GUATEMALA, April rs (by mail)
"A cattle company financed by Uni.
ted States investors. is negotiating
with the Guatemalan government for
the purchase of 1900 acres of coast
land three miles from Puerto Bar
rios, on the East coast of Guatemala.
The land is covered with dense trop-
ical forest.
II is the purpose of the company
to first exploit the forest for its val.
liable timber, chiefly mahogany. af.
ter which the land will be cleared for
the purpose OF raising cattle.
Cattle raising is said to be the
most profitable Investment that car

cattle was imported here from Hon

Of cattle are being shipped from the
ranches along the southern coast into
Mexico daily and sold at good prices.
Some Of the nswspapers urge the
raising Of more cattle. pointing out

Polish Of wilma have taken
up cudgeis against the League OF Ma
lions. They ~shouldered arms las,
summer and fought Bolshevik sold
iers in defense OF the city and they
assert they will fight again IL the
League should attempt TO send an
international army to police the dis
puted territory in event OF a plebis'
cite.
wilma, at present. is occupied by
General Lacien Zeligowski, and some
10000 Polish soldiers, while repre-
sentatives OF Poland and Lithuania.
with the League of Nations as medi-
ator. have been confering with the
view to Determine the fate Of the VII
ma district. which IL called Central
Lithuania by General Zeligowski and
his adherens.
The Leagues Military Commission
Of Control. which since last fall has
been endeovoring to settle the con-
troversy between Poland and Lithu-
ania, unit; recently made its head
quarters In wilma. The Control Com
mission his never been popular in
wilma. By 4 recent decision which de-
MED worlen the right OF franchise,
should a rlebiscite be held. the Com
mission came into greater disfavor
than v especially among women.
The Commission members contend
that the birth records of Central
Lithuania are SO Incomplete that the
voting Of women would only compli-
cate matters.
II was in consequence OF this de-
cision. and to manifest their disap-
proval, that a crowd Of womeu at
tackled tse Commissions chairman,
Colonel %Chardigny. and spattered his
French uniform with eggs, some OF
which were not exactly fresh. A few
days after this incident the Commits
sion removed It's headquarters from
wilma TO Kovno. which is the seat OF
government Of the republic OF Lith-
uania.
Eight OF the women we're arrested
by the local police authorities, but no
date has been see for the trial.
A petition signed by thousands Of
wilma women has been sent to the
League Of Nations asking for the re-
moval Of Colonel C~hardigny as head
Of the Military Commission of Con.
troll.
The Lithuanians contend for the
Wilma district on the grounds that
wilma was the CAPITAL OF the ancient
state OF LIthuanie. They claim 1t
also under terms of a treaty OF peace
with the Soviets signed In Moscow
last summer.
The wilma Poles contend that the
majority OF the population OF the
wilma distric. Is Polish, and that as
less than three percent OF the popu-
lation OF about 100000 are Lithu-
anians. the state OF Lithuania has
no Just claim to the land under dis
pute.
Vilna's streets are daily filled with
Zeligowski soldiers. all OF whom wear
the Polish uniform. Many Of the Off
GERS have adopred the Zeligowski
Central Lithuania insignia which is
worn on the collar together with the
Polish white eagle. The Police colors
are to be seen everywhere in the
business section OF wilma on holidays
and in most OF the stores and restau-
rants there are pictures OF Joseph
PiIsudski, Poland's chief OF state.

IEsE VALENTINE GAMES TONIGHT
Piercing Hearts

This is a variation Of the tail on

with several hearts on it., Provide the
blindfolded person with a paper arrow
with n pin in one end, which must
pierce one Of the hearts. Have the
hearts numbered 5. 10 and IS, and give
each player a scorecard. Let each one
have two turns Mt piercing the hearts
and put his final score down on his card.
\ prize may be awarded for the highest
score in this, or it may count a certain
number of points toward the score for
the evening.
Cutting Hearts
Have tables prepared with a num-
Der of paper hearts and pairs of scis-
sors. Give each person a heart and Il
pair of scissors and see how many small
hearts can be cut from the large one.
Let this game count certain number
of points on the evenings score. If
there is tic in the number of hearts
cut By two persons, let them "cut 1t
off" between them.
Catching Cupid
Let the partners take turns in this
game. two pairs ut time. Have four
kcwpieS at one end of the room each
with a red ribbon tied around its waist
and extending to the other end Of the
room. Give each player an end of rib
bon and let them race to see which can
roll up his ribbon neatly and reach the
kcwpir first. Continue this until all have
contested, then find the final winner by
a process of elimination, letting the
points gained count on the scorecard for

when somebody exclaimed: "Why, don
YOU know her? that's the girl who was
the joke up here last year !"
And then ! remembered. She had
come day after day with apparently no
hope Of ever being able TO stand on her
feet. to say nothing of skating. Her
ankles turned so that she was laboring
along really on her ankle bones rather
than the runners Of her skates. And the
ache reached up to her eyes. Yet she
persisted.
Going from one instructor to an
other. she tried everybody's advice. One
man told her to have her shoes lined
with leather for ankle support. The
hard. stiff cowhide that the repair man
glued in cut her until the blood came.
But she was determined to skate. She
said she knew she could.
Then one day she went to n sporting
goods store and they found the trouble.
She had been trying to skate with low
bows shoes. Your ankles" they told
her. "are all right; but not so strong
that you can afford the disadvantage
of an improper shoe" She went of
with the new shocs-and skated!
"And then" she told US now. as we
remarked upon her achievement, "the
rest came easy. You see, l love it
that is why I pcrsistcd-I wanted so to
skate. And once got started, l just
naturally danced on skates -
That girl is fixed for life. She needs
no mother or father or husband to take
care Of her. She is better off than q
millionaire because her wealth is the
kind she cannot lose. She is one Of
those people we all envy who seem to be
born with golden spoon waiting for
them-life will just come and lay things
at her feet. Anyway, it will seem that
way.
