Be Satisfied.

Washington, Aug. 22.--In a deter

before the end of next week, the SEN
ate foreign relations committee sud
denly interrupted public hearings to-
day, and arranged to go to work to-
morrow on proposed amendments and
reservations. Senator Hitchcock. DEM
ocratic leader, said it was his belief
the report would be laid before the
senate during the coming week Some
republicans agreed to this. but Chair
man Lodge declined to say when he
thought the committee would act.
A first hand story of the negotia-
tions, which resulted in the treaty
provision giving Japan control in
Shantung province, China, was told

Professor Williams said he had
objected very strongly to the shan

nation from the peace commission had
not been due to his opposition.
On April %, the witness said, Presi-

him which of the proposed alternatives

the loyalty due its government, while
receiving the highest wages ever be-

took advantage of the war conditions

higher wages are becoming a menace

SERMONETTE
Number Fifteen.
A GOOD RULE.

For the man working on
salary or wages, by far the
best way to save is to de-
termine the amount he feels
he can lay aside out of his
pay and then make it an
absolute rule to take this
amount and deposit it at
once in his bank account.
The plan for saving is sim
pie. Spend less than you
earn. Begin now by depos-
iting a part of your earn
ings in a savings account;
you will be surprised at the
result. A man may earn
great deal of money and
still not be well off. 1t is
not how much he earns, but
how mucV hhe saves that
counts.
Saving is hard for most
people at first; it is hard to
find surplus to save when
wages are small and wants
are many.
Unless you get your mon
ey into a bank at once, it is
spent. You miss it but you
hardly know where it went.
Money at interest works for
you every hour, day and
night, Sundays and holt
days.
The more you add to 1t
the more it will earn for
you.

of the lake selected were good and

putting the catch into the bag and told
back and forth to one another of how
Icing they and their families could live
on fish when they reached home. One
even suggested having their pictures
taken, showing their catch. This was
finally agreed to. Finally they start

into the auto they found it had dis
