OUR HAMPERING THE ALLIES.


Failure OF the United states TO fuhI its inter-
national obligations by ratification of the Paris
treaty and taking it's proper place in the League
Of Nations is every day proving more and
the indispeusability OF the League as treaty en-
forcing power. with the allies standing shoulder
shoulder in returning peace as they stood in
concluding the Dispatches that tell of the
preme council concluding to let Germany try
her guilty, the trouble along the Ad-
riatic, and the inability to impress Holland with
her obligation to surrender the x-kaiser. are in
cidents particularly I'm point.

dents. rather than the enforcement Of POSTWAR
agreements; TO human appeal rather than the adj
ministration Of justice. Their note 10 Holland re-
plying to her refusal 20 surrender Wilhelm is a
sample is we'll calculated TO strike the con-
science Of the Holanders. and to revive in them

pected that the heart and conscience of the Dutch

That great naturalist, John Bur
 roughs has written an article in which
 he says that the queen bee is the
 mother and not the ruler of the hive
 The workers manage their own affairs
 and create the queen by giving her
 suitable food and plenty of room in
 which to grow. The power and au-
 thority," he says. "are entirely vested
 in the great mass, the workers. They
 furnish all the brains and foresight Of the colony and administer it's affairs
 Their word is law and both king and queen must obey. They regulate the swarning and give the signal for the
 swarm to issue from the hive. They select and make ready the tree in the woods and conduct the queen to it. The peculiar office and sacredness of the queen consists in the fact that she is the mother of the swarm and the
 bees love and cherish her as a mother and not as a sovereign. She is the sole i female bee in the hive and the swarm
 clings to her because she is their life | Deprived of their queen, and of all the 1 brood from which to rear one, the swarm loses all heart and soon dies.

TOWN MEETING TO
 BE HELD SATURDAY

The committee in charge of the Town Meeting scheduled for o'clock next Saturday afternoon at the high school auditorium, met yesterday and decided upon the talks for that occa- sion, but did nothing concerning changing the time of the meeting, which had been suggested at the last Town Meeting because of the fact that many of the farmers of the valley are unable to come to town on Saturday afternoons. This question will be de- cided early next week.
 The addresses at the next meeting will be one on farming from the bank CTS standpoint, by a member of the Bankers association: another on mar keting, and a third on practical farm policy for the Salt River valley. This last subject will be the main topic of discussion Of the meeting.
