DRAWING ITS TEETH
League of Nations VIII Be Harmless
Document When Senate Gets
Through.

As reservation after reservation Is
being added to the treaty Of peace and
the League Of Notions by the senate
it becomes more and more apparent
that the obnoxious features Of the
treaty will all be eliminated or the doc
ument will not be allowed pass the
senate at all. A reservation was ad-
opted first Of all that the main sigma
tory powers must accept the reserva-
tions or American ratification is with
held. The right to order American
soldiers to foreign countries is retain
ed solely in Congress and the Monroe
doctrine is to be interpreted and en-
forced strictly by Americans. Such
questions as mandates to protect small
Asiastic and African countries are left
to the decision Of congress and it will
not send American boys over there to
be killed over their foolish quarrels.
The teeth which Messrs. Lloyd George
and Clemenceau put in the document
to draw American dollars away from
this country and use them to restore
Europe and Asia will all be drawn by
the senate statesmen, who escaped the
glamour of royal entertainments, and
have only home folks to think about
In fact it is evident that the treaty
when the senate majority gets through
with it will be SO acceptable to the
American people that it will no long
er be acceptable to President Wilson
and the administration forces will
likely be able to muster the one-third
of the senate necessary to kill it. Let
it die! It is the best that can hap
pen to it.

POLITICAL STRAWS
Elections in Various Sections Have
Exploded Wilson's Claims of
Having the People With
Him.

For nearly a year President Wilson
and his followers have been boldly
making the claim that he has the peo-
pie back of him in his fight for
league of nations, but that claim has
been shot SO full of holes by various
elections in the past few months that
no well informed person any longer
dares make the assertion. The first
test came last spring through u va
cancy in u Massachusetts district SO
close that neither party usually can
get over few hundred majority. The
campaign was fought out on the issue
oil the league and the republican won
two to one. So effective was the re
buke that the democratic state conven-
ton called afterwards saw the drift
and denounced the league in its plat
form. Next vacancy occurred In a
district of Minnesota carried by VIII
son in 1916. Same issue and indepen-
dent republican denouncing league
won with regular republican advocat-
ing reservations second, and democrat
ic candidate for league poor third.
Next the famous blue grass district
of Kentucky with its eight solid dem
ocratic counties elected a republican
on the league issue to represent it IN
congress. Then came the test in Ala
bama where a district specially gerry
wandered to insure five thousand
democratic majority after two post
ponements of the election to give the
democratic workers time to get over
their scare only pulled the democratic
candidate through with 276 votes to the
good. Finally last Saturday the vot-
ers of an Oklahoma district with a
safe four thousand majority for the
democrats and which never before
elected republican candidate had a
vacancy to fill. The campaign was
fought solely on the league issue and
even Senator Reed Of Missouri was
egged from the platform and mobbed
by the Oklahoma democrats. Still
when the votes were counted the re-
publican candidate had 1900 to the
good. 1t would take a hardened liar
indeed in the face Of such tests TO
longer claim that the American peo-
pie want the League of Nations.

carried to conclusion which have
been of material assistance to the
science of irrigation and it may be
said that original research has de-
veloped practical designs of great i'm
portance. An exhaustive study has
been made concerning the law gov
crning the discharge Of flowing wa
ter over sharp crested weirs of vari-
our lengths and designs, also there
has been Investigations on orifices,
headgates, divisions. and other meas
ures devices.
In general the scheme Of investiga-
tion consists of admitting water from
the supply reservoir through head
gates or valves into a channel con-
tanning the measuring device under
test Suitable regulation is provided
to maintain a constant discharge of
the water through the model. After
passing the model the water is col
lected into reinforced concrete basins
or tanks whose volume or capacity
is accurately known. From the dis
charged volume of water into these
calibrated tanks and the period Of
time that is was admitted forms the
basis of the determination of the
unit flow. Various rates of flow is
passed through the experimental
model which under certain standard
conditions of setting will establish
the law of discharge. Various influ-
encing factors are introduced and
the results carefully noted which in
dicate what might be expressed when
the model is operating under field
conditions and is subjected to similar
influences.
There is also maintained at the
laboratory a current meter rating sta
tion which was constructed to inves-
tigate the theory of rating meters.
This rating station is mechanically
equipped and the results of the OBJ
servations is entirely free Of any per-
sonal element, and of the great num-
ber of tests made on current meters
the results Indicate the extreme ac-
curacy OF equipment.
Reports in bulletin form on a num-
Der Of our Investigations are now
available.

AMERICAN LEGION ORGANIZES
Large Membership Registers for The
Formation Of Local Post.

At IL o'clock on Armistice Day the
meeting Of enlisted men to form a
local post Of the American Legion was

COAL SITUATION
J. II. Snyder, Local Agent. Explains
Director Hines Seizure Order.

In an interview with J. H. Snyder,
Lamar agent for the railroad admin
istration, he said that most of the
people misunderstood the recent seiz-
ure order he finds. Most of them
think that it was only certain car
loads of coal that was seized to sup
ply the roads themselves. However,
when the strike was a certainty the
director to insure fairness and the
least possible suffering seized all the
coal. The roads as the greatest pub
lie necessity get their needs filled
first. Certain absolutely necessary
public utilities and factories come next,
and then the local agents weekly re-
ports are taken into consideration and
the balance distributed carefully to
prevent actual suffering as far as pos
sible. Under this arrangement each
of the Lamar dealers was allotted one
car this week and more will be grant

Coal Strike Collapses

The firm stand taken by the gov
ernment and the courts and backed
up by the governors Of most Of the
states affected has resulted in an al
most camplete collapse Of the coal
strike. The leaders of the miners
union under orders of the federal
courts have called off the strike and
in most Eections the fncn are flocking
back to work. If the other threatened
disturbances in the country were treat
ed in the same ma 1ner the troubles of
the country would 3e quickly settled.
The right of any man to quit work
should be pnque3ti )ned. and il should
be equally as firm,y established that
any other man has the right to work.
and the entire military and police force
of the country should he back Of him
to defend that right. II this right
was enforced aiwags there would be
no strikes. The insistance on this
right by the public which was vitality
affected by the strike is responsible
for the quick solution.

BIG ELKS CLASS
Elks Celebrate Armistice Day With
Fireworks and Big Doin's Includ-
ing Initiation of Class Of
Thirty.

Tuesday evening was a big time for
Lamar Lodge No. 1919, B. P. o. Elks.
A class of thirty candidates turned
out in spite of the severe weather and
came from all sections Of the big ter
ritory of the lodge in Colorado and
Kansas. They were given a chance to
assist in the parade and fireworks
which the lodge celebrated the day and
were furnished big feed at 6 o'clock.
In the evening the striking and i'm
pressive initiatory ceremonies were
given to the class to the full satisfac-
tion of all present. After these pro-
ceedings another fine lunch was serv-
ed and special entertainment pro-
gram given. 1t was a very late hour
when all was over and the members
ready to go home. The lodge now
has a membership of over three hum
dred and long list of petitioners are
already on the waiting list to get in
the great order which is devoted to
Americanism, charity and good fel-
lowship. Notwithstanding the worst
weather for months the lodge was
crowded to overflowing all evening.
and the need of the proposed new
home was more apparent than ever.

"Snowbound in Flivver Twenty Miles

ed as they need it. This program will
be continued as long as danger of
shortage exists. People who have sew
eral weeks supply are not to be sup
piled with more while any are known
to be short of supplies. If the order
cutting off the strike is obeyed gener-
ally over the country it is likely the
restrictions will soon be withdrawn.

Big Storm

The Arkansas valley had escaped the
storms which have been affecting the
rest of the state so long that our peo-
pie had begun to think that it might
be a light winter. This idea received
a rude jolt last Saturday when a reg
ular blizzard set in. 1t was fresh
one too, starting out with lightning
storm and hail, it soon changed 70
snow and falling temperature made
Saturday night bad one for all who
were out. The next two or three days
were a continued procession Of thaws,
snow and cold waves making the most
disagreeable weather for years. The
storm came SO suddenly that hundreds
were caught unprepared and there was
much suffering among stock as well as
people. The main roads were lined
with autos that had to be abandoned
owing to getting stuck in mud or
snow.

ARMISTICE DAY CELEBRATION
In Spite of Inclement Weather Lamar
Entertained Several Hundred
Soldiers and Sailors.

1t was chilly day that Lamar pick
ed to welcome the return of Prowers
c5unty's soldiers, sailors and marines,
but while it detracted seriously from
the number of visitors and the carry
ing out of the prepared program it
did not affect the warmth of the greet
ing accorded the boys. There has not
been more disagreeable day in many
months and the number of visitors
outside of the boys themselves and
their immediate families was small.
Elaborate preparations had been made
for the feeding of the crowd expected
and for the amusement program, but
most of these had to be abandoned
as they were of an outdoor nature
However, there were ample provisions
for the feeding of all who came and
tickets for free meals were given out
to over two hundred and fifty soldier
and sailor guests of the city.
While it became warmer in the af
ternoon the mud and slush were so
deep that the football game and other
outdoor sports were abandoned and
arrangements made for an athletic
pavalion in the big new room of the
Sunday garage and the boxing and
wrestling matches were pulled off
of interested spectators. All the par
Elephants showed gameness and clean
sports and it made the matches very
interesting.
The wrestling match between Bob
Strain and Bud Baldwin resulted in
a victory for Strain, who won first
fall in one and half minutes and
the second in two and three-quarters
minutes.
In the boxing class the first bout
was a five-round draw between iBll
Bent and Joe Snyder.
Second bout was a five-round be-
tween Gordon Mclean and L. Conger
with Mclean as winner.
Third bout was a five-round draw
between Bud Mitchell and v. Hopkins.
Fourth bout was three rounds be-
tween C. Allen and L. Tucker and re-
suited in victory for Allen.
The fifth bout was a highly color
ed affair between Rufus Bland and
Forest Clay and would have been a
credit to Jack Johnson and Joe Cans.
Bland won close decision.
In the evening there was big dis
play of fireworks by the Elks and a
parade Of candidates for-the big class
that evening. The festivities wound
up with big dance at the Sunday gar
age with over two hundred couples
dancing.
There was general regret that the
severe change of weather should have
so materially interfered with the pro-
gram but the people generally took
the disappointment good naturedly
and everything went off better than
could be expected under the circum-
stances.
The Y. NJ. B. A. deserves the thanks
of all for taking hold and making a
success of the affair in spite of all
difficulties. The committee on ar
rangements consisting of o. II. Rhod-
enbaugh. C. H. Wooden and F. H.
Kelsey did some hard and efficient
work in short time allowed them.
