Last Friday evening the local base ball team easily defeated the Wander voort team to the tune of 12 to o. The game was never in doubt after the third inning, when the locals began batting the visiting pitcher to all cor ners of the field.
 The visitors used four pitchers without effect, while Red" McCook pitched steady ball for the locals. nroving very effective in pinches. The game was featured by the inability of the Mena-N -Nandervoort aggregation to connect with the pill.

Black Page in Our History.
THE blacklist page in all our his
tory was written when our name was
signed to the treaty delivering Shan
tung to Japan. We have not only
committed the crime in the first in
stance. but we have guaranteed the
crime for all time. We give by the
peace treaty Shantung to Japan and
by the league of nations, part of the
same document, guarantee Shantung
to Japan and guarantee with our
treasure and our blood
1T is absolutely clear that questions
like immigration, those arising from
the alien land law of California and
similar matters will be within the
Jurisdiction of the league. Remember
that there is in existence an offensive
and defensive alliance between Japan
and Great Britain and that when this
question of Shantung recently was up.
Britain very frankly said this treaty
alliance still existed. AS a Califor-

race problems we may have to the jur-
isdiction of the council of the league
of nations, or to the league itself.
Il am unw62ling that either body
should pass upon possibly the gravest

the suggestion that a race problem of
yours should be decided by nations

EY HERE is no general class
u Of men who understand
81 SO thoroughly, and appre-
ciate so we'll, the service
rendered by the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) as do the
farmers Of the Middle West.
Wherever he may live the farmer
is as familiar with the dark green
tank wagon as he is with the con-
veyance which brings the mail
carrier. He knows that his require
ments of petroleum products will
be provided.
He depends upon the service rem
dered by the Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana), confident that the
company will deliver to him what
ever products he needs, when he
needs them, and at a price which
is fair.
During the past two or, three
strenuous years the farmer of
America has carried the response
bility for feeding the world. Every
hour of every day he was busy,
and every minute was precious.
To multiply the effectiveness of his own and
his employees labor, he installed modern
equipment-tractors, trucks, cultivating and
harvesting machinery. w.
To run these machines gasoline, kerosene,
lubricating OILS and greases were absolutely
necessary. To get them the farmer would
have been forced to take hours of time going
to town were it not for the distributing
facilities of the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana). The Company brought the prod
ucts he needed to the farm. even to the
tractor in the fed.
1t is this kind of service which has brought
the farmer and the Company into such close
and such friendly relations. 1t is this kind
of service which emphasizes the usefulness
of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana) as
public servant.

 The commission was sent to Buda- pest at the request of the Inter-AI- lied Commission in Paris Hospitals, in Budapest were reported as crowd harest necessities, 1 report on the by one of the advance agents of the American Red Cross says:
 Hungary today seems the least able of any of the defeated nations to right itself and resume its place among the people of the world. Bu- daDest. the capital, finds itself face to face with famine, its citizens Iack1ns not only food, coal and clothing but it's sick dying for want of medicines and the means for surgeons to oper- ate.

Burns Refused to Shake Hand of Steel
 MagnaJe.

London, Oct. 17-tBy the Asso- c4ated Press) Burns many .-zends have been almost as much surprised as gratifed that Andrew Carnegie should have left him S5,- to shake hands with MT. Carnegie. Moreover, Burns was very proud or having done so and fond of telling about it. It happened in the pre- c;ncts of the House of Commons in the days before Honest John hal accepted the responsibilities of a ministerial office and was still an un- tanned Socialist.
 MT, Carnegie was being shown through the House of Commons by some distinguished English friends In the lobby John Burns was encoun- tered and CarRegie's attention was directed to him. As Burns used to tell the story Of their meeting, Car negie stepped up to him smiling and with outstretched hand and sad, Andrew Carnegie offers his hand to John Burns" To which Burns re- piled. John Burns refuses to take the hand of Andrew Carnegie" and turned his back on the n1ulti-mtllion- aire.
 Burns had said many violent things against capitalists. There is nc doubt that Carnegie had a sincere ad- 12liratfon for Burns as a, self-eduCaC ed and seIf-made man. And pos sibIy in later years Burns changed his opinions concerning Andrew Car negie.

YSER DISTRICT
 IS RECOVERING FROM WAR HAVOC
Humorous and Pitiful Oc- curences Mark Work of
 Reconstruction.

Dixmude, Belgium, oct. 17-CBy The Associated Press)-Lining the banks of the Yser river, far as the eye can see, are the trenches which for so many months during the war were occupied by the Belgian and German armies, the Belgians on the south bank and the Germans on the north. They still bear many marks of shell and rife fire, and mouldy straw lying on the damp floors still convey some idea of the hardships to which the soldiers were subject ed.
 On the German side of the river is a dugout, built to resist the heaviest projectiles, and cool even on a hot day. It was a favorite gathering spot for the Germans when the fighting was fercest, but now serves the more useful purpose of a refriger- ator. Instead of the hunks and chairs which once lined its sides one

now sees pile upon pile of beer cases, filled with refreshments for the soldier guard at work cleaning up the ground.
 Behind the dugout. the bodies of three soIdiers-two Belgians and one German-were buried on the bank of a tiny pond, made by bursting shells. Little crosses marking the resting places and over them poppies nod.
 Along the Yser one may plainly see the effects of the hard fought struggle. Here and there the top of a dugout has been crushed in, and further along the duckboards from an abandoned trench may be seen stick ing through the mud. Within sight of the bridge, the muzzle of a field piece, rusted and useless, points to the sky.
 Much of the debris of the battle field has already been collected. Miles upon miles of barbed wire have been reclaimed from the entanglements, German and allied, which stretched in front of the lines but at some points along the river bank the old entangIements still remain, rusted and twisted on stakes which are fast falling into the ground. There are great piles of reeled wire which has not been unwound since it left the wire mills, while the military tele- phone systems are still stretched up- on short stakes.
 The people of Dixmu> ?, like the people of every other dest ayed Bel i gian town, are gradually ' turning to the ruins of their homes The Here one may see a man patchilSr up help being given them by the gov

ARGENTINA
 ID PROTECT
 RARE: ANIMAL

New York, Oct. 16-The Argentine government has decreed the prOhi- bition of hunting for the cOypu, a beaver-Iike rodent which yields the fur known as nutria, as the species is about disappearing because of the large amount of commerce in these skins during the last three years, the rgentine-Ame erican Chamber of Commerce here announced today. Nutria fur has been extensively used in garments worn by the women of America.
 The hunting of nutria,' the cham ber says, has been done without any regard whatever to the preservation of thsee animals during the last great drought in the nutria zone 1t was so easy to locate the animals that they could be killed with sticks and they were almost eXterminated. For this reason the government intervened in the matter taking vigorous measures to prohibit the runt4ng of these ami Inals.'
