Now "He' League Only.
From the New York World.

The covenant OF the League of Nations is now a definite fact, to
be accepted or rejected as such, together with the entire treaty of
peace.
The action OF the conference leaves no room for further specula-
ton and conjecture. American critics, especially those who are
members OF the United States Senate, can no longer pretend that they
favor a league of nations but are opposed to this particular League of
Nations. Either they are in favor of this league or they are not in
favor of any league.
Although some of the changes made in the text of the original
covenant make for clarity of expression and more precise limitations
OF responsibility, the most important amendments were drawn to meet
American objections. The purpose was not to make the covenant a
more workable instrument of international law and general peace, but
to dispose OF the senatorial complaints that the United States, which
has suffered least of all the active beligerents, was surrendering too
much into the hands of it's associates in the league.
SO far as American opposition was coherent or honest, it has I'M
questionably been met in the amendments suggested by MI. Taft
and adopted through the influence of President Wilson. The conference
has given extraordinary proof of its belief that no league of nations .
possible without the United States, and that every legitimate criticism
that might imperl the acceptance of the league by the American
people must be met.
To have gone further would have been to put in jeopardy the
whole structure. The president has adequately met his responsibilities
in Paris and the American people must now meet theirs at home.

MERELY PIECE OF POOLING
Course Taken by Germany Resembles
Closely Neat Trick That Is
Credited to Sheridan.

: "The Germans, by fooling US with
German b~olshevism, hoped to escape
the payment Of war indemnities," said
q congressman.
at reminds me of q story about
Sheridan, the spendthrift playwright,
"Gunter, the confectioner, left his
statement with Sheridan one morning,
and a few hours later Hanson, the
~ironmonger, called.
"Hanson was very pressing on the
subject Of his account. He harangued
and he h%arangued. Sheridan, broke,
as usual, paced the floor in despair.
"But suddenly an idea struck the
spendthrift and he said:
"'You know GunterT'
"'One of the safest men in Lon.
don,' Hanson replied.
""Then you will be satisfied if
give you his bill for the amountT
"tCertainly.'
SHERIDAN thereupon handed the
ironmonger Gunter's neatly folded ac-
count, snatched up his hat and rushed
forth"

interests him, then something in each

yellow, green, blue, violet; count the
articles found; classify them as

In the same way the three type

"Stones Cracking on the Roof"

In his great speech in the House of Commons Premier Llovd
George used this picturesque language to describe the troubles of the
delegates to the peace conference:
I doubt whether any body of men Yer worked under greater difficult

Another Englishrnan, MI. Kiplirg, a few years ago expressed
the same idea in a striking poem, Of"

SEEKS To FIND
RUNAWAY BOY

Efforts are being made by J. w.
Spradling of Redlands to locate his
young nephew in the valley. The boy,
Dalton Moore, who is about 18 years
old, disappeared from the home of his
uncle about two years ago and has not
been heard from since.
The boys father lives in Canada and
is prostrated over the disappearance of
his son. The boy was attending high
school in Redlands and when he found
out that he was not able to graduate
with his class he became very despon-
dent and shortly afterwards disappear
ed. 1t is the belief of his uncle that
the boy is in the valley.
Young Moore has light hair and
blue eyes and is about feet 10 inches
tall. Anyone having seen or heard of
kim is asked to advise the Press office.

Humboldt Dairymen Get
Far More Butter-fat from
a String than the Local
Average. wW
THEY ARE AFTER
HIGHER RECORDS
Seine Facts and Figures
Which Show How Valley
Producers May QuadrupEe
Net Returns.

Mr.. Dairyman, The Press said, yes
terday, that the average dairy profits
in Humboldt county were probably
twice the average in Imperial county
as a result Of the kind of cooperation
there, that is needed here. We added
that the cooperative steps they are
now taking were likely to bring them
qnadruple the profits of the average
Imperial valley dairy. What The
Press wants to see is your profits
quadrupled because this means so
much more prosperity for the valley
and for The Press, as we'll as for your
selves.
In order to figure your present
profits, Mr.. Dairyman, YOU should
charge against the returns you get
from each cow about $1,000 a month
for land rent, taxes, depreciation, in
terest and your wages. What you may
save from your wages is not profit.
To figure TIE right way you must
figure your wages as though you paid
them to someone else. Wages are the
earning of labor.
If a cow earns $500 against $1,000
cost your profit is $1.O0 on that cow.
The daily average production of
butterfat per (milking) COW in I'M
perial county is about two-thirds of a
pound; for all COWS vets and dry, it is
about siX-tenths of pound. Mr..
Dairyman, you can figure out for your
self what profit the average Imper-
ial valley dairymen makes above
wages and other expenses on this pro-
duction. The average butterfat pro-
duction in Humholdt county is nine
tenths of a pound. Figure out the
average Humboldt dairyman's profit
over and above the same $1,000 cost.
After YOU have done so your figures
will show you that the average Hum
bcdlt Dairyman already has quadrupl-
ed the profits of the average Imperial
Valley dairyman.
Mr.. Humboldt dairyman does not
however, intend to stop with these
profits. His cooperative association
is pounding away to make cleanup
of all the scrubs in the county and to
bring the average production up to
a pound and a half per day. Mr.. I'm
perial valley dairyman follow the lead
of the Humboldters in honest-to- good.

Il CENTRIC SHY
VACANT HOUSES

Ell Centre has not sufficient houses
to accommodate growing number of
people who wish to settle here. Every
day several inquiries for vacant houses
are heard at The Press office and
every time house is for rent pros
pective householders sweep down upon
it like a hawk.
In the past there has been some talk
of forming a cooperative building
company, manned by local men and f.
nanced by local money but no definite
steps have been taken along this line.
That Ell Centro will suffer a huge
economic loss until drastice steps are
taken tQ provide more homes in the
city, is a we'll understood fact. Approx
imately every house in Ell Centro is
occupied and now just where the afll
rush of homeseekers will find a place
to billow their heads is causing consid-
cradle conjecture.

"There are nine camps and hun

ROBBERY TH0T
MOTIVE KILLING
lockwood MEN

That William Bailey and James Nc
Elhaney were murdered by men who
had the robbing og the safe as a mo-
tive and by men who were familiar
with both Bailey and his friends and
with the lay of the land, is the opin-
>icn of Deputy Sheriff Cummings, who
is handling the case for the sheriff. s
office.
According to Cumminges, Bailey
never kept bank account but placed
all of the money taken in at the store
in the safe 1t was rumored around
that at. time, Bailey had over thous-
and dollars in the safe besides sever
al valuable diamonds and that this
rumor caused the men who did the
killing to act.
Cummings scouts the theory that
Hindus were responsible for the dou-
BILE killing as he states that only men
who were apparently friendly with
Bailey could have pulled the job.
There is no doubt but that the men
intended to kill Bailey and McElhaney
states Cummings, as the way the
straps were bound around the necks
of the murdered men proves that they
were intent on killing them.

San Diego Men Leave Bay

NOT HEARD FROM
SINCE THEY LEFT
Supposed to Register at Bar
bara Worth But Fail to
Appear in Valley.

The disappearance of Dwight Bell
and Henry Kruger, two business men
from San Diego, who were reported to
have left the bay city last Saturday to
investigate oil properties in the valley,
is causing considerable alarm among
their friends in the valley and to their
families at San Diego.
The first information that tie two
men had disappeared was had when
the family of one of the men telephon-
ed to Harry w. Horton, local attor-
ney and friend of the two men, asking
him to try and locate them. When they
left San Diego they had stated that
they would register at the Barbara
Worth hotel but the management re-
ports that the men have not registered
Horton states that he saw the two
men in San Diego last Thursday and
that they stated they would be in the
valley Saturday; that they would eth
er come over by stage or would drive
a Maxwell car themselves.
1t is thought that the two men drove
their own car and in reaching Coyote
Wells, left the car and pr0ceeded
across the sands to investigate THEN
oil holdings.
The stage drivers who came through
from San Diego last night report that
a small machine with yellow wheels is
standing about fifteen feet from the
highway few miles this side of the

chine is the one the two men came in.
A searching party frHnl the sher-
ifs office left here about noon for
Coyote Wells where it will search for
the missing men.
Horton telephoned Bells family and
received word that no messages had
been received from the men since they
left lastsSaturday. 1t was also learned
that the men were to come to the val
ley to receive the car and that they
did not drive over, but came in the

FEAR HUNGARY

PRAGUE, Aug. 12.-Large but or
derly demonstrations occurred here to-
day which were led generally by the
democratic element in protest against
the action by which Arch Duke Joseph
assumed head of the Hungarian gov
ernment.
Fears are being expressed that the
element at Vienna will join
forces backing Joseph and will ANAL
magate Austrian and Hungarian
states in an autocratic government
which would become the center of
autocratic propaganda in central Eu-
rope.
