That sort of cleanliness is Ques-

it is a fact that little boys and
girls who sit down to eat without
first carefully washing their hands
are much more likely to have
worms than are clean little folks,
Even if they haven't time TO sit
down and eat. but just grab some
thing and run out and play while
eating, the same sordid truth ap-
plies. The earth in most inhabited
communities is more or less pol

Work done by members of the Rock Island
Rotary club and others on the Milan road con
stitutes a good start. At least as much more
remains to be done to make the going passable
in the village OF Milan, and then there will be
the problem OF maintenance to be dealt with
later
Milan is not in financial condition to perma-
nentiy improve It's main streets. Much of the
traffic through it is of a kind that is of no
local benefit and it is not fair to expect the
village to provide for handling it without some
outside assistance. Volunteer work seems to
offer the only present solution. A great deal
of gravel will be required to put Water street
up to Main and Main south to the village limits
in shape. Once that is done perhaps the viii
lage will be able to maintain it.
If the Cheney lane road were given little
attention much travel from west would be di-
verted to that route and the wear on the prin-
eipal streets of Milan would be considerably
reduced. Formerly practically all of the traf-
fc to ard from the lower end Of the county
came via the lane, but it has been neglected
and mudhoIes in the lower stretch are the rule
rather than the exception. taking the year
through. Here is a work that a common grader
can do, with perhaps few loads of gravel or
sand dumped in the low spots Certainly peo-
pie living in the lower end of the county and
residents of the city whose business takes
them out that way would appreciate any i'm
proyement that might be made this road,
for it is a few blocks shorter than the route
now most generally Travelled.

Getting Ready for Trade.

While the business interests of the United
States are necessarily in doubt as to the scope
and detail Of their future foreign policy be-
cause of the delay of the senate in ratifying
the peace treaty, the government is laying
plans so that American commerce can plunge
into active world competition when the war
is officially at an end With ships to trans
port American goods, statistical facts to guide
the salesman in foreign fields and the indus
trial ability TO supply the greater part of the
world, the United States is in the best pos
sibIe position, could prompt ratification OF the
peace treaty be obtained.
The work Of creating, or rather of building
a foreign trade for the United States will fall
on the departments of state and commerce in
conjunction with the work of the shipping
board The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the department of commerce will
act through its special agents and investigators
throughout the world in aequainting the pro-
ducers of this country with opportunities
abroad, while at the same time they will carry
the work of advertising American goods to
the foreign markets. In the state department
the foreign trade adviser and the consular ser
vice will form the liaison between the foreign
consumer and the American producer.
The consuis Of the consular service are.
of course, the active agents OF the commerce
department in many countries in matters in
volving foreign trade opportunities. To these
two services will fall the lot OF reopening such
countries Russia. Turkey, the Balkans, Ger
many and Austria and of digging in" in the
hitherto little cultivated mouarchies and
publics of Africa and Asia Besides there will
be thousands of opportunities in South Amer
lea, many of whose markets formerly patron
lied German producers. and most OF whom are

OPPOSITION TO LEAGUE
FOUNDED UPON MISTAKE

CW. E, Russell. formerly editor of the Inter
national Economist in Akron TimesD
If the following paragraph taken verbatim
from the Akron Beacon-JOurnal's account on
Sept. s, 1919, is a correct extract from Senator
Reeds address on Sept. 7, l hereby expect &c
prove by such evidence that Senator Reed made
a wilful misrepresentation a Iudicrous mis-
take.
THE assembly selects four members of tbs
council CT nine. Let me select those four mem
bers and L can control the council. II stands
to reason that with the various discordant in
terests eliminating the Big Five the minority of
four by secret alliances can secure a majority
vote in the council and so dictate its policies
and so rule the world"
Having before him for over three months
the published text of the amended league cove
nant, Senator Reed should not claim exemp-
ton through ignorance of its contents, and

that covenant says in Enthusiastically clear Eng
lish as follows:

that the allies make first proposals, and nat
rious consideration BuIIitt then demanded an
interview with President Wilson and when 1t
was refused he became sulky and said he was
going TO the Rivera, there to "le in the sand

take about thirty days for that to happen, in
his Judgment, because that was the time limit
Lenine had set for acceptance of his scheme.
After the world had refused to go to the
place he consigned it he came back to Paris,
conversed privately with members of the peace
delegation, collected what confidential dOcu-
ments he was able to get his hands on and
then deliberately set himself to the task of
president. Before leaving for America he is
said to have held an evening salon at which
he lay in his room in pink pajamas and made
a speech upon the perfection of the communis-
tic state and the alleged faults of the president
1t is evident that Bullitt is a crank"
parIor anarchist at heart The ease with which
he reached an understanding with Lenine-it
took him only two weeks to size up the entire
situation in Russia-makes it fair to presume
that his scruples are of the same sort as those
Of the soviet dictator He probably considers
anything fair which attains his ends.
Knowing the manner Of man he is and the
point of view he takes most people will look
upon his efforts to discredit the peace con-
ference and especially the part America played
in it. as a boost, rather than a knock.

Who is this man Bulltt, who secured a
place with the American peace delegation I'M
der false representations and then because his
own bit of work for it failed to measure up to
standard undertook to discredtt everything that
was done? What were his motives and to
what extent can his word be relied upon?
These are questions great many unpreju-
diced observers have been asking ever since
Rullitts testimony was given before the senate
committee foreign affairs. The best answer
is dispatch from Edwin L. James, special
correspondent at Paris, and printed in the Chi
cago Tribune. The Tribune certainly has no
special interest in discrediting BuIlitts testi-
mony. but the story it carries does just that.
Bullift's plan, according to the Tribune
correspondent, was for the allies to recognize

Brad's O. Verse
AUTUMN.


Autumn is a golden season that
is neither hot nor freezin'; sort Of
mixture stirred together of the fin
cot brands of weather. Any guy
who doesn't like FER is q sacrileg-
ious piker. Autumn rains are cool
and drilling, welcome after sum-
mer sizzling; sweet to hear them
bat the shingle when you sit beside
the ingle. Any rube who wouldn't
chortle is a glum and surly mortal.
Autumn rhymesters grow offensive
when their lines are sad and pen
sive; when they write OF signing
breezes, falling leaves and lonely
treeses. Any bard that's melan-
choly is a poor dyspeptic molly
Autumn air is keen and nippy with
tang that makes you zippy;
there's a scene of scarlet splendor
reckoning the hardy wender. Any
chap who doesn't gurgle with de-
light would rob and burgle. Au
tumn is d glowing daisy; not too
clear and not too hazy; just a
happy combination OF the best
that's in creation. Any gent who's
not ecstatic is grumpy old ia
matte.
