AN EXPLANATION
Some Of the members of the Ten
Thousand club have not understood
about the assessment voted for the hard
wood floors in the new club house, feel
ing that the item should have been
taken care of in the contract Those
present when the action was taken un
derstood the situation, and after discus
sion, voted unanimously for the tax.
The cost of the building, with com
mon flooring, was provided for financi-
ally, but if hardwood were used, there
would be an additional cost of some.
thing over 5000. As the loan had been
arranged at the bank to the extent of
security offered and the club had
counted in it's entire balance on the
contract, there seemed to be no way in
sight for the hardwood floors unless the
members would stand the additional
cost and a tax upon themselves.
The building committee, upon voted
authority, ordered the hardwood floors
and now must collect the assessment to
pay for it. They are urging that every
member give the matter immediate at
tention and send or bring the $1.25 to
the club secretary, Mrs. Wilbur Randall,
without delay.

CLASS DAY AT G.. U. Fl. s.

CLASS DAY AT G.. U. Fl. s.
The Senior class Of G. U. II. s. pre-
sented its class day program at the high
school auditorium last night to Il large
and admiring audience. The entertain
ment was much out of the ordinary and
its novel features on the reward of APP
plause after each number.
Quite the most impressive was presen-
tation of the class memorial, beautiful
statute of Lincoln. The presentation
was made by Sam Berry, on behalf OF
the class Of 1922, ad the gift was ac-
cepted by the president of the student
body. Miss Dora Chambers gave the
class prophesy, foretelling the things
that the members will do and the places
they will fill with the vision of pro-
fessional seercss.
A "stunt" by group of the boys
was humorous and amusing. "Things
That Never Happen,' a burlesque, was
given by another class group. "Great
Moments" and "The Wrong House, -
the next two numbers were effectively
portrayed by members, dramatically as
well as humorously.
Miss Grace Mckinney read the class
will, the class song was sung and the
program ended with laughable bur
lesque on grand opera.
Tonight the Seniors will give a re-
ception for the Juniors and tomorrow
evening will occur the last act of the
play, when the graduation exercises will
be staged at assembly hall.
The commencement program will in
clude selections by the orchestra, class

organized thousand dollar clubs. One
of them. at Morrisons Cove, Blair
county, Pennsylvania, has just made
public figures covering its operations.
Six boys began business with a
stock of GAS birds. The flock was
reduced by culling to 321, and these
constituted the working stock. Early
pullets began laying in the fall. The
boys managed the chickens after the
most approved methods. The leader
in the project Matched and sold baby

American Farmers in Canada.

That the Canadian Northwest
should be more insistent than other
parts Of the Dominion on reciprocal
trade arrangements between Canada
and the United States is a condition
naturally arising out Of the fact that
many OF the farmers and ranchers in
Manitoba, saskatchewan and Alberta
emigrated from this country to their
present homes.
When the great prairie lands Of the
Dominion we're thrown open for
homesteaders there was a rush by
farmers in Western States to secure
desirable cites for farms. Many sold
their property in the United States
and moved to Canada at once. but
the more prudent followed the exam
pie of farmers in Ontario and sought
to acquire adequate knowledge of
conditions in the Canadian North
west before finally committing them
selves to the change.
Some persons with little knowl-

in 1913, the year before the war.
But the geographical distribution
of pre-war investments was greatly
modified. Out of the Issues of 1885,
$4,000 in 1913 the United Kingdom
obtained only f35, 1851 900, while &c.
137, 200 went to the colonies and

Government loans, e90,577 800 to the

The volume OF British investments
in foreign lands thus dropped from

The Traffic Policeman.

In American books Of the Victorian
and Edwardian eras praise and ad'
miration for the London policeman
reaches an acme that seems almost
fulsome. That with uplifted hand a
'bobby" or "peeler" could stop a
mighty cavalcade in London's con
gested thoroughfares was almost as
wonderful as when MOSES smote the
rock at Meribah.
Yet to-day one may behold heroic
figure at almost any hour after the
roll of traffic has begun on our ave-
nues. Be the tires pneumatic or
solid, this activity without roar, this
soundless army Of locomotives. while
making pedestrian life a risk tests
the intelligence, the patience and the
wariness of the traffic policeman.
Whether his name of brevity came
from Copps Hill, situated amid the
silences of Boston where the dead
speak not, or from the ancient speech
OF our forefathers in the word for
head, or headship, the "cop" Is 4
saver of life and the guide and friend
of the street crosser.
And who that knows both his Lon
don and his New York well can any
longer award the palm to the trans
atlantic guardian Of the streets?
Surely the American product suffers
not in comparison. Indeed, we doubt
not that feelings OF both respect and
gratitude mingle with thousands OF
Americans as they think Of the dan
gers incurred but escaped, the help
given and the faithful duty done by
"the knights Of the locust" These
are glad to do homage to the vigi-
lance and faithfulness OF the police
man at the street crossing.
To the realities concerning the llv-
ing and unharmed the matter Of fact
statistics for 1921 add pathos. Dur
ing that year 1921 of the police force
in the city of New York were in
jured. Six were killed. four of them
by gunshot wounds, and one died
from injuries received while attempt
ing to stop q runaway horse.
Perhaps some day this vast city
population--larger than that OF sew
eral of our States-may pay public
honors TO the unknown soldiers ever
battling for law, order and safety.

The Presidents Address to the
Farmers.

The Presidents address yesterday
on the opening Of the Farm Confer
ence breathed warm interest in and
sympathy for farmers and the farm
ing industry. 1t threw on the screen
a very complete picture of that In
dustry. 1t told of the many sided
man the farmer must be and the
many difficulties that confront him
in his profession. 1t urged better
transportation facilities for farm
products and recommended coopera-
tion in the farmers purchases and
the farmers disposal Of the things
he has to sell.
It advocated the reclamation for
agricultural purposes OF swamp lands
and the arid lands Of the West 1t
stressed the warm desire Of the Pres
ident that better financial system
be developed for the farmer-a sys-
TEN that shall make money more
easily available for the farmer and
on longer credits.
All this Is good, and what he told
the conference of the position Of the
farmer, of his place in history and
his work during the war. of the vi
tally important part he plays in the
life of the nation is equally good and
interesting.
The speech as a whole, while not
definite and convincing as to spe-
cific, practical ways to bring the re-
lief and help to the farmer that the
President so earnestly desires, and
that all well minded and appreciative
citizens of the country so earnestly
desire, nevertheless furnished as
helpful a keynote to the problems Of
the conference as it must have been
pleasing and agreeable to the men,
bers of the conference.
Obviously it was not the Presi-
dents purpose to do the work of the
conference, but rather to leave that to
the conference itself.

ARMS PARLEY MEMBERS
PRAISE VISCOUNT BRYCE

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 23.-Tributes to
Viscount Bryce were paid to-day by
representatives of the various Powers
participat ting in the arms conference.
Arthur j. Balfour for Great Britain,
Secretary Hughes and Elihu Root for
the United States and Ambassador Jus
serand for France. In turn made ad-
dresses.
Mr. Hughes said the viscount's loss
was felt with especial keenness by the
American people, as he had been "the
mentor Of their youth" mo one" he
added. understood their institutions
better: no one had more keenly appre-
ciated the difficulties in their workings,
and no one had pointed out with greater
accuracy the needs for Improvement"
Mr.. Root said viscount Bryce had
brought to bear most unusual qualities
upon the most serious and difficult prob
lem Of the time, upon which the MEM
bers Of the committee themselves were
engaged. He had, through his careful
studies Of different peoples among whom
he went personally. illustrated the proc
ess Of true International friendship,
Mr.. Root said, better than any other
man.
Ambassador Jusserand, one OF the
few diplomats now accredited to the
United States who was a colleague here
of viscount Bryce, said: Lord Bryce
followed with the keenest interest our
efforts in favor of an idea ever dear to
him throughout his long life, namely, to
increase in the world the effective feel
ing Of good will among nations, foster
the spirit Of liberty and cordially be-
tween honest men and people animated
by honest purposes"
Mr.. Balfour declared that II Lord
Bryce was one Of the greatest political
writer's of his day 1t was because he
knew politics from the points of view
of the scholar. historian. politician and
diplomat.
