be made with the serious intention Of
keeping the children who are on the
farm. ven more than trying to bring
back the ones who have been lured by
the call Of the city. The movement Il
said to have had its origin at Airing
ton. from where the first call for help
on the farm came.
Business men at Arlington decided
that too many children were leaving
the nearby farms before completing
high school, and going to the Twin
Cities. Arguments with the children
invariably end in failure for the
grownups so the business men OF Ar
lington decided to make their town
as. attractive rs possible.
They have established a program
for the rest of 1920 and IT. u In THU
that the University of Minnesota Is to
play a part through the extension dt-
vision Of thai school. Last week the
program was tnaugurated with q Juve-
nile. fair at which handiwork Of the
children of Arlington was exhibited
Entrants were divided into two class
es, eight years being the dividing line
The plan Of the Arlington men Is to
utilize the university's extension de-
partment this fall, and to provide the
large part Of their programs with
speakers and lectures from the state
univerSitv.

CROPS WILL GOVERN
LUMBER PRICES, SAY
ALBERTA DEALERS

Calgary, Alta, July 12.-Lumber
prices for the coming year depend up
on this seasons crop, local dealers IN
lumber declare.
If there is q crop failure, lumber
will be cheap; II an average crop, pric-
es will remain about the same; If an
unusually large yield, lumber is ex-
pected to soar in price. At the present
time there is a tendency toward q
slight weakening in prices in the cases
Of some Of the small mills.
Every indication now is that Alberta
again win produce a bumper 0 q
importers are anticipating q tremen-
dous demand for lumber. Country
yards, however, are reported to oe
carrying a small stock and 1t is ex-
pected there will be much stocking up
to do, in event no blight befails the
crops. Few buildings were erected IN
1919 and it is believed that This year
will be q record breaker in history OF
building in Alberta
In the more prosperous districts OF
the city, considerable building ts go
ing on at the present time though
most of it Is residence construction.
The reason for this is because OF the
high rents and not for speculative pur-
poses.
Reports indicate that the demand
for lumber in the United States has
fallen off and the mills Of British Co
lumbia, it is believed, will have to
look largely to the prafries to dispose
Of their output this year. None OF the
mills is running to capacity but a
large stock Of lumber is on hand.

REPRISAL FIRES
Whole Rows of Buildings In Sew

Residences Burned
DAMAGE 100000
Flames Follow Shooting From Ambush
Of a Military Party-Destruction
Held Costliest Since ReprIsals
Began In ireland.

Dub1dn-Several large sections OF
Cork were devastated by fire Saturday
night and Sunday. The conflagraticn
followed an ambush of the military at
Pillons Cross, in which four persons
we're killed and many wounded. Three
civilians were taken from their houses
and shot dead after the ambush of the
military. Then the fires started. There
we're bomb explosions and firing also
was heard
The populace is panic stricken.
/ On the south bank of the River Lee
the Carnegie library, the Corn Ex-
change and other buildings were RACED
by the fire, while in the territory be-
tween the northern and southern
branches of the river much havoc was
wrought by flames in the business Sec
ton.
1t was reported that the fire was un-
der control, but it was said that the
damage done by the flames was es-
timated at between 100000 and
10000 pounds sterling.
Several blocks of buildings in the
heart of the business district of Cork
were destroyed during the night, con-
shutting the costliest destruction of
property since the reprisals began in
Ireland.
A group of public buildings on Al
bert Quay, including the city hall, the
Carnegie library and portion of the
Corn Exchange also were burned, as

parts of the city.
The fires extended to St. Patrick
street from Cook street to Maylor
street and swept entire rows of build
ings on both sides of Winthrop street,
leading from St. Patrick's street to
Old Georges street.
Cadets March Through. Streets.
It was reported from Cork that new
~ arrived parties of auxiliary cadets
marched through the streets holding
up and searching. pedestrians and firing
into the air, following the ambush of
auxiliaries within half a mile of the
barracks, IL Of them being wounded by
bomb thrown from a lorry.
Between 2 and O'Clock a period of
intense quiet fell on the city, but near
9 o'clock uniformed men began to dis
play great activity in various parts IT
Cork. At some points train cars were
held up and passengers taken out. It
was reported that a number were
beaten and others placed against the
wall and closely questioned, but were
finally allowed to proceed.
It is not improbable that lives have
been lost in the fires. Already several
persons connected with the destroyed
houses and business premises are re-
ported missing.

LEAGUE FAV0RS"
ARMAMENT LIMIT
Geneva Assembly Takes First
Steps for Limiting Arms
of Members.
7 NATIONS VOTE NO"
France, Brazil, Chilli, Greece, Poland,
Rumania, Uruguay Cast Negative
Ballot Against Limitation
Clause.

Geneva-The assembly of the
League of Nations went on record as
favoring the limitation of ornaments
by the powers for the next two years
by agreement among them.
The limitations clause of the dis
armament committees report was
adopted after it had been modified so
as to take the form of a recommended
ton.
France, Brazil, Chile, Greece, Po-
land, Rumania and Uruguay voted
against the clause. -.
The first step for disarmament Of
the nations must be cautious and de-
liberate, the assembly decided. not
withstanding sharp criticisms by
George Nicoll Barnes, the British Ia
Dor leader, and Christian LANCE OF
Norway. Mr.. Barnes said there was
''too much bubble and not enough
pluck" in the decisions to go slowly.
Yelled Blow at U. s.
The policy of the United States on
yelled illusions, invoked as one rea.
son why general disarmament cannot
be boldly grappled with at this time.
Mr.. Barnes said. H. A. l.. Fisher of
the British delegation referred to ma
tons with powerful arms and NUM-
tions making facilities that still are
outside the League" The absence
from the League of former enemy
countries also was referred to by Mr..
Fisher. This brought from Mr. Barnes
the retort: "They now are practically
disarmed and cannot constitute
menace for years to come"
A curious manifestation of the ses-
sion was the general applause Of the
delegates for the pleas made by
Messrs. Barnes and Lange for an i'm
mediate minimum effort, while at the
same time accepting the conclusions
of the disarmament committee. These
are, briefly, an effort to prevent the
future increase of ornaments and
propaganda in favor of decrease as
steady means of bringing about
eventual, but remote general disarma-
ment.
Belgium Won't Spike Guns"
France and Belgium accepted the
committees conclusions on limitations
Of armament expenditures during the
next two years on the basis Of ap-
preparations for last year. They added,
however, that they could not consider
the restoration of ornaments de-
stroyed during the war as increased
expenditure, but pointed out that meas
ures were being taken to reduce the
period Of military service M. Poulle
of Belgium said: Belgium has re-
ceived no reparations. She cannot
spike her guns while the League of
Nations still is in the process Of for.
mation"
