ALLIES REFUSE
 REDUCE FORCES
NOTE HANDED GERMANS REFUS-
 ING REDUCE NUMBER OF TROOPS IN AREAS

PARIS, Jan. g. (P) In a note handed the German peace delegation today, the allied supreme council abruptly refused to reduce the num- Der of troops which are to be effec- tive in the areas in which plebiscites are to be held under the terms of the treaty The note says that the non-pa participation of America reduces by one-fourth the number of troops that were to have been employed and consequently the German expenses incurred by such operation are re- duced accordingly. The failure of the American senate to ratify the treaty prevents participation by American troops in the policing of areas in which plebiscites will be held

Eddie Suter and his bunch of "Ieatherlungs" last night won their second straight game in the x. C. Gold Medal bonspiel by defeating Reed Heilig by a score of l2 to !. Both teams curled fairly good games and Eddies bunch especially showed lots of enthusiasm and are starting out like winners.
 On the other rink Heilig. senior, upheld the reputation of the family when his kids" disappointed the transportation banker combination headed by one Luther Schooling, de leating Schooling by score of 15 to l2. When Luther and Dick Wood get started they are going to make some of the rest of the bunch get up and hustle but that's not worrying Heillg, senior, who has now ambitions to upset Eddie Suter's soup kettle.
 Tonight the "kewpies" led by Skip Kelly and ably thirded by "Kewpie' Mack will cross brooms with Weber brewers" On the other sheet of ice Dunham, substituting for Anderson s team, will meet Ferguson's lumber jacks"
 Anderson's injured eye is not yet sufficiently improved to make it per missable for him to get in the game The conclusion of the Suter trophy bonspiel is being delayed on this ac- count. It is hoped that Anderson will be back in the game in few days and the tie in that match settled.

GREAT POWER OF
 SUGGESTION IN
 ADVERTISEMENTS

A Since the close of the war there has been a great increase in news paper advertising. This publicity must have rendered a service which any ambitious person can use to de- velop his business.
 The first service which newspa per publicity renders comes through the power of suggestion. If you suggest to people the advantages of doing some desirable thing, they are more likely to do it than if you do not mention it.
 Take the case of photographs. The people are constantly being reminded in newspapers and magazines of the advantages of photographs They are shown pictures of dances and home circles and social gatherings where phonographs bring haPpiness and merriment. You see pictures of singers whose work Is reproduced by photographs, and all that. It makes people want photographs. Proba- bly, ten times as many photographs have been sold as if they were never advertised.
 People read in their newspapers about bargains in shoes That makes them reflect that their shoes are get ting worn and they need new ones. They, therefore, buy shoes instead of something else that wa-ss not sug-

fate of the $7O,000 provided for in the city's budget hangs in the balance, and whether the saloonkeepers who took out their licenses in the face of of their money back, is a matter for the legislature to decide. It is under stood the county commissioners are awaiting advice from the attorney general of the state, as the state, as well as the city, shared the money once received from liquor license. If a rebate is advised, then it would have to be provided for in a state appro- priation, for the states part of the liquor money. It-may be the city will wait until the action of the legislature in the matter,

WORK LIKE THE DEVIL

Mr. Editor-The above may sound a little wicked at first blush, but look at it again; view it from the stand point of constancy and perseverance.
 It is true, and a safe proposition that "Old Nick" is on his job 365 days and nights in the year. Here, then, is philosophy, logic, energy and d standard of work that is worthy of emulation.
 I once heard of an old woman who never allowed herself to speak dis paringly of anyone, and always had a good word for all One day some women were giving the "Old Boy the devil, and saying all sorts of bad things about him, when the old lady said, "Well, I don't know much about the devil, but I do know that he is mighty perseverin.' ,
 She found that virtue in the devil a4d 1t Is mighty true.
 How does the devil work?
 When does the devil work?
 Where does the devil work?
 How? By all the means and ways at his command He is a self-con- stituted committee on ways and means, and he knows how to resolve and execute his designs.
 He's no stacker, and no shirker, but puts his shoulder to the wheel and makes it go.
 He never loafs. He has no time for loafing, but he keeps up with the loafer's corner gossip seven days and nights week. He monopolizes time claims 1t all and uses it all.
 Where does he work? In the home, in the church, in the business house, ol the bench, at the bar, in the pull pit, in the pew-everywhere.
 If men and women would work like the devil there would not be so many debts to pay, and there would be more corn and hay, and meat, and flour, and potatoes, and molasses pro- dueed, and not so many of these thing. to buy, and the farmer would be more independent. There are too many farmers buying $2 corn, $35 hay, and so on, when little more work like the deviln will put corn in the crib, hay in the barn and meat in the smokehouse and good old sorg hum 'lases in the barrel-and put money in the bank.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

Situation Far More Serious Than
 Most People Realize

The following is clipped from the Extension Co-0perator, published by the Agricultural Department of the University of Arkansas.
 Suspension, if not extinction, of a great many country weeklies is re- garded as possibility due to the shortage of paper and greatly inereas- ed costs of publication While many persons already recognize the misfor- tune that this would represent to each and everzy community that suffered such loss, a great many others are just beginning to realize the value of the work accomplished by this com munity institution.
 The country editor puts far more into his work than he can ever expect to get out of it financially He is bothsa teacher and a preacher but his salary IS neither voted nor guaranteed He is a self-appointed booster for bis community and he stays on the job, many times serving as editor, reporter, printer, pressman and in general filling the places of several men. week in and week out. He finds little time for vacations but he hangs on because he loves the work.
 He gives his life's work to keeping his community informed, to pointing the way to progress, to building up 2 sense of loyalty to the community and to fostering a certain devotion for the home town that gives support, brings business and builds up the town and community. He is the ser want of the community in the true sense of the word
 An awakened appreciation of the value of the country press was brought about during the war when so many agencies had need of the as sistanee it could give. Many county agents enlisted the support of their local press during that period for the first time and were brought to realize the great service rendered py the country weeklies.
 Cooperation is not one sided. Now is the time for all real friends of the country weeklies to rally round your home town papers and do everything possible to insure their weathering the present situation.

FEDERAL CONTROL
 OF WHEAT HAS ENDED
DEALERS ARE FREE TO BUY AND SELL AT PRICES FIXED
 BY SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Washington, June 1.-Federfl con trol of wheat and wheat products ended today, the wheat directer ceas- ing to function under the limitation of the law creating his office and the food administration control ended by proclamation of President Wilson
 This means the passing of the gov- ernment guarantee ef S2.20 a bushel for wheat established during the war as a means of stimulating production. Some existing contracts remain to be carried out by the United States Grain Corporation, which has been the instrumentality of the government in handling wheat As soon as these contracts have been executed the cor poration will wind up it's affairs and turn over its finances to the Treas ury Department.
 Licensing of dealers in wheat and wheat products has been in the hands of the wheat director and the food administration and this automatically ended today. Dealers, except those having contracts at fixed figures, are now free to buy and sell at such prie- es the law of supply and demand and other conditions may bring about.
 Officials of the grain corporation said the corporation had operated at slight profit, but that the exact fig ures would not be known until the affairs had been wound up.
