IIKAVKK PltOPHRTV CHANGING
HANDS
A number of changes In Heaver
property has taken ploco the past
week. Among the realty deals was
ono In which Jns. II. Crabtree sold
his rosldenco property across tho
street from tho federated church to
J. W. Webb and. In turn. Mr. Crab-
treo purchased tho D. B Kinder resi-
dence property on tho West Sldo. Mr.
Kinder and wlfo will return to their
farm southwest of Heaver soon wo
understand.
Mrs. C. T. Smith visited n few
days the past week at Knowles with
Mrs. W. 0. Parker and other friends.
Don't forgot tho SUED POTA-
TOES at D. A. Cntos' at $3.85 per
. bushel.
"Clean-up" campaigns' aro begin-
ning now to start in earnest through-
out .the- state. During the next "lew
weeks and until the hot weather sets
In Is the logical time to do Spring
cleaning.
Somo of the cities and larger
towns' have planned to spend one
whole week "clennlng-up". Most of
the municipalities however will cen-
ter their etfort on one day. Addition-
al men and women havo been pro-
em ed to haul away tho unusually
largo amount of tin cans and rubbish
which It Is expected will be piled on
tho rear of tho lots and In the alleys.
To encourage the younger folks to
also take part In the Spring "over-
hauling" one of the state's progres-
sive little cities Is offering a show
ticket to the boy or girl who will
bring In 25 tin cans on "clean-up"
day.
Another city that has always been
notul tor Its civic pride will give cash
prizes ranging from $40 down to $5
tor the best kept premises dining
the s ii miner. Such prizes arc qf
course not of much moment when
considered purely from tho stand-
point of their intrinsic worth but
they add a new zest to nn old duty
and bcttter still they creato a spirit
of friendly rivalry that Is worth un-
told dollars to tho morale and health
of a community.
Heaver hasn't planned a "clean-
up" time It should do so at once.
Spring Is hero and so Is "Clean-
up Day I"

I. N. EDWARDS President
Your Account Appreciated
Washington March Upon Prcsl
dent Wilson alone la laid tho entire
blame for the defeat of the peac
treaty and tho league of nations.
Members of congress Irrespective
of party have no hesitancy In this
conclusion. After tho failure of the
treaty to get through tho senato last
fall popular opinion demanded thnt
comcthlng be done to make another
attempt at ratification. Some of tho
most obdurato of the Demlcnitlc sen-
ators who had been acting under
tho White House lash wore ready
to accept what would practically am-
ount to the Lodge reservations. Am-
ericanizing the treaty. If the presi-
dent were willing to change his un-
compromising nttltude of demanding
that It bt- accepted In Just tho form
In which he sent it to tho senato.
Senator Lodgo und other Republi-
can leaders In the senate therefore
brought up the defunct treaty again
In order to do everything lir their
power to put over n lqwjtte of nations
which would conserve American na-
tionality The effort proved useless.
After mnnenvcilngs for political po-
sition the president finally let It bo
known that he considers Article X
as essential to the treaty and its res-
ervation a nullification of tho league.
Tho president's reasons for hl3
stand on this are considered specious
and Illogical. He declares in his last
statement on the subject thnt tho
thing the American troops In Franco
fought for and knew that they fought
for was an organization of peace
known ns the league of nations nnd
thnt to deny them tho full league bb
It was originally written would be
a direct slap at them.
Republican senators on tho other
hnnd take the view thnt what tho
American soldiers fought for was tho
protection of American righto on tho
sca against German autocracy. They
declare that the American boya across
tho sea had no conception of
n league. These Fame senators con-
tend that Article X would utilize
the vitality of the United States in
all future time to uphold tho Brit-
ish and all other empires In perpet-
uity; that It would mean a world
held within present boundaries as
against any development of civiliza-
tion which would include freedom
for Ireland and India. They declare
that to reserve tho right of the Am-
erican congress to decide when It be-
lluve.Ainerlca should go to war to
uph6)4 the boundaries of nny other
nation anywhere Is only reasonable
and a national safeguard.
The president Is of the belief that
congress of necessity retains this
right under the constitution and that
It would be superfluous lo writo It
fnto the reservation to Article X. The
Hopublican leaders bellevo thnt tho
creation of a fuperstato to which
congress ns the legislative body rep-
resenting the American people gives
Its assent derogates from such n pow-
er to declare war They therefore
have sought to reserve this power
specifically' so that thero might be
no question about It In tho future In
any controversy that might arise.
Tho president says to expressly re-
servo such a right nullfles the entire
treaty. The Republican leaders de-
clare that America's Interest are first
with them and that they must pro
tect thorn. The president appeals
for "what It Is possible to accomp-
lish for humanity Instend of special
national Interests" and tho Repub-
licans retort that If America's Inter-
ests nro conserved the Interest of the
world will ultimately bo conserved
also for tho reason that America
stands for republicanism nnd repre-
sentative government as against mon-
archy nnd empires. Thus tho presi-
dent whoso uttltudo Is thought horo
to be artltrary and opinonatod clings
to his determination to have tho cov-
enant just ns ho agreed to it and
tho Republicans of tho senato who
want final peace so that reconstruc-
tion may go on but are not willing
to sacrifice America In order to do
so corno to disagreement and tho
treaty for lite second tlmo falls.
MASONIC HALL PROJECTED
The proposition to build a Masonic
Hall here which linn been agitated
for somo lime took moro tangible
form this week when tho local or-
ganization voted to purchase a site
for such a purpose and closed a deal
with tho editor of Tho Herald fox
tha purchase of lot 7 block 109
Heaver. This lot adjoins the Ford
Gnrugo on the north. Wb understand
that tho Masons and Knights of
Pythias aro conforlhg together rela-
tive to building. Tho K of P. lodge
owning the lot Adjoining the lot Just
purchased by tho llasons.
AMERICAN LEGION PULLS Ol-V
IUCI STUNT
One of tho biggest stunts that has
been pulled olf In Heaver for some
tlmo nnd equalled only by tho Red
Cross and other war-time affairs was
tho American Legion bnnquot and
Jancc Friday night of last week giv-
en under tho auspices of ncavcr Post
No. 149.
Tho banquet was sorved to tho ex-
service men and their ladles and was
prepared by tho Pythian Sister lodge
of Heaver. Hcavor County Chapter
American Red Cross sprung tho sur-
prlso of tho event when nfter tho
Legion had arranged for tho banquet
nnd all plans wore comploto It was
announced that the banquet was ten-
dered tho cx-sorvlec men freo of
charge the Red Cross paying tho bill.
Tho Pythian Sisters nro entitled to
much pralSo for tho splendid banquet
which they served. On account of tho
occasion they mado a special effort
and words fail us to adequately
describe tho excellence of tho feast
which was spread. Everything that
goes Into making of n comploto ban-
quet was prepared by them nnd was
served without a fault. The menu
wns roast turkey cranberry Jolly
mashed potatoes brown gravy dress-
ing salad of various kinds eclory
nlckles. nlhes. cake brick icn cream
and coffee. The tables were bcnutl-
ful decorated with American flaga
Red Cross flags nnd red nnd white
carnations. Tho Federated church
In which the banquet was served was)
also tnsK'iuiiy uecoratcu in mo na-
tional colors with Old Glory occupy-
ing a placo of prominence Orchestra
music wns furnished during tho norv-
ing followed which a number of
toasts were responded to Geo T.
Murphy. Post Commander was toast
master. Those who spoke wero: Joo
E. Meeiso Geo. Cnfky Leandor Nlles
Wade Loofbourrow .1. R. Qulnn and
Miss Maudo O. Thomas.
Following the banquet a dance was
given at the Overland Garago. The
room was decorated with tho Nation
at colors surrounded by the flags of
the Allies and was most attractive.
Music was furnhhed by an orchestra
und it was SOME orchestra too be-
lieve us. Local talent who assisted
wero: J. n. Couch C. K. Drum
Dudo Hart and perhaps others whom
we failed to note for to tell tho
truth we were too busy enjoying the
splendid dn n co to notice except to
know that the music was fine." A
large crowd enjoyed tho dnnce many
coming from a distance and all re-
mained until a lnte hour.
Altogether tho affair was a marked
succsh and the Legion boys are to be
congratulated.
