With farm hands being paid 81 900 per year
with board and keep and school teachers drawing
as low as SIS per month, there is bound to be a
readjustment. If school, teachers can pull down
no more than that in teaching the coming genera
tion to become good American citizens they will
soon be persuaded that there is little glory in it
and let the children go run and seek some more
lucrative occupation.-New Ulm Journal.

~ EDWOOD County, like every other county
* in the Northern Division, is interested
: just now in determining its own place in
the Red Cross peace program, in adapting the
program to its own needs and in working with
headquarters, for more thorough and practical
education along the line of the purposes and pro-
jects Of this program
In the issue of the Northern Division Bulletin
for Sept. % was published an article very help
full to Red Cross workers and officers; article
written by David H. Holbrook, Director of Civil
ian Relief Mr.. Holbrook concludes bis article
as follows
Before considering how Home Service exten-
sion to peace basis may be brought abou. we
should each know just what we really need. The
discussion of ways and means is important, but
not until there is some appreciation Of what So
cial needs are not already being met by existing
agencies. The way to finish the war job con-
structively therefore, is to look about and ask
few pertinent questions.
"Are we, as community, never in need Of
expert, intelligent and up-to-date information on
questions of social legislation and procedure?
"For instance, where could we find out in our
community whether a civilian disabled man
might get vocational training Who would help
us make the necessary arrangements for him?
HAS anyone ever inquired into the causes Of
absence from our schools What did they find
out?
ssWho has attempted to trace the boys and
girls who left, our schools last year?
Are we keeping young people at home?
If not, where are they going and under what
guidance?
@Are we using all our public agencies, both
state and local, to the fullest advantage?
ssWhat are we doing to make Amercanism at
tractive to the foreigners in our midst?
''Are we giving enough attention to the play
of people, young and old, by providing proper
recreation?
'Do we really appreciate our teachers as
shown by the salaries we pay them and the train
ing we require in employing them?
"Are our workers always employed?
"Have we unsanitary houses
"Have we no needy families?
"Are our school children ever examined for
physical defects?
''Is there any overlapping of effort and lack
Of understanding among the various organiza-
tions in our community 2"
Every community in the County viii find,
when it begins to investigate itself, that it has
not only one but several Of these problems con-
fronting it. and when these are settled there will
be found any number of new ones which have
been unearthed during the work. When any one
makes the statement that the swork Of the Red
Cross is finished" or that We are justified in
ssresting" now that the war is over, he should
be branded as teller Of untruths! The work Is
just started! Now we begin the well-nigh end
less task Of putting things right, right here at
home not IN charity but in justice. The work
is not vague and underlined 1t IS ready at our
hand, awaiting Us as we step from our doors in

The report indicates that the R-34
has covered approximately 1000
miles of her journey toi Scotland.
Since the last report the speed OF
thedirigible has slackened to about

EVIDENCE TOSHOW
FRAMEUP BARRED
IN TOWNLEY CASE
Attorneys Clash Over Ruling in
Trial of Nonpartisan
League Heads.

Jackson, Mimi, July 11.-Suc-
cessful objections by the state at
torneys to the introduction of evil
dcnce which the defense charged
would prove political frameup"
against A. c. Townley and Joseph
Gilbert, charged with conspiracy to
teach disloyalty, and the appear
ance, of long line of witnesses
who asserted that Townley's
speech at Cambridge, Mimi, Febru-
ary 18, 1918, was not unpatriotic,
marked the afternoon session of
Clarence F. Johnson, of Marine,
Mimi, who stated he formerly was
in the employ of Charles Patterson,
of St. Paul, alleged by the league
to be the head of an organization
working against it, was not allowed
to testify other than to say that
Mr.. Patterson was representing an
organization, the name of which
Johnson did not know.
When Attorney Hoke asked the
witness who comprised the organi-
zation, Assistant Attorney General
J. L. Markham said:
%There is no possible relevancy
to this. The defense repeatedly
has referred to some organization
opposed to the activities of the
nonpartisan league. If there were
a dozen of them it would make no
difference so far as the indictments
against Townley and Gilbert are
concerned"
The states objection was upheld.
The ruling out of the Johnson
testimony brought some warm
clashes between the attorneys. T.
V. Sullivan, representing the
League, told Prosecutor Nicholas
the defense could show that there
is a frameup and you are in it."

Effective August |.
APPROVES ARMY AND
NAVY APPROPRIATIONS
Careful Consideration Being
! Given to Many Petitions
for and Against Repeal Of
Daylight Saving Law.

Washington, July 1l.-President
Wilson had another busy day Fri
day. He spent many hours in his
Office working on business which
accumulated while he was returning
from Paris, conferred with two cab
met officers and late in the day
signed the army, navy, deficiency
and District of Columbia appropria-
tion bills and the resolution repeal
ing the act under which the tele-
phone, telegraph and cable COM
panies were taken over during the
war.
The president had before him the
agricultural bill with its rider for
repeal of the daylight saving law
and the huge sundSy civil measure
with appropriations for the shipping
board and the campaign against
bomb throwers and other radicals.
Many petitions both for and against
eheal of the daylight law were be-
fore the president and he was re-
ported as giving this matter much
thought.
Appropriations Retroactive.
All of the appropriation measures
signed by the president became law
Immediately with the appropriations
retroactive to July /, but the wire
resolution does not become effective
until the end of the month, when
the properties will be returned to
their owners. Under the resolution
interstate telephone rates established
under government control will re-
main effective for four months unless
sooner modified by state rate max
ing bodies.
President Wilson began the day
with an early morning round of golf
with Mrs. Wilson at country club
course near the capital. Returning
10 the white house, he spent more
than an hour at his desk and then
made an unexpected visit to the
state, war and navy building to con-
fer with Acting Secretary Polk at
the State department and Secretary
Daniels. The president remained in
Mr.. Polk's office for more than an
hour.
Polk to Leave July Fl.
He haad with him a package of
official papers and while no an
nouncement was made, it was said
that the Mexican sitdation / and
peace conference affairs we're
among those the president had de-
sired to discuss. Mr.. Polk will
leave for Paris July 2l, to replace
Secretary. Lansing as the head of
the American peace delegation. Mr..
Lansing will arrixe in New York
July 19, and will confer with Mr..
Polk before the undersecretary
starts overseas.
Leaving Mr.. Polk's Office, the
president called on Secretary DAN
iels and remained half an hour. Al
ter returning to the White House,
Mr.. Wilson was busy until late in
the afternoon, when he and Mrs.
Wilson went for an automobile ride.
No engagements were made for
the president during the day;but he
was represented as holding himself
in readiness for conferences with
members of the senate foreign re-
lations committee and other sena-
tors who might desire to discuss the
peace treaty.

BY E c. SNYDER.

(Staff Correspondent Of The Omaha Bee)
Washington Bureau. Omaha Bee,
Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE
Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald in his story of
President Wilson's address before
the senate Thursday, in presenting
that body with the treaty of peace
made with Germany, and coupled
with it the covenant of the league
of nations, prints a circum stantial
account of the presidents snub of
Senator Hitchcock, notwithstanding
he has been everywhere recognized
as the spokesman of the admins
tration during the days when the
league of nations has been subject
of most severe criticism. The Her
aid correspondent says:
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
VINO has been known as the presi-
dents spokesman in the senate and
who had borne the brunt of the re-
publican attack during the absence
of Mr.. Wilson in France, has not
yet been consulted by the president
nor has he received any word from
the White House since the presi-
dent returned. He was not among
those who went to see Mr.. Wilson
after the speech was ended.
"Senator Hitchcock was plainly
very much provoked not only be-
cause the president gave his follow
ers nothing with which to meet the
republican onslaught but because he
had been neglected by the president.

SENATE LEADERS
PREP ARIN c FOR
FIGHT ON LEAGUE.
Exact Lines Of Discussion
p. May Not Be Drawn. for
Some Days; Wilson
Taking No Part.

Washington, July i1.-Senate
leaders in the league of nations con-
troversy continuedttheir conferences
in preparation for the ratification
fight, which will begin when the
senate reconvenes next Monday
While it was said the exact lines of
discussions might not be drawn for
some days, further progress in solidi-
flying their forces was claimed by
both sides.
President Wilson, having delivered
the treaty to the senate and offered
to supplement it with all the infor-
nation in his possession, apparently
put the matter temporarily out of
his mind. He saw none of the sena-
tors who have been active in the
fight and while he conferred with
Acting Secretary Polk at the state
department, it was understood other
subjects furnished the basis of their
discussion. y
Whether the presidents offer is
to be accepted by the foreign re-
lations committee remained an
open question. Some of the op-
position leaders are known to op-
pos. inviting him before the COM
mittee, but his supporters believe
they can secure his appearance
should he request that they do so.
There was continued discussion
during the day of President Will
sons reported declaration that
two thirds vote would be neces-
sary to make any reservations in
ratifyi1lg the treaty. The opposi-
tion leaders have proceeded in the
belief that only majority would
be necessary and they declare their
position is amply fortified by the
senate rules.
In some quarters it was sug-
gested that the presidents declara-
ton might mean a new turn in the
reservation fight. 1t was asserted
he may have meant that after a
ma jority had written reservations
in the ratification resolution, two
thirds must then support the
amended-resolution to secure rati-
fication.

Wilson Ignores Senator
Hitchcock and Nebraskan
is Provoked By Neglect
President Holds No Communication With Spokesman
Since Return From France Secretary Tumulty Is
Medium Through Which All Messages Are Trans
ferred; Senator Leaves for Summer Resort

He left the capitol TO play golf i'm
rlediately after the president had
finished and it was stated at his
Office that he would leave for his
summer home, in Massachusetts
late at night.
In this connection it is we'll
krown among newspaper men who
come III almost daily contact with
Senator Hitchcock that communica-
ton with the president upon mat
ters in controversy growing out of
the league of nations has invaribly
been transmitted to the president
through Secretary Tumulty and
that Mr. Tumulty has been the
medium through which communica-
tons have been made to the Ne
braska senator from the president.
There has not been any direct
communication between the two at
any time since Hitchcock espoused
the cause of the president and it is
stated that when Mr.. Hitchcock, as
a member of the committee of the
senate appointed to escourt the
president to the rostrunY in the
senate chamber, informed the chief
exc: :utive of the purpose of the
committee, he was met with cold
thank you"
No warmth of greeting of the
champion of the presidents position
as to the league of nations was ac-
corded the former chairman of the
foreign, relations committee and
those who profess to know say
Senator Hitchcock left for Massa-
chusetts Thursday night very
greatly wounded in his pride.
