But the fat man of 30, 40, or even

Because he looks as though he

Because he takes up two seats in

Because he is too chubby TO be
decorative, and too clumsy TO be

Because he cheerfully let's every

must lay down all your romantic

OPEN THE DOORS.

IF we are TO have world safe for democracy,
we must begin to act like a democracy, not con-
tinue TO ape the pOnderous secrecy and poppy
cock of the outvorn autocracies. Secrecy was
their strongest weapon. 1t is our one vital dan
ger. Without publicity-such publicity as for in
stance the American congress has or the British
parliament enjOys-thc conference of the allies
will become feudaI council and its final agree
ncnt war-breeding alliance"
This is the warning of William Allen White editor
publicis and patriot in issue of Golfers in
appeal for sessions of the disarmament con-
ference
The need of such demand the part of the
American people is emphasized by the first meeting
Of the American delegates :he immediate letter
of Pres't Harding warning the PEOPLE that they must
expect complete disarmament.
The delegates named stated to be in agree
that while they might favor publicity it would
be dangerous to offend the European and japanese
statesmen to announce such position and that the
others may demand secrecy.
Prest Wilson held the destines of the world back
ed ne by the hopes. the ambitions the de-
sires Of human beings of all nations. when he de-
clared for open covenants openly arrived at" He
had appealed TO the heart Of above the desires
OF autocratic rulers.
ference and there began that haggling over physi-
cal possessions. his power went and the thing he
most desired League of Nations that would mean
universal reace-went with it when he outguess-
cd by the European diplomats sent there to get
terial things.
There is yet time to save this situation and to make
this conference OF to the world, despite the
timidity and the fears Of the in high places
If the people Of America demand that they and
the peoples of every other nation watch these men
who are sent TO represent them the doors can be
opened and there VIII be less danger that selfish
trades bad bargains evil for the sake of
expediencv. will wreck the hopes of the world.
Let Mr. White sound again his warning which IS
written to you:
I'VE are about enter either quadruple al
lance that will bind through our financial
holdings into the heart of the worlds great
tragedy or we are about 10 write a clause of the
Teaoue of Nations that viii have the republican

of Europe and hazard our destiny?

to the corn field: first he tested the
soil in AZ places for acidity and found
each place acid. Next he put $500
pounds of lime on the soil per acre

tinued, 81 find a 2-12-2 fertilizer

soon gets a two weeks start of any
corn not fertiliZed" "Will CONNER
cial fertilizers ever take the place of
barnyard manure and green manure
crops ?" was asked. "Never" was the
reply. 1t requires humus to keep
the soil particles apart and allow air
and heat to get in the soil, also to
retain soil moisture and plant food.
A field that has plenty of humus will
never get to hard to pillow during the
summer, Mr.. Soles continued. If any
man sells load Of straw from his
farm he is a robber. Last year he
kept about 2 or A feet Of straw in the
barn yard all fall and winter to be
packed down and made ready for the
fields this spring and as result had
several hundred loads of manure to
spread this spring and summer.
Mr.. Soles is a believer of small
farms, or better intensive work ra-
Their than extensive. He likened soil
to bank which gave an enormous
rate of deposits but which would not
honor the farmer who had neglected
to keep his soil account good.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

ARTICLES dealing with any public matter will
be published under this head. when signed by
with the publishers opinion. u you have any
subject OF general interest TO write on. you
are welcome to sDace here
Editor Banner-News -
We, as well as numerous of others.
wish to take off our hat and make
bow to you-offer our congratulations
upon your timely sayings in last
weeks paper in regards to the noise
and hell raising at the band concerts
each Wednesday evening. You GER
tainly told the truth for one time, and
hit the nail squarely on the head. All
law abiding, law loving citizens agree
with you for once, if never again!
But we may not all agree alike as
TO what shall be done with the boys
and girls that go there and begin
their noise making at the opening of
the concerts. The writer does not
think the Honorable Mayor has any
use for his barrel stave. We have
officers Tor at least we are supposed
to have) who are sworn TO enforce the
laws of our city-who are drawing
good salaries from the tax payers,
and it would seem that they should be
on hand to keep order and to take
care Of the unruly ones, who should
know better than to act as they do.
AS you truthfully stated, people
come in from the farm and come to
listen to the music, not the rumble
and tumble of children. And after
the Honorable Council "dished out"
over $500 of the tax payers money
for uniforms, land we questioned they
had the right to do this) it would
seem that it is up to the Honorable
Council, in part, also, to see that we
have the concerts, and not disappoint
lot of people, as was done on last
Wednesday evening.
Last, but not least of all, the
parents should also take a hand in
the matter of dicipline of their chill
dren at these concerts. Many of them
know not where their children are,
however, but no one wishes them TO
use the concert nights for a might
off" to make it a jubilee. But, on the
other hand to make the concerts en-
loyable and pleasing to all the people
high and low, rich and poor.

suit of the staying of j. Bolton Ken

Charles E. Erbstein of Chicago. her

moved dismissal of the charge against
her on the ground that she had not
been brought to trial within sixty days
after her arraignment as provided by
California law.
District Attorney Woolwine several
days ago made charges against Erb-
stein in an effort to prevent his ad-
mittance but the court overruled these
today. Erbsteins motion to dismiss
will be argued next Friday.
E,rbstein announced that Mrs.
Obenchain probably would tell in de-
tall her story of the killing of Ken
