PROTECTS LIQUOR MEN
Federal Amendment Docs No, RenesJ State Statutes, Julgc Wilde R,rIcs in FftzSimmons' Case

New Haven. June 25.-Romas F1tZsimmons. who was secretaw of the State Liquor Dealers association is held by Judge F. L. Wilder of Bridgeport to have been, not guilty of selling intoxicating liquors in ais saloon, for which he was arrestei. because he had an application for I, renewal of n license pending.
 The court finds that the application Tor license was made under tho statutes: the federal amendment does not repeal those statutes, and the Vol. stead act makes no provision for re- peal.
 Prosecution of saloon keepers who have applied for renewal Of state .li- censes comes under the federal law and not under the state law. Saloon Keepers who allowed their licenses to lapse, however, are not protected by the state law.

HOOVER URGES C. 0. P. TO RATIFY
 TREATY, ELIMINATING ARTICLE X.
Passage Would Strengthen Republicans Chances, He Thinks-Says Talk of New Pact is Bunk.

New York. June 25.-Speedy ratifi- cation of the treaty Of Versailles after the elimination of Article x. of the League Of Nations covenant was urged by Herbert C. Hoover in a statement published today in the New on which the republican party should stand in the coming presidential eicc- ton.
 DcpIorcs Thrcat of Force.
 He took the stand that the implied threat of employment of military force to guarantee the integritX of foreign states was out of plad Tn a league which he declared vas the product of the liberal ideals of the world" The leagues power. he de- clared. would be more potent if the threat of military fierce were removed and the league relied wholly on its moral and economic power"
 Tt appears to me 10 be time to raise the question" he said, "as to whether this same cause-I refer to the guarantees and the use of mili- tary force-that has brought about the dissension in the United States is not also undermining the league in Europe. I put it to the friends of the league in all countries. Has not experience and discussion shown that the time has arrived to reconsider this part or the league foundGt tion ."
 The basic need for such ''mili- tary alliance" as he sees in the league covenant with Article x. intact. Mir Hoover pointed out, was 70 control states which persist in armament which renders them capable of ag- gressive action"
 While he expressed the belief that economic measures eventually would prevail even against such states, he declared the first and foremost duty of the league" was reduction of all armaments, and he suggested that America's continuance as league member be conditioned on the achievement Of a reduction within a specified time.
 New Treaty Talk Is Bunk"
 He declared that sooner or later the United States must ratify tho treaty of Versailles in some form ard that talk Of negotiations a new treaty was -bunk''
 Cannot the republican party" lie asked. strengthen it's own position by adopting the definite constructive policy of ratification subject to the minor reservations and a wider vision of strengthening the league by eN- cludinr the guarantees and thoir nili- tary enforcement-and making mem- bership in the league conditional upon disarmament within a given period Such policies will protect American independence. free ps from every pos sible entangiement except the use of our moral and economic strength 10 enforce peace. Ii will leave our democratic friends fencing upon the ground Of advocacy of practical military alliance-upon which their safety devices only further endanger the real value of the league

Your county agent was very much

scissors around il and here IL is
for every farmer 10 read and think
over:
Tobacco prices keep on reaching
new heights and breaking old re-
cords. The farmer who raised a
good crop of good tobacco last year
certainly made money, whatever
may have been the lot of the farmer
who grew grain or fed live stock.
But, because this is true, let us
not lose our sense Of proportion or
forget the fundamentals OF good
farming. The demand for tobacco
is likely TO remain good for a year
or two; but a large increase in the
supply is TO be looked for. Many
farmers who have been growing to-
bacco are planning TO increase their
acreage, and the crop is being

In the above Cne ear Of corn is es-

For practical purposes this may be
considered correct.
When corn is fed on the ear 10
hogs. the proper amount OF tank
age should be fed in a slop or mixed
with the kitchen waste.
About four per cent of the live
weight of hog in grain feed per
day is considered a full feed. That

two pounds Of corn and tankage
combination per day, a hundred
