20 An EMERGENCY Animal ."

WA ETWEEN tho small town OF
- Marlboro and the Pecowsic gorge
OF the Green River, where tho
1A~ big new dam was being built. the
road passed through very thtnly set
tied mountain country for a distance
OF ten miles. Much OF the way the
winding. hilly road was bordered by
heavy forest. Here and there were a
small clearing and a farmers cabin.
The railroad spur that carried mate
rails for the construction work at the
dam followed another course SO that
1t was not in view from the road.
The men at work on the dam were
paid Off each Saturday with money
brought from the bank at Marlboro.
Sometimes the paymasters messen-
gers made the trip by railroad: some
times by motorcycle. Nobody ever
knew which way they would go. This
precaution was taken in order to foil
robbers. But there came a day when
robbers guessed right and waylaid
the messengers.
On that day the money. several
thousand dollars of it. was being trans
ported by motorcycle. 1t was carried
by two men who rode in a side car
cycle. Both men were heavily armed

side car was severely wounded and
fell from the car. The driver. though
also badly wounded. drove bravely
ahead with the bullets whistling after
him. Looking back he saw that he
was being followed by men on horse

Susie. But there's sleepy Sallie she's

spread out and began TO beat through

ENGLISH ELECTION TALK.
Possibility of General Balloting Soon
 Causes Considerable Interest.

London, Jan. 5.-Considerable in terest, as bearing on the possibility of an early general election, attaches to the speech of Premier Lloyd George to a coalition liberal meeting in Central Hall January 21, when the premier is expected to give a hint of his electoral intentions. Former Pre- mier Herbert Asquith will address the independent liberals in the same hall March 23.
 Winston Spencer Churchill has been chosen leader of the coalition liberals, according to the Pall Mall Gazette, conservative organ, while Austen Chamberlain will lead the coalition conservatives, Arthur Bonar Law ac- cepting a comparatively minor post in the cabinet.

TO OEXPLORE THE
 DEAD SEAS LAND
Possibilities of Oil in Great
 Quantities There

Jerusalem, Jan. 5.-Great interest has been reached here by semi off cial announcement that an agreement has been reached between the Brit ish government and group of men representing the Zionist organization for the exploitation of lands lying be- yond the River Jordan and the Dead Sea. It has always been known that proper development would reveal the presence of oils and other minerals in great quantity in that section of the country.
 From reliable sources. it is under stood that the agreement involves a tract of land extending from the Syrian coast on the north to the val ley on the south and from the town of Eltuba on the east to the River Jordan and the Dead Sea on the west
 The company is given a period of five years in which to carry on the preliminary work. Should oil or any other minerals be found an exten- sion of time would be given provided the company pays to the British gov ernment fl, ,00o as a royalty fee. Be sides, a straight tax of one shilling is demanded on each and every ton of oil or other minerals taken from the ground.
 What such a venture will mean to the life of Palestine is not hard to guess. Closely connected with the search for oil would be the need for generating electricity from the waters of the River Jordan with which to carry on the work. Railroad lines would also have to be constructed in all directions, in order to facilitate transportation of the mineral prod ucts found. With oil, electricity and railroads, Palestine would be bound to receive great impetus toward in dustrial progress.
 The striking feature of the whole affair, is that it points to departure on the part of the government from it's waiting policy as regards new en- terprses The government of Pales- tine is poor and lacks funds with which to develop the hidden resources of the land. Only by private initia- tive and private capital could the country be built up. It is asserted here that thus far the government which takes it's orders from London, has not only failed to lend moral sup port but has gone so far as to dis courage and even stop new ventures.

MAKES
 RESULT DUBIOUS
Few Now Venture to Predict
 Result Of Treaty Vote

London, Jan. Spy Associated Press. )--Few English newspaper cor respondents in Dublin venture predic- tions as to the result of Ramon De- Valera's suddenly announced plan ;o amend the Irish peace treaty, but all record the amazement caused by his action and the doubts arising from it., They generally agree that entrance of this new factor has greatly altered the situation and that the action of the Dail cannot be predicted.
 Some of the writers avoid any com ment on Mir. De Valeras move while others characterize it Variously as a change in his position to align him. self with the extreme republicans, the last throw of the leader of a lost cause, an attempt to cvade the alter native of accepting or rejecting the teraty en bloc, a fight for his own po- litical existence, or an attempt to wreck the treaty.
 One says if improves the prospect of quickly ending the suspense re- gardlng the fate of the treaty, while another declares that if document number three is admitted as an amendment debate on the treaty may be prolonged far beyond present eX- pectations.
 The Daily Mail correspondent de- scribes the Dail's adjournment as haV- ing been taken in "a welter Of con fusion.' This writer assumes that if Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins refuse to accept Mir De Nacra's

FARMERS DESIRE
 PEOPLES HELP
Must Have Large Warehouses for
 Surplus Stock

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5.-If the farm CT is to continue to feed mankind. he must be paid for his services and we must provide warehouses for the sur pluses in bountiful years, Frank O.. Lowden former governor of Illinois, told the Nebraska Dairymen's asso- citation in convention here today.
 "The farmer believes in the value of what he produces and knows that it is indispensable to the world if civ iization Is to go on," he said. When he sees that the total value of an unusually large crop Is less in the markets of the world than the value of q small crop, he knows that some thing is wrong in our methods of dis trbution. He does not need to be familiar with higher mathematics to feel sure that twelve million bales of cotton ought to be worth more than six million bales; for each of the twelve million bales will be genuinely serviceable sooner or later in cloth- ing the world.
 He has seen much improved f. nancial conditions come to one great section of the country because of an abnormally short crop of that staple. He can't persuade himself that the boil weevil is a benetcent agent of mankind, and yet he is compelled to admit that the cotton states are in- debted to that little insect for their improved financial condition.
 We know that no commodity will be long produced below the cost of
 
 never be necessary to market any farm commodity below such cost; for if that commodity can be stored and held the world will have to pay the cost some day.
 These problems have been met and solved, in a large measure, in Holland and Denmark and among the fruit growers of California, by the organi- zation of farmers cooperative socie- i. ties. These societies do not attempt to arbitrarily fix prices. They do study the probable demand and attempt to adjust production to meet that de- mand.
 } Instead of throwing the entire sea sons crop on the market within few short weeks, they provide for or 1ery marketing of their products. The tendency of this is to stabilize the market. And stabilizing the mark ct of any product is in the end best for the consumer and the producer alike. It is never a good thing for anyone when any useful commodity Is sold for less than the cost, for un- der the memorable laws of economics curtaied production will follow until prices abnormally high are the re-

 Ireland has to ask itself whether for a turn of phrase, it is prepared to reject peace and return to bitter ness and bloodshcd. We cannot doubt what the answer will be.

CLERGYMAN DEFENDS AUTOS
Makes Practice of Securing Fleet of Cars and Collecting Sunday School Students.

North Andover, Mass. Jan. 5. (By Associated Press) who charge the automobile with being the cause of small congregations were in vited today by Rev F. J. Prescott, Unitarian pastor, to desist their at tacks and turn the tables on the devil.
 To gasoline, he said he attributed much of the success of his thriving Sunday school. Seated at the wheel of big truck and followed by fleet of touring cars, he obeys the Biblical injunction by going out into the high ways and byways every Sunday and bringing to his school children within a radius of seven miles.
 North Parish meeting house of which the clergyman is pastor, was built in 1755 and is one of the oldest churches in New England.
