had done one little good turn,

is fond Of charlotte russo. This
was the only dish left and he was
Just about to nab 1t. Then he heard
q lsdy behind him say, Charlotte
russo" Perhaps he would have
done the chivalrous thing anyway,
but the little white knot on his coat
lapel served az . strong reminder.
That day he had pie for desert.

One Kiwanian ssid that he would
wipe the dishes every evening for
his wife-f he only had . wife.

THE POLISH TRGuRLE.

While there seems to be something upon which to base the report that Pre- Elier Lloyd George of Great Britain has received word to the effect that the so- Niet government Of Russia is ready to accent the armistice proposition of the allies. it is to be realized that so far it is only a rumoI. and there remains to be shown that it is based upon fact,
 The soviet government has been en- 1eavoring to make peace with Poland sven as it did with other of the border states For a time there was Q possibii- ity that an agreement would be reached put Poland didn't believe that the (bol- zheviki were sincere although it put forth terms which were such as might be expected only from a victor.
 Were the boIsheviki on the run at the present time it is not probable that an such proposition regarding an armistic would have been put forth by the allies But with them pressing the Poles hard and knowing that they have been dis posed to bring about an end to the fight ing there was reason to believe that there might be a disposition to accept the plan with a view to ending the con fiet
 The Poles on the other hand while re- alizing the seriousness of their position are prepared to make all possible sacri- flee to drive back the en,6ay. They ara not fsvorably impressed with the idea ot withdrawing Fithin their natural boun. diaries after having been far beyond, bu realizing that the help of the allies car be expected only under such condition: there seems to be nothing else for then 10 do
 The campaign which the Poles have been making is one which did not bea1 the entire sanction of the allies. There fore they limit their support to the pre- lection of Poland after it's forces ar, back on Polish territory, and at thu same time it is realized that the easies way out of the situation is going to b. through the establishment of peace which it is hoped such retirement as i proposed will foster.

ONLY ITSELF TO BLAME.

While Germany maintains that it will not be able to comply with the demands of the allies in regard to coal deliveries it does not appear to be inclined to at tempt compliance. It recognizes that it is powerless to resist whatever steps the allies decide to take because of the Te- fusal, but it apparently considers lightly the action of the allies in reducing the monthly tonnage.
 In spite of the recognized obligations under the treaty and regardless of the fact that it has resented the determina- ton of the allies on one previous occa- sion at least to make it toe the mark rel stive to treaty provisions. Germany by Sefusing to undertake the delivery of such an amount of coal ar the allies de- nand as part of the rsf N tions simply Invites the allies to steD iii and do what k claims it cannot de itself. In other words Germany indicates a willingness 10 have the allies go into Germany again and direct certain operations which it should be too proud to admit that it can not do itself, or that it is unwilling to try to do. Certainly it would present a much different disposition if it buckled down to it's task, demonstrated that it vas going the limit in it's efforts and could show as the result of such activi- ties that it was actually unable to do so. To maintain that ii cannot without try ing doesn't help it's position. The exhi- bition of it's inability after an honest ef- fort would carry conviction.
 What the outcome will be of the sum- uoning of the military heads to Spa is bound to be eagerly awaited. That the allies can move forward their forces for occupation and take charge of the en- iorcement of the treaty provisions is not to be questioned. It is a step, however that Germany should be most anxious to avoid for it's own welfare but in view of the part that it has played in bringing on the conditions and the attitude ii takes concerning the keeping of the promises it must appreciate the fact that 1t has no one to blame but itself fo1 whatever course the allies decide must be followed

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By U. s. Public Health Service.

Feeding a baby on the bottle is diff cult thing to de successfully. If it is aot done properly the baby will get sick, and may lose it's fife.
 AS a baby grows older and gets heavier he requires additional food. Nature provides these changes in mothers milk without anyone having to worry about 1t. But when the baby is fed on bottle. these changes must be made every fe" weeks For that reason, feeding 8 eaey on bottle needs to be under the super vision of a physician. Babies who are fed on a bottle, too, are more liable to
 have indigestion and diarrhea, so that
 the bottle-fed baby usually needs to De seen frequently by the dector
 The baby will need to be milk fed a' least until it is year old so it saves time and money to obtain the proper equipment in the beginning. Select good quality white granite-ware for the uten- sils for preparing bahy's milk, and never use them for any other purpose. Iney must be kept always scrupulously ciean' and scalded and each time before using.
 The following are essential:
 Equipment: One large pan with in' yerted pie pan in the bottom for pas teufizing. ..u One two-quart granite saucepan with handle, or pitcher, one tablespoon, one i pint measure, seven bottles corks aho nipples for each bottle, one wire racR l for holding bottles, one bottle brush one 1 fruit jar for lime water or pariey water

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.

In connection with his refusal tc, call special session of the legislature of Yer mont for the purpose of taking action on the ratification of the suffrage amend ment to the federal constitution, Gov ernor Clement claims that the eonstitu- tion of this country threatens the free popular government, and bases his claim upon the supreme court decision which upholds the provisions of the constitu- tion.
 This decision has to do with the ques- tion of ratification in Ohio of the 18th amendment in which it was held that it is the provisions of the federal consti- tuition which govern its amendment rath- CT than provisions of a state constitution lso that inasnuch as the constitution of the United States does not require a ref erendum it is not required when a state is acting upon a change in the national constitution, whatever may be the case when state action is being taken This Governor Clement thinks threatens free popular government. That such a view of, the federal constitution was not taken before is probably due to the fact that the conditions existing today regarding the 18th amendment haven't arisen be- fore.
 By the requirement that quarters of the states through their legislatures shall ratify an amendment to make it effective uniform action is called for in the different states. All states proceed in the same mannr If that is going to
 be changed it is manifestly proper that
 it should be changed for all and not for
 a few. If it is desired that there be a referendum upon such matter then there should be constitutional amend
 ment that viii permit it The recent su- preme court decision was only what could have been expected in view of what is provided for in the consti .utlon In Vermont it is not question of the referendum. It $ expected that tho ac- 1 ton there will Se by ;he iegI sls ture but
 that state constitution requires Q legisla | ture chosen after an amendment has submitted to act upon it Whether thi:
 is covered by the Ohio decision may ye

THE EXTENDED AGREEMENT.

There expired this week the agreement that has been in existence between Great Britain and Japan for the past 15 years. In anticipation of such a termination representatives of the two governments have been busy with the result that an- nouncsment has been made to the league of nations that the agreement has been extended for period of one year.
 T is apparent that the short term for 1ne extension is for the purpose of se- curing time in which to give the matter ef perpetuating the agreement further 7tudy. to weigh more carefully perhaps the opposition that has arisen to it and tc consider possibly whether it ought to give way to the league of nations.
 Japan has gained much advantage from the treaty for years. That it de- sired it's continuance can hardly be uues- tioned although it is recognized that there were good arguments put forth by the British colonies against it. The ex- tension therefore is to be regarded sim ply as an arrangement for covering the period until final decision is reached and in which decision the representa- tives of the dominiens will be given a chance to participate.
 The notification is, however given in accord with the league requirements that there may be no secret alliances Under this agreement which was made with the idea of guarding against Ger man expansion each government pledged itself to assist the other, with the under standing. however, that there should be nothing therein which would make pos -r-I- the drawing of Great Britain into

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sabbath and Sunday.

Mr. Editor: There are two fatal errors in Miss Isabelle Darling,s article of We'd nesday, July If, 1920 The first is that the hypothesis of her argument is nil That is, she makes the Sabbath and Sum- day synonymous terms in her first par agraph and on that base she constructs her thesis. This is worse than sandy foundation and the whole structure must fall when the Tightening flash of truth in the last storm of Gods wrath soon strikes conviction and death to error.
 Because the Sabbath and Sunday are not identical The Sabbath of the Lords Day is the 7th day of the week which begins at Friday sundown and ends Sat- urday at sundown. Her second egregious error is her. advocacy of religio-political principles contrary to true Americanism and the foundation tenets of our national constitution which reads
 Amendment Araticle 1 Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion-or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
 Miss Darling writes, q think we should have some law to preserve the sanctity of the day"
 Sunday laws are organically religious laws. There is always that appeal in them. The appeal of the prohibition of liquor and other regulations for reform deals essentially with. mans duty to his feiiowman which rightly comes with in the province of civil jurisdiction but in Sunday laws the element of dessra- ton of mans relation to his maker is invoked which places such laws within the province of religion. The state has no right to make religious laws, We are fast marking back to the blue laws of Connecticut which history has prov ed to be barbarie. Let any one who be- lieVes in progreSs liberty and right not sanction Sunday legislation. 'Tis true we are becoming a nation of Sabbath breakers" as Miss Darling writes, and in my challenger's own words I should say "it is time Christians gave | this dissertation of the Sabbath serious and prayerful consideration but should urge my oppostionist and them te | find out quickly that Sunday Is not the Sabbath.
