Back to Normally was the slogan
Of 1921, not only In America but In
all the civilized nations of the world
But minor wars, internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
In Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine In Russia and other hindrances
made progress in the right direction
slow, excepting, perhaps, In the United
States.
When the year opened the peoples
we're grooming under the burden Of
taxation and depression resulting from
the World war. As 1t drew to close
they were still grooming but had hope
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ington, where the representatives Of
great powers were negotiating inter-
national agreements that would elm
mate some OF the causes of war, es-
pecially In the Far East, and limit
the means of making war. In the
success Of this conference and of 9TH
ers that might grow out of 1t lay for
the time being the hope of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms of the
treaty of Versailles resulted In con-
fiicts among some Of the new nations
created by that pact, and several Of
the older nations were involved In
warfare. Germany, working fast to
recover her old position In the world
of commerce, was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value of the
mark, and her leaders protested con-
tinually that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity. Peace negoti-
atoms between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to sue
cessful conclusion by which the Irish
Free State was constituted.

A TRIBUTE TO GRANDMOTHER.

She stands at the homestead
gateway,
Tall, slinder, and thin,
Her rank in this world is a
mother,
Of six girls, but no men.
She's fought her part of the
battle,
Her victory's almost won,
Turning her eyes to the sunset,
She watches the falling sun.
She stands there as a model,
Of women that ought to be,
She Sees the eve approaching,
She's almost crossed the sea.
In early years she launched her
boat,
For what she did not know,
Although her path has been
Stormy.
She's made a brilliant show.
Her faithful friends are many,
Her enemies are but few,
Even nature has showed her
kindness,
By kissing her hair with dew.
Oh! but her face is wrinkled,
Her body looks old and worn.
For one child and her loving
husband,
From her heartstrings have
been torn.
But, in the eve of all evenings, "
Gods promise shall rule the
past.
When her footsteps are silent,
And her eyelids forever closed
fast.
Well miss the love of this
mother.
The presence of her tender
form,
When silent in her tomb she's
sleeping.
Forever safe from harm.
The above was composed by
nellie Robbins of Nashville. for
merly of Gainesboro.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though
functioning without the cooperation
Of the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
Its council, which met In Paris on
February q and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
to q committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council Of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sent to the league council q strong
protest against the inclusion Of the
island Of zap In territories subjected
to the mandate of japan, and also
formally demanded for America
voice In the disposal of the former
German colonies. The council In re-
ply said 1t was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION of zap to Japan and
invited the United States to take part
In discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. A month after
the Republican administration took
office Secretary of State Hughes reit-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
Yep and mandates in general, and
later France and Italy Endorsed Amer
ica's position in the controversy over
the island, though japan formally re-
fused to give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and japan which
led to a treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights In
zap and other islands inundated to
Japan.
The council Of ambassadors in Janu-
airy gave Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed a commission to pass
on Austria's economic status, decided
that Latvia and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states, and
then fixed the German reparations at
$4,000, OO0, 900 gold marks, payable In
annual installments, and II per cent
tax on exports during the period Of
payment. This PREPARATIONS decision
created CONSERVATION in Germany and
Berlin at once began efforts to per
suade the United States to intervene
In her behalf. The Wilson administra-
ton made no response, but on Aprfl
2 Secretary Hughes informed Ger
many the United States would not
countenance her escaping full respon-
sibility for the war or getting out Of
paying to the limit of her ability. A
few days earlier. Berlin having failed
to make the first payments, French
troops occupied Dusseldorf, Duis-
burg and Ruhrort. The British OBJ
jected strongly to this independent
action and France withdrew. 1t would
be tedious to detail the negotiations
over the reparaticns bill. Suffice 1t to
say that Germany, with Doctor With
as chancellor, was compelled to &C

the sums due In the early part Of
1922 could not be raised. And since
many economists agreed that to drive
her into absolute bankruptcy would
be disastrous to the rest Of the world,
toward the close OF the year there
was increasing talk Of arranging a
moratorium Of two to three years for
her. France was the chief director

COUNTY TAX COSTS
ARE COMPARED

Winnemucca, Nevada, Aug. IA
An audit of the county and city ex-
penses made by F. N. Fletcher, of the
Nevada Economy League, shows that
the Humboldt County government in
1921 cost $179,937.17. The county's
assessed valuation for that year was
$4,000, 900. These figures are COM
pared by Fletcher with government
costs of P%ershing, White Pine, Elko
and Churchill. Churchill, according
to Mr.. Fletcher, had assessed valua-
ton of 5000. 900, and its county
government cost 9S,524.46; Per-
shing County, with a valuation of
$13,500,00O, cost $147,40S; White
Pine, with a valuation of 10000
900. cost $277.732.35; Elko, with a
valuation of $~42,332,977, cost $780,
S99.19.
The city budget of Winnemucca
for 1922 calls for an estimated ex-
penditure for all purposes of $780,
900.
Mr.. Fletcher's Investigations of
State and county expenses show an
increase in the cost of schools since
1912. According to his figures edu-
cation in the State, exclusive of the
university that year cost $635,O0O.
The cost in 1922 will be $~1.570,000.
He figures that forty per cent of
the increase in cost of schools is on
account of new high schools being
started, thirty per cen is due to the
rise in the prices OF supplies, and
thirty per cent to increases in teach
ers' salaries.

SUSPECT MANIAC
OF SECOND CRIME

KANSAS CITY, June 13. - Gus
Grimes, Omaha maniac, was sought by
police here today following murder and
robbery Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gerhard Blom-
ster Sunday.
Two men, including Perry Engwall,
friend of the slain man, declared pic
ture of Grimes looked like a man he
had met prowling about the weeded
hill where the bodies were found.
"The look in the mans eyes made
me feel creepy-and those are the
eyes," Engwall asserted while examin-
ing the picture.
Since he is known to have left Lin
coin and Omaha, Grimes has been re-
ported in other parts OF Missouri but
the identification was unverified.
Police at midnight broke into q de-
serted house near the scene of the
murder. 1t was kept similar to the
description of terror shack" near Om'
aha, where Grimes chained two women
and one man.
