AND THE PUBLIC PAYS FOR TIN
DELAY. ss

ssF BY making political issue OF tne
\ Peace Treaty and League Of Nations
Covenant, the Republican leaders in
the Senate succeeded in having both
faiEsof ratification and now the pub
4 lie fwill have the pleasure of paying
the fiddler. No doubt Senator's
Lodge, Borah. ct al have thoroughly
enjoyed their little political Jazz, but
1 It's been an uncommon expensive
!. fiesta for poor old John w. Public
who has been looking forward
mighty longingly to the final settle
ment OF the world war so that things
might again resume their natural
course. No one expects conditions
to become normal until peace is
made and settlements agreed upon
and the proposal of the Republicans
to pass resolution through Con-
gress declaring the war at an end will
have about as much effect on the
present chaotic state of things as the
daylight saving law had on staying
the progress Of the sun and the moon.
Politics is mighty fine game and we
al enjoy putting the other fellow in.
to a political hole, but when lot of
innocent bystanders are pushed into
Z deeper hole at the same time the
pastime ceases to be amusing, at
least to the innocent victims who i'll
this instance happen to be all of us.
OF course the profitecrs and. the pro-
Germans, and the agitators and an
archists are not especially longing
for peace. Things are going along
pretty we'll for them and so long as
conditions remain in the present UNI
settled state profiteering and an
-archy and -agitatiag VIII probably
thrive and do,right well, but most Of
us who are trying to make both ends
meet and still wear few clothes and
eat occasionally are pretty weary of
still being. mixed up. in world war
that really ended year ago this
month.
1t was a grand little scheme those
Republican senator's had of humiliat-
ing the President by sending him
back to Europe with an emasculated
peace treaty and league covenant ami
with apologies, for having spoken fer
America at the peace conference, but
1t failed to work out Just as planned
and. now the Republican papers are
busy trying to convince US that the
League committed hari-kari and
never was killed at all Then, too,
the idea Of humiliating the head 81
our government III the eyes of the
world for political purposes never has
seemed to get the approval of the
American people that the G. O. \.
senators supposed it would. Too
many of US had heard the old saw
which describes the bird that befouls
II own nest.
There will be another session Of
congress next month and it is pre-
dscted the treaty will be ratified |
then. s5i'ssS .,s4ss ~
In the meantime the American peo-
pie will go on paying old H. c. l.. !
for the Republican senator's little |
spree.

Great French Sacrifice
Calls for Worlds
Gratitude,

The French have suffered and bled
more than any other nation at war.
Of her 36 million population, 6 mil
lion were placed in the trenches and
have poured out their blood on the
altar of Liberty. America will ever
remember this heroic sacrifice, 1t is
likewise not unmindful of the great
service to the world rendered by the
French peasants who have. given it a

and intestinal disorders, which is re-
ported to have relieved ~incalcuable
suffering, saved thousands of lives
and prevented innumerable surgical

Chicago chemist, imports and sells
it in this country under the name
of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. 1t is

School Students Play
Hockey Enjoy Picnic

The majority of the students of the
Greenwood High School were conspi.
cuous by their absence this morning
at their accustomed places. This be-
ing April FOOLS Day, the students
planned to surprise their teachers by
failing to appear at school this morn
ing. Instead Of the daily routine OF
lessons they enjoyed a most delight
full picnic at Valley Hill.
Lunch baskets were packed early
this morning and numbers of moto,
cars obtained to carry the crowd to
the picnic grounds. The young PEG.
pie were chaperoned by Nh. and Mrs

FOLLOW THE TRACKS,"

FOLLOW THE TRACKS,"
Tracks always have the atmosphere
of mystery about them. Doesn't make
any difference whether they be rail.
road tracks, which lead into the LAND
or far away, or little or big foot
prints. :.
L Tracks key up your imagination
particularly odd looking tracks. Per.
haps you can't figure out the sort Io1
animal that has passed on its jour
ney. That adds to the zest of the
question.
Just because today is April list
with its FRANKS and mysteries, it is
a right good time to try to puzzle out
the odd looking tracks which appear
in this issue.
Many animals have big, husky feet
and it's worth while brushing up on
this track business to discover what
kind of a mammal makes this sort of
foot print.
After all, a little fun adds to the
joy of living. And you'll undoubtedly
get some fun out Of this real April
first mystery.
Follow the Tracks is the cry all
over the nation today. Study this
mystery picture and those that
follow tomorrow, Thursday and Fri
day. It'll be a lot Of enjoyment. Just

Stories Written
. By School Children

Following is the seventh of a series
of stories written in a short story
contest by the pupils Of the Green
wood Schools:
The Mysterious Visitor"
Donald Dulweber, Aged IL years.
I'D q large room there was a troop
of Boy Scouts with q Scout Master
talking to them saying, ION this hike
l cannot go along and will leave Wal
ter Upton in charge and all happen
ings bad. good big or small will have
to go down on record and be handed
in to me after the hike.
'The next evening the Scouts were
in a scout tent and getting supper.
"By $3.50 o'clock they were in bed
asleep. About midnight Walter
heard a tapping On the ground as
though it were. made by a. small ami
imal. He reached down to get "a
small piece of dirt to throw, thinking
it was a squirrel. Instead of his
hand touching the ground, it came in
contact with something like needles.
He gave yell of pain and the whole
troop of scouts came rolling out of
bed, rubbing their eyes. After they
were all awake they lit a lamp and
said, Its no joke to wake a fellow up
in the middle. of the night 'Golly',
said Walter, It's no joke, look at my
hand and see They looked and one
of the boys said, Its a porkypine,
look at the needles in your hand
They took the needles out and raped
Walters hand up and he said It felt
a little better.
"Then they chased the angry and
frightened little animal out. It goes
on record said one Of the boys. Wal
ter begged them not to do it but ii
was no use. The boys laughed and
kidded him, but it went down On rec
ord.
