SOUTH COMES FORWARD
 IN CATTLE INDUSTRY

Washington, December S.-(Special) The south, for live stock, has arrived, according to the department of agricul- ture. In an official bulletin, the depart ment takes cognizance of the fact that nine grand championships at the Inter- Etional Live Stock exposition, Chicago, this month, were won by breeders south Of the Ohio river.
 These grand championships were as foi- lows Shorthorn bull and COW. Hereford huil, sAberdeen-Angus bull, Percheron mare.l Duroc-Jersey boar, Poland China l SOW and Hampshire ram and eve.
 'tWhen the Hereford bull, Point Com fort XIV, won for the south the grand championship for the breed at the in ternational live stock exposition in 1915 many mortimer people felt that the occur renee was flul1e, which was not likely to be repeated often," says the depart ment of agriculture. "But the record oi the international live stock exposition held in Chicago November g to Decem- Der 6, demonstrated the possibilities of the south as live stock producing sec ton in a remarkable way"
 The department goes on to say that the fact that the grand championship animals were shown from southern herds is an illustration of the progressive spirit of the southern breeders, and those which were pred dnu idlocu oii eoo.A = s show clearly that the south can produce as fine breeding stock as any other sec tion of the country"
 This has long been the claim of Clem- ent S. ticker of Baltimore, vice presi- dent of the Southern Settlement and De- velopment organization, and others iden- tified with the development organizations of the south, and with the live stock in- dustry in that section. Many men fa- miliar with the land resources Of the south it's climate, soil, feed, location with reference to transportaton, markets' a,c ;nsist that the southern states were cut out for live stock country. Thefe are between 200, ,0Oo, 900 and 3oo,o oo0,0oo acres of land, mostly unused in the south At, 1antic and gulf coastal plain alone, and most of it is believed to be suitable Tor stock raising, especially at this particu- lar stage of the economic situation

 With the utmost earnestness we re- spectfully appeal to you to make mutual concessions as will permit an immediate ratification of the peace treaty with such reservations as will, either now or later. permit our participation in Q League of Nations without impairing the safety of the sovereign powers of the United States.
 "We therefore call upon you, MT. President. to resubmit the draft of the proposed treaty to the Senate in order that it's immediate further consideration may be imposed upon that body. "We call upon you, gentlemen of the Senate, promptly to act upon the peace treaty with such reservations as will, now or later, permit our participation in a League of Nations without surrender of the sovereign power of the United States.
 No pride of opinion. no desire for par tisan benefit should prevent or further delay concessions which apparently alone will bring formal ratification of peace and thus permit the concentration of Con- Sress and our people upon definite meas ures necessary to aid our own and Eu- rcpean recovery from war conditions This telegram is said by it's sponsors to represent the attitude of business throughout the United States. It is, first, an insistence on peace, ana secondly, an insistence on League of Nations.

 When a negro ran down and killed Mrs. Willard of Palatka. Fla, some days ago, this accident following hard ou inc heels of innumerable others, Senator Fletcher of Florida expressed his sentiments in the Senate. He de- c1ared that should he be a member of a jury before which was hauled a defendant charged with shooting a chauffeur whose recklessness had in- flicted in jury or death he would ex- onerate the man who did the shoot ing.
 This prompted Senator Ashurst of Arizona to observe:
 "The senator from Florida ha1 not overemp phasized the periIous condition of Washington streets. A citizen will soon have to arm himself with a pistol and shoot some of the drivers of the city who, with cynical reckless. dis regard for human life, run down old men. old women. and babes in arms"

 the League of Nations has greatly per-

 the league in some acceptable form, or
 at any rate official peace to the end
 that business might readjust itself from

 Regarding the latest expression of the
 President, Senator Underwood has said nothing. He is on record, however, as
 being willing to ratify the treaty of peace
 immediately without the league covenant, provided that the league covenant will continue before the Senate as unfinished

The property of ST. Mary's parish,
consisting of six lots on Ninth and Lo-
Gust Streets, ST. Paul, together with
the church edifice, parochial school and
pastors residence thereon, has been
purchased by the Great Northern Rail-

The contract for the sale and transfer
was signed last Tuesday; but the Great
Northern Railway Company will not
come into actual possession of the prop

give the church authorities ample time
