BACK WORLD LEAGUE.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-From two
authorized sources it has developed
that the farmers of America are
standing behind the league Of ma
lions, want America to enter a peace
League, and have not been influenced
BY the opposition in the senate.
Thomas c.. Atkeson, Washington
Representative of the National Grange,
state that the. fundamental idea of
the league of nations-the, prevenr
|tion of war-has won the united sup
port of the farmers Of the country.
Until the opponents Of the league
can offer a workable scheme that has
this same purpose" said he, they
)cannot hope to, swerve. the farmer
from his stand"

tnte. either. We have learned many
appetizing ways of serving some
foods we seldom used because We
thought we didn't need to economic
and therefore wasted that which We
were TO learn was of great value.
Substitutes in most cases are o. X.
but the continual use Of substitutes
without the food value in calories to
the human system is waste in health.
Sc 'ntlsts are now trying to prove to
us that it was the use Of too many
substitutes ia our -four and bread
that robbed the system of some vital
elements that could have counterfeit
ed the ravages of the dread influenza.
Those who learned to economic in
the food proposition can sympathiZe
with the less frugal woman who
asked thrifty house wife, ooh, what
will we do now that Lent is here?'
when she received this reply, Lent,

Clothing should be bought and
used in an economizing manner, TAX
ing these basic reasons. Buying un-
necessarily or buying too much and
|cutting to a disadvantage. And.
again, don't be afraid to remodel, as
the styles can be very prettily fol-
lowed by combining two materials to
advantage.
Our natural resources, such as
iron, coal. wood. oil, gas, etc, can be
economical If not substituted as was
proven beyond a doubt by our gas
less Sundays last fall when by each

Ions at mast sent so many million
gallons on it's way to hasten the close
of the war.
Thus proving that economy in food
clothing and resources has helped to
make simpler our living scale and
therefore must be retained to a
marked extent and counted as feature
No. 3.
Self-sacrifice and brotherly-kind-
ness were the humanitarian features
that have helped to elevate our lives;
for without self-sacrfice how could
our loved ones been taken from our
sides and the ladies of the land given
up their other duties to make surgical
supplies and hospital garments for
the Red Cross. And without broth
erly-kindness, the great movements
of the Red Cross, Salvation Army,
hospital units, and kindred organiza-
tons been brought to the boys SO in
need of them?
1. So self-sacrifice and brotherly-
kindness as features of No. 4 have
helped to take Dur selfish natures
into broader channels of right living.
AS each of us must have learned
something vital, let it be in any phase
of life, whether in conservation, gen.
crosby. economy. self-sacrifice or
Observation-Disclosures, SO retain and
nurture it, and then by our united
forces make life one glad, sweet song.

TAKES ACTION
IN PROTESTING
PHONE CHARGES
City Commission Adopts ResOiu-
tons Taking Stand Against In
crease in Rates.

In answer to complaint by many
citizens Of Rock Island against the
recent increase in telephone rates,
the city commission yesterday
adopted a resolution offered by
Mayor H. NJ Schriver, as protest
against such rates.
The resolution claims that the
increase was made without con-
sideration of cities concerned;
and that now when the CRITICAL
period, to which the governments
action has been attributed, is prac-
tically over, it demands that the
question of an increase in Rock Is
land be inquired into by the pub
lie utilities commission of the
state.
The resolution follows:
BE il resolved that this council
does most emphatically protest
against the increase in telephone
rates that have been put into effect
in this city. commencing on the

ing on any substantial increase in
rates.
I'VE further contend and charge
that the telephone service in this
city is very poor; that the rates in
force prior to June II, 1919, were
too high in proportion to the SER
vice given the public.
I'VE demand that the question of
an increase of telephone rates in
this city be inquired into by the
public utilities commission of the
state of Illinois. where the people
would have at least the right to be
heard and defend themselves
against the unjustifiable, arbitrary,
unreasonable and burdensome
rates.
BE it further resolved that
Postmaster General Burleson is
hereby requested to place this mat
ter before the utilities commission
of the state of Illinois, and that a
copy of these resolutions be sent
to the postmaster general and to
