DEVELOPING A JERSEY CENTER

While Guernsey cattle are finding a
welcome in Southeast Missouri, the
Jerseys are being invited to south
west Missouri. In fact, Jasper county
has set out to make itself a purebred
Jersey county. Buyers came up from
Arkansas and bought most of the
grade Jerseys, according to reports to
the University of Missouri College Of
Agriculture, and the farmers are re-
placing, the animals sold with pure
breds. A buying committee was sent
out from the farm bureau late in Ju-
ly to buy ITS purebred Jersey calves.
Another club is organizing in the
county and hopes to be able to buy 100
purebred Jerseys.

WEATHER HOLDS UP R-s4.
Giant British Dirigible May Not
 Leave Until Friday.

Mineola, N. l., July B.. Maj. c. H. Scott. commander of the giant Brit ish dirigible R-34, tonight informed the crew that the start on the return voyage to Great Britain, scheduled for dawn tomorrow, would be delayed at least eighteen and possibly twen- ty-four hours.
 This action was taken after the re- eeipt from the weather bureau at Washington of reports showing that whereas headwinds over consider able part of the course would be en- eountered tomorrow, a favorable southwest current probably would set in along the Atlantic coast north of New York Thursday or Friday.
 Major Scotts decision resulted in the cessation of all work in the two engines in the rear gondola, which are the only ones that have not been thoroly overhauled. The minor re pairs necessary on these engines are expected to take but few hours, so that the time of departure is now ab- solutely dependent upon the weather.

TEUTONS RAT|FY
 PEACE TREATY
Hun National Assembly First Elective Body of Signatory Powers to Act Vote POS to 1l5-President Ebert
 Must Sign Resolution.

Weimar. July 9-The resolution ratifying the peace treaty was adopt ed today by a vote of POS to l15.
 The German national assembly is the first elective body in any country whose representatives signed the treaty to adopt a ratifying resolution. The treaty has been laid before the British. French and Belgian parlia- ments, and will be placed before the senate of the United States Thursday by President Wilson.
 Weimar, July 9.--The text of tho ratification resolution as introduced Tn the national assembly, consisted of two clauses, reading as follows;
 ''The peace treaty between Ger many and the allied and associated powers signed on June 2S, 1919, and the protocol belonging thereto, as well as the agreement relative to the occu- patton of the Rhineland, signed the same day, are agreed to.
 "This law comes into force on the day of it's promulgation."
 Ratification of the peace treaty by the German national assembly re- moves all doubt of the acceptance of the terms by Germany.
 The national assembly by ratifying the treaty makes it possible for the allied and associated powers to raise the blockade. Official notification was sent Germany June 29, that the blockade would be raised when the treaty was ratified. Placing this con- dition on the raising of the blockade was looked upon in peace conference as a sure plan for securing speedy ratification by Germany.
 The council of five on Monday de- cided to lift the commercial censor ship on communications with Ger many simultaneously with the remov- al of the blockade.
 The peace treaty does not become effective for all the signatory pow CTS until three of the great allied pow CTS in addition to Germany have rati- fled it.
 The resolution adopted by the al- lied council concerning the blockade was as follows:
 "The superior blockade council is instructed to base it's arrangements for resembling restriction upon trade with Germany upon the assumption that the allied and associated powers will not wait to raise the blockade until the completion of the ratification as provided for at the end of the treaty with Germany, but it is to be raised immediately upon receipt of information that the treaty of peace has been ratified by Germany"
 Promulgation of the resolution rati- flying the treaty is dependant upon the signing of the resolution by Pres ident Ebert.

BUY TRACTOR FOR
 USE ON STREETS
City Council, in Adjourned Session, Decides Mechanical Power Is Need ed for Working Municipal Thoro-
 fares and Orders a Fordson.

Mena is to have tractor for use for municipal street work. This was decided upon at an adjourned meet ing of the city council held Wednes- day night at the city hall.
 After considerable debate the six city dads unanimously agreed to ac- cept c. A. Proctor's offer and purchase the Fordson tractor he has been dem- onstrating on the city streets. The tractor win cost $8s5. The city dads felt that it was waste of time and good money to attempt to do street work with horses and decided to try mechanical power for while.
 The Fordson is believed to be large enough to pull a small grader and other light work For all heavy grad ing it is planned to use the county's bigger machine. The tractor can also be used to operate the city's rock crusher and to pull a wagon or other vehicle needed for hauling.
 It is the intention of the city fath- CTS to keep the new Fordson busy dragging the main streets of the mu- nicipality, and as fast as additional streets are graded to drag them, also
 In the absence of Mayor Smith, City Clerk Martin presided. The council discussed street improvements and de- cided to push needed work as rapidly possible. A bridge has been order ed constructed on East Jansen ave nue.
 Supt. George Duganne of the water works presented a request for an in crease of salary, but the council took the matter under advisement and will determine 1t later. Superintendent Duganne is asking for $100 monthly.

Calls It a Just Peace.

New York, July President Will son returned to theesu, ,oJstmakHOT son in his first speech delivered on American soil since the Peace Treaty was signed, declared that the peace concluded at Paris was "a just peace, which, if it can be preserved, will safeguard the world from unneees- sary bloodshed"
 The ouly reference the President made to his political opponents was when, in referring to the negotiations at Paris. he said;
 T am afraid some people, same per sons, do not understand that vision. They do not see it. They have looked too much upon the ground. They have thought too much of the interests that were near them and they have not listened to the voices of their neigh bors. have never had a moments doubt as to where the heart and pur- pose of this people lay"

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, July 10.--The approach of the extraordinary session of the legislature on July 28 is attended with no preliminary exritement. It will be unique in the history of special ses- slons 1t will assemble at noon Mon- day, and probably adjourn at noon Tuesday. There is nothing to do, un- der the Governors proclamation, but to ratify the Susan B. Anthony suf- frage amendment That could be done by both houses in one afternoon, if they pushed business. There mill be some preiiminaries, however, to be at tended to, and it is possible that some of the members have stored-up elo- quence which must be disposed of. The House will probably have to elect speaker, as c. P. Newton, Speaker of the regular session, is in Califor- nia and it is understood will not re- turn for the special session.
 Individual members, in several in- stances will endeavcr to secure con- sideration of curative road legisla- tion, which can be done on the vote of two-thirds of the members. if enough counties can be made interested in the proposition, they might agree to pass some special road acts, which would take several days, probably consume the whole week.
 But that sex restrictions may be re- moved from the ballot is the primary purpose of the session. How strange ly do things happenl Less than a de- cade ago, suffrage could hardly get hearing in the Arkansas legislature, and to advocate suffrage meant politi- cal suicide. Now, and for the last two years. suffrage is the first plank in the platform of the shrewd politicians.

MUST SMASH THE
 HIGH FOOD PRICES
Army's Surplus Stock Ordered Sold to Lower Cost of Living-The War De- pertinent Charged With Hoard
 ing and Discrimination

Washington, July S.-"Sell army surplus goods with the realization to the government as secondary con- sideration and sell them to smash the market, break prices and lower the cost of living" was the order given .C. w. Hare, director of sales of the War Department, today by the War Department Investigating committee of the house.
 This injunction is directly contrary to the War Departments policy which has been to realize as near cost as possible and at the same time manip- ulate sales so as not to disturb tine business equilibrium of the country, As between the contrary commands, Mir. Hare indicated that he would follow the congressional demand, tho it is also contrary to his own judgment, which is to realize for the government all that he can.
 Held Up Surplus Stocks.
 Mir. Hare, who is about to leave for France, testified before the quarter masters corps subcommittee this morning and before the foreign ex- penditures subcommittee this after noon. The principal feature of his testimony before the former were:
 1. That not till May did the War Department, altho it knew it could not have an army of more than 500,- 900 men, declare any surplus stocks of food ready for sale to American citi- zens.
 9 That the War Department, needing the pleas of the business in terests to "store it" held back from the market 100 million dollars worth of canned goods thru an agreement with representatives of canning in- terests when the American public needed the food and the government needed the money.
 3. That Herbert Hoover's mission bought in this country IS million pounds of meat of higher price and of higher quality than that fed to the American doughboy, instead of buying surplus War Department stocks.
 4 That the War Department is discriminating in favor of Washing ton citizens by paying the freight on surplus canned meat to be shipped to Washington to be sold to the poor
 Will Spoil If Not Sold Soon.
 That vast quantities of canned meat and vegetables, unless sold within the next few months will spoil hopelessly and that already canned goods are swelling and sweating in wooden warehouses and meat is spoil ing rapidly.
 6. That the government let meat spoil for which it had no use and which private firms were trying to buy.
 7 That MT. Hare tried five months to "pry the government loose" on the food policy
 &. That Mir Hare blocked exclusive clauses in a contract whereby the gov ernment was selling 20 million dollars worth of airplane material for S2,700,- 900.
 g. That horses costing $200 have been sold for SS0 and at 'ruinous prices in the South.
 10. That the only reason the War Department has given for failure to declare a surplus stock of foods long ago was the uncertainty about the size of the army

Chicago Fans Are Sore
Over Recent Player Trade

"Threatening to boycott the Nat
ional League for the rest of the sea-
son Chicago fans are making an
omen display of displeasure for the
recent trade that gave the Giants
Phil Douglas, q finished and ac-
complished pitcher, for Davy ROB-
ertson, an outfielder with a record
of achievement, but one who has
played no baseball to speak of for
two years. While Chicago fans are
not so angered by the trade itself
they are of the opinion that the move
of the Cub officials has clinched the
1919 pennant for John McGraw be-
yond further caVil.
zone Chicago newspaper prints
half page of protests from Cub
fans. Most of these wordy argu-
ments are based on the fact that the
Giants were showing signs of slip
ping and that the advent of Douglas
surely will sand up the track and
provide a carriage for the rest of the
journey. The Windy City bugs have
given up the ship and insist that
stop the Giants now.
ut would have been much better
to battle to the finish of the race
as they were than to strengthen the
Giants without taking any of the eff
ficiency of the club away is the argu-
ment of one fan. He writes that
McGraw gave nothing for consider
able and is to be congratulated for
pulling the wool over the eyes of the
cubs" - Buffalo Commercial.
