League in Disfavor
The league Of nations was dis cussed
by the social and economic section of
the association. Eight papers rsad at
the symposium all were unfavors bic to
the league established by the Treaty Of
Versailles.
DR.. David Jayne Hill, of Washington,
diplomat, historian, former ASS istant
Secretary of State and former Ambas-
sador to Germany, held that the pres
ent treaty with Germany could sIQt be
considered as the ultimate solution of
the problem Of perpetual peace. His
paper, which was read by the secretary
in the absence of DR.. Hill. said in part:
an the treaty of Versailles, the en-
phasis is not laid on the princiz les of
Jurisprudence as the basis of ir.terna-
tional relationship, but on the enforce
ment of peace by military power. The
atmosphere in which the league of ma
tons was created made it the fix st pur-
pose of its being to punish con-
quered enemy The league, therefore,
was bound to have a military character.
A peace that has 20 be enforced by arms
is not true peace. but only tenn
porary appearance of peace.
"Whatever may be its merits, the
powers for the international control Of
Others rather than q society of free
nations for the establishment of peace
through Justice"
DR.. Henry A. Wise Wood, OF New
York. inventor and author, and for
merly active in the National Security
League in his papeN, which also was
ready by the secretary, denounced the
idea that permanent peace could be
achieved
War Not Pre'sentable
"Some people believe that warfare
is preventable but these must admit
that never in the history of the world
have men been able to achieve more
than an armed truce" BE said.
"If our statutes are powerless to
prevent broken faith and violence
among men, how, then, are the less
peace to prevent broken faith and vio-
lence among nations?
What folly, therefore, to erect any
international structure upon the
hypothesis that complete overthrow
Of the combative nature of man can be
| brought about by a company of men
however wise, and ware fare be by them
brought to an end for all time"
Professor William H. Hobbs, of the
lie; que of nations never should have
been attempted. He quoted from
President Wilson. Major General
Leonard Wood and Theodore Roose-
welt to emphasize his belief that the
attempt was folly.
Professor Charles NJ. Bakewcll, pro-
fessor of philosophy at Yale Unver-
sity, quoted historical precedents to
! show that the league established un-
der the Paris pact failed to go further
than TO reproduce ideas formulated by
/ Napoleon and Alexander | of Russia.

have told in previous advertisements
n how Sheffield Farms pioneered
and fostered pasteurization. l want to
tell you how my company led the way
in the production of clean milk on the
farm
In 1901 the County Medical Society
sent out an appeal to the milk dealers
of New York City asking for co-opera-
ton in the production of special grade
of milk Tor infant feeding.
This was before pasteurization was
thoroughly understood and there was a
real need for high grade milk
A meeting of the dealers was held at
the Academy of Medicine and the situa-
ton presented. I alone, of those present,
agreed to try to meet the doctors re-
quirements.
The start was made at Dover Plains,
New York. began there with six COWS.
The COWS were tuberculin tested, the
barn was made scrupulously clean, the
milkers we're properly dressed for the
work, and the utensils were handled with
the new understanding of the Importance
of cleanliness
The milk was bottled and sealed at
the farm in fact, an entirely new set of
methods was applied to the process of
production.
At regular intervals a representative
OF the Medical Society inspected the
barn at Dover Plains. Frequent analyses
of the milk were made
The aim was to produce a better milk.
Mutual cooperation was the keynote,
and there at Dover Plains, free from DO
litical interference, with six cows as
start, began the development Of great
movement. Today CERTIFIED MILK
is known all over the world. Millions of
quarts are produced in this country, and
millions of dollars have been invested in
its development.

Horton Says:
Goes Started the Clean MIX Movement

You may say that this is of little in
terest to the average consumer, that
Certified Milk is a luxury, and it costs
too much to be of popular value.
| know that this belief exists in the
minds Of many thinking people. But
they fail to take into account the most
important result of the whole certified
milk movement
This result is to be found in the innu-
ence that certified milk methods have
had on production the country over.
Before this time there had been no
standards worthy of the name for milk
handling on the farm.
of standards.
Clean Milk was an indefinite term
that meant one thing ct one farm and
something else at another.
AS the Dover Plains farm grew it be-
came centre of interest among the milk
producers of that section. What was re-
garded in the beginning as fad came TO
be accepted as Standard
The idea spread Certified farms
sprang into existence in various parts of
the country, and wherever one appeared
it exerted tremendous influence for the
production of clean milk throughout
that territory for miles around
1t would be difficult for one not
familiar with the milk industry to visu-
alize the sweeping sanitary changes that
have occurred since l began with my
six COWS.
These changes constitute genuine
revolution in milk production methods
that has reached around the world.

TO DECIDE WHAT
TO DO WITH BOOKS
Conference Will Discuss Distribution
of 10000 Volumes Returned
From Camps.
Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-Public lib
rarians, at a three days conference
beginning in Chicago tomorrow, will
discuss among other things the prob
lem of distributing approximately L.
zoe, ,00O, 900 books, which have been
returned from overseas and from alb
andoned camps - hospitals and have
lheea stored hsr& che American Lib
rary Association since the part1a1
closing of its war work.
The problem Of tapping" this huge
reservoir of philosophy, knowledge,
romance and adventure, has been sim
plified somewhat by the fact that the
War and Navy Departments, in re-
sponse to their call, will receive about
100000 of the volumes for use in the
army and navy libraries recently tax
en- over from the A. L. A. Several
hundred thousand more will be used
by the Association in continuing lib
rary service to American troops alb
road and in the insular possessions,
as well as to vessels Of the American
merchant marine hospitals of the U
S. Public Health Service, coast guards
light houses and light ships.
The conference, it is announced
here, will be the first special meeting
Of the American Library Association
since it's founding in 1876. It was
called by the president, Chalmers
Hadley, librarian of the Denver Pub.
lie Library, to give the Librarians ar
opportunity to take action on the var
ious features of a tentative peace
time program adopted by the Asso
ciation's executive board.
Recent statistics, it is said, have
shown that despite the fact that there
are nearly 5000 public libraries il
the United States, fully 55 per cen
of the population is without the bene
fit of library service and, in som'
states, the figures show, the proper
ton is less than five per cent Th'
conference will endeavor to correc
this condition in measure by prope
distribution Of the salvaged army an
navy books. Each state, it is planned
will receive a certain quantity 0
books based upon the number of it
ex-service men.

CARDIFF, WALES, Dec. 31-Tw6
divergent~creeds, from the opposite

hav. j,st been published, are attract
ing considerable comment. Henry
Radcliffe, one Of the Cardiff million
aires, said:
"God has placed coal in this island
for our use, and we are out to get it.
Is there any harm in getting mar
ket price for an article, even if it 5
pounds per TONI"
This viewpoint has been strongly
challenged by the miners leaders.
Vernon Harsthorn, Labor member of
Parliament counters with the follow
ing:
Against this creed of Radcliffe's l
put the creed of the miners, which is
this, God has placed coal in this is
land for the benefit of the nation, and
we are out to get if for the good of

| HUMPHREYS EXPLAINS BILL.
Congressman Humphreys explained
that bill introduced by him to pro-

ZOO valley is now pending in Con-
gress. He said it was his opinion
that Congress will not make any sub
stantial contribution toward reclama-
ton or. the draining of the Yazoo val
ley, but he expressed the belief that
the government engineers report and
recommendations would meet with
more general approval from all Sec
tions affected than would the same
Recommendations if made by private
engineers.
Should such survey be made thu
