plus ammunition, R has good navy,
on paper, but this is inadequately
manned ami poorly equipped. In the
one reapect of coast fortifications has
there been any approach toward vlll
clency and thoroughness in preparing
for national defense.
Speed the day when an adequate
plan will have been formulated ami
adopted to safeguard peace among the
nations. Meanwhile it behooves us to
safeguard our own peace by forging
armor, sword and shield and perfecting
ourselves in their use. The more for
midable we are the More immune will
we be from attack.. The muscular, up
standing, fearless man need never lift
a hand In anger and will still command
the reepect of his fellows.
The Lkakkr is for militarism here
afterdefensive militarism. Never
again will it turn a heedless ear to such
effective pleas for adequate national
defense as are presented by William
Howard Tuft in the Saturday Evening
Post and Julian Street in Colliers
Weekly.
The American Samson needs hair

The Louisiana hen that hatches snap

ITS TOE TO WAKE UP.
When every man is a true socialist
we will attain true socialism and will
have reached the millenium, we pre
sume, oi social and industrial beatitude,
When every man is a true pacificist
we will have attained universal and
permanent peace, and may aay with
Richard Third without, however, his
regretful sneer:
"Grim-visaged War hath smoothed
his wrinkled front,
And capers nimbly in a lady's
chamber."
We are confronted with a condition,
however, and not a theory a condition
which indubitably indicates that the
most advanced civilization the world
has ever known has not eliminated the
inherent quality of selfishness from
men or nations.
So-called Christian nations are now
engaged in hacking and gouging one
another with unparallelled ferocity
unparalelled even in a pagan past.
The period of the world's greatest
progress is witnessing the world's
greatest war a war whose cause was
apparently as trivial as its effect is
stupendous and far-reaching. History
is being written in letters of blood,
while Faith, Hope and Charity are
blown from the cannon's mouth.
It will be only because of the immu
nity that Providence is supposed to be
stow upon fools and children if the
United States escapes the vortex.
Trembling upon the brink, we may at
any moment take the plunge. No
lamb could leap into a cage of lions
with less to defend itself. No flaccid
and self-indulgent glutton could make
greater parade of weakness in a melee
of brawling gladiators. We would be
alike useless to friend and harmless to
foe, except as to the "sinews of war"
our purses may lurnish. China the
sleeping giant among the nations fur
nishes the only counterpart to our su
pine impotence, and only to the extent
that we desire to imitate China has
our national policy of defencelessness
been justified. Compared to us the
little republic of Switzerland is a verit
able Achilles, albeit a peaceful one be
cause its prowess is respected.
The military weakness of the United

The county la willing to furnish dis
play Jars for this purpose. These Jt
will be distributed by the following
gentlemen and associations: The Mil

at Stanfleld; Joaeph
Hlnkle at Hermlaton; D. C. Borwnelt

The Formula.
For preserving fruits: Pluma,
grapes, cherries, currants and goose
berries; formalin, five part, saturated
solution of common table salt, ten
parts; water, boiled and cooled.
enough to make a hundred parts.
This may be made by measures as
follows: formalin, on pint; salt so
lution, two pints: wster, seventeen
pints. When made up the solution
will keep Indefinitely. Another solu
tion weaker In formalin ha been Used
satisfactorily, the proportions are
Formalin, three parts; salt solution.
ten parts; water enough to make on
hundred parts.
For raspberries: Formalin, one
part: glycerine, ten parts; water. 89
parts.
Strawberries may be preserved fair
ly well in a saturated solution of com.
mon salt. and. better still. In a fluid
composed of formalin, one ounce;
alum, on dram; glycerine, five
ounces; water, three pints.
Red currants keep best In a solu
tion of corrosive sublimate, one part:
glycerine, ten parts? water, 90 parts.
The corrosive sublimate must be dis
solved In hot water and the solution
and fruit preserved In It should be
labeled poison as it Is deadly If swal

Jars may be made perfectly tight by
smearing the ground surface with a
small amount of light colored vaseline.
This will also prevent, in a great
measure, the sticking of stopper when
It is desired to remove them.
