difference of opinion or motive as to the objects which we were seeking. ENTHUSIASM MARKED DEBATE
 Indeed, while these debates were not made the opportunity for the expression of enthusiasm and sentiments. I thinti the other members of the commission will agree with me that there was an undertone of high respect and of enthu- sasm for the thing we were trying to do. which was heartening- through out every meeting.
 Because we felt that in a way this conference did entrust unto us the eX- pression of one of it's highest and mos. important purposes, to see to it that the concord of the world in the future with regard to the objects of justice should not be subject to doubt or uncertainty; that the cooperation of the great body of nations should be assured in the mante nance of peace upon terms of honor anu Of international obligations.
 "The compulsion of that task was con stantly upon us, and at no point was there shown the slightest desire to dn anything but suggest the hest means to accomplish that great object. There is very great significance. therefore in the fact that the result was reached unan- imously.
 "Fourteen nations were represented, among them all of those powers which for convenience we have called the Great Powers. and among the rest repre- sentation of the greatest variety of circumstances and interests. So that think we are justified in saying that the significance of the result, therefore, has the deepest of all meanings, the union of wills in a common purpose. a union Of wills which cannot be resisted, and which. I dare say, no nation will run the risk of attempting to resist.

POWERS UNMISTAKABLE

"Its purposes do not for moment lie vague It's purposes are declared and it's powers are unmistakable. It is not in contemplation that this should be merely a league to secure the peace of the world. It is a league which can be used for cooperation in any inter- national matter. That is the signih- canoe of the provision introduced con corning labor. There are many ameli- orations of labor conditions which can be effected by conference and discus
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-15

sion. I anticipate that there will be a very great usefulness in the bureau of labor which it is contemplated shall be set up by the league. Men and women and children who work have been in the background through long ages and sometimes seemed to be for gotten while governments have had their watchful and suspicious eyes upon the maneuvers of one another, while the thought of statesmen has been about structural action and the larger trans actions of commerce and of finance.
 Now. if I may believe the picture which I see, there comes into the fore ground the great body of the labor ing people of the world, the men and women and children upon whom the great burdens of sustaining the world n ust from day to day fau, whether we wish it to do so or not; people who go to bed tired and wake up without the stimulation of lively hope. These peo- pie will be drawn into the field of in- ternational consultation and help and will be the wards of the combined gov ernments of the world. This is, I take leave to say, very great step in ad- vance in the mere conception of that.

RAIL WILL BE NEEDED

If, after. the spring months set in, there should come an abundant down. fall of rain, lasting off and on during the planting and growing season, then the farmers can count upon an eXtra- ordinary harvest of wheat, after due allowance for certain dangers that sometimes appear in midsummer.
 Spring planting is yet to begin, but the winter conditions have an inn portant effect upon spring prospects And in all that vast era of the far west where wheat and other grainS are cultivated, the prospect for spring wheat is now watched with intense ln- terest by all those who will cultivate the soil to wheat until harvest days.
 If the hope, which is now entertained, of record-making spring and winter wheat crop are competent to judge, for the belief that the farm lands of the United States may yield in 1919 a crop of wheat of approximately bill lion and a quarter bushels.
 The government guarantees the price which will be paid to farmers for the wheat they will harvest in 1915 The expectation is that Europe will make an unusually heavy demand for rye and probably as heavy demand for other grain foods as was the case in 1918

GREATEST HARVEST
 WHEAT EXPECTED
By HOLLAND

New York, February 14.-(Special) A billion two hundred and fifty mil lion bushels of wheat may be harvest ed this year and, if the weather condi- tions prove to be as favorable as they have been so far this winter, the pro- bability is strong that the worlds greatest harvest of wheat will be gath cred before the season ends next fall.
 Already reports are coming to New York from other parts of the country which tell of the early promise of the wheat harvest and there reports give encouragement to all who have been year will depend in great measure that continued prosperity of the country. Some of the leaders in the securities market have been saying, one to an- other, that the probability of great crops will, without question: inspire renewed and possibly very great ac- tivy in the securities market.
 From Kansas come reports that, al- ways allowing for possible unfavor- able weather conditions, the farmers will harvest this year the largest wheat crop ever garnered in that state. In some parts of the south where the cul- tivation of wheat is now large, ap- prehensions were felt early in the winter that by reason of the peculiar kind of winter weather We have had. the wheat that was planted early in the winter or late in the fall might not mature satisfactorily. These fears seem now to have been ended if the south does as well in the production of wheat as it did last year it's harvest will serve greatly to supplement the wheat which is grown in the greater wheat belts of the United States.
 The weather has been unusual, even phenomenal, in many parts of the coun- cry where wheat is chiefly cultivated. In the northwest, for instance, the January of this year was peculiar, not having any precedent, because it was the mildest first month of the year which the farmers of that section have ever experienced They looked out at the sky each day and saw an un- usual sun whose rays were very mild. almost warm, whereas it was their hope that the sun would be darkened, the weather cold and that heavy snows were about to fall. When the farm CTS measured the extent of the frost in the soil up to the latter part of Jar- uary they found that it has reached only two or three inches below the surface. A deep frost is essential if there is to be an abundant harvest of wheat There came, however abou t the day of the ground hog a gra tifying drop in temperature.
 Then the frost penetrated into the soil There followed an abundant fall of snow. These two conditions were essential if the farmers were to lool. with encouragement for a successful, growth of wheat

HOME TOWNS
WELCOMING
How the Iowa County Seats With
Companies in the Famous Iowa
Regiment Spent Money on
Celebrations.

The men of the famous 16Sth in
fantry were mustered out by COM
panies, so that each company could
go home as unit to the county
seats from which they started to war
in 1917.
Each OF the companies OF the regi-
ment came from county seats in
southwestern Iowa, the nearest to
Keokuk being Centerville, and the
most distant Council Bluffs.
Each city with company in the
regiment which was the old Third
Iowa national guard, did its best to
extend the heroes welcome, and the
figures of the finances of these cele-
brations are available now.
| 1t is reported that Creston spends
$4,000 on its celebration, Ottumwa
! SO, 900 and Oskaloosa $4,000. Cen
terville planned to spend S1,200
which is the cost of. one arch in OF
tumwa. In Ottumwa and some other
places much work was donated, and
part of the funds were used to send
the casualty members of the regi-
ment to the Des Moines celebration
from the homes to which they had
been invalided. The Centerville arch
cost $500.
Atlantic, Shenandoah. Red Oak,
villisca, and other cities with COM
panies in the 16Sth infantry, each
raised and spent much money on the
welcome home of their companies.
The Keokuk men transferred to
the regiment after leaving here with
another one were placed chiefly in
Company l., belonging to Councif
Bluffs.
The Keokuk welcome did not cost
hundreds where those of other cities
cost thousands-but was equally yalu-
able to the men. from all accounts.
The big pie stunt here was quite ss
pleasurable to the soldiers as chicken
at a dollar apiece, and did not cost
Ia cent Of money raised and paid. the
pies being donated by about nine
hundred women. The decorations
here cost few dollars and were as
good in effect as those in any city.

spent less money, and attained equal
ly effective results, a study Of the
situation and talks with the men In
