CONVENTION TO MEET
IN AUGUST NEXT YEAR

Before adjournment sine die the
farmers convention voted to hold
their meeting next year during the
second week in August, instead of the
fourth week in July. The convention
will therefore meet next year in the
County High School on the second
Tuesday of August. 1t is believed
that this date will suit the conven-
fence of the farmers better than the
meeting in July.

Chairman Hays. Pradiotion


 We hope that Chairman Hays prediction that the peace treaty will be promptly amended and ratified is accurate. But there evidently serious doubt whether it be amended and in the event of the failure of amendment, there is an apprehension not far removed from certainty that it will be rejected
 Ordinarily it would make very little difference to this country whether we join in the peace treaty or not. We from it nothing except the Island of Yap and as the most of not aware of it's ex- stence until read the treaty. we should probably not miss it if we should lose it. It would. how ever be desirable acquisition if we could make it the abiding place that citizens who are frequently spoken of as "Yaps.g But from our m- tied knowledge of it's dimensions we judge that it would be too small We must have several millions of Yaps among us on street corners, in clubs. in public meetings in street cars and railway carriages Wherev- there is that may be suspected of becoming attentive "yap' appears and begins to "Yap"
 In the circumstances. however it is quite import ant that the peace treaty should be disposed of there issonly way to dispose of it without disturbance and that by it's ratification. Rejection, while it would dispose of the treaty, would leave an issue of the treaty would leave an issue which would cre- ate great deal confusion the country and would affect disasirously much legislation of which the nation stands in need especially in tnis neriod of readjustment.

Nothing else seems to matter one way or other, even love. It is horrible even to think back to those days. But Mrs. Kymbal has told you the story It is her secret no longer.

 Somehow I wanted to tell Mary Thomas what an astonishing thing had happened Certainly she would want to know what had become of her precious trove. With a sob in my throat. as I tried to realize that the dead no longer heed the deeds of the living, I went straight to the TO- m where the little dancing girl was stretched in her coffin.
 Those whose business it is to care for the dead had come and gone. Mother Lorimer herself had ordered the services of the famous Bronson. He had laid out senators and the wives of multi-millionaires. At Mrs. Lori mer's request, he had worked well and the little cabaret favorite looked in her casket like fairy queen awaiting burial
 In her short life the girl had known the worst. and perhaps the best of human emotions. Death had wiped away the little lines of sophisticatfon about the mouth and eyes which had been the only shadow on her pretty face.
 She slept in her coffin like a wrath of beauty. She was so small-so un- important-a mere bubble on lifes cauldron. It was hard for me to realize how many terrible problems her death had canceled for the tribe of Lorimer.
 Daddy's political career was safe at last Scandal could not destroy 1t. Dear Mothers faith in him was insured forever It wasn't fair for the power ful Eorimers to profit so greatly by the girls death, I thought bitterly. And I turned away. and faced dear Mother.
 Who is it, Jane?9 she asked, taking my arm.
 "A dancing girl--turned diver" was all I could answer.
 And her name is-Mary Thomas! q murmured Mother, her soft cheek against my hair.
 Mother dear!" I cried out. How do you know that?.

 In all lilllihood, the shimmy would have perished naturally without as- sault on esthetic or moral grounds. It became popular because it was daringly wicked and it was daringly wicked because it came up into out wardly respectable society from the fetid shadows of the neither world. Slang, music and dance steps origi- hating on levels where. decency is dis graceful, are eagerly adopted by proper folk who like to play at being bad.

 The shimmy, and similar public squirmings, are too brazen to be se- ductive and too crude and ungraceful to allure for long.

 Q. Which live longest, fat people or thin people? T. D. F.
 A. Tables prepared by insurance companies show that people who are twenty pounds under average weight are longest lived. The more flesh peo- pie put on above this minimum the more likely they are to die. A per son who is sixty pounds over weight is twice as likely to die as a thin per- son. Few fat people live to be old When the system begins to break down the vital organs are unable to sup Iort this burden of extra weight.

Mother Lorimer Watches Over Queen

 One end of the metal tube caved in at the pressure of my fingers. The substance of it was thin and easily bent; probably it was only the outer sheathe which had covered the strong case holding the pearls. And Jo Bach had told me that he had been an expert mechanic on the U-boatl He himself had slowed the gems in the torpedo shell under an officers supervision. Doubtless he knew the number of the wrappings which enclosed the gems. doubtless he had shaped those awful claws which had gripped that delicate hand of the Queen Of Smiles,
 Under the shock of Mary's tragic death, I had forgotten all about Jo Bach. But as l fingured that empty metal tube l could almost picture how he had removed the gems from 1t.
 The motorboat which had taken me out to the tug had been lowed back by it. That [ recalled distinctly for 1 had watched it ride the waves be- hind us while the captain told me of the disaster. It was empty Jo Bach and the sailor must have followed me aboard the tug.
 And the crew of the tug, except the engineer, mate and stoker, had made a. circle around me while the captain talked. Then it must have been that the Hun had slipped away. unobserved, to the berth in the cabin, and had opened the tube and taken out it's con- tents. It had been clever of him to leave the outer pipe in the dead girls grip. Had that been missing. the crew would have been searched before land ing.
 I tossed the tube into my dresser and rushed down to the dock

 On the hand, think, that but for the vanity of the president these reservations which would not inn pair the treaty or the covenant beyond such impair ment as might be desirable to safeguard American interests would be readily agreed to and the matter could be quickly disposed of The proponents of the amendments whether they are sincere not would then be forced into the open and would either be compelled to support the treaty to stand with small and inadequate minority.
 And it is very small number of who have created and are maintaining the mpasse There is really only on the side. the president 'mis- idealism" and the other, very small group of republicans and one two democrats who deavorng bring by indrection. the rejection of the treaty.

Weekly Grain Statement.

Chicago, April 19.-Immense ship ment ot foodstuffs to Europe have re- suited this week in record breaking high prices for provisions and have lltted cereal values to the topmost level yet this season. Compared with week ago, the corn market this morning was 3-1 cent to 3 5-S cent up, oats at an advance of 1 1-4 to , Is and provisions showing gains of cents to S2.8O.
 Food administration officials were quoted as saying that life and order In Europe depended on the speedy outflow of supplies from this side of the Atlantic arm i.la, < comprchen- sive survey indicated world demand for wheat would absorb virtually the entire surplus from the 1919 harvest in the United States without impair ing much, if at all, the billion dollar fund provided by congress.
 Oats displayed independent strength on account of serious delays to seed ing.
 The big jumps in provisions were ascribed to the urgency of export de- mand together with falling off in the volume of hog arrivals.
