FRANKLIN CLUB.

The Franklin Club met at Oak Grove schoolhouse May 19. Miss Posey, our canning club agent, and Mir Williams our county agent, were with us: After the regular work in the meeting MT. Williams showed and explained some interesting slide pie lures on club work and he and Miss Posey made us and interesting talk. To some extent they took us on sur price, but we thank them and wei come them again. We had about 50 visitors present.
 Owing to- the recent cold, rainy weather some of the club work has been a draw back, which has caused some changes to be made in the work. A few of the girls have begun making on their caps and aprons and are talking of buying canners. They ex- pect good future in canning. To- matoes are ready for pruning and stalking. We have boy in our club who has made a good record. He bought his pig March l, for S35; when

NEW ARCHBISHOP OF
 WALES CONSECRATED
(By United Press ]

'by Onlteu fresSJ
 St. Asaph, Wales, June With imposing ecclesiastical pomp and cere- mony, the Right Reverend Alfred George Edwards, until recently bishop of St. Asaph, was today consecrated first Church of England (EpiscopaD archbishop of Wales. The enthrone- ment ceremony was conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury, supported by the archbishops of York, Dublin and Armagh, the four Welsh bishops of Bangor, Llandaff, St. Asapha and St. Davids, and host of visiting prelates and church dignities. Owing to his Australian tour, the prince of Wales was unable to be present, but he and King George, were represented by Prince Albert.
 The new archipiscopate was created after the separation of the church of Wales from that of England under the Welsh disestablishment act, which became law this year.

Another call to property owners in Cadron township to immediately as sess their property. J. W. Akin, depu- ty assessor, will be at the assessors office at the courthouse for the balance of the week for the purpose of com pleting the lists for this township.

Mrs. R. E. Perry, Formerly of Enders Writes Interestingly of COndi-

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I have been thinking for some time would write a few lines to the good old Cabin" We promised so many when we left that we would write to them, but found it almost impossible to write to all, so I take this method of letting them all hear from us.
 We are located on a beautiful farm, two miles southwest of Clarksville Tex, on the hard surfaced road. We have good water, good pasture and several other conveniences. The good roads are certainly blessing to, any country.
 am glad we are not like the man that wrote from Oklahoma. We have good churches, Sunday schools and singing, and I believe as good social and intelligent people as there is in the world. They surely do know how to make strangers feel welcome.
 Crops here are little late on ac- count of so much rain. People do not seem to be so much interested in corn as they do in cotton, as this is real cotton country. This country is noted for raising long staple. The buyers say that the cotton grown here brings from to 8 cents more per pound than the same variety grown on Arkansas soil. We have part of our cotton worked out and have 25 hands hired for tomorrow, but we have had rain today and can't hoe for day or so.
 We all like our new home fine Of course, sometimes a big lump comes in my throat when 1 get to thinking of my two boys I left. My health is very much improved l have gained J0 pounds since I came here. When I look at the beautiful meadows and other new scenes here, I often think of what Prof, J. w. Tubbs said. Prof. Tubbs visited relatives here last fall and he was trying to de- scribe this country to us. He said "Oh, it is the prettiest country next to the good place" My nephew Virgil Webb, is here with us. Virgil likes to farm here and likes the peo- pie, but, oh "that girl he left behind seems to worry him.
 If any of you old friends are pass ing this way, be sure and call on us We will treat you to all the frieC chicken you can eat. With best wish es for the Log Cabin Democrat and it: many readers, I will close,

 AMERICAN DELEGATES
Declares Lansing and Others Were But NIarionettes, Moved at
 Will by Wilson.

Rome, Feb. 17.-"Anerica is going through such a crisis of over-produc- tion that she needs European markets as much as Europe needs her goods" in the opinion of the Popo1o Romano, which today comments upon Presi- dent Wilson's note relative to the Adriatic settlement. Urging United States Senator's Lodge, Sherman and Knox to show the strength of the majority of the senate ill preventing MT. Wilson's interference in Euro pean affairs.'' the newspaper adds:
 Secretary Lansing resigned too late. He was @ straightforward, con- scientious and loyal man until he went to Paris, where, becoming the blind instrument of President Wilson, he lost the esteem of friends and ad- versaries alike. MT. Lansing, Henry White and General Bliss were, in fact, mere marionettes which were moved at the pleasure of the stage manager of the theater at Versailles. At the same time, Colonel House was en- trusted to the negotiation of foreign affairs not for America, but for Pres ident Wilson.
 MT. Lansing, assisted by a very competent staff, repaired many presi- dentfal blunders. He opposed the League of Nations and favored the establishment of an international tri- bunal sufficiently strong to pass valid verdicts. He also differed from MT. Wilson on the Russian question. mandates, the Adriatic dispute and the Turkish problem. Usurpation of power is unknown in the history of America and the president acted without the consent of the only body having the right to give 1.-the American senate and people"
