From time to time the bureau Of
animal Industry publishes a "com-
munique" showing conditions along the
wide battle front where the allied

are fighting cattle tuberculosis.
The latest report indicates that since
the beginning of the movement 10

OPTIMISM PREVAILS IN LUMBER
Big Operators Look for Better Condi-
tons As Spring Opens.


On account of the Importance of the
lumber and logging industry to the
prosperity of Boundary county, the
following statement regarding the pos
sible future conditions in the lumber
market will be of interest locally:
There is a well defined streak of
Optimism throughout the lumber in
dustry, based upon the belief that fl
nancial credit will ease, that the I'M
satisfied demand for housing and 9TH
err construction will assert itself, and
that lower water rates, taken in con
nection with the establishing of lum-
Der handling facilities at Atlantic
ports, will enable west coast lumber
to be sold freely in east coast mar
kets," says Robert b. Allen, secretary
of the West Coast Lumbermen's asso-
citation in outlining the lumber situa-
ton at the beginning of the new year
The review declares that this optim-
ism is in spite of the fact that the Pa
eific northwest lumber industry en-
tiers the new year with the lightest
order files in its history, the heaviest
inventories of the past decade, with
financial conditions temporarily re-
tarding new construction, adverse ex-
change operating against exports, and
advanced freight rates restricting the
use of west coast lumber in markets
east of the Mississippi river.
Rail freight rates while not now
fundamental, will again become of
primary Importance as the financial
condition of the country improves and
the demand for lumber swings back
toward normal.

The difficulties of transportation,
the lack of materials. the insufficient
number of contracting organizations,
the scarcity of adequate equipment

Senator Borah Declares Europe
Will Go to Smash Unless
Treaty Is Overhauled
ADVISES CALLING AN
INTERNATIONAL FARLEY
Saws u. S. Has Slim Chance of
Collecting War Debts
Under Present Pact
CRY United PreSS)

Washington, Dec. s, (By Lawrence
Martin Europe will go to smash
and America will face serious trou-
BILE unless the Versailles treaty Is
completely overhauled and rewritten
Senator Borah of Idaho declared to-
day in launching a campaign when
he hopes will lead to revision OF the
pact.
Borah urged the calling of an in
ternational conference of Great Brit
ain, France, Japan and Germany, to
"rewrite this treaty so Europe can
live"
Revision of the treaty is the only
way to save Europe, Borah asserted.
Unless Europe is saved and restored
to normalcy. the United States not
only stands a small chance of collect
ing the more than eleven billions al
ready due on war loans, but Amer
ica's prosperity will suffer through
the failure of foreign markets, it was
pointed out.
Until the economic basis of the
treaty is changed and Germany is
given a chance to come back, any aid
the United States might try to lend
either by canceling the war debts,
as being suggested, or by lending
more money, would be futile, he
declared.

Is Reimbursed to Extent Of
$1,564, Having Reported
Premiums of $4,1OO
IS LARGEST AMOUNT OF
AID FOR ANY SOCIETY
State Auditor Says Aid Has
Stabilized Number of
Weak Organizations

Minnesota's annual Christmas gift
to the county agricultural societies
of the state went forward this week
when R. P. Chase, state auditor, Of
ficiating as Santa Claus, completed
the mailing of checks to the amount
of $14O,S32.97, state aid to the So
cieties.
This aid to the agricultural asso-
Citations of the state is directed by
law and is based on the premiums
paid by the various societies, the
maximum basis Of pro-rating re-lm-
bursement to any. society being
Sl,7OO. The largest amount received
by any society in the state is 81 1854:
The 1921 legislature appropriated
$4,000 for this purpose and this
with the balance available was d.
yided pro-rata at the rate OF 81 cents
on the dollar.
/ The 3eltrami County Agricultural
Society is reimbursed to the extent
of $1,564, having reported total pre-
miums paid amounting to $4,1OO.33.
The appropriation for aid to the
AGRICULTURAL societies made by the
last legislature is the largest since
the law was enacted and it's encour-
aging effect is found in the large
amount of premiums paid to exhibit
ors this year. The cash outlay for this
purpose, as made by the societies in
conformity with the Legislative act.
amounted to $192,71S.77.
\ According to Mr.. Chase, state aid
to county fairs has been of material
benefit in an agricultural and COM
munity way. 1t, has stabilized quite
few tottering agricultural organiza-
tions and at the same time it has
given to the county fair movement
a degree of permanency which augurs
well for the future of the societies.
In this years division of the aid near
ly every county in the state is inter
ested. In all 90 societies participated.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Dec S.-England is looking
to her own interests-tirst, last and
all the time--frequently with scant
respect to and even to Che detriment
Of Frances legitimate interests.
The above paragraph sums up and
bOils down the concensus of opinions
of certain semi-otficial circles, jour
nalsts and observers on the underly-
ing reasons for the increasingly evil
dent Emergencies and friction be-
tween the British and French foreign
offices.
The bitterness over the Franco
kcmal accord and the Weisbaden
agreement are only the most recent
manifestations of condition that
lies deeper.
The following gathered from many
sources - conversations, newspapers
and unofficial quarters-attempts to
set for the French viewpoint as wide
ly expressed in France on the mat
ter of the highest Importance in the
postwar relations between Euro
pean nations.
For three years France has been
trying vainly to reconcile her vital
interests with England's desires in an
effort to maintain the Entente Cor
dale so necessary to the execution Of
the Versailles treaty. Most of the
time the British and French policies
have been in accordance; but accord
ing to the more bitter comment, that
was only because England's interests
happened to be the same as Frances.
Whenever they divergedf it was
France who invariably made the con-
cessions.
Frequently when England's inter
csts or policies dictated it, the British
foreign office or Lloyd George took
indcpendcnt action sometimes counter
to the fundamental interests OF
France.
The outstanding instances are Eng.
lands dealings with the Soviet gov
crnmcnt through the so-called Soy
let Trade Commission" and Lloyd
Georges frankly hostile attitude to-
ward Poland in the Upper Sllcslan
problem. In the latter instance, ac-
corlng to the French viewpoint, the
British premier's attiture virtually
amounted to supporting Germany
against the interests Of France.
Each Of these actions touched the
most sensitive point in the affairs OF
a nation or an individual-the peck
ctbook and the national security.
Literally thousands Of Frenchmen
have put millions of francs into Rus

large number of boys and girls who
leave school during the grades and

STRIKING PACKERS GIVE
WAY TO STATE TROOPS
(By United Press)

St. Paul, Dec. 8.-Completely
abashed by the presence of national
guardsmen, striking packing plant
employees here today became peace
full pickets instead of surly rulers of
the stockyards. The soldiers took
complete charge of the situation. Not
a charge was fired, not head was
cracked.
A score of packing plant employees
and ke-breakers, filing into the
plant to go to work, had the protec-
ton of the troops today. Union Off
Gals said none of the strikers were
going back. Swift & Company said
they wouldn't take them back if they
wanted to come. Peaceful pickets
were carrying signs instead Of clubs
today.
