In 1008 the first Philippine carnhal was held on historic Wallace Field in Manila In February, when the climate of the islands Is at its host, and each succeed!!!;; year there has been a larg er and more elaborate celebration. The 1020, or Victory Carnival, will be the greatest event of Its sort ever held anywhere in the Far Fast. There are commercial and gnvern lnent exhibits in connection with the carnival, and on no other occasion Is it possible to pain at once such a com prehensive Idea of the production and HOMELESS TOTS, HUNGRY, WANDER CITY'S STREETS i i This pitiful picture, which tells its own story of auffaring among the, homolesfl orphan ot war-torn Europe,; wan sent to Dp Jo. h- B1U ef OkW noma City, by an Ameijean relief! worker In Poland.

When Viscount Grey's letter to the London Times, justifying the delay of the senate in ratifying the peace treaty and explaining to tho Iirlllsh the attitude of America Inward world affairs, was made public, It was at once assumed that acceptance of the pact by the senate, with the Lodge reservations little modified, would snon follow. P.oth sides ndmltted that the drey letter had knocked Im portant props from under the opposi tion to the I odge program, In that It made clear that Great Britain and, presumably, tho other nllied powers would welcome the adhesion of Amer ica even with the reservations. The Informal committee of the senate had failed to reach a compromlso and Hitchcock had given notlco thnt he would move to take up the treaty In the oien senate on February 10. Lodge countered with the statement that tho Republicans would bring tho pact before the senate one day earlier. As the days passed with no comment from tho White House on tho Grey letter, however, Iiojkj for early ratifi cation faded, and toward the end of the week It was widely reported in Washington that the letter had an gered the president and Increased his determination never to accept tho Lodge reservations or anything like them. It as as said Mr. Wilson nnd hh firm adherents looked on Viscount Grey's pronouncement as an unwar ranted attempt by the spokesman of a foreign government to Interfere in tho legislative nfTalrs of this country. Though it seemed tho letter had per suaded many Democrats that it was host to accept the reservations, it was ndmltted that the president could still rn'ly a Rtililclent number to pre vent ratification.

CURRENT EVENTS 1 OKLAHOMA STOCK MEN MEET MARCH 29 Southwestern Producers Association1 Contention at O. C. Stockmen of Oklahoma are going to make a powerful effort to get the rail roadB to provide better seivice for live stock shippers now that the roads are back in private hands again. Al ready the organized cattle raisers are preparing to exert their Influence and) tangible lesults are expected trom the annual convention ol the Live Stock Producers' Association of Oklahoma' which will bo held in Oklahoma City,' Monday, March 29. Delays in getting stock to market on account ot poor transportation serv ice is the general complaint or the live stock men who regularly ship to the Oklahoma City market. It is claimed that a delay of 21 hours in tho movement ot live stock within 100 miles ot this market is not infrequent. Naturally the shrinkage in tho weight of the animals is large and the losses to the owner enormous. Coupled with this disadvantage the cattlemen aie also having unusual difficulties in get ting sufficient cars, while it is impos sible to tell when they can expect the arrival of cais. Next to the business of getting more attention from the railroads, tho cat tlemen aie expected to turn an ear to the advice of A. Palmer Mitchell, at torney general of the United States, concerning the purchase of tho Okla homa stock yards. Under the compro mise made by the government and tho five big packers, they must dispose ot their interests in all stock yards within two years. Just what is the best course for the live stock produc ers to follow in the face of such a i evolution in the meat packing indus try has been an enigma, but the attor ney general advises them to buy tho yards. John C. Atwood, assistant United States attorney general, has been at tending many cattlemen's conventions and is urging the organizing of a Southwestern Stock Yards Company by the Btock producers of the south west. He suggests that it bo capi talized at 55,000,000 and acquire the possession of tho yards at Kansas City, Fort Worth, Denvor and Okla homa City, which points receive the bulk of the cattlomon's products. At present Morris & Company are the ownors of the Oklahoma City yards. 18th. 1920. of Nations in Pnrk uin, i,t1. ...,i JEALOUSY CAUSED KILLING Men in Bigheart Triangle Both For mer Husbands of Same Woman.
