PLANS FOR ANNUAL
FARM BUREAU MEET

At the annual meeting of the
Roosevelt County Farm Bureau to
be held in Poplar, January 25 and 26
Henry Lowe will give a thirty-minute
talk or "Why Farmers Should In
telligently Organize" Mr.. Lowe has
been giving this matter considerable
thought and we may we'll expect
something very much worth while.
Mr.. Lowe is also chairman of the
resolutions committee and is busy
getting these problems lined up and
IN concrete form to present to the
meeting.
All the committees are getting
lined up on their work and all COM
are expected to have their
recommendations in concrete form
to submit to the committees at the
hearings.
A big two day program is being
arranged and unless the work goes
off smoothly and in order there will
not be time for the complete pro-
gram. This program will be pub
lished as soon as it is completed.

Secretary of State Hughes will lay the cor

religious bigotry rise and fall in America Just at

Some dangerous radcalism is abroad in the

which has been born in many sections. Some
tendencies noticeable today must cause great grief

What Is Love?

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
I have ben unable to find in
poetry or prose an accurate dehni-
ton Of the word love. This is
partly because there are so many
different kinds of love; but another
reason is the great difficulty of full
ly understanding any kind of love
In lieu of a better definition the
following is offered:
Love is a mysterious and involun-
tary physical or spiritual impulse
and attraction drawing the lover to
the loved one, with an unselfish de-
sire Of the former to please the lat
ter and enjoy his or her company.
Physical and spiritual love may
be combined, as in the perfect mar
riage.
Unfortunately love is not neces-
safily mutual, but II is more blessed
to love than to be loved. The loved
one is often unworthy, but the true
lover is justly celebrated in poetry,
drama and song.
Mother love is the most intense
and least selfish kind of love. Next
to this comes the dogs love, for his
master. There are other beautiful
kinds OF love, but there are no
very many examples of them in
real life.
The most beautiful description OF
genuine love will be found in tn.

ejectment of Germany from the committee on
Russian affairs. They may believe that the Ra-
pao treaty is for the best interests Of Europe and
that Germany should be congratulated because of it,
On the other hand they may believe that Germany
should be thrown out of the entire conference be-
cause of this move.
But certainly they have right to express their
opinions and to vote. When any group ignores
them it is their plain duty to work for the undong
of that group.
After all, these six states the only men,
bers of the, European family capable OF rendering
unbiased judgments when misunderstanding arise
between parties to the late war. They were on the
scene of the conflict but they were the friends OF
all-both victorious and defeated.
1t is to be hoped that they leave no steps un-
taken to make their influence felt at Genoa. We
are sorry there not enough neutrals OF the
same type to dominate the conference and wipe out

lessen this suspicion. But that whole problem is
