ming American Sympathy

Georges Clemenceau, advocate of
France, unleashed his oratory Mon
day in New York before one Of the
most critical audiences he is likely
to face in America.
Appearing for fifteen-minute talk
before group of newspaper editors
and publishers at luncheon, arranged
by Ralph Pulitzer Of the New York
World, the venerable Tiger plunged
so deeply into the subject closest to
his heart that it was fifty-eight min
utes before he could find a stopping
point.
His auditors represented many
shades of political opinion. Among
them were men who had written ed
itorials criticizing his views on world
politics. But at the end of mis- ad-
dress they were all agreed on one
thing: that Clemenceau is passion
ately in earnest about the cause of
France, and that his addresses will
be we'll worth hearing.
The speech was delivered behind
closed doors, and it was generally
agreed that it should not, be reported
But it was authoritatively described
as follows:
M. Clemenceau made a speech that
was marked by extraordinary frank.
ness and sincerity. He said he had
not come to America to tell the
Americans what they should do, but
to show them what France needs.
His address was a complete, candid
discussion Of the situation as he sees
it, and was marked throughout by
deep emotion.

SURPRISE" DANCE SCORES BIG
Committee Successful in Devising I'm
usual Amusement Features

The NJ. w. A. dance committee has
added another jewel to its crown, or
jewels to their crowns, whichever
suits you best. The dance Tuesday
evening had been advertised as "sur-
prise" affair and fully lived up to ex-
pectations, as was to have been ex-
pected when one remembers that the
fertile vacuums doing business in lieu
Of brains in the craniums owned by
Messrs. Gene Naylor and Harry Nc
Grew were back of it all. The hall
was electrified, if that's the right
word, and if it doesn't belong right
there, it may be slid along further in
the sentence, thus: the audience was
electrified. Small wires, small enough
to be almost invisible, were hung from
the ceiling at various points, four be-
ing located so that couples could not
enter the door without their heads
proving convenient point Of contact.
Other wires were strung along under
the benches in such way that those
sitting down could get in on the little
game. These wires were charged with
electricity, spectators and dancers
alike cutting up all sorts of "didoes"
until they were "wised" up to what
was going on. Some of them even
became little peeved, but others kid
ded them out Of it and soon all Joined
in laughing at the surprise and dis
comtiture of each succeeding new
conner. Music was furnished by Mrs.
Owen and Henry Schiesser on the
piano and violin. A few dances were
also played by visiting company Of
artists who came in to help out and
incidentally get the benefit Of little
advertising. About sixty tickets were
sold, so the affair proved success
financially, although no great amount
Of money was made. As a social event,
also, the dance was a decided sue
cess, final tribute to the committees
ingenuity.

URGES PASSAGE

President Harding Declares an Actual
Monetary Saving Will Result
from Proposed Law
WOULD STOP NATIONAL LOSS
Says Other Nations are in Complete
Accord with Opposition

Enactment of the administration
merchant marine bill was urged on
congress Tuesday by President Hard
ing as necessary to relieve the gov
ernment of present Staggering loss
es" in operation of the war built mer-
chant fleet and to establish pro-
gram of assured shipping to serve
the nation in war and give a guar
anty, Of commercial importance in
time Of peace.
Personally addressing the joint ses-
sion of the house and senate the
executive declared an actual none
tary saving to the government would
result from the proposed law.
He challenged every insinuation of
favored interests and the enriching Of
the special few at the expense of the
public treasury. The legislation, he
asserted, automatically guarded
against enrichment or perpetual be-
stowal.
IF success attends, as we hope it
will" he said, "the government out
lay is returned, the inspiration of op-
portunity to earn remains and Amer
lean transportation by sea is main
tained."
The president said concern about
the American merchant marine pol
icy was not limited ito our domain"
adding that the maritime nations Of
the world "were in complete accord
with the opposition here to the pend
ing measure" He declared those ma
tions had perfect right to such an
attitude, but that he wished to stress
the American viewpoint, which he
said should be the viewpoint "from
which one sees American carriers at
sea, the dependence of American COM
merce and American vessels for
American reliance in the event of
war"
Mr.. Harding declared it would be
most discouragihg if a measure of
"such transcending national import
ance" must have it's fate depend on
geographical, occupational, profess
sional or partisan objection"
A commercial eminence on the seas
and ample agencies for the promotion
in carrying of American commerce,
he asserted, were of no less import
ance to the people of Mississippi
and the Missouri valleys, the great
northwest and the Rocky mountain
states than to the seaboard states
and industrial communities inland.
"1t is a common cause with it's
benefits commonly shared" he said.

Saturday, Nov. 25, has been desig-
mated as Red Cross day for Oakes.
Last year our city responded splen-

Accomplishments Of Organization Re.
viewed by Speakers

tuesday night Logan Chapter,
o. E. S., entertained the Campfire
girls, their guardians, and the girls
mothers. The dinner was served at
6. o'clock, after the girls had sung
the blessing which they have learned.
The decorations for the long table
were in yellow, chrysanthems fur
nishing the floral center pieces, and
tiny scrolls tied with yellow baby
ribbon being used for place cards.
The table was laden with splendid
repast, and the forty guests did ample
justice to it.
The Star is sponsoring the Camp
fire in the city, and Mrs. S. Bergen
thai is chairman of the committee
that has it in charge. Mrs. Bergen
thai acted as toastmaster for the oc-
casion,' first calling on each guest to
open her scroll, which was decorated
with diminutive Campfire emblem,
and read the verse contained therein.
Mrs. Christensen was the first to
respond to a toast. Her remarks
were of special interest to all the
party, as. she was a most successful
guardian Of a Campfire that existed
here few years ago. Mrs. Chris
tensen told the girls and mothers that
no organization may exist without a
guardian, and reminded them to treat
well the one that they have if they
would keep her. She explained the
seven crafts to the edification Of all.
Mrs. Savold and Mrs. Addison n.
Denning, as guardian and assistant
guardian, thanked the Star for their
interest, and then addressed their re-
marks mainly to the mothers, whose
cooperation they would bespeak both
for themselves and the girls.
Mrs. Rugtiv and Mrs Stock both
responded to toasts, ssWhat Benefits
My Daughter Has Received from
Campfire" Mrs. Slocum spoke from
the viewpoint Of one who has a Camp
fire girl in her home. The mothers
amused their auditors by confessing
that they had at first thought the
daughters better not join. They felt
the girls did not have time to give to
any more outside work. But when
the girls who had previously groaned
at house work came home and insist
ed upon doing It, the mothers felt
differently. They saw that it was 60
ing to tighten their burdens immense
ly. With an honor and bead given for
every kind Of work that could be done
at home, it was only natural that the
mothers should be almost as enthu-
siastic az the daughters.
Mrs. Mosher, the worthy matron Of
Logan chapter, took occasion to thank
the girls for selling tags for the Crit
tenton home.
The program closed with two solos
by Mrs. Elmer. s.

sUB-zERo IN OUTDOOR SPORTS
Hardships One Must Look for in Sery.
ing the God of Sport

An Oakes wag recently said that his
idea of zero in indoor sports is to try
reading a copy Of the Oakes Times
and listening to Bunk Roberts and
Bert Williamson discuss politics, all
at the same time. That's a pretty
comprehensive definition in that it
gets the idea across at least.
UP to last Thursday afternoon we
were at loss to know the meaning
of zero, or sub-zero, in outdoor sports,
but it's different now. Some time be-
Afore noon Oscar H.. McGrew Eyes,
that's Harry casually asked the SEN
ior ed if we cared to crank up the old
bus and sneak up on duck or two.
This seemed to be fair proposition
we furnished the gasoline and o. H.
furnished the conversation-so we bit.
Climbing aboard the animated tin can
which does service as an automobile,
we were soon hot on the trail of lone
duck which had been left behind by
its comrades when they started the
long flight for the sunny south. When
the game finally flushed" we took
careful aim and blazed away, missing,
Of course, and that darned duck was
close enough so it could easily have
been knocked down with a fishing
pole. Harry chuckled little to him
self, waited until the duck thought it
was out of range, and then crucified
it with load Of number twos.
Thereafter the two Of US wandered,
part of the time afoot, all over the
territory Immediately west of town,
hoping against hope that we would
get at least one more shot. In this
we were disappointed and along about
dusk made up our collective minds
that it was time to start for home.
In fact, we calculated that we might
be able to hit Oakes in time to crowd
up to the manger if we had good luck.
Man proposes, but sometimes defec-
tive rear tex" gums up the deal. While
speeding along at the comfortable
rate of IL or 8 miles an hour, the back
end of the car sat down for a rest.
We, as occupants Of the alleged auto,
felt that an investigation was in Or
der. We had an instructive feeling
that we were due for a walk to town,
though as it turned out we were
spared that trial. One Of the rear
wheels had knocked off work for the
evening with a what-are- -you-going-
to-do-about-it air and we were strand
ed. While discussing ways and means,
we pushed the car out of the road,
following which we had to trek to
the nearest farm house and borrow
the telephone. Merritt Bean and
George Smiley were prevailed upon
to come out and get us and they did
so, after we had stuck around in the
cold until nearly frozen.
On top Of this the senior ed has
been obliged to listen while Jut Bush
extolled the virtues of Fords cars,
which never break rear "ex's', ac-
cording to his sworn statement, OF
otherwise fail to respond to the driver
when he "steps on 'er." This in spite
Of the fact that he enjoys quite an
income from the repair and parts de.
partment. We're cured, that is we're
on the road to recovery-but' we're
going hunting again tomorrow. Want
to go along?

MORRIS AND ARMOUR TO MERGE
Country Gets Big Laugh Out of New
Proposal

vsSSS
broke their jaws laughing when j.
Ogden Armour swooped down on the
capital accompanied by counsel and
experts, loaded with books and papers,
to lay seige to the department of JUS
tice with view to getting ruling
in favor of a great meat merger rep
resenting assets valued at more than
$500, 100000.
Just how the meat barons propose
to square the application with the per.
sistent insistence that the more busi-
ness they do the less profit they make,
has not been disclosed. It is known,
however, that the first stage of the
battle for supremacy is proposed
merger of Armour & Co. and Morris
& Co. Indeed, report has it that even
closer combine is projected if the
proposition can be put over with At
torney General Daugherty.
Daugherty passed upon the Lacka-
wanna and Midvale steel consolida-
tion, declaring they would not violate
the antitrust laws, but unfortunately
for the steel group the federal trade
commission kicked over the basket
and spilled the beans.
Seemingly so far al the Armour
outfit is concerned, the closer control
of meat and prices is none of the pub
lies business. Indeed, the only per-
sons in Washington who "knew moth
ing at all about the deal" were Mr..
Armour and his vice president, Ar
thur Meeker, who came to the national
capital "to see his daughter" Coun-
sci and experts evidently were brought
along by Mr.. Armour to see that the
great food purveyor is served nothing
but chuck steak so persistently urged
for consumption as the most desirable
of cuts when the public dares to pro-
test against rising meat prices.
A line up of Armour and Morris
would give them dominant position
over Swift, Wilson and Cudahy. While
the capitalization of Armour and Nor
ris foots up to only $190,7O3, 400 and
the Swift, Wilson and Cudahy COM
bination has capital of $204, ,128, 600,
the assets Of the former are given as
$571, ,941 ,513, whereas the assets Of
poor Swift, Wilson and Cudahy are
only $525, ,765, ,944, scarcely enough to
struggle along with.
It must be a great hardship to be
in the packing industry. Poor Swift,
it will be recalled, in 1919 told the
world there was a loss Of 20 cents on
every head Of cattle he handled. If
the farmers had produced more ami
mails no one knows what would have
happened.
In 1921, however, live cattle cost
$67.53, proceeds from beef were $75.-
90, the returns from by-products were
1851, but even then there was only
a profit Of $1.13 on each animal. Just
by what system Of hocus pocus meat
profits continuously decline, meat con-
sumption continuously increases and
meat supply invariably is adequate,
and yet meat prices are perpetually
tilted skyward does not appear.
Evidently If all the figures are true,
another merger will mean that the
public will have nothing to eat but
cows horns at $500 a pound, and the
unfortunate packers will be starving
to death in the streets Of Chicago.
The farmer, Of course, will be de-
lighted with the proposed merger.
Il means more money. for him, maybe.

PEORIA, June 10-An interesting
entertainment is being planned for
Monday night. June Il. at the Peoria
grammar school auditorium by the
Peoria Woman's club. The Osborn
Woman's club of Phoenix will pre-
sent a play entitled THE Fascinat-
ing Fanny Brown" a comedy that is

Fire Department Meets
At a meeting of the local volunteer
fire department held last night it
was decided to use the newly pur-
chased truck for fire fighting outside
the fire district of the town in case
of need. For the people of the out
side district to avail themselves of
this fire protection, it will be neces-
sary for them to summon the fire
company and bear the actual ex-
pense of the chemicals used.
Plans Progressing for Celebration
Plans for the celebration to be held
in Peoria July 4, under the joint aus
pices of the Peoria Woman's club and
the chamber of commerce. are pro-
crossing rapidly and within very
