as number Of conditions are attached
The board held practically an all day

Bond Market Unstable.
The bond market just now is In
very unstable condition and the board
Of course, is DESTROYS Of selling this Is
sue at the very best possible figure
In the event that the present proposed
sale is consumated, it is likely that the
new school buildings in Webster City
will be erected during the coming year
This, however, even in the event of a
sale of the bonds, would depend very
largely on building conditions.
The members of the school board
have given much time, thought and ef'
fort toward making a sale Of the school
bonds voted last spring. The public
appreciates this for the city is anxious
as soon as building conditions become
little more stable, to have the new cen
trail and north side buildings erected
Con, stiOn in the schools this year Is
fully as bad as last year and patrons
generally will be glad to see the new
buildings constructed at the very earli
est possible time.

VACCINATE HERDS

For the past two weeks there have
been no new outbreaks of hog cholera
in Hamilton county. Farmers through
out the county have taken every pre-
caution to prevent the spread OF the
disease and their efforts seem to have
met with success, according to County
Agent Christensen.
The methods used by the farmers OF
Dallas county at the time of the hog
cholera outbreak in 1913 have been
generally employed here. Sick hogs
have been segregated from the rest
of the herd under rooted enclosures
thus preventing the spread Of the dis
ease germs. The herds from which the
afflicted hogs have been taken have
been vaccinated by veterinarian and
closely watched for any further infec'
ton.
The worst infection in the county has
been around Liberty Center. Other bad
ly diseased areas are around Homer
and in Marion township.

Non-Suit in $4,000
Damage Case, Belfast

Belfast, Me-, Jan. S.-The $4,000 dam
age suit brought in the Waldo county
supreme court against DR.. E. A. Will
son, prominent surgeon of Belfast, by
Fred 0. J. Horne, veteran of tho
Spanish-American War, came to a sud-
den end this afternoon when the de-
PENDANT attorney made a motion for
non-suit on the grounds that the plain
tiff had not made out a case, and the
motion was granted by Judge George NJ.
Hanson of Calais, the presiding justice.
No exceptions were taken by the plain
tiff's attorney. The case. which was
the most important Of the January
term, was opened at 10 A. NJ. and had
reached the defense at P. NJ, when
the motion for non-suit was made. The
plaintiff claimed that in February, 1915,
he was operated upon for appendicitis
by the defendant, and that. after a Pc
riod of two years and four months he
was seized with another attack of ap-
pendicitis and he claimed that the first
operation had been improperly done.
Several local physicians were called on
both sides and the case has attracted
wide attention. A similar suit was
brought a year ago for 5000 for the
same alleged malpractice. but at that
time a non-suit was entered owing to
the absence Of one of the principal wit
neSSes.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The full text Of the Presidents
message follows:
TT is with keenest regret that !
find that I am to be deprived of the
pleasure and privilege of joining you
and the other loyal Democrats who
are to assemble tonight to celebrate
Jackson day and renew their vows
of fidelity to the great principles o.
our party, the principles which must
now fulfill the hopes not only of our
own people but Of the world.
1.-THE United States enjoyed the
spiritual leadership of the world I'M
til the Senate of the United States
failed to ratify the treaty by which
the belligerent nations sought to ef-
feet the settlement for which they
fought throughout the war. 1t is in
conceivable, that this submarine cri.
sis and financial crisis in the inter-
national relations Of the whole world.
when the results of the great war are
by no means determined and still are
questionable and dependent upon
events which no man can foresee o..
count upon, the United States should
withdraw from the concert Of pro-
gressive and enlightened nations by
which Germany was defeated and all
similar governments (if the world be

Washington, Jan. 8.-President
Wilson in his message to the
jackson day diners here tonight
said, 1.-THE clear and single way"
to determine the will of the Am.
eriean people on the League Of
Nations was to make it an issue
at the next election"
The Presidents message said
nothing about third term for
himself and neither did it, say
even by implication or intimation
that he would not be a candidate
as has been widely forecast.
Most all Of the Presidents mes
sage was devoted to an express
sion of his argument of why he
considered it the duty OF the
United States to join the League
Of Nations covenant and why he
considered the war not really won
until il did. Another attempt to
crush the new nations Of Europe
would be made, the President
said, if the United States held
aloof.
The President again explained
his attitude toward reservations,
much as he did at the conference
with the Senate foreign relations
committee, in this language:
"If the Senate wishes to say
what the undoubted meaning Of
the treaty is ! shall have no OBJ
lection.
"There can be no reasonable
objection to interpretations &C.
companying the act Of ratifiea-
ton itself. But when the treaty
ic acted upon must know
whether It means that we have
ratified or rejected it. We can
not re-write this treaty. We
must take It without changes
which alter its meaning or leave
it and then, after the rest OF the
world has signed It, we must face
the unthinkabIe task Of making
another and separate kind OF
treaty with Germany"

Split Apparent

The disagreement between the
of state, the first in public view
since Mr.. Bryan left the cabinet, be-
cause he did not agree with the Pres
ident's course in the diplomatic ne
gotiation with Germany. was thus
disclosed as fact although it has
been rumored and reported in the
underground currents of national pol
itics. In the opinion Of the political
leaders it has crystalized an issue.
President Wilson, in his message.
said nothing whatever about a third
term for himself and neither did he
make any formal announcement of
intended retirement to private life as
some had forecasted he would. Mr..
Bryan in his prepared address said
nothing bearing on any ambitions to-
ward a fourth Presidential n0mina.
ton, but before reading his manu-
script he said he had nothing to ask
and that, therefore, the diners would
not listen to him with the thought
that they were listening to candi-
date.
There were dozen or more speak
ers at the dinner and their views on
whether the league should be made
a campaign issue were either divid-
ed in favor of the Presidents or
Bryan's or else they did not touch
on the subject at all. The gist Of
their speeches might easily be ep-
itomized in this fashion:
Senator Pomerene: Ratify the
treaty with or without reservations.
Former Secretary McAdoo: An ar
rogant denunciation of Republican
but no reference to
the league.
Secretary Daniels: Bryan is entit-
led to credit for the league of nations
treaty because his peace investiga-
ton conventions were the ground
work for 1t.
Senator Hitchcock: Honorable
