At recent meeting of the National Editorial

of The American Magazine took few shots at "the
cynical city journalists" who make fun of the social
columns and other personal items in rural papers.
He said that these features the most important

Owners and editors not paid nowadays in pro-

they have conscientiously preserved it later. When

SPREAD OF All CLUBS

Last year 619,712 American boys and girls
better fitted themselves for rural community life and
leadership through All Club activities, under the
cooperative direction of the Extension Service of
the Department of Agriculture
Of the total number enrolled, nearly 100000
completed the tasks projects assigned to them,
according to reports received from 1922 county ex-
tension agents throughout the country.
Addressing 148 champion farm boys and girls
at the national club camp recently held in Wash
ington Dr. C.. B. Smith, chief of cooperative extern
sion work. stated the purpose of the clubs to be that
of aiding rural boys and girls in improving farm
and home practices and in broadening the social life
of their communities; in making them appreciate
the possibilities of rural life and helping them to
become efficient farmers and homemakers, and
training them for leadership in their local districts
The members taught to "work together,
counsel together, play together, cooperate and
achieve"
There is no doubt that one of the foremost
needs Of rural people is better cooperation among
themselves. Club work teaches boys and girls how
to cooperate.

NEW PEACE TREATIES

Terms of the peace treaties which are
sought to be made between fifteen or more leading
powers through the initiative of Secretary of State
Kellogg of the United States short and to the
point The entire agreement is contained in these
few words:
"The high contracting parties solemnly dec are
in the of their respective peoples that they
condemn recourse to war and renounce it as an in
strument of national policy in their relations with
another. They agree that the settlement of all
disputes of whatever nature of whatever origin
which may arise between them shall be sought
except by pacific means"
SO far the actual agreement is concerned,
that is all. Yet in these two short sentences are
contained pledges which, if faithfully kept would
Danish from great portion of the earth. 1t is
also provided that other nations may join in these
pladges at any time.
While it is perhaps too much to hope that war
be entirely abolished these treaties, to which
the United States, Great Britain, Germany France,
Italy, Japan and nine other nations have already
given informal asset, if actually signed will mark
the greatest practical step in the interest of
ever taken since the dawn of civilization.
