, • Survey of the World's News A8 a result of the dIscurden aroused by Andrew Curnegle's offer to pension ex -presidents , and their widows a movenlent Was Inaugurated to avoid the need of the pension for retired presidents by Making them permanent \representa- tives at large,\ with seats In the house. Representative Albert- S. Burleson of Texas, who has been mentioned for secretary of agriculture in the Wilson Cabinet, drafted a provisiOn which he tried to Induce the committee on ap- Oropriations to iumiert in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. , His proposed provision Is as follows: \Hereafter every ex-preaident of the United States shall during his life be held and regarded as a representative at large of the people of the United States and shall be entitled to the priv- ilege of the floor of the house of repre- sentativea with all the rights of Mem- hers of the house of representatives, save that of voting, and shall receive for his services an annual salary of ;17,500 provided that no obligation to serve on committees of the house shall be imposed upon such representative.\ \The suggestion that the United States should pay a permanent pension to its ex -presidents,\ said Mr. Burleson, \smacks too much of monarchical in- stitutions. An abdicated king is gen- erally pensioned, but a pensioned ex - president seems a contradiction In terms. And the plan of Senator Mc- Cnmber to pay them $10,000 a year as retired commanders in chief of the army and navy stresses too much their military functions. My plan stresses the civil aspects of the .presidential office.\ To give the proposed \representatives at large\ votes in the house would, of course. require a constitutional amend- ment but such an amendment. in Mr. Bueleson's opinion, will be unnecssary for his plan. The constitution provides that \the house of representatives shall be composed of members ehoseu every second year by the people of the sev- eral states,\ but that section has not been construed as preventing the seat- ing of territorial delegates and the resident commissioners from Porto Rico and the Philippines. It It THE INAUGURAL BALL A movement is on foot to bold the coming inaugural ball in the capitol instead of the pension building, RS here- tofore. James D. Preston, superintend , ent of the senate press gallery and a prominent participant in inaugural ceremonies, is trying to interest the women of the incoming administration in his change. \If the ball were held in the capitol,\ says Mr. Preston, \the crowd would scatter on inspection through many halls of historic interest and the ter- rible congestion of previous balls would be avoided. Speaker Clark, Chairman Underwood and other leaders would each have his levee ia his own office. The president would greet visitors In the president's room, circulating after- ward among the guests. A canvas stretched over the marble floor of the rotunda would make as good a danc- ing door as a canvas on the marble floor of the pension building. There would be no more impropriety in danc- ing in the capitol than in the pension building.\ WOMAN'S NEW DISTINCTION The honor of being the first woman elector in the United States has fallen to Mrs. Helen J.

Remembering Uncle Joe's record of nineteen terms at Washing- ton, broken only in 1890, when be was defeated for the Fifty-second congress. aspirants grew faint hearted. Finally Frank T. O'FIalr of Paris, Edgar coun- ty, was induced to enter the race. At first he was reluctant; but, once In the fight, he began a campaign that result- ed in the downfall of Mr. Cannon. Congressmen Elect O'Hair is a ne- ttle of Edgar county, where he was born forty-two years ago in a log cabin. He Is of Irish parentage, and his boyhood days were spent on a farm in a remote country district. It It THE CENTENARY OF PEACE A meeting of the sebcommittee of the American committee to arrange for the celebration in 1914-15 of the one hundredth anniversary of peace among English speaking people was held in New York city recently. The committee disposed of much business, among its first acts being to name Senator Elihu Root anti Judge Parker as a committee to wait upon President Elect . Wilson and discuss with him possible legislation having to do with the proper celebration of the centennial. It was also voted to rec- ommend that the celebration come to an end at the Panama exposition in San Francisco. and a special commit- tee was eppointed to take that matter up with the exposition officials. An announcement was made that the British committee was favorable to a suggestion to send a special com- mittee to visit New York early in the spring for the purpose of organizing an international committee and for the formulation and approval of R compre- hensive plan of international eelebra- tion. The committee voted to extend a formal Invitation to Earl Grey, chair- man of the British committee, and a committee of his associates to come to New York for the purpose named and set as a tentative date for the confer- ence the week of March 27 to April 3 next. Another matter acted upon favora- bly was a suggestion of Senator Root's that on the 17th of February, 1015, five minutes shall be set aside and that those five minutes shall be desig- nated by the parliament of Great Brit- ain and the congress of the United States as n period during which all activities of the, English speaking world shall come to a full stop Had \that for five minutes the English speaking world shall review the 100 years of peace and its attendant bless- ings with prayer end contemplatiou.\ It It TAFT NOT 1918 CANDIDATE President 'raft has quietly informed friends that, no matter how tietiee his participation in a reorganization of the Republican party may be, he Is not to be regarded or publicly referred to in political speeches by Republicans as a possible candidate of the party in 191e. The president has made it plain that he does not wish to be considered as In any way having an eye on the first pinee on the Republican ticket four years from now. He intends to do all in his power to help rejuvenate the party and probably will make many political speeches before March 4 and after he re-enters private life. But he is in the fight to ciantinue the party and to try to return it to power as a :nan who has been its at bearer for four years and not as a man seek - tug ii renomination four years hence. It Is said that President Taft may Ioe,mile the leader .ai the movement te strengthen party ties. But If so it will he with under- atanding that be does not midertake it eith any pre:venters(' plan that he is Ito Ike the candidate for president fonr 1 3ears hence. The Republiceu eommitteemen ha, e offered various suggestions. The ma- jority favor a geeeral publicity and educational campaign to strengthen public support of Republican princi- ples and to place the party in a posi- tion to take advantage of any mis- takes the Democratic administration may make. HOME TRADE SPIRIT MUST BACK UP TOWN BOOSTING. A Combination That Spells Growth and Prosperity For a Community. Concerted Effoit Counts. \Town beostIng\ is a phase of ad vertlsing that has been developed In comparatively recent years. It is true that many years ago there were a few enterprising cities that spread broad- cast alluring statements of their ad- vantages, but this advertising was done more In the interest of real es- tate dealers than for the general good of the community. These efforts, too, were sporadic and without system. To- day there are hundreds of cities att over the country that are conducting systematic. thoroughgoing advertising campaigns, and they are getting big returns from the money spent. Aside from getting new residents and Industries, the advertising of a town is a mighty good thing in another way. it develops a loyalty and enthu- siasm and a pride hi home institutions that are worth a good deal to the mer- chants of the city.

Calling these 'embeds \fertilizer lime\ and -lime fertilizer\ is also a niiiirepresen- tation. Lime is not a fertilizer, but an amender of soils that already contain phosphorus, potash and nitrogen.

A ,Jklihillirx Sacrifice By OLGA N. 730VRJ , IE GIRL not over seventeen years old entered a Russian village and inquired for conveyance to the nearest railway station. There was in her face none of that free from care look natural to girls of her age, but a aerious, resolute expres- sion as though she were Intent upon some great purpose. She had no bag- gage except a leather travelitig bag, which was noticeable, for she was not of the peasant class, who are often too poor to have any clothes except those on their backs, but one of an inter- mediate people between peasant and noble. It happened that there had been a wedding in the village, and the bride - s groom was to take his bride to his farm some versts away. The journey lay in the direction of the railway. and it was agreed that the stranger girl should be permitted to accompany the bridal party and be driven on be- yond the husband's farm to the station. Several friends of the young couple were going to see the bridal couple to their new home. Jest as they were about to start n man entered the sledge -without invitation. The bride- groom objected, whereupon the man showed the badge of a government of- ficial, which silenced any further re- fusal. It WaS in the springtime, but the snow lied not yet melted. The air was cold and penetrating, and the travel- ers were till vrapped in fur robes. But they were as gay !tarty. cracking their jokes and chaffing the newly mar- ried couple. linty tit 0 persons sat mute—the government official and the stranger girl -though their rigid de- meanor had no effect in dampening the spirits of the others. But present- ly, on craning to a wild traet that they were obliged to cross. they suddenly ceased tbelr merriment. From the forest Came n sound muffled by dis- tance. but none the less terrible—a sound known only too well to the oc- cupants of the sietlee as the dist:tie baying of wolves. The horses threw up their heads in fright, then set off at yt gallop. 'Flae bridegroom reached down under the seal and, not finding what he looked for, turned 'pale. -The arms!\ he exclaimed. **Where are they r H i p bulked a; men friends successilety.

There eas but oue %% capon in the party, and that belonged to the government official. It was a revolver with six shots in its chambers. Its possession could not be considered a chance. It was bunny even at }lope. Its owner drew it, cocked it and when the wolves came within range fired at the leader and rolled him over. A few of the pack pounced upon the dead wolf, while the rest came on. The official fired the six shots at intervals, with each shot killing a wolf. and when he had done this Ile had finish- ed his defense. The party were at the mercy of the wolves. Though the horses were tearing along at frantic speed, the wolves were drawing near- er every moment. When they had come to a distance of about fifty feet the strahger girl rose from her seats opened her satchel, took out a steel ball the size of RD orange and, poising it in her right hand, said: \I give my life to save yours. This man,\ referring to the government of- ficial, \will gee that I disappear from the world. The stroke I intended for a tyrant heaven wills shall go only to a pack of wolves.\ • She threw the ball deliberately. and It came down near the center of the pack. There was a flash, an explosion, and where the wolves had been NAB a vacant spot around which carcasses anal bits of carcasses were spread on the snow as if buttered with a bilge knife. A few lay moaning in agony, while few more Ilniped or dragged themselves e.way. \The party had been saved. All turned to the stranger girl, the bride and her girl companions throw- ing their arms about her, the men seiz- ing her hands and covering them with kisses. Then when they had given full expression to their gratitude they turned to the government official, who sat mute. \What is your Intention as to our preserver?\ asked the bridegroom. \She is my prisoner.\ \Inform on her at your peril!\ \If I don't inform on her I will be at a peril equal to any you can inflict. She was reported as being in corre- spondence with revoluteonists at the enpital. I was sent by the minister of the interior to shadow her. If I fail to report her I will be arrested, taken to Si.

How One Hog Raiser Provides For Supplying Animals With Rations, A labor saving device of high effi- ciency. but of comparatively Wiling cost 11/IS been designed by 1-1..1. Black- burn cif Henry, 111.. and installed on his farm to facilitate the feeding of his big type Poland -China hogs. He has built it device so that the smallest possible amount of work suffices for preparing the swill, which is carried direct front the mixing vat to the per- manent conerete trough through a large iron pipe. l'hIs trough can be filled before the hogs are Itirned upon the feeding floor, each animal thus re- ceiving only its reasonable share of the feed. Easier work and greater feeding ettieieney are thus provided by the same operation. Inside his commodious frame hog - house he has built at concrete vat of some two barrels' capacity, into which water is carried hy pipe from the ele- vated tank wide') supplies the farm anti household. %Viten desired this wa- ter calf first he rail Into a tank and heated and cortveed from there to the mixing vat. Ground feed is car- ried from an elevated bin to the mix- ing feed tranigh through at (-halite. After the swill is thoroughly mixetl in the concrete vat it is e•inveyed through a row. Inch pipe along the thaw of the building to a concreje trough built into the conerete feeding floor on the out- side of the shed. This trough in turn Is arranged with an millet at the low- er end so that it can easily he eleaned and flushed out eel! water from the supply teak. The trough is built with Ia fall sufficient to enable easy drain- age. • The mixing tank is made of eoncrete re -enforced in the usual manner with steel wires. The bottum. howet er, is not made level. but slopes sharply to- ward the corner in which the outlet pipe is inserted. The only difficulty in the plan has come through the chok- ing of the outlet pipe. When bran, for Instance, is mixed for feeding, unless the slop is made quite thin, the outlet Is likely to become blocked and cause a great deal of trouble. For this a wooden plug Is used to stop the outlet while the slop is being mixed.—Orange Judd Farmer, Here's How Money Is Wasted. More farm implements are worn out by sun and rain that, by use.

We saw in last week's lesson the first section of Scripture, the first name of Deity, God (or Hebrew \Elohim\), used just thirty-five times. Now we have a new name. Lord God (Jehovah Elohim), used In this lesson just eleven times, and when we get the true mean- ing of the nutnber eleven we shall be surprised at the reason why of this. Last week we saw God, the Creator (Elohine, working unhindered. All the significance we see in any name of Deity is but partial, for now we know only in part. We may always see in Elohim God as ereater. Jehovah is the greatest name In the Bible, used about 7,000 times, and in it we may see the Creator in special relation to mall: made originally in his image and to be restored by redemption by the great sacrifice of the Creator becoming our substitute, the one who was and is to be becoming our righteousness, our peace, our shepherd. our health. In verse 7 we read plainly that \the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nos- trils the breath of life, and man be- came n living soul.\ And to all the babes, the little children, who are nei- ther wise nor prudent in the estimation of the world's scholarship. who receive the word with meekness, this forever settles the question of how men was made. just as chapter I, I. is tin end of all controversy as to creation.
