Tokio, Sept. 25__Japan is planning
to officially invite China to a con-
ference over Shantung after Japan
ratifies the treaty. This communi-
cation was given to a correspondent
today by an official who added that
Japan would naturally not compel
China to accept. “Japan,” one official
said “is anxious to settle the restora-
tion of Shantung as quickly as pos-
sible. and China’s reply to Japan
compels us not to change our con-
ditions."

Paris, Sept. 25.—Premier Clemen-
ceau delivered his long expected
speech in the debate on ratification of
the peace treaty in the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon. The whole
trend of his argument in favor of the
treaty was that it was one of soli-
darity between allies who were united
in war and must be united in peace.
M. Clemenceau admitted that the
treaty contained many inperfections,
but said that it waa the culmination
of a war of “civilisation and libera-
tion," the first of its sort in the his-
tory of the world, as the treaty was
the dwn of a new era.
He recalled the dark days of 1917
and declared to the opponents of the
treaty that if a peace proposal had
been made at that time, offering the
return of Alsace-Lorraine to France,
no Frenchman would have been de-
manded the insertion of any other
clause, but would have accepted.
The treaty brought back much more
than the loat provinces, he said. It
placed France on a high pedestal of
fortune and honor and in a few days
will bring prosperity.
At a meeting yesterday of Harrison
county farmers in the City Hall a mo-
tion was adopted that the farmers buy
scales for cotton weighing, rent a
yard, appoint a weigher and open
s cotton yard. D. C. Craver was
selected as weigher, and committee
composed of Messrs. Daniels, Wells
and Aiken was appointed to request
L. J. Womack, public weigher to se-
lect D. C. Craver as deputy weigher.
The committee called on Mr. Womack,
and the cotton weigher was appoint-
ed. The lot was rented and cotton
scales were ordered, and the yard is
expected to be open by Monday.
The meeting was presided over by
S. G. Bostick, with George Aiken as
secretary, and another meeting was
called for Saturday afternoon at two
o’clock.
Harrison county cotton growers are
asked by the Agricultural Cominittee
of the Chamber of Commerce to meet
in a mass meeting at 2 p. m. Satur-
day, October 11th in Marshall to dis-
cuss the cotton question. We are to
have a world’s cotton congress in New
Orleans on October 13th to 16th, with
representatives from sixteen nations.
This will be one of the most import-
ant cotton meetings ever held in the
United States, and it is urged that
delegates be sent to this convention.
Every cotton grower in Harrison
county is urged to be present at this
meeting, as an open discussion of the
cotton question will be held.
That the square will be paved is an
assured fact now. The Square Paving
Committee from the Chamber of
Commerce met Wednesday night with
the City Commisioners, and plans
for the actual paving were discussed.
All the City Commissioners were
present, and three of the County Com-
missioners, including Judge Strength,
T. S. Caven and Jeff Woodley. The
meeting was pervaded with the spirit
of-cooperation and all representatives
present were confident that the pro-
ject will be successful. A committee
was appointed to secure a survey of
the square and determine the amount
of material necessary, and to make
a report as soon as the survey is com-
pleted. It was also decided to aban-
don the proposal of building out the
courthouse lawn and squaring the
coping, as this would increase the ex-
pense considerably.
It is not known what material will
be used, but the cost will be consider-
ably reduced since the foundation ia
already down. As soon as the sur-
vey is made and the report received,
bids for the contract will be opened.
The paving will be paid for by the
City and County and property owners.
Several requests have been received
from contractors for consideration of
their bids.
Forty children of the Grover neigh-
borhood are brought to town to school
every morning in a truck. They leave
their homes at about eight o'clock
and arrive at the West End school
in ample time for the opening exer-
cises. At least four such trucks or
wagons are run in to schools from
outlying districts every morning. One
is run from Jonesville and Aiken in
to the Waskom school, which carries
thirty-five children. A wagon runs
from the country around Scottsville
to the Scottsville school and carries
twenty-five. Another runs from the
neighborhood of Waldron school to
Hallsville and carries about thirty.
In nearly every caae this is the result
of the discontinuances of the country
schools because of its inability to
employ a competent teachingetaff,
and better facilities are had at the
schools in the more populous com-
munities. It ia thought that the
Grover school will ba reinstated next
year with two teachers although the
school patrons express themselves as
being satisfied with the present
system.

Pueblo, Sept. 25.—After declaring
it his duty as chief executive to judge
whethe rthe senate actually accepted
or rejected the treaty should reserva-
tions be incorporationed into the rati-
fication, President Wilson added that
he would not consider “qualified
adoption” as adoption in fact. He
said he saw no objection to this in-
terpretation.
In two addresses in Colorado today
he reiterated again and again that
the whole controversy was resolved
into the clear-cut problem whether
the United States would go into the
league or stay out. “It is time,” he
said, “that the nation knew where
it stands.”
Meanwhile White House officials in
the Presidential party permitted it to
become known the proposal which
the President quoted in Salt Lake
City and Cheyenne, in which the an-
nouncement regarding the objection
of the treaty was made, he had been
informed had been agreed upon by
several Republican senate leaders. In
his review of the treaty the President
stressed the self-determination of la-
bor features, asserting if it failed,
then no great international tribunal
before which labo rm ight bring re-
quests for better conditions would
be held.
Mr. Wilson was applauded when
he said the United States was “too
, proud to ask reservations relieving it
, from responsibilities which other na-
i tions assumed under the league.”

Dennison. Texas, Sept. 25.—Three
• hundred and fifty machinists and ap-
prentices in the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad shops here went on
« strike late today in an effort to en-
force their qjurisdiction over "ox-
welding,” or heuvy-welding work,
which was given over to the black-
smiths yesterday. The blacksmiths
went on strike Tuesday over the same
question and returned to work yes-
terday when they were given jurisdic-
tion over “ox-welding” work.
Acording to L. J. Cowart, govern-
ment inspector of dipping vats, after
the erection and construction of dip-
ping vats for tick eradication in Har-
rison county is completed the yearly
expense for the eradication campaign
will amount to $10,000. One hundred
and four vats have been constructed
in Harrison county and are in opera-
tion at the present time. Not more
than ten vats remain to be built. The
average cost of the construction of
the vats is $150 per vat, but the vats
have been installed in Harrison county
at a coat of $75.
In August a total of 35,633 cattle
cattle were dipped. There were
thirteen convictions for refusal of
individuals to comply with the dipping
law, and a fine of $25 was imposed
in each case.
Mr. Cowart has thirteen inspectors
of dipping vats working under him
in Harrison county. The live stock
is dipped every two weeks, and at
each dipping an inspector is present
to supervise the operation, and to
test the dipping solution before the
animals enter the vat. Should the
dipping operation extend over two
days or more, the solution is tested
each morning. The adoption of this
precautionary measure was made
necessary by experience with individ-
auls who opposed the tick eradication
law. nd who nscrupulously strength-
ened the dipping solution until cattle
and stock were seriously burned, and
in many cases died from the effects of
a too strong solution. Once each
year the contents of the vat ia drained
out, and new solution put in. Many
stock raisers say that after their cat-
tle had been through the vat the
second time they showed a marked
improvement.. Mr. Cowart estimates
that the cost of the dipping solution
which Harrison county will use will
amount to 3,000 per year.

Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. 25.—
Congressman Carlos Bee, representa-
tive of the district will leave Wash-
ington Saturday enroute here to con-
fer with citizens in the storm stricken
erea of the Texas gulf coast concern-
ing rehabilitation plans, according to
information received by Mayor Gor-
ion Boone. Congressman Bee comes

as Congressional delegation to take

sther matters in which the people of
this section and the government have
a common interest.
Civil and military relief organiza-
tions report a decided improvement in
the food and clothes situation here in
.he last twenty-four hours. Proba-
bly all of the homeless have been
provided with shelter and food and
ample hospital facilities have been
obtained for relief purposes. Fuel is
now available in all parts of the city
and work is being rushed on an em-
ergency electric plant which will
supply electricity for the street lights
■nd power for the essential industries.
Chicago, Sept. 25.—Despite the de-
nial of union labor leaders there ap-

forts, but no disturbances occurred

Washington, Sept. 25.—Declaring
it the “grave constitutional duty of
the House of Representatives to as-
certain if any gifts were refused or
accepted by President Wilson in vio-
lation of the constitution,” Represen-
tative Rodenburg, Republican from
Illinois, introduced a resolution di-
recting the Judiciary Committee to
investigate and obtain an inventory of
the value of such, if any. The com-
mittee was instructed to investigate
what custom duties were paid.
Rodenburg said he introduced the
resolution “to clear out the rumors
of President Wilson and his family
receiving gifts while in Europe es
timated at $500,000. There is no
foundation to the rumors,” he said.
“A great injustice is being done the
President, and he is entitled to ex-
oneration.”
“The big oil companies are making
things permanent out there,” said D.
D. Dodd, who has just returned from
the Desdemona oil fields. “If the pros-
pects_didn‘t justify it the Magnolia,
and such othe rcompanies wouldn't
be making the developments that they
are. Houses of the best quality are
being built and concrete sidewalks
are being laid. Everything is being
dane with a neye to the future, and
the living conditions afe improving
every day. It is not hard to get board
and rooms there now, as it was eight
weeks ago. I was surprised at the
growth of Desdemona with in the
short time since I was there last.
There are ten derricks to every one
that was up eight weeks ago, and
they are going up all the time. There
is nothing like oil to make things
hum,” said Mr. Dodd.
Mr. Dodd said that in only one
place, a streak of four or five hundred
feet, had the wells failed to make
good.

Washington, Sept. 25. — Senator
Ashhurst, of Arizona received a tele-
• gram from President Wilson declar-
ing that he would render the country
and the world a great service by vot-
ing for the peace treaty without re-
» servation or amendment.
Some senators declare Ashhurst's
position on the treaty to be doubtful,
. and the administration leaders claim
advantage in the fight for ratifica-
tion. Senator Johnson of California
announced his intention of leaving
for San Francisco to resume the fight
against ratification of the treaty
with the League of Nations covenant.

Pittaburgh, Sept. 25. — Develop-
ments in the steel workers strike are
few. Both sides maintain a firm po-
sition and no advantages are appar-
ent The steel companies say, as they
have been saying since the second
day, that there is a stedy return of
workmen. They have made no claims
that large numbers have sought em-
ployment. ,
Strike headquarters have no figures
today, but claims are made that more
nen are leaving the mills every day.
The entire Pittsburgh district is quiet
today. Only one fatality in con-
section with the strike occurred wher
the State Police killed a man at
Farrell.
For several days guns have beer
fired into the plant of the American
Steel and Wire Company at Farrell,
and today, according to reports, the
police located the place from which
the shots were fired.
The best paying proposition, the un-
dertaking that will serve the com-
• r. unity to the best end, and the safest
investment for some one with a little
money who is willing to put it up, and
0 who is willing to receive a substantial
return from his investment, as well
as help out in in the pinch that is now
confronting Marshall, is the corpor-
‘ ation that has for its object the solv-
3 ing of the house problem in Marshall.
The original plan of the corporation
y was to raise $60,000 and build enough
-9 houses to fill the pressing demand, but
the shortage of material caused the
plan to be abandoned, or at least it is
proposed to abandon the undertaking.
A meeting is going to be I .d some
time next week to conside altering
the original purpose of the corpora-
tion and to install a mill that will cut
6 the lumber for a house suitable for
a residence. The mill will turn out
the beams, the sills, the lapping, and
. every other part of the house, cut the
required dimensions and ready to be
put up.
- According to Mr. Turney, one mil-
lion feet of lumber will be sufficient
to erect enough houses to fill the de-
aue mand for the present. Mr. Turney
3 has the mill already to begin the work
8 of tarning out houses, and all that is
S needed is the consent of the business
pP men who subscribed the $40,000 which
was to be used as originally planned.
The corporation will own the mill
. and will be its chief customer. At
the meeting next week the stockhold-
ers will be asked to give their consent
to the new plan.
