raise all kinds of crops, but we have
them beaten here for good blue grass

by Chas. Seeley, the administrator,
and P. A. Bishop, "the only auction
eer." The farm was purchased by
Frank Goodell of this city and Will
Coke of Dodgeville. Four hundred
acres brought $96, 400 A Mr.. Engelke
of Sutherland, Ia, was one of the
main contenders. A very large crowd
was in attendance, which Mr.. Bishop
says was due to judicious advertising.

United States does not mean to undertake to
preserve" the territorial integrity and political
independence of all members of the league, it
ought not to sign an agreement which says it will
undertake.
The stipulation in the article that the council
OF the league shall advise upon means of meet
ing the obligation is no protection if the council
advises that the United States should preserve
Armenia, as the peace council already is urging.
The United States ought not to pledge itself to
any such performances. We might be advised to
get the Japanese out of Shantung if they do not
restore Chinese sovereignty.
The reservations demand a plain statement
protecting the sovereignty of the United States
over such questions the tariff and inmigra-
ton. Does that need argument for Americans?
They demand the unqualified right of withdrawal
from the league. Does that need argument with
Americans?
The fifth reservation stipulates that the
American representative in any decision of the
league shall have been confirmed by the senate
or the decision shall not be binding upon this
nation. The senate already has had experience
which Eliminates the wisdom of that declaration
of policy.
Decisions arrived at in Paris, treaties and
covenants to bind this country in extraordinary
alliances and to astonishing obligations were the
decisions of men having no touch with the leg
islative body CT the nation. The senate had
nothing whatever to do with the decisions. 1t
was uniformed as to what they were. 1t was
eliminated Autocracy was almost absolute when
the decisions thus made were finally given the
senate with the declaration that they were in
violable and could not be altered.
Such theory wipes out two-thirds of the
government. It essentially amends the constitu-
ton by the proclamation Of one man.
The senators who support these reservations
are working for the security and we'll being of
the United States. They are not seeking to in
jure any chance the world has of peace. They
are not seeking to impair the process by which
the proponents Of the present covenant are seek
ing to maintain peace.
They are American statesmen doing their
duty to their country.

The President and the Senators

It is believed that final action on the peace
treaty will be measurably nearer after the pres-
dent and the senate committee on foreign affairs
hold their conference tomorrow. He will be in
terviewed by the senators on the details of the
peace treaty and publicity will be given to the
discussion.
The country at large, it seems certain, is anx-
ious to have the peace treaty problem solved as
quickly as possible, so that congress may give
undivided attention to the vitality important do
nestle problems that pressing for solution.
The Republican members will go before the
president with program of reservations to the
peace pact. The Chicago Tribune presents the
gist of the reservations as follows:
The reservations safeguard the Monroe doc
trne in unmstakable terms. We are told that
it is preserved and recognized in the present
draft. Then make the language so plain that it
could not possibly be construed otherwise.
Article X is eliminated so far as the United
States is concerned. The president says this
article does not bind the United States in agree
ment to preserve boundaries in Europe, Asia, and
Africa they are established by the peace and
Ivy subsequent plebiscites. If it does not, then
it can be eliminated. If it does not mean what it
says, the United States need not say it. If the

The Opening Of School

Although the resumption of school sessions
is still a matter Of weeks parents will be doing
their children service by planning for the COM
ing term. The parent may exercise highly eff
cient influence over the child by entering into it's
studies helping it over hard spots, and co-operat
ing with the teachers in it's development.
Teachers welcome visits from parents and op-
portunities to discuss the strong and weak points
Of childs career in the school room. Many of
the obstacles that make school life rksome for
child could be removed if the parent co-operated
with the teacher. A parents visit to the school
room, often gives the teacher valuable data about
the child, enabling her to understand why the
pupil is unable to advance. In other cases, the
mother or father may impart to the teacher in
formation about the future career of the pupil,
which will permit her to see that the child makes
special effort to acquire knowledge that will be
of help to it.
Too many parents dismiss the education Of
the child with the excuse, teachers are paid to
do that work." Every one admits that the real
work of schooling must be done by the teacher
and that the parent is treading on dangerous
ground by trying to dictate methods to the teach
or. But on the other hand, the parent that dis
cusses school work with the children, takes an
active interest in the problems that confront the
pupil, makes the boy and girl feel that the school
room is only part of the home transplanted to
another building, does an infinite amount of good.
When this course is pursued at home, the
pupil soon realizes that the school is not prison
and the teacher boss. The boys and girls learn
that the teacher, next to their parents, is one Of
their best friends and is anxious to impart knowl-
edge so that he and she may become useful citi-
in the republic and able to take care of them
selves in this life.
