Lodge Calls Presidents Letter

SAYS FIUME VIEW IS WRONG
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
international News Service.


What he termed an unfair and
unfortunate reflection on France" in
the Presidents latest letter to Sem
ator Hitchcock on the treaty was
severely criticised in the Senate this
afternoon by Senator Lodge, the Re-
publican leader.
Lodge also declared the Presidents
attitude in the Adriatic dispute to
be wrong and said Italy was entitled
to possession of Fiume if only as a
strategic base to protect her from
future invasion.
Reflects on Allies.
Lodge declared the President had
reflected unjustly'' on the allies in
that paragraph of the Presidents let
ter in which he stated that "mtlitar'
istic ambitions and imperia,istic poll
cies are by no means dead even In
the councils OF the nations whom we
most trust and with whom we most
desire To be aasoc'stec ~ ssc tasks

IL was evident that militaristtc par
ty, under the most influential leader
ship. was seeking to gain ascendency
, in the councils OF France. They
were defeated then. but are in con-
troll now"
81 do not think that Is something
that should be said about France
and / regret exceedingly such a re-
Election upon one OF our allies in
the great war" Lodge said. 81 have
tried in the Senate debate to avoid
any reflection on any of our allies.
81 feel we owe France a very
great debt of gratitude for her part
in the war. For after all, it was
France that bore the brunt of the
war; it was her territory that was
devastated and her people deportcd
and l think France is entitled to a
terrible suffering she endured.
Regrets Wilson Action.
81 am sorry the President saw fit
to say what he did about France. |
regret also the President has seen fit
TO assume the position he has In the
Adriatic dispute.
THAT Italy should desire to pro-
tect herself by holding the strategic
points in tho Adriatic Is only right
under the pact Of London. Italy could
have demanded more territory than
she has. Italy made enormous sacri-
fees in the war. She lost more than
half a million men and she has ask ed
for Fiume peopled largely by her
people In order to protect herself.

SCHOOL NOTES

The record of attendance this year is much better than that of last year which proves that every one is more interested in their work.
 The eighth grade made a record of ninety per cent in attendance last month and they were given the half holiday.
 New pupils are entering school each week now and all the rooms are already crowded.
 The girls basket ball team is pro gressing rapidly under the auspices of Dr. Harrison and MT. White. They hope to play game Friday.
 The boys are going to try their luck with England again, as there have been more boys out for prac- tice this week, they hope to beat 'em.
 We are very sorry that Miss Mor- TOW has been absent the last two days on account of illness. Every one hopes she will be well soon.
 A new feature of the science room is the new chairs which were brought up Tuesday.
 One of the peculiar things about our school is that we have more boys than girls enrolled.
 The percentage of attendance of the first month was 95 per cent. It was 94 per cent for the first month last year.
 One good feature this year is the small number of tardies for the first month. We had only 62 the first month while for the same time last year we had 260
 There were only 45 pupils in the whole school that did unsatisfactory work. Were you one of the 45?
 We were very glad to have our county superintendent, W. c. Davis with us Monday morning. He made Q very interesting talk, telling of the many improvements in our school since he taught here only few years ago.
 The Carlisle Basket Ball team will play the Cotton Plant Basket Ball team on the local grounds Saturday. Let everyone see the game.
 The Senior class was very sorry to have Bernice Cranston absent account of sickness.

RICE GROWERS FIX MINIMUM BELOW PRODUCTION COSTS
Attitude of Federal Reserve and
 Treasury Head Is Called Unfair

Beaumont, Tex, Oct. 16.-Having the plan formulated several weeks ago to market rice, the executive com mittee of the Southern Rice Growers Association has fixed a minimum price of $5 a barrel on numbers one and two Blue Rose, F. o. B. shipping point.
 "The association tried to meet the situation squarely" said E. A. Eignus, manager of the Southern Rice Crow CTS Association land realize that this price means the ruin of many plant CTS, for it is decidedly below the cost of production. The recent lowering of all commodities carried rice down with it. Again, we must guard against the importation of foreign rices.
 ''The sharp decline of sugar, beans, coffee and canned goods has had such marked effect on the trade that 1t is not interested in commodities which they think are not in line with changed conditions.
 ''I think the attitude of the Federal Reserve Board and the secretary of the treasury has been decidedly un- fair to the farmers. The attitude of the government during war had the effect of stimulating production. Now under restricted conditions, they have increased the interest late forcing farmers to sell their crops at less than the cost of production. This will cause a decrease in production next year which will naturally force prices higher.
 We want to make rice so popular with the trade that the groceryman will push it. We must get it on the shelves and get people started to eat ing rice. Rice is infinitely the cheap est food in the country today.
 ,"We believe further that the cam paign of education to induce people to use rice should receive the support of every planter; every farmer should willingly contribute five cents a barrel to help in the publicity campaigns. The price of rice to the consumers in the United States under this present basic price of rice to the consumers Is the cheaper than would have been the case under the marketing plan consid- cred"
 Trading started in earnest today when a basic price became known and several thousand barrels of associa- tion rice in Texas and Louisiana changed hands Trading was princi- pally in Blue Rose, the lower grades being neglected. Due to the bad har- vesting season last year leaving much rice on the ground, there is an mus ual amount of red rice Rains are re- ported general over Texas and Louis iana, but as the fields were very dry, absorbing the moisture readily, it is looked upon as a benefit.
 Word was received at association headquarters today that a number of bankers, farmers and mill men meet ing in Crowley approved the action of the association in fixing the price at $5 a barrel They are also sending out circular stating that they would view with disfavor anyone selling be- low that figure, or mills offering to buy below. They view with special disfavor farmers or mills contracting to toll mill rice Similar action is ex- pected to be taken in Texas.

MUCH RICE SOLD AS PRICE IS
 FIXED BY ASSOCIATION

Beaumont, Tex, Oct. 16.-As a re- suit of fixing the price of rice, the Southern Rice Growers Association reports total sales yesterday of ST. 900 barrels. The highest price paid was S5.35 for 2100 bags of Edith at Bay City. The Standard Milling Com pany bought 5000 barrels of Blue Rose at Garwood at S5 barrel. Early Prolific sold at $4.50.
 The Southern Rice Growers Asso- citation, in conjunction with the banks in making an effort to discourage toll milling, claiming that the practice put the industry practically out of busi- ness a few years ago.

The fifth grade has organized literary society. The following off cers were elected: Virginia Tunis, President; Huston Patterson, Vice President; Beulah Hollingshead, crit ic; Evelyn Perkins. Secretary; Fruit Almond, Marshal.
 Three more new pupils were en- rolled Monday morning in the fifth grade.
 The fourth grade was very sorry to have their teacher, Miss Ruth Jes- sup absent Tuesday afternoon.
 We welcome Ruby Smith and Nan cy Hulen to the Study Hall.
 The eighth grade enjoyed a half holiday this week. Last year the holidays were won by the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. The fact that the eighth grade can win encourages the high school pupils, because their room is next door to high school.

 Carlisle has traffic ordinance on it's books and it should be enforced to the letter. There have been many near accidents since the ordinance was suspended for a short time to do some work on the streets. The work was partially done and stopped, but this is no reason the ordinance should not be enforced until the street work be- gins again.
 Two Dewitt men were murdered from ambush by Prohibition agents near that town few days ago. The act was a cowardly one if the death bed statement of one of the murder ed men is worth anything. The murderers of these men are too cow ardly to face the citizens of Arkan- sas county, from where they sneaked away immediately after committing their dastardly crime.
