and said she would not stand in the vorce, that he might marry the woman of his choice. Her last request was that Mrs. Deivggie leave the room for an hour. A few minutes later Mrs. Parsons stepped to medicine cabinet, snatched a bottle of poison and raised it to her lips.
 Parsons called Mrs. Deivggie back when his wife tainted. Physicians were summoned and Mrs Parsons was rushed to hospital. At the hos pital the physicians at first despaired of the recovery of Mrs Parsons.

During the last few days let

the farm laborer is asking from

that the average for havcst help

County Exhibits at the State
Fair.

A Pine County exhibit will be
taken to the State Fair again
this year. Mr.. Derr and Mr.. Po-
ferl Of Pine City, are in charge
of the exhibit. The gathering
and preparing of an exhibit

in charge. and every one in the
county should cooperate and help
make the exhibit the best in the
state. as there is no question
about the fact that Pine county
products are as good or better
than any raised in the state. If
you have any products which
might be of value let Mr.. Derr
or Mr.. Poferl know.
The Farm Bureau is assisting
in getting up the potato exhibit

DISAPPROVE FRENCH OCCUPATION.

Both The American and the Brit
lSh governments disapprovc the act
ion of France in taking possession
of German cities in the neutral zone
established cast Of the Rhine by the
treaty of Versailles. The French
claim that Germany first violated
The treaty by sending a military
force into The Ruhr district. This
Tho technically a violation of the
treaty. was not a violation in fact
for, as Germany explains, The troops
were sent into that district to put
down disturbances, protect The gov
"rnmcni and preserve The peace but
with no intention TO violate the
treaty. Ii thus appears that France
has been premature in her Occupa-
tiOn Of German cities. The French
probably lacked confidence in Ger
many's professions and acted ac-
cordingly. Be the truth about this
rs ii may. the blame for the present
situation may well be put upon the
l.. 5. Senate. Had The Versailles
treaty and The French, British.
American treaty for The protection
Of France been promptly ratified,
The military party would never
have gained control of the French
government: there would have been
no cause OF apprehension on the
part OF France, the United States
and her Allies would soon have
reached working agreement, and
Germany. knowing that America
had accepted the peace treaty,
would have been strictly on good
behavior.
Whatever may come out of The
French venture across The Rhine
we must now take our share OF The
responsibility. The Senate being
our Senate we must take The conSc-
qucDccs Of what il does whether
we like them or not. As time goes
on more and more apparent be-
comes ilrc folly Of the Schatc's re-
fuSal TO raiify The treaty.
