BERLIN, December 24.-"Peace on
earth, good will to men"
So ran the song Of Bethlehem
centuries ago. And. like the unheed-
ing Romans of old, shall we say that
Christmas comes again to world
distracted and torn with strife? Shall
we say that peace and good will have
not arrived. despite the efforts of
three continents? Shall we say that
the lion and the lamb will not lie
down together?
In other words. are we as deaf as
the Roman world was during the lat
ter days of Caesar? Is it not that the
multitude Of events. whirling cinema
like before our eyes, blunts our pow
crs of perception so that we do not
see the importance of the happenings
about US?

PARIS, December 24.-The ''conversa-

You know the origin OF the interviews.
Germany wrote that she could not make
her January and February payments.
The reparations commission unanimous

anime the communication. Thereupon
NJ BRAND went to London. The French
public concluded with good deal OF
satisfaction that he had gone to define
the means to be employed in forcing
Germany to pay. But almost the first
news from England dissipated this hope.
It was said the two premiers had dis
eussed conditions Of delay for Germany
and were ready further to modify the
conditions of payment. grand con-
ference was planned. including the
sov:ets of Russia and Germany.

NUMBER Sc
FARM LOAN ACT
DECLARED VALID
Supreme Court Holds Congress Has
Authority To Establish
Land Banks.

Washington, Feb. 2S-The Federal
Farm Loan act was held constitution
al today by the Supreme Court. This
is the act under which land banks
were established tc extend loans to
farmers.
Millions of dollars in loans to
farmers have been held up pending a
decision OF the court in this case.
which was brought by Charles w.
Smith, a stockholder in the Kansas
City Title C Trust Company, who
sought an injunction to restrain that
institution from investing it's funds
in bonds issued by the Farm Loan
Banks.
The act was attacked on the
ground that Congress was without
constitutional authority to establish
Farm Loan Banks and to exempt their
bonds from taxation. Justice Day,
who rendered the opinion for the
court, said the power of Congress to
establish banks had in broad sense
been upheld by the Supreme Court in
the days of Chief Justice Marshall.
The court in sustaining Federal
court DEGREES dismissing injunction
proceedings brought by Mr.. Smith,
also held that Congress had the au-
thority to exempt the bonds of the
bank from taxation.
The court divided 6 to 2, Justices
Holmes and McReynolds dissenting,
Justice Brandeis took no part in con-
sidering the case. Justices Holmes
and McReynolds held that the
"cause" should have been dismissed
by the court as being solely within the
scope of Missouri courts.
In anticipation of the decision of
the court in this case, the House on
Saturday postponed until tomorrow a
vote on section of the Sundry Civil
Bill authorizing the Treasury to pur-
chase $200,000,000 worth of farm
loan bonds. The Supreme Courts
decision will permit the banks to go
ahead with the sale of their bonds on
the market, and some congressional
leaders do not regard 1t as necessary
to make the proposed 5000, 100000

Struggling to rival the Ciecros and
Demosthenses of ancient times are
the men who compose the Debaters'
Club OF the University of Kentucky.
Among them is F. P. Bell, of Hartford
Kentucky. Bell, who is Senior in
the College of Arts and Sciences came
to the University two years ago from
western Kentucky Normal School at
Bowling Green. Though his time
with us has been short he is fa-
miliar figure on the Campus and was
successful contestant for a place

addition to N. B. Conkwright and
Herbert Haley, faced the trio from
the University of Miami, and came
out victorious. winning what is
known as the forensic "K". Bell,
who is majoring in Economics and
minoring in Law, will probably adopt
teaching as a profession when he
leaves the University.

LOCALS MOP UP ON
MADISON BUNCH

In the hardest fought basket ball
game ever witnessed on the local
floor, and perhaps the best played
contest ever seen here, the Hartford
High School Quintette took the sec
ond game from the fast Madison,
Ind, High School Team on last
Thursday night, the other game hav-
ing been staged the night previous, as
reported last week. The Hoosier
FIVE came back strong and held the
local boys steady thruout the game.
At the end of the first period the
score stood 6-6 and with less than 6
minutes to go, in the latter half the
score was 1916 during these last few
minutes Ellis for the locals threw a
goal, one-handed throw from near
the left center of the court which
went true to the mark, freak shot,
perhaps, but 1t sent the fans into bed
lam, as wild as March Hares." Then
Grove Gagged another field throw in
the last few minute sof play, just
before time was called, making the
points 10 to Is in favor of the home
boys.
The lineup was the same as in the
game of the previous night, with
Spillman, of Madison and Foreman,
of Hartford, alternating as referee
and umpire. The game was wild
and fast. but no rough stuff was
pulled by either team-a gentleman
ly contest from start to finish.
Local fans and players were unani-
nous in praising the Hoosier outfit
as clean, sportsman-like bunch of
good fellows and hope that they may
return at another date.

The National By Laws of the Par

The local associations should not
assume the duties that belong to the
Board of Education, but should Co
operate in friendly ways with the
board, and by such cooperation may
enable the board to secure many need

1t is NOT the function of the Parent

Therefore every local association is
