He could not hope. he decided, that

they must have admired him for his

without weapons. Dale recalled the
fact that the Balls were not originally

being forced to fight during the Civil

better judgment. They saw Wilson
sign his name to the covenant. and
they thought the thing was done.
In their countries, when the head
of the nation signs his name to a
treaty, the thing is done. In the
majority of the foreign countries
the signature of the head of the ma
ton is final. Even in those nations
which have ratification by another
body that ratification Is perfume
tory. 1t comes as matter OF
course.
When the foreigners saw Wilson
sign the covenant at Versailles they
thought II was final. They thought
that America was from that mo
ment forward a member OF the
league of nations. When their at
tention was called to the fact that
all such covenants and treaties
must be ratified by the Senate they
thought this would be a mere for
maiity. Yet later, when they saw
the debate in the Senate drag IL!

still thought the Senate would rati-

Farley Delegates Ask if

By MARK SULLIVAN.

, The proceedings in the newly as
sembled Senate this week have been
watched by no one with more in
terest than by the foreigners who
arr here for the armament confer
ence. The delegates have watched
the Senate. not with mere curiosity
over an alien and unfamiliar form
of national legislation; they have
watched 1t with an eye to getting
an answer to the question: What
will the Senate 90 about it?" By
it is meant the form in which
will be cast whatever is to be the
outcome of the deliberations of the
conference.
1t just happened that the reas-
sembling of the Senate came on
Monday of this week. coincident
with the lrst high tide of rumor to
the effect that the form which the
take would be a four-power alli-
ance-or. including China, a i've
power-the British newspaper men

and when they and the other for

to expect that the outcome of the
conference would be an alliance, or
a treaty OF q FAIRLY rigid kind, they

the Senate would do about such a
treaty. IL the outcome of the con-
ference should take that form.

ABOUT PEDDLING

Many inquiries by mail and other
wise are being received almost daily
at this office, State Treasury Agent
Madison, Wis, asking whether farm
ers are required to have license tc
sell meat ETC.
Farmers who raise their own beef
or any other product, can peddle OF
deliver it, either in wholesale or re
tail quantities without a license. But
if the beef or other product is pur
chased of other parties and delivered
a license will be required. If farmers
who now receive about two cents a
pound net after transportation charg
es have been paid for cattle can dress
and deliver in the cities and villages
it may bring down the price the con.
sumers are compelled to pay at the
retail market
In connection with this, it might be
interesting to know how a peddleI
has been defined by the Supreme
Court, "a peddler is one who sells
at retail from place to place; going
from house to house, carrying the
goods to be offered for sale with
him."

WAR MATERIAL Is USED
Wisconsin To Get S3,O42,OOO of
the Total of s15O,OOO, 600
Worth of Supplies

Approximately $15O,OOO,0OO worth
of surplus war materials, turned over
by the War Department to the De-
partment of Agriculture, will be dis
tributed through the Bureau of Public
Roads to the various States for road
building purposes by November l.
Under the Wadsworth- Kahn Bill
this surplus war material is sent to
the States with the sole provision
that it be used only for bodybuilding
purposes. A vast accumulation Of ma
chinery, equipment, supplies, and mo-
tor vehicles that was to have been
used in France has thus been divert
ed to a useful peace-time purpose.
Included in these supplies distribute
ed among the States are 27,198 motor
vehicles, mostly trucks, 172 locomot-
ives of various sizes; $4,000 gross
tons of rails; more than 4,5OO, 900
pounds of powder and nearly 10000
tons of TINT.
"A COlnQi1dLlOu SuOW4u6 LOLcl uCllt-
cries of war material to the various
States up to July l, last, places the
value of machinery, equipment, and
supplies SO delivered at $30,648, 779;
of motor vehicles, $74,730,568, and of
spare parts, at $11.731, 424. The total
value of deliveries to the States up
to that date was $117,11O,771. That
figure did not include material to the
value of approximately $11,OO0,O0O
which was retained by the Department
of Agriculture, largely for forest road
work which is not done by the States.
Also, it is believed that the States
have received in addition to that
mately $5,OOO,OOO worth of material
shipped by the War Department from
the various Army camps and not
reported by the States as delivered.
The value of surplus war material
for bodybuilding purposes to Wiscon-
sin is $3,O42, OOO-R hinelander Daily
