INVOLVES RANCH OF
 LATE BUFFALO BILL
Scouts Rest Is Now the Center of
 a Bitter Civil Action

North Platte, Neb., Dec. h. Scouts Rest Ranch, for many years show place of the west while owned by William r. C"Buffalo Bin'D Cody, now is rundown and ordinary piece of property where a few cattle still graze, but buffalo are no more and where social gatherings are of another day.
 The ranch, located about two miles west of North Platte, now is known as "Cody's Ranch" It passed from the ownership of the famous scout and buffalo hinter several years be- fore his death in 1917.
 Its 10000 or more acres of land has dwindled to 1,200.
 The land that remains as part of the famous ranch and rendezvous for visiting nobility, celebrated statesmen and army officers. now is owned by a company and leased to tenant. Trouble has arisen over the lease and the property now is the subject of liti- gation.
 Cody came to this part of the coun- try following the Civil War. His job was to furnish laborers engaged in constructing the Union Pacific lines west, with meat. The meat provided was that from the buffalo, which were more numerous then than jack rabbits are at present. During an 1S- month period, in 1887 and 1868, Cody personally killed about 4,300 buffalo for the Union Pacific laborers. It was at this time that he was given the name Buffalo Bill.
 Local acauaintances recall Buffalo Bills first wild west show. It was the occasion of a local celebration at which Cody was asked to provide one Of the entertainment features. He hit upon the wild west show idea, and spent much time in rehearsing his act. The show was such a big success that he was induced to elaborate upon it and take it upon the road.

SLAVES OF ASSAM LOOK
 ASKANCE AT LIBERATORS
Work of the English Commissioners Hindered By the Men That
 Are in Bondage

Rangoon. India, Dec. 11.-Many oi rthe slaves still in bondage in the Burmo- -Assamese border district are quite satisfied with their present state, and in fact resent the efforts of the English commissioners for the North East Frontier Division to inn prove their conditions. The efforts of the government to suppress slavery and human sacrifice in the district have been hampered not only by the animosity of the slave owners, but also by the slaves themselves. and very little has ben accomplished.
 There are today 2l5 slaves in this district, and they are described as either contented, or too lazy and opium sodden to wish to become free.
 Human sacrifice has been confined to comparatively small area Of un- administered territory in the Mega Hills, but there is no doubt it four ishes there. The victims. in most cases. are Indian children, and are generally purchased in the head hunt ing villages to the south whose in- habitants, while not practising hn- man sacrifice themselves, do not hesi- tate to provide victims for others.
 Threats by the government, and na- tive overlords responsible to the gov crnment. have been entirely disre- garded, and the tribes continue to ob- tain victims and sacrifice them in secret

LEAGUE DOES NOT
 WANT TOINTERFERE
Its Object Is to Make It Easier for
 Governments to Function
gg The A..onlatea Press.


 Paris, Dee. 1.-The business of the League Of Nations is to make it pos- sible for governments to act tn unity in accomplishing things and not to take governmental machinery into its own hands, Lord Robert Cecil told the council Of the league today.
 The council was discussing the best means Of carrying on it's investigation into the slavery which still exists in many territories. and Lord Robert warned it that the projected inquiry, the high aim ol which is the total ab- olition Of slavery, should be conduct cd with the greatest caution.
 T fear" he said, any proposals which may have the effect Of trans forming tho council Of the league into body which seeks to achieve by its own efforts the suppression or slavery. ] fear them because they might give rise to misunderstanding Of the leagues position. Our business is to enable governments to get together io do things and not 10 attempt to talk" the machinery Of government into our own hands"
 
 subject Of slavery recommended that fine future inquiry be turned over 10 the mandate commission or 70 the iu- tern8tional bureau in Brussels. but NJ HanoiauN. oI France. insisted that special commission be created. Lord Robert and ths others agreed Co this, and a special body wiil be appointed if the leagues funds can stand the strain. The idea is for inc league to keep the question of slavery before public opinion aud thus bring moral pressure to bear
 The council today reached dn agree ment On The text gf the letter to be dispatched 10 the United states gov ernment inviting f ts participate it tbe framing Of Bew conventions for control Of tAs traffic in arms. In line with Lord Roberts injunction that et-

 Because Of the steady American help 10 the Russian refugees the Americans found special interest in the extensive report on the Russian eNiles made to the council, which was adopted with resolutions asking all the governments t0 continue To sup port Dr. Nansen, the league high com missioner for Russia The resolution declare that although thn situation of the Russian refugees has scnsibly im- proved it nrverhoiess remains precar- ious, and that hence the termination Of the high commissions activities would destroy the progress already realized

Spirit of Service Demonstrated
in Readiness for Nation
wide Activity.

When President Coolidge by procla-
nation designated the American Red
Cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief Of the Japan

the Presidents desire came as an or

the entire machinery of the organiza-
ton was put in motion and within "a
hours the fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part of the coun-
try.
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness OF the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
In behalf of humanity. Within a
month It had collected upwards of
s1O,25O 900 in contributions. landed

Junior Red Cross
Spreads Good Will
Throughout World

Nearly 100000 pupils In the school
Of America are following the standard
Of unself1sh service as members Of the
American Junior Red Cross, the an

discloses. This valiant host is rep
resented in 125,O72 school rooms OF
24.2s9 schools throughout the United
States. With service program that
is local, national and international In
scope, the American Junior Red Cross
is working unfalteringly for health
and happiness and in the promotion
of activities among boys and girls
wherever there is opportunity for use
fitness.
Increased activity on the part of
the schools enrolled and deeper recog-
milton by school authorities of the ed
vocational values of Junior Red Cross
have been significant features of the
last year. Carrying on educational
and relief work in France, Poland,
Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Albania,
Bulgaria and Rumania, the American
Juniors have Influenced the forming
Of Junior departments in the Red
Cross organizations of these coun-
tries. American boys and girls wear

Tors are proving apt messengers of
the spirit of good will and mutual IN
derstanding through correspondence
with pupils in schools scattered
throughout the world. At the close
of the school year in June 1909
schools were engaged in correspond
ence with like number Of schools
in Europe; 2S4 schools in our insular
possessions and Alaska territory car
ried on an exchange Of letters with
schools in the United States and South
Africa. In fact, nearly 2,700 schools
with probably 100000 pupils were busy
in this fine act Of cheerful communi-
cation while S,347 articles passed
through National Headquarters of the
Red Cross in exchanges between the
interested pupils here and overseas.

# SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men- tho-Sulphur to an itching. burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur prep- 'aration, made into pleasant cold cream, gives such quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place.
 Because of it's germ destroying properties. it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or rough ness.
 You do not have to wait for i'm proyement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles Men tho-Sulphur at any drug store. (advertfsement)
