FORM Of interchange Of intellectual.
and. material values.
Even though the fact Of formal and
political union be advent, the c0up-
tries may Jointly determine their at-
tttude toward foreign powers, as they
tattves take part in some OF the me-
Fgotiattons In Paris.
Their wish for literal solidarity may
be gratif1ed in the form Of q defensive.
alliance within the general league Of
nations, and the removal Of customs
walls. Some day, perhaps, these
three countries. more exposed to
danger than probably any other in
Europe, may take the new initiative
but decisive and complete steps to-
ward disarmament everywhere be-
cause their future will be contingent
upon this program being made
sooner or later.
Before that happens It will. how
ever, be necessary to obtain irrevoc-
able guarantees respecting both Fin
land and slesvig-Holsten. for the
germ Of q new International disrup-
ton may yet lie in the Prussiflcation
Of q part of Slesvig-Holsten or in an
attempted new classification Of Fin
land. d
In other words: One Of the vital
problems Of the peace Fcongress-and
already recognized Is such-wiu con-
Germ the virtual naturalization Of
Finland and Slesvig-Holsten, two
buffer provinces which, If lot thus
protected, will continue for ages to
come, sources of irritation even in
spite Of binding world treaties.
Proof Against Aggression.
Nearly all the troubles of Scandi-
navia have been caused, directly and
indirectly, through friction concern
ing Finland or Slesvig-Holsten. While
Finland may be made an autonomous
state under neither Russian nor
Swedish sovereignty, arrangements
undoubtedly will be completed by
which the country's absolute neutral
ity is absolutely assured.
And as for Slesvig-Holsten q settle
ment is now being worked out to the
effect that Slesvig will be restored to
Denmark and Holster will remain q
German province, but care is taken
to render both of these provinces
harmless in the future. =.
The details of arrangements con-
corning this point have not been
made known at this time, but It may
be safe to assume that the diplomats
at Paris who know that the real cause
Of the world war lies in the Slesvig-
Holster problem and its violent tenn
porary solution fifty-ive years ago,
perceive the necessity for providing
an inflexible neutrality As the pro-
lection Of this tender spot Of the Old
World.

There is nothing perfect in this

machine built, that did not need, or
could not be improved upon. The
Nonpartisan league program is a
mighty big piece of machinery. The
oretically, it had been explained to
the farmer to consist of a state owned
elevator, flour mill, cold storage, rural
credit banks and compulsory hail in
surance. The farmers endorsed and
elected their representatives, who had
obligated themselves to put this
mighty economic machine into oper-
alton, or make laws under which
named public utilities could be put
over.

Republicans Propose a GerrymandeE
of Missouri Congressional
Districts.

A bill providing for changing the
boundary lines of Missouri Congress
sional districts was introduced in the
Senate Thursday OF last week by
Senator Elder OF St. Louis.
The bill makes no attempt to make
the districts equal in point OF popula-
ton or convenient in shape. the sole
object being TO combine counties iii
such a way as to give the Repub'.-
cans an advantage.
Cass and Johnson counties have
been taken from the Sixth district
and added to the fourth along with
Clay. Lafayette, Ray and that part
of Jackson outside of Kansas City.
which constitutes the fifth district.
In the place OF Cass and Johnson,
Barton. Dallas. Hickory, Polk AMI
Vernon, are added. to the. sixth DIS
trict.
The ninth. Champ Clark's district.
is so changed that it would be Re
publican by a good majority.
However. there is no possibility al:
such bill being passed. but it shows
what the Republicans would do il
they had the power.

A Misdemeanor to Electioneer OF
Election Day.

Jefferson City. Mo-, Jan. es.-"I
want to make voting in the rural

on election day as going to church
on Sunday is" was the explanation
made by Senator Clark Wiz OF the
Bates county district OF the bill in
troduced by him in the Senate max
ing it a misdemeanor to solicit votes
on election day publicly or privately.
The Ioo-foot limit law. which my
bill repeats, said Senator Wix, may
be enforced in the large cities. but it
is practically dead letter in the
country voting places.
The Wix bill provides that viola.
tons of the same shall be punished
by fine of not less than 500 or both
fine or Jail sentence. Under it vote
could not be solicited anywhere or at
any place on the day OF election.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is just plain
mulsifcd cocoanut oil, for IT is pure
AID entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
