Taft and the League.
From the Indianapolis New

From the Indianapolis News.
In a recent article in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, former President Taft,
speaking for a large number of fepub-
licans, rgues that it would be much
better for us to seek for a revision of
the present league covenant than to at
tempt to form a new association. He
shows that the changes could very easily
be made and that they would meet, pre-
sumahly, the objections Of Senator Hard
ing. BY consenting to the covenant thus
amended we should, as the former pres
idert points out, in ratifying that also
ratify the Versailles treaty. And. that
he rightly regards as a matter of the
greatest Importance. He says:
The United States. by r%atifying the
treaty with this new league in it, would
make formal peace with Germany and
secure the benefits which the treaty ac-
cords to us as a s%ignatory, and thus
every obstacle to the resumption Of
trade. with Germany on the old basis
would be removed. BY the treaty heavy
burdens are imposed or Germany. She
deserves as heavy punishment as she can
be broken down. She must, in the In
terest Of the world, nave the opportunity
to reconstruct herself. France and Eng
land, particularly the former, are not
slear visioned In this matter. Leniency
will probably ave to be shown Germany
in the interest of all. She and the world
need the United States as a disinterested
participant at the council table, and in
the league, to deal reasonably with the
subject, and to restrain France and Eng
land to what Is practicable.
The influence of the United States Is
greatly needed, for many reasons, and
would be most helpful. We must,
whether we will or not, be partners with
other nations in the ordering OF world
affairs. We could be much more useful,
and greatly more influential. II we
Joined directly with them In tho work
and assumed our fair share Of the bur-
den and responsibility.

RECEIPTS OF DURUM WHEAT
At Seven Primary Markets About g..
1000 Bushels Were Received
In Last Fiscal Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Psceipts Of durum wheat at seven
primary markets were about $780,
600 bushels in the year ending June
80. 1919. During the last five years
they were as high as 100000 BUSH
els in 1916 and as low as 1000, 900
bushels in 1918. Exports of this wheat
ranged from about 24.SOO,OOO bushels
in 1916 to 100000 bushels in 1918,
and the exports Of the fiscal year 1919
were about 1S,3OOOOO bushels. This
is hard wheat with high gluten con-
tent when grown on dry-land farms,
and is suitable for macaroni and other
paste products. Before the war its
chief competitor in the markets of
southern France and Italy, the princi-
pal destinations of the exports, was
similar wheat from southern Russia.

John Browns calf was half Short
horn and half scrub.
Here is what Tom Jones did BY
breeding his scrub cow to the three
quarters bull:
y plus o equals Y; divided by 2.
equals y.
Tom Jones' calf was three-eighths
Shorthorn and five-eighths scrub. Not
much difference in the first generation
but wait. Using those heifer calves
as breeding stock and mating them
with the same kind of bulls, here 10
what happens:
John Brown gets l plus u which
equals III; divided by 2, equals y.
Tom Jones gets X plus as, equals
9/S; divided by equals 9/16.
John Browns calf in the second
generation outgrades Tom Jones' calf
in the second generation by y Short
horn blood.
It Pays to start Right.
And Tom Jones has to breed three
other generations Of cattle (using the
same kind of sire) to bring his cattle
up to approximately the same grade
as John Browns second generation OF
offspring. In the meantime, using the
same kind of bull, John Brown has
graded his cattle up till the offspring
Of the original scrub cows contain
1892 Shorthorn blood and only 1/3z
scrub blood. Tom Jones' cattle, In
the same generation, contain 93E2$
Shorthorn blood and 35128 scrut
blood. Jones' herd, after Is years OF
work, still retains 35 tines as much
| scrub blood as John Browns cattle
all because, Is years ago, John Brown
took the time and the trouble to trave
seven miles instead of a mile, Of
saw his way clear to spend $500 in
stead Of $3.50. The cost Of bulls varies
greatly, of course, according to qualit!
Of breeding, age. and other factors.

WOOD LASTS FOR CENTURIES
Proved to Be Practically In
destructibio.

Men employed in driving a new gal
lery in a gold mine at Charlotte Plalns,
in Victoria. Australia, have made an
astonishing discovery. At a depth Of
300 feet below ground they have come
upon pieces Of timber perfectly pre-
served, which have every appearance
Of having been sawed and shaped by
the hand of man.
This timber lies in the bed Of IN
ancient river now being worked for
gold, and the timber Is oak. Now,
oak has the peculiar property Of last
ing for centuries when buried In water
or wet sand. Oak piles have been
taken out from under old wooden
bridges constructed by the Romans.
and found as sound as when they were
put there. nearly 1000 years ago.
Oak, known as bog oak. is found
buried in Irish peat boys, and is per-
fectly black. intensely hard, and very
valuable. Just before the worlds war
1t was discovered that the bed Of the
river Moksha, in Russia. for q length
Of over 400 miles, IL simply full Of
magnificent old oak trees bedded in
sand. The river Is shallow. and broad,
and the oak can easily be raised.
Smaller deposits are found in Eng
land. There is a pool in the river
Dart. known from time immemorial
as Oak pool. in the bottom Of which
are masses Of fine old oak. The
strange thing is that there are no oak
trees near the spot at present.

q scrub COW. The county agent gave
them a United States department of

There would not seem to be very

Brown has an animal of a fraction

There may be no way to show II

man knows that the difference between
