A new question has been sprung in
connection with the holding of Presi-
dent Harding's disarmament confer
ence. The intimation got abroad that
it would be held behind closed doors
and there has been prompt and en-
phatic protest against proposition of
that kind.
If ever a conference should be held
in public it would seem to be one in
which the whole world has such q
keen interest. The problems to be
discussed are vital to every country.
In so great a matter as the disar-
mament of the world there should be
no attempt at "secret diplomacy" a
policy which has been responsible for
most if not all the great wars of the
past.
Let the disarmament conference be
open to the public, so the world may
know just what is said and done. To
hold a secret conference on a matter
of this kind will create distrust and
may cause the failure of the whole
undertaking.

Our national problems are our in
dividual problems, multiplied about
one hundred million times. There are
that many people in the United States.
If we live beyond our means, we
become hard up.
If we squander our money on fool
ish things, we find it difficult to buy
the necessary things.
If we fail to guard our health, we
become ill.
If we continually try to get the
best of our neighbors, they become
suspicious of us and we have no
friends.
sff we gos about with chip on our
shoulders, we have to be on the look
out for fight.
The things that are the matter
with US a nation are merely the things
that are the matter with us as indivi-
duals.
And the rules of conduct that will
insure us peace and prosperity as in
dividuals will also insure us peace
and prosperity as a nation.

"The Bible Itself Makes No Claim of
InfallibiIity," He Says.

what is the Bible?" was the sub
ject of a sermon in the Unitarian
church Sunday morning by the Rev.
Clifton Merritt Gray.
Rev Mr.. Gray first called attention
to the difference between the old and
the revised versions of his text,
which was taken from I. TIM, 3:16.
The King James version reads Every
Scripture is inspired by God" while
the revised version reads Every
Scripture inspired by God 4"
1.-The Bible itself makes no claim of
infallibility," said the speaker THE
claim has been made for it. and 1t has
been a fruitful source of misunder-
standing Bible infallibility has been
the greatest foe to progress. 1t split
Professionalism into warning factions,
and Slapped its strength. Tho Catho-
lie church claims an infallible church
the Protestant, an infallible book.
The advantage is ons-the side of the
Catholic, inasmuch as it has only one
infallible interpreter, while orthodox
Protesta ntism has. as many inter-
prefers as 1t has individuals.
, "Tbe so-called higher critic" con-
tinued the Rev. Gray, "is not a foe to
the Bible, but its friend. Robert J.
Ingersoll never would have written
his Mistakes of Moses had he known
the first principles of higher criticism.
Those who condemn the Bible should
first read it, and those who see in
higher criticism an enemy to religion,
should first know what they are talk
ing about. The very best scholar
ship of today in all denominations is
interpreting the Scriptures by using
the methods of higher criticism.

FOR BIC KAN POOL
Wool Growers of State Plan to
Sell Own Product.
Last Years Shearing In State
Was Million Pounds.
WApKCT LAC pcEN cTArNANT
MARKET HAS Been STAGNANT
One Boy Got Eight Cents for
Twelve Pound Fleece.
New Scheme VIII Cost Farmers
Three Cents Per Pound.

Manhattan, Kan, May 23.-Kansas
sheep and wool growers are making
arrangements for a wool pool week.
which probably will be set for the
first week in June. During this week
all the wool in the state is to be load
ed onDcars and shipped to the National
Wool Warehouse & Storage company,
a farmer owned cooperative firm in
Chicago.
Kansas wool growers have learned
that ii pays to handle the marketing
of their wool from the time it leaves
the farm until it is sold to the manu-
facturers. according to c. G. Filing,
temporary manager of the Kansas
Sheep & Wool Growers COOPERATIVE
association. The Kansas wool pool
last year amounted to about one mil
lion pounds and was made up of wool
belonging to $500 growers. More than
thirty counties pooled their wool and
shipped it to the Chicago company
which insures the wool and sells 1t
direct to the manufacturers.
WOOL Market Stagnant.
Because the wool market has been
sta gnant the past year not all OF the
1920 wool clip of the state has been
sold but that which has been sold has
brought satisfactory prices, Mr.. Filing
states. Last week more than 1900
pounds of Kansas half blood wool was
sold at 20 cents a pound. Previous TO
Inns SAFE all IllG LNdilooo 49,
had been sold at Is cents. all Of the
black bury at 10 cents, and all the
tag ends al cents. The total for
handling the wool previous to its sale
was about cents a. pound.
How these prices compare with
prices obtained by those who marketed
their wool thru commission houses
may be seen by the fact that the Kan
sas state Agricultural college, which
is said to produce the best wool IN
Kansas. was forced to take 10 cents a
pound for its clip. The college could
not take advantage of pooling as there
was no pool in Riley county.
Other examples of selling direct 10
commission companies were given by
Mr.. Filing: Wolfe Woodland, Maize,
Kan, reported to Mr.. Filing that he
had received only2 cents a pound, net,
for his wool.
Edmond Lodge, a 13-year-old boy of
Eureka, Kan, received four 2-cent
stamps as the net returns for a IL
pound fleece. For several years the
boy has marketed the wool from his
one sheep thru the regular channels
of trade. In 1917 he sold the clip to
Kansas City commission house and
received 1851. net, or 81 cents a
pound. In 1918 the clip brought $6.6S
Nor Sc cents a pound. In 1919 he got
A3 cents a pound or total of $5.1S
for the fleece. These figures repre-
5. - the returns after all expenses
were paid.

Locals Defeated by Vinland and Has

Topeka high school lost two games
Saturday. An auto ride to Vinland
seemed to extract from the locals suf-
ficient pep to enable Vinland to beat
them. 1t was a hard fought game,
ending 1 to in favor of the small
town club, but the defeat and the exer-
ton together seemed to take the little
remaining ginger from the Topeka
club. When they met the Haskell
Indian Reserves in Lawrence in the
afternoon they went down to a 26|to o
defeat. Topeka used three pitchers
in an effort to stop the Indians, but to
no avail. Blackbear held the visiting
team to four hits.

florists who have been disregarding
barricades set up by construction
crews on the newly paved portions of

coming to brief. :
A few yards beyond the barricades
they encountered planks studded with

flat tires and when workmen ap-
preached to ascertain the extent of
the damage. the motorist sped away
despite his flat tires, apparently antic-
ipating the visitors motives were not
sympathetic.
