WILSON'S ARGUMENT.

Speaking extemporaneously, Presi-
dent Wilson has explained and de-
Tended the debatable questions in the
peace treaty and the League OF Nat
ions in remarkable way.
In the four principal addresses he
has made the president has made the
treaty provisions clearer to the aver
age man than any prepayment, writer
or speaker, has been able to do.
The president is on long tour and
already his statements are being at
tackled, He may be saving his best
arguments in behalf of the treaty for
the last. speeches that he plans to
make and if they are any more
clear or more to the point than
those he already has delivered, there
is little doubt but that his fight will
be crowned victorious.
The league, to the average man, is
complicated matter. The. man in
the street does not understand the
various political and economic con-
siderations which helped form the
league provisions. But he does under
stand the principles of justice and
right that lie behind them. The
average man is for the treaty if he
is convinced that it will help to pre-
vent future wars. if it will HELM to
bring justice to the small nations and
if it will protect Americas rights
and interests. Realizing this, the
president has chosen to show that
the league will Swork towards these
ends. He is telling the people that
in plain spoken, convincing man.
ner. And that is the big thing the
people want to know.

"Come, Betty" said mother, put
away your dolls. 1t is time for bed. :,
ooh, mamma" pleaded Betty, Il
don't want to go to bed yet. Pm not
a bit sleepy"
But, Betty, look at the clock. The
hands are pointing to Z and you know
that is bedtime"
"Horrid old clocks! l wish they'd
all stop and never go again." NUT
tered Betty as she tucked Matilda
Jane and Josephine into the carriage
in which they slept.
Click took, tick tock,' sounded the
dining room clock in the might, and
in the quietness its voice seemed to
grow louder and louder.
whats the matter inquired the
kitchen clock from it's shelf. "You
seem to be angry"
Didn't you hear what Betty said
before she went to bed? l think I'll
stop and see how she likes it,"
"Well, if you stop, III STOP" an

To Pay Employees

Fort Smith, Sept. 6.-The city's
general fund is again on the verge
of bankruptcy and to save city EN-,
ployes from being forced to sell their
pay checks at a discount the city
commissioners instructed Mayor Arch

The funds are to be used in paying

partment includes both the fire and

tiptoed into mothers room. Mother
was wide awake, but still in bed.
Isn't it time to get up?" asked Betty.
II don't know, dear; the clocks

Betty dressed and ran downstairs.
No breakfast ready. "You see l didn't

"When Betty had finished her
breakfast she put on her hat and ran
down the street to call for her little
chum, Pearl, to go to Kindergarten. :,
"Why, Betty, you are very late,

gone some time"
Betty hurried down the street. Not
child in sight. No one on the play

ran home, the tears trickling down
her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, little daughter said

COTTON FOR EXPORT.

eff the Southern farmer will hold
his cotton together and market it
slowly good price that will offset
the expensive crop and an impover-
ished European market will be estab-
lished,' is the opinion of L. C. Gren-
nan, Texas cotton exporter, who has
just returned from Europe, where he
has been studying conditions in Eng
land, France, Holland, Italy and Bel
GUM. He discovered while abroad
that the demand for cotton is heavy
but the ability of the European to
pay is limited. In order to meet
this condition small quantities will
have to be bought and paid for be-
fore other cotton will be shipped.
Another factor, Mr.. Crennan said, is
the fact that the labor shortage in
Europe makes transportation both
slow and uncertain. England is in
the best condition of all but money
has been discounted there Is per
cent. Moreover the discount of
foreign money is discouraging to the
masses abroad. Europe is confront
ed with the same living problems
without anything like stable re-
sources and the people there are
looking to the United States as their
savior in the present crisis.-Fort
Worth Record.

New Treaties Soon

Paris, Sept. 6.-Probably a half
dozen other minor treaties will be
signed at the same time as the Aus
TRAN treaty These will be chiefly
treaties regulating relations between
new states created out of the former
Austro- Hungarian empire and defin-
ing the rights of minorities.
The Bulgarian peace treaty has
been virtually completed. Appar-
emily, the problem concerning Thrace
will be left unsolved except that a
commission will be named to study
means for granting Bulgaria access
to the Aegean Sea.
The American delegation favors
the return of Doburudja to Bulgaria,
but in this they are virtually unsup-
ported.
