When both the allies and the Germans

that the German merchants who con-

In closing, Mr.. Curtin spoke of that

with the trial of the kaiser and those
responsible for the war, and expressed
his opinion that such trial should be
held to prove that certain Germans
willed the war. The evidence should

Cost of Living III the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The peace
treaty promises to hold the spotlight in
congress again this week with POSSIBLE
ity that before the week is over the re-
port of the foreign relations committee
may bring the question of ratification
into the open senate.
Although Chairman Lodge declines to
make any prediction as to when the com
mittee will report, Democratic members
said they had an understanding with the
Republicans that action would be taken
this week if possible Some of the mem
bers. thought unlocked for delay might
result, however, from the committee 5

ton from President Wilson
Debate on the treaty also is to con
tinue in the senate. Senator's Nugent.

High cost of living questions will con
tinue to the fore in both branches of con-
gress. The senate agriculture committee
! Is. expected to report early in the week
| an amendment to put teeth" In the
Lever food control act.
The committee has before it the
amendment passed Friday by the house
but has not decided whether to pass the
house measure on to the senate or to re-
port new and distinct measure.
The house having carried out one Of
President Wilson's recommendations foi
reducing living costs, will consider an.
other this week in the Hutchinson bill tc
regulate cold storage of foodstuffs. The
measure is modelled on the New jersey
law, which the President recommended
to congress in his recent address.

tural Club in this State. This rec
ord is exceptional as no other Ken
tucky boy has equaled it or has II
been equaled in many other states
The boy to win this honor must
keep a business account, study a
special course on soils, farm crops,
etc, in connection with his prac
tical work of raising a crop or an
animal. Producing a fine pig or a
large number of bushels of corn to
the acre does not fill the club re-
quirements. A boy must show
special, definite business records,
thereby developing himself in a
business way, in an educational way
and in a practical way along agri-
cultural lines.
There is a great future in agri-
cultural work for boys Of the State
of Kentucky who will take hold of
agricultural work and carry it on
as Iona Fish of Berea has done.
He is a splendid example of what
agriculture will be il the coming
generations in Kentucky if boys will
get busy along these lines.

THE BOYS AND GIRLS
AGRICULTURAL CLUE
Iona C. Fish

There is no more honorable pro-
fessiOn than that of good farmer,
and the sooner one begins this task
the better. One of the best ways
TO begin this task is to become a
member of the Agricultural Club as
a boy.
In the past few years corn, pig,
and poultry clubs have been sepa-
rate organizations. But due to care
full consideration it was decided
that better work could be obtained
If these separate organizations were
now made divisions Of this main
Boys and Girls Agricultural Club.
So this was done, and what had
been separate organizations were
now made divisions, namely; corn,
pig. poultry. dairy calves, baby beefs,
tobacco, potatoes, soy beans, lambs
and cover crops.
II is supposed that only one of
these organizations be maintained
within a county, the county agent
being the main leader, the superin-
tendents and school teachers being
his helpers, while within the club
alone, there is the president, the
vice-president, secretary and treas
urer. These officers together with
the rest of the members hold regu-
lar meetings whenever desired or
necessary.
There are seven main objects OF
the Boys and Girls Agricultural
Club, namely:
4. To train and encourage boys
and girls 10 stay on the farm.
2. To show that the use Of prac-
tical and scientific methods Of agri-
culture make farming more profit
able and enjoyable.
3. To teach the business side OF
farming
4. To offer boys and girls oppor-
tunity for agricultural education.
5. To assist boys and girls in
making money and encourage them
10 go to an agricultural college.
9. To teach the value OF co-op-
GRAFTON and teamwork.
