Of a magazine article on Mr.. Ford

"Mr. Reed paints you as q very
democratic person VINO loves to sit
on a neighbors back porch and talk.
The neighbors don't sit on your back
porch do they? Guards keep them
away, don't they?"
An objection was sustained.
Mr.. Ford said that Reed gathered
practically all of his statements in his
story elsewhere than from the wit

borrowed some of 1t from an article
by Henry A. Wisewood, about disbe-

methods with which they have been
helping the Russian people in their
reconstruction"
I'm the three and one half hours

years. With what wonderful and mex
Fhaustible energy they carry on theiI
work! If you could have heard the
soundness Of their remarks; If you
could have felt how steaily the work
was being done you would under
stand the enormous work these peo

would allow them live in small houses
at the end Of the town"

LEAGUE IS HELD
BEST ANSWER TO
PEACE PROBLEMS
Colt Urges World Society be

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. July 17.-Announc-
ing his support OF the principles en-
bodied in the league of nations coven-
ant, but Withholding judgment regard
Ing certain reservations, Senator Colt.
Republican, of Rhode Island, told the
senate today that the nation must
at least see the great undertaking
upon which we have embarked In en-
ering the war to the end. which can
only be done by our becoming mem
ber of the league"
The Rhode Island senator declared
himself unable to agree with the OBJ
jections that the league would create
super state or subvert the American
constitution. He said. however, that
the Monroe doctrine must be clearly
safeguarded and domestic questions
left for national action.
THE league Of nations in it's essence
Is simply an association of free ma.
tions," he said. "The principle Of in
ternat1onal cooperation as the means
made secure has never been tried be-
fore. All other means of preventing
war have failed. Not to try this ex.
pertinent would leave the world in
the same condition of international
anarchy as it was before the war.
There is no antagonism between true
nationalism and an internationalism
which would substitute the reign OF
law for the reign Of force.

| IF we believe that 1t would be dis
honorable to withdraw from Europe al
this time to desert France. England
and Italy in this critical hour when
the whole world IL in a turmoil, then

remain IN the league during this world
settlement and until peace and order
are restored. To my mind we must
at least see the great undertaking
upon which we embarked in entering
the war through to the end and, as
part Of this undertaking we must
help to re-establish a new world or

Of peace, which can only be done by

mean that I have reached a decision

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
of Pork Production-ScvenfoId
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will he able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action Of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats. and pork will help to snve this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able US to supply very large part of
the Eat deficiency of the world. In
beef there mast be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro.
gram as applying particularly to ani-
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture Indicate an
Increase in cattle OF 1O,23S,OOO head
and 12,441 900 hogs These figures
were compiled to january last.
In this period there was q decrease
In sheep of $4,000 leId. The intllca-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than S per cent. and not
more than IL per cent. as compared
with one year ago. with Ill increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. S.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing In the
full of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,60O,-
100000 pounds more 1f pork products
than were available Inst year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding Az
final food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three monshs ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903.172OOO pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
277.5s9.O0o, an increase of over 374.
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1861, O0OOOp
pounds as against 1,4s4,OO0,000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September 1, this year.
