Survey of the World's News IEUTENANT GENERAL NEL- SON A. MILES, U. B. A., re- tired, who is now at his farm In Westminster, Mass., prophe- sies a long era of peace for the United States. \Although he says, \I can see noth- ing on the horizon that looks in the least like a War Cloud, SO far 88 this country is concerned, it is our duty to be prepared for war. Generally speak- ing, the greeter our degree of prepara- tion the greater our security from mo- lestation. I do not for one moment, however, believe that the proposed re- organization of the militia signifies that the war department fears trouble with any foreign power. \While as an officer of the army, I cannot publicly discuss such matters as the war department's proposed plan to organize the militia of the country Into tactical divisions, I am free to say that any plan which seeks to make the militia a more efficient body, acting In closer harmony with the regular army. Is a step in the right direction. \From a military standpoint, the Panama canal will he a source of 'strength and of weakness to this coun- try. We must retain possession at any cost. It will afford us a great advan- tage in shifting our divided fleet from one ocean to the other in case of threat- ened attack on either side, but we must still maintain a divided fleet and in my opinion a bigger fleet, notwithstand- ing its greater mobility.\ Asked if he favored compulsory mili- tary service, which many believe Ma- jor General Leonard Wood hinted at recently, General Miles emphatically declared that he did not. The general, in response to another question, said that in his opinion the strength of the standing army should be one soldier to every 1,000 of popula- tion, and he urged that the nations of the world come to an agreement upon this standard. • K FRENCH LINE SUBSIDY A new postal subsidy agreement be- tween the French government and the French Transatlantic line from Havre to New York has been agreed upon. It covers the next twenty-five years, and its conditions provide for the con- struction of four new steamships, des- tined to enter the service in 1916, 1911, 1926 and 1931 respectively. They are to have a speed of twenty knots an hour in summer and eighteen knots an hour in winter. The subvention to the company is fixed at $1,200,000 for each of the first tour years, after which It will be sub - sect to revision. As long as the French Transatlantic eompany maintains a line between Havre and Canada the French govern- tnent agrees not to subsidize any com- peting line. • K BABY RULES PRESIDENT ELECT \The White House baby\ has al- ready been appended to the name of Miss Josephine Cothran, the sixteen - months -old grandniece of President Elect Wilson. Her mother, Mrs. Perin Cothran, who IS the daughter of a sis- ter of the president elect. has been In- vited to make her home In the White House during the stay of her uncle in Washington. She will be a companion of the Wilson girls. The hnby is a great favorite of the next president, and, though the party • by Pach Bros., Now York.

Most of the girls carry on flirta- tions because it affords them harmless amusement. Of course there are ex- ceptional cases where harm has been done.\ A SPECTACULAR CAREER Henry Fountain Ashurst, Democrat- ic United States senntpr from Arizona, has had a spectacular and remarkable career. The Corigressional Directory is the authority for the statement that the senator once was employed as a hodearrier, then became a lumberjack, Henry F. Ashurst. One of the Senators From the State of Arizona. cowpuncher, clerk and newspaper re- porter. Then he took up the law, and he went to Washington as a man of wealth as well as importance in the politics of his country. The senator is a man of most polished manner and has been called a \senate Chesterfield.\ ▪ K A \CONCILIATION COURT\ Judges of the municipal court of Cleveland, 0., considering ways and means of lowering the costs of court procedure, are responsible for the crea- tion of a \conciliation court,\ which started its work Jan. 1. All claims of less than $50, garnish- ments, attachments. replevins and sim- ilar suits will be heard in the \concilia- tion court\ without the institution of formal proceedings. Costs will be greatly decreased. Service of subpoenas by reentered mail was discussed as a method to low- er coat of legal proceedings. K K THE 1913 WOMAN The spring maid of 1913 Ls lo be straight front, straight back, hipleas and curveless. If fashionably attired she will look like a straight line, with an oblique line at the top, said oblique line being her hat. Skirts are to be perfectly straight, looking like an envelope. Jackets are to be the same. Narrow skirts will prevail; hence they will be slashed so that the wearer may move with the same degree of safety. The slash may be in the back, front or side. The slash will extend to a point just below the knee and will be skillfully con- cealed by plaits. - For plump, rotund women, who can- not wear the positively straight lines, the fashion makers have taken a les- son from the unspeakable Turk. For plump women there will be skirts of the voluminous, sheetlike robe of the desert roamer, drawn tightly about the ankles and full at the top. Orien- tal colors also will be drawn upon heavily in the new styles. Returning to the slender woman, jackets will be cut on the same straight lines as the skirts. The cut- away pattern will prevail, and this calls for some decoration to fill In the front. For this purpose there will be a waistcoat, exactly like a man's vest, to finish the open coat. The spring coat will be striking, of stripes and checks, the one finding the most favor among designers tieing the \rah -rah,\ forty-six inches long, made of cream goods with a tan stripe.

IMPORTANT TO PAY . EVERY BILL WHEN IT IS DUE. This Is the Most Successful and Only Safe Way to Transact allainess. \No man can do business of any magnitude.\ said a retail man recent- ly. \or would care to. for that matter, without credit, but the very ease with which credit may be obtained may be a pitfall and one into which a good many retail merchants have fallen and, unless human nature changes, are like- ly to fall in the future. \But there is one safe course to fol- low. which at least will prevent com- pile/Mons arising as a result of care- lessness, aud that Is to adopt a rule to pay every bill and interest account when it is due. Many a bill has been let run over when to pay it would be just RS easy as to omit doing so, and loose ends of debt accumulate In a way that is surprising when a full summing Up IR made of them. \Them too, it is true that If the debts are left at loose ends some tone may take it into his head to gather the loose ends together and so tie up the man who should have looked after them. This may be a bad metaphor, but it Is certainly good logic. \So as I said In the beginning,\ says a writer in the Boot and Shoe Re- corder, \the beat thing to do Is to pay all bills when due, even If to do so you shall have to borrow the necessary money with which to take care of them, since doing so at least has the merit of concentrating the indebted- nees and placing it where provision can be made for its handling easily when opportunity offers to take it up.\ A Delicate Touch. \I often met the late Jules Massenet in Monte Carlo,\ said a Newport wo- man. \The great composer had a keen sense of humor. \At the Hotel de Paris. in Monte Carlo. an Englishwoman once gave M. Massenet a tea in her sitting room overlooking the blue Mediterranean. She brought out her daughter in the middle of the tea and sat her down at the piano, and the girl sang. In a voice as slender as a cotton thread, the mir- ror music from 'Thais.' At the end of the song the hostess said: \'Tell me frankly. cher maitre, what do you think of my Emily's voice?' \'Madame said Massenet, 'I think the young lady has a brilliant future n—sculpture or painting.'\ A Small Crop. The famous Latakia tobacco crop only averages 350 tons a year. Pertaining to the Farm THE -BOARDER COW\ IS A MILLSTONE AROUND NECK. Don't Waste Your Time and Energy and Money Feeding an Ani- mal Not Worth Its Upkeep. A millstone around his neck is what the \boarder cow,\ the \robber cow.\ the unprofltable scrub cow, is to the farmer. Go where I will for my fig- ures, I find the average production so low that those cows that go below the average must be losers to the keepers, sap+ L. W. Lighty in the National stockman and Farmer. Just lately I got figures from several creameries and then ascertained the number of cows that contributed to the center of manufacture and was not sur- prised to learn that the average pro- ductioA per cow was from 156 to 184 peanuts of butter. I was not surprised hevause I have been meeting the same results in almost every investigation I made where a considerable number of cows were concerned. The man with the average cow was nut holding his own, and how did the man with those below the average fare? The price of butter will never be high enough to make a 125 pound cow profit- able. The only way that cow can be of any use to the world is to furnish prime extra choice beef for the hotel and restaurant table. The farmer who keeps and feeds her Is getting poorer every day, and so is his farm. The poor fellow slaves year in and year out, working hard and long, never thinking a thought, but faithfully feed- ing a herd of \boarder cows!\ And some of you fellows who want to be pretty wise nre doing it. In fact, 1 care not how wise you are. If you have not kept an account with your cows with scale and pencil you are feeding some \robber cows.\ Why men should persist in such work may seem a mystery to some, but it is quite natural. The man is in a rut, and it is easier to run along In the rut than to tern out on unused and unworn ground. It takes nerve to be laughed at and be given the guffaw, miff that is what always happens to the Man who turns out of the rut in word, thought and action. But had no one tried new ground and defied the \stand - patter\ we would still be dwelling in cares and cooking meat by dropping hot stones in a pot WhereDiplomacyFailed By EDMOJVD AY heaven keep me from get- ting mixed in other people's affairs, especially love affairs. Ever since I brought Len Richmond down on a visit anti intro- duced him to my cousin, Myra 'Metier, I have regretted having done 80. Len Is an excellent fellow, rattier inclined to look upon every incident or episode seriously and in a matter of fact light. I would as soon think of cracking a joke to an owl. Myra is a good girl, but nature did not endow her with av- erage beauty. Indeed, she is homely. I lost my parents early and was brought up by my aunt, Elite Ducher, being beholden to her and her family for everything I had till I came of age. Therefore when I brought Richmond home and 8AW what were at least to me unmistakable signs that Myra had fallen in love with him and that he was not likely to return her devotion I felt as if I had committed a crime. True, there was nothing against her but her homeliness, for she was a fine character and had a winning way with her. Len, too, was not handsome. He was a lean, red headed, freckled chap, with a long neck and sloping shoul- ders. But nobody looks for beauty in a man. Ile was conscientious as a mule. One dny he came to me with a long face and said he wished to consult me about a very important matter. We were sit- ting on the porch. the doors and win - (low - s all open, and lie spoke In a low tone. Ile told me that he had reason to suspect, what I considered a fore- gone conclusion. that he had uninten- tionally won Myrit's heart and that he could not possibly return that love for the sole reason of her homeliness. What was I to do? The only course for ale n - as to convince him that his reason was no reason at all.

Len intimated to we that my cousin's homeliness should not stand in his way if he felt inclined to make her Ills wife. Ile (lid not speak to her, however, at the time, and I fancied he was waiting for the spirit to move him. Ile came down again in a month and made his proposal. Ile came to me immediately after having done so and surprised me by telling me that he had been refused. \And what do you suppose,\ he add- ed, \is her reason?\ \I can't conceive,\ I replied. \She says that I have every require- ment to please her fancy save one. I begged her to tell me what that one deficiency is. and she at last said that she had always fancied homely men. I wouldn't do.\ \You don't mean It!\ I exclaimed, aghast. \Yes and she added: 'Now, there's Ins cousin. For looks he'd suit me ex- actly.'\ The hot blood rushed into my cheeks, then suddenly rushed out again. Then I wanted to laugh. It didn't take me long to discover a reason for this &Ju- gular apparent coincidence. While Len and I had been talking on the porch the minx had been listening at an up- per window. Richmond stool looking at me rue- fully, giving no evidence whatever that he had even the faintest glimpse of the truth. \Len I said. \If I were you I'd go home and think no more about it.

PRODUCES ONLY NINETY 'POUNDS OF BUTTER A YEAR. . This animal has been photographed by the University of Wisconsin as a \horrible example\ of the cow that eats her head off and gives in return so little milk that it's a pity almost to waste time extracting It from her. The dairy experts lay much stress on the fact that these scrub cows eat as much as animals of much higher quality, and this, in view of the present high prices of feed, Is well worth consideration. <!) a> HORSE AND STABLE HINTS. The following powder given each day is said to be good for skin disorder in horses: Finely powdered Iodine of potash, four ounces; granulated sugar and common salt, of each one pound. Mix well together and divide into thirty-two powders. Feed no corn, but let the grain feed be oats and wheat bran. Use tincture of iodine on the lunms every second day until the skin becomes a little tender. Dr. Sweet' says that many a crooked limbed colt can be help- ed by using a mixture of alcohol two parts and olive oil one part on the knees\ and tendons twice a day and with thorough hand rubbing. Each time straighten the leg and bring It into plaice several times. This will streteh the tendons and loosen up the joints and ligaments. Don't be afraid to rub the leg into proper form.—Farm Progress. 000000000000000C - 0000 • 00000 DOES IT PAY TO FATTEN? If You Have Enough Cows Finish Calves Yourself and Save Money. W. F. Ward of the bureau of animal Industry, department of agriculture. and D. T. Gray of the Alabama sta- tion have been co-operating In an ex- periment In feeding yearling calves, the work having a direct bearing on the question of raising and finishing animals on the same farm. They are authority for the statement that the farmer who has as many 113 thirty breeding cows on his farm should make It a rule to fatten their offspring himself. lie can seldom af- ford to sell the calves to the profes- sional feeder. The feeder usually makes money on the process of fatten- ing, and the man who raises calves Ill sufficient numbers should keep this extra profit at home. There are many ways of disposing of beef calves or cattle, and the farm- er should be watchful to avoid meth- ods by which money might be lost. Ills possible to raise beef cattle prop- erly and by selling them Improperly to lose money on the business In just the same way that it Is possible to raise good apples, potatoes and peaelies rind lose inoney on them when the 'market- ing part of the business is not studied and given proper attention. When beef cattle are bred, fed and marketed In a scientific and businesslike number satisfactory profits should be realized. AGE OF BREEDING HEIFERS. Dairy Cow Should Begin Giving Milk as Early as Possible. The age at which to breed the heifers Is a constantly recurring question. Opinion differs considerably on this point, and unfortunately experience as related by breeders is not uniform by any means, mm - mites E. E. Kaufman in s the Town and Country Journal. S. The writer has filWitys tried to make s his ophilons conform to experienoe and ob.:en - Mimi, halt in the case of breeding heifers his views have always been backed up by both experience and <,.; s observe lion. When the heifer Is bred to drop the 4; first calf at the age of two years—and t in nearly all instances this can be done —the habit of giving milk is early stim- ulated Besides, the young cow is more tractable and is thus more readily brought under the environment of her new . condition. With the first calf dropped at the age of Ova years it is better to delay the breeding of the sec- ond calf for six or eight months, but keep milking her for a year at least In order to develop the trait of long and persistent milking. After the second calf she can be bred regularly every year. If properly fed and handled there is really no danger of stunting the growth or undermining the constitution by early breeding. The dairy cow should begin giving milk as early in life as possible and tlie habit of persistent niiiking be thoroushly instil :et! in the animal. A heifer bred ni calve at two and one-half or three years of age will be more diflicult to linaulle and conse- quently nOi give down her milk so readily. thus bringing :Ilona tendeney to shorten the mill:his, period when all efforts should be in the line of n long period of lactation. Breed the heifers yowler, fourteen to fifteen Inonths, ex- cept possibly in special cases, and bet- ter results will be obtained in produe- ing large and persistent milkers. Busy Hens Mean More Eggs. Have some millet seed so that you can throw it among the litter. The seeds are so small that it will take the hens considerable time to find them all. But they will keep at it, hunting them till all are found, arid this is what is needed to keep them busy and to keep them warns—Kansas Farmer. Egg Fertility, liens that lay frequently from the first 441 the winter will not give as fertile eggs for hatching as those which have been more moderate in laying. It does not pay to force the breeders too much The Sunday School Lesson Text of the lesson, Gen. iii. Memory verses. 17-19. Golden Text, John viii, 34. In this lesson we have the first men- tion of the devil, of unbelief, of sin, of suffering, and also of a deliverer, a re- demption and a great restoration. An understanding of this chapter helps greatly to understanding the whole Bible. The devil is described in Rev. x11, 9; xx, 2, as the great dragon. that old ser- pent, called the devil and Satan, who deeelveth the whole world. He is also called the god of this world, the prince of the pOWPr or the air, the spirit that now workelli in the children of disobe- dience ill Cor r iv, 4; Erik it, 21.

The Old Testament as we have it ends with the word \curse.' but in the last chapter of the Ness' Festament we read, \There shall be no more curse\ (Rev. xxli, 3), and the reason why is given in Gal. lit, 13 - Christ made a curse for us.
