D. m. time, he jumped into his Henry
Ford and in short time returned
with dozen or more of as fine ducks
as you ever saw. But Henry is also
wise, and therefore doesn't give away
his "plant," which keep the boys on
edge, while some of them imagine
that he has gone into companionship
with doc" Shaw and Miller of Con-
wick. Whatever it may be, Henry at
least brings home the "bacon," while
the rest of them enjoy looking on.
Wedding bells have rung and their
pleasant and enchanting chimes have
already died away, and two of our
young people have enjoyed married
blessedness for the past two weeks,
unknown to their many friends here,
except for handful of their intimate
and close friends At this time we
are not going to give them away, but
will let those interested solve the
problem as best they can, for them
selves, or in groups if they feel that
way. But when finally discovered
in their neat little game played upon
their friends here, you may rest as
sured that they will receive a hot re-
ception when finally exposed.

When Germany entered upon its poll
icy Of destruction which it carried OUT
in the countries it invaded it either
figured that it would win the war or
Else it overlooked the fact that it
would be required to make good for
the havoc that it caused
There were iron fields, coal mines
and industrial establishments which
Germany was anxious to control. Tt
lost no time in taking them and using
them to the limit Just as long as it
was possible. but when it became ap-
parent that they must give them up
ard allow them TO go back into the
hands of the people to whom they be
longed there was no thought but Of
destruction, and when it. comes to
making wreck of things Germany
stands at the top of the list.
The Teutons held onto the coal min
ing region about Lens to the last mo-
ment, and it made good use of the
fuel thai it gained therefrom but be-

the mines and wrecked the mining

A SAFEGUARD EoR ROADS.

When the need Of preparing for. the
war emergency was confronted there
was some opposition to placing so
ruch responsibility in the hands Of
cra person rs was asked for in the
various bills which greatly increased
the authority Of the president For
tNc purpose Of speeding the work and
preventing avoidablc delays there was
manifested q disposition to hasten
things along and not impose restric-
tons which would not under ordinary
circumstances be looked upon as an
incumbrauce, but which might act as
such during n time Of war
How this works out IS now revealed
in connection with the power of TIE

OUR FORCES IN RUSSIA.

NJ this country TO begin to wonder

Il is not to be supposed that they
lave been forgotten or that they are
not giving good accounts of them
selves, but It is known that The num-
Ter is not large even when the troops

who are fighting with them are in

No doubt considerable relief would

policy was concerning Russia but thus
mr. there does not appear to be any,
or II there IS the administration has
taken care to see that it is not made
known, and so far as known no move

torcements to relieve the forces that

The troops were sent into northern
Russia for the purpose of protecting
large stores which had been assembled
at points along the Murman coast,
supplies which were intended for Rus
s,a while it was an active belligerent
ctssfully performed, and it is possible
that that defense has made it neces-
sarv for them to be sent against the
holshevilt for the purpose of better
protecting themselves, but as long as
they are going TO be retained there,

knowing that reinforcements are golup

given to it it becomes quite evident
that Serbia and Belgium are. deeply
interested in the matter of PREPARATION,
and Serbia would seem to he thor
oughly justified in setting forth the
claim that it is vitality interested in
the matter of the responsibility for
the war. It was between Serbia and
Austria that the trouble arose and
though there were other influences at
work it seems only right that Serbia
should want to see that its position
is properly set forth.
There can be no question but what
it is the purpose Of the representa-
tives of the larger countries. and all
delegates at the, conference for that
matter, to see that the interests oi
the small as well as the large are care
fully taken care Of, for 1t is for the
rights of the little fellow that the
struggle has been waged. but it is
quite natural that they should want
committee representation in such
matters as they refer to.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Switzerland is dasirous Of three
outlets to the sea, but it is noticeable
that it is making no effort to gain
control by force.
1t is interesting to read about the
drop in the price of certain commodi-
ties but it is another thing when one
sets out to prove it.
The thing to do is not to fiqht but
to help the natural law of supply and
demand and let the prices descend
where they should be.
Take look around the circle these
days and there are very few coun-
tries which are not dealing with
some form of labor trouble.

FIGHTING TOBACCO.

Just because the ratification of the
prohibition amendment has been Sc
cured in a very short time. once it
was started on its way by congress,
there are apparently some who feel
that every other reform should be at
tempted in the same way by getting
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition. This is indicated by the at
titude which is taken by a Syracuse
university professor relative to the use
of tobacco, and encouraged by the
success of the prohibition movement
it is perhaps quite natural that the
same method should be considered
advisable in order to prevent it's use.
But where is there going to be a
halt called in regard to making con-
stitutional amendments? Apparently
there is no thought given to that so
long as those who are working for
the benefit of the other fellow can see
a reform that ought to be put through,
whether it is an actual danger or
whether it concerns no more than the
one directly involved. If only enough
get interested in this business Of pro-
posing and working for constitutional
amendments it can be expected that
the different legislatures viii be asked
TO ratify amendments to the con-
stitution of the country which would
prevent people from eating meat be-
cause it is injurious, from drinking
tea and coffee because they arc liable
to affect ones health from chewing
gum Because it looks bad or eating
candy because it might oyertax the
digestive system.
1t is possible that some feel that the
country, and possibly the world, is go
ing to be reformed by constitutional
amendments but nothing makes the
idea appear more ridiculous than the
very thought of attemRting such a
thing.

COMMITTEE REPRESENTATION.

There are leaders among the ma
tons in the peace conference and
such leadership might justly be ex-
pected to rest upon the shoulders of
the big countries. but it is perfectly
apparent that the smaller ones have
played a most important part in the
war activity and It is quite natura!
that they should feel that they should
have a hand in the peace adjustments.
This is especially true of Belgium and
Serbia and there appears to be groun.l
for the protests which they have
made at failure to secure representa-
tiOn upon some of the leading COM
mfttees named by the conference to
look into certain matters.
They point out that they are with
out representation on the committee
on reparation and responsibility FOR
the war. No oversight may have been
intended but when consideration is
