The author of the winning plan has from the various discussions and pro- posals of statesman and diplomats worked out a plan which embraces something of almost every well known proposal made for international peace. There is evident in the pro- Publishers | DETROIT \| Kresge Bldg. | posed plan an effort to concede soniething to the proponents |s of the League of Nations, its bitter opponents, to satisfy America’s desire to cling to the Monroe doctrine and to meet the desire of the Old World nations that America shall bind hersef to sit around their diplomatic tables.

Court of International Justice as advocated by President Harding there will be little quarrel. The principle was endorsed years ago by President Roosevelt and the United States long before the World War expressed willing- ness to submit problems which did not involve national honor to this body for its decision and counsel. But when the author of the peace plan seeks to bring the United States into the scope of the League of Nations while at the same time-providing an aloofness which seems more apparent than real, he is essaying a compromise that appears on the face of it impossible. For while bringing the United States within the pale of the League, he at the same time reaffirms the Monroe doctrine, divorces the United States from respon- sibility under the Treaty of Versailles and would substitute 2conomic and moral force in military force. It was doubtless the hope of Mr. Bok, actuated by high . notives, that his peace contest would bring lasting results hrough intense public discussion which would follow the award of the peace prize of $50,000 and the referendum he s conducting among the American people. There is in the action of the policy committee in not announcing the name of the winner until February an admission that no peace plan fan hope to win lasting favor without the approval of the American people. With this view those who will oppose the 30k peace plan will agree. But they will see in it an argu- nent. for the exclusion of America from European affairs. Chey will argue that such education must begin abroad, that Surope must if she wants American aid take the lead in bating the race and national prejudices which ‘so easily + mouse the spark of armed conflict. Mr. Bok’s generous offer of $100,000 in the cause of peace, nd ithe- carefully worked out plan proposed and the best hought of the able men and women on committees assisting fr. Bok will not be lost, though the plan may be unaccept- ble, if a world discussion of peace and the ‘fundamental auses of war is promoted. g 2 CARBON MONOXIDE You know about carbon monoxide, the poison gas in auto xhaust.

The courts are full of cases and society has many instances of injustice and meglect because of the fact that death came before the! apportunity to draw up the ‘dceu-! ment. 4 The other day, down, in Montere, coihty, a rancher wag fatally hurt in an automobile accident.

REAL PROGH For the benefit of the few crepo- future of Stark county and the Mis-} Slope a@ an agricultural com- | , the Press desires to call) attention to two items appearing One is to the effect} that the first carload of corn (ripe corm, mind you, of high quality) left Richardton last week. The} ational bank of Taylor is taking in seeing that corn raised on Stark county farms is exhibited at the coming state-wide show at Bismarck. The first is positive proof that diversified farming methods have been successfully tried out in east- ern Stark county and have come to st The second item shows that business firms of that community know what is being done in their) midst and are anxjous to ‘have the world know about it. And when one beging to “tell the world” and has proof to back it up, it will bring interest and settlers. These .|items came to the Press unsolicit- ed. We are glad to have them so that we may have a part in adver- tising the county as it should be. {| While other communities in the county may not have shipped out} any corn as yet there is scarcely a farm within any of them but that has an abundance of corn reserv-: ed as feed for cattle and hogs. More of it will be raised this year. Corn, cattle and hogs are the first steps in the diversification of any community. Every one of these produtts has been increased during the past ‘year and 1924 will witness even greater strides in the agricultural development of the county ‘because of the progress that has been) made.—Dickinson Press. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton , Nancy was out shaking her door- mat when 4 z Tweedle called across the street. “Did you see my ys anywhere?

He's playing marbles with Tom Tinker out in the back yard.” But in a minute she came back. “Why, they're gone, too!” she “1 don’t see them any place.” At thut, Missez Sprat, who lived next door to’ Mi: Tweedle, stuck her head out of her second-story wi dow. It was a very unmannerly thing to do, but poor Missez Sprat was so fat, it was very difficult for her to go waddling up and down stairs for every little thing. So she called out, “I know where they are as Sure as anything. I <sdw them looking at the circus postérs and I wouldn't be surprised if they had gone down to the circus grounds, the whole four of them, to see the circus come in,” “My goodness!

I found him, when I entered the lebby, a very charming English gentienan who said he had seen my name on the register of the hotel and as hé had heard both yousand Walter Burke speak of me and my husband, he had taken the liberty of sending me his card, I have a vague idea now tha, I have heard you speak of him. He’ seemed to have known you very well when you were first married to Harry before I knew you. He has just come from England, where he tells me he saw Walter Burke before sailing. Evidently Walter had not tolg him anything aboyt Harry for he ‘asked about him quite particularly and seemed rather chagrined when I in- formed him exactly what had hap- surprise, was Mrs pened. “Mrs. Ellington seemed such a nice woman,” he said, “that Y cannot understand how any man could make her unhappy and when I knew them Mr. Ellington was extremely attentive to her.” He told me Walter is going to Egypt for the winter. He has ac- cepted archaeolog. berth with a party of ists who are really to get de of King Tut’s tomb in the next few months Walter had told him that if, by any possibility he saw you or John or me to give us his kindest regards and to tell us that he would “surely be back with us again next year. Of course, Ruth, I knew that mes- sage was for you and so I am pass- ing it on, Mr./Santly asked me if I were din- ing at thehotel, and I told him, as I was alone I had not thought of going ope hnywhere. He asked me if he might sit at my table and I of. course, was very glad to have someone to -talk to. All went very happily until I hap- pened tO see the people who were coming in at the next table. It was a party with whom Priscilla Brad- ford was evidently dinihg. I tried to bow to her but she pre- tended not to know me. I wonder why it is that I am to be dogged by that persistent pest all the rest of my life. Now, of course; she will write to Jack’s mother and he will be the recipient of another long let- ter retailing my reprehensible ac- tions. I have invited Mr. Santly, if he comes to Albany, to have dinner with Jack and me, and as I did it I wondered what Jack would say, especially if he got his mother's letter before I return. At least I have thrown off the shackles, Ruth. I shall do what I please in the future. Lovingly, e LESLIE. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Tic.)

At Clavering’s sugges- tion, Mrs. Oglethorpe, a friend of Mary Ogden’s in her youth, is | asked to solve\the mystery. She| calle on the young woman, receives a denial that she is Mary Ogder@ daughter, but beyond that learns nothing. € vi 4 Three weeks passed, There were | almost twice as many first-nights. “Mary Ogden,” 4s Clavering called her for want of the truth, was at each, She never rose in her seat again, and, indeed, seemed to seek inconspicuousness, but she was al- ways in the second or third row of the orchestra, and she wore a| different gown on each occasion. | As she entered after the curtain{ rose and stole out before it went down for the last time, few but jthose in the adjacent seats and| 'boxes were edified by any dgails | of those charming creations, al- |though it was noticeable that the |visiting of both sexes was most ‘active in her. neighborhood.

Others, more. practical, scoffed at these fancy theories and asserted roundly that she was either a Russian refugeé who had sound American or English invest- nients, or some American woman, educated abroad, who knew no one in New York and amused herself at,the theatre.

After all a the he of a taxi he tcld the man to drive first-night was a club of sorts. But their courage failed them. The crowd made way for her and she crossed the pavement to wait for her car. Clavering, always hoping that some ,drunket brute would give him the opportunity to succor her, followed and stood as close as he dared. Her car drove ug and she entered. As it started she turned her head and looked straight at him. And then Claver- ing was sure that she laughed outright. He started recklessly after tho ar, plunging between automobiles going in four different directions, and jumping on the running board of a taxi, told the man to drive like hell toward Park avenue.
