Senator Norris of Nebraska took a
whack at the president in a speech in
the senate, bitterly attacking the ex-
penditures of the peace delegation. He
said Mr.. Wilson spent money in Paris
like a drunken sailor" called attention
to the payment Of $150,000 to Bernard
Baruch as special adviser, and added:
Besides engaging an expensive re-
tinue of 1900 people as advisers whose
advice he did not take, the president
had a glass roof put over the George
Washington and took musicians from
the Hotel Biltmore in New York to
play for him while he was going over
to Europe"

The Roumanians, at last reports, had
not yet withdrawn their troops from
Hungary and their actions and Ian
tguage continue to be defiant of the al
lies. They claim to be acting as a bar
grer to the waves of bolshevism that
threaten to flow over Hungary from
the east. The Serbians, it is reported,
are growing very bitter against Rou-
mania and are talking war and NOV
ing up their artillery to the frontier.
An interesting story comes from
Vienna of the arrest in Prague of the
leaders in a monarchist plot that is be-
lieved to include Austria and Hungary
and with which the Archduke Joseph
party is said to be allied. 1t is rumored
the intention was to put former EN-
peror Charles back on the throne.

President Wilson, moving steadily
toward the Pacific coast, is striking
telling blows in behalf of the treaty
and is meeting with enthusiastic re-
ceptions everywhere. His admirers,
however, cannot fail to regret that he
is descending to rather undignitied
abuse of those who oppose his poll
cies, and that he resorts to specious
argument in appealing to special in
terests, as when he told the farmers OF
North Dakota that if the treaty were
not ratified Europe would not buy their
wheat.
Mr.. Wilson's harsh words against
his opponents called forth instant re-
Spouse from Senator Kenyon in the
senate and from Senator's Rnrah r-Johaa
son and Mccormick, who opened the
speaking tour of the reservationists in
Chicago The president had called the
senators who demand reservations in

Kenyon heatedly declared the most

the world were those who assembled
with high ideals at the Paris confer
ence and permitted Japan to take over
Shantung."
Johnson also took this as his text
and to the noisy delight of a huge
Chicago audience undertook to show
that it was President Wilson who was
the gutter, in that he had gone across
the sea with high ideals of open cove
nants, freedom of the seas, removal of
economic barriers, reduction of arma-
ments and self-determination for all
peoples, and had come home with just
what was handed to him.

Mr.. Duncan McCaskill started
on his return home last Saturday
after spending about two weeks
with his father, Mr.. Nelson Nc.
Caskill. Mr.. Duncan is one of
the leading lawyers of San An
tonic, Texas, having been there
about twenty years. He and his
son, Nelson Jr., made the trip
through the country in his auto.
His son decided to spend the
balance of the year in North
Carolina visiting relatives.
Mrs. Walter Thompson died
with pelagra last week. Mr..
Thompson has only been living
here a few months. The funer-
al was held and interment made
at Love Joy church, Montgomery
county.
The work on the State High
School building is progressing
pretty well, but not as well as
expected owing to the scarcity of
brick layers.
Mr.. H. c. Nance has the brick
on the aground for his new hard
ware and auto building.
A short time ago our town
was undergoing a building cpl
demic; now it is undergoing a
building epidemic and a house
famine too, there not being a
vacant residence in town and a
good many are having to buy
their house or move out of town.
There have been eleven different
residences changed hands here
in the past four or six weeks
and there will be other transfers
in the near future.

COULDN'T SLEEP
GOOD NIGHTS,
SHE SAID
So Nervous, Wead and Rundown,
Couldn't Regain Strength.

81 was so weak and rundown
and in such a nervous condition
l could hardly get to the drug
store for medicine. / suffered
from constipation and headaches
too and just couldn't sleep good
nights. l knew l needed a pow
erful tonic of some kind but
what | should get was hard for
me to guess until l read of the
wonderful relief others were get
ting by using Earle's Hypo-Cod.
I couldn't walk more than a
block without getting short of
breath and becoming all tired
out" continued Mrs. Arnecie AL
exander, the well-known music
teacher whose address is given
below.
Like Many Others.
Like many others, Mrs. Alex
ander needed a good tonic and
she found it in Earle's Hypo-
Cod. Continuing her statement
she said "Hypo-Cod proved to be
exactly what l needed. The best
tonic l ever used. 1t has given
me strength and energy and my
nerves are quiet and calm now.
l don't have the jerking and
twitching of the muscles when l
sleep and my sleep seems to do
me such a world of good once
more. 1t stopped my constipa-
ton troubles and headaches and
certainly puts the vim and en-
ergy into ones system. l can
see a huge difference in my ap-
petite, too.
"I'm glad to endorse Earle's
Hypo-Cod because it really does
do all that you claim" continued
Mrs. Arnecie Alexander, Music
Teacher, COS Z. Second St.,

WHITE POPULATION
INCREASES IN D. c.

While the white population Of
Washington is increasing, the num-
Der of colored people is steadily de-
creasing. according to the report just
published by the District Department
Of Health, which places the total
population OF the city at All, 4O5.
The death rate per annum for this
year is 81 among whites, and 20.4
among negroes. making an average
OF 40 for the entire population. The
figures for last years death rate are
l2.S for the whites and 294 for the
negroes. While mortality this year
is not as great as ii was last year,
figures show that the death rate still
continues higher among the negro
population.
The figures given out on the num-
her Of births last week seem to up
hold the same theory. They show
that eighty-foUr white babies were
born to thirty-six negro infants.
Ninety-SiX deaths were report ed in
the District during the past week. OF
which ffty-ive were white and forty
one cOlOred. The population of the
city is placed at 312,SO6 whites and
lOf.599 negroes.
The principal causes OF death dur
ing the week were: tuberculosis, 10;
malignant growths. II: disease Of the
heart. II; apOpIexy, 10; nephritis.
4; anterior sclerOsis, 4, and pneu-
monia, 3. There were two homicides
and two suicides.

SENATE INSISTS
ON HALF-AND-HALF

With the fate Of the "half-and- haIf'
hanging in the balance. the House and
Senate conferees on the District APP
propriations bill met again today in d
final effort to iron out their differ
ences.
Senator King Of Utah finally per-
mitted the Senate to adopt the confer
ence report just before adjournment
yesterday, with a result that the re-
port was sent back to conference with
the sharp rejoinder to the Senate con-
ferees to insist upon the adoption of
the "half-and-half" plan and other
Senate amendments.
The outlook today appeared very
gloomy for the "half-and-half," con-
sidering all things. House conferees
are standing pat in their determine
ton to abolish the present fiscal rela-
tions, and the situation appears on
the surface TO be in a hopeless dead
lock.
