I’m teaching now.’’ “Where you been going to school?” “Wisconsin i university.” “Uh hu! Purty big school, reckon. How many scholars they got?” “Oh, several thousand." (Incredulous whistle from the In terrogator.) "Must have several teachers?” “Yes—about 400.” (Whistle.) “And you’re one of ’em, you say?

Winnipeg, Man., June 23.—Manitoba province has discarded prohibition after seven years of “bone dry” en forcement. Returns from Friday's election show today that a plan for govern ment sale of liquor throughout the province, including Winnipeg, was adopted by a majority estimated at 35,000. The Winnipeg vote was: "Wet”, 46,369; "dry", 20,371. Returns at 10 a. m. from the province as a whole: “Wet”, 81,628; “dry” 49,358. Claim “Dry" Unjust. Tne vote was declared suincienuy complete to eliminate any chance of a reversal. Government sale of liquor is to start as soon as th elegislature can be summoned to confirm the refe rendum. ' Officers of the Moderation League, backers of the government sales plan, charged that prohibition laws were maladminlstered and that the laws themselves were unjust. ‘‘We have fought a clean fight and a great victory has been won,” F. W. Russell, president of the league, said. “The returns show that the heart of Manitoba beats in unison with the aspirations of the Modera tion League for a purer social family and community life than ever could have existed under prohibition. Lauds Prohibition. "The results as indicated by re ports so far received are extremely disappointing, but.in no way effect our confidence in the validity and the value of the principle of prohibition”, declared W. R. Wood, head of the prohibition forces . “Where it has been adequately en forced, it has been of inestlmatable value to the community and in Mani toba, in spite of handicaps, it has cre ated conditions at least 80 per cent, better than they were before 1916." illePTto pf «m Buena Vista County Fortune to Pay $1,800 into State Treas ury—Will Divides Property I Storm Lake, la., June 25.—Inheri tance tax amounting to over $1,800 must be paid to the state, according to the report and inventory of prop erty filed with the clerk of courts by George M.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT AMERICA SHOULD RETIRE INTO SELF-CENTERED AND CAUTIOUS ISOLATION? 'JR, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT, IN VIEW OF THE INTRI CATE INTERDEPENDENCE OF MODERN CIVILIZATION, AMERICA MUST DEVELOP A POLICY IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS OF CONTINUOUS AND INCREASING CO OPERATION? j The general committee on the limitation of armaments urges that every effort should be made to stimulate public opinion to stalwart support of the propos al for naval disarmament, pre sented to the conference by the American delegation, but it further urges that this opportun ity, when the attention of the nation is fixed on international problems, should be utilized to the full in making clear the con trast between the conflicting theories of foreign policy isola tion or co-operation. Our generation must choose one of these paths for America. Either we must set before us the ideal of a hermit nation, self sufficient, distrusted and feared, sacrificing at once our hope of foreign trade and our share in the common heritage of civiliza tion, or we must give ourselves to the task of helping the world back to prosperity and peace. We cannot share the advan tages of participation in the af fairs of the world without being affected by its disasters and dis cords, without being involved in its problems and their solutions. If we are to refuse all responsi bilities, we also refuse participa tion. The whole world is now so deeply involved in problems that can be solved only by co-opera tion that it says—“He who is not for us is against us.” Iso lation today means hostility. "While whole heartedly approving the scrapping of battleships, the general committee believes that this move will lose its signficance unless it is understood to be the first step I towards moral disarmament. If the will to war persists, merchantmen can be converted into warships, new and more devasting weapons can be Invented. Our 100,000,000 people want less armament and no war. The first half of that wish is in a fair way of satis faction. The second half does not appear prominently on the agenda of this conference. In facing the larger problem of the limitation of the causes and probabilities of war, the people of the United States must choose between the ideal of nation alistic isolation—every nation’s arms against its neighbors—or a realiza tion that peace can only be achieved by *t policy of mutual accommoda tion and international co-operation. This general committee is unquali fiedly in favor of “an organic and con tinuing relationship’’ between the na tions, in which America will accept its full share of responsibility. It will seek to keep before the public, during this period of general interest, the need of some permanent international body to supervise the execution of the agreements reached at this confer ence, the necessity of further confer ences, in the near future, to deal with the many other and equally pressing questions which disturb the nations, and the obvious gain in convenience and efficiency to be secured by regu larizing such meetings, through cre ating permanent organization. No one can question the wisdom of Washington's warning in his famous farewell address. At that time the original 13 colonies had a population of barely 3,000,000 people. They could not have joined any European nation on terms of equality; “entangling alliances,” the danger of which at that time Washington clearly realized, would have meant dependence. In the days before railroads and steamships, before power driven machinery, before telegraph, telephone, and wireless, a policy of isolation was desirable and possible. In this new day, with a population of 110,000,000 virile people, with all the power of our inventions, with the wealth of our vast territory, and the productivity of the nation, Washington would not have coun seled a policy of timid isolation. This general committee therefore desires to revive discussion of Amer ica's attitude toward membership in a permanent organization among the nations for the establishing and pre servation of peace, but it is desirous not to revive the rancors and person alities which distorted the debate on this subject during the last campaign. There are many among the democrats who supported the "league” as ad vocated by Mr. Wilson, and there are many among the republicans who voted for this administration in con fidence that it would lead the way into an "association,” who are as much convinced as ever that "moral isola tion” is an impossible policy for America and who believe that our na tional welfare, as wen as tne more generous Ideal of world peace, de mands that America should take her place in the councils of the nations— a place of duty as well as privilege. J This general committee believes that the movement of opinion in favor of American participation in an inter national organization for the safe guarding of peace has been weakened, because its supporters have divided on questions of domestic politics, but it believes that the American people are fundamentally in agreement in this matter and hence it will feel that it has justified its existence if it can be to some degree instrumental in bringing into a working accord the two great groups of American citi zens, who favor a foreign policy, not of isolation, but of collaboration with other nations, active and continuing two groups, which, by partisan dis putes, have been kept from co-opera tion, although united In ideals of for eign relations. ♦ The general committee on the X •f limitation of armament is sup- -4 •I- ported by voluntary contributions. 4 e Those who are Interested in its 4 <► purpose and desire to receive 4 e regularly its bulletins, of which 4 <► this is the fir>i, will be put on 4 e the mailing list, if they send a <► postcard with name and address 4 «► to 4 4 William H.

Mechanical en gineers show that proper organiza tion and distribution of electric power would save $510,000,000 a year In power alone. And this gi gantic saving could be made in a small strip of land 150 miles wide, bounded by Boston on the north and Washington on the south. What would it amount to throughout the whole country? Included in the •cheme would be the electrification of 19,000 miles of railroads in the east. Mr. Fall, secretary of the in terior, says this nation in the pub lic domain haa $150,000,000,000 tied up in coal and oil alone. The people of this country, like the old Indians with their great reservations, have little idea how rich they really are. Comic opera still prevails in Mlttel 1 europa. Herr Charles of Austria-Hun gary and his frau owe Switzerland a goodly sum for board and lodging dur ing the period when Charles was plan ning his eoupe-d'etftt. It is between 2, 000,000 and 3,000,000 Swiss francs—not »0 much as it looks, but enough for any enterprising person to go on with. Charles cannot pay It. The states that were formerly Austria-Hungary mani fest a singular unwillingness toaceept any responsibility for the debt of their former ruler. It Is indeed a sad storj* Here is poor little Switzerland, first giving an ex Kmperor andhls wife asylum In good faith, then asking for her bill to be paid, and everybody turns a deaf ear. There is talk of providing Charles et al. with a handsome yearly Income for re maining quiet in Madeira. Hut the Swiss would seem to have first call upon any such income. Those who award the Nobel peace prize may have trouble in deciding whether it shall come to America next year, or go to Wales. It is a flue thing for humanity to have rul ers and statesmen competing for peace prizes, instead of seeking hon ors on fields of battle as in past dec ades. Unemployed Central American revolutionists must cast many an en vious glance toward Portugal where they have had five revolutions in the past year. Something else to worry about: During th* past week the issue of German paper marks grew to 108, 000.000,000. THE bolting of Chinese delegate* to the conference continues. I? Is said that they are “hearin* from home.” China, it should be ro called, is a twin republic. The south in control of the democratic Dr. Sui Yat-sen, having been refused repro sentation at the conference, ha/ served notice that anything done aj Washington will not be binding on it The government of the north, ai Peking, which was invited to appean is said by neutral observers to be tot tering. A figurehead for Japan, iti authority no longer extends beyontf the city limits. Meanwhile Dr. Sur "Vat-sen continues to widen his In fluence. riis program, formed after lonf study In western nations, is the build ing up in the Chinese of a spirit thaj will lead them to fight for theii rights, if necessary. The conference may prove the spark that will era able Dr. Sun Yat-sen to weld the provinces gradually into a strong na tion. The fact that representatives oj the Peking government are deserting the conference table with the ex planation that China must prepare ta “get its rights by force” indicate! that Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s policy is mak ing rapid headway. The resignation of the secretary of the Chinese delegation coming $ few hours before announcement thaf Japan had accepted the 5-5-3 naval limitation ratio inspires caution. It is a cause fur rejoicing to have tha American program go through, but it will take time to learn whether or not there were any considerations of fered Japan. Does the Chinese dele gate’s resignation mean that China was sacrificed on the altar of disarm ament? Absolutely no news is com* ing out of the secret sessions that it is not intended should get out. But it looks like a bad time to “quit.” China has everything to gain and nothing to loae. FIVE KILLED III Property Damage from Tor nado in Adams County, North Dakota, Estima ted at $100,000.

NEW LAWS TO AID DISABLED VETS Director Bines Explains Effects Of Acts of Last Congress As Benefits to Ex Soldiers. s Washington (U. P.).—Veterans of the world war, and to a limited extent those of other wars, are en titled to many new benefits under legislation passed at the end of the* last session of congress, and clari fied today by the Veterans’ bureau. Soldier relief is liberalized bjr the new act, which amended and modified the existing war insurance act, the bureau stated. Many of the new provisions were sponsored by veterans’ organizations. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, said: one or tne most important pro visions of the new Act is an amend ment providing in effect: “1. That every officer and en listed man or any person in the. more than 1,000 coal cars of 6& ton capacity already have been Is sued by the new company. These cars will be operated directly be tween the Ford mines and auto mobile plants over Ford’s railroad,, the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton. The recent purchases of the coaHi and timber lands is in accordance# with Ford’s plans to gain control of every step of manufacture, from., the basic ra.7 material to the de livery of the finished product anch thereby gain the highest quality afc. the minimum production cost. The First Purchase. Among the first coal properties* purchased by the Ford Motor Com pany were the Dexcar coal mines# at Twin Branch, 1C, Va. This prop erty was bought last November and thereby gave the company nearly 18,000,000 tons of high*, quality coal, adaptable to both by product and steam purposes. These*, mines employ about 450 men ancB. have a daily capacity of about 2,000 tons. Next, the Ford Company pur chased the Pond Creek properties* in eastern Kentucky, near Wil liamson, W. Va. It is estimated! there is about 300,000,000 tons ofC available coal at these mines which* are operated through eleven open ings. About 7,000 tons of coal ares produced daily at these mines, by about 1,000 men. Purchase of the Banner Fork:: mine added about 12,000,000 tons* of high volatile by-product cokingx coal to the company’s interests.. This mine employs about 400 men* and has a daily production of 3,000 tons. The Nuttallburg mine at Nuttall burg, W. Va., now owned by Ford . has a daily production of 1,000 tons and employs about 250 men . It is estimated that the Peabody coal lands have about 200,000,000 tons of coal. They will soon be de - veloped, it was announced. The Ford tvs scale has beer* placed in effect 9 all mines wit hit the result that the men are earn ing ajj.out 25 per cent more than* they Were before the properties-, were acquired by the automobile manufacturer. The properties:* have been placed upon the same* high basis of efficiency, safety and> sanitation that prevails in all ok! Ford’s plants. If more coal Is produced by the* Ford properties than can be con sumed at the manufacturing plants., it will beN sold directly to the pul>~ lie it was announced.
