Wes Whittle, a teamster down la E, Lowell, Ark., was so patriotic daring fin the fall of 1918, before the Hun was K finally vanquished, that he put a K? mortgage on his team and wagon for If 980 and bought War Savings Stamps ; Sg in his desire to do his duty by the ^ government.

WILSON INSISTS ON PEACE LEAGUE AS PARTY ISSUE Washington, April 24.?President Wilson has served notice on his 1 party that he will not consent to the League of Nations being made a cam J paign issue in a mere prefunctory way. The president's position that the' league is a paramount issue was made clear in a letter read to the' I democracy of Kansas at its state convention yesterday. In it the president said that "the issue which it is our duty to raise with the voters of the country involves nothing less than the honor of the United States and the redemption of its most! solemn obligations; its obligation to! its associates in the great war, andj to mankind, to whom it gave the most explicit pledge that it went to war not merely to win a victory in arms but also to follow up that victory with the establishment of such a concert of nations as would guarantee the permanence of a peace based on justice." Commenting on this letter today, leading Democratic politicians said it clearly indicated the president intended to insist that the Democratic convention at San Francisco, and the party in the campaign afterward, rely upon the league issue almost entirely. Recently many politicians in the Democratic party have' been drifting away from the league as the chief issue. They say the people of the country are not interested in the league as the big question of this year's campaign; that to them the high cost of living is the one big issue. These Democrats would not lose sight of the league entirely bu if their ideas prevail it would be ai . good clo are a Les-buying as an inves of value rather than t vou oav that's impoi -j ? 1 J X Kuppenheimer good irials and tailoring _ ppearance - faithful vestment in satisfactior (IvEK & KE incidental issue in the Democra ' campaign.
