IN your coconut cake on the same
day it is baked.
A way has been discovered of put
ting up coconut moist, and now you
can bake your cake on Friday and
cat it on Sunday as fresh as if just
out of the oven.
The new process was worked out
by the oldest coconut manufacturers
in the world to meet the increasing
demand for coconut in its most deli
cious form.
Bakers Coconut, Southern Style,
is put UP, not dried in pasteboard
boxes, but moist with its own juices
but without the milk, in air-tight tins,
like fine fruits. Just try it in your
cakes, pies, puddings and jell-o des-
serts, and on sliced and stewed fruits,
and see the difference the moist CO.

that they have stolen a march on
the irreconcilables and have turned
their flank.
At today's meeting in Continental
Memorial Hall the political side of
the League of Nations was entirely
subordinated to the humanitarian
welfare side. The outstanding per.
tinent feature was the speech by
Miss Grace Abbott who, besides
being Director of the United States
Children's Bureau, is also the rep
resentative of the United States
Government on the League OF Ma
tons Advisory Committee on the
Traffic in Women and Children.
She described the present endeav-
or Of the league to arrive at the
facts regarding that traffic. It
simultaneously developed that the
United States Government is now
quite numerously represented in
various League Of Nations enter
prises.
Tomorrow, for instance, the
League Of Nations opium commit
tee will meet in Geneva, SwitZer-
land. The following Americans, ar-
pointed to do so by President Hard
ing. will attend it's sessions:

Committed to Cooperation.
It is noted with grief by the ir-
reconcilIables that we began Dy
sending individuals to these League
of Nations committee, and now we
send delegations.
The United States is regarded as
having gradually committed itself
in full to a friendly cooperation
with the League in its welfare work.
The irreconcilables now fear that
through that welfare work the
United States may get into the
League very much deeper than it
ever would through the world court.
They point out that each of the
welfare committees Of the League
is a body which makes recommen.
dations to the League itself and
which achieves It's purposes only
through action by the League Coun-
Gil or the League Assembly.
They regard such work therefore

Ex-Justice Of Supreme Court
Brings His Association Here
For Mass Meeting
DIV WILLIAM HARD.

John H Clarke, of Ohio, ex'
Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court, made his first great
League of Nations propaganda
drive on the National Capital today.
He brought his League OF Nations
Non Partisan Association to wash
ington and held a great public ntess
meeting in Memorial Continental
Hall within shouting distance OF the
State Department. Speeches were
made by ex-Justice Clarke hlmseH

manitarian Aspects OF the League
A climax was thus given to the
nation wide series of pro-league
meetings which has been conducted
throughout the country ever since
the first week of April by the
League of Nations NonpartiSan As
ISOLATION. the Church Peace Union,
the World Alliance for international
Friendship Through the Churches,
the World Peace Foundation and the
Federal Council Of Churches of
Christ in America, acting in cooper
alton.
Enormous Propaganda Power.
Irreconcilables here are just wax
ing up to the enormous propagandist
power behind this combination Of
active political and earnest religious
influences.
The World Peace Foundation has
81 900, 900 left to it by Edwin CHM,
the Boston publisher. The Church
Peace Union and the World AL
lance for International Friendship
Through the Churches have $4,000
900 left to them by Andrew Carnegie.
The Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America represents a
large number of the most prominent
and populous Protestant religious
denomination in the country. One
OF It's leading officials, DR.. Charles
8. Mcfarland, is chairman Of the
Church committee" of ex.Justice
Clarke's League Of Nations Non
Partisan Association.
Linked together in personnel and
in policy, the five organizations
above mentioned were able in April
to begin a nationwide pro.leayue
educational effort under strong
religious auspices on the following
projected plan:
Forty central meetings in central
places. Then out OF each of these
meetings series of smaller
meetings. Then out Of each Of
these smaller meetings a final
series Of completely local meetings
reaching down into the smallest
communities.
Against such efforts, the irrecon.
cilables begin to realize, they have
no countervailing forces of organ
ICED workers. They are obliged to
rely on what they believe to be the
underlying silent hostility Of the
country to any and all participation
by the United States in European
politics. At that point, however,
the members of the League of Ma
ttons Non-Partisan Association think
The Washington times., 1923-05-23

as a manifest step into the League.
So, in fact, do most members of
the League of. Nations Non-Partisan
Association.
There is substantial agreement
therefore on the proposition that ex-
Justice Clarke, in holding a great
meeting here under the wing Of the
national conference of social work,
has accomplished a strategic move
of the highest value to his cause.
He has picked the door through
which the United States has gone
farthest into the league, and he is
trying to pry that door still farther
open.
Irreconcilables today are not SO
much worried about the world court
as they were, but they are beginning
to be greatly worried about the at
Effectiveness which the league NAV
have for the religious elements OF
America in international welfare up

OK YOKES FROM
OLD OREGON TRAIL

George Smith last week brought
into the Republican office a couple
of old OK yokes which he picked up
on the old oregon Trail. These yokes,
which must be between fifty and
sixty years old, and are in a good
state of preservation considering the
fact that they have been lying out in
the weather, caused many of our
old timers to become reminiscent.
Many of us can remember the OK
teams yoked to the old prairie
schooners which raced madly over
the prairies at speed Of two miles
per hour, bearing the settlers who
have done so much to put our west
ern states on the map. No harness
was required to pull the wagons other
than the yokes, and the patient ami
mails deserve a place in history sec
ond to none.

Let's keep the race track.
That seems to be what everyone In
Mountain Home is thinking at the
present time as a result of the sue
cessful racing and bucking program
pulled off on Thursday of last week.
The Republican editors have
talked the matter over with many OF
our prominent business men, and
without exception the men inter-
viewed favor the purchase OF the
tract of ground If il can be secured
at reasonable figure. II not, there
are other tracts which can be secured
at a reasonable price However, the
immense amount of work which has
already beef done by the Eagles on
the present site would go long way
on the improvements.
An effort will now be made for an
other series of races and riding, pos
sibly for October. Men who have
been interviewed by the Republican
have expressed themselves in favor
of this progrma.
