The Shoe Question Has
Everybody Puzzled

We hear more comment over the shoe
question than anything else. Frankly,
we say that shoes are unusually high.
We wish we could help it but it's be-
yord our power to do that.
But no one should be nlisled by
"false economy" especially in shoe
buying. You might as well throw your
money away as to buy an inferior
shoe today.
We've solved the shoe question
for many people in this way: Buy
shoes of good quality, something that
is made of pure leather and will stay
with you. Of course, the cost per pair
may be slightly more, but you'll save
in the long run. It'll be more by the
pair and less by the year"

List of Equipment Necessary to Fur

Dairy Division.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricu1ture)
A letter has been sent by the dairy
division of the United States depart
ment of agriculture to 1900 health Of
fcers in cities having over 5000 popu-
lation urging the city governments to
supply the health officers with proper
laboratory equipment so they can ade-
quately guard the city milk supply. A
health department without a labora-
tory equipment is as helpless as a sol
diep without arms, says the letter. A
city government has no right to hold
its health department responsible for
the health of the community unless ii
has provided the department with the
equipment necessary to wage the fight
against disease.
The work of supervising the safety,
cleanliness and purity of it's city milk
supply is one Of the most important
duties of the modern health depart
ment. Bacteria, dirt, added water and
personalities in milk cannot be deter
mined without chemical and bacteria
logical apparatus. The letter gives q
list of the equipment necessary to fur
nish a laboratory for milk analysis.

NEW QUEEN AT BELTSVILLE
Calamity Wayne Pauline II Completes
Year Test, Producing Eleven Tons
of Milk.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A new queen reigns in the herd of
Holsteins on the government expert
ment farm at Beltsville, Md. She is
as unassuming and peace loving as
any of her subjects, although she bears
the name Calamity Wayne Pauline IL,
and has just completed test in which
she produced in a year more than IL
tons of milk. In 365 days she pro-
duced 22,547.S pounds of milk which
averaged 3.S05 per cent butter fat, the
total fat being 1854 pounds.
This animal was selected by dairy
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture from q Michi-
gan herd in July, 1917. She was
brought to the Beltsvllle farm, where
she produced a heifer calf, and was
started on her test December Z, 1917,
at the age of eight years. The test
was run through the coolest winter

A son of Calamity Wayne Pauline II
has been placed at one of the govern

A KINGS PRAISES

There will be but d few Americans who are not pleased at the expression of appre- citation and words of praise spoken Tues day in the senate by Albert. king of Bel gium, about the American army Tho all of Us are convinced of the part that our forces played in the final decision of the war, it is gratifying to know that others than our selves have that same realization of its i'm portance.
 Of all the leading actors ill the war drama that occupied the world stage for four long and terrible years, none emerged into the light of peace with a more cn- hanced reputation that did Belgium $ rul- CT. Nor did any people come thru the strug- gle with a greater reputation for stcadfast- ness of spirit, unWayering loyalty under trying circumstances, and bravery when to be brave and unyieIding seemed to cquiva- lent to committing suicide, than did the nation over which King Albert has the honor to preside.
 Few momarchs of modern times can match his splendid record. And when he declares that the part that American arms played in the allied victory was the decisive one, his words can be accepted at their face value, for he was in the fight from the first and knows intimately the conditions that confronted the allied forces when the Yn- kee troops fared forth to meet the Hun.
 Americans have but little in common with kings. But there is hinship that exists between the brave of all stations be he king or private soldier, and in such kin ship is found the beginning of universal demOcracy

AMENDMENTS BLOCKED

With the defeat of the Johnson amend ment to the league covenant by the senate last Monday, it seems more than ever ap- parent that the supporters of the President for an unqualified ratification are strong enough to keep the treaty from being tex tually amended. The amendment proposed by Senator Jones was slilfully drawn and cunningIy devised with the intent to draw ing support from members of all parties, and was so worded as to make it appear that a vote against it's adoption would look as if it were also cast against the United States.
 It is true that the supporters of the treaty were barely able to bring about its defeat, but that they did must have been a surprise to the Lodge forces. Since early in September these forces have been pro claiming on all occasions that they were sure of the adoption of the Johnson amend ment In fact they gave out figures show ing that the President could not muster more than 36 votes and probably less than that number.
 Altho the margin was close the amend ment was defeated, as it should have been. There never was the slightest use for it; 1t was conceived to meet condition that did not exist It sought to twist facts into queer shapes and had it been adopted would have resulted in an inequal repre- sentation on the league assembly, instead of righting an inequality for which it was ostensibly proposed. Had 1t been passed by the senate, it would in effect have given the United States I members on the league assembly to the six of England and her dominions, and would in no way have changed the makeup of the league council, the really important functioning body of the league, on which both the United States and England will have one and only one vote.
 Of all the original amendments pro posed, this was the most likely of passage. It's fate must convince even Senator Lodge

AIuEklCAIY GIRL
 lELLS TALE OF
 IYPnUS PLAGUE

TOKYO lH) In letter from Omsk, Siberia, Miss Charlotte Board man Rogers, oI New York City, who was ou the western front when the koIchak armies recently evacuated d number of cities, writes d pitiable story Ol the horrors of typhus which she personally observed as nurse Ol tAe American Red Cross. Under date ol July 20 she says:
 "l have spent twenty-tour hours in belt Our train Was stalled at the railway station of Petropayloysk, FaI Western Siberia, and somewhere to the wet of Us the Red armies were coming on.
 To the right of US, left of us, rear of us, were typhus fever trains, box cars, passenger cars, twenty-five, lhir.y, even thirly-fiye cars to train and -aII loaded with men from the front and from the evacuated hos pita,s, with hundreds thousands of patirArs dying of the dread disease.
 No nurse waited on them, no doc tors administered medicines to stim- uIata the action of their weakened hearts. They lay on rough board shelves erected around the sides and ends Ul the cars, or on the floor were even catUlemen would have placed straw il animals were to be carried. No sanitary conyeniences were sup piled. the patients clothes were stained with filth and blood; their feet cahed with mud and manure; their bodies alive with little gray typhCs Hce-the plague of Siberia.
 "CIe2k bones proruded thru their yellow skin, eyes sunken into their sockets, hands like binds claws stretched out with cups for water, they by all day in the sweltering heat.
 We tried to look away but all day long we heard them moan or call for their sanitary attendants.
 "Our trip from Omsk to the e-- treme font and back again at a time when the Siberian government armies Were falling back before the Reds has revealed in all it's pitifulness the tremendous need of Russian hospi- tals, sanitary trains and dressing statiCrs for every kind of supply.
 "Allho the American Red Cross has been sending train after train to Westelr Siberia, so vast is the need that m.ny more trains are necessary to meet even the most primal neces- sities Yet those of us who have seen the immediate improvement in hospitals and sanitary trains where American Red Cross supplies have come in are immensely encouraged, knowing that every pound of ab- sorbept cotton, every ounce of drugs, every yald of gauge, can be used in WostCr1 Siberia to save a life"

POLICIES AND POLITICS.
(American Legion WcekIy.)

The American Legion Weekly has been asked by Texas correspondent to define the phrase "PoIicics-Not Politics." Does it mean that the Legion will have nothing to do with politics?
 The Weekly is going to have consider able to say on the general topic at an carly date In the meantime we hasten to a~- sure our Texas interrogator and any oth- CTS who may be interested that while the American Legion adhcreS to its slogan "Poicics-not Politics. it concpiyabIv will have a great deal to do with politics. Not with marrow partisan politics. The Legion was conceived and IS being built of big ness and soundness far above that But 1t is going to take cognizancc of what is sound practice and what is not sound prac- tice in the political rcadjustmcnt of the country. Its members are not going to wink at political flabbincss and political rottemess. Nor are they going to tcmpor- ize with public servants or WouId-bc pub lie servants whose AmcricaniSm is found tainted with suspicion,
 The word has gone out aIrcady-Na- tiOnal headquarters sent tito every one of the 3,4O0 posts urging vigorous opposi- tion to aspirants for public office whose loyalty to America has been brot in Quc~- tion The question of party utilization is not of the slightest moment or considcra- tion This is entirely matter of policy and sound practice. There is no place in public life for draft-dodging slackers, any more than there is for the type of stacker who was able to buy Liberty bonds and faiI- ed to do so. We do not believe the public wants to put them there, and we do not believe they are going to be put there in the future. Certainly not if the American Legion can prevent it, and we believe it can.
 The day of reckoning for pseudo Americans, nearAmericans and little Americans in public life approaches the dawn.
