Thatis to safeguard our peace hut adequate armament- and - to stamp out the destruction organ ization that are trying to break up our government nnd perpetrate their influence into the minds and Uvea of our youth. We, the moth ers, -wives and daughters 'of the survivors of the last war are the ones who least want war again nnd yet we realize that laws, hu man nature force us to he among the strong or be trodden on by the strong.

Hogan from Its membership, on account of Illness in her family. . The present year's study of Ja pan Is proving most fascinating and instructive. Mrs. J. II. Cochran gave a very comprehensive paper on the pop ulation, national characteristics, immigrants and classes. The growth in population in Japan within the last fifty years, has he come their greatest problem, and the government has been trying to solve it in many ways. There are now more than 63 millions of people on the main Island which is not quite as large as the state of Montana. Japan now ranks sixth in pop ulation, and third in density. As only about one slxtoeiith of tho country Is tillable, tho average farm consists of one acre. By tho rigid land laws of Aus tralia and tho United States Japan has given up her Idea of coloniza tion in these countries, and Is now trying to get her people to go to the smaller Island possessions -of Japan, but on account of the cold winters in the northern islands and the extreme heat in the southern Inlands they do not take readily to this plan. Japan has very strict laws governing the coming into her country of the laboring classes of Korea nnd China hut welcome the wealthier classes -of . all na tions. .' Mrs. W. C. Janes chose for her book review, "Precious Bane," by Mary Webb, an English author, who became a' noted writer of both prose nnd poetry, through the writ ing of those quaint books, so full of pnthos and humor. "precious Bane," . is a story of the typical Kngllsh country folk, during the French and English war. "Precious Bane's" characters become very real to you. and you seem to share with them their joys and sorrows as few authors have the gift of portraying to their readers. ' And Mrs. Janes in her usual manner was able to bring these facts to her hearers. The club is always pleased to hear Mrs. Janes' Intensely Interesting reviews. .Mrs. B. O.

For several years they, .lived in the cabin he had built near where the present house now stands. Indians, traders, miners and early settlers came and went but it was not until the fall of 1855 that danger really seemed to threaten this peaceful home on tho Kogue river. Word came that the Indians in tended to kill all of the settlers and it was then that Fort lllrdseye was built of upright logs fourteen feet high und during that winter tho Blrdseyes, savages' and others lived, within Its stockade, secure and safe from all invaders. Tho next summer the present log house was built us it stands today, strong and enduring of heavy timbers with -mortice nnd tenon Joints and all crevices filled with chinking. Grandchildren 1 of David Nelson Blrdsejte , still live there with their mother, Mrs. Ef- fie Birdseye. and it is largely duel to their efforts that Crater like l Chapter D. A.

Conditions under the old liquor traffic are not easily described. There were ill opera -linn mi in- t tin n 200,000 saloons and probably half ns many more blind pigs under various misleading names. The annual consumption of Intoxicating liquors In the t'nfl : ed States readied more than 60,- (ino.tioli gallons of wine, loo. 000.- : tlon In varying forms was tried' out fur a third of a century.
