p-esident Wilsen Addresses the legislators of Minnesota Ayers Increased Production W;ll Ease Inflated Prices.

ct Paul. Sept. 9.-The cost of liv- ;,e President Wilson told the Mime @ sota legislature today, is largely due = aa world situation," growing out of tbe sacrifices and waste of the war.
 Rack of that, added the president, ,av the fact that the world had not vet learned what the peace status would be.
 aThe world is not going to settle down. said he, until it learns what nart the United States is to play in this peace.'
 He continued that this was the only nation which would have enough free capital in the near future to rehabili- tate the world economically.
 The legislature, which began yes- terday an extraordinary session to consider the high cost of living and other subjects, received the president with cheers. He was introduced by Gov. Burnquist, who said Minnesota hoped there would be some arrange ment to prevent future wars.
 The president congratulated the legislature on it's ratification yester- day of the woman's federal suffrage amendment.
 First of all, MT. Wilson said, it was the nations duty to set the commerce of the world going by the establish ment of peace. After that, he con- tinued, there were domestic adjust ments that must be made, mentioning among other things that railway fa- cilities in this country were not equal to the demand.
 Having established world settle ment economically, Mir. Wilson de- clared, it was imperative there be an arrangement to insure "that nobody monkey with the process" set up.

RUMANIA REJECTS AUSTRIAN TREATY
Will Not Sign Without Reserva- tions-MinOrity Clause Cause -Jugo-Slavs May Follow the Same Course.

Paris, Sept. 9.-The Roumanian delegation to the peace conference an nounced today it would not sign the Austrian peace treaty, the signing of which by Austria and various other powers in interest is set to take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Before the Roumanian announce ment was made it had been indicated bv members of the supreme council that Roumania was expected to take the course she has announced Tn re- fusing to sign the treaty because of the councils flat refusal to grant her the privilege of making reservations in connection with the rights of min critics in territories detached from the former Austrian empire as pro- vided for in the peace treaty.
 It also is considered improbable the Jugo- Slav delegation will sign the treaty. It will be granted several days delay, however, to communicate with it's home government. The Jugo- Slav objections are similar to those oi Roumania.

Stewardship OF Souls

If you had $4,000 to invest, you
would try to place it in safe and sane
propositions which would return a
reasonable interest. You may not
have the ten thousand. You do have
a life to invest. How is it invested? -?
Perhaps you are producing or handl-
ing some commodity which people eat
or wear; but If that is all you are
doing. woe be unto you in the day of
reckoning, for you are responsible for
the wellbeing OF some soul. Have
you accepted that stewardship trust
from God? You are your brothers.
keeper. 1t Is not enough that you
should be concerned about his clay
dwelling place. You are responsible
for his immortal soul in 80 far as
