Representative Osborne of California
shows a considerable degree of common
sense when be remarks that high prices
may be expected to prevail at least until
the Liberty bonds are paid. A large
portion OF the people have yet failed to
grasp the thought that those bonds will
have to be paid. With the war over, and
business resuming its normal condition,
we have csrelessly thought that every
thing was going on as before. But we
can't spend the inconceivsble amount of
thirty billions or so without having TO
pay for it some time. America will
doubtless pay her debt easier than any
other country in the world, but even here
the bill is something staggering. There
are "hsrd times" ahead for the world in
general, there is no winking that fact out
OF sight.

The town OF Randolph seems to he
badly torn up in consequence of an Incl
dent Of "the night before the Fourth, :"
when there was a controversy between
those who wanted to ring church bell
and the church authorities who did not
want 1t ruug. How many hundred times
the same situation has come about in q
New England town, how much rancor
and foolish talk il has caused, and how
often it has split a town into factions!
What the situation has generally needed
is little divine patience and considera-
ton on the one hand, and little COM
mon decency in place of hoodlumism on
the other, all of which has too often been
lacking. The day may come, in the full
ness of times, when we shall look back
on all such controversies as belonging to
the intellectual infancy of the race.

Nv Dear Friends :

Ny Dear Friends:
/ hardly know what to write in
this letter for do not know just
what | told ycu in my last letter, so
if should happen to "cover the
same ground twice. yon viii under
stand and excuse the mistakes,
won't yous
| have been up here at Versailles
about six weeks and have been hay-
ing the time of my life, but first /
Will tell you my reasons for coming
and just what / am doing here
Before leaving Beams i ''took
stock and found out that / had
seen very little of France and my
chances for seeing il seemed to be
very limited should / remain there.
So in view of the opportunity / had
of coming up here | thought it would
pay me to lose the last six weeks of
nv course down there IN order that
| might get to see more Of France
and learn few things from sight
seeing and varied experiences. Well
to make long story short changed
my course and came up here for a
special course in Horticulture. It's
true the work here is very interest
ing and / might have an occasion to
put hit of it to practical use some
day but still / think my experiences
here outside of school are the real
worth while features of my time
spent here. In the first place it is
something to be right here in YER
sailles at the time the eyes of the
world are turned to this one place.
Then, as you know, Versailles is
within thirty-fve minutes ride of
Paris, and i have spent several
worth while hours visiting the art
galleries, museums, etc, in the most
artistic city in the world. Of course
| have seen Napoleon's Tomb. The
Triumphed arches, the Bastille, and
hundreds of other interesting places
in Paris. Last Sunday went up or
the Eiffel Tower, which you know
is the highest structure in the world.
/ am also planning ON going through
the catacombs tomorrow so you see
| am going to the extremes in the
sight seeing game.
Since coming to Versailles I have
had permanent pass to Paris and
each weekend ! get two or three
day leave to visit other points if /
desire such a leave.
Three weeks ago l went down to
Marsailles and bathed my face and
hands in the Mediterranean Sea.
Two weeks ago / went up into Bel
GUM and visited the towns of Brus-
sells, Antwerp, Briggs, Ostend and
Zubingee. While up there / also
took trip over into Holland.
On two previous week-ends l Wis
tied the front at Rheims, Verdun,
Meaux, Chateau Thierry, Chalous,
Simple, Aubierville, and the Ar
gonne, so you see ! have seen Sec
tions of the front from Zubinge to
Verdun, including the above named
places as well as the German sub
marine base at Brugga and sections
of Flanders Fields as well as st.
Quintin, Nous, and other towns
along the road.

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
ard other specialists are required to
take care VI our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and Judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy TO sci! as the
market In the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofinteIligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?

Mrs. Sada r. Wilson, county super

Members of the Englewood public
school faculty were very reticent in
regard to the alleged agreement en-

the twenty-one teachers recently. The
teachers, however, were frank to say
that they could not live on present

Students told today that one teach

NEW COMP PR0MISE
ON PEACE TREATY
POSSIBLE TODAY
United States May Be Pledged
To Intervene In Any Future
European War Threatening
Civilization.

Washington, Dec, 19.-Formal con-
sideration of issues of the peace
treaty fight will be re~opened tomor-
row by the senate foreign relations
committee and an effort made to
work out a new compromise plan to
be placed before the senate after the
holidays.
The resolution of Senator Knox, re-
publican, Pennsylvania, to declare
state of peace Is expected to be the
basis of the committees work.
Various notifications are expected,
however, so as to incorporate provs-
ions which republican leaders hope
will draw democratic support
Among the changes and additions
understood to have been considered
by the republicans is one designed to
preserve to the United States any ma
tertal advantages embodied in the
treaty as, 1t stands, Another sugges-
ton is that the resolution include a
general declaration Of policy pledging
the United States to intervene in any
future European war which menaces
civilization.
Some members of the committee
desire to see action also on Senator
knoS's alternate resolution to ratify
the treaty with the, league of nations
covenant excluded, but the objection
was made today that a two-thirds
vote would be required for that meas
ure, making the outcome much more
doubtful.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee were not hopeful tonight that
the republican majority would get to-
gether tomorrow on any compromise
measure acceptable to the adminis-
tration forces in the senate. All pro-
posals for a separate declaration of
peace have met with stubborn demo-
cratic resistance heretofore. and 1t
was predicted in some quarters that
lengthy debate In the committee
would prevent action tomorrow.
While the committee leaders were
shaping plans for consideration OF
peace resolution as a compromise. a
OF senators of both parties
continued to urge general confer
ence in January of democrats and re-
publicans earnestly desiring ratifica-
ton with reservations. So confident
were some of these senators that
they predicted such a ratification by
January Is.
