Read Attacks LEAGUE Of Nations.

Washington, May 26.-The
league Of nations was debat-
ed in the senate again today
with an increasing show Of
bitterness.
Senator Reed, Democrat of
Missouri, attacked the pro"
posai in such vigorous terms
that he aroused repeated OBJ
iections from senators sup
porting it and developed a
running debate colored bv
dramatic accusations and
heated reports. The Mis-
souri, senator declared the
league would place the desti>
MES OF the white race in the
hands of superstitious and
ignorant nations Of black and
yellow popu n, and
charged that many Demos
Gratis were supporting it for
Paltiss n reasons.
In frequent interruptions
of the Missouri Senator'S
speech, Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, ranking Democrat
of the foreign relation com>
mittee, insisted that the pre-
misses for these charges we're
false and that the infer.
ences drawn were unfair and
dangerous. He drew in re-
turn a reply from Senator
Knox, Republican Of Pennsyl
vania, who suggested that
supporters Of the league cove
nant should read it hefol @
they discussed it.
So heated did the exchang-
es become at one point that
the chair wrapped for order
and Senator Reed declared
that Senator Hitchcock had
lost his temper.

HeIena Lumber Co. r-> Disposes Of Plant

Helena, Ark, Oct. 15.-For the consideration of $75,000 the Deni- son lumber plant at West Helena has become the property of the Poinsett Lumber and Manufactur- ing Company, said to be the lumber cutting plant of the Singer Sew ing Machine Company, which main- tains an assembling shop at Cairo. J. w. Denison in relinquishing. his plant at West Helena, announces that he will continue to live there. MT. Denison is mayor of West Hell ena. The deal is to become opera tive in 60 days.
 It is believed at least 2,000 pop ulation will be added to West Hell ena under the new ownership, which will employ 1,500 men. It is further understood the Poinsett company will shortly dismantle its plant at Cairo, H., and remove the machinery and skilled workmen to West Helena. It is further stated that the Cairo concern has used the plant for assembling sewing ma chimes and this part of the industry will perhaps come to West Helena.
 The Poinsett company has availa- ble large quantity of timber for cutting into lumber for sewing machine cabinets. 1t is said the

for having more sense than to do it, well, few people ever acquire sufficient sense to wish they had more; and so civilized man keeps on shaving and subjecting himself to quite needless torture.
 With almost every man who slaves there come time when he loses his vanity, maybe, or becomes either too busy or too lazy to con tinue the practice. So he grows a beard. When he reaches this stage man has generally seen-and felt enough of his razor, and is anx- ious to get rid of it. A few do re- tain them-generally those who are troubled with corns. Some perpe- trate the unfeeling cruelty of giv- ing them to their sons when they reach the shaving age. Others present them to their friends; and others, again, give them to their enemies.
 I think a tax should be imposed upon all men who shave. This is aot beeause I have grown a beard myself, but because of the valuable time lost to the nation through this useless operation. Take 10 min utes as the average time for shay ing each morning, and, for the sake of simplicity, let us estimate the number of men who shave every day in London at 100000. This gives us 10,000,000 minutes, which, I find, works out at something like 19 years. Think of it! Nineteen years of precious time wasted in shaving every morning, and this, remember, in London alone. It is surely a wicked waste Measures should be taken to save its value to the nation, and if the chancellor of the exchequer takes this hint, he may tap valuable source of reve- nue.

All regular services continue at the Presbyterian church Tn spite Of the weather. Clouds, rain and snow, as well as company, keep in some, but not all. If the weather and conditions are so only few can attend, remember we always plan to have the service. The hour and the day is what we make 1t. The open church and the passing day lodges responsibility. It means the use or loss of opportunity. It IS for Christians to make much of the church and its services.

There was a dog, once, in the Post Office Department, that care lessly walked into a postal car at Albany, N. Y. The clerks liked the dog, kept him and determined to make a world travelled dog out of him. He went to every big city in the United States as the guest of the railway postal clerks. Tn San Francisco he was awarded medal and presented with travelling bag m which to carry his blanket and credentials. He went on a steam shlp to Yokohama and was given the freedom of the Japanese em- pire. The Chinese emperor gave him personal passport. He re- turned to America by way of Suez. and completed his trip around the world in 132 days, bringing back more than 200 medals, tags and certificates as testimonials of his travels.

Here is a man who really ought not to be allowed to live. He has evolved problem that reduces to mental chaos any man who tries to solve it: Suppose, he says, a pipe with bore little larger than the thickness of a mans body, were pierced through the earth, and a ladder ran through the. length of the pipe. Assume a man starts through the pipe from London to an Antipodean island. He descends the center of the earth. When he going downward until he reaches the center fthe earth. When he reaches the center of the earth he, presumably, will thnceforth be go- ing upward, until he emerges at the antipodes. But how can a ladder on which one is descending become a ladder on which one is ascend ing? Furthermore, how could one go up ladder feet foremost?

The guest, after attending to the hanging up of his hat and coat, seats himself and scans the menu card. He writes his order and drops it into a slot on the table. A kitchen attendant places the dishes which the patron has ordered on the pro- per train, which stops automatic ally at the patrons table The used dishes are put on the train by the guest and they are whisked back to the kitchen. When he has finished his meal he pays the cashier and goes out.

WHY MEN MUST SHAVE
Beardless Savages Have More

Civilized man might almost be de- scribed as a shaving animal, ac- cording to the Edinburgh Scots man. Uncivilized man, as a rule, does not shave, partly perhaps, ow- ing to the fact that he has more sense than to do it, and partly be- cause he has no beard to shave. Every morning I feel sure there must be thousands of men who wish as l do, that they had been born savages simply In order to enjoy beardless existence. As

A farmer put his false teeth in glass of water overnight. A heavy frost came and froze the teeth solid in the glass. He went to the kitchen to make fire and thaw the teeth out, but not a match could he find in the house. It was 4 a. m. He couldn't eat without his teeth, he couldn't talk. He hitched up, drove into town six miles, woke up a friend, and, after much ges- ticulation, finally told the friend that he wanted some matches.
