WITH GREAT RAPIDITY

According to press dispatches from Washing
ton of January u, General March, chief of staff,
has informed the Senate military committee that
shipping arrangements have been made by which
100000 men may be transported home monthly,
and that all the American expeditionary forces

abroad in the army of occupation is to be deter
mined by President Wilson.

GENERAL INDUSTRIAL UNREST

Newspapers in both America and Europe are
commenting upon the condition of general indus
trial unrest which prevails largely because of the
slackening of industry due to the unsettled con-
ditions during the present interval between the
armistice and the signing of peace. The demobi-
ization of soldiers also is causing condition of
unemployment which threatens to become more
serious as time goes on.
Dr. George w. Kirchwey, New York state di-
rector Of the United States employment service,
states that 100000 war industries workers
throughout the land and 100000 men who
served under the colors at home or abroad are
involved in the process of shifting back to peace
basis

Across the front page of the Chicago Herald
and Examiner, of january Is, the following
headline appeared in big, glaring type: EURO
PEAN TO RULE WORLD"
Never before in the history of the world has
an event occurred of such sweeping Importance
as the formation of the league of nations now in
process of construction at the peace conference
in Paris
According to foreign dispatches appearing in
the press of last Saturday. "a permanent secretar-
lat for the league will be presided over by man
of authority and experience in European affairs,
sitting at the capital of the league with all neces
sary diplomatic immunties."
One writer states: "The league of nations will
be tremendous worldwide organization, cost
ing much money, time and attention"
1t is planned that all international bodies now
existing and any which may be created, must be
brought together in some central place. which will
be the capital of the league and work in close
cooperation with the league. Periodic meetings
of the leagues delegates are provided for, but
it is pointed out that it probably will be con-
ven1ent for the various governments concerned
to appoint representatives to the capital who will
act for their countries until more authoritative
delegates arrive
The plan excludes some states, like Germany,
from the league, for the present. on the ground
of untrustworthiness, but holds that this excu-

they have shown their ability to maintain order
and stable government.
1t is planned to establish permanent court of
international justice before which all disputes
and differences between nations will be brought.
Assistance and guidance also will be given to new
and undeveloped states. Commercial relations
and freedom of transit between members of the
league will be guarded A central body to rule
on the question of trade in ammunition and arms
will be appointed, and like central body for
handling international labor questions also is pro-
vided for in the plan.
That this worldwide league will be costly
machine, is evident; and the United States and
all other governments involved will each have to
share their part of the responsibility

imposed upon each nation included For in

any part of the world, and for this and other
reasons the plan is meeting with considerable OPP
position in Congress.
However, it must be borne in mind that the
general outline of the league is as yet but roughly
of the various nations sitting in conference at

which all contracting governments will eventually

SHEEP THE SAFEST ANR
SUREST INVESTMENT
E. H. Ray Of Surrey Reports Making
an Average of rs Per Cent on His
Investment in Three Year
Period.

As to what class of livestock is the
safest and surest investment is the
question in the minds of great many
farmers. There are few farmers in
the western half of this state who do
not realize that eventually they are
going to have to raise more live stock
and less wheat. The farmer who for
the last three years has not had all his
eggs in one basket and has not been
depending on small grains alone, is
making affair interest on his invest
ment and his stock is improving and
his land is increasing in value.
Ed. Ray of Surrey, who began with
sheep three years ago, has realized
an average Of 76 per cent on his in
vestment and makes the following
statement:
"In the fall of 1916 l bought i2O
head of ewes. paid for all feed and
care. during that year up to Deem
Der LIST, 1917. I had net gain of
$831.19, or 70 1-3 per cent on an in
vestment Of $3.50.
"In 1918 my net gain (regardless Of
loss of 10 good ewes and three lambs
by founder) was $850O0. / sold this
year $460.85 worth Of wool and es-
innate that on October LIST the 129
lambs, this years crop, will net 5000
per head, bringing my profit for this
year to approximately $125OOO.
after three years experience in
sheep raising, firmly believe that an
investment in sheep for the average
farmer in Ward county will bring a
greater return than any other invest
ment They take less care, less feed,
and are subject to fewer diseases than
any other CLASS Of livestock.
"The cost of feeding them is compar-
atively small because they can be pas
tured on weeds and they thrive on
screenings and waste that other live
stock will not eat.
II also figure that derive great
deal of benefit from the sheep in clean
ing up the weeds about the farm and
from the manure as fertilizer.
"On land that intend to summer
fallow, the sheep are pastured until
time to pillow and aside from keeping
the weeds down they utilize land
| which. otherwise would have been idle.
"While l do not wish to discourage
the raising of other classes of live
stock, the advantages I find in sheep
are that they require less care and
there is less work in disposing of the
products. However, one must bear in
mind that during the lambing season,
sheep require great deal of care.
81 started raising sheep without
any knowledge of the business and
have acquired some by experience and
some from my neighbors, whom I wish
to thank for their suggestions.
"1n starting in sheep l would ad-
| wise investing in small number be-
cause the inexperienced sheep raiser
stands smaller chance of loss.
"R. c. Shorb of Surrey started with
SO head of ewes and this spring they
dropped q pairs Of twins and 9 sin
gles."

FARMER UNABLE TO
HELP HIS BOYS
Kettner Was So Rundown He Could
MT WOrk-Gains % Pounds
on Tanlac.

"You can't blame me for talking so
much about Tanlac; for it has not only
added twenty-eignt pounds to my
weight, but has completely overcome
my troubles" said 0. A. Kettner, a
well known and prosperous farmer
who lives ON Route No. /, Downs, Ill.,,
the other day.
II just thought was doomed to suf-
fer the rest of my days." continued Mr..
Kettner, "and guess that,would have
been the case if had not gotten hold
of Tanlac. You see, had been in
bad health for about twelve years,
and l failed completely to find any
thing that would do me any good. My.
stomach was in such bad condition
that would just suffer agonies every
time l ate anything. My food would
sour on my stomach and would be
all bloated up with gas for hours at
time. My kidneys were out of or
der all the time, too, and would have
the worst sort of pains in the small of
my back. Then rheumatism struck
me, and from that time on I had all
the suffering that was coming to me.
Why, got so bad off that / couldn't
even help the boys do little jobs around
the place. just went from bad to
worse, and finally made up my mind
that would just have to give up try
ing to run my farm.
"Well, l heard about this Tanlac
then, and bought couple of bottles,
and began taking it. Now, the first
two bottles didn't seem to do me any
good at all, and was about ready to
drop Tanlac, but figured that my case
was one Of long standing, and that
hadn't given the medicine good
showing so bought one more bottle.
That third bottle hit the spot, and in
little or no time l was picking up
right along, and from that time on
/ improved as fast as any man you
ever saw and l am as hale and hearty
as ever was in my life. never have
a sign Of rheumatism now, and my
kidneys seem to be in first class con-
dition. l don't believe I ever had
better appetite, and l get away with
three square meals every dav, and I
am never bothered with indigestion
or any other kind Of stomach troubles
now. / can get out in the field and do
as much work in day as any man on
my farm. Yes sir, Tanlac was God
send to me, and I just feel like want
the whole world to know about this
wonderful medicine"
Tanlac is sold in Minot by the Tay-

Gently on high authority that native
discomfort was never more pronounced

issuing bolshevist literature in the ma

Zulu, calling upon the natives to
strike off their chains and free them
selves, was read in court. The general
feeling is that the circulation OF such

that alien and bolshevist agitators
should be deported.

JeweIry Reveals History.

Increasing demand for all-Americaa
iewelry, designed from ancient models
fashioned by the Aztecs and Toltecs of
Mexico has brought to light striking
similarity between them and those Of
the contemporaneous Roman empire.
The characteristic features of Ros
man jewclry were its broad surfaces,
massive construction. use of large
stones and open-work ornament The
same features are equally true of the
aboriginal American jewelry, and of
that of the restoration now in vogue.
Betokening strength and luxury,
they both differed radically from the
iewelry of the Greeks and Etruscans,
especially in that the latter was chief
ly distinguished by its delicate beauty
and minutely cunning workmanship.
Comparatively. it is the difference be
tween the imposing canvas and the
miniature. Montezuma and the Aztec
nobles--and their Toltec predecessors
wore this magnificent, colorful Jew
elry, and so did the emperors and no
bles of Rome. while both great en-
pires were tiourishng at the same pc
