H. H. TEBAULT. “BILL” NEVER SAW A LOCOMOTIVE Critic—You have written a fine Play. ‘There is one scene in particu lar that even Shakespeare could not have produced. Author—You flatter me. Which seene do you refer to? the fate of the other foreign-bought Russian commanders France thinks differently. But France's policy is now controlled by the militarista By the sword, therefore, France wishes te compé! Russia to submit to the control of Paria. Without doubt, France has special grievances against Russia, The Russians have repudiated more than a billion | francs invested tn Russian industries by the French people before the © war. It was loyalty to Russia which dragged France into the great war, when Russia went to Serbia's relief, All troubles have their source in Russia, Nevertheless, a spirit of blind, militaristic revenge ts rutnous tn in| ternational politics, Foreign aid to Russian disturbers has been | powerful support of the Bolaheviki regime. Even at the cont of anarchy any self-respecting nation will always unite against forelgn| intervention. Peace alone can disprove the creed of Bolshevism. All Impartial observers who have been to Russia declare the soviet/ system is far inferior to the pertiamentary system of democratic gow ernment. But, Rusia must hawe peace before the Russian people can discover this truth for themselves, France is the only power blocking the policy ef peace. France has read the history of her own revolution tn vain. But, selfinterest must eventually enlighten the French peopla. France, so versatile tn other mattera, must become versatile in foreign politics Motherhood Men have talked, poets have sung, artista have painted, sculptors have glorified the dignity of motherhood. And let It go at at It has remained for New South Wales to create the first “Ministry of Motherhood” in the world. One of the first acts of the newly elected labor government waa the creation of such a cabinet office, charged with the duty of making: provision for mothers and children who are forced to enter industry to make a livelihood. One of the duties of the new ministry is to administer the Inw endowing motherhood. New South Wales thinks that if a mother bears a large number of children, she has performed the most valuable service possible to the state, and she is to be compenmind by endowment. * Instead of talking about “race suicide” and deploring small families, New South Wales has decided to do something practical about it: If not to make it worth while to raise large families, at least not to penalize them. Definite detafls of the proposed new law have not been worked out, but ft is tehtatively proposed that a workingman's family having eight children, for instance, would have all but the first two subsidized in the form of an endowment paid to the mother, the money for which purpose is to be obtained from a graduated tax on incomes, to the extent of some $25,000,000 annually. It is a logical extension of the principle on which the pubile schools were established—that the community is and should be responsible for the welfare of its children. Points a Lesson Perhaps no mére unique memorial was erected to Abrabam Lincotn than whep John Finn of Decorah, Iowa, went into the woods and found a hackberry shoot which he transplanted tn front of his home following the assassination of the president. That tree has been nominated for a place tn the Hall of Fame for trees with a history which is being compiled by the American Forestry Association at Washington. ‘That tree teaches a powerful lesson as to what could be done toward correcting the forestry situation tn this country. Fifty-five years seems & long time to look ah but John Finn can epan the years and pari them quickly. There stands the tree, a towering leason and a warning. America must wake up and have forest crops just as the co mtry has wheat and corn coming every year. The way to do that is to have an intelligent national forest policy. More Light Desi irable Naturally, the Polish minister at Washington wants to know what is meant when Secretary Colby declares that the United States govern-| ment will employ “all available me "to maintain a free Poland The Bolshevik! don’t care a continental for moral pressure, an@ the only “available means” that would get anywhere seem to be the United States army and navy. In respect of the use of United States forcen tn foreien wara, Preat- dent Wilson would, very likely, find himeelf in some much dilemma as is Lloyd George, who is threatened with a rising of his own working! people in case he joins France and gives Poland aid tn the shape of armed forces. American public sentiment ia, unquestionably, strong for a free Poland but Americans are just as certainly unwilling to permit this, or any other administration to enter into foreign warfare on its own responsibility. of France's present; Billy Bunday ta not tm favor of letting “mutta, mollycoddies and cur- mudgeons” decide when we are to declare our wars. Which makes it plain that Bill fecls he's neither a mutt, a mollycoddle or a curmudgeon. Charlie Chaplin dodged the annoyance of a dworce autt by going to Ralt lake City, where Mormon domestic arrangements may make his own scem mild in comparison.

Model T One Ton Track an especially valuable factor in his business because of the flexibility as well as the reliability of the service which can always be depended upon to be given by this splendid truck. The worm-drive of manganese bronze carries all the power of the motor to driving the truck and there are combined in larger and heavier form all the elements which have made the Ford Model T Car the greatest motor car in the world in point of service. The Ford Truck with its worm- drive is most economical in operation and maintenance. There is very little, if anything, to get out of order at any time; there is the simplicity in control; there is the convenience in the flexibility of the car, it will turn in a circle of forty-eight feet; it accommodates itself to narrow alleys, and it “stands the gaff” of hard work day after day, and month after month, to the great satisfaction of the owner. There is of business activity where the Ford One Ton Truck is not really a necessity. On the farm, or in the factory, with the rgilroad, it is solving the economic delivery of merchandise and produce better than any other truck we know of. Any of the Dealers mentioned below will be glad to discuss the matter further with you, take your order, and see that you get delivery as promptly as possible. CENTRAL AGENCY CO.
