Is it any wonder that leather is
scarce and high and that beef is a
luxury that few can afford on their
table provisions ? Listen, nowi At
Richland Center / ,006 calves were TAX
en- out by one dealer on a late day, re-
curing eight freight cars to take the
innocent bossies to city slaughter
market. 1t was the largest delivery
ever made at the Chicago stock yards
by one shipper from a single point.
Viroqua had very similar shipment
on the same day as the Richland Cen
ter climax, and that's what happened
throughout the country, and still we
complain about the high cost of shoe
and beef. Continuous slaughter of
young calves is the prime cause.

The number of horses in the country
declined nearly 100000 last year.
There is a prospect of further decline
this year. Now is the time to raise
horses. The tractor and the truck and
the automobile add to the traction
power of the country, but it is still far
from supplanting the horse.

DENIES SENDING ENVOY.

Washington.-The French Govern
ment has not consulted Senator Hard
ing, either formally or informally,
through any representative, in connec.
ton with the Republican candidates
proposed new association of nations
or in any other connection. This in
formation was conveyed to the State
Department personally by Count de
Bearn, counselor of the French EN-
bassy and charge d'affaires in the alb
sence of Ambassador Jusserand.
It is known that the French charge
d'affaires expressed surprise at the
published versions of Senator Hard
ing's remarks.
No direct representations have yet
been made to the State Department by
the French Foreign Office concerning
this incident, but reply is expected to
the inquiry forwarded by this Govern
ment. In view of the prompt denial
through Count de Bearn the formal
reply when received may not be made
public, especially since the G. o. P
candidate himself has admitted that
he was spoken to by scitizen" Of
France and not by Representative
or spokesman"

Power Is Principal
Change Favored.

Paris-Stephane Lausanne, editor
OF LIE Matin, and, during the war, a
representative Of the French Govern.
ment in the United States. declares
that France will follow Americas lead
In almost any notifications of the
League of Nations Washington may
desire. But France wants the League
strengthened, he said.
II this is what Senator Harding
meant when he made his recent com
ment regarding the French attitude
toward the League, Lausanne believes
Harding spoke correctly.
Because Lausanne is regarded as
usually rejecting the Government
viewpoint, he was asked for an inter
view in view of the fact that the Hard.
ing statement has caused wide COM
ment in official and diplomatic circles
here.
France" said Lausanne, regards
Americas remittance into European
affairs as so imperative that she would
be willing to pay any price for an as
sociation or league-it is largely a
matter of phraseology-bu it would be
far from correct to infer from this
that the French desire a more loosely
formed international society. On the
contrary, the French idea of reorgan.
izing the League is to invest it with
much greater authority, material as
we'll as moral, enabling it to back up
it's findings with physical force. Much:
for example, as an ordinary court is
enabled to compel those who came be
fore it to recognize its rulings az
binding.
Americas presence in the League
is essential. Any league needs the
stabilizing influence of some great dis
interested member. OF course, any so
ciety is better than no society at all
But the French will never have con
fidence in the League as practical
international instrument until they see
actual physical power behind it,

Religion lies in the experience Of
soul and not the conditions Of en-

wholly at variance with his comfort
and interests and yet be able to say
that neither heights nor depths nor
principalities nor powers, nor things
seen, nor things unseen, shall be able
to separate him from the love Of God
which is in Christ Jesus. The conso-
lation Of the Almighty are precious to
the souls of the instructed. They can

pie and the entrance to the Rock
ford coal mine Of the Comedies
Vile Basin Coal and Coke Com
pany at Rockford, W. Va, near
here, were badly damaged by an
explosion Of dynamite shortly be-
fore midnight. Twelve men at
work in the mine succeeded in
making their escape.
Soon after the explosion the
power house Of the coal company
was attacked. Many shots were
fred. The sound Of the shooting
and the explosion attracted nom
union miners employed by the
company, and they quickly as
sembled at the power house.
In the fight which followed it is
believed that one Of the men OF
the attacking party was either
killed or badly wounded, as he
was carried away by some OF his
companions when they were maj
ly driven off.
It also was reported that an ex-
plosion occurred at the Richard
mine of the Penn Mary Coal Com
pany, one mile away, but details
were not obtainable here.
Four months ago strike OF
coal miners was called in this
field. Since that time nonunion
men have been employed in .
number of the mines, but there
have been no disturbances until
tonight. Last winter Federal
agents were busy in this field
searching for radicals and some
men were arrested and deported.
