she country into the hands of the very
 men who have led the party into it's
 present plight.
 The services of President Wilson to
 the cause of permanent peace at the
 conference at Paris were very great
 and they were successful to an ex-
 traordinary degree.
 It was he who persuaded the other
 negotiators to make the covenant and league indispensable parts of any final settlement The provisions of the league are so interwoven with the
 provisions of the treaty that the union Is allepervasive. The league provides the means of carrying out the pro- visions of the treaty, and throughout
 the treaty the league appears as the Indispensable instrument for execut- ing. and also for modifying the terms of the covenant and treaty as occa- sion may require.
 That the covenant and treaty to- gether contain the means of abolishing secret treaties and understandings, of reducing armaments, and curbing na- tions inclined to attack their neigh bbors or to cause dangerous friction in International dealings, is due to Presi- | dent W Wilson and to the influence of ! his ideals on the governments and peo : | ples of Europe.
 | NILOOIN D Fluul FON hIOH 1 The other negotiators did not share | President Wilson's ideals when the conferences began, and at the end they probably accepted them with but | scant belief in their efficacy. All parties in Great Britain have been for
 centuries shy of ideals in general, and have been ready to abandon theories
 and logical aims in favor of compro. l mises and short steps toward some
 immediate practical end.
 1 French diplomacy has for many years depended on secret alliances and
 secret, even unrecorded, understand 1 iDgs. The general attitude of Premie Ter | IClemenceau throughout the confer | ences was one of cynical distrust. He had no faith that strong nations could | be or were going to be influenced in 1 their relations with other nations by ! anything but their own interests and passions He felt that France could be protected against Germany in the fu- I ture only by reducing Germany to i'm potency and that no League of Ma ] tions and no affirmations of interna- | tional good could be trusted to ! make France safe.

 The record of s. s. s. stands out as one of the signal suc- cesses of American business life. It was first placed on the market more than fifty years ago, and each succeeding year has shown a steady growth in it's demand. s. s. s. is an hon. est, reliable remedy, and throughout it's career only conservative, bona fide public ity has been permitted, so that it's phenomenal growth is the result of merit alone, backed up by intelligent, persistent and aggressive exploitation.
 s. s. s. is today recognized as the standard blood purifier and tonic, and is used regular ly by those who realize the i'm portance of avoiding disease by the intelligent method .o1 keeping the blood supply al- ways pure and vigorous and healthy.

 WILSON AND WASHINGTON
 The reader who has apprehended the quality of the foregoing quotations from President Wilson's messages and addresses and the nature and extent of
 his services at the Paris conferences
 will now be prepared to appreciate the following extract from an editorial in
 the Philadelphia Public Ledger of
 July 31:
 Governor Cox and his personal staff will not be able to slink from under the burdens of the Wilson administrations. They must defend their records or be condemned for them. Only in that way
 can the American people pronounce
 their final Judgment on Wilsonism. Otherwise Wilsonism escapes scot free. There is no method by which party can inflict on this nation the ills of an experimental, do-idealistic, irritat- ingly impractical. openly sectional, poisonously socialistic government, and get away with it without any comeback The democratic party must accept the consequences of it's seven lean years and await the verdict of a thoroughly exasperated people" A good parallel with this criticism of "Wilsonism7 and the Wilson admins trations is to be found in the Aurora, a

 TONS OF ROCK ON GRADE IN CANYON

The first big shot in the grading operations in the Nenana canyon, where railroad construction work is rapidly assuming large proportions, was set off recently by George Cato & Co.,, who have large rock contract south of the end of steel. The shot was a complete success, it being estimated that approximately .2,5OO yards of rock was broken up and moved by the explosion.
 As a preliminary to the big shot, ia tunnel two feet wide and three feet high was driven into the hill a distance of 25 feet, and the end of the tunnel crosscut a distance of four feet on each side, making an apartment 1Ox2x3 feet. Nearly q ton of explosive was used to load the coyote hole, which was cleo trically discharged

JOHN DEMOS HAS TAKEN LONG SHOT
 IN SOUTHERN O|L

The News is in receipt of the following newsy letter from John Demos, former well-known resident ! of Nenana, who left for the States by way of the Fairbanks trail a short time ago. The letter is dated at Ranger, Texas, and was written on December IS. The company he refers to is the Ranger-Sipe Springs Oil company, capitalized at half a million dollars, and of which At torncy s. H. Milwee, former Fair 1 ibanksan, is secretary-trustee The letter follows:
 II arrived in Ranger the 18th, and have been spending the time since looking over the country This is the best country 1 ever saw and the livest to make money in. Rang CT is a town of around thirty thou sand or more and is growing very fast, with brick buildings going up lsome fifteen in number, ranging from two to six stories in height, now under construction, and money circulating a-plenty.
 Lots of money is being made out of oil, and development is being ex- tended all the time.
 II have made an investment in the stock of the Ranger-Sipe Springs Oil company. This company is or iganized by Dr. Milwee of Dallas and s. H. Milwee, who used to be in Alaska, together with some more oldtimers of this state. have made d thorough investigation of the company, and I believe it's man agcment is square and all right. Mr. T. k Req, one of the organ izers, is wealthy and responsible cattleman of Hamilton county. pr Milwee is the leading X-ray special list of this country, and lives 1t Dallas; also Dr. Req lives at Dallas, wherc he is practicing physician, and thc balance of them are all well known in this state. l have Hooked over some of the holdings of the company, with the result that Il think enough of it to take a chance, and believe that the com pany will make good and that they are in a good field. 1 just got a wire from Bert Spencer, member of the company, who is now at Sipe Springs, saying that another we'll had come in close up to the com ,pany's holdings. This makes it look still better. Spencer is an old timer of the North, having been in Dawson and Fairbanks.
 Il am enclosing some of the, pros pectuses of the company, for your perusal
 'I like this country fine, and until further notice my address will be Ranger, Texas. Please remem- Der me to my old friends around Nenana. By the way, Andy Hoey is here and he also has invested in this company. Yours truly

'"The number of hopelessly shabby

town, be 1t large or small, has a wo-

organizations set the standards, and
the rest of the community make a
more or less successful effort to live
up to them. SO it is to the club wom-
Ell of America that | make the appeal

The City Beautiful movement.
THE word city is used in it's broad

has its own problems that must be
worked out along individual lines. and
this thought has been kept in mind

sufficiently elastic to admit Of the nee

P'ywood in AirpIane Construction.

Plywo0d is wood Of any variety that
has been cut by machine into thin
layers and glued together again In
such way that the grain Of one layer
runs at an angle to the grain Of two
adjacent layers. The strength of
pIywood panel, in two planes, greatly
exceeds that Of steel. With some wood,
by combining cuts, it is even possible
10 get greater resistance to stress in
all three planes than steel affords
. though it is rarely necessary to go so
far. Ordinary wood used for airplane
construction is not required to with
stand severe stresses in more than
two planes. What plyWoOd means to
airpane construction is well illustrate.
