SETTLING BUSINESS DISPUTES
OUT OF COURT

Chicago has devised an ingenious
way of settling business disputes
without going into court with them.
The Chamber Of Commerce has an
arbitration committee of thirteen
to hear such disputes and pass up.
on them, and where an expert IS
required it calls in one Of its own.
There is no time lost in swear
ing in a jury and questioning
each member as to whether he
knows anyone who knows any Of
the parties to the dispute, nor in
listening to legal bubble or long
winded speeches. The committee IS
composed of business men who ap-
proach the case as they would any
question arising in their own bust
ness, and decide it from common
sense pom: Of view.
Should the plan work out IS well
and as satisfactorily as is expected
it will not only relieve the courts Of
an immense mass of trivial dis
putes, but it will obyiate the Ill
feeling that so often follows the
trial of cases in court. The liti-
giants will be in the position of two
friends who refer their misunder-
standings TO a third for his opinion
and there will be no reason why
they should not shake hands when
the decision is made.-Detroit Free

COMMENT OF ENGLISH
WEEKLIES ON PEACE TREATY.

The New Europe GLiberaD sup
ports Mr.. Lloyd Georges state
mnnt that, In spite of American
withdrawal, the League of Nations
is vital necessity and must be
made a reality. The same paper
condemns the o. S. policy OF sac
red egoism' which is now affecting
banking circles in London with
serious practical results to Europe.
The Outlook Conservative agrees
that the League is a vital neces-
city and reiterates its opinion that
the efficacy of the League depends
on the limitation of ornaments and
the prohibition of private munitions
factories.
The Nation (RadicaD says it
would be more honest to bury the
League than to revise it along
American lines. This, it says,
would result in military alliances.
The spectator CONSERVATIVE
says that the League is ineXtraca-
Bile from the Treaty and necessary
to civilization; but it calls for the
revision of the reparation clauses in
the Treaties.
The Economist GiberaD urges
that Great Britain should cancel
all Allied debts to her.

reckons its numbers at 1000 600.
In effect it puts the labor vote up

that makes the highest bid in its
platform and in the character Of its
candidates. That is the program
and the aim. If the Federation's
political hopes are crowned with
success, our local, state and nation

responsible organizations as well

With the point of your knife carefully
work the skin free from the meat
until you can get hold with your
fingers. Pull the skin down from the
back as far as you can and peel It
clear away from around the tail. Take
the fish in one hand, the skin in the
other, pull and it is done. 1t takes
only few minutes and the meat that
is left is almost boneless.

when you were boy? Dad says
they used to make ice cream on the
Fourth of July. I'd rather be boy
now if | can live near Caldwell. We
have had ice cream every day and
twice on Sunday all summer. Teu
cents worth Of ice will freeze 4 three
quart freezer of cream. Twenty cents
worth will freeze it twice and make
lemonade. This is not josh. We have
been doing it all summer. Hay men

When a small boy makes it mother

Here is the way we boys make it:
Que cup sugar, one egg, one and one
half junket tablets, favoring, and the
cream and top milk from three quarts
of milk. If you fill the freezer pretty
full it will some times be necessary
to cat three dishes of the ice cream
to keep it from running over. This
makes enough to serve family of ten.
