TREATY GIVEN OUT IN N. Y.
Sen. Lodge Told Senate He Had Seen
Copies of It There.


WASHINGTON, June 4.-Senator
Lodge told the senate yesterday he had
seen in the hands of business interests
in New York a copy of the treaty with
Germany, given out by an American
representative at Paris, but withheld
by the state department from the SEN
ate.
''The treaty is in New York, - said
Senator Lodge. Il saw a copy of it
yesterday. | was offered a copy. but
refused to accept it, saying ii could not
come into my hands without its being
published. / heard of four copies in
New York. How many more there may
be throughout the country | do not

only place it IS not allowed to come is
the senate of the United States.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, Dem
ocratic member of the Foreign relations
committee, inquired whether Senator
Lodge could tell where the copy he saw
came from.
"Copies were given out in Paris,
replied Senator Lodge. ''They found
that some of them were coming to this
country and it was stopped.

Since the beginning of human
history, the OK is said to have fur
nished man with more power than
any other agency, not excluding
coal and steam. This calculation
is based on long view of history,
for the OK was the basic source
of power during the centuries
that preceded the invention of the
steam engine. AS man became
more energetic and human labor
became more expensive, the horse
began to replace the OK. The
horse has made its greatest head
way in countries, like America,
where labor is high and speed is
the chief goal. In 1916 it was es-
timated by the government that
there were about 25,OOO,O0O horses
and mules of working age on the
farms and in the cities of the Un-
tied States. In 1914 there were
22,574,574 units of mechanical
horse power used in manufactur-
ing in this country. This figure
has, of course, been greatly in
creased since that time, and the
number of horses has probably
diminished. But assuming that a
mechanical horse power is equal
to an animal horse power-which
is not exactly true it is interest
ing to note that even in this ad-
vanced age we are still relying on
animal power to surprising de-
gree.

Much confusion has arisen
thruout the country because of
the failure of the senate to con-
cur in the passage of the act re-
pealing the tax on sodas, ice
cream and soft drinks. Reports are
constantly coming into the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue that pat
rons are refusing to pay the tax.
The tax became effective May l.,
since which time it has netted sew
eral millions of dollars in revenue.
The house repealed the tax June
%, but so far the senate has TAX
en- no action and the tax remains
in effect.

SCHOOL NOTES
(Louise Hartman)

Did you notice the Freshmen
Monday on their way to school?
Well, if you didn't, we did. They
were all as pale as ghosts and of
course you'll ask the reason for
all this change of color. A whole
month of school has drifted by
and report card time has come
once again. Now l think this full
ly explains it. AS the report cards
were handed out, they shivered
and shook and then as each re-
ceived his into his own little hand
well 1 guess NUFF SED.
If anyone in school or out of
school wishes to know where to
sharpen his pencil, just inquire
of George. Pm sure he'll be able
to tell you as he seemed to have
found out one day last week in
English class.
Several of our Senior girls have
had the experience of teaching a
day during the last week. Miss
Stribley has been sick and the
Senior girls have been acting as
substitute during her absence.
They liked it very much and at
present are all bent on the idea
that they will be instructors in
the future.
Elmer Blood, former high
school student, visited the school
Monday. He seemed very glad
to see all his old friends and to
once more sit in the old seats of
the high school.
Those absent this week were ::
Elsie Williams and James Will
Jams.
Next Friday afternoon the
schools of Gilpin county will have
a track meet at the ball grounds.
Many stunts such as: Running
broad jump; standing broad
jump; and voting will be execut-
ed and a blue ribbon will be
awarded to the student who ex-
cells in any of the feats.

Figures compiled by the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue show
that the taxes to be collected from
incomes and excess profits for this
fiscal year will total about four
and half billion dollars. Collec-
tions to date aggregate $685.
950,612 from all revenue sources.
Of the excess profits and incomes
there has been collected only
about $2,596,0 6,00S,702 thus far. The
law allows payment in four in
stallments, if desired. Only two
of such payments have fallen due.
1t is estimated there is about ST.
000.000,000 yet to be collected
from this source in the payments
which fell due September 10, and
those falling due on December 15,
1919.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

After you have roamed around
for while you will discover that
the biggest floppers are the peo-
pie who brag about their consist
ency.
The difference between oppor-
tunity and a collector is that op-
portunity knocks but once at your
door.
A gown does not have to be cut
so low that the V reaches the
waist line in order to be decollete,
but you can't make some people
believe it.
And fat woman can get a
whole lot of exercise out of wish
ing that she was thin.
When a man marries girl
friend he sometimes discovers
that matrimony knocks the "r"
out of friend.
You may have noticed that
whisky always smells worse on
the other fellows breath. And
that is what the other fellow has
noticed about you.
Another sure way to make a
bum out of young man is for
him to have a mother who hates
to see him work.
For every man who has money
there are fifty who haven't any
who are willing to tell him how
he should spend it.
There are only two kinds of
women a bachelor is afraid Of
the married ones and the single
ones.
A girl wants guarantee when
she gets pair of silk stockings.
But she isn't that particular when
she gets a husband.
Another sign that the honey
moon is over is when he wants to
occupy chair all by himself.
Right now the prospective bride
imagines that she won't have any
harder work to do than cranking
the photograph. But she'll wake
up-she'll wake up.
