British Papers Warm in
Support for Great Step

MEANS END OF WAR
Indicates That President Has
Learned Good Deal Since
Going to Europe

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE covenant
of the League of Nations is hailed
by British papers as an historic do
cunent, drefted in an atmosphere of
good faith, postulating complete hon
esty in the dealings between the sig
natories, and foreshadowing better
and wiser governments throughout
the world. Though the personal tri-
umph Of President Wilson is acknow-
lodged, it is pointed out in modified
form, that the covenant indicates that
he> has learned great deal since he
came to Europe, and pride is expres
ed that so much of the WORK o. Brit
ishers is visible in the league. The
mandatory principle is based on the
relations between Great Britain, In
dia, and the overseas Dominions. The
recognition is welcomed as not the
least significant feature of the coven-
ant.

For Wilson and His World
Society Draft

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-From
the temper of the leaders of the Sen
ate, it apears likely that before the
end of the week that body will find
itself plunged into a debate on the
League of Nations, despite the ca
bled request of the President that
all debate be withheld until he re-
turns to the Whitehouse to confer
with members of the foreign rela-
tions committee of the Senate and
the foreign affairs committee of the
House.
More than one Senator is ready to
take the floor in debate on the pro-
ject of the League and the body does
not feel disposed to wait until the
President comes back to Washing
ton. The point was emphasized to-
night by Republican senators that
while the President has urged that
Congress refrain from talking about
the privilege of discussing it. in the
projected Boston speech, in advance
of his conference with the members
of Congress.
The Presidents contemplated dis
cussion of the League in Boston

Why Should We Restrict the
Use of Drugs and Alco-
holic Liquors

Far back in history we find cases
where people have found the use of
alcohol harmful and have formed.
what we now call, Temperance So
cieties. In the Bible in the book of
jeremiah it tells of small tribe of
people that formed a club or banded
themselves together pledging they
would use nc alcoholic beverages not
even as "medicine." To be sure that
they used none of these, they drank
nothing but water and ate only bread
and things made from grains.
In the middle of the nineteenth
century the first society in America
was formed (1840) by five Or six men
who knew the effects of drinking,
from their own personal experiences.
Since then it has spread, like grass on
fire, until the whole of the United
States, and many other sections of
the world, has prohibition.
In England and Germany before
the war the main drink was a weak
kind of beer, and in France and Italy
they had wine. In England they are
putting up a fight against prohibi-
ton, but it is expected the prohibi-
tionists will win, because the King
of England has declared England
"bone-dry' for certain length of
time.
The government has prohibited the
sale of alcoholic drinks in the United
States by declaring the country "bone
dry" for the duration of the war.
Now, however, Al states have ratified,
and an amendment has been made
to the Constitution saying no liquor
shall be made and sold in the United
States.
Opium was used a great deal, in
China and Japan but those countries
recognizing how harmful the drug
was, have prohibited the sale and use
of that and other drugs in the coun-
tries.
In other parts of the world opium,
morphine, ETC., are used in making
medicines, but these medicines are
slowly being displaced by other med
icines more effective and without
drugs in them.-Charles Malam, 10.

FARM PROFESSION :
HIT UPON BY FEDERAL
EDUCATIONAL BOARD
A Profitable Vocation Offers
Good Future for Disabled
Farm Men

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Labor
is the great problefi1s on the farm
at the present time. War conditions
and abnormal wages in the various
lines of industry have demoralized
farm help to such an extent that it
is exceedingly difficult to get assist
ance requisite to carry on operations.
In this state of chaos, the FEEDER
al Board for Vocational Education
has hit upon what seems to be So
luton, and has created a brand new
professionalism of farm mechanic, D
and it is figured that any farm of
more than 100 cultivated acres can
very well afford to have a man of
this sort.
The men being qualified for this
work are disabled soldiers who before
injury were farm boys. With this
background of agricultural knowledge
these men are being taught to oper-
ate modern tractors which do the
work of many teams and men. They
are being taught operation, care and
up-keep of motor trucks and Other
gas engines. They are being given
a general course in looking after all
machinery used on modern farms, and
indications are that the supply OF
these specially trained men will moi
begin to equal the demand. Farm
hands who before the war, could not
hope to make more than $25 or $3C
month as laborers can by becoming
proficient as farm mechanics, qualify
for positions paying from $100 te
$125 per month with steady employ
ment the year around.
1t is an exceedingly interesting de.
velopment of our national rural life
brought about by forces of necessity
and is but another Illustration of tht
well known fact that the emergency
is usually met in one form or another
Farm boys who have been discharg
! ed and are disabled as a result OF
their services either by sickness, ac
| cident, or disease would do well tt
write to the Federal Board for Vo
cational Education, Washington, D
c., and obtain the particulars of thi.
training which the Government pro
vides free for its disabled men.

SENATE SURPRISED
AT TEETH IN DRAFT
OF NATIONS LEAGUE
The Compulsory Arbitration
Feature Somewhat of
a Jolt
FORCE TO MANDATES
The Five Major Powers Shall
Dominate the League in
Practice

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Surprise
at the "teeth" of the League of Ma
tions constitution, as reported In
Paris to the Peace Conference for
approval, was expressed on every
hand here today. Senators and Off
cials generally had begun to believe
that the plan would be more innocu-
Gus than they now believe it to be.
The points which cause the most sur
prise and interest, roughly, in the
order named, are:
1.-The compulsory arbitration fea-
ture. It had been expected that lee
way would be left which might per-
nit a private war" between two ma
tions if those two nations considered
their differences unjustifable.
2-The strength of the measures
to be taken against any nation re-
fusing to abide by the arbitration
either of the appointed arbitrators OF
the Executive Council.
3-The limitation of ornaments. 1t
has not been expected that the Brit
ish delegates would agree to any pro-
posal which might limit their sea
power. There is loophole here in
the words "having special regard to
the geographical situation and cir
cumstances of each state"
1.-The method of government of
the League, whereby the five major
powers in the alliance against Ger
many shall dominate the League
through majority of votes in the
Executive Council, while all other
members together select only four
nations to represent them. This dis
poses of the hitherto unanswered
question as to how representation is
to be determined, with its perplexins
problem of how the small nations can
be represented. These ideas, how
ever, while quite generally felt, so far
as diligent inquiry could determine,
did not bubble to the surface without
diligent searching.

GREAT NAVY WORK
His Great Grandfather Lived to be
104- and Inventor May do
Same

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-On the eve
of his seventy-second birthday,
Thomas A. Edison was the guest at
luncheon given in the Robert Treat
Hotel in Newark by the men with
whom he was associated in inventing
and experimenting 35 years ago. At
ter renewing old acquaintance he
left with Mrs. Edison and their son,
Theodore, fo, six weeks vacation
on his plantation at Fort Myer, Fla,
his first vacation since America en-
tered the war.
The Edison Pioneers, embracing
men who are now prominent in sci
ence and manufacturing, arranged
the reception to Mr.. Edison as re-
union and birthday testimonial. Some
Of those present had not seen him in
80 years. AS the members filed up
to shake hands with their old asso-
ciate, one remarked that the inventor
"was getting old.'
Getting old?" Edison replied. "I
should say not. Looke
He extended his arm, touched his
hand with his foot, and then whirled
on one foot, while his friends cheer
ed.
T. COmmerford Martin, Executive
Secretary of the National Electric
Light Association, showed the inven-
tor a souvenir he had kept since IS. :.
It was a frame containing a photn-
graph of Edison and his first photo
graph. Mr.. Martin also exhibited the
data on an experiment began in 1870
and never completed. One of the ex-
hibits was q sheet of paper with the
inscription Thomas A. Edison, Aug.
80, 1870" written on it in raised
characters. An explanation above the
name said: written with an ink that
raises the paper and intended for use
of the blind" Mr.. Edison said he
did not finish the experiment because
he was too busy with other things"
Each of the fifty guests handed Mr..
Edison an envelope. Knowing Mr..
Edison's aversion to public speaking
because he cannot hear perfectly, the
committee wrote the members to
bring messages to give to the inven.
tor. A letter of congratulations was
received by Mr.. Edison from the New
York Electrical Society which ex-
pressed the wish that "he may live
to be as old as his great-grandfather..'
Mr.. Edison said that his great grand
father lived to 104.
