Hill, "I should build a couple of warships a year loss. Perhaps one would do. I would take that $5,000,000 or $6, 000,000 and start at lenst one thou san 1 agricultural schools in the Unit ed S'ates at $5,000 a year each, In tK shapo of model farms." If everyone might have his way ho would, If he could, without injury to IiIb country, throw the wholo navy into the scrap heap and melt up eve ry riflo In the army. The appropria tions could bo used In scores of ways that would be better for tho nation and humanity In general than main taining forces of defense. Hut so long as other nations cast guns and assemble men-of-war, so long must wo, for our own safety, do tho same thing. Thoro has been a good deal of murmuring recently over what- is considered dangerous meddling in Asia. Ono may rest assured that this government will never go to war to protect the rich Investors. These men are taking their chances in China as they take them in business at home. Yet if Japanese immigra tion increases, if the conditions the Asiatics bring about on the Pacific coast become less bearable, and If they continue to replace white men at work because they will serve for a lower wage, the conflict is forecast with reasonable certainty. We have to have societies condemn war, how ever much everyone dislikes the Idea of it. Still, the model farm suggestion is a good one. It is possible that the federal treasury could spare the $5, 000,000 or $0,000,000 a year with out a strain. Indeed, these sums and more might be saved by putting a stop to such practices as, for in stance, the free distribution of five cent packets of cucumber seed. THE BUSY PEOPLE I JUDGE FOOTE ON LAWYERS. Judge Foote, of Topeka, Kansas, perpetrated a good joke on his brethren at the bar, In a statement ho made to a friend relative to terms used by tho legal fraternity, in which there Is a deal more truth than poe try. Said the Judge: "If I were to glvo you this orange I would simply say, I give you this orange. Should the transaction bo entrusted to a law yer to bo put In writing, he would adopt this form: "I hereby give, grant and convey to you all my in terest, right, title, advantago of and In said oiange, together with its rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pits and all rights and advantago therein, with full power to suck, bite, or otherwise eat tho same, or give away with or without the rind, skin, juice, pulp, or pits, anything hereinbefore, or In any other deed or deeds, In struments of any nature of kind whatsoever, to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.' " TOPICS OF THE TIMES. A Last-Call Rhyme. Hurry, Scurry, Worry, Jump. Spy 'em, Buy 'em, Tie 'em, Humpl If a young husband fails to kiss his wife when he comes home all tho girls notice It. You can't tell the size of a man's bank account by the length of his daughter'a feather. something you do not want by say ing that you are tall and fine look ing. In seven cases outof ten a com pliment is used for purposes of robbery. "TAKE SILVER, LEAVE HENS" A southern contemporary says "one needs but have one serious thing to think about to avoid wor ry." Tho trouble with most of us is that we have so many very seri ous things to think about that we never can settle on just one; Hence tho worry. "Auto knee" is the latest ailment in the calendar, but we are not likely to hear much of it, as it Is being cured without an operation. Spend your money on yourself, If you can't save it; don't give it to agents for something you don't want, and then feel like a fool afterward. "Can we love more than once?" asks a magazine wilter. Can we? Just study tho divorce court records and figure out the answer for your self. The cause of woman suffrage has grown so much since last winter that there is a noticeable increase In the number of men who are learning to do housework. ' As soon as a man becomes thor oughly skilled in certain work he be gins to use words common people don't understand, and they lose all Interest In him. There Is something reassuring in the news that It will require fifty men and several months' tlmo to count the money in the United Sta tes Treasury, so that the new treas urer may know the exact amount ho is to be held responsible for when he enters upon his duties That Minneapolis man who was arrested for eating dog meat ought to move to Marshfield where tho cltl- zeus would bo glad to see a number of canines devoured. That New York man who stole In order to buy a tombstono for his wife's grave was conscience-stricken whon ho realized that his crime didn't help his wife to rest easier. Last week an Omaha waitress mar ried a restaurant guest one hour aft er she served his dinner. Evidently she was determined not to do any waiting at tho church. Sir Thomas Lipton says that it is great to bo born poor, and Andy Car neglo thinks men ought to die poor. Between these two important events, however, there is the constant strug gle with the cost of living. If you are a short man don't let n book agent flatter you Into buying The Price Tag On Friends. And now once more we list our friends, On each a value place? We write them down and by each name, A. certain price we trace. A few there are wo hold most dear, Two dollars each we'll spend. On Christmas gifts for them this year, This makes "the tw.o-spot friend." Now then, a few wo like real well, We oft seek their advice, We must not mean appear to them, A dollar is their pi ice. This list too large must never grow. Or ruin will attend. And thus It Is we come to know Tho Christmas "case note Mend." Now comes a list, the longest list Of all, and note it well. For It contains more honest friends Than I havo space to tell. In gifts that we shall send to them No thought of favor enters; A necktlo or a handkerchief. Must do for "fifty-centers." And yet when summing up the list, The "two-spot gifts" for show; Tho "dollar present" goes to pay A friendship that wo owe. But most of love and sentiment I'm certain always enters Into tho simple little gifts We send to "fifty-centers." 'Thieves Ignoro Protest of Indignant California Woniun. LONG BEACH, Cal., Dec. 22. That hen thieves desist from robbing a coop because eggs are so awfully expensive was the request made by, Mrs. J. Baker, an elderly woman. The hen tldeves continued their work, unmindful of tho woman's pres ence. Tho robbeis did not disturb the storllng silver plate ln the houtei Mrs. Frederick Koon, tho daugh ter of Mrs. Baker, went calling. Mrs. Baker heard a squawking In the hen I house and discovered twomen trans ferring hens to a wagon. "Take .the silver, but leave the chickens alone!" she cried. "Don't you know eggs are 00 cents a dozen?" . The men Ignored the protest and the roosters, taklhg only tho money making-hens. HILL WILL RUSH ROAD. CARRY MAILS AT DEAD' LOSS. Peters Sas Small Roads Lose Money On Mails. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 22. Practically every 'small railroad n the country carries tho United States malls at a dead loss, according .to Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island Railroad Compuny, who called upon President Taft to pay his re spects. The appropriations made by con gress for- carrying the mails, Mr. Pe ters declared, are utterly Inadequate and ho stated that! he would take up the subject with that body this winter. Mr. Peters says his road receives $44,000 a year for carrying the malls and tho expense is $135,000. "We would stop handling tho mails entirely," said Mr. Petera, "but for tho Inconvenienco to our patrons." Suys Steel Laying In Deschutes Will Hcglu Jiuio 1. PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 22. "Wo expect to. begin laying rails on the Oregon Trunk lino not later than Juno 1, next, and by the following autumn will havo our railroad con structed Into Central Oregon," said: J. J. Hill, veteran railroad builder. here last week. "Tho work prelimin ary to laying the track Is'being prose cuted just as rapidly as tho employ ment of men and the expenditure of money make possible." "No," was tho terse but positive reply of Mr. Hill when asked If he would extend tho Oregon Trunk line to San Francisco. However, there prevails a very strong suspicion lo cally that there la no necessity for Mr. Hill to construct a road Into the ' California metropolis. There Is eve ry reason to suspect that the empire hullder haa acquired an Interest- In ' the Western Pacific and that the real i termln.ua of the Oregon Trunk line la Lakeview, to which point the West ern Pacific ia now extending Its line. This would afford Hill an entrance toll California, the goal he has long'"! coveted. FIGHT FIRE WITH BUTTJJRMILK.. CHOICE stationery at AVALKER'S STUDIO. IMPORTANT NOTICE.

A. plentiful supply of buttermilk saved' the little town of Peach Grove from destruction by fire when the plant of the A. F. Habberman Creamery Com pany was destroyed.
