ON THE INSTRUMENT

Scoring the league OF nations under

fensive secrecy" which he declared
was against the ideal set forth by the
Constitution. United States Senltor l..
Heisler Ball addressed the Mems Luih-
eran Club Of Zion Lutheran Church.

Senator Bail took the negative side in
discussing the .ague OF nations nlan
and the spontaneous and hearty So
plause with which his various points
were received, showed the audience 10
be in full accO with his Views.
The one big difficulty OF the l,ague
as u now stands, asserted the Senator.
is that 10 tends 10 weaken the soyer-
eighty OF the United States al time
when she and h.r citizenship are re-
spected more than ever before in the
history Of the world. The senator also
said that a proper covenant for fhe
iulfllment OF those various nrinci-
Piles which the league set forth is fofaie
ly lacking.
The Senator said In part:
mere never was a time when the
united states was so respected and
honored as she is today. There never
was time when her citizenship stood
as nigh In the respect Of the world as
It does today.
In the war just closed she has met
every requirement whether lt be In
money or men; and the men furnished
nave proven equal in bravery and efl-
cheney to those Of any of the trained
nations OF Europe.

plished in less than a century and a

Special to Tunes Republican.
Dubuque, Feb. 20.-Preparations for
the state convention of representatives
of the various branches of the Ameri-
can Alliance For Labor and Democ-
racy to be held here tomorrow and
Saturday have been completed. and ac-
cording to local leaders the outlook is
bright for big attendance.
The purpose of the gathering is to
esganize a state branch of the ma :
tional alliance, including in it's mem
bership all the local branches in the
state. 1t is expected that about fifty
representatives will be present at the
session which will be presided over by
Judge NJ. G. Matthews. of Dubuque
chairman of the state conference com :
mittee
The state organization is being per-
fected under the direction Of Robert
Maisel national director Of the Ameri-
can Alliance who will be here for the
meeting this week. Governor w. L
Harding is said TO be in sympathy
with the movement and had promised
to deliver am address to the delegates
but 1t is doubtful whether he car
come owing TO Illness. F. \. Garfield
president of the Iowa State Federation
of Labor will speak.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in the convention here and il
is believed there will be little trouble
in perfecting a state organization after
the conference once gets under way.
The conference committee which met
here several weeks ago to plan the
meeting passed resolution which en-
bodies the four principles for which
the new state organization will work
as follows:
IAN alignment Of the wage earners
and their friends in a truly patriotic
organization to advance the campaign
for 100 per cent patriotism to 100 per
cent American citizenship, to en-
courage complete elimination of n.y.

Ames, Feb, 2O.-Perhaps other Iowa
farmers than j. ID. kirkpatrick, OF
Keota, grew more corn TO the acre
last summer, but none has shown up
at the sixteenth annual Iowa Corn and
Small Grain Growers Association
show being held at Ames.
kirkpatrick was awarded the ban
ner trophy for growing $50 bushels OF
corn on an acre of ground last sea-
son. This was grown under average
conditions as he practiced them on his
farm, for the contest was not open un-
til the corn was almost ready to har-
vest, thereby preventing any contest
ant from giving his corn special care.
The corn was picked and the acre
measured by uninterested persons.
II is interesting to note that last
year this trophy. which is awarded
each year, was won by farmer In the
north central section of the state,
while this year it was taken in keo-
kuk county in the south central part.
One hundred ears from this winning
acre are on exhibit at the slow. They
show good maturity and represent a
good type OF corn. altho of course
there are nubbins and extra large
ears as Well as normal and well de-
veloped ones.
The banner trophy which was@ do
mated by President r. A. Pearson. OF
Iowa State College is a silver cup
about twenty inches high. Il is re-
tanned by the winner for one year.
