I'm effecting the minimum of

being gradually built up. and will soon
be the finest herd in the parish.
On Friday last. August 9th, the fif-

press from the government farms in
Wisconsin.
W. A. Dougberty, local representa-

fall. The calves are everyone regis

Situation In Poland Leading
to More Information Trouble

The Situation as regards the Polish
trouble is very unique. There can be
little doubt that the reactionary Pol
ish government has prepared for the
war on Russia because they dislike the
Soviet government. Now that Russia
is walking away with the fight. Pol
and is calling upon France and the al
lies to help her.
Says Lord Robert Cecil, chairman Of
the executive committee Of the League
of Nations Union in England: ''As far
as can judge, the Soviet Government
has made repeated and genuine offers
of peace to Poland. which have been
set aside on seemingly flimsy pretexts.
The result must be either Polish sue
cess which will lead to reprisals later
on, or Polish failure which will pro-
cure disruption of Poland and its con-
quest by Russia.
The Polish stand has been strenuous
ly objected to by the people of Eng
land and France. Any armed inter-
vention b yeither country is out of the
question, as it would be extremely un-
popular. Lloyd Georges latest offer
of munitions to Poland and the renew
al of the blockade will probably mean
his downfall in English politics. Al
ready the entire labor organizations
have denounced his attitude, and
threaten to refuse to handle any mum
itions in any way. The German people
through their government have refus-
ed France permission to cross German
territory to help Poland. A Socialist
paper in Germany says: IF they sue

The big boiler is nearly ready for OPP

ed up with the steam pipe, and it will
not be long now before the big brick

Saturday last, the big smoke stack

the work with the least amount of risk
and the stack went up without hitch.
The stack itself is 68 feet long and
is set up about 10 feet from the ground
The top of the stack is nearly so feet
high.
Much piping work was necessary. A
tank had to be taken down and erected
at the boiler and connected up. Little
more work remains to be done.

BRICK KILN is RED HOT FURNACE

When the brick kiln was fired last
Monday night, there was a pile of saw
ed wood ready to burn that looked ike
it would last a month, but it was only
matter of day or two when Marcus
DeVine was looking for more.
Early firing Of the kiln is not hot
one. The fire is small, but after few
days the fire begins to get hotter; and
it was then that the wood pile began
to disappear. A crew was put on the
wood saw Saturday, and with two
teams hauling. nice stack of wood
was cut. The surprise came Sunday
morning when a report came that the
wood was nearly all gone and would
not last two hours.
Volunteer crews were made up. and
the saw was kept busy most of the day.
Enough wood was cut to last day or
so, and the situation was thus relieved.
Firing of the kiln ceased Wednes-
day at noon, and in few days the
kiln will have cooled off sufficiently
to be taken down.
F. D. Waters and Marcus DeVir
took II hour shifts attending to the
fires.

ceed in conveying munitions to the
Russo-Polish theater Of war, Germany
will eventually become a battle-ground.
Thus it would seem that in order to
crush the Russian Soviet government,
the reactionary governments Of Eng
land and France have walked over the
peace treaty obligations in an attempt
to bolster up the reactonary Polish
government. One sure outcome of the
situation will be that both Poland and
Russia will lose what little they have
gained in a two-year period of recon-
struction, and will go deeper into the
hole Of debt and death. Every other
nation which dabbles in the fire will
surely burn her fingers.
Poland viii become a Soviet govern-
ment through internal trouble, if Rus
sia does not get there first,
England and France are only has
tening the day Of reckoning when the
people will want to know why they
are in this thing.
Poland has clearly asked for the
trouble. She must take her medicine.
She is a signatory of the League Of
Nations and has not lived up to the
spirit of the league. Russia did not
sign the League, but has made repeat
ed offers of peace. !
