Harding's Selections Notable.

If the American delegation to the Washing
ron disarmament conference finally is made up
from the list tentatively put forward, Presi-
dent Harding will not only have honored him.
self, but the world as well, by selecting the men
best qualified for SO important an undertaking.
When international affairs are under discussion
in the United States the mind of the public in
stinctively turns to Elihu Root Charles Evans
Hughes, Henry Cobat Lodge. and Philander X.
Knox. This group compares with any the coun-
try has even produced in all respects as states
men and patriots, possessed of the faculties that
fit them for the high duties and responsibilities
of representing the nation in important confer
ences or negotiations.
Mr.. Hardings course contrasts strangely with
that of Woodrow Wilson, who could not fore
go the possible distinction Of heading the dele
CATION from the United States to Paris. In
order that his personal prestige might not sut-
fer at any point, Mr. Wilson surrounded him
self by comparatively unknown men; he reso-
lutely declined to invite anyone known in con-
necton with international affairs, save as they
represented his personal views, and for re-
publican he selected about as obscure a mem
Der of the party as might have been found. AS
a representative OF the minority party, Mi'
Harding has under consideration Oscar w.
Underwood of Alabama. This choice is per-
sonai, although Senator Underwood is well
qualified for the service.
Had the president gone to the senate's for
egn relations committee, the choice might well
have fallen on Gilbert Mcneil Hitchcock OF
Nebraska, chairman of that committee when the
democrats were last in control and ranking
democratic member now. Senator Hitchcocks
long service on the committee has made him
familiar with the details and intracacies of our
external relations, and his positive commitment
to disarmament would render him sympathetic
with the objects of the gathering. Should the
president decide for any reason not to select
Senator Underwood as the democratic member
of the delegation, he could very we'll name Sen
ator Hitchcock for the place.
Gossip persists that woman may be given
a place, decided innovation, although woman
has played an important part in many diplo-
matte convocation, although not appearing
openly in the record. Here is a wide opportu~
nifty for the president to exercise his ability by
naming one who will be acceptable to all and
who will reflect the judgment of the executive
by her presence at the council table.

Woman Farmers.

Of the 6,448,366 farms in the United States Al
per cent were operated by women last year, there
having been 261,553 women whose occupation
was classified as farming.
Estimating on the basis of women's demon
strated ability in other occupations it is safe to
assume that the percentage of success and non
success in agriculture as between man and wo-
man farmers will average about the same. 1t Is
not dependent on skill alone. 1t depends OF
course upon the quality of the respective lands
cultivated
There is nothing of record to show that wo-
man farmers are in any way discouraged. None
of them, so far as revealed, is throwing up her
hands in despair. On the contrary, they seem
to be taking hold of the farming job with a
firmer grip OF them, 1870 owned the farms
they operated last year-only 73,02l were ten
ants AS further revelation as to woman's
ability in agriculture we have the fact that 765
women were employed as farm managers. II
these were not good farm managers they would
not be hired to run farms.
1t all comes back to the old story that in
whatever calling the American woman engages
she may be counted on to make good.-New
York Herald.

Another method OF reducing the

an act making Liberty bonds ex-

Of The Bee: Statistics show that

Of 1919 was the banner year of our

D. K. writes: my son, who is
3h years old, plays around, bowels
move regularly, but he belches very
much. I had him to two doctors
and they gave him medicine, but it
seems to have no effect on him."
REPLY.
Very little gas forms in the
stomach. Most Of that which is
belched up is air swallowed with
food. Therefore, my first thought
is that you should do nothing except
teach him to eat slowly and to chew
his food well. BY eating calmly and
slowly. he will not swallow much
air. Nervous children develop q
habit of belching and sometimes of
splitting up the food, and even re-
chewing and reswallowing it. If he
has that habit, or any part Of it,
he can be broken Of it or trained
out Of it, but ordinary medicine does
no good.
