ALL EFFORTS'TO AMEND
PEACE TREATIES FAIL;
REED STILL OPPOSING
Bitter Ender" Loses In
All Efforts to Change
Measure
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, Oct. 17.-All efforts
to amend the administration peace
treaty with Germany were defeated
n the senate today and leaders an
ncunced that a night session would
be held if needed tomorrow to reach
! final vote on ratification.
Both supporters and opponents of
the treaty agreed today that the
treaty would be ratified although
perhaps with a margin of only three
)r four votes and that the treaties
with Austria and Hungary would be
accepted Immediately thereafter. The
appointment today of Republican
successor to the late Senator Knox,
Of Pennsylvania, was calculated to
give the treaty advocates an addi-
tional vote.
The amendments rejected today
were offered by Senators Reed, Mis-
souri,, and Walsh, Montana, Demo-
Gratis, and received scant support,
the great bulk of Democrats, as well
as Republicans, voting in opposition.
Senator Reed, one of the "bitter-
enders" in the fight against the
league of nations covenant, proposed
a blanket clause freeing the United
States from all obligations under the
treaty of Versailles.
Senator Wash offered two amend
ments designed to pledge this nation
to poin other powers in protecting
Germany against unjustified aggres-
sion.
Just before the senate adjourned
tonight Senator Reed offered two
more amendments for consideration
tomorrow. One was similar to his
oroginal proposal for exemption of
obligations under the Versailles
treaty and the other would declare

STRING YOUR FAITH ALONG WITH
THAT OF YOUR HOME MERCHANT
IND HELP HIM SERVE YOU BEST

Now what is the explanation of an article
offered in the last year or so at High Prices
later cut and possibly "Cut' again? Was it high
at first? Was it low at last? 1t is fair to assume
that with the 1920 and Fl drive on high prices
many merchants have been hurt. 1t is fair to
assume that if you bought anything year ago
that you can duplicate it now for less money.
Will you be as frank in admitting that your
merchants are in the same boat? They had to
buy year ago too; they could not stop. We
might take clothing for men and women as an
example. Styles change. Prices were high to
that in the fall your merchant was buying his
spring and summer lines. Suppose an attrac,
tive new style or fashion was being introduced
talking about making last years or the year be-
fores clothing do another years service. This
new style or fashion comes to town and you
don't buy. 1t is offered at price showing the
fair profit your merchant has a right to expect
He sees the season going and you don't buy. He
foregoes his reasonable profit and cuts the price
Last years outfits are still doing you service and
with something on hand fast losing all value,
the retailer "cuts" again. He may be consid-
eraby below cost He may not say so In any
event you might be doubtful. 1t is fact, how
ever, that our merchants and particularly retail
merchants, throughout the country have sold
more for less than their investment in the last
eighteen months than has ever been the case in
the history of American merchandising So
that it cannot be said the retailer was high at
first price; can't be said he was wrong in second
price; but it is certain he was low in most cases.
Taking losses has been worry that is not pass
ed. No local merchant can prosper without
your confidence. He must have confidence in
you to have your confidence, so BUY AT
HOME. Confidence begets confidence.
