comfortable in the baggage car and

HOPE TREATIES
WILL PULL THEM
OUT Of THE HOLE
Harding and Hughes Expected By
Republican Congressman To
Give Them the Needed Help
lAssociateo rressJ

Washington, March 2O-Repubican
party leaders responsible for direc-
ton of the coming congressional cam
paign, accompanied by Chairman John
I. Adams, of the republican national
committee, conferred with President
Harding today and discussed the rela-
tion of the treaties growing out of the
Washington conference to the coming
elections. The treaties are regarded
in administration circles as the major
achievement of the first year of the
Harding administration and it is said
to be the intention of party ledaers to
put them forward as an issue in the
November elections.

In reviewing these figures, the bu-
reau reports point out, that for prac-
tically five years of the last decade,
Canada was involved in the world war
and during that time immigration was
stopped from the British Isles and
Europe and greatly curtailed from the
United States.
For two years prior to the war,
immigration to Canada reached it's
peak. The Dominion sent overseas
more than 100000 fighting men. Sixty
thousand of these were killed and
5000 were wounded. In addition
more than 100000 men in the Canad-
ian army were engaged in military oc-
equations on this side of the ocean.
During the war period, marriage and
the establishment of homes was far
below normal.
Taking into consideration the ira
gic occurrences of the decade, the in
creasesof population in Canada is as
substantial as could be expected, it is
noted.

A BUILDING WORTH SAVING
ASSOCIATED Press)

Delhi, Ia, March 20.-Efforts to
preserve the old McCreery home here
as a memorial to one of the few Iowa
poets have failed and the little build
ing is falling to pieces.
The passage of time has not dealt
kindly with the old frame house in
which J. L. McCreery, one of north
eastern Iowa's pioneer journalists,
penned the poem, There is No
Death"
Authorship of this noted poem has
been attributed to various celebrated
writers, but there seems to be little
doubt that the author was McCreery
The poem was one of number pub
lished in the Delaware County Jour
nal in the early '60s when Mr.. Nc
Creery owned that publication.
No doubt his poetry was his relax
alton. "There is No Death" is the
only specimen extant. The opening
and closing verses are here repeated
There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-"There are no dead"

II. W. tombstone, of Curryville,

/ the Florida Division of the Children
CT the Confederacy on the topic,
Causes of the War Between the
States which is the subject given to
boys and girls between the ages of IL

Mr.. Johnstone's letter follows:
greet you Daughters-Comrade and
| Children of the Confederacy.
The Anglo-Saxon principles and
Irights-of free self-governing men
are older than the English language.
Our state constitutions and state
governments We're made to defend and
preserve these rights; and these states
made the constitution of the United
States as an additional means to de-
fend and preserve these same rights
Of these states and their citizens.
The violation of these constitutional
principles and rights by political and
religious fanatics of the northern
states forced the southern states to
withdraw from the Union, to preserve
these rights of the states and their
citizens.
The fanatics gained control of the
United States government III 1860 and
1861, and a conspiracy was entered
into by Abraham Lincoln. S. p. Chase,
VIM. H. Seward with members of the
United States army and navy, to force
war on the southern states.
These secret acts of these conspir-
ators were the direct Cause Of the
war between the states
These secret acts OF war are for
the first time. briefly stated in "a lit.

To cover up the secret acts of war
CT these conspirators, the fanatics de-
clared that the South began the War
Between the States by firing on Fort
Sumter Con April 18th, 1861. Almost
every history has repeated this false
statement until many of the Children

teachers and parents. too, believe this
utterly untrue assertion.
