QUESTIONS

COL 0NIES
D|S(;SSl)E[)
Dis c ussiOns on Problems
Are Developing at Vari-'
ance With President Will.
sons Suggestions.
(By Associated Press)

Paris, Jan. 29.-The future of the
former German colonies has assumed
the position Of one of the most in
teresting problems of the Peace Con-
ference.
The Supreme Council is considering
the general policy for the five great
powers to adopte and the discussions
have developed views at variance with
those of President Wilson's fourteen
points. The American delegates are
determined to remind the other pow
ers of this fact and to urge the adop-
tion of the American plan in order
to keep rival claimants within the
bounds of fairness. The proposed
liberalization would place colonies,
backward nationalities and tribes un-
der control of individual powers, who
who act entirely on lines of policy
dictated by the league of nations.
Distribution Of these guardianships
would be made by the league, so its
successful application is dependent
wholly upon the consummation of
the league. British colonial officers,
arguing against the leagues control,
said the guardians might feel them
selves saddled with a tremendous fl
nancial burden in the effort to de-
velop their wards. and yet be sub
,iect to criticism if it failed to bring
them forward.
President Wilson. in answer to
this said the American plan contem-
plated that the mandatory power
would be liable only for administra-
ton expenses, and that other expen-
ditures would be made only when au-
thorized by the league, unless the
colony were able to finance itself
from its own resources.
While not developed to the point
where an attempt has been made to
assign particular nations guardian
ships, the matter has been the sub
ject of special consideration.
It has been suggested in the case
that America, owing to it's large in
fluence in Turkey and because OF
the conviction among the Turks of
American disinterestedness, if Amer
lea were called upon to assume such
charge, it might naturally first
take the guardianship of Turkey in
Europe and Of considerable portion
OF Turkeys former provinces, in
cluding Armenia.
Paris. Jan. 29.-England's war cab
met held special meeting yesterday
to discuss the difficulties arising out
Of President Wilson's plan for dis
posal of the German colonies and
that of the other conferees, accord
ing to the Paris edition of the Lon
don Daily Mail. The newspaper
adds:
ut is believed that some approach
was made toward President Wilson's
viewpoint at the meeting of the Su-
preme Council after President Will
sons important speech giving more
details of his plan."

EXTRAVACANCE AND CONCEIT

The man who said conceit was
at the bottom of every extrava-
gance knew a good deal about
human nature. Few men would
pay $4 for a tie that did not look
as if it cost $4 and the factory
girls in Connecticut who are buy
ing $500 fur coats on installments
out of a SIS salary a week would
care little for such a coat if the
only place they could wear it
were in an asylum for the blind.
A modern philosopher says, II
conclude that dissatisfaction is a
common human ailment and that
| might as we'll be unhappy with
what | have as unhappy with
what | can't afford"
Thousands of Americans are
dissipating their savings in ex-
travagant purchases purely
through conceit. And it is a blind
conceit which deceives no one
but the extravagant themselves.
When a man goes into a store to
buy a Sc hat which he can afford
and comes out with a SIG hat
which has forced him to break
into his savings, he does not i'm
press the clerk who sells it or
his friends who see him wear it.
But he has injured them all and
himself also. He has aided to d.
vert production from necessities
to non-necessities, he has helped
keep up prices, and has with.
drawn potential capital from posi-
BILE use in increasing industry.
For himself, he has weakened
his defense against old age, sick
ness and loss of employment and
depleted his offensives in the
battle for success.
Failure to save is too high q
price to pay for the pampering
of conceit. The only safety
against extravaganza lies in
thrift and saving. Liberty Bonds,
War Saving Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates may not
make a flashy show but they are
more impressive than any ex-
travagant possession money can
buy. They afford protection to
savings future and character and
are sure roads to possession
of the things really needed and
desired.

SHORT COURSE IN
AGRICULTURE

Practical work in soil study
will be one of the features of
the sixteen weeks short course
in agriculture which began at
the State College of Agriculture
yesterday, October %.
The fields near the College af-
ford an excellent opportunity for
studying the formation of the
soil, and for noting the work
done by weathering agencies and
the resistance of certain rocks to
these agencies. This affords the
student a means of studying the
fundamental cause of soil varia-
tions.
In addition to the practical
work in the field, the laboratory
has been well equipped so the
student will have an opportunity
to see the physical and chemical
relationship of different soils.
Some up-to-date apparatus,
which was recently installed, will
be used in this short course.
According to Dean c. B. Will
liams of the College of Agricul-
ture, a combination of this field
and laboratory study will demon
strate the underlying principles
of good soil management.
Added to this, will be the
closely related study of farm
drainage and farm fertilizers.
Different fertilizer materials will
be compared. The effective use
of these materials will also be
given prominence by well ar.
ranged laboratory exercises.
To drain land all the instru.
ments used will be studied by
the short course men, and
practical demonstrations given in
terracing and tiling land. 1t is
realized that the soil is the basis
of all wealth, this is why consid'
cradle emphasis is given to this
soil study curing the duration Of
the course.
