From the time a girl reaches the
age OF twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care a
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl is then
passing throughiss $50 critical, and may
have such far-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
1t is almost criminal for mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many woman has suffered years
Of prolongedpain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
Iessness or ignorance on the part of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Donot let them over-study.
If they complain Of headache, pains
in the back and lower limbs, they
need mothers thoughtful care and
sympathy.

THE resignation Of Judge Kenesaw
4 NJ. Lands from the federal bench
Of the northern Illinois district Is
cause for sincere regret, except per-
haps on the part Of baseball fans.
Though often spectacular in methods
and speech, Judge Lands was always
fearless, just and impeccably honest,
and he had an uncanuy ability to get
Mt the truth and a commendable
tendency to ignore unimportant tech
nicallties. If these latter qualities
were shared by the lesser judiciary Of
the region where Judge Lands has
been exercising his activities there
would he less cause to complain Of the
prevalence Of crime there and of mis-
carriages Of Justice.

to submit tentative suggestions or in
formal proposals, without which the
arrival at desirable international I'M

Mr. Harding, however, emphntically
assured the senate that there were no

recOncilable' senators are not salts
fled and insist that ratification must
be hedged about with considerable
reservation. Although President Har-
ding adhered to his position that no
reservation was necessary, the foreign
relations committee was informed that
he would not object to the one offered
by Senator Brandegee If II was deemed
best thus to facilitate ratification. This
reservation reads:
THE United States understands
that it assumes no obligation either
legal or moral, TO maintain the rights
In relation to the lnsular possessions
or insular domlnlons Of any Of the
other high contracting parties and that
the consent Of the congress Of the
United States shall be necessary TO
any adjustments or understandings
under articles one and two by which
the United States Is to be bound in
any way, and that there Is no obliga-
ton either legal or moral to give such
consent"
Naturally, Senator Johnson Of Call
fornla was not satisfied even with this,
ana he offered another more drastic
reservation. But the administration
senators said the Brnndegee resolution
was as far as they would consent TO

and New, didn't want TO make any con
cesslons ut ALL Then Senator Lodge,
after comforting with the President
offered a substitute reservation safe
guarding congressional authority over
the use Of armed force. This was not
liked by the more radical members.

MINERS TO STRIKE ID BACK WAGE HIKE
Anthracite Works Want Increase of 20 Per Cent, With Present Wage for Soft Coal Class-Howat
 Controversy Threatened.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 14.-Con- tinuance of present wages for soft coal miners and an increase of 20 per cent for the anthracite workers, backed up with a threat of a general strike in all fields on April 1, was the wage policy recommended today to the special convention of the United Mine Workers of America composed of the 27 district presidents.
 Action by the convention on the committee report, which was received with cheers from the 1000 delegates, was deferred until tomorrow, and the threatened convention fight over the seating as delegates of the followers of Alexander Howat, the deposed Kansas leader, also failed to break on the convention floor. Howat's partisans, however, predicted it would come later, but administration lead CTS, who were non-committal, said the scale report had the right of way be- fore the convention.

URGES IMMEDIATE
 RATIFICATION
President Harding Believes Arms Treaties Are Guarantees of World Peace--Republicans and Dem-
 ocrats Favorable.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The treaties negotiated during the Washington conference were laid before the Sen ate by President Harding today with request that they be ratified as guarantees of peace.
 Appearing in person before the Senate, the president declared the new agreements would "serve to put an end to contradictions, to remove ann biguities, and establish clear under standings"
 "If we cannot join in making effec- tive these covenants for peace," he said, "and stamp this conference with Americas approval, we shall discredit the influence of the republic, render future efforts futile and unlikely, and write Encouragement, where today the world is ready to acclaim new hope"
 Delivering his message in person, in a voice and manner that betokened deep emotion, the president was an- swered repeatedly by applause from floor and galleries. He asked that rat ification be given without delay and before he left the capitol Senate ma- chinery was set in motion to hasten a vote.
 Five principal treaties and two sup plemental agreements, the fruition of the weeks of negotiation just conclud- ed here, were in the bundle of interna- tional covenants taken to the Senate chamber by Mir. Harding. They pro- pose, in short, a limitation on naval armament, a new bill of rights for China, and a four power concord to preserve peace in the Pacific.
 All of these agreements said the president, are related portions of the effort "to put an end to contradic- tions, to remove antiquities and es- tablish clear understandings" None of them, he asserted, commits the American government "to any kind of an alliance, entanglement, or involve ment."
 After the address was completed, both Republican and Democrat leaders predicted that the treaties would be substantial majorities. Only one, the four-power Pacific pact, is threatened now with organized opposition and it's opponents have not yet demonstrated how large a vote they can command against the strength of party leaders on both sides of the chamber.
 Actual consideration of the coven- ants is to begin tomorrow at meet ing of the foreign relations commit tee to which they were referred to without debate and on motion of the chairman Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts. It is thought unlikely. how ever. that tomorrow's meeting will do more than make a preliminary exam ination of the information which goes before 1t along with the treaties.

SENATE PASSES
 MARKETING BILL
Co-Operative Measure to Aid Agri- cultural Interests Gets by With Big Majority of Victory for.
 Farm Bloc in Congress.

Washington, Feb. S.--The House CO., operative marketing bill, measure designed to aid the agricultural inter ests and pressed by the farm bloc, was passed by the Senate late today. Only one vote, that of Senator Gerry, Dem- ocrat, Rhode Island, was cast against the measure.
 Two other senators, Brandegee Re- publican; Conn and King, Democrats, Utah, were paired against the mea- sure and withheld their votes. The vote was 58 to l and the Senate's ac- tion was regarded by some as the most sweeping of the victories yet at- tained by the farm bloc since, in ac- cepting the House bill, the Senate overruled it's own judiciary committee, which had reported substitute mea- sure. The substitute was defeated 56 to 4.
 The bill now goes to conference for adjustment of differences with the House.
 As passed tonight the bill retains the provisions of differences with the provisions which relieve the co-opera- tive associations from the application from laws prohibiting trusts or unfair business practices, placing the author ity to determine when Such acts have been committed with the secretary of agriculture. The Senate substitute would have made the association amendahle to the present laws. and it was around this point that debate re- volved in the week the schedule was before the Senate.
 During the closing hours of debate today, reference was made to the bloc's power This brought from Sen ator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, the statement that he had heard the bill had administration support.
 "It is the first time in many months that the majority has come over to my side," he added. "It happens so al- mighty seldom that feel I must make note of it. It may be the administra- tion is supporting the bill. If that is so l am glad they have come over into the same wagon with me. Whether they came because of me or in spite of me, do not know, but welcome them here"
 The bill was introduced simultano ously in the House and Senate ip A of last year. 1t was aetei 'v House early, hut when ( as repor' ed to the Senate. it lav tee several months after it was reportea .oenate and it was sidetracked for one reason or another until week ago when it was made the unfinished business.

POLK COUNTY HOG LAW

Many people in Polk county have been interested in the hog law, and The Star believes the following will give as nearly correct information as to it's status as can be obtained at this time:
 Ashdown, Ark, Feb. 10. 1922. Mr. Joe Lewis, Hatfield, Ark. Dear Sir and Friend: Your letter of the 9th received and in reply you are advised that 1 presume the stock law will be enforced in Polk county along with other laws. Usually the enforcement of this character depends on public sentiment.
 We have stock laws in every county in this district. In some of the coun- ties the grand jury indicts, and in others they are more liberal. With kindest regards, I am.
 Yours truly.
