Many hear the alarm clock, but few et up before it Titles again.
What the world is getting now Is peace on the time -payment plan. The clinging vine has disappeared with the leaning oak type of man. With sonn? women the style of uncovering the ears lias gone to their knees. When fanners' crops rot In the fields, opposition to fanner relief Is all rot. It Is evident that for a sick man Turkey has marvelous recuperative powers. Prosperity's sun is rising again, but not with a sufficient glare, to cause blindness. An International chess tournament probably was the originator of the serial story. Perhaps the school teachers are so poorly pah) because they're in an In fant Industry. The popular way to ask for higher wages these days seems to be to reject a pay cut. The reform business is frequently undertaken more to raise money than to raise morals. There Is no age limit for vamps even though some of them are Qld enough to know better. Greece missed most of the great war, but seems to be catching up rapIdly on war experience. The wailing hiccough Is a new aflllctlon. Presently we will have among us the banshee bronchitis. The only thing the Industrial and business situation needs is more In dustry and more business. The Increased sale of cosmetics proves the women's detennlnatlon to change the nature of things'. Nowadays when a thug has nothing else to do, he goes out and steals a few saeks of registered mail. What at first looked like an ordi nary drive may turn out to be a home run if the Greeks df-n't stop. Like any other new organization. the Lc;igue of Nations is having some difficulty collecting Its dues. It is also having some difficulty collecting sundry war debts. The United States government has Issued a check for cents to meet n twonty-thrce-year-old debt. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they. grind exceeding small. It Is reported that under constant pressure of liquidation "coffee has weakened." We always supposed that the more thoroughly coffee could be liquidated the stronger It would be come. The Ilolshevlk government Is oiferIng a reward of 2.000,000.000 rubles for the arrest of persons assassinating Bolshlo officials. Why not lend the winner the government printing press and let Mm roll his own? Russia has gold and gems, but what the world wants now is something to eat. to wear or to sleep under. The tug of war over the Island of Yap shows what a lot of wire pulling it tawes to control au ocean canie. In spite of treatment by specialists, it is feared the dollar never will be what it was in "the good old days." If Constantino does not quickly win the war with the lurks, dreece may decide that It wants to be a republic after all. eappearance of the nickel cigar in the marts of trade Indicates that the live-cent nickel is struggling back to normalcy. There never was an ex-king or an ex-prize tight champion that did not dream of eoming back. And once in a while they do. Another claim to distinction Is that enjoyed by men who attended the peace conference ami have not writ ten books about it. The farmers are saying that if things don't improve about the only thing that will be run Into the ground this season will be their prices. Maybe io-ojemtlve marketing' of Middle Western fruits will prevent the rotting of vast cargoes of them under the trees next summer and fall. proposals for military and naval bo nuses arouse great enthusiasm among the taxpayers until they barn who is to pay the bonuses. Then they resolve u temper gcavToMty u.t; frugality.
FEARS A WORLD IMBROGLIO
Hints That Bolah-vik Money Is In. volvcd in an Effort to Cause Brit, ish Revolt Scores Poles for Violating Pact London, May 1G. Prime' Minister Lloyd George, In a dramatic speech In the house of commons concerning the Upper Silesia -imbroglio, declare! the action of the Polish Insurrectionists was a complete defiance of the treaty of Versailles. 'I think It Is right I should speak quite plainly," Mr. Lloyd George said. "because, if these things can happen and we take no notice and do not deal with them with that stern justice which has characterized the attitude of this country In all its dealings abroad, it is going to be fatal to the peace of Europe. If that is disturbed, I do not see what Is going to happen to Kurope. , "I am alarmed, I am frigntened that. unless some confidence is restored to the world, the consequences may be of the most terrible character." Mr. Lloyd George said there w ere two ways of dealing with the Silesian situation. One was that troops of the allies assist in restoring order. It was not for him to express a military opin ion, and he did not insist on this part of the program, but he was entitled to insist on an alternative. Hither the allies ought to Insist upon the treaty's being respected, or they ought to al ow the Germans to do so. The prime minister continued: "Not merely to disarm Germany, but to say that such troops as she has are not to be permitted to take part in restoring order that is not fair. To say to Germany: 'Here is your province, here is something which has been decided by the Versailles treaty either for or against you, but the Poles are to be allowed In defiance of that treaty to take it, and you will not be allowed to defend yourselves in a province which has been yours for -00 years and winch cer tainly has not been Polish for 000 years,' is discreditable and not worthy of the honor of any laud. "The only thing which I would like to say in behalf of the government Is this: "Whatever happens, we cannot ac cept r. fait accompli. That would be to permit a defiance which might lead to consequences of the most disastrous HiU. Mr. Lloyd George declared tl,. treaty of Versailles was the charter of Polish freedom, and that she was the last country of Kurope who had the right to complain about the treaty. Poland did not win her liberty, the prime minister asserted ; her liberty was due to Italy, Great Britain and France. "There is not a letter of the treaty that does not mean a young British life, that does not mean nearly two French lives, and there were hundreds of thousands of Italians," the prime minister continued. Mr. Lloyd George cited that the Poles were divided in the war, half of them fighting with the Germans. "They fell in German uniforms," lie declared, "and shot down Frenchmen, British and Italians who were fighting for their freedom. "I see Korfanty (leader of the Polish insurrectionists) has said that the Poles in Silesia would die rather than Flirrender. If they had thought that parlier, when the battle for Polish freedom was being fought, there would have been fewer British, French and Italian lives lost. But they only think of it when the Germans are disarmed und helpless. "The Polish government has repudiated responsibility, and I am hound to accept that statement as representing their views. But It has happened oi:ce too often." The prime minister recalled the settlement with Lithuania, to which the United States, France, Italy and Great Britain were parties. "Vllna was occupied by regular Polish troops in defiance of the allies," he said. "They were asked to retire, and they said: " 'We have no responsibility for it. "The same thing Is happening now. The same disclaimer of responsibility. Arms passing from Poland and officers crossing her frontiers make It very difficult to feel that those repudiations of responsibility are anything but purely verbal." Mr.' Lloyd George pleaded for the upholding of the treaty both for the fake of honor and for safety and security. Bandits Kill Gary Grocer. Gary. Ind.. May 14. Frank Zczlrkl.

The Tincher bill to regulate dealings in grain futures was passed by the house and sent to the senate. The vote was L'C'J to O'J. The measure is designed to abolish the practice in grain markets of "puts" and "calls," "ups" and "downs" and "indemnities" by levying a tax of 20 cents a bushel on such transactions. A similary tax is provided on contracts for future delivery, made out side of "contract markets," to be de signed by the secretary of agriculture, except when the seller is the actual possessor of the grain. Chicago, May 14. Giving it as his deliberate judgment that the grain exchanges of the country will withdraw from business and close rather than submit to the "intolerable, unfair and arbitrary features' of the Tincher bill passed by the house of representatives. President Joseph P. Griffin of the Chi cago Hoard of Trade Issued a formal attack on the proposed legislation in Us present form as undemocratic, ar bitrary and destructive to business. In his statement he said: y "The Tincher bill, though passed by the house, must pass the senate and be signed by the President before it becomes a law, and I am contident that neither the senate nor the Presi dent will approve it in its present form." JAB PR!rST IN MAIL THEFT Rev. Father Anthony Gorek of New Chicago, Ind., Had $85,000 Bonds Stolen From Toledo, O. Chicago, May 14. Temptation In the form of $S3,000 In Liberty bonds sought out Itev. Father Anthony Go rek, head of an impoverished Kornau Catholic parish in New Chicago, Ind. The priest, held as an accessory to theft, told United States secret serv ice agents the dramatic story of how he had fought a losing battle with the seductive bonds, and had finally sur rendered. He had spent 1,140 of the money to pay the debts of his parish and to buy food for his jobless parishloners. The secret service agents found the bonds, amounting to $S3,000, less just' the 1,140. where the priest said he had hidden them. On the information which he gave Mrs. Wanda Urbortls, a former pa rishioner, was arrested in Toledo, 0. It is thought that her confession will clear the 1,000.000 mail robbery In the Ohio city in which the bonds were stolen.

RELATES LATER EXPERIENCE
Declares That the Way Tanlac Re stored Her Health Is More Remarkable Than Anything She Has Ever Had Happen to Her. "I've bad sonn romnrknbb expe riences in my life, but none more won derful than the way Tnnhie overrame my troubles ami made nu jraln twenty pounds," was the statement of Mrs. Christina K. Dinznian. V2U Albv St.. Oakland, Calif. One of the experiences to which Mrs. Dingman refers is well known to her fi lends. When a child of three years, accompanying her fa ther, a noted sea captain, on an ocean trip, the vessel was wrecked, but she was almost miraculously save!, the smaJl box into which she was put tini; washed ashore. Acconlin to her statement, Mrs. Dingman enjoyed the liest of health until three years a? when she bepan to suffer from a bad form of stomach trouble and later from rheumatism. How she was completely restored to health is best told in her own words: "Nobody knows how I suffered for the past three years. No matter how carefully I ate I would endure anies afterwards from smothering and sinking spells. Sometimes they wre so severe I would f:ill to the tloor and would have to be carried to bed. I went for days at a time without eat ing, as I dreaded the misery I knew would follow, no matter what I ate. Then rheumatism set in and iuy shoul ders and arms hurt me so I couldn't comb my hair. My back felt like It was breaking in two. "I was almost in the depths of de spair when I began on Tanlac, but this grand medicine has made nie a well and happy woman. I'm not even troubled with constipation now, thanks to the Laxative Tablets, which are far superior to anything of the kind I ever tried. It seems almost too good to be true, but here I am in the best of health and spirits after I had given up hope, and I'll always praise TanJav for It." Tanlac is sohl by leading druggists everywhere.
