The banks of this country are bulg-
ing with money. The people are rich.
Their government borrowed billions,
but it borrowed from the people, who
have recovered most of the money in
business and at the same time hold the
bonds, which are drawing interest.
Does the United States depend upon
the peace conference after all? Is it
not rather a fact that the United
States has been held back too long in
its normal domestic development I'M
til it is too cramped? The 10O.00O,OOO
individuals of this country want more
railroads. more buildings. more homes.
more schools, more churches, more
suburbs, more farms. more gardens,
more of everything that brings COM
fort. Why shouldn't the people have
what they want when they have the
money to buy it? Most of whatever
hesitation there is in business prob
ably can be placed at the door of the
government. There are yet remain
ing too many restrictions, engendered
by the war. There are too many bu-
reaus having strings on the business
freedom of the people. For instance
there are great shipyards lying idle
while huge foreign orders await them
but they cannot move without federal
permission, which is not forthcoming

ANNIE LAURIE
ANSWERS

Miss Annie Laurie: I have a boy
friend whom I have gone to school
with ever since 1 was in the sixth
grade and an now finishing high
school. My friend Joined the navy last
June and we kept up a correspon-
Gence. He wrote regularly until last
October and in his last letter he said
they were to sail for England the next
day and said 1 should write and it
would be sent on to him. 1 wrote
once, but 1 have never received an an
swer or a letter since. Should l just
wait or is there some place I could
find out where he is? We are Just
friends and 1 can see no reason for
him to discontinue writing. s. B.
s. B.: If you will go to the Home
Service" of the Red Cross you can get
any information you wish. In this
case it would take a little time, but
the Red Cross will be glad to serve
you. Could you not ask a member of
his family when they had received
mail? Many of the boys have so little
time to write and some of them find
it quite task.

VIEWS ON WORLD NEWS
Written by j. w. T. Mason, United
Press Expert.

New York, Feb. 10.-Possibility of
a future war is threatening by con-
tinued refusal of the French govern
ment to have any intercourse with the
government of Russia.
If Russia is not admitted as a full
participating member into the league
of nations, an alliance between Ger
many and Russia will become almost
inevitable. By the principles of the
league of nations, alliances among its
members are not to be tolerated; yet.
the league itself will not fulfill all the
purposes of an alliance, because its
members do not intend to pledge
themselves to go to war on one an
others behalf.
But, by no possibility can the league
prevent an alliance being formed
among nations excluded from the
leagues affairs. Any such alliance
would be secret, and consequently not
legally known until it was revealed by
an act of war. If, therefore, the Rus
slams are kept in isolation by the peace
conference and il Germany continues
to be held on a lower footing than the
other members of the league, it is GER
tain that the Germans and Russians
will sravitate toward each other.
Russ Join Huns.
From this unity of interest, a Rus
so-German alliance might easily be
developed, which would be unique as
the only secret alliance existing among
the great nations. All the other first
class powers would be loosely united
by the league of nations, but would not
be bound to one another in war 1t is
inconceivable that America and the
allies would stand idly by at press mt
and see Germany and Russia attack
any of their number. But the history
of Diplomacy has seen many such in
conceivable happenings come to pass
in ha of
of revenue would find greater advan-
taee in a Russo-German alliance than
is non-binding league of antions.
By frankly recognizing conditions
as they exist in Russia and by admit
ting Russia to full partnership with the
western democracies, the danger OF a
Teuton-Slav alliance would be de-
stroyed. But there can be no guaran-
tee of security by the league of ma
lions If this is not done.

nounced they were going to Antwerp.
One evening there came a caller for
Lavise at their Antwerp hotel, and
Judith heard Roger Cuthberts voice.
Then Lavise called from the little
salon: "Oh, Judith, bring me that
rose on the chiffonaire!"
Judith stood still a moment, I'M
certain and trembling. When the i'm
perious call was repeated she~took the
rose from its vase and drew aside the
portiere.
Thru the window a ray of the set
ting sun turned her bright hair to
gold. and her cheeks, above the SOM
berness of her maids black dress were
a delicate rose. Roger Cuthbert
thought he had never seen a human
creature more, beautiful. He sprang
to his feet and held out his hand.
"Why il dith-Judith! How glad !

WATERS FOReETS HIMSELF
Amazcs the Court With Bursts o.
Profanity.

Profanity.
In connection with one OF the State
Journals two libel suits set for trial
this week, Joseph Waters. veteran
attorney for the prosecution against
Frank p MacLennan. OF the State
journal, became very much excited at
the court house today and swore most
profanely before Judge Carver of the
district court.
Here is the version of E. d NC
Keever, Mr.. MacLennan's attorney:
Mr. Waters stated to me in the
presence of Judge Carver that IL was
a outrage that article was
published in the paper SATURDAY eve
ming; and that it was a. - con,
| temptible piece of business. Il repllea
| that I didn't edit the State journal,
| did not instigate and was not respon-
sible for the article. Waters retorte'
\ was responsible for it and 1t was my
| work as much as MacLennan' Waters
| continued cursing me for a short time
| and when he went out on the street
he told the first man he met that he
had given me a good cursing before
| the judge about that article"
l. Concerning the news story referring
to one Of the two State Journal cases
| coming before him this week, Judge
Carver said this afternoon:
Waters exclaimed before me it is
| q - - outrage
When McKeever appeared before
Judge Carver, Waters in accusNg him
of instigating a story, used the violent
language. McKeever denied the Sac-
cusation. whereupon Waters replied:
You know ---- we'll .yop did,
The exchange of words promised 10
ibecome warm when McKeever dismiss
ed the affair. with the remark:
| 'tAll right. / won't argue with you"
| The conversation took place in the
presence of E. d. McKeever, Judge
Carver and 2. T. Hazen.
1.-The man who wrote the article, is
responsible for it and the only insti-
gator of it, is the editor of this paper.
His name appears at the top of the
fourth page of this sheet as the re-
sponsible party and has appeared in
that same spot for thirty-three years.

Topeka $4,000, and the structure

these in one appropriation bill.

SHIPPING

There seems to be quite a bit Of
misunderstanding about the system
Of cooperative shipping. This sys-
TEN of handling farm produce came
in answer to the call of necessity.
A man with a few hogs or COWS or
other farm produce was denied the
benefit of the big. markets because he
was not able TO furnish a car load
of any one product. Farm Demon
stration Agents have been working
out this plan for the past two years.
The principle is 10 grade the producI
and give each shipper a receipt lor
the ~iauantity and grade o. .ls part
of the sbipment. All necessary eX-
penses are deducted from n gross
returns and uro rated equally among
the shippers. each pound OF the
shipment bearing the same expense.
IT. IS easy to sec that G system sucn
as this is sure to incur nerce oppo-
sition from that class OF reopie
known as Hog and Cattle BUYERS be-
cabse their plan was to BUY as cheap
as they COULD and sell as high as
POSSIBLE. Now I am not crticising
these gentlemen harShly for operat-
ing in this manner for it is the com

SWEET POTATOES

The time for planting sweet po-
tatoes is now here and would like to
cali attention to two points. mrs.
fertilizer and second the distance OF
planting. e.
One of the best fertilizers for
sweet potatoes is 200 pounds or cot.
ton seed meal and 800 pounds OF
Acid Phosphate per acre.
In planting be sure to set the
plants not more than IL inches IN the
drill unless you are gong 10 pu'
two slips to the hill. This IS very
necessary because if you plant in the
usual way you will be sure to have
a large per cent of your potatoes
too large to go in the Mol Grade.
The way to reduct the size OF your
potato is to crowd the plants maehe
drill and when you begin setting just
cut a IL inch stick and measure "a
few hills so as to get the proper
gage for setting.
