THE WORLD AGAINST 1T.

1--WE note with only modified horror says the New
York Evening Post, that a fell conspiracy is under
way to deprive the League of Nations of a living and
drive her into the cold, cold world. We are told that
Japan and the United States are engaged in direct ne
gotiations concerning zap, Shantung, immigration,
and alien land neutrality-suspicious. the aid of the
League of Nations. From Washington comes the
news of a congress growingly ~insistent upon arma-
ment discussion with Great Britain and Japan-with-
out the aid of the League of Nations. France is dis
cussing with Germany the reconstruction of the de-
vastated regions and the formation of an economic
ntente-withou the aid of the League of Nations.

LENRooT THE LEADER.

We have had occasion before to refer to Senator
irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin as being progressive
but not radical. He is a bright and shining light in
the United States senate in the Harding admins
tration. He is an independent fighter. He is NOT
afraid to vote quite alone if he believes he is right.
He has been an earnest advocate of keeping national
expenditures down, in harmony with the Republican
platform and campaign and in keeping with the real
needs of this country.
On the floor of the senate he went down to defeat
with about eighteen others in his attempt to cut about
ninety million dollars off from the naval budget, but
he warned the senate then that whereas its members
were more or less secure for six years, that the peo-
pie of this country would register their disapproval
in re-electing members of the house next year. Does
the house believe it? 1t appears it does. 1t did the
very thing that LenFoot asked to have done in the
senate and then the senate CAM to that way of
thinking.
We say with the late Theodore Roosevelt: Watch
Lenroot.'

the aid of the League of Nations. Public opinion in
this country and in Great Britain is increasingly alive
to what can be done for world peace by these two
countries united in friendship-withou the aid Of the

Other enemies Of the league are no doubt at work

THRONES ALL OCCUPIED.

How come those Irish maidens, who came across
the sea to embark upon a career in moving pictures,
to conclude that there was a shortage of ambition in
the same direction in this country?
Every girl who sits in the audience knows in her
heart how much better she could put it over than
the young lady who is doing her best on the screen;
and what is more a whole lot of them go and try il.
At least enough to supply any demand that might
arise.
There hes been no distress signal sent out by the
producers for talent that we have heard anything
about. d
Not doubling or disparaging the histrionic ability of
the Irish girls we are reasonably certain that there
are no movie crowns lying around without a claimant.

Jack johnson, the ex~-heavyweight pugilist, now at
Leavenworth, will be released, by expiration of his
term July z. While he does not deserve anything at
the hands OF the government, it would harm no one
to grant a few days bonus to enable him to attend
the Jersey City festivities and see the worlds great
est bout in a profession in which he himself was a
wonder a few years since.
The world may not have any respect for johnson
as an individual for good and sufficient reasons, but
most everybody has respect for his former fighting
ability.
AS a matter of good craftsmanship and courtesy
to an ex-champion of the world the department of
justice ought to release johnson in time to reach the
ringside before the gong sounds.

WARN CATTLEM ME N OF BLACKLEG, WORST
 IF BOVINE DISEASES

The live stock sanitary board is sending out warning to cattlemen to guard against black leg" There have been no rep0ts of a prevalence of the a,lme mt which is the most fatal of all tc cattle, but it is pointed out tha. the conditions are right for the inception and spread of it, as cattle are more susceptible to it when un- dergoinS a change from a period of short feed to one in which they rap idly take on fat. They are more sub ject then to invasion by the bacillus.
 A very little neglect, says the board, might result in the loss of cattle in Arizona to the amount of S1,000,000. It is pointed out that in some years when the disease was neglected, cat tlemen suffered losses of twice that amount. There was never a time. says the board, when the conditions for a spread of the disease were more ideal.
 The board therefore is encouraging cattlemen to vaccinate their stock. The state buys vaccine in large quan- titles and sells it to stockmen at ex- actly cost In three years the board has dispensed 100000 pounds of it in this way and has saved the live stock industry millions of dollars. The preventive effect of the treat ment has been admitted by cattle men.
 But what is done must be done | quickly. The attack of the diseases is sudden and its course brief and always fatal. A COW may be appar- ently well one day; there is an ap- parent stiffness of the forelegs the next day, and the next day there is a carcass.

LAWS DIVERT IMMIGRATION

ROME.-Italian navigation lines between Italy and America are hav- ing great difficulty in finding busi- ness fer ther liners at the present moment, due to the enactment of the present American immigration law. To meet the difficulties the Naviga- zione Generale ltaliana line has di- rected part of its ships into 6 new Italian Canadian service.
 This is the first Italian line that has been established between Italy and Canada. The other steamship companies are also occupied on the problem of finding other fields for the surplus Italian population. IL is expected that one or two more Italian companies will commence sailings to Canada. diverting their present New York service to that effect.

Most men are apt to think that if a fabrics all-wool, that's all there is to it. When, as a matter of fact, there are a lot of all- wool fabrics that are a heap worse than cot ton mixtures.
 First, there's the wool itself = mustn't be too wiry or harsh.
 Then there's the weave. If too loosely woven, the fabrics sleazey. And so on.
 Just as important to know how woolens are constructed as to know they're all-wool.
 The best of every thing men and young men wear. Also Sport ing goods.and luggage.
