The War Expenses.

Our eminently conservative and al
ways judicious contemporary, the
Baltimore Sun, makes strong state
ment of a condition, to which the
people have given little consideration,
in their patriotic zeal.
ssOur three months war, it is said
by competent judges, bids fair to
prove one Of the most expensive wars
ever waged by any nation, and this
largely owing to the absolute reckless
ness with which the peoples money
has been spent.
1t has not been case of saving at
the spigot and wasting at the bung-
hole. Both spigot and bunghole have
been kept wide open. The war De
partment seems to have been run like
the campaign headquarters of a politi-
cal party before nominations have
been finally settled and while every
candidate is urging his claims.
With the advent of peace it is to be
hoped that this disgraceful spectacle
will be stopped and that there will also
be stop put to the reckless expendi-
ture of the peoples money.
When the war cloud first doomed
large and black upon the horizon Con-
gress was thought to have done
very liberal and patriotic thing in
placing $50, 900, 600 at the Presidents
disposal in order to put the country
in state of preparation for war
When the war revenue bill was in
troduced provision for an additional
revenue of from 500, 900, 900 to $780,
900, 900 with contingent provision in
case of necessity for an issue of $780,,
900, 900 of bonds, was thought to be
ample for a war expenditure to cover
twelve months.
Now there are those who estimate
the cost of our three months diversion
at not far from a billion of dollars.
Nobody, in fact knows how much
the war has cost or is costing per
month, per week or per day. And
apparently, at Washington nobody
cares. 1t is spend-spend-spend.
The country's credit is inexhaust-
ible-why, then stop at a few thous-
ands or a few millions of dollars.
But by and by, there will a day Of
reckoning come. The bills will come
in and will have TO be paid. 1t may
be found that certain individuals, GER
tain classes of persons have proflted
largely by the war--have been made
rich, thanks to their personal relations
with parties in power at Washington
and the influence they have been able
to bring to bear.
But how about the millions who
have no "pull," no ''infuence," who
have made nothing out of the war,
who will only have their dead to
mourn and the bills to pay?
In the interest of the great, the
overwhelming majority Of the Amer
lean people, it is high time to call a
halt and to say that when the fight
ing and the shooting cease the spend
ing and the wasting should cease also.
Now that the war IS over the next

SHORT LUMBER.
Current Comment.

OATs.-The market has ruled easier dur
ing the week, although a hrmer tone 10
noted at the close.
CoRN.-There has been an easier tone to
the market during the week, but at the
close firmer feeling has been apparent.
FLoUR.-The demand for flour has ruled
little more quiet, and it does not take
much to meet the local necessities of the
trade.
BEANs.-There is no improvement to re.
port in the condition of the market. Re-
ceipts have been larger and there is full
supply Offering.
BUTTER.-Receipts have been consider
ably lighter than last week, but the wealth
or has been hot and there has been little
using storage goods and find them so salts
factory that they are unwilling to pay the
usual premiums for fresh.
LUMBER.-One very good feature to the
market is this: The cargoes coming in at
the present time are of very good quality,
very few provincial cargoes being included
in the receipts. The arrival of cargoes at
this port in the past season have at no time
been heavy. This demand comes of course
in timber mainly, but boards are also doing
quite well. Spruce boards have the CALL
but there is likewise some call for hemlock
boards.
WooL.---The chief topic among wool men
is naturally the two recent failures Of WOOL
en- manufacturers. but the apparently slight
bearing OF these assignments upon condi-
tons in woods or woolens robs the incidents
of any sinister Significance. The liabilities
of the Sawyer Wooden Company are said to
be about S1,0C0,o00, with assets about the
same. The history of these mills in wooden
manufacture reflects almost uninterrupted
prosperity. An examination of the books OF
the concern is said to reveal the fact that
only once during the past twenty years has
the company failed to show profit in its
yearly accounts. The Sawyer Wooden Com
pany was indebted to the wool trade only
to the extent of from $4,000 to $50, OC0,
while the Plymouth Wooden Company had
no outstanding bills for WOOL

Mother to Keep.

"You know we have mother to
keep" said Farmer A.'s wife one day
when called on to give weeks board
to two poor little city waits.
"We have to take care of mother in
her old age," said Farmer A., excus-
ing himself from some other charity.
"Ah, yes, it is always mother in the
way" said a bent-over little woman,
as she lifted her shrivelled hands out
OF the washtub and wiped the suds
from them. she needn't have said
that right before me, and if 1 don't
earn my keep don't know who does.
They'd have to give any other woman
SO a week to do all the work 1 do"
This she said to herself, and, all unbe-
known to Farmer A. and his wife, a
tear dropped on her withered cheek.
One day q neighbor found this old
woman lying unconscious on Farmer
A.'s kitchen floor. The farmer and
his wife were off on picnic to some
park, while they had left their old
mother at home to sweep and dust and
bake and churn. 1t was more than one
pair of old hands could do, and 80 the
poor woman tainted.

Care of the Bull.

The Breeders Gazette gives some
excellent advice about the treatment of
the bull. 1t we'll says that the only
really safe bull is dead bull. The
bull should never be trusted, whether
ringed or not, and the earlier he is
taught the power of this piece of nose
jewelry, the better for all concerned.
While young bull carefully brought
up may be handled conveniently by a
halter for time, in the end it will be
more convenient and far safer to ham
die him by the nose. The Gazette
truthfully says: "In the case of bulls
that are grown in pasture by their
dams, and are taken up at weaving
time to 'break,' the ring should be early
introduced unless the herdsmen enjoy
wrestling with lusty and playful young
bulls. Even in that case it is decided
ly bad policy to allow the bull to &C.
quire an idea of his real strength.
Teach him submission from the start
and then do not trust him. If desired
light rings may be used for bulls under
a year when it seems best to ring them
that early, and heavier nose pieces in
troduced when they grow older. 1t is
hard to make the mistake of ringing q
bull too early; as soon as he manifests
disposition to fight control by the
head, the nose should be ornamented."

child unless it is to be sacredly kept.
Never tell child he may have an ami
NAL or other property and then 60 and
sell it and pocket the money. Never
sell it anyway If possible, to avoid thus
doing, unless the child owner is fully
willing. 1t is good thing for chill
dren to own things, to earn money and
spend or save it, Advise them, and if
you see they are going to make big
mistake, stop them, unless you think it
best to let them learn by their mistakes
and failures. But respect your boys
property rights.
Do all in your power to make home
an attractive place for that boy of yours.
Do all you reasonably can to make him
feel that you can take an interest in all
that pertains to his well being. 1t is a
bad thing when a boy gets to feeling
that the best place for him, especially
in the evening, is away from home.
Don't treat that boy of yours like a
hired man, but treat him like your own
son. Remember that, while lots of
things are needed in this day to make
successful farmers and business men,
taking things as they are, brains are
the great need for worldly success,
which generally means getting money.
If your boy ia going to make a fair
amount of money, he will need to have
good head for business, but do not
bring him up as though the sole object
in life was to make money. He needs
to learn to be kind, considerate of the
rights and feelings of other people,
courteous, respectful, and if the father
is all of these, the son will be far more
apt to possess these traits of character.
"Like father, like son." is apt to be the
rule.
