COMPLETE PLANS FOR

COMMISSION ADOPTS DRAFT OF
TWENTY-slx ARTICLES AS
A WHOLE.
FRANCE LOSES Big POINT
Proposal for World Army to Protect
France Supported Only by French
and Jugo Slavs..

Paris.-The Bourgeois proposition
for an inter-allied military force to
enforce peace has been defeated at
meeting of the society of nations
commission. The French and Czecho-
Sloyaks were the only representa-
tiyes voting in the affirmative.
THE draft of the society Of nations
plan was then UNANIMOUSLY adopted
as whole. The final draft consists
of twenty-six articles.
President Wilson will personally
read the draft to preliminary meet
ing of the peace conference later
The conference will not be asked to
finally adopt it at this time.
The Japanese delegates presented
an amendment providing that racial
discrimination should not be tolerat-
ed in immigration laws.
Several delegates urged that this
would open such large question
that great delay might ensue. ard the
matter was dropped without vote.
The proposed arbitration of the

Italian premier, Vittorio Orlando.
asked President Wilson to be arbi-
traitor, without first consulting the
king and the cabinet, and II neces-
sary the parliament The president
added that he would prefer not to
be loaded with the responsibility to
arbitrate, but was willing to act as
a friendly intermediary.
A deputation has arrived in Paris
from Fiume to present before the
peace conference documents in behalf
of the claim of Fiume to be united
with Italy.
The United States, under the So
ciety of nations plan as It now has
been amended will maintain an army
of not less than 100000 men, which,
after the authorization Of such ac-
tion by the United States senate
could be used wherever necessary.
This provision was agreed upon
by the society of nations commission,
as solution Of the difficulties in
the way Saf the plan arising from the
American constitution.

No soclal Rarrlers In rurkey.

To those unfamiliar with Turkish
customs it may seem strange that
TaIaak Pasha, who has just resigned
the highest dignity in the Ottoman en-
pire, should have been earning his liv-
Ing only few years ago as an obscure
telegraph clerk. Yet such big jumps
are perhaps easier in Turkey than in
any other country. For although the
Ottoman Turks often show the utmost
contempt for the numerous subject
races that help to make up the Turk
ish empire, they recognize no social
barriers among themselves. In the
eyes Of the sultan all are equal. Thus
It may easily happen that, given the
necessary ability, even an emanclpated
Ottoman slave may become grand vi
zier, and perhaps marry into the sui.

THUMBS IN PIGS

Pigs with thumps display a very ir-
regular and jerky breathing and fall
away very rapidly. This is caused
most often by over feeding, lack Of ex-
ercise, sunshine, ventilation. The
treatment in this case is simple
enough. Reduce the feed, force exer-
else and place pigs in open air pen as
much as the weather will permit. One
often sees the same symptoms il lit
ters that have had an open air exist
nece, which closely resembles an in
fectious disease, as one or more pigs
will drop of every day or SO. In q
ease Of this kind Immediately remove
the sick pigs and unless very valuable
better to destroy and burn. Disinfect
the quarters throughly. BY al means
when possible remove SOW and litter
to clean we'll lighted and well ventilat-
ed pens. Dan McMahan, n. p. Ant.

TREAT DURUM FOR SMUT

The opinion Of many farmers in
this county seems to be that durum
wheat will not smut. Although it
does not smut as badly as some var
ieties it does smut enough to cause
considerable losses. And with the
present price of wheat you cannot
afford to run the risk Of having smut
in your crop.
Every bushal Of wheat, oats, barley
and rye needed this year should De
treated in order to insure good clean
crop which will top the market next
fall.
