Welsh Egg Circle Praised

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. n. Stafford are
delighted with the success and
progress of the Welsh Egg Club,
and hope that more members who
will subscribe to the rules and
regulations, will join. There is a
greater demand for eggs than can
be supplied. Cash is paid and the
best prices possible are obtained.
lit would be well for Jennings
poultry owners to profit by the
texample set by Welsh.
Scout Car No. l, of the Missis-
Isippi River Scenic Highway Port
Arthur to Port Arthur route paid
an official visit to Jennings Satur-
lday. General manager and Mrs. I.
IPierson were in charge of the car
which left Houston, Galveston
and Port Arthur on round trip
Ito Fort William, Port Arthur and
Winnepeg, Canada.
Interesting messages from ma
yors, chambers of commerce, Ro-
tary and Lions Clubs were shown

When routing started it seemed
that the highway would run from
north to Lake Charles and then
through Alexandria into Texas,
but the live wires of the commu-
nifty got busy and used their In
|fuence to have Jennings on the
route. The more tourists that stop
over night here, the better for our
town. Some 300 cities in fourteen
different states and two Canadian
provinces are thus linked with
Jennings.

note in the joys of rolling EN-!

And, for a fact, rolling
up Prince Albert is mighty
easy! P. A. is crimp cut and
stays put and you whisk it
into shape before you can
count three! And, the next
instant you're putting away
to beat the band!
Prince Albert is so good
that it has led four men to

one was smoked before! It's
the greatest old buddy
smoke that ever found its
way into a pipe or cigarette!

cation OF the Treaty oc Versailles.
The Republican members lincu uD

Senator Brandagcc made the
principal speech for The measure.
but neither he nor any other Re
publican could SAY what The out
come would bc-just what the status
OF the United States. Mr. Branda-
see admitted that some kind Of a
separate treaty with Germany
might have to be ncgotiatcd-per-
hapS it would be called Il treaty
OF commerce" instead of treaty OF
peace.
That the country had lost inter
est III the matter in its fierce rest
lcstncSS under the depression caus-
cd by the long delay Of the peace
settlements was reflected in the in
different spirit manifested IN Con-
grcsS. Nobody either pro or con
seemed to care seriously. Having
thrown away the one straight, sane
and sensible course. concerning
the validity Of which there was no
doubt,-that of raiifying the Peace
Treaty of Versailles, which could
have been done two years ago.
everybody on both sides knew that
what was done now couldn't matter
much. The adoption of the com
promise resolution declaring The
stale Of war ended settles nothing.
Neither side could say that i. would
produce results.
The resolution WAS presented 10
the President and signed by him.

WHAT NEXT.

With the Peace Resolution sign
ed. the Harding Administration Is
up against what promises 10 be Inc
toughest diplomatic problem this
country has ever been called on to
solve.
SO far the only chart the Senate
has TO sail by is contained III the
Presidents message of last April III
which he declared:
1T would be idle tn declare for
separate treaties of peace with the
Central Powers on the assumption
that these alone would be adequate.
because the situation is so involved
that our peace engagements cannot
ignore Old World relationship and
the settlements already effected, nor
is il desirable to do so in prcserv-
ing our own rights and contracting
our future relationships.
The wise course would seem to
be The acceptance of the cOn1irma-
ton of our rights and interests as
already provided and TO engage
under the existing treaty, assuming
Of course that this can be satisfac-
torily accomplished by such cXplic-
it reservations and notifications
as will secure our absolute freedom
from inadviSablr commitments and
safeguard all our essential inter-
CStS.'
On the face Of this declaration ii
would seem that the next act Of
the Administration would be to
make treaty with the Allies con-
iirming our rights under the Yer
SaillcS Treaty and at the same time
rcSubmit the Versailles Treaty, with
a recommendation of the alterations
required to excise from il the
League Of Nations and the matters
Of purely European concern, as this
seems to he Mr.. HardingS policy.
But this cannot well be done if
the statement OF The Senate leaders
is correct that President Harding
has assured them that he will not
submit the Versailles Treaty. The
qualifying clause in the declaration
about engaging under the existing
treaty always leaves Il way out,
though Secretary Of State Hughes
is understood TO have performed
the operation of revision and TO
have on his desk the notifications
that would make the Versailles
Treaty suitable 10 engage UNDER"
Dctestable partisanship in mat
ter Of iranSCendcnt, world interest,
has placed the Republican party in
a most uncnviable position posi-
lively ridiculous if ii were not of
such great importance to The coum-
try and to all mankind.

The NEW TARIFF BILL.

the American people introduced in

Jack Sampson was an American

i've feet four and one-half inches
all, red hair, light blue eyes and
freckled face.
He was a sailor on the sub chas-
r 921. They were scouting on the
North Sea about one thousand
niles from the shore. One beauti-
III day about ten o'clock a. m. in
August, 1918, the lieutenant called
out: Gun crews to action. Bring
up powder there. Fritzies'ye come
up hunting for a wallup."
Immediately the gun crews were
their stations. The fore and aft
uns were relieved of their Jackets
I'd powder and shot We're carried

ling tower.
Crash went the fore gun, but it
missed about ten feet. The Hun

hit the wheel house and tore it
o pieces. Bang went the gun at
he aft. Jack had a true aim. The
ihell hit the coming tower and
tipped it off. The German sub
'ent another shell amidships and
blew it in two.
The men rushed up from the en-
cine room, all the men rushed to
he boats, but Jack stayed by the

mo, Toms not here this morn
ing, Ivan. He's been workin' down
to the Bijou picture show ever
since school let out He left for
work early this morning. Have a
nice time to your gran mas? Is
your ma homer"
In order that you will fully UNI
derstand these statements and
| questions, let us explain,
No sooner had school "let out
in Carson than Skeets, or Ivan
Munson, accompanied by his moth
er, had taken the train for his
grandmothers farm, where two
weeks were to be spent vacation
ing.
Skeets Returns
When Skeets had returned after
the IA days he had met with con
siderable surprise.
The day following his return he
had awakened bright and early,
dressed, ate breakfast, helped with
the dishes and then started out to
ludht Calls Uu IlS INO Dtnt pdloI
Tom Burns and Smitty Nichols,
whom he had not seen since the
last day Of school when he had
made his departure from Carson.
Arriving at Toms home, he
whistled the usual whistle, expect
ing his chum to stick his head out
the window and yell, wait a min
ute, will you; I'll be out" But in
stead of Tom sticking his head
out, it was Mrs. Burns, his mother.
Skeets asked if Tom was home.
And Mrs. Burns replied in the
words of the first paragraph,
And Now to Smitty's
Skeets made the necessary an
swers to Mrs. Burns questions and
then left the Burns yard to go on
down the street toward Smitty's
Funny" he thought to himself,
"Tom never said anything to me
that he was going to- work this va
cation. Must have decided mighty
quick"

SKEETS LANDS A JOB

Smitty's wasn't far, so Skeets ar
rived there in just a few minutes.
Again he whistled the signal. But
there was no Smitty. There was
Smitty's mother, however.
Skeets Makes a Decision
mo, Ivan, he started to work the
other day, and is gone all day
When'd you and your ma get back?
