The day after her arrival Jean,

ranch house and found 1t simple but
not unattractive. Beside her own
room and the big living room there
was one other smaller room Whlch

Mana, the Indian woman, shutned
around here and did the cooking. she
also attended to the work OF the
house. so that there was little Tor
Jean to do.
The men who worked on the ranch
slept in one of the outbuildings which
lay along the corral, and as marx
spent ali of his time that first day
riding round the place Jean saw little
of him.
In the afternoon her trunks arriv-
ed and she got out her riding Things
with some eagerness. She put on
the suit of green corduroy and the
shining leather boots, and, with soft
black tie under the loose collar OF her
silk blouse she might have been
dressed for riding party at Piping
Rock.
Mark, coming up to the house,
found her in the living room, sitting
with one slim leg thrown carelessiy
over the other. She had been afraid
to venture alone into the corral, for
although certain that her new Things
were becoming she was not at all
sure of their appropriateness.

"WelI. come on out and We'll pick

She followed him out of the house

curiously and Mark said CURLY:

The man called Frank touched his

while Jean stood her ground, her

DISARMAMENT
Senator Says U. S. Will Suffer
Huge Loss II Borah
Resolution Passes.
By SENATOR JOSEPH l. FRANCE,
written for Universal Service.


A resolution by Senator Borah
authorizing the President TO take up
the question of disarmament with
Great Britain and Japan will prob
ably be reported from the Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
morrow.
1t provides that proposed in
creases in our battleship building
program shall be curtailed 80 per
cent during the ensuing year and
so per cent for each succeeding year,
on condition England and Japan
will consent to curtail their building
programs in q similar manner and
like degree.
SCHEME ATTRACTIVE.
ITO peace lovers and friends OF dis
armament the scheme seems attrac-
tive and feasible. They speak OF
America paving the way for world dis
armament by showing her own will
ingness to disarm. The fact that Great
Britain and Japan, the only remaining
strong naval powers are to curtail their
building programs in concert with the
United States makes the plan doubly
attractive.
Nevertheless, / intend to fight the
proposed measure to the end, belieN-
ing II to be fraught with danger to
our country and program that Great
Britain and Japan may well accept
with "a hidden smile. My reasons for
this decision are as follows:
Congress in 1916 adopted a naval
building program providing for the
construction of ten first class battle
ships and six battle cruisers, the
rind N ion n nytpnI
three years. The total cost will be
not less than S200OOO,OOO.
THAT program has been partly car
ried out. Eight or more of the battle
ships and practically all of the battle
cruisers are well under way and CON
tracts involving millions of dollars
are outstanding for fabricated steel
TO build the remaining ships.
Great Britain has at present not
a single capital battleship in course
Of construction, and is concentrating
almost exclusively ON improving
methods Of undersea and air lighting.
Japan has adopted an extensive naval
building program. but has not yet
proceeded to carry it into effect.
The effect OF this naval holiday
plan would therefore, be to force us
to halt our building program. scrap
our half-completed battleships, and
cancel contracts for steel and other
fittings that would cost many mil
lions of dollars. while our naval
rivals, Great Britain and Japan.
would suffer no loss or inconvenience.
In effect it would guarantee that
the present weakness of our naval
strength as compared to Great Brit
ain would continue. and that we would
not attempt to rival her power on
the sea. The resolution says nothing
about equalization of naval strength.
and provides only for cutting down
present and future building pro-
grams.
Doubtless Japan and Great Brit
ain would eagerly seize such an OPP
portunity if it is presented. but we
will be showing poor craftsmanship
to do such a thing. II our present
naval program is carried to conclu-
sion we will have within few
years the greatest navy in the
world. one that will compel respect
for our flag and our countrymen in
every land.

Archer Wall Douglas Hopes for
Return Of Prosperity in
Next 3 Months.

The year 1921 opens with poor
but sound" business conditions
throughout the United States and
promises for better conditions by
spring, according to the seminar
nual business review of Archer Wall
Douglas, chairman of the Committee
on Statistics and Standards Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
WANT BETTER TEAMWORK.
A determined and constructive eff
fort is being exerted TO bring about
a change for the better by teamwork
and cooperation, Douglas stated. En-
tire absence OF any apprehension OF a
money panic is the most encouraging
feature of the situation, according to
Douglas.
How long the present situation will
last is a subject OF much speculation
and inquiry" says Douglas. 1.-THE
general thought is that the winter
months will be quiet and that as
spring opens there will be an ap-
probable change for the better.
an the cotton section there are
those who feel that the first six
tinuous monotony of dull business.
In the Industrial dihtricts there is a
general feeling that the situation
will improve when prices OF commodi-
ties reach n figure that will tempt
the ultimate consumer to begin pur-
chasing for other than his immediate
wants. 1t is rather significant that
some sales. can be made at bargain
figures, but very few at moderate
concessions. The answer apparently
Is, therefore, that when the readjust-
ment now in active operation has re-
suited in a sufficiently low level of
prices for manufactured comm ODDITIES,
business in the industrial districts
will assume more normal proportions.

The farmer is particularly short of
funds since he has marketed so small
portion of his crop, and as the
country banks are already loaned up
to their limit it is difficult--in fact,
almost impossible-for the merchants
and farmers to obtain further credit.
The farmer is most unwilling to
sell his products at present low fg-
ures, and is not doing so. save under
stress of necessity or because of
pressure brought by merchants and
banks to settle his accounts.
From the viewpoint of the farmer,
