we know that Japan has agreed to turn
this territory back to China, and, fol-
lowing that example, Great Britain
has turned back to China a certain
piece of land she held in that country.
The naval treaty actually calls for
scrapping battleships. 1t gets down
to brass tacks and has the support Of
all countries represented. The results
of this conference cannot be estimated
now. 1t will take many years for the
world to know just how great it really
was. The day after the meeting in
Washington closed parliament opened
in London. Lloyd George, the prime
minister, said that the meeting was
one of the greatest achievements ever
registered in the history of the world,
and King George said that the world
owes deep debt of gratitude to the
initiative of President Harding in
making this conference possible.
MANY people wonder why the con-
ference was such successfully it
never was possible before to accomu-
lish so much. 1t is not hard to under
stand if we want to give credit where
it is due. President Harding knew
that limitation of the number of coun-
tries to take part in the meeting was
as important as limitation of arma-
ment. Limiting the countries to those
really needed, speeded up the work.
There was no secrecy. True there were
committee meetings behind closed
doors, but as soon as something was
accomplished it was settled in the
open. Another important point that
made the conference such a success
was that every country knew in ad-
vance what the subjects were that
would be discussed.
'Those who saw the last session,
who watched the signing and heard
the president talk, and who had also
witnessed the last session of the Paris
conference, remarked the difference.
At Paris the atmosphere was cold,
feeling was bitter, and there was NO
applause. At Washington everybody
was happy. Applause marked the at
taching Of every signature and whom
the president appeared he was given
an ovation not soon to be forgotten
by those in attendance. Every Ameri-
can citizen should feel mighty proud
of our president, of his vision and of
the result of the conference which was
born in his brain. We should also feel
proud of our secretary of state, whose
work with Mr.. Balfour, head Of the
British delegation, in connection with
the differences between China and
Japan, resulted in such a wonderful
understanding and good feeling.
"Well, here we are home at last,
and I hardly knew we were walking"
~ didn't either" said Jack, "and
/ sure am glad to learn about these
things.''

The True Family Laxative and
Worm EXpeIler
Our Tariff See.Saw

Did YOU ever see household where the
cry arose that it was too cold, on which
someon. went down stairs to stoke the
furnace; and then, in a short time, the
assertion came forth with equal force
that the house was too hot and that the
windows must be opened; this IN turn
followed in quick sequence by a cold
house. the closing of the windows, and
another dash down stairs to stir up
the furnace2 You have probably wit
messed lust such a succession OF events.
We as a people are doing exactly
the same thing with regard to our tar'ff.
| We cry out one moment over unempioy-
ment, occasioned, as we believe, by the
too ready ingress of foreign goods; and
we demand larger measure OF protec-
tion We change parties to get IL. This
is long process, usually four years IN It's
course No sooner have we accomplish
ed that purpose than we cry out against
the tariff and proceed on TOUR years
journey towards its demolition.
Today it is undoubtedly the popular
hing to decry the tariff which now
received the Presidents signature. 1t is
exactly the kind of tariff we knew the
Republicans would enact, and that the
President himself would sign, when by
seven million m sjority we decided to en-
trust them with that responsibility. If
we should undo it by Democratic Con-
gress and Democratic President, we
should then let no grass grow Under our
feet until we undertook, by the same
process that we have come through in
putting Mr.. Harding and the Republican
administration in power, to reverse oper
! ations.
Have we no capacity as people for
continuity of thought? Must we always
be pushing up the window or stirring up
he furnace in alternate succession2 Can
we not remember our experiences for long
enough to allow them to do US any good?

Visited The Monroe Gas Fields.

Miss Pauline Rose and Mrs. Louise
Davis returned this morning from
the Monroe gas fields which they
listed with friends from New Or
leans. The ladies report that they
were amazed at the SiT,' ot the held
which covers more than $50 square
miles Of proven territory and IS beng
rapidly developed and extended. I'm"
irid on the west side produces dry
gas from which only about five gal
ions of gasoline to the million cubic
feet can be extracted; while on the
east side the wells produce more than
500 gallons of gasoline per million
cubic feet Of gas. Miss Rose and
Mrs Davis are interested IN the
Windsor Gas and Oil Company,
which is drilling a well few miles
east Of the large gasoline producing
wells. 1t is believed that the gas and
gasoline produced in this great field
come from an enormous reservoir OF
oil, and as the wells on the east side
of the field are the largest producers
of gasoline (or the wettest gas), Miss
Rose and Mrs. Davis feel that they
have good chance to strike the big
oil pool. The least they expect is a
big gaser that will produce several
hundred gallons of gasoline per day

LOCALS DEFEAT CENTRALS.
Visiting Team Proves No Match foi
Fast Home Lads.

The Donaldsonville baseball team
administered a sound drubbing to
th.' Centrals of St. James, Lctore q
good sized crowd of fans at the local
fair grolfids last Sunday. The visi-
tors engaged the services Of Bob
Sutherland, semiprofesslonal, tc
pitch for this game and they came
i,i" full Of confidence over the out
come of the contest; but departed
after the game very sad and dis
heartened bunch, having failed to
score a single run against the 9 runs
made by the locals.
The home boys obtained Suther-
lands measure from the very begin
ming and pounded him all over the
lot securing eleven safe hits and
nine runs; while the best that the
visitors could do was to get in four
scattered hits off of Robert, the home
clubs tWirler. At the end of the
sixth inning the game was called off
to enable the Central boys to make
connection with the excursion train
of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
railroad.
The features Of the game was the
hitting Of Gilbert and G. Forrest,
each Of whom got three hits out of
four times at the bat, also the field
ing and throwing of Harry Smith,
who caught a fly in deep center and
made a perfect throw to home plate
and prevented the visitors from scor-
.ng TampIain Of tne visitors con
nected with Roberts delivery in the
third inning for a two-sacker. In
the last inning Tamplain replaced
Sutherland as pitcher for the visitors
and held the locals to one safe hit
during the balance of the game.
