Four Trego Farms
Have Changed Hands

Harry Trego has sold his twenty
acre farm at McDonaldville to Miss
Dora Bond for $4,000. 1t is all
fenced and under cultivation, and
has water right but no buildings.
Mr.. Trego has also sold his "a
acre farm at McDonaldville to Ed
ward Patz for $500. It has a two
room house, a water right, some or
chard, and practically all of the land
Is under cultivation.
Byrd Trego has sold a half inter-
est in his two farms northwest of
Snake river bridge for $4,000. The
two tracts contain about IS or 81
acres, have good water rights, are
all cultivated, have one we'll, one
barn and two or three very poor
houses. Harry Trego is the pur-
chaser, and the partners are plan
ming to build rather attractive
modern house ON the premises where
Harry has been living the past few
years.

Illusions and Logic

The imaginations of the good peo-
pie who Historically demand the
present league of nations have con-
jured up beautiful and alluring
picture. The reflex of war has left
them a psychological mirage, and
they see in misty outline the league
creating an open international for
UNI, where all the peoples Of the
earth may know the worlds activi-
ties and where separate alliances
80 likely to lead to conflicts, will
never be tolerated. The actualities
are inexorabzly piercing the mental
mists of war psychology. The stub
born facts are demonstrating that
what there is before us with a league
of nations is not an open world for
UNI where all the peoples of'the earth
shall know what transpires, but a
secret tribunal at Geneva secret
tribunal of the same kind of men
who have been sitting at Paris, ac-
tuated by the same sordid motives.
where decisions are made not in the
open but in secrecy and in stealth,
and where peoples will never know
those decisions until called upon to
enforce them; not league which it.
self constitutes the engagements and
the alliances Of nations, but nations
within it among themselves having
offensive and defensive alliances,
some known and some yet undis-
closed, some of them executed be-
fore the adoption Of the league of
nations and some since; but all for
specific individual defense or Of
Tense, aggrandizement or power. In
stead of disarmament we find the
various countries no sooner attach
ing their signatures to the league
of nations than they provide for the
largest armies they have ever had;
and not only that, but resort to what
the world has never before resorted
to-peace-time CONSUMPTION. The
freedom Of the seas is abandoned
for control Of the seas by the most
astute and powerful memoet Of the
league. The rule Of right and JUS
tice Is transformed into the rule Of
might and power. Instead Of peace
twenty wars are raging. The illus
ions Of our imaginative friends are
dispelled by the pitiless logic Of
events. States Senator HI
