IJScid Chairman   Lodge in part:    As
he great war in Europe pushed Mexico into the  back ground and  tnrned
the thoughts  of all away   from it, bo
there is at thia moment another great
attestlQU of onr relations to the civil-
_wd world which over shadows every
Esther.    When    the    armistice     with
Germany was signed the course to be
pursued  was clear.    It was  urged by
Republican Senators before the armistice and    Immediately   afterwards.
That  cpurse was  to make   the peace
witb Germany at once  and then cake
top for  reasonable  consideration   the
question of establishing   such   future
relations   with   our associates   in the
KB .war     wonld   make for tbe   future
peace of the   world.    If this had been
done   we   conld bave   had full   peace
with   Germany    tbree   months   after
the armistice.    This Mr.   Wilson presented.,'. He went to Europe with the
greatest  opportunity   for   large   service to tjbe world ever   offered to any
one man.    He insisted on going himself, for he   trusted no  one else.    We
then  had   tbe   confidence, the   gratitude   and    tbe   friendship    of  every
European  nation,    which   thanks  to
the President  we possess no   longer.
If Mr. ' Wislon   had said:    "Wecjame
bere to help you   win tbis   war in defense of civilization.  The war is won.
All we now  insist  upon is   tbat   Germany shall be put in  such a position
aa not  to be   able again   to threaten
the peace and' freedom of  mankind.
Our own questions  in the   American
'hemisphere we will care for ourselves.
,We  have interests   in  the Far  East
which we shall wish to  have protected, but your own .European questions
you   must   settle and we   will   accept
I the  settlement   to whicb   you   agree.
s We are not here seeking   territory or
I to   dictate   What   you shall   do in  re-
| gard to either territory or boundaries.
|*&-. Tben   indeed we should   bave been
^-entitled to tbe   gratitude of the world
i not only for   our decisive   services in
ithe   war but  for generous   assistance
I in making   a lasting   peace.    But Mr.
hWilson did, not do this. .He   had ap-
cparently  only    one   aim,   to   be   tbe
I maker of a league of wbich be should
I be the head.   He was.determined that
Ithete should   be a League  of Nations
% tben and there and in order to nullify
tthe   powers  of the ■ Senate   given   by
ithe Constitution of the United States.
1 he   decided   to make tbe   League   an
integral  part of  the  treaty   of peace
with  Germany.    Thus   he   presented
to the   Senate, and   intended to present,   a   dilemma   frcm wbich   he  be-
jjj lieved there was no escape.    In order
I, to  have    peace    witb    Germany   be
I meant to compel the Senate to accept
I with it the League of Nations. It was
| indeed a  difficult  situation   which be
thus created.    But Republican   Senators  believed   their duty to  be clear
before then, and did   not shrink from
„Bl£Uling   it.    Tbirtynine  ot  them in
March,   1919, signed a statement  setting  forth  tbat the first  draft of the
League as Mr. Wilson brought it back,
announcing . that  it   must, be  taken
^ just as it stood, could not be accepted
;y the Senate in that form. The President  returned  to Europe   with  this
warning   before  him and   before the
world.    He admitted   a    few    slight
changes in the covenant, for the most
part unimportant  and some of which
made the second draft worse tban tbe
l^first.    He   forced the Allied  and  As-
: eociated  Powers to  yield  to   his demand that the covenant of the League
j should be interwoven with the treaty
(x)t peace.    To    accomplish    this    be
surrendered    tbe    principle    of   tbe
principle of tbe freedom of tbe seas—
whatever   that may bave    been—to
Great Britain, and he made promises
and  concessions to  France—not  yet
fulfilled—which     brought    him    the
^French support    Having thus carried
.point abroad be brought tbe treaty
"with   Germany  borne and laid it be-
re tbe Senate.   To the   great   cdTass
[otthe American people he said:
|?*TtJla   covenant  of the  League  of
>ns  will  bring    to  tbe  world   a
ing,   peace."    Everyone    desired
peace and without pauaina to
or  even to  read  the   cove-
rtV^ thousands   upon  thousands of
pteople  united  in the  demand

FARM CROPS
Have Less   Exchange  Value
Than In 1916.
LABOR SHORTAGE
A Serious Question To Be Meet
By Farmers, y-'.
The exchange value of farm crops
for manufactured goods is less today
tban it was before tbe war, declares
Prof. J. F. Cox, head of the farm
crops department at the Michigan
Agricnitural College. Wheat at $3.00
a bushel will trade for less things
which tbe farmer must have tban did
the old $1 50 crop, and the same is
true of beans and other crops.
While the actual price that the
farmer receives has increased from
50 to 100 per cent, this increase has
just about kept pace with tbe decreased purchasing power of a
dollar, whereas clotting and other
manufactured goods bave increased
in many cases several hundred per
cent.
"The serious labor shortage existing on Michigan farms and the
alarming rate at wbich farm homes
ye being vacated, and lands allowed
to lie uncultivated, are facts wbich
demand the careful attention of all
who eat food in Michigan, as well as
those who produce and handle food
products," says Professor Uox.
"Manufacturers must do all in their
power to facilitate tbe release of labor for work on the farms during
planting and harvesting times.
"Conditions in the country must be
placed on such a basis as to make the
farmer, his family, and his helpers
desire to stay on the land, and to
bring back enough of those wbo have
already left 't o insure adequate
handling of .our farm lands. Farm
life must be bettered and farming as
a business must be estabilized. The
welfare of the entire state demands
that tbis poblem be met. •

*" - Of House Expenses      _
-     ACCOUNT BOOKS

Extension Dept.
RED CROSS
Meeting At   Methodist  Church
Sunday Evening
More than a thousand Michigan
farm women have joined their husbands in the great movement toward
bualneas methods in the country, by
starting to keep definite records of
all their household transactions and
expenses. Home account books prepared by the extension specialists at
the Michigan Agricultural College are
being used for the records.
By means of the account bopks
these farm leaders in home management are able to keep track of every
dollar that passes through the house-
bold treasury, with the result tbat
great savings are made possible. The
income for the upkeep of the bouse is
Spread out over a budget, items covering food, clothing, shelter, operating
expenses, and general advancement
being included. In tbis way the
"head of the house" knows just where
the money goes, and is able to regulate the family budget to the best
advantage.      .
"The need for a larger budget for
recreation and general advancement
is one cf the things brought out by
the average farm -women's account
book", * says Miss Edna V. Smith,
household management specialist at
M. A. C. wbo is in direct charge of
tbe home account book work. "Also
the fact that tbe farm home realizes
large decreases in operating costs
because of the amount of foodstuffs
produced on the farm is made clear.''
Although the first home account
books were printed only a little more
than a year ago, the work has proved
so popular with Michigan farm women that a second edition of the books
has already bad to be printed. Those
who have studied them point out that
the account books are fully as valuable for city ■women as L_rev are for
their farm sisters.
The books may be had at cost from
country borne demonstration agents
or directly from the Extension Division, M, A. C, East Lansing.
Some Autos.
- If anyone has a doubt as to whether Clare is something of a business
place, he should take a look at the
streets aud stores on a Saturday
evening.
At 8 o'clock last Saturday evening
we counted the autos parked on McEwan St. betweeen Third and Sixth
and for a half block or less off this
street on Fourth and 5th, and there
were 214. We do not believe this
hour would show the maximun nana
ber, but that a half hour later would
haye shown a number more.
We did not count the number of
single or double horse rigs, but it
was almost negligible. We feel sure
a dozen or fifteen would comprise the
entire number. It would certainly
seem that farmers are prospering.

Glenn 8. Keis, "Field Representative of the Am. Red Cross3* spoke at
tbe Methodist church Sunday evening.
There is no campaign on to raiae
n^oney and tbe meeting was not beld
for that purpose. Its object wae to call
attention to the actiyities of the Red
Cross in time of peace. Many suppose
that its only functions are in times of
war. ,
The Red Cross is a comparatively
modern thing in this conntry. It was
not till 1805 that Congress officially
recognized it by and act. Ten years
ago there were only 16,000 members
in the country.' Now it comprises
abont one fourth of the population.
.. In eyery port of consequence in tbe
world there is a Red Cross station,
so.that our sailors landing at any of
these ports can find friend- and needed assistance. In any great disaster,
ae fir^s or tornadoes, the Red Cross
is on the ground in ,a tew hours
rendering-needed aid.; .
It is now carrying cut "Home
Courses" that may be bad by any
country at a moderate cost. Three
hundred dollars or thereabouts will
pay tbe instructor for tbe course in
various places over tbe county.
It is giving especial attention now
to tbe returned soldiers, many of
whom are entitled to compensation
for various things, of which some of
tbem are not aware.

As this is written * the Republican
National Convention is in session at -^
Chicago and possibly before tbia issue reaches even nearby readers, the
candidate for president . m m> y be
chosen Senator Lodge as temporary
chairman made a vigorous address
from whicb we have space only for
extracts relating to Mexico and to
the League of Nations Covenant. Aa -
such a speech is usually supposed to
be a "key note" affair, it may be
safely assumed that tbe platform will
be in substantial aecord with tbe
sentiments Mr. Lodge expressed. .In
reference to Mexico he said in part:
From domestic affairs whicb 1 bave
only touched upon briefly, let us turn
to foreign questions, to our   relations
with   the   world    of    other    nations.
Look first at one of tbe most pressing
importance   just    beyond    our    own
borders.       Look    at    Mexico.    '■ For
seven   years   the   United   States    bas
been pursuing under the direction   of
the President a  policy   of   "watchful
waiting."    The President  saw   fit   to
intervene in Mexico.    As a matter of
fact he made war  upon   Mexico,   for
in tbe taking   of  Vera   Cruz   we  lost
some 120 men in killed  and   wounded
and     seyeral    hundred    unregarded,
incidental Mexicans were also   either
wounded or killed in the conflict.    We
went tbere to   exact  an   apology   for
tbe treatment of some of   our   sailors
at Tampico.    The apology tanas  never
been givest but   General   Huerta  was
driven  from   power,   which   was  the
Presinent's real purpose, and  Mexico
tben   fell   into   a state   of    anarchry
wbicb,   growing    constantly     worse,
has contined to tbis day.    The   Presi-,
dent saw  fit  to   recognize   Carranza,
who was chosen by  a   military  junta,
as political chief.    He thus   furnished
an essential support to   tbe   Carranza
government and what    has   been   our
reward?     Over   600   Americans  have
been murdered in Mexico,. Bome   under circumstances of great   brutality.
For these murders no reparation   bas
been   made.      Decorated   by     endless
futile   and   useless   notes   they   have
gone on unchecked.      To   have   been
au American citizen in Mexico added
to a   man's   danger.      Tbe   words   *'I
am an American citizen,"   instead   of
being a protection, as they   ought   to
be,   in   every   corner   of   the    world
were an absolute peril to anyone who
was entitled to that   high  distinction.
Mexico teemed   with   German  plots.
The Mexican Governmen largely   tbe
offspring of Mr. Wilson's   recognition
did not  support  us in   the   war   but
gave-aid so far as it   was   possible   to
the cause   of   our  enemies.     Yet   we
still continued   to support   Carranza.
His government sent agents into   tbis
country to foment industrial   trouble
and to bring on'strikes.    Tbey   allied
themselves   with  the   bolshevist   and
anarchistic   elements.     Nothing   was

insulted  tbe  American  . Government
jn every possible way and   still nothing was done.     We  fell so   low   that
when an American was seized by  one

held for ransom all that the   Government of the United  States   would   do
waa to  offer   to  be   the   channel   for
conveying tbe   ransom  of their  citizens   to  the   highwaymen   who    had
seized  them.     The   mere   statement

man who will think not only of the
rights of the United States but of the
welfare of Mexico. The Mexican
people would not resent - tbe influence or intervention of the*United

them peace under a president of their
own choosing. The great mass of
the Mexican people wish to work and
earn money. They long to be able to
sleep h_ peace snd not be subject to
pillage and outrage* Thousands of
