= q. Grandstaff Of Canton Would
Like to See Old Red Ball Route
Made Into Permanent
Way.
PLANS ARE STARTED
This is Old State Highway and Could
Well be Used on Through
Road North and
South.

T. r. Grandstaff of Canton, Mo-, is
q good roads enthusiast. In fact he
is one of the best boosters for perma-
nent highways that there is around in
this section Of the country. He was
in Keokuk today talking over the road
situation, especially as 1t applies to
the Red Ball route and the Pershing
way route.
Mr. Grandstaff believes that efforts
should be made to keep the Pershing
way route along the Red Ball route.
He feels that aside from the fact that
the Red Ball is one of the best through
roads from st. Louis to st. Paul, there
is a bit of sentiment in the fact that
81 Is really the old state highway.
Arrangements will have to be made
for necessary road work on the high
way from Clark county to the Iowa
line. Some effort already Is being ex-
pended on this road, and it is expected
that some sort of construction pro-
gram can be secured very soon There
Is opposition to using the old state
highway but 1t is believed that this
may be overcome and the Red Ball and
Pershing way routes through Keokuk,
and on south into Clark county will be
preserved.
LAGRANGE voted $4,000 for road
work and Canton $4,000 under the
local option law last week. They will
get additional money in the shape of
federal road aid, and an equal amount
from the state.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l-Senator
Pittman's resolution embodying Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestion for peace
treaty reservations outside Of the reso-
luton Of ratification, is to lie on the
table indefinitely" democratic leaders
said today. 4StsetN
Senator Lodge, republican leader,
sent special call to all republican
senators, to be in their places
when the senate met In anticipation OF
vote on the Pittman measure, but
Pittman decided not to call 1t up
today.
Later democratic senators explained
that Pittman had never intended to
bring it to vote although Pittman
himself said yesterday he did SO In
tend. He merely introduced it as
suggestion to reservationists, Senator
Hitchcock explained. Had 1t been
called up republicans were ready to
send 1t to the foreign relations com:
mittee which would have killed 1t.
Many democrats also advised against
letting 1t come to vote now, on the
ground that 1t would commit the party
and still leave the republicans free to
ratification. After conferences with
democrats and republicans Pittman de
cided to compose statement which 1t
was said he will issue later In the day.
DR.. John G. Ferguson, adviser to the
president of China on the Shantung
award, was again before the senate
foreign relations committee today. he
told how Japan forced China to accept
the twenty-one demands made early
| in 1915. Among other threats by
which Japan gained her will, Ferguson
said, was one that Japan would not
return Kao Chow to China unless the
twenty one demands were granted,
The American minister in Pekin,
Ferguson said, urged the Chinese gov.
eminent to refuse to agree to the
demands. He did not know whether
Minister Reinsch did this under IN
structions from Washington or on his
own initiative. $SwiN 81
Ferguson said the Lansing.1shii
agreement was very unfortunate"
from China's point of view.

The Gallery,s Own.

New York Evening Post: The gal.
lery knoweth its own. When 1t is
directly appealed to it responds,
whether in theater or in the senate.
The robustious actor who declaims
against the man who would raise his
hand against a woman, save in the
way of kindness, is cheered in exact
" the same way that Senator Lodge
was when he confessed, In broken
voice, that he remained an American.
The gallery not only applauded the
Massachusetts senator who refused to
belong to other nations, but looked
down in kind Of fury to see what SEN
ator would dare rise and proclaim
himself anti.American. This whole
episode is one of those which Burke
spoke of as diffusing gayety over the
severe brow Of moral freedom. That
said, ell is said about 1t that need be.

The world need fear no calami-
tous effects from the peculiar con-
figuration of the planets that viii
take place next Wednesday, accord
ing to statement by DR.. Harlan I.
Stetson of the Harvard astronomi-
cal laboratory, issued at New York
Saturday.
Predictions of floods, electrical
storms, riots and other disturbances
of far effect, credited recently to a
popular meteorological scientist. are
based on nothing more substantial
than "hot air. DR.. Stetson said
There is absolutely no founda-
ton for predicting any of the phe-
nomena, such as riots, which have
been described as possibilities, he
continued. I'VE can rest assured
that our lives will remain untroub-
led on December II by anything
which could be traced to the position
of the planets
On December II, according to the
Harvard scientist, all the plan els,
with the exception of the earth, will
lie in an approximate line with the
sun and all of them except Uranus
will be on the same side of the sun
