ment. 1t is unfortunate that any body Of Cit
zens should wish their country to destroy its
means Of defense and lay itself open to despoil-
alton by it's enemies. 1t is fine thing to talk
Of disarmament, but the who has any re-
gard for his own or his neighbours future hap
piness will say little about its practical appli-
cation to the United States
Austen Chamberlain, English chancellor Of
the eXchequer, announces that the unpaid in
terest on American loans to England now
amounts to three hundred and fourteen Million
five hundred thousand dollars. He failed how
ever to give any indication as to when those
arrears would be paid Or when the principal
amounting to about four billion two hundred
million dollars, would be reduced. Meanwhile
the American people have got to meet the in
terest on that huge sum, and the rest of the ten
billion dollar allied loan, by taxation.
: The famine in China includes the province
of Shantung, over which Japan is supposed to
exercise a paternal protection in accordance
with the terms of the Versailles treaty Can it
be that her first step in the exploitation of that
land is to permit the reduction of the Chinese
population to make the way easier for the sub
stitution of her own nationals?

OUR SOUTHERN RELATIONS.

The bitterest criticism of the Argentine dele
cation which withdrew from the league of ma
tions assembly comes from La Nacion, one of
the leading newspapers of Buenos Aires. The
most outspoken denunciator of the Monroe doc
trine is that same newspaper, which sees what
the senate of the United States never lost sight
of, namely, that the league of nations and the
Monroe doctrine were incompatible. It has
long seemed apparent that one of Mr.. Wilson's
purposes was to subyert that doctrine There
is no doubt in the mind of any American but
that Mr.. Harding will support it. The false
light in which the United States has been plac-
ed by the present administration by its aggres-
sions in some of the Latin-Amercan republics
has done much to create their distrust of US
and of all for which We stand, the doctrine in
cluded. It will be one Of the tasks Of the new
administration to restore that entente cordiale
which existed between those republics and the
United States before Mr.. Wilson's accession
to Office and to Danish their fears as to our I'M
peralistic intentions. Pleasant commercial re-
lationships, an improved and frank diplomacy,
and the severe arraignment Of that attitude Of
mind toward non-SaXon races which has par
ticularly characterized our southern statesmen,
will insure that friendship between the nations
Of the western hemisphere without which there
can be little harmony.

ing with her, but all in vain, and l have
come to the conclusion that the buying
and wasting habit is just as incurablc rs
the dope habit. And unfortunately there
| is no law to restrain a wife from throwing
away her husbands money as there is TO
| prevent her from buying drugs.
Nov am not willing TO spend the
balance of my days toiing like a slave
| to enrich jewellers and cabarets and COM
| plexion specialists. | want 10 have some
thing better to show for my life work than
a closetful of imported dresses ana hats.
| That is one side of the problem. The
| other is my wife who buys, and buys, and
buys. What shall | do about it?'
My advice to this man. and every other
| man who is married to woman who rs
not willing to live within his means, is to
get up and leave her Divorce her.
Get rid of her just as he would of any
other business partner who was running
the firm by reckless extravaganza.
| believe in every man being both
generous and Just to his wife. ! believe
in family spending a liberal amount of
its income as il goes along, instead of
pinching and scrimping every penny for
future day of splurge that none OF them
may live to see, but it is just as much n
wife's business to save her husbands
money, rs it is his business to earn It,
and If she doesn't do this, shc has de-
faultcd on her part of the marriage con-
tract and should be made to pay the
penalty.
A man is n weakling and fool who let's
his wife ruin his life by her extravaganza,
and sell him into bondage to milliners and
dressmakers, and 1t speaks volumes tor
the hearts of men and nothing for their
haads that there are so many OF these
peor, pitiful domestic slaves.
There is no justification for the man
folly because he is making this heroic
sacrifice for woman whose very conduct
shows that she has no particle OF affection
for him, and that she rs as hard rs stone,
and callously indifferent to his suiferings.
Certainly 1t can tlatter no mans iatter
no mans vanity to realize that he IS
merely shopping account and meal
ticket to his wife, and that she is perfectly
willing to work him to death TO provide
her with fashionable address on her
visiting cards, and near-poarl necklace.
Every man should explain his financial
affairs in detail to- his wife He should
tell her just exactly what they can afford
to spend He should make her under
stand why they must economlze IN order
that he may enlarge his business, or
start in business for himself. or realize
some other plan of advancement.
And If she refuses to do her part, and
insists on living beyond their means and
running him IN debt. it is up to him to
take the first train out for Reno.
4 wife who loves bargain sale more
than she does her husband is a good rid

81 don't care much for sailing" said
Billy Possum- Il don't like 10 get wet. ;"
'Oh, YOU will be perfectly dry in the
boat | have, said Reynard, ''and besides
that ! am sure ouwill find on the other
side of the river many things you like to
cat. Come along, il will be a great lark .
Billy Possum was a good-natured
fellow and so he went with REWARD,
who seemed so snN Gus to have him go
along.
"Now YOU get in first" said Reward
when they reachedNthe boat II do not
mind getting a little water on me. and
shall have to unfasten the rope and push
off the boat.
MIR. Fox had placed in the bottom
OF the boat big branch of a fir tree and
when they were near the ducks that were
swimming about on the water he told
Billy Possum not to move. but keep out
OF sight in the bottom of the boat.
Then over the side away from the
ducks slipped Reynard with the branch in
his mouth and swan toward them hidden
from them by the branch he carried.
Now has plan was to catch a duck
and throw one into the boat with Billy
Possum; then he would hide behind the
branch again and catch one TO carry
home, but he did not intend to get into
the boat again. Oh, no, he would swim
home and leave the boat floating around
the pond with poor Billy Possum and the
dead duck.
Some one will find the boat and
then they will think that Billy Possum
Is 10 blame for all the poultry that has
disappeared around here and they will
not hunt for me, !" was what sly and crafty
Reynard was thinking.
But, like the plans of mice and men,
the plans of foxes also sometimes 90
away, and so with this one, which Reynard
had planned so carefully, for just as he
was nearing the ducks shot rang out
over the water and whizzed right past
the tap of Reynard's nose
He dropped the branch he carried
and swan for the other side of the pond
with Just the tip of his nose out Of the
water.
