Immediately organized a blood fued

Barrajez has long police court
record. and the reputation of being
good and quick shot. When the Mexi-
can band could not find him, they
called on the police department Of

the search, with orders to keep their
revolvers handy and not let the hunted
Mexican shoot first.

Ten Years
Mun3erTharl
His Years

Doesn't it make you feel
good-cause you to straight
en- up and feel "chesty"-
when someone guesses your
age at ten years or 80
younger than you really
are? You look into your
mirror, smile with satisfac-
ton and say to yourself:
We'll, he didn't make such
a bad guess, at that"
The point is: You're no
older than your vitality.
If a man is strong, vigor-
Gus, mentally alert, fine and
fit at so he has a better
chance Of living up to 80
than a man of 80 who is
weak and rundown has of
living up to 60. While none
OF us can stay the years nor
stop time, we should all
make an heroic effort to sue
cessfully resist the effects
OF time by ever keeping our
vitality at par.
When you sense a feeling
of slowing down of your
physical forces-when your
stomach, liver, kidneys and
other organs show signs of
weakness-when you notice
a lack of your old time pep"
and 'punch'-in other
words, when you feel your vitality
IS on the wane, you should COM

parts of terms the league Is not neces-
sary to make the peace settlement
effective.
| That as these peace commissions
are not appointed by the league but
| by the principal powers, there is no
reason why the treaty and the league
covenant should not be separated.
1 He listed these commissions, show
ing the part each will play.
This" said Moses, should be suf-
fcient not only to refute the claim
that the league of nations is an in
Indispensable instrumentality in car
rying out the provisions of this treaty;
but 1t also serves as an effective de-
NAL Of President Wilson'S defiant
claim, made in New York on March
4 that the treaty and covenant would
be so bound together that the senate
could not dissect the covenant from
the treaty without destroying both.
'If there are those who would ocn-
tinue to think Washington's farewell
address a nobler document than any
produced at Versailles, counsel them
to turn to the body of the treaty iself
and learn the full text Of the duties 1t
seeks to lay on us; the difficulties into
which it will thrust u.s."
Taking exception to President VIII
sons statement that the terms square,
as a whole, with the fourteen points,
Moses said
1--WE look in vain for the elusive
fourteen points. Open covenants long
since took to hiding; freedom of the
seas was treated with scant courtesy;
establishment of equality of trade con-
ditions among nations Is nowhere
found; the earlier doctrine Of no an
nexations and no indemities has be-
come tragic joke, and there remains
alone the league of nations.
This treaty is Intimately worse for
lis than the league, for whatever bane-
full consequences will flow to the
United States from the league are IN
the future, whereas the treaty pro-
visions, Immediately and without re-
course thrust us automatically into
the endless snarls of attempting to
get new boundaries; impose on us
part of the task Of keeping Germany
in leash and of sitting her commercial
and Industrial development"

tellers, thought first of the securities
cluttering their desks. While black

them, they carefully collected their
papers, made them safe and then
climbed through windows to the
street.
One girl leaped at window, seven
feet above the floor. Her fingers
caught, slipped and she fell back into
the path of liquid fire.

dazed victims said hours after the
fire. Several said they thought

"The machine came down, nose
first" he said TITS motors were still
roaring as 1t struck the skylight and
disappeared into the building"
J. j. Mitchell, president Of the
bank, had quilted the place three
minutes before the accident. For
half an hour he had been sitting just
where the motors landed.
At the morgues later in the even
ing there were four unidentified
bodies. Identities were established
when co-workers recalled the cloth
ing left in the cloak room. One girl,
blackened and twisted by fire, had
been stripped of all clothing but one
dainty white oxford.
One of the girls who had been
saved recognized the oxford as that
of Evelyn Myers, the pretty tele-
phone operator.
James Carpenter, who died in a
hospital, made one last request.
Take off my Shoes" he asked.
They were all he wore. He died as
nurses tried to pry the charred
leather from his feet.

Italy. Several acres OF broadcast hemp
for fibre were grown by Wisconsin
hemp farmers from seed of the Ferrara
selection produced at Madison in 1917.
The hemp growers OF Wisconsin. or
ganized and encourage by the cooper
alton OF the State Experiment station,
increased their planting last year TO
1900 acres, compared with 1000 acres
the year before. although the unfavor-
able market which was maintained by
dealers and consumers until after the
close OF the planting season resulted in
decrease throughout the country OF
about II. 900 acres from the record crop
Of Al, 900 acres the year before.
And It n all needed. for with sup
plies from Russia and Italy cut off, the
hemp mills not only OF the United
States but OF the allied nations also
must depend upon the hemp produced
In this country.
Foreign inquiries are being received
and It is reported that some American
hemp has been sold for export, the
first instance in half century.
