Without Trespassing on
Prerogatives of Allied
Supreme Council
OUT OF Diff
GUILTY TALKED
United States Objects to
Mandate Giving Island of
zap to Japan

Paris. Feb. 26 (By the Associated
Press = While the American note on
the mandate question has not been con
s;dered in the sessions of the council on
the league OF nations since Thursday
meeting, private conversations between
the members have been in progress wlth
view to finding way for giving sat
isfaction to the Washington govern
ment without trespassing on the pre-
ropatives of the allied supreme council.
DR. Wellington Koo. Chinese member
of the league council. has been active
IN these conferences. It has been var
tnalJy decided that consideration OF
both type A and Type mandates
shall be postponed until later Mean
while the United States may, if it sees
fit, send a representative to confer with
the league council regarding the points
at issue. The difficulty which presents
itself lies in the series c mandate to
Japan, including the island of. zap,
against which the United States has
protested. This mandate was decided
upon by tie supreme council.
1t appears impossible for the council
Of the league TO take any action re-
garding the allotment of the Pacific is
lands under this series Of mandates un-
less the allied governments consent to
have the matter taken out of the hands
of the supreme council.
The league council to-day took up
various questions relative TO the free
city of Dahzig.

AID TO FARMERS is
OUTLINED BY KENON
Senator Tells What Republican Con-
gress Is Doing To Bring
Growers Prosperity.

Washington, Aug. 20.-What the
Republican party in control of Con-
gress is doing in aid of the farmers
of the country is related by Senator
Kenyon of Iowa. He says:
This Congress is going to finish
the session with a record of accom-
piishment along this line that will,
j am sure, be pointed to with pride
in the future.
81 call attention to what has real
= iy been done: In the first place, we
have passed the Curtis bill propos-
ing originally to deposit some $780,
100000 in the Federal farm loan
banks-though, think! that has
been cut down now to around S40,-
900 1000 for the use of the farmers.
That is helpful. Second, the change
OF the law by bill. which just pass
ed the Senate some time ago, propos-
ing to increase the rate of interest on
the bonds of the Federal Farm Loan
Board. That legislation will release
a great deal of money in the country,
which will be for the benefit of the
farmers. Next comes the packer bill,
which has been agreed upon in con-
ference and will be taken up, ] as
sumo, and disposed of within a short
time. Next is the pending bill
which will be passed either in the
form OF the substitute or the origi-
nal bill a relief, as il is hoped il
win be, for agriculture. There is
also the grain exchange bill, which
will be on the program here within a
short time; also the cooperative mar
keting bill, and the bill giving to agri-
culture representation on the Federal
Reserve Board. These measures con-
istitute a great program of legisla-
tive accomplishment for agriculture.
l think this beneficent result has
been accomplished by reason of the
fact that men who may be sneered at
because they assume TO speak for
farmers have been persistent in try
ng TO get thru, regardless of politics,
an agricultural program.
ION other thing should be brought
about, If possible This country can
not stand the present high railroad
rates. The farmers can not stand
them. The case involving many of
these rates is to be heard by the In
terstate Commerce Commission COM
mencing on the 18th day of August.
That case is known as the Kansas
States have Joined with the complain
ant in that case. That will be the
occasion to make a drive for the re-
auction of freight rates on agricultu-

LAST WILD LAND
OF u. S. TO OPEN
Road Will Enter Area Once Frequen-
ted BY Outlaw Bands.

Lander, Wyo., Aug. 20.-The Wind
River extension of the Rocky noun
tain highway, which will be cere-
moniously dedicated tomorrow, is
said to open up to travel the last of
the really wild lands of the United
States.
The Rocky Mountain highway runs
from Denver to Lander. and the Wind
River extension carries it 200 miles
father thru the front door" to yell
lowstone National Park. The total
distance from Denver to the park is
$50 miles.
The dedication will take place at
Twogwatee Pass, the highest point of
the trail, $500 feet above sea level,
where the traveller enters into the
famous Jackson Hole country where
Tracy the outlaw some years ago led
hundreds of deputies a merry chase
in the dense forests and among the
wild canyons.
Governor Carey is on the program
for the principal address and there
will be present delegations from adj
joining states as far east as Chicago.
Secretary of the Interior Fall and
Stephen T. Mather, director of ma
tional park service, who are now in
the West, will try to arrange their
itinerary so that they may participate
in the ceremonies.
1t is said that 400 miles of trout
streams come tumbling down the can
yons into the Wind River along the
trail. Some of them, it is said, never
have been mapped, and there have
been recent discoveries of small lakes
which also were not shown on the
maps. Thru most of the region the
forests, birds and game are under
government protection. Old-style
cowboys still herd cattle on the free
range.

Surgeons agree that in cases OF
Cuts, Burns, Bruises and Wounds the
first treatment is most important.
When an efficient antiseptic is appli-
ed promptly there is no danger of
infection and the wound begins to
heal at once. For use on man or
beast, Borozone is the ideal antisep-
tic and healing agents. Buy it now
and be ready for an emergency.

raj products.
"If the objects can be accomplish
ed, if We can help to take care, as
proposed in the pending bill, of the
surplus, if we can help to create
markets, if railroad rates can be low
cred by the action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, we will have
agriculture on the way back to pros
perity; and when agriculture gets
back on its way to prosperity the en-
tire country will again be prosperoU,.
I'VE have got to couple with it
legislation, | believe, in the days that
are to come, some system of rural
credits for the American farmer.
When we have done all of these
things we shall have done a great
deal for agriculture.
The things l have enumerated,
that will be accomplished before this
season is over in all human probabili-
ty, will be pointed to with pride next
year by the Republicans who will
claim credit for them.
"If this does not mean an advance
in the price of farm products, it does
not mean anything. An advance in
the prices of farm products means
greater prosperity to all, even to the
laboring men in the country.
II think the wisdom of the Senate
in not adjourning about four weeks
ago is not exemplified by the present
situation. There was some criticism
of those from agricultural States be-
cause they were against an adjourn
ment. If we had adjourned not one
particle of this agricultural legisla-
tion would have been passed by the
Congress.

CHICAGO BABY HAS

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-The popular
nursery rhyme about the five little
pigs doesn't fit in the case of Baby
Joseph Witowski one of Chicago's
most recent citizens. There are not
enough pigs to go around. Because
little Joe" is equipped with twelve
toes and Mamma Witowski needs six
little pigs for each foot.
And that isn't all. Joseph has
twelve fingers too. And all those
twenty-four toes and fingers are per-
feet, according to the doctor who

CUT EXPENSES is
ORDER FROM HAYS
nmStcr-Gcncral Laboring To Full
M Party Pledges Orders
Economy.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Postmaster
General Hays is functioning 100 per
cent in his department to redeem the
Republican party's pledges that in
event it was placed in charge, there
would be more business in govern
ment. The postmaster general has
just sent detailed instructions to TO-
GOO postmasters notifying them of the
necessity of cutting their expendi-
lures in every possible way consis-
tent with the maintenance of good
! service. 1t is the intention of Post
master General Hays to reduce the
operating expenses of the postal de-
partment S15,OOO.OOO a year by the
plan which has been worked out and
approved by him and his advisers. In
his statement to the postmasters OF
the United States. Mr. Hays says:
Attention is called o the acute
financial condition of the country and
the urgency of meeting the desire OF
| the President for economy in public
expenditures, as far as possible in the
postal service"
The postmaster aims to eliminate
extravaganza and expensive methods
which crept into the postal service
during and Immediately after the
war To a greater or less extent, the
Postoffice Department participated
in all war work, such as the draft, the
Liberty loans. food fuel and labor
conservation and, in short, all war
activities which touched the civilian
population. This necesstated n vast
increase in clerical force and an in
crease in operating expenses, quite |
aside from the payroll. The war is
over and yet there has been very lit !
tie curtailment in the extraordinary |
expenses or in the auxiliary help or
overtime.
Postmaster General Hays orders the
elimination at once of overtime. and |
also calls upon the postmasters care
fully to revise the working schedules
of clerks and carriers. To assist in
this. there will he an inspection of
the routes OF every carrier and col
lector and very possibly readjust-
ment of routes. In addition cam
paign will be at once inaugurated to
educate the public to the necessity of
and whole-hearted cooper
alton will consist of early mailing by
everyone, equipment of every resi-
dence and place of business with mail
receptacles and, on the part of large
users of the mail, use of pre-cancel-
ed stamps, facing of mail. etc. The
postmaster general believes these re-
forms can be inaugurated and over
head expenses thereby reduced with
out impairing the quality of the pos
tai service.
Addressing the postal employees in
his communication, Postmaster Cen
eral Hays says:
Employees are reminded that Con-
gress has granted them generous in
creases in salaries. They will be eX-
pected to give honest service, full
eight hours, and those who are un-
able or do not have the inclination to
do so are to be separated from the
service. The department will not
require anything unreasonable, but
it expects and must receive full val
ne in the service for the public funds
