door of the Senate, when the blame
rests upon his own shoulders-simply
because he places his intelligence and
reasoning power above the majority of
those men elected to sit in the highest
law-making body in the world.
1.-THE one thing about these two
events for which am thankful is that
the people will have to pass upon the
whole problem. And when it is left to
the people the result will be to uphold
the Constitution of the United States
and the teachings of the fathers of this
country In Mr.. Wilson's message he
said he could not sign this resolution
because he wouldn't have anything to
do with AN action which would place
and honor of the United States" All
of which sounds nasty but means
nothing. He made no new arguments
nor did he say anything which could
be used in favor of the world club
plan. He simply doesn't like the reso-
luton idea because II would not bring
peace IN THE WAY HE WANTS IT.
not because it wouldn't bring peace
He did not say anything about the
right of Congress to make peace in
this way He knows Congress has
that right under the Constitution. Be
cause the resolution did not consider
or make mention of the now dead four
teen points he thinks ii would place
the United States in the position of
turning its back on Europe. But how
about the treaty itself? 1t certainly
leaves out many of those points which
Mr. Wilson so gallantly carried to
Paris. There is no mention anywhere,
either in the treaty or the world club
plan, of freedom of the seas.
when the resolution was returned
| Congress was not very much excited
to pass it over his head because the
whole matter will very soon go before
the people. The most important part
to me at least, about the veto, is the
fact that it shows that Mr.. Wilson has
not another new thing to say for his
world club. 1t has all been said ant
when the people vote they will decide
that in our relations with Europe We
should keep free from entangling ALI
ances with other countries, so that W,
can act quickly and well, as we have
in the past.

Have Succession Crops In Your
Garden.

No garden can serve its greatest use
to the family unless a succession of
crops is provided throughout the en-
tire growing season. BY succession
crops we mean that rs soon as one
crop is harvested, another should be
planted; for example, sugar corn
makes an admirable succession to
early peas. Several succession plant
ing of beans should be made, and the
supply of beets. lettuce, radishes, etc,
can be made to last practically
throughout the season by succession
planting.

Big Power Units OF Farm Work Urged.

Horses and mules are considered
plentiful; but labor is very scarce.
Therefore, the farm engineering de-
partment of the College of Agriculture
is recommending the using of large
power units as means to help solve
the farm labor problem. Five mules
and one man on a gang pillow can pillow
four acres in a ten hour day, while
one man and two mules will pillow
about one and one-half acres in a ten
hour day

PARIS, France, September 15.-If
the French government has it's way
the French people will soon be pay
ing double postage on all letters and
postal cards they send abroad Postal
rates have gone up so much in France
that they are now above the inter.
national level and appear to the peo-
pie to be unjust.
The congress of the Universal
Postal Union at it's sessions in Madrid
Spain. next month will have to deal
with the French proposal to increase
the establishe ed international rate.
The problem of exchange will also
have to be considered. France be-
lieves that it might be solved by MAX
ing the franc the sole international
monetary unit in postal affairs. Ac-
cording to the Petit Parisien, the
British postal committee, headed by
Lord Robert Cecil, is opposed to this
change. 1t says that the increase in
rates is unnecessary.

WASTE OF FUNDS ALLEGED
BY THE BRITISH PRESS
Committee on Public Accounts Asks
Report on SO, SOC, 900 Invest
ment in Russia.

meQL IN Russia.
LONDON. September 14.-Britisl
papers are printing almost daily ex-
amples of what they term the waste
of public funds. A report just is
t,ued by the committee on public ac-
counts sheds fresh light on the sub
ject. Nearly $8,500,000 was involved.
1t appears, in the governments plan
to finance the Russian Gen. Alexieff
just before the bolshevik revolution
brought about his collapse. Part of
the plan was to set up a Cossack
state bank in Siberia, and for that
purpose $2.50O,000 was loaned to
Russian fnancier. But the bank was
never set up and the committee wants
to know what became of the money.
The ministry Of munitions paid $12,-
250,000 for plant begun in 1917. and
which when the war ended, was only
half finished. For this outlay the
committee points out. the country re-
ceiyed no benefit whatever except
through the stimulus to the steel
trade"
Waste of nearly $500,000 is charged
by the committee to the admiralty on
a scheme for establishing schools to
train boys in pneumatic riveting.
Cases are referred to by the COM
mittee where government officers
holding responsible positions allotted
contracts either to themselves or to
firms in which they were interested
Such cases, the committee asserts,
ARE especially liable to become an
occasion for scandals"
