office was more than ordinarily dis
turbed Saturday when Mrs. S. l. Ken

her mind because her husband was
hailed into court for speeding on the
Wild Horse road. The Kennirds were
arrested by Motorcycle Officer Long

FLOUR SUBSTITUTES
FIND FEW BUYERS

Since the removal of all food regu-
lations from the sale OF groceries in
the local stores there is little or no
call for the flour substitutes which
were In demand during the war. Con-
sequently grocers are left with a con.
siderable supply of barley, rice and
potato flour.
White and yellow corn meal, how
ever, stun continues in popularity
Grocers are of the opinion that al
though during the war housewives
mastered the art of making the sub
stiutes palaabie, their use entails more
work than the white flour Another
reason given for the lack of demand
for the flogurs is because they ara
more expensive than the white flour.

Adequate Armed Reserve
Forces and Separation from.
EntangIing Alliances Urged
GIVES VIEW
AFTER TRIP ACROSS
Declares Germans Do Not
Submit to VictorS, but
to Contract"

| WASHINGTON, May 26.-House
Republicans plans for keeping the
United States from war We're outlined
on the floor today by Representative
Madden, who recently visited Europe.
AS a national policy Madden made the
following points: separation from en-
tangling alliances abroad such as are
liable to result from the league of ma
tions, universal military training for
youths, a reasonably small army.
maintenance of reserve among off
GERS who have returned to civil life,
and maintenance of a navy commen-
surate with American commerce.
Speaking of the league of nations
Madden said: 'It is very likely to lead
us into trouble through defense of po-
litical intregity or geographical boun-
daries of foreign nations. 1 am more
convinced than ever after my trip to
Europe that America should stand
aloof from entangling alliances. We
cannot mingle with people there on
equal terms. They do not think as we
do. They are suspicious, their politi-
cal hatreds are unchanged BILE, and
nations now being created are already
at war with each other. Nobody could
the geographical boundar-
les of the Balkans-recognized as
cradle of wars"
No Signs of Defeat.
Speaking of his experiences in Eu-
rope Madden claimed an unfriendly
spirit exists between the French peo-
,le and American soldiers. They
harged the army is rebuilding roads
nd paying the French people twice as
much for material as in the Uniteo
states.
He said Germany shows no sigAs of !
efeat.
1.-The Germans do not believe we are |
n control of their country as victers |
nut that they are under contract and /
hat the armistice was signed as
result of the presidents II points
He said conclusion of the war was
ne primarily to the American often
i've in Argonne, after which General
had eight or ten thousand
.mericans driving the Germans on
he plains east of defenses which they
onsidered impregnable.

Clouds are much higher in warm
weather than in cold weather, and in
the winter what may seem to indicate
a change must be interpreted as per-
haps being snow instead of rain.
Boys who have been brought up in
the open country are likely to be bet
ter weather prophets than city lads,
but with little practice anyone can get
a line on the weather, though he may
miss getting it right once or twice
People along the coast or on the shores
Of the Great Lakes are skilled weather
prophets. Long experience with the
ways Of the winds has taught then
what to expect.
