CURZON'S SPEECH
OPENS ARGUMENT
IN LONDON PRESS
Fire Eaters Favor French
Policy and Lambast
Bri tish Government,
While Those Favoring
Peace Inclined To Sup
port Curzon's View

London, Nov. 25.-Foreign Minis
ter CruZon's remarkable address yes
terday, in which he declared that is
France pursued an individual and
separate policy she would not, in the
long run injure Germany but would
fail to protect herself, draws charac-
teristic comment from the morning
newspapers The editorial writer's
maintain that the attitude which they
have consistently followed as regards
the French military policy, the sec
tion of opinion which sees in France
militaristic, revcngeful spirit up
holding Lord Curzon and those who
are constantly distrustful of Germany
commenting adversely on his utter
anceS.
While Lord Curzon S address was
directed primarily to the Washington
arms conference, it was clearly an in
timation to France of the effect of
that country's attitude toward dis
armament as voiced at Washington
by Premier BRAND.
The Daily Chronicle which is close
to the government, printed an edi-
torial yesterday somewhat along the
lines of Lord Curzon's speech. 1t
makes no comment this morning but
in it's political notes says that the
government has been obliged to take
a very serious view of the effect of
Premier Brands Washington speech
and that the issues involved are now
under consideration by the cabinet.
The Daily News says the foreign
ministers grave utterancs is entirely
true.
On the other hand the newspapers
which have consistency supported
the French attitude are displeased
The Times. in rather colorless ed
itorial, says that the speech is re-
markable less for what was said than
for what was not said, and implies
that it is defense and >an apology,
rather than a clear statement Of con-
structive policy. 1t interpretS Lord
Curzon's veiled illusions" as intend
ed to explain that "the manifest in
adequacy of the British foreign poll
cy was a result Of the war; Great
Britain not being able any longer to
act independently. Regarding refer
ences in the speech to Frances indie
pendent action at the Washington
conference, the newspaper declares
that the British policy has not
been consistent since the war,
citing the differences with France

Maintenance System Satisfactory

Madison, Wis.--The maintenance
system of the Wisconsin Highway
Commission with its method of patrol
was adopted in 1918 and is proving
highly satisfactory. The highway
system is divided into patrol sections
ranging from five to twenty miles in
length. The team sections average APP
proximately seven miles, the tractor
sections thirteen miles and the motor
truck sections twenty miles in length.
On team patrols the patrolman is paid
an average salary of $1,000 per
month, he furnishing a satisfactory
team and wagon, and the county fur
nishing the balance of the equipment
necessary. On tractor patrols the
county furnishes the entire equip
ment, paying the patrolman an aver
age salary of $125.00 per month and
in each case furnishing an operator
for the tractor Or truck in addition.
There are employed at the present
time Oil patrolmen of which 112 oper-,
ate motor truck patrols, 81 tractor pa
trolls, and the balance team patrols.
| The total expenditure for maintenance
of the system for the season of 1920
was So, 125, 900, of which $1,625,000
was expended on patrol maintenance
and the balance on resurfacing old
gravel and in new grading. The av-
erage cost of earth road maintenance
| was $187 per mile; gravel 1884 per
| mile; stone macadam $40 per mile;
and concrete $500 per mile, of which
amount S65 per mile was for the main
| tenance of the concrete slab and the
| balance for shoulders, bitches, etc.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market

Edgerton, Wis, June "a, 1921.
The transplanting of the 1921 crop
is finished. That is the bulk of the
acreage is taken care of, and what
ever is left to be set is in the way Of
an after thought, because there is an
abundance of plants and no crowding
of the season. The fields that were
planted between the 9Th and 18th of
June are looking good. The plants
had an even start and the weather
conditions favored immediate growth.
The cut worm plague, usually one Of
the inconvenience TO be contended
with, has this spring been almost en-
tirely absent, and so far very little re-
planting has had to be done due to this
cause. The weather of last week was
marked by very high temperatures,
the thermometer lowering around the
90 mark every day, has not pushed
the growth of the plants unduly, and
the fields have been in fine condition
for early cultivation.
The market for the 1920 unsold por-
ton has taken no decisive upturn for
the better. Crops that have changed
hands have moved on the basis of the
low. level of prices, and at that few
crops have moved.
Shipments out of storage have been
largely confined to bundle goods held
by the stemmers. The Lorillard ware
houses have moved several carloads
each week of these goods. Shipments
of old packed tobacco continue most
restricted.
The association warehouses with a
few exceptions are still asserting and
packing 1920. The Edgerton Ware
house company has about 80 days
work yet to do to complete its pack
ing.-Edgerton Tobacco Reporter.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol.
lars Earned

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs
but a few cents, and a bottle of it in
the home often saves doctors bill of
several dollars.
