Augurta Wall. I equipment and It would be good sense for this government to know at nil times where and how It can secure Fuch material on short notice. Yet after all our best reliance for safety lies In following a policy ot fairness and Justice to all. While we do that it is inconceivable that any nation will want to attack this coun try. This country Itself should never enter a war of aggression against an- thi-r country. There is no excuse whatever for any hysterical campaign for military preparation such as Rep resentative Gardiner would like to sec pulled off. Such a campaign would U. a soft snap for battleship building concerns and others who would profit by such expense, but it might do more harm than good from the standpoint of national security. If we had a big army and navy we w ould be craxy to use it on someone and sooner or later we would be plunged Into war. Hydrophobia is a dread disease be cause when it is allowed to develop it is Invariably fatal Hroarc the Therefore the preval rnroia ence of rabies among the coyotes of eastern n.nn ) nrnnerlv a subject for alarm. The coyotes may easily com municate rabies to dogs or other do mestic animals and such animals may in turn attack people and thus en danger their lives. It is true that thus far no cases of hydrophobia have occurred in eastern Oregon. Let it be hoped there will be no cases. The danger may not be as great as appears, but certainly there is sufficient danger that people should be thoroughly on guard. "Well," responded Bill, Td nothing to grumble at.'" "H'm!" went on tho other, "I'm ruther surprised. If you remember, I'd u very poor opinion about that garden. In fact I told you before you had It that you would never pet your own back." "Hut I didV said Bill. "I made more out of that bit o' garden than the landlord ever did." "You don't say so?" "Oh, yes," went on Bill, calmly. "I got the rent out of it, an' that's what the landlord never got." London Opinion. PENDLETON'S GREATEST After four months of war the rec ord shows that 90 per cent of the Oerman commerce has This is a time when prudence and wis council should prevail regard ing our military 7 he Question of policy and it is a National Defense, poor time for ex tremists of any sort to be harassing congress for rad ical action. This because the war game is undergoing rapid changes and a course we might adopt today might prove wrong tomorrow. There is no certainty but that the present war will show the great bat tleship to be obsolete as a fighting craft. Already several English bat Ueships. one of them of the finest dreadnaught class, have been de stroyed by submarines. Now if the submarine can be used with such sue cess battleships must either be con structed to withstand their attack or they will become mere costly d;ath traps. Not only that but the warship ot the future must be prepared to de fend Itself against an enemy from the air. By the time the European war Is finished the dreadnaughts of the present may be as badly outdistanced as were the old wooden frigates of civil war days after the Monitor and Werrimac came into play. Under such conditions how foolish we would be to launch upon the building of a large number of costly battleships. Furthermore it takes several years to build and equip a modern dread nought and if we will need them at all we will need them sooner. Another feature of the situation is the fact this country is not as help less as some imagine from a stand Joint of defense. Our rabid military alarmists and the Jingo press assert we are In a class with China. The statement is false. The United States maintains the second largest navy in the world. Through use of the Pa r.ama canal that navy may be quickly transferred from one ocean to the Other and It would be able to give a good account of Itself should this na tion be attacked. Tet this does not mean the country hould forego all effort1) to improve Its fighting efficiency. Money could well be spent developing our subma rine strength and in aviation. The question of ammunition supply may seed attention. President Wilson in his mesage today speaks of the train ing of our citizen soldiery through the national guard. It is a fact our best reliance from a land standpoint la upon having a large number of men who have had some military ex perience and can consequently adapt themselves with ease to military life when necessary. But to get such an army in the field would require The World's Commerce been driven from the seas. The record shows that 1221 German ships have been captured, destroyed, de talned by neutrals or bottled up in home ports. During that same time 195 English ships have been similar ly affected. German commerce is off the sea Great Eritaln still retains me mas tery of the ocean. But England is noi exporting as formerly. Fast English liners have been taken for war pur poses. Raw materials essential to life are not being sold but are being hoarded for war purposes, as is shown by the wool embargo. These facts throw light on why American imports have fallen off and why the war tax became necessary. A Chicago Woman's Club maintains a free employment bureau for women and at the present Maladjustment, time there are hun dreds of office girls seeking employment through that bu reau. . At the same time hundreds of Chicago housewives are beseeching the bureau to supply them with girls to do housework. What Is true in Chicago Is true in proportion all over the country. It shows a poor adjust ment but of course this trouble is due to social rather than economic causes That Portlander who Is so anxious to get into . prison Is certainly en titled to accommodations at Salem. The Atlantic is having another tre mendous gale; but our northwest weather Is mild and pleasant. ' Congress will have a short session unless the filibustered become a nul- ance once more. Now take care of the "Belgians" at home. Shop early and avoid the stampede. PRETTY t;ooi (Jl ESS. The story Is told of a well known lawyer who has the distinction of being the leanest man In the town, that he was one day walking along a street in Manchester when he no ticed that a hound was following him. After he had gone some distance and the dog was still following him, he turned to a street gamin and asked: "Boy, what do you suppose that dog is following me for?" "Well, sister." said the boy, as he looked the lawyer over from head to foot "I dunno exactly, but my idee is that he takes you for a bone." THE TEST. In an asylum two worthies named Sandie and Tarn formed a plan to make their escape. Sandie said to Tarn: "Bend doon and I'll get on yer back and get on the tap o' the wall and haul ye up." Sandie got on top of the wall and slid down on the other side, saying: "Tarn, I think ye'll better bide an- Ither fortnlcht for you're no near sane yet." A COLD RECEPTION. A tramp called at the house of a gentleman and obtained a hearing. "I've walked many miles to see you. sir. because people told me that you were very kind to poor chaps like me." "Oh. they said that, did they?" "Yes, sir; and that's why I came." "And are you going back the same wav?" "Yes, sir." "Then, in that case, will you be good enough to contradict the rumor?'" 5 OR MAYBE TWO OF THEM. A girl, reading in a paper that fish was excellent brain food, wrote to the editor: 'Dear Sir: Seeing as you say how fish Is good for the brains, what kind of fish shall I eat?" To this the editor replied:. "Dear Miss: Judging from the composition of your letter, I should advise you to eat a whale." 8 GOOD PROXIES. Mr Grimbattley One would think that Tulklngton had had enough of his wife's tongue, but he had her make a lot of phonograph records and he runs them over every day while she's away. Mr. Nix: But think of the pleas ure he gets In talking back when they run down. STAGE AMENITIES. Star: Still, I think all the show needs Is a little pruning. Understudy: No! It's full of prunes now. Puck. THE LAZIEST. ALL RIGHT. A farmer had 20 employes on his farm, and as none of them was as energetic as the farmer thought he hould be. he hit upon a plan which e believed would cure them of their lazy habits. Men," he Bald, one morning, "I have a nice, easy Job for the laziest man on the farm. Will the laziest man step forward?" Instantly 19 of the men stepped forward. "Why didn't you step to the front with the rest?" inquired the farmer of the remaining one. "Too much trouble." came the re-Ply. : 5 s Beware the "nut" coyote THIS MA Y ENTERTAIN TURNING THE TABLES. "Please, ma'am, your dog has killed three of father's prize fowls, said the small boy. "Oh, I'm quite sure my Fldo would never do such a thing,'" said the old lady. "But father saw one of the chick ens in his mouth," said the boy. "Purely circumstantial evidence,' she snapped and the doy departed. Some time later he returned. "Please, mum, father sent me to tell you that circumstantial evidence might point to his having shot your dog, but he reckons you'll find he died of lead poisoning."

Not long ago a couple of working men, who had years before been neighbors In a Southern town, rather unexpectedly met In the North coun try. Of course, they had a chat about old times in the South, and one of them remarked: "About that garden, Bill. When I left that part of the country, you'd Just taken It over. Did it pay?" SUITED HIS TRADE. Mrs. Timkins was taking her son to school for m the first time, and after impressing the schoolmaster with the necessity of his having a thorough education, finished up by saying: "And be sure he learns Latin." "But my dear madam." said the schoolmaster, "Latin is a dead lan guage " "All right." said Mrs. Timkins ne u want it. lie a going to he an undertaker." 8 S s Mm I7EW people realize what a great stock of Xmas gifts we carry.

MOVAI1LK SCHOOL lilvGINS ITS YEAR'S WORK OREGON. AGRICULTURAL. COL- LEGE. Corvallla, Ore., Dec. 8. The Agricultural College movable school baa opened Its doors for local Instruc tion during the year throughout many parts of Oregon, the first session be lng held at Molalla and Estacada the second week In December. Possibly It Is more nearly correct to say that the school has started Us wheels, s'nee the doors are managed quite largely by local committees of dis tricts In which the sessions are con ducted. At any rate this most Val uable plan of carrying the college to the people Is In active operation, fur nbihlng special Instruction In the prin cipal lines of farm and home Industry. The faculty of this school consists of six members of the extension force under whose auspices the schools are conducted. W. 8. Brown will have charge of horticulture; E. B. Fltts. dairy husbandry; J. E. Larson, ag ronomy; R. E. Reynolds, animal hus bandry; C. C. Lftmb, poultry husband ry, and Mrs Dorman or Miss Davis of home-making. With the excep tion of the members of the home making course, all faculty members will remain three days In each of the two places carrying the work, and then exchange places. By this ar rangement special subjects will be taught principally on specified days, so that farmers and other students attending need attend only on the days In which their cpeclultlks are taught. The dally program consists of lec tures, demonstrations, and aa far aa practicable, laboratory work. Special lectures by heads of college depart ments will be given In the evening combined with entertainment features No admission Is chnrged and the ses sions are open to all who are In a po sition to take advantage of the work The Itinerary of the school has not been definitely announced beyond the end of the present year. Sessions will be held at Monmouth and Forest Grove December 15 to 19, and at Lebanon and Albany the first four days of Christmas week. Serbs Claim Successes. " XISH, via London, Dec. 8.
