Show THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH, UTAH VIRE REPLACING FINEST HORSES USED STUD IN GOVERNMENT FENCE OLD-TO- E Stone Walls, Split Hedges Rapidly Being Discarded by Farm Owners. No U. S. Rights Have Been Surrendered WASHINGTON. No American rights because of the war and none of them will be surrendered. This tersely expresses the bases of the Harding foreign policy as outlined todayby an authoritative official of the new administration. Although no positive assertion was made, it was clearly Indicated that at the proper time the United States would have an influential spokesman to present its cause before the league and to stand rigidly for Americas claim that it aided to bring about the victory over Germany and will not surrender any American rights protected 'by that victory. When the time comes, it was declared, the United States will be found demanding: Recognition of a right to a cable base on the Island of Yap, a right now being contested by Japan which has the mandate over Yap. The right to oil privileges In Mesopotamia extended ,to nations affiliated with the League of Nations, a right contested by Great Britain. The spokesman for the administration today said it would not be the policy of the administration to be at all flamboyant or boastful or belligerent in the handling of foreign problems growing out of the war and subsequent treaty negotiations. But this much he made plain : The rights of the United States in world affairs exist today right-her- e just as they existed on the day of the armistice. No one has surrendered any of these rights; no one had any authority to surrender such rights. The rights of the United States could be altered or curtailed only through a treaty, properly negotiated and ratified; so far as the United States is concerned there Is no such treaty. Fifty Thousand Jobs on the Plum Tree of 50,000 appointments offices, carrying salaries aggregating more than $100,000,000 a year, are to be made by President Some of these have been Harding. made, many others will be announced during the next few months, while still others will be "made as the terms 'of present Democratic officeholders expire. The first fruits from the shaking of the official plum tree were cabi- road labor board at $10,000, and four net officers, whose salaried are $12,000 members .of the federal farm loan a year each.

Anyway, the American government is to have a hand in the British and French ceremonies. It will bestow the congressional medal of honor upon the two unknown heroes recently burled with imposing ceremonies across the sea. The bill as it passed the house was as follows : A bill (H. R. 16076) authorizing bestowal upon the unknown, unidentified British soldier buried In Westminster Abbey and the unknown, unidentified French soldier burled in the Arc de Triomphe of the congressional medal . of honor. Whereas Great Britain and France, two of the allies of the United States HONORS to the Unknown Dead in the World war, have lately done honor to the unknown dead of their armies by placing with fitting ceremony the body of an unknown, unidentified soldier, respectively . in Westminster Abbey and in the Arc de Triomphe ; and Whereas, animated by the same spirit of comradeship in which we of the American forces fought alongside these allies, we desire to add whatever we can to the imperishable glory won by the deeds of our allies and 'commemorated in part by tills tribute to their unknown dead: Now, therefore, Be It enacted, etc., That the President of the United States be, and he hereby Is, authorized to bestow with appropriate ceremonies, military and civil, the congressional medal of honor upon the unknown, unidentified British soldier buried in Westminster Abbey, London, England, and upon the unknown, unidentified French soldier burled in the Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France. It now seems likely that we are to have the same sort of a ceremony here in America that an unknown American soldiers body will be brought home from France and buried at Arlington, or possibly even in the capltol.

IMPORTANT MOST v Fair-Exce- Declares Tanlac .Enabled Him to Eat Better, Sleep ELEMENTS (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Of all the changes wrought in the farming Industry during the last cennone is more noticeable than that in fencing, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. All over the Eastern. United States there are hundreds of miles of stonewall fences which are monuments to the patience and thoroughness of earlier generations. Overlapping this territory, and extending west, are found fences of split rails, with their familiar weeds and berry bnshes in the angles, while still1 farther west, where there was neither wood nor stone, are seen osage orange and other hedges. These are natural productions of the time. The farmer usually finds today that barbed-wlre- l fence will or woven-wir- e best serve his ends for new construction, and at the same time cost least. Barbed wire is used on large stock ranges, where the loss of one of two animals .through wire cutting is not serious, but for the farmer with fine horses, or a selected herd of cattle, fences are targe mesh woven-wir- e coming more into use. Ends and Corners. The manner in which the fence is erected has much to do with its service. The ends and corners are by far the most important elements of a fence. It is essential that they remain firm and solid in order to hold the fence rigid. The first thing to consider is placing the corners. The posts used should be large enough to give sufficient strength ; they should be set deep enough to prevent heaving by the action of frost ; they' should be braced from each direction of tension by a stout rail about 12 feet long. Metal and concrete posts are on the market, but a great many farmers cling to wooden ones. The line posts should be approximately 4 inches in diameter. Various woods are used, including y osage orange, locust, red cedar, and burr oak. They should be' thoroughly seasoned and the bark removed, and to" get the longest life should be dipped In creosote at a tem- - tury (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The United States Department, of Agricultures stud of Morgan horses at Middlebury, Vt., contains excellent specimens of the Morgan breed. This fact was demonstrated when Troubadour of Willowmoor, the premier stallion at the farm, won the Morgan t allion class at the 1919 international show at Chicago. At the 1920 Vermont state fair the Morgan stallion McMcMahon was made champion. Mahon is sired by Scotland, a stallion bred by the late Joseph Battell and for the past several years owned by the Department of Agriculture. Scotland and McMahons dam, Beauty, are both sired by General Gates, for many years at the head of the government farm stud. McMahon is a full . Better and Work Bet-- 1 Has Gained Thirty ter. Pounds.

I would always have an uncomfortable bloated up feeling in my stomach, and although I tried many kinds of medicines, I- never got relief until 1 took Tanlac.
