Why cuss the warm weather!
The Lord made it, and what is
good enough for Him ought to be
good enough for us.
If we didn't have the warm
weather with it's bright sunshine
we wouldn't have any. crops to
feed us, and if we didn't have
feed we wouldn't long be here,
and if we were not here we would
miss all of the wonderful things
that are created for our special
benefit.
The warm weather is all right
perhaps a little uncomfortable at
times. but quite necessary to our
material we'll being.
Make the best of what the LORD
gives yau and you won't feel like
cussing

INCIDENTS IN LAST
TWO DAYS OF LATE
POPE'S LIFE TOLD

Rome-Some incidents of the
last two days nf the illness OF the
late Pope Benedict XIV have Just
was delirious and these were fol-
lowed by periods of lucidity. He
talked to the prelates at his bed
side about various subjects so
widely different with so little
pause between them that they
were unable always to discern
whether he was in full possession
of his faculties.
A few minutes after he had told
Professor Battistini. Il would
gladly give my life for the peace
of the world" he turned 10 Cardi-
nal Gasparri and said: "One of
my greatest regrets upon leaving
this earth is that | shall not live
to see the completion of the statue
to Rampolla, my great Master"
At another moment, evidently
thinking of his nephew, Della
Chiesa, who had insisted upon sec
ing the pope in spite of his own
serious illness, he kept repeating,
Poor boy, poor boy, who knows
whether he has enough money to
pay the cab to bring him here"
The Della Chiesas are considered
to be fairly well-to-do.
The pope had taken the initia-
tive last year of having a statue
erected in the Vatican grounds to
Cardinal Rampolla, had examined
the plans and drawing himself and
often called to watch the sculptor
at his work.

there is little likelihood of many

if events warranted. Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas, Democrat,
sought by amendment 10 provide
that other powers could join but
the proposal was voted down.
Outside the senate too, Mr.. Will
sons friends are divided on the
subject Raymond B. Fosdick, who
was TO have been American repre-
sentative on the secretariat of the
League of Nations if the United
States had been a member under
the Wilson administration. says
the four-power pact is in harmony
with the league. Norman H. Davis,
appointee to the Preparations COM
pact is the old type of alliance and
is directly opposed to the idea of
the League of Nations.
Attitude Unchanged.
Best information available in
Washington from reliable source as
to MIR. Wilson's attitude is that he
feels today exactly as he did N
December, 1918, when in Manches-
ter, England, he leveled a broad
side at the European idea of re-
gional alliances. He said on that
occasion:
You know that the United States
has always felt from the very be-
ginning of her history that she
must keep herself separate from
any kind of connection with Euro
pean politics and | want to say
very frankly to you that she is not
now interested in European poll
tics. But she is interested in the
partnership of right between Amer
lea and Europe.
IF the future had nothing for
us but an attempt to keep the
world at right poise by a bal
ance of power. the United States
would take interest, because she
will join no combination of power
which is not a combination of all
of us. She is now interested not
merely i'll the peace of Europe but
in the peace of the world"
Mr.. Wilson's views on the four
power pact now pending are not
unsympathetic with the object
sought to be attained. namely the
preservation of the peace of the
Pacific. To that extent the four
power pact is in harmony with the
League of Nations, but he has fear
ed that the method OF grouping a
few powers in any combination de-
signed to protect them against the
aggression of another power or
group of powers would lead only /!
TO the establishment of rival cn-
tentes and alliances such as have /
divided the world and brought on !
wars in the past.

death nine years ago.
The estate, once one of the show
places of central Kentucky and one
of the first and largest estates es-
tablished in that section by east
.ern financiers, has been in process
OF disintegration since the death OF
the owner. Green Hills, the man
sion, stands on knoll overlooking
thousands of acres of rolling blue
grass pastures. The mansion, with
600 acres of land. is all that is

use the place since MIR. Haggin's
death. The interior of the mansion
is just as Mr.. Haggin left it.
Although much of its former
splendor has vanished, Elmendorf
