"We are being put in a false position be- ore the public by pernicious advertising and should take the only way of rebutting1 it and that is to play the same game the other fellow is play ing. Hither ethics or prestige must fall and I for one would rather it be the ethics." The doctor is right, ihe medical profession, if it wishes to maintain its standard in the opinion of the populace, must defend itself against the inroads of the so-called drug-less" and "painless". It must meet competition on an equal footing with its competitors. "Ethics" might have been the proper mode in the nineteenth century, but this is the twentieth century and twentieth century methods must be employed. The reason why we do not get better legisla tures is because we are Republicans and Demo crats. We prefer politics to proficiency. In Polk county last year at least three men were ap proached and asked to become candidates for the legislature. To say it rather emphatically, any one of the three would have "raised hell" with "what ails us". But not one of them would be a candidate. They knew that there were too many Republicans and Democrats in the county. They knew that they could not run the party gauntlet. What is true of Polk is true of every other county in the state. ssrrrrrtrrr-'"'""mM'""""'ma 000000000000000000000 Choice Eggs for Hatching A. H.

ALL WOOD AND COAL IS CASH TESTS SHOW CRACK SHOTS IN UNITED STATES NAVY Gunners of Atlantic Fleet Never Before Showed Such Profi ciency In Target Practice. HUGE WIRE NET FOR HARBOR PROTECTION In discussing the war referendum", the Port land Journal asks: "Would we have to wait for a vote if this country was invaded?" This is a ques tion that the most radical pacificist has never answered. It is inconceivable to him that any person of common sense would not know the difference between being "invaded' and "invad ing" somebody else. The importance of the eight measures that will be submitted to the people at a special election June 4 makes it certain that the peace and securi ty of an "off year" will be rudely" shattered by one of the most impetuous battles in the history of the state. Really it's true that some newspapers suggest that William Jennings Bryan be jailed because he sent a message to Kaiser William asking him to use his influence to prevent war between the United btates and Germany. Washington. Data made public re cently by the navy department show that at no other time lu Its history has the marksmanship of the United States navy been so good as it Is at present. The new stiperdrendnaught Nevada gave an example of the gen eral sliootltig elllclency of the Atlantic fleet In the recent target practice this ship fired fifty-sis shots from her fourteen inch gnus, and the target at vary'"!? ranges was smashed forty three times, a record that Is believed to equal,' if not surpass, any record with similar guns In any other navy. On the Nevada three gun pointers in nine shots with fourteen inch guns made a record of nine hits, on the New York Dine gun pointers made six hits in six shots, on the Oklahoma three gun pointers made seven hits In nine shots, on the Pennsylvania eight hits In nine shots and on the Texas six hits In six shots, and all with fourteen Inch guns at long ranges. Out of sixty-six shots fired from the twelve Inch guns of the dreadnaughts sixty-four were hits, while with eight inch guns the record of the champion gunners was twenty-two hits In twenty-four shots. With seven Inch guns the best record was fifteen hits in sixteen shots, while the champion gun pointers of the four Inoh guns hit the target thirty-nine times in forty shots.

When the diplomatic brealt with Germany came one of the hurried measures taken to protect New York harbor from submarine attacks was the construction of a heavy wire net The net, which will be lywered across the channels entering this harbor snd kept in position after nightfall, when submarines cannot be detected by spe cial methods of observation. Is similar to those which have been used In Eng lish harbors to keep submarines from preying on Rhlps riding at anchor. The heavy wire for the net was ob tained several weeks ago. More than two miles of netting will be used. It will be stretched between Sandy Hook and Rockaway point, crossing the three channels the Swan, the Old Main Ship channel and the Ambrose channel. During the day when torpedo boat destroyers, aeroplanes and a mosquito fleet which will be created for the pur pose, are sufficient to make it Impossi ble for any undersea craft to approach the harbor undetected, the net will be lowered so as to permit vessels to pass through the channels. From sunset to sunrise the net will be raised to bar all ingress for submarines at any depth. FOR SALE Single Comb Black Minorca eockerals; one Single Comb $ Ancona cockerel.
