BIG CELEBRATION
3Ooth Anniversary of the Landing of
the Pilgrims

the Pilgrims
At the Chamber OF Commerce
luncheon Tuesday noon, Mr.. H. D.
Shaffer who has been appointed by
Gov. Allen to arrange for a proper
celebration in Hays of the third cen
tennial anniversary of the Landing of
the Pilgrims, December 21st, explain
ed the nature of the celebration of the
day, which is to be nationally OBJ
served. He said that three events
were to be celebrated, the Landing of
the Pilgrim fathers on Plymouth
Rock, December 21, 1920; the signing
OF the compact on the May9ower just
previous to the landing which was the
basis for freedom in government, and
the assembly of the first represent
ative congress at jamestown, Va.
Mr.. Shaffer explained that there
was two-fold object in holding this
celebration, to counteract the Boil
shevik propaganda of the Reds and
Anarchists, and to familiarize the
younger generation with the struggles
and trials and sacrifices of the Col
onial Fathers right down the three
hundred years to the present time
and the blood and treasurer that this
nation of ours cost. He said that if
we were familiar with the cost, we
would have our hearts filed with pa
triotism and love of country to the
extent that there would be no room
for Bolshevism and other pernicious
doctrines.
Mr.. Shaffer urged that this be a
general celebration and suggested
that committee be named and ap-
pointed from every organization in
town, the Chamber of Commerce, the
the Knights of Columbus,
the various church organizations
every organization in town be repre-
sented on this committee in order that
the celebration may proceed on a
platform broad enough, liberal enough
to include every person, for whatever
our religion or politics, we are all
patriots and we all have the love of
country in our hearts.
Following Mr.. Shaffer's presenta-
ton of the matter, a motion was made
and carried that a committee be ap-
pointed from the Chamber of Com
n1erce to confer with similar commit
tees from other organizations and
with Mr.. Shaffer in order to arrange
for a celebration beftting the oeca-
sion.

Feb. 2..-4An alrplare will be of little service in at tempting to reach the south pole, in the opinion of Dr Griffith Taylor of tho Austrian meteorological hureau who was formerly an anta rctic explor- CT Dr. Taylor said he believed that the expedition to the south pole to bc conducted next summer by Dr. J. L. Cope would find 1t difficult to reach tho south pole by the air route. H. said:
 Hurricanes blow for weeks i'll the antarctic and can spring up in half an hour from nothing to GO miles al hour. I do not think it possible that an airplane can rise above q blizzaru. It can not stay up indefinitely and it can not descend.
 Dr. Taylor is skeptical to the mineral wealth of the antarctic, for which Dr. CUpes expedition is special lH to explore. Speaking from his own experience, he does not think there is anything of economic value on the coast of the antarctic continent; and. although coal is to be found inland, the extent of the deposits lie says. Is uncertain and it is impro bablc on ac- count of the remoteness that it can De mined within the next 50 years.

OLIVE POISONING CURE
Serum Prepared by Veterinary Scicn- tists From Goat Blood is Used and Saves One Life.

Washington, Feb. 21,--It was serum prepared by veterinary scientists of the bureau of animal industry for experiments purposes in Urea ting forage poisoning of horses that saved the life of Lena Delbanc. after the other six members of her family had died from eating poisonous olives in New York recently, according to the department of agriculture. The serum was male from the blood of g. sheep that had been inlnunized against bacillus botulinua poisoning.
 In Investigating forage poisoning of horra6 the bureau of animal industry made extensive experiments with serum6 and discovered there were two strains of bacillus hOtullnus. They look alike and the poiGons they create zation against one does not afford i'm nlunization against the other. The two strains are commonly known by the coIernm ellt investigators as the olive strain and the cheese strai . Three instances of olive poisoning, one i'll Michigan, one i'll Ohio and the third in Montana, were all caused by the olive strain.' The veterinarians, therefore, were reasonably certain that the serum atfording protection against the poison generated by the alive strain would be effective ill the New York cases, and it proved to be i'll the one case where 1t could be given a fair trial.

OUTSTANDING FACTS
 IN WILSON'S NOTES
Thinks Plume Plan Would Breed
 Another War.

Here arc the putSt ndiras feature of the correSpondenrC between Pres idcnt Wilson and the allied premie . over thc new agreement concernin Fiunle drawn up January Ii by. tn Entente statesmen without consultin tho United States and submitted : President Wilson for his approval:
 Tn his note of January 19 EnoVledging the receipt of the proposed new agreement, Presi- dent Wilson asked whether it was ''the intention Of the British and French goTernm ents in the future to dispose of the various queS- tion1 pending III Europe and to communicate the results to the Government of the United States"
 Tn their reply of January g the allied preniers disclain cd such intention, declaring every important point of the joint memorandum of December 9 remained untouched and that only two features had undergone alterations, and both of these to tho advantage of Jugo -SlaI7ia.
 President Wilson replied to thlS February 10, declaring he could not accept the statement that the original memorandum had been left untouched, and the fact that Italy had rejected the proposal of December and had accepted that of January If was proof that Italy would receive livery positive adyantagc'; that the agreement of January If
  trol of Fumes foreign affairs; that the new agreement "parti- tions the Albanian people among three different allied powers" while the original agreement pre- served its unity Fin largo meas ure''; that the American govern ment feels that it cannot sacri- fee tho principles for which it entered the war to Gratify the improper ambitions of ono of its associates, or to purchase q tenn porary appearance of calm in the Adriatic at the price of q future world contlaSration.'
 The note concludes by stating that if tho maximum concessions made in the mem oFandum of December 3 could not Dc accept cd, tho president desires to say that he must take under serious considerati ton the withdrawal of the treaty with Germany and the agreement between tho United States and France which arc now before the senate
 The allied premicrs replied, February IT. that there was mo foundation for. tue assunlption'' that the new settlement involves a capitulation to tho Italian point of view as opposed to the Jugo-Slavs. The proposal of December g has fallen to the ground, because nobody now wants to set up the artificial State of Fiume."
 President Wilson, in his note Of February -24, deslared that he "feels that in the present eircum- T> stances he has no choice but to maintain tho position he has taken all along.'
