STATES ARTICLE il COVERS HIS
 IRISH OPINIONS

Continued from Page One.)
 The Presidents statement was in reply to a series of questions sent to him by the San Francisco labor coun- ell. It is understood that within & few days he will reply similarly to the questions put by other labor bod ies regarding Shantung and the rep resentation of the British dominions in the league assembly. Replying di- rectly to a question as to his atti- tude toward elf-determination for Ireland. MT. Wilson said his position was expressed in Article II of the covenant, under which it is declared that any member nation can call the attention of the league to any cir cumstance whatever affecting inter national relations which threatens to disturb international peace Tor the good understanding between na- uons upon which peace depends
 The Presidents statement detail- ing the labor councils questions and his answers follow:
 1---Under the covenant does the na- tion Coligate itself to assist any mem ber of the league in putting down a rebellion of its subjects or conquered peoples2
 Answer: It does not.
 2---Under the covenant can this na- tiOn independently recognize a gov ernment whose people seek to achieve or have achieved their independence from a member of the league?
 Answer: The independent action of the government of the United States in a matter of this kind is in no way limited or affected by the covenant of the League of Nations.
 2---Under the covenant are those subject nations or peoples only that are mentioned in the peace treaty en- titled to the right of self-determina- ton or does the league possess the right to accord a similar privilege 70 other subject nations or peoples?
 Answer: It was not possible for the peace conference to act with re- gard to the self-determination of any territories except those which had belonged to the defeated empires, but in the covenant in the League of Ma tions it has set up for the first time in Article II forum to which all claims of self-determination which are likely to disturb the peace of the world or the gooI understanding between nations upon which the peace of the world depends can be brought.
 4-Why was the case of Ireland not heard at the peace conference? and what is your position on the sub ject of self-determination for Ire land?
 Answer: The case of Ireland was not heard at the peace conference because the peace conference had no Jurisdiction over any question of that sort, which did not affect territories which belonged to the defeated cm- pires. My position on the subject of self-determination for Ireland is ex- pressed in Article II of the covenant in which I may say I was particu- larly interested, because it seemed to be necessary for the peace and free

 "Of course the average bricklaye1 has a fine scorn for the plight of the less fortunate" Will the Editor please state who is the less fortunate
 I would now ask the man who wrote Why Waste Tine,'' to display some of his superior intelligence by stating what will be the bricklayer's S average per hour on a forty-four hour basis the year round if he gets the talked of $1.25 per hour.

HUB TEAM WALLOPED HARD

The River Falls high school eleven
had a snap at Ellsworth last Friday,
winning from the County Seat outfit
SO to 0. Although heavy in the line
and fast in the backfeld, the Hub
team vas woefully lacking in exper-
fence, and the Falls boys worked any
thing and everything on the offense,
and allowed the home team to work
absolutely nothing against their de-
Tense.
The River Falls backfield men were
all in from carrying the ball on long
runs. There is good material on the
Ellsworth squad, and, with this game
to make them realize that they have
a whole lot to learn, they should de-
velop into a formidable organization
before the season is over.
Capt. PARIS men play at Hastings
Saturday.
The New Richmond team, which was
defeated here in the first game of the
local season, trimmed Cumberland
high last Saturday II to 0.

To Discuss New
Phases Of Public
Health Work
Annual Meeting of Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association To Be Held
Oct. 80 and 81.

Devoting two entire days to general
sessions for the discussion of public
health problems and of Wisconsin's in
creased facilities for the organized
fight against tuberculosis and other
preventable diseases resulting from
legislation enacted within the past
year, this years annual netting of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton will doubtless be the largest in
the history of the organization. 1t
will be held in Milwaukee Thursday
and Friday, Oct. 80 and 81, the two
days of general session to be followed
on Saturday with round table confer
ences for public health nurses, sana-
forum representatives and other spec
ialized groups of workers.
Owen R. Lovejoy, of New York, rep
resenting both the National Child La
Dor Committee and the National Child
Health Organization, will be one Of
the several speakers Of national rep
utation on the convention program.
The program of the newly created
bureau of child welfare and public
health nursing in the state board of
health, the peace time program of the
American Red Cross, and the advanced
step which Wisconsin has taken in
providing for the employment ofpub-
lie health workers in every county of
the state. for the establishment Of
county tuberculosis dispensaries and
for the introduction of occupational
therapy in the county tuberculosis SAN
atoria will be among the leading top
les of discussion. Interest will also
center in the progress which is being
made in the movement which is being
made to increase the number of tuber-
culosis sanator:a in the state and to
supplement them with a chain of dis
pensaries for the diagnosis of the dis
ease and for the advice of patients
who are not in sanatoria.
For some years past the county
boards of supervisors and the mayors
of several cities have sent official rep
resentatives increasing each year with
the growing realization of the import
ance of public health problems to the
community. Health officers, public
health nurses, medical men, club wo-
men and others interested in public
health work attend in large numbers,
practically every. section of the state
being we'll represented. Owing to the
increased interest in public health
which has resulted from war revela-
tions, an unusually large attendance
at this years meeting is anticipated.
This years annual meeting will be
the first one to be held in the Health
Service building, recently purchased
by the state association as it's perma-
nent home. The building has a large
auditorium in which the general ses-
sions will be held.

On Nov. 7 the River Falls City Hos
pital will have to leave it's present
quarters on Fourth street. The build
ing there is not suitable for winter
use as a hospital, and as the lease ex-
pires on the above date it is either a
case of abandoning the project alto
gether or of getting substantial
backing for it's continuance elsewhere.
Monday evening a number of bus
mess men of the city, together with
several representative farmers from
the adjoining towns, met in the City
Hall, and all were enthusiastic in their
determination that the hospital serv-
ice should be continued.
Arrangements have been made for
lease of the Parker House and the
deal will be closed at once so that the
hospital may be continued without in
terruption.
1t is believed that the hospital will
be self-supporting, if it's benefits are
thoroughly understood and there is a
solid cooperation of the community in
it's behalf. But whether it is self-sup-
porting or not is beside the question.
The outstanding fact is that this COM
munity needs such an institution. Ev-
en- under the handicap of it's former
unsettled state, it has proved of ines
timable value.
1t has been the means of saving life,
and the cases referred to are by no
means exceptional and are liable to
repetition at any time. This fact
alone, the saving of human lives in the
community, should present sufficient
appeal to assure the maintenance of
the hospital.
Then there is the pleasant feature
of having the patient practically at
home, where, if conditions permit, the
relatives and friends can cheer him
with frequent visits and supply his
taste in books, flowers, ETC., during
convalescence. Such cheer is usually
of the greatest value to the invalid.
The thousand and one benefits to be
derived from a local hospital are too
obvious to need exploiting here, but
what this community does need is to
give the matter little thought to
bring realization of these benefits
and hearty support to the movement
which should sooner or later result in
the erection of building for this pur-
pose alone.
At present the appeal is only for
the guarantee of very small sum
for the maintenance Of the hospital in
the Parker House this winter, and it
would be a small soul indeed which
could refuse signature to the little
asked for in consideration of the ma
ture and magnitude of the benefit to
be derived.

Junior Live Stock
Breeders Live
Stock Exposition
Pierce County Will Be Well Repre-
sented At Show To Be Held In Madi-
SON Next Month.

Are you ready? If not, you had bet
ter put the final touches on your en-
tries for the Junior Live Stock Expo
sition at Madison November 3 to Z.
The time is not far off.
Wisconsin's junior live stock breed
ers are not lacking in pep. Twenty
six counties have enrolled and from
those various counties there will be
105 baby beef entries, 1852 dairy calves
229 pigs, 81 lambs and 8 colts, accord
ing to the latest figures. Competit-
ion will be keen. 1t will be chance
for Badger youths to find out how they
rank among the country's best. This
is the first Junior Live Stock Exposi-
ton in America, and bids fair to rival
anything of it's kind.
Pierce County will be well repre-
sented. Leslie G. Doe, Beldenville,
will have some fine pig and baby beef
exhibits. R. Maurice and Clyde H.
Taylor, River Falls, will be there with
an excellent showing of Milking Short
horns. L. w. Fulton, of Ellsworth,
has been doing his part as club leader
to make Pierce county top notch in
junior endeavor.
The judges have been appointed as
follows: G. C. Humphrey will look ov-
er the dairy calves; Frank Kleinheinz
will inspect the sheep; j. G. Fuller will
have the pigs; George Hutton will
judge the colts, and j. G. Imboden of
Illinois, will pass on the baby beeves.
The boy who wins prize at the live
stock pavilion at the State College Of
Agriculture will have reasons to be
proud. twill prove disappointment
to some, but it will show the boy who
does not win this time where he "fell
down" and put him on the road to sue
cess for another time.

Macalaster Wins
Open Play In Final Quarter Defeats
Normal 13 to 0.-Superior Normal
Here For First Conference Game
Tomorrow.

Severely handicapped by the abb
sence of four regulars" which ne
cessitated last-minute revision of the
lineup, the Red & White nevertheless
gave Macalaster college an even
battle up to the last few minutes of
play here Saturday.
Superior punting by the Mackmen
kept the ball in Normal territory most
of the first quarter, but they coulu
not dent the Normal line. the hon
crs in this respect were about even,
and thus the battle ragged for three
exciting quarters.
Once Macalaster had the ball on
River Falls three-yard line, but could
not put it over IN three tries at the
line. Their captain also made sever
al attempts to score by the air route,
but every kick went wild.
| Both sides had varying luck with the
| forward pass, each making great
gains, only to have one intercepted up
near the opponents goal. In this man.
ner Macalaster scored her first touch
down, about the middle of the last
quarter. This score should not have
happened but for the fact that the
referee accidentally blocked Normal
tackler as he was about to down the
Mac who had intercepted the pass,
giving the visitor a clear field to the
goal. Their second score came after
they had worked six forward passes
and brought the ball to the 5-yard line
Normal held them for three downs
but on the last rush the ball was fumb-
led and Macalaster recovered it be-
hind the goal line.
The two Morrows were the stars OF
the game, A. Morrow's work on the
offense, especially in handling forward
passes, being exceptionally brilliant.
1t was also a pair Of brothers who
starred for the visitors--the Greggs,
at quarter and right half. while their
captain, Anderson, shared the hcnors
with them.
For a time in the third quarter It
looked as though III NJ. P. detail
would have to be called out. for the
Mackmen forgot themselves and start
ed some of the old gas house gang
tactics, one of their number being DIS
honorably discharged from the game
as the result of his pugilistic endeav
ors. 1t was hard session for the Of
ficials on the field, for with head
linesman who apparently knew abso-
lutely nothing about his job, the ref
cree and umpire were handicapped by
having no sideline official to appeal to
in cases under dispute.

BACK TO THE OLD TIME

Sunday, Oct. 26th, is the date for
resuming the old time. Remember the
warnings of the jewelers. and instead
of setting your timepieces BACK ore
hour, set them AHEAD eleven hours
There will undoubtedly be consider
able conflict in time schedules after
the return to the old is made, for while
it was undoubtedly something of a
handicap to farmers, the daylight
saving" was of inestimable value in
the larger cities, and most Of them
will resume it in some manner next
Spring despite the defeat of the meas
ure nationally.
