Recipient Of Old Honor.

Prince Ferdinand Radziwill, who re-
Gently presided at the opening Of the
new Polish parliament, is q distant
relative of the Hohenzollerns and one
Of the pillars Of the old Polish nobility.
The honor accorded Prince Radziwill
was declared to be absolutely without
political Significance, but entirely q
matter of custom. The prince came
into the temporary presidency by rea-
son Of seniority only. He is eighty
five years old and is the oldest member
on the floor of parliament. By virtue
of a similar custom the youngest two
members of the house, a socialist and q
Catholic priest, neither Of them more
than twenty-five years old. acted as
vice presidents and sat to left and right
of the old nobleman all through the
first session, assisting him in the carry
ing on of his duties.

Ships and Their Names.

Peace has brought with it the incl
dental discussion in section Of the
English press of the meaning of and
reason for the names Of certain ships
in the British navy. Truly my lords
of the admiralty, acting as sponsors,
have gone to some strange sources for
the nomenclature. Not merely coun-
tries and cities have been drawn upon.
but many of the creatures figuring in
a menagerie have been freely utilized.
Then there are the vessels named
after the public schools and institu-
tons Of England, such as Uppingham,
Tonbridge, Westminster, Rugby, Chel-
tenham, Epson and so on. If Elton
should feel jealous over the matter Of
its neglect it can take kind Of re-
flected comfort in the fact that there
is q DESTROYER called Windsor.

the federal authorities have kept test

1--WE, the undersigned breeders of
Guernsey cattle, have co-operated with
the state and federal government for
a number Of years for the eradication
of tuberculosis in our herds. We do
heartily agree it has been of great
value in cleaning and keeping clean
our herds of tuberculosis. We believe
every breeder of pure-bred cattle
should cooperate with their state and
federal authorities in trying to stamp
out this disease. If they will do this
tuberculosis will soon be a thing Of
the past" CHARLES e. Writ, William

ITO the breeder of pedigreed cattle
the inspection by governmental au-
thority Of his herd is of untold value.
Not only in dollars, enabling him to re-
main free of tuberculosis, or If his cat
tie are found infected to dispose of
those reacting to tuberculin, and. there
by saving the lives and conserving the
value Of those not affected. The salts

Of lncalculable Value.
The value to the state in the pro-
lection of the whole cattle industry
and the advantage to the individual
breeder is Of incalculable value. In a
short time the benefits to be derived
from the accredited herd plan will be
so plain that all breeders of pure-bred
cattle especially will be forced, in or
der to sell their cattle to advantage,
to become members of the accredited
herd system" -R. ]. Goode, Jr., Ala

Confidence is the chief value Of
tuberculin testing. First, self-confi-
dence that comes from knowing your
herd is free from tuberculosis and the
satisfaction that comes from this con-
dition; second, the confidence the buy

lie is willing to pay for this confidence.

getting our neighboring breeders to
have their herds tested, 50 that we
might have clean bill of health in

instrumental in securing over fifty APP

to the best of our knowledge every one
Is satisfied with the results and has
full faith in it's application. The only
regret that have is that there is not

Butler Public Schools VIII Open
Monday, September I, 1910.

Classification will begin Tuesday,
August IS, 1919. The seventh and
eighth grades will be classified Tues
day morning, August 26. The Fresh
man class Tuesday afternoon, Aug.
26. The Sophomore class Wednes-
day morning, August 81, and the
Juniors and Seniors Wednesday at
terneon, Aug. 81. The Seventh and
Eighth grades and the Freshman
class will be classified at the West
school building. The Sophomore,
Juniors and Seniors will be CLASH
fled at the High School building.
! The students should not overlook
the vocational Agriculture course,
which is being put in our school for
the first time. There are only forty
schools in the state offering this
course this year. This is an oppor-
ttlnity for the boys to get thorough
course in Agriculture at home. This
work will be under the direction of
Prof. w. J. Brown, graduate of the
College of Agriculture, Columbia,
Mo-, and who for the past summer
has been teaching Agriculture in the
summer Normal at Kirksville, Mo.
The Vocational Agriculture course
consists of two years work of two
units each. Practically one-half of
the work will be supervised farm
work in Agriculture. The boys TAX
ing this course will devote some Of
their time dnring the summer to some
phase of farming in which they are
interested. For instance they might |
raise corn, wheat or if they were in
terested in live stock they might take |
up that.
During the first year, which con-
sists of two units, the students will
have one recitation daily, and one
laboratory period daily. One labor
atory per week will be devoted to
farm mechanics. The course in farm
will include mechanical
drawing, making blue prints, wood
cement work, farm carpen-
try, care and use of farm machinery,
Lighting and heating farm buildings,
water supply, sharpening tools and
simple exercises in forge work. The
recitation work and the laboratory is
as varied and practical as the farm
mechanics work. This course is open
to boys in the High School over IA
years of age. ii
This is a chance for boy in the
High School to get four year course
n Agriculture without going away
rom home. Every boy who is inter-
,sted in the farm and who intends
;aking up farming as an occupation
should by all means take this course. .
This course, is without doubt the d.
most far reaching and practical of
my course that has been added to
our public school system within re-
:ent years.

WILSON ASKS HASTE IN
RATIFYING TREATY
Tells Senate Foreign Relations Com.
mittee at White House Confer
ence That Delay Perils
United States
Industries.

Washington, August Io.-At con
ference between the President ane
the members of the Senate foreign
relations committee held today in thu
historic blue room at the White
House, the President again urged the
senate to Immediately ratify the Yer
sailles treaty.
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, sub.
,nitted 20 questions in writing, and
the president agreed to answer them
in the same way. The questions and
answers will be. made public. Tho
president expressed the belief that
the Japanese would have refused to
sign the treaty without the Shantung
provision.
In a lengthy statement which he
read as soon as the hearings with the
senate's foreign relations as his
guests began in the Blue room of the
White House, the president DECLARED
the present unrest throughout the
country cannot be ended until peace
is an actuality.
The president threw bomb she'll
-inte-the- eemmittee- before he finished
his statement when he declared that
there could be no objection to in
Expectations accompanying the ratiti-
cation of the treaty so long as such
interpretations do not form part OF
the formal ratification itself.
His objection to making such i'll
terpretations a part of the formal
resolution of ratification was that
"long delay would be the inevitable
consequence as all of the govern
ments concerned would have to &C
cept, in effect, the language OF the
senate as the language OF the treaty
before ratification would be conf
plete."
treaty, the president said, would
cloud the entire document
The president declared that when
three powers ratify the treaty it will
BECOME effective, and pointed out
that unless the United States acts
promptly it will be forced to leave
the markets OF central Europe to its
trade rivals.
The president told the committee
that, in his opinion, the Monroe doc
trine is completely safeguarded by
the League OF Nations covenant. ne
declared that when he conferred with
the senate and house foreign affairs
committee last March in the White
House suggestions were made that
the rights of the United States were
not fully safeguarded. AS a result.
he said, when he returned to Paris,
he made suggestions along the lines
proposed, which resulted in the in
sertion of articles 10 and IL and the
specific elimination of the Monroe
doctrine from the jurisdiction OF the
League of Mathis.
Il respectfully submit that there is
nothing vague or doubtful in the
wording of these provisions" said
the president, thus taking direct is
sue with the opinion of the majority
members of the committee. He said
that so far as all of the objections to
article 10 are concerned, they do not
read that article in connection with
the entire treaty. He pointed out
that unless the United States is a
party to any policy in question her
affirmative vote is necessary before
any action can be taken or advice
given. The obligation under this ar
ticle, the president said, is moral,
not a legal obligation.
