why FRANCE WOULD FIGHT FOR POLAND.

France, according to the Associa-
ted Press dispatches, is urging Po-
land to go beyond her boundaries
and finish the job as well az may be
before the armistice to sign peace
terms with Russia.
France Is not to be bitten by the
same dog twice. Poland is necessary
to her own peace and protection as
a line fence between Germany and
Russia and she wants that fence
horse high and bull strong. France
lies in the path Of aggression by the
red MANAGE or conquest by q COM
hined Russian and German effort.
She would have Poland strongly in
trenched there, y nation and
people to be reckoned with. So she
urges Poland to go on intp Russia
and hold the most powerfully stra-
tegic position her armies can secure
be In position to demand And re-
quire proper advantage for herself
and indirectly for France.
France has. like other allied ma
tons, awakened to the truth that
had Germany been invaded and the
crushing process continued the
world would have been safer by the
thorough cowing OF q people who
have. not yet it seems aroused from
the nightmare Of world conquest.
While ornaments exist (and at
terward) nations viii find self pro-
lection necessary. France Isl seek
Ing her own safety, providing as
furnished officers and aid to strug-
Cling Poland and assisted to dam
the flood of bolshevik menace that
would sweep over the world.
1t is simply another illustration
of the axiom that God helps him
who helps himself.

TRADITION AND A BUGGY"

A newspaper picture of Secretary
Meredith enroute to his office shows
him in what we out here in Iowa
used to call buggy" drawn by two
horses. 1t is. explained that Washing
ton tradition" is being adhered to
by Mr.. Meredith and other cabinet of
ticers who ride in those Anticipated
vehicles furnished by the government.
Mr.. Meredith it appears has three of
those arks for the use OF himself ana
his family.
Now Ed wouldn't think Of sashay-
ing about his well beloved and loving
Iowa in an old carryall like that. He'd
get ont one of his big cars and go
hell whoopin' over good road in
dry spell or drag slowly along with
chains and perhaps profanity If
thered been half hour of rain.t 1t
is unIowan for an Iowan to be hauled
about the streets or country roads OF
Iowa IN an ancient Wreck Ike tlltaI
buggy and, a span of horses that
look as tho sfx miles an hour were
beyond them. Why Bill W-hathisname
drives into town from his place IS
miles away in twenty minutes and
Jim Soandso takes, every hill in the
county on high. Talk about tradition.
From six to twelve cylinders and
step on her is tradition and practice
in Iowa. It's shame for an Iowan to
be obliged to gaze on an Iowa secre-
tary of agriculture being snailed
along the streets Of our pational
capital in a surrey Ike ttt which
his hired man wouldn't haul potatoes
in. Darn tradition when it gets in the
way of progress.
Maybe it goes in Washington, lots

themselves against coyotes?
s. How do ants recognize members
OF their own colony?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
l. DO any male birds sit on the
eggs?
With our phalarope and a few
Australian birds, the position OF the
two sexes Ia reversed, the females
having the ornaments and bright COL
ors and doing the counting, while the
male does the incubatins, In n few
cases also the female is much the
more masculine, noisy, and pugna-
cious.
2. Do horses commit suicide2
When was in Alaska I snwNpro-
cipices down which hundreds OF
horses had dashed themselves in
their mad and desperate efforts to
escape from the toll and suffering
they underwent on the White Pass
trail. Suicide 1t certainly was in eff
feet. but of course not in intention.
These animals were maddened by
their hardships, and blindly plunged
down the rocks.
