dence in the outcome of the disarma-

At North Stratford, ang again at

world peace. He said this country
would go into the conference coveting
no material gain for itself, but seek

NorthcIitfe Sees 4Era Of peace"

Vancouver, B. G. - If the dele
gates to the Forthcoming disarmament
conference in Washington truly and
constantly represent the desires of
their nations, an agreement will be
reached and an era of peace and pros
perity will be opened in tie Pacific that
will extent ultimately to Europe AID
throughout the world, Lord Northcliffe,
English publisher, said in an address
at luncheon given N his lonor by
the Canadian Club here.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes, Lord Northcliffe said, have
"very clear understanding of the mo-
mentous character of the gathering at
Washington, which in my opinion may
well prove to be the greatest and most
pregnant gathering of the kind ever
held.
SIN England" Lord Northcliffe said,
"we are disarming. The British army
is reduced to figure below its peace
strength before the war, while the
navy is weaker, both as regards big
ships and personnel, than it was in
January, 1914"
Statements made Wednesday in the
house of commons on replacing four
obsolete battle cruisers by new vessels
of the post-Jutland type did not essen
TALLY alter this fact, he asserted, as
Britain has at present only one big
ship partly embodying the lessons Of
Jutland, and the new ships cannot be
completed in less than five years
Continuing, Lord Northcliffe said:
"The world is sick and needs time u
recover from the tremendous shock it
has received. What are known as so
cial questions are also pressing upon
US; for while the economic and indus
trial position is not normal, millions Of
men and women who during the war
attained higher standard Of life are
anxious not to be thrust back into pre-
war conditions
Failure of the conference would be
a catastrophe The bad old days Of
competitive ornaments would come
again, and with them the old rancors
and the old fears of war"

Over twenty thousand dollars in currency
good old coin of the realnn-has been handled at
the County Treasurers office in Redwood Falls
half of the tax payment. part of this cash,
so the treasurer says, is probably literal COM
plance with the tax law which states that taxes
must be paid Sin cash." However the currency
brought in this year so far exceeds any amount
expended for many years past, that mere news
paper is moved to wonder if much of the present
financial stringency is not caused by lack Of
confidence; in trusting the old sock" rather than
the banks of the county which have done so much
to merit confidence. Every thousand OF dollars
kept out of circulation through the banks is a
thousand dollars made temporarily useless at
time when its usefulness should be hundred per
cent. Then, too, there is an element of unworthy
secrecy about tia trying to conceal from ones
creditors, ones ability to pay his honest debts.
One man of this community recently transacted
business amounting to nearly nine thousand dol
lars, making the entire payment in bank bills,
many Of them so covered with mold as to be prac-
|tically uncipherable. Such boarding is not in
accordance with any American institution, nor
with the spirit Of American thrift, but rather
hanks back to the old ages when there were no
banks and every mans home was literally, as well
as fguratively, his CASTLE Banks and bankers
were originally designed to help business rather
than to hinder, and so far as we can judge they
have never failed that purpose. Meeting them
half way would 60 far towards solving many pre-
sent day problems.
