispute grow
ing out Of the application Of the
Monroe Doctrine. whether such dis
pute were between the Unitd States
and an American state or between
the United States and a non-Ameri-
can state. On the American CONT
nent the arbitrary win OF the United
States backed by force is to prevail
The other nations agree. in the Gov.
snant OF the League of Nations, tc
submit to Cancellation all non justici-
able disputes; that is. those which
grow out OF questions of policy. Is
the United States to demand that she
alone be relieved from such Obliga.
ton and on the ground that, when
aer interests are involved, her abso
ute will shall prevail? How does this
differ from the German position liz
Eurora?
The fact Is that the Monroe Doc
trine now that II has been recognized
In the Covenant OF the League OF Ma
ions is adequately protected.
Il Is such pronouncements as that
Of Senator Knox and not the wise
provision in the Covenant Of the
League OF Nations which threaten the
usefulness of the Monroe Doctrine.

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Are Ready to proteet Securities Of
email investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Sayings
Stamps the people Of the United
States have done more than perform
=. patriotic duty-they have invested
in the soundest securities in the
world, gold obligations Of the Unit
ed States Of America
But the safeguarding Of these Sc
eurities has become a problem for
many folk. Only q few persons. rel
atiyely, have either safe in the
house or Office, or a safe-deposit box
in the vaults Of the bank. Far -
many patriotic citizens are keeping
Sonds and stamps about the house, in
he bureau drawer. under the mat
ress, or on the shelf. And even n
tae treasure is thus hidden fron,
thieves, there is the ever present dan
ger of fire, and the loss Of the money
.nsested.
There may be no further call for
the people at large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
merit needs the daily and weekly
of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger of loss has deferred some PEG
pc from gettiT% as msny stamps a.
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem viii be a future question rs
well rs a present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certifi-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number of his security have been
Registered by the government, and
hat nobody but himself can pos
IDLY get the money which the bond
n stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tificates may be registered through
The nearest postotfice; bonds through
he nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
Guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
.iOnal bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
70 rent q safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, MAN. of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
willingness TO keep these securities
for him in their own vaults.

PUMPKINS SUPERIOR
AS FEED FOR STOCK
Have High Value for SuccuIence
When Fed With Roughage.
Impression Of Some Feeders That
Seeds Have Tendency to Decrease
Milk Flow ls FalIacy-Most =.
Excellent for Pigs.

Pumpkins, coming as they do Mt a
time of the year when grass begins to
fail and before grain feeding Is COM
menced, cannot be excelled as a feed
for cattle. They have practically the
same composition as different roots,
and their feeding value for any kind of
stock Is practically the same.
Analysis shows that ore ton Of clo-
yer hay has as much feeding value rs
seven tons of pumpkins. When, how
ever. pumpkins are fed In connection
with clover hay or other Ike rough.
age they have on account of their sue.
culence a greater feeding value than
the analysis indicates. A succulent
feed added to the ration always en-
ables animals to digest and assimI-
late little more dry matter.
Some feeders have the impression
that seeds should be removed from
pumpkins before feeding to dairy cows,
as they believe the seeds have a tend
ency to decrease the flow of milk.
There is no wellgrounded foundation
for this belief. as tests have proved.
When pumpkins are fed In excess
the seeds act injuriously on the kid.
neys,. but where fed In moderation no
Injurious results need be feared. One
to two medIum-sized pumpkins at
time twice a day Is sufficient for each
cow.
The greatest value obtained from
the pumpkins fed to hogs In connec.
ton with corn comes from the cor
receive influence exercised on the d.
gestion. They have a cooling Infu-
ence on the system and keep the pigs
stomach and bowels In perfect condi-
ton. The animals are thus less sub
Ject TO different ailments.
Since pumpkin seeds are exceed
ngly rich In protein TOO many should
not be given to the hogs. Pumpkin
seeds are a natural verInifuge and In
limited quantities are valuable for
hogs affected with worms.

RATIFY THE TREATY
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS

For nearly i've years We have
been facing such stupendous issuea
that the average man and woman In
our country does not realize the mag
nitude Of the crisis which IL nearly
upon Us. WIZ or will not the Senate,
Immediately on its receipt. ratify the
Peace Treaty, which not only ineiudes
but Is actually built upon the Leagus
OF Nations? This sounds like o
simple question. but the progress
even the maintenance.-of our civil.
IzatiOn depends upon tie answer.
BY this time Il must be evident &c
every thinking person that the Cove
nant Of the League Of Nations can
not be torn out of the Peace Treaty;
and It must soon be realized. even by
those whose eyes are temporarily
blinded BY political antagonisms, that
an attempt TO amend the Covenant a.
this tuncture Is fraught with danger
since the condition OF many countries
az q result Of hunger and Of genera
war upheaVal, Il SO unstable that rev.
olation may break out at almost any
moment II peace between the nations
Is not at once established.
The making now of reservations IL
dangerous 10 the establishment Of the
League, because IL the United States
either repudiates or stipulates for
special interpretations Of certain arti-
cles OF the Covenant. other nations
will naturally wish to do the same,
with the result that this great Magma
Jharta may become devitalized and
Ineffective. u II can be established at
ALL
Surely even though not perfect. the
Covenant represents a wonderful step
forward in the life Of the worlds
Therefore let Us make sure that the
United States does her part by join
ing the League OF Nations at the
earliest possible moment To this
end let every man and woman write
TO our Senators at Washington. urging
hem TO ratify the Peace Treaty in
.ludlng the Covenant, without amend

so tired and then remember that the

for the fun of lit II you are guilty,
then schedule" Is what you need.
Making Weekly Schedules.
Woman's work Is scheduled most
easily by the week because OF the num-
Der OF weekly tasks. These must be
taken into account as well as the daily
ones. Some which do not come as
often as once a week must be taken
care OF. too, in the budget of time.
Each woman has different things she
must attend to. SO any schedule or
budget Of time will have to be worked
over or used only as q pattern to be
altered when necessary. Every day
housekeeper has these tasks;
L Preparation Of three meals.
2. Dish washing.
3. Care OF beds
l. Light cleaning Of used parts OF the
house.
At least once a week she has these
tasks:
I. Laundry.
2. Marketing
3. Special cooking.
l. Sewing or repairing.
5. Thorough cleaning Of house
6. Cleaning OF windows, silver. or 1T
tings
Z. Cleaning of refrigerator.
IF there are children In the family
more tasks must be put In each OF the
lists.
The Daily Schedule.
The list made, the next question 10
how to arrange the days work. That
win depend on the hOusekeeper her
self. but she should have a definite
preference and stay by II In order that
her work may become efficient.
Such a schedule will make the cas-
ual observer appreciate the multitude
of tasks that come up in the daily life
OF a housekeeper. 1t will increase her
own self-respeet to see the list OF
things she Is doing each day. but more
than that IL will increase her interest
In housekeeping. To work by schedule
viii make her commander OF these
duties rather than their slave.

The argument win come up, "But

Motorcar frames are not at all rigid

regular road surface, whereas the body
work Is very much less free to bend

since these points Of free contact are

remedy is to insulate the body from

CAR FEE SYSTEM IS
QUITE COMPLICATED
Amount Collected for Various
Vehicles Is Not Uniform.
Confusion Caused by Widely Varying
Requirements for Registration or
Licensing Of chauffeurs, Own
ers and Dealers,

The amount of fees collected per
car for either pleasure or commercial
vehicles Is as yet far from uniform add
Is still further complicated by the
widely varying requirements for the
registration or licensing of chaffeurs,
owners, operators, dealers, etc. Thus,
If the total gross registration and
license revenues be used as q basis of
revenue, and the total automobile
trucks and vehicles as a basis for
motorcars, 1t Is found that for the
entire United States the average fee
per car was 1897. On the same basis
the state of New Hampshire received
in 1918 a gross revenue of $20.52 for
each motorcar while Minnesota re-
ceived only about SITS annually for
each car, as the registration in that
state is for three-year period.
In most states motorcars are taxed
as personal property in addition to
the required registration fees. In
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont
registration fees are in lieu of all other
taxes. Therefore, in making any COM
PARSONS in fees as between the several
states, this fact should be borne in
mind.
