PICKARD. h Whether or not It wins to ihe cause of the treaty any supporters, President Wilson's tour already has had one important result. It has induced the senate committee on foreign relations to release its grip on the pact and report it to the senate for action. So the fight Over the treaty Is now transferred to the floor of the upper house. How .ong final action there will be delayed no man can tell. l The majority report of the commit tee, representing the views of Chair man Lodge and the other radical opponents of the treaty and League of Nations the 'latter especially recommends the ratification of the treaty with four important reservations, as set forth In these columns a week ago, and also It recommends the amendments then mentioned. These amendments and reservations alike, says the report, "are governed by a single purpose,, and that is to guard American rights and American sovereignty, the invasion of which would stimulate breaches of faith, encourage conflicts, and generate wars." That the adoption of amendments would necessitate the reassembling of the peace conference is denied in the report, since the conference probably will be in session for six months more, and It is also asserted that the German delegates could easily be brought back to Paris, and that, as Germany is not d .not a member of the league, be consulted about changes In the covenant Blame for delay is shifted from the committee to the peace conference itself, and the statement often made by the advocates of unreserved ratification, that trade cannot be resumed until such action is taken, is characterized as a "mere delusion." The report sarcastically calls attention to the fact that Premier Lloyd George In recent Important speeches failed to point out that acceptance of the league covenant by Great Britain had relieved the social, political and economic troubles of that country and had not suggested that prompt action on the treaty by the American senate would immediately lower the price of beef. As for the fears that other nations may not accept American amendments, the report says: "That Is one thing that certainly will not happen. . . . The other nations will take us on our own terms, for without us their league is a wreck and all their gains from a victorious peace are Imperiled." well-traine- d two-hors- two-hor- se fast-worki- ail table-spoonf- ul 10-ho- of Oyster Toddle.

Senator Norris of Nebraska took a whack at tbe 'president in a speech in the senate, bitterly attacking the expenditures of the peace delegation. He said Mr. Wilson "spent money in Paris like a drunken sailor," called attention to the payment of $150,000 to Bernard Baruch as a special adviser, and added : "Besides engaging an expensive retinue of 1,500 people as advisers whose advice he did not take, the president had a glass roof put over the George Washington and took musCclans from the Hotel Biltmore In New York to play for him while he was going over to Europe.". Dr. Karl Renner, on behalf of Austria, signed the peace treaty with that now petty country, but the signatures a of Roumania and were withheld for the present. Roumania objects to the clauses guaranteeing equal civil rights to Jews and other religious and racial minorities, and the Serbians were waiting for the formation of a new cabinet at Belgrade. There was no Indication of hard feelings between the allied representatives and Doctor Renner at the ceremony, and the latter accepted the ,treaty with the hope that before long Austria would be given easier terms and perhnps the right of and permission to unite with the German republic. Czecho-Slovakl- Senator Hitchcock presented the report of the minority of the committee, signed by the Democratic members with the exception of Senator Shields of Tennessee, who had declared himself in favor of the Lodge reservations. This report was no whit behind that of the majority In forcefulness of language and argument, and declared that refusal to ratify the treaty as It stands Germany, In reply to the peace conwould mean the sacrifice by the United States of all concessions obtained from ference's objection to the article In, the Germany under a dictated peace, would new German constitution providing for leave the Industrial world In ferment, Austrian representation in the reichs-ratsaid "the article would remain hv the financial world In doubt and commerce halted.

Is striking telling blows in behalf of the treaty and is meeting with enthusiastic receptions everywhere, His admirers, however, cannot fail to regret that he is descending to rather undignified abuse of those who oppose his policies, and that he resorts to specious argument in appealing to special interests, as when he told the farmers of North Dakota that if the treaty were not ratified Europe would not buy their wheat. Mr. Wilson's harsh words against his opponents called forth instant response from Senator Kenyon in the senate and from Senators Borah, Johnson and McCormick, who opened the speaking tour of the reservationists In Chicago. The president had called the senators who demand reservations in the treaty "contemptiblequitters," and Kenyon heatedly declared the "most contemptible quitters in the history of the world were those who assembled with high ideals at the Paris conference and permitted Japan to take over Shantung." Johnson also took this as his text and to the noisy delight of a huge Chicago audience undertook to show that it was President Wilson who was the quitter, In that he had gone across the sea with high ideals of open covenants, freedom of the seas, removal of economic barriers, reduction of armaments and for all peoples, and had come home with just what was handed to him. . one-quart- f them could by any possibility be dictated to Germany. To adopt any one of them, therefore, is equivalent to rejecting the .treaty." The report sets forth some of the concessions from Germany which, it says, America would sacrifice. Most of these are acceptances by Germany of action already taken by the United States and which the most ardent advocate of the treaty would not suggest that the United States would reconsider even if Germany withheld its assent. The really important point brought out In this connection was that unless we are a party to the treaty we will have no membership on the reparations commission, which for years to come will have enormous control over the trade and commerce of Germany with other nations. she-nee- once. ' f the brook ' the course of many a g publication types f hay presses, discusses their adaptability and operation under different conditions, and gives detailed Information concerning the management of baling crews. The question of owning a press or hiring the work of baling Is rather fully considered, as it Is believed that many buy growers who now hire custom balers would do well to give careful consideration to the advantages that may accrue from having a press on the farm, i Types of Presses Discussed. Presses are divided into three classes, according to the manner In which the bale is made loose or box or continuous presses, perpetual presses, and round-bal- e presses. These machines are operated either by horsepower or by steam, gasoline or kerosene engines. The perpetual press, which is the most popular type in all sections where hay Is grown for market, features continuous pressing ; that is, hay is fed into the press, a forkful at a time, and the finished bale is discharged from the opposite end of the bale chamber without stopping the press. If the hay is properly fed into Hie press it will be easy to separate the bale into as many portions for feeding as there are numbers of .charges In the bale, which varies from 6 or 8 to 15 or 20. The first feox presses .were operated by hand, but now they wre run by horsepower or by engines. The box press always makes bales having the same or "even" length, a very valuable feature when loading cars. Round Bale a New Kind, , i One of the most recent types of presses makes a cylindrical bale, bound with binding twine and having an air space running lengthwise through Its center. This press was designed so that hay baled from the windrow would cure out after it was baled, the hole In the center being intended to allow air to circulate through the bale nnd prevent heating. This bale Is not as easily torn apart as the continuously pressed bale, It being necessary to chop or split it lengthwise with an ax or other edged implement. When round bales are fed in open bunks or on the ground in the feed lot, they are not opened; the animal pulls out the hay by a mouthful at a time. It Is claimed that this way of feeding the hay prevents waste. perpetual presses, made by reliable concerns, are capable of turning, out the same kind of bales juiStMjlSM A pebble falling in Celery Is said to be especially good for sufferers from nervousness and rheumatism. It is a vegetable found in the market all the year and is reasonable In usually price.

The latest news from Russia, which from bolshevlst however, comes sources. Is that 12,000 of Admiral Kol chak's men have been captured by the reds and the surrender of the remainder of his southern army is expected. In northern Russia the situation of the antibolshevists is desperate. The Americans have left and the British are rapidly completing their evacuation of the Archangel region, ,tA delegation from the municipal and zemstvo organizations of that district has reached London and made a pathetic appeal against the withdrawal of allied help. The Roumanians, at last reports, had not yet withdrawn their troops from Hungary and their actions and lan- guage continue to be defiant of the allies. They claim to be acting as a barrier to the waves of bolshevism that threaten to flow over Hungary from the east. The Serbians, it is reported, are growing very bitter against Roumania and are talking war and moving up their artillery to the frontier. An interesting story comes from Vienna of the arrest In Prague of the leaders in a monarchist plot that is believed to include Austria and Hungary and with which the Archduke Joseph party is said to be allied. It is rumored the. intention was to put former Emperor Charles back on the throne. General Pershing's return to the United States was the occasion of a tremendous demonstration In New York, lasting over three days and culminating in an Impressive parade of the First division, "first to enter the war and last to leave," led by the gallant commander in chief. When Pershing landed at Hoboken he was presented by Secretary Baker with his commission as general, and on Thursday, September 18, he will be received by both houses of congress in Joint session and will be told formally how much the country appreciates his dls-- , tinguished services in accomplishing a great task with all credit to the American nation. The industrial sky was pretty dark last week, and indeed storms broke at several points. In Hammond, Ind., the striking employees of the Pressed Steel Car works engaged ;"ln rioting and: three of them were killed by the state troops and police. Then the members of the police force of Boston, who uad joined a labor union in defiance of regulations went on strike, and Immediately the disorderly elements of the city began pillaging stores, attacking women and indulging In other riotous demonstrations. The loyal police were unequal to the emergency and the mayor called for the assistance of the state militia. Several regiments were mobilized and went Into action against the mobs, seven persons being killed In the fights. All other labor unions in the city threatened to go on strike In sympathy with the police. The firemen also said they would quit if the policemen asked It. v As Chairman' Gary of the United: States Steel corporation directonitS' was obdurate in his refusal to meet with the advisory committee of the steeti workers, despite the efforts of Presi dent Wilson and others, the committee-callea strike of all union employeo of the corporation for Monday, September 22.

Through Secretary Tumulty, the president urged on Samuel Gompers the wisdom f putting off the strike until after the Indus-triconference that Is tft meet In Washington early next month.
