need a considerable amount of
both grain and roughage during

At Hoquiam. Wash, the other

without a pedigree, but with a bro.

hospital. lie hung around as if he

an occasional faint wall. He was
admitted, put on the operating
table and his leg set coming

and had il dressed in good hospital

CONSTRUCTIVE STATES
MANSHIP NEEDED

Secretary Work of the Depart
ment of the Interior, declares that
the need for conserving our petrol
cum resources was never more
apparent than today. He suggests
the formation of a committee com
posed of representatives of the oil
industry, the American Bar Asso-
citation and the Government to
draft a conservation bill to be pre-
sented to the next congress.
AT present oil is being pro-
duced on a scale never before
reached" says Secretary Work.
"a civil war of intense eompeti.
ton is today producing a waste
problem in the oil industry so big
that it is national in extent and in
terest. Unless the industry is able
to cooperate, huge losses are IN
eyitable.'
He says that the chief cause of
oyerproduction is overcompetition.
To alleviate present conditions
constructive craftsmanship is
plainly needed and the time is ripe
for action"

PRODUCTION COSTS
MUST BE WATCHED

Where competition is keen, Susi-
ness organizations make most OF
their profits by strict economy in
cost of production. This points ont
the most practical method of max
ing money out of poultry-the
most practical solution Of the prob
lem of the surplus eggs.
When hens lay 100 eggs PEI
year, the production costs per
dozen approximate 271s cents and
the probable loss this year viii be
about - cents per hen. When hens
lay 24O eggs under the same con
ditions, production costs per dozen
viii be approximate 16 cents and
the probable profit will be about
1920 per hen.
Gull out the poor hens and keen
their eggs off the market. advises
w. D. Buchanan, extension special.
ist in poultry at the State College
Of Washington. Give the profit
able hens excellent care and all of
the feed that they can handle.
1t IS important to get rid of all
the hens that do not produce a
profit, for the eggs laid by the poor
hen are not only produced at a loss
but they 90 on the market in com
petition with those of the good hen.
Thus they cause al second loss
through lowering the price of the
product.

FRANCE SEEKS new

American representations concerning
the new French tariff rates proposes
to accord American commodities a 90
per cent reduction of the general tar.
iff now effective, to hold during nego-
tiations for Il commercial treaty be.
tween France and the United States.
Since the general tariff is four
times the minimum rate, American

France has commercial treaties.
France asks the United States for
reciprocity in the complete sense of
the word us the only acceptable basis
for n tariff treaty between the two
countries.

French tariff schedule, the French for.

The League of Nations has pass
ed a resolution outlawing war,
Very good as far as it goes. But
how is the League Of Nations go-
ing to enforce that resolution,
that's the rub. The proposal is 10
submit all differences between
nations to arbitration, will any
powerful milton accept an adverse
decision and will a combination OF
other powerful nations enforce the
deciaion2 What would a law or
city ordinance or court injunction
amount TO if at the back Of them
there were no police, and as a last
resort the Army to enforce them.
/ see no successful outcome of the
resolution until there is an Inter
national force created, strong
enough to enforce The Court OF
Arbitration s decisions. And until
such u force is created the prac-
teal outlawing Of war lies in the
distant future. However, the sem
.timent is created and may gather
force as time goes on for the prac-
.ticil accomplishment Of the much
to be desired result.
