The theory that the United States OF
America can wash its hands OF all re
sponsibility for conditions in Europe
withdraw within its own borders, and
remain indifferent to the future prog
ress Of events in the territories affecte
by the war. upon which so much OF
the criticism of the proposed league OF
nations has been based is strangely al
variance with the undertakings. into
which our government has entered. As
early as January. 1918, President Will
son formulated the terms of conditions
upon which he recommended the
peace OF the world should be establish
ed when the conflict then raging was
over, and those terms and conditions
later on were accepted by the allied
powers and the Germans alike, and
became the basis upon which peace
was to he established. No other pro-
gram was formulated by either politi.
cal party, or by even a respectable
minority in America, and by acquies-
cence. II not by consent, the work OF
framing the treaty of peace was un-
6ertaken on the basis Of this program
The program was somewhat modified
by the progress Of events, through the
and the recognition on the part of the
United States Of the belligerency of the
CZecho- Slovak nation. The origina
terms also were supplemented by SUBJ
sequent declarations on the part OF
the president. which also were accept
ed by allied and enemy powers. among
which were the following:
"3. Every territorial settlement In
volvcd in this war must be made in the
interests and for the benefit Of the
populations concerned and not as a
part OF any mere adjustment or COM
promise of claims amongst rival states

tnined by weighing and testing her
milk.
The most practical method Is found
in the Cooperative Cow Testing asso-
ciation, since 1t furnishes cheap ac-
curate method - testing.
1t is not fair to the public to base
the price of milk upon the incompetent
dniryman who is always complaining
that he can make no money in the
dairy business.
Good dairy cows may be fed the
very highest rations and make great
deal more money by so doing than to
feed or ordinary COW in the ordinary
haphazard way.
Very few farmers can raise all Of
the feed their cows need. A CONNER
cial mixed feed is better than a home
mixed feed. as the proportions are
more uniform and the protein and food
percentages are generally much high
err than in home grown feed. That Is
the reason why the more successful
dairy people prefer commercial mix
ed feed rather than to try to do the
mixing themselves.

The subsequent recognition Of a

first official resolution adopted by the
peace conference was that of January
81, 1919. which declared that
"a league of nations be created to
promote international cooperation
as essential to the maintenance Of in

safeguards against war. and that
such league should
"be treated as an integral part OF

There are other changes likely 70

we shall arrive at 4 balance between
the wages OF capital and the wages OF
