United States, or any other nation for that matter, express their willingness to accept a mandate Is not for the league assembly or council to decide and has absolutely no bearing on the treaty itself. For the sen- ate to say that such mandates shall not be accepted, if offered, except by the express permission of the congress concerns AnVri- Cd alone, and could have been made 'thD rule without inserting it in the treaty
 It now seems probable that the trca' will have to go back to Paris before it can become effective The adoption of SO many reservations, some of them ill reality amendments, and all of them being in- cIudcd in the body of the treaty indicates that such action will be imperative. If it rcopcus the whole discussion. it may yet be months before any decisive action can be had
 There Is also room for question as to how the cmascuIatcd treaty will be rccciv- ed by our allies. 1t is not altogether inn possible that Europe may decide to go it alone i'll the league of nations propositton i'll its original form. Premier Clemenceau, Ill one of the last speeches he made in the French chamber of deputies declared that the league could live without America. And ill ease of refusal by the allied powers to recognize the senate reservations, they are ill position to declare that the treaty with Germany is effective insofar as it concerns Germany and those who have already rati- fled 1t.
 To do so would force America to ne gotlatc separate peace with Germany And beyond all doubt many of the oppos- ton senators realize such a possibility as being within range In fact, Senators Knox, Johnson, of California, and Borah, have been courageous enough to condemn the present treaty as wholly bad and stand out for separate peace. The adoption of so many useless reservations indicates that they are working hard to achieve their end without the necessity of having to directly vote to kill it.

PIONEERS HAVE GREAT MEETING
 AT EAGLE HALL
OLDTIMERS ADD TO MEMBER SHIP; SOCIAL SESSION PROVES TO BE WINNER; FIRST MEET ING OF WINTER IS UP TO STANDARD.

Last night was a big night for the Pioneers. The local igloo ushered in the winter season, this being the first meeting on it's schedule, with the usual vim and pep.
 There was a big attendance pres. ont for the meeting. John H. Kelly, J. L. Tobin and Peter M. Mires were reinstated to membership and Louch- CT Mclean, l, NJ. Thompson and Jchn Sundin were elected as new members.
 The business session being com plcted, and lunch having been dis posed of. the social session was en- liyened by athletic sports and music George Nj Landerking entertained the members with selections on his phonograph, with the sound ampli- ficI which was as good as whole brass band and was greatly enjoyed. Then some of the young blood gave wrestling exhibitions Roden Davis and Russell Bellerby were the first to appear on the mat. In this match young Davis was declared winner. He next took on Walter Courtney. Fol lowing this bout, Frank Walker and Dick Callahan spared three spirited rounds without a decision being giv- en.
 In addition to the photograph, Frank Young, Jr., Roy Lund and Wm. F. O'Connor rendered a number of musical selections, Mir O'Connor playing the accordion accompanied by whistling was especially pleasing. Altogether it was a very pleasant evening the oldtimers spent togeth- er. At the next meeting a new en- tertainment committee will have charge and a good time may be ex- peCted.
 For real good coffee go to the U. s, Grill.

THE NATIONS UNREST
(Mining Congress JournaD

Much IS being said concerning the gen eral unrest among the people of this na- tion and of the world The war has created new conditions which require readjust- ment, and whether this adjustment is to be made upon the levels of the pre-war period is the question which cannot be answered or determined by any theoretical discussion. Whether prices are high or low is not important. It is important that the prices of all things shall be upon equal levels.
 The Wage-earner who earns four dol lars day and is able to support his family with three dollars, leaving him one dollar of profit, is as well off as the man who earns ten dollars a day, whose living re quires the expenditure of nine In fact, he IS better off because the surplus dollar is worth more than is the surplus dollar in the high-price market.
 Price levels depend upon two consider atiOns: First, whether the amount of pro ductiOn is little more or a little less than the demand; second, upon the amount of money available for it's purchase. The first relates to the willingness of the worlds workers to make full production, and the second depends upon the amount of money available for use.
 The circulating medium of any coun- try with international interests must be based upon the amount of its metallic cur |rency. To secure normal conditions, the business requirements for the use of money, the amount of money in circula- tiOn and the amount of gold, which is the basis of security for that medium, should bear as nearly as possible stable relation to each other.
 At this time the amount of gold use} in jewelry and for manufacturing purposes IS rapidly increasing, the production of ! gold is rapidly decreasing, and the cur rency which is based upon the gold reserve is rapidly increasing.
 Upon the other hand, the amount of goods being used by the public is greater i than ever before, while the industrial forces of the nation and of the world are curtail- ing production. This is the real reason fo, world unrest. The only solution of the problem is increased production.
 And it has just about got so in this country that when a woman is dressed comfortably she thinks she's not fit to be seen.

IT ACCOMPLIsHEs NOTHING

In its passage Saturday of the rcserVa- tion relating to the Monroe Doctrine the senate accomplished nothing that had not been done before and equally as well by the covenant itself In fact the passage of number of the reservations seems to point to a determination on the part of the op- position to clmber the treaty with enough dead wood to kill it.
 Article 21. Part l of the treaty reads:
 "Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of intema- tional engagements, such as treaties of ar bitration or regional mderstmdings like the Monroe Doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace" That Is the ar ticle to which the reservation mentioned applies It is a simple acknowledgment, for the first time officially by those for eign powers signing the treaty, that the Monroe Doctrine is valid and that "noth- ing' shall affect that validity. Only an un- reasonable man could desire more.
 But the senate by its vote is not satis- fled with it. The reservation it adopted reads:
 "The United States declines to submit for arbitration or inquiry by the assembly or the council of the league of nations pro- vided for in said tlaety of peace any ques- tions which in the judgment of the United States depend upon or relate to its long established policy, commonly known as the Monroe Doctrine; said doctrine is to be in terpreted by the United States alone, and is hereby declared to be wholly outside the jurisdiction of the said league of nations and entirely unaffected by any provision contained in the said treaty of peace with Germany"
 The reservation neither adds to nor takes away from the provision of the treaty regarding the Monroe Doctrine. It is just stuck in there like boil on thumb, to cause as much irritation as possible.
 The reservation to Article p, Part I, of the treaty, is equally superfluous. The manner of assignment of mandates as set forth in the first paragraph of the said ar ticle is as follows:
 "To those colonies and territories Wnlcn as cOnSoQ QuencG OI Iu6 late war have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the states which formerly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world there should be applied the principle that the well being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilization and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this covenant.
 "The best method of giving practical effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples should be entrusted to ad- vanced nations, who by reason of their re sources, their experience or the geograph- ical position can best undertake this re sponsibility, and who are WILLING tC accept it, and that this tutelage should be exercised by them as mandatories on behalf of the league"
 Beyond offering mandates to member states of the league, the council has nc power in that connection Further, the covenant specifically states that only those nations whose peoples are willing to accept the responsibility will be chosen to act as mandatory powers. How the people of the

Road Elections.

In this issue of the Journal Po-
lice Juryman Yves Pitre takes the
occasion to call the attention of
Fthe property taxpayers Of his
Ward Ward 81 to the election
on Tuesday, July LIST, for three
mill tax for dirt roads and bridges
and setting forth some of the
reasons why the tax should carry.
The proposition referred to is
being voted upon simultaneously
in each Ward in the parish and
the taxpayers of the other Wards
are cited therefore to Mr.. Pitre'S
note of warning, as it really bears
the same application to all of the
Wards in the parish.
The proposition is the same in
all of the Wards, with the excep-
ton Of Ward 5, in which a two
mill proposition applies instead
of the three mills asked in the
other Wards.
On the result of this election
rests the fate of the dirt roads of
the parish. This is not an addi-
tionaI levy, a similar special tax
for dirt roads and bridges in all
of the Wards having expired with
1918, and unless the tax is voted
there will be no appropriation for
dirt roads whatever.

How Our Navy Has Grown

Henry C. Wiltbank in The
Rudder, a maratime publication,
calls attention to the remarkable
rise of the United States in tom
mage holdings. From ninth place
before thewar, this country has
jumped into second position, our
tonnage increasing from 1, 076,
900 to 4, 476, 900 tons. Of the
worlds trade fleet we hold eleven
per. cent.
According to the same author
ity, Germany fell back only one
position in her standing in world
trade. AT the time ofthe armistice
she was in position to become
la menace to all other commercial
nations as she was third until the
armistice stripped her of her mar
atime strength.
Mr.. Wiltbank also declares
that 7, 900 allied and neutral ships
were destroyed during the war by
u--boats and mines the greater
part being sent down by mines.
The United States suffered the
greatest loss in proportion to her
tonnage, our loss being about two
thirds of our pre- war tonnage.

Pigs Have Personality.

j. B. Baugh recently purchased
from E. E. Kimball a pair of reg
'istred Duroc Jersey pigs, Big Ben
and Madam Cakes, paying there
for the sum of $4,000. This in
|cident brings TO light an interest
ing feature of the swine industry.
Despite the fact that these pigs
are registered thoroughbreds and
from very good strain, their pur-
chase was effected at a cost very
slightly in advance of their actual
pork in the barrel value. On the
other hand the seller received a
handsome profit on his invest
ment. because the pigs made a
rapid growth on a minimum of
feed.
The point we are striving to IL
lustrate is that the breeder of
good stock not only makes a prof
Lit for himself, but he strts an end
less chain of profit making in
which the whole community
shares the benefits.
Before long Mr.. Baugh will in
all probability have number OF
thoroughbred pigs to sell at a
reasonable price, and yet with a
handsome profit to himself, and
so on, whereas the producer Of
the razor-back variety neither
makes a profit, nor does the pur.
chaser thereof.

avoid the distress to all interests
that follow the blocking of
this flow of grain.
"The permit system as operat-
ed last year contemplated the clos
est cooperation between the Rail
road Administration and the
United States Food AdminiStra-
tion-Grain Corporation. The To-
cal representatives of the Grain
Corporation were in daily contact
with the Grain Control Commit
tees at each market, and in view
of the very comprehensive data
and information in their posses
sion as to storage facilities, an
ticipated movements out of mar
kets, the needs of the different
sections of the country, not only
as to wheat but as to other cereals
that flow co-incidentally with
wheat, etc, were of invaluable
aid in the accomplishment of the
permit system with a minimum
economic disturbance. The same
character of assistance is being
arranged for from the Grain Cor
pOration, or Wheat Director, in
anticipation that it will be neces-
Sary to reinaugurate the permit
plan within the next one or two
months.
"'The Wheat Director is as vital
ly interested as the Railroad Adj
ministration that the grain ton
mage shall be handled with the
least possible friction as between
all interests concerned, and is in
entire harmony with the Railroad
Administration as to the plans
proposed in that direction.
ut is the intention to keep the
public fully informed of the plans
for the transportation Of the en-
ormous grain crop, and through
the cooperation of all interests
concerned it should be possible
to meet what otherwise might
prove a difficult situation"

Boy Scouts Renrganize.


A good number of the boys of
Welsh met with Rev. Bosch at the
Masonic Hall last Friday night,
when the Boy Scout troop was re-
organized.
Two previous efforts to or
ganize a permanent scout troop
have eventually petered out, but
the boys all say that this time
when it comes to being a perfect
organization they are going to
come through with flying coIors. =
Following the discussion of the
plan at the meeting Rev. Bosch
rendered his services as Scout
Master and the organization pro-
ceeded, the following officers be-
ing elected: Rev. Bosch, Scout
Master: Ercell Fuller, Senior Pa
troll leader; Lloyd Robin, leader
Eagle Patrol; Clarence CoSner, as
isistant:; Sampson Holiday, leader
Silver Fox Patrol; Bobbie Prem
