POSITION CALLS FOR ABILITY
EnaIIshman Chosen to Administer A.
fairs In 'ealem Has Been
Given Hard Task.

The office of governor Of Jerusalem,
once occupied by Pontius Plate. is
now held by Col. Ronald Storrs, a
graduate of Cambridge university and
son of the dean of Rochester college,
England.
His task is one to test the admins
trative ability Of any man. Jerusalem
Is a city of disunions, where what
ever may come of the future, for
the moment Zionists and Arabs are
passionately divided, and to steer a
Just path between them and induce
them to join him on that path Is thank
less work.
1t is to that task, however, that he
chiefly devotes himself. Twice week
he has meetings of his favorite pro-
Jerusalem society, where French, Ital-
ians, British. Americans, rabbis, Zion
lists, leaders, commercial men Of stand

MIR. McAdoo Speaks Out.

We have long had suspicion,
which is now rapidly growing into a
conviction, about the Hon. VIM.
Gibbs McAdoo, former Secretary of
the Treasury, Director-General of
the Railroads, head of the Federal
Farm Loan Board, etc. That convic-
tion is that he has more common
sense, more courage, more construc-
tive ability, and a better understand
ing of the peoples needs than any of
the other men who have figured in
President Wilson'S administration.
Right now, for example, when Sec
retary Houston and the Federal Re-
serve Board do not know how to do
anything else but play safe and sit
tight on the lid, Mr.. McAdoo has
spoken out strongly for more elias
tic and constructive attitude on the

League of Nations Member.
bership Held by Forty-nine
Countries.

New York, Jan. 16.-The league
of nations will be one year old to-
day. It's membership now comprises
49 nations representing, it is estl-
mated, ,260, 100000 people, or three
fourths of the worlds population OF
1,6O5, 100000. Eleven additional
states with total population of a.
100000 have formally applied for
admission, while it is known that
Germany with it's 6O,O0O,OOO people
wants to join as soon as she is given
a chance. This leaves about 100000
600 of the worlds inhabitants COM
pletely outside the league.
The league began its life when the
council met for the first time in PARIS;
at;s st. the snmmoas of Preaid est Wilson
on anuary 4 s,als2 20, with 22sa mem
fbers. By the time the first meeting
of the assembly was held few
months ago, the membership had in
creased to Al. Eight have since been
added.
At the time of its birth the league
had no quarters of its own but to-
day it is installed in its permanent
seat at Geneva where an old hotel
has been transformed into the Palace
of the Nations. The general secre-
tariat, under Sir Eric Drummond, has
a staff of more than 800.
There have been II meetings of
the council of the league and most
of the subsidiary or semi-independ-
ent bodies contemplated by the COW
enant have been brought into exist
ence. These include the internation-
al court of justice, the first institu-
tion of it's kind in the worlds history;
machinery for the registration OF IN
ternational treaties; commissions to
deal with disarmament, mandates,
economic blockade measures, public
health, international statistics and
the international labor office.
Preparations have been made for
bodies to deal with international
communication and the suppression
of the white slave traffic and the crea-
ton has begun of permanent ma
chinery for the regulation of inter-
national credits and the economic re-
habilitation of countries ruined by
the war. Friends of the league point
to it's intercession in the Poland
Lithuanian and Swedish-Finnish dis
putes, and the latter over the Aland
Islands, as among it's achievements,
although both cases await final settle
ment. They also enumerate as stand
ing to the leagues credit the repa-
triation of more than 100000 war
prisoners and campaign against ty-
phus in Poland. They say it has fur
nished government for the Saar
district, formerly German, and that
it has helped Danzig to assume its
position as a free city under the
leagues special protection.

FARMER OWES MUCH TO MULE


The mule. like everybody else, has
his place. He In considered a bad
actor. Fathers caution their sons
about going near any animal with long
ears and ropy tail. The sons know
what the animal will do because they
have been looking over the funny
paper" each Sunday and were de-
lighted In seeing the mule fold up and
let loose with a kick that sent a man
through the side of q barn or over
rhe fence. But In spite Of this un-
desirable advertising the mule Is with
us today on more farms than ever
before. He Is q hard and rugged
worker and Is especially adapted to
the more hllly farms Of our agricul-
turai sections. Even through the
Middle West there are some counties
that have more mules than horses. In
1867. the mules of the United States
numbered $4,000. with an average
value OF $685.. In 1890 the number
was 2.321 900, valued ut $7823. by
1914 the number had increased "a
4.123.00O. with q value OF $ll9S4 per
head On January I. 1920. the num-
her was 4.095.0O0 and the value per
head was sl41.

popularity. In many localities taking

More than 200 people. notified of
the expected event, had gathered on
Main street while many others lined
the hillsides. Three dogs had been
entered by their owners for the fight,
but fierce black Airedale was unan-
imously chosen to start the fracas,
the other dogs to be held In reserve.
Betting was heavy and the whole
camp was tense with barely subdued
excitement as the dogs, eager for the
mix-up. strained at their heavy
leashes.
A number Of applicants wanted to
unloose the badger. but nearly every
one. having bet money on the out
come. was disqualified. The New
conner, anxious to mix in, expressed
his willingness to do the job. some
what reluctantly 1t Is true. as he
naturally felt the heavy responsibility
entailed-his word would be law and
thousands of dollars were up on the
outcome.
Bravely he pulled the heavy chain,
releasing the badger-and swiftly he

bravery to turn at last. battered and

mass of crockery and dogs and the
