Waiting Their Discharge.

Now that the formal order for the
mastering out of the two Rhode Island
batteries has been Issued by the war
department. the batterymen at Quon-
set Point are anxiously awaiting the
arrival OF the official order at Camp
Dyer. There Is a division OF sentiment
among the men, many OF them being
pleased at the news, while there are
others who would like to remain in the
service. but not for garrison duty at
home.
Capts. Barker and wolcott Will, no
doubt. receive the official order OF dis
bandment in q short time. and then
they will have to wait until a United
States regular army officer Ii sent to
the camp to muster out the men. This
will probably not take a long time. as
1t is generally believed that the depart-
ment will issue orders TO Lieut.. Rowan,
Of the United States artillery at Fort
Adams. the same officer that mustered
the Rhode Island batteries into the SER
vice, to perform the duty.
There Ia no doubt that during the
next day or two there will be some lack

This was in 1894. In 1895 it was tried
again and a verdict was found but it has
been set aside, and the case now comes
on for trial here. The change of venue
was taken because of the large amount
of interest that has been taken in the
case in Stark county, and the prospec-
tive difficulty that there would have
been in securing a jury there.
The lawyers in the case up to date are
as follows: for the plaintiffs, A. B. Mel

The biennial report of State Superin-

which is quarterly apportioned to the
different school districts of the state.
The state land department at the close
of the year will be in the best condition
since statehood, 20 far as clean records
and good collections are concerned. An
energetic effort has been made to collect
all delinquent claims for leases and sales,
and it has met with gratifying results.
The Office Of secretary of state has been
a busy one during the official term to
close at the end of the year and the re-
ceipts have been larger than for many
years. New corporations have been Or
ganized and their fees have helped TO
swell the receipts of the office. In the
old territorial days the fees of the office
went to the secretary, and that official
was assured of a remunerative income
aside from his salary, but the fees are
now covered into the general fund Of the
state.
The Institution reports contain much
mors of interest than the merely routine
relations of state officers. The conditions
of the principal institutions of the state,
the penitentiary and insane asylum, are
much the same as two years ago--a gen
orally crowded condition, because of en-
forced economy in appropriations which
has prevented the erection of additional
buildings.

Hospital Needed at Soldiers Home.

1921
The Lisbon Free Press says that
among the needs of state institutions,
none is greater than that of a small hos
pital building at the soldiers home. The
Free Press says: The number of sick
and helpless old soldiers at the Soldiers
home in this city is certainly a sufficient
inducement to the legislature soon to
meet to provide suitable hospital quar-
ters for these old veterans. The home
has been in absolute need of a hospital
for a long time and the future will de-
mand it even greater than at any time
in the past. The old soldiers health
will not improve with age. In most
cases their condition demands hospital
treatment and hospital quarters when
they enter the home. Under the pres
ent existing conditions it has been nee.
essary to partition of a section of one of
the dormitories in which to care for the
sick. Several deaths have occurred in
the home since it was opened and the
sick and dying are practically in full
view Of all their comrades. Col. and
Mrs. McIlvain have exerted every effort

Do Not Give Up in De-

For ages it has been thought

to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns and is
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and car not be cured by the surgeons

ing the payments of debt contracted by

a balance in the general fund at the close
of the year, if the collections from taxes

the officials. It is also expected that the

obligations contracted to pay tho debt

wiped out and the state ready to start

How q Supply of Fresh Quinine In.

"Perhaps I shouldn't &C into any retro
spections that might reflect upon the doc
tors chances of election" said Major
Drollier, "but there's one thing that has
always p%rejudiced me against him. It Is q
small matter, and perhaps my proof is not
conclusive enough to establish q case
against him before an ordinary jury, but
from the point Of view of any sporting
man 1t certainly would look bad for him.
We we're down in the Red river country
together in 1874, and time hung heavy on
Dur hands during the evenings. The doc
tor fed us lots of quinine to keep down the
swamp fevers and gave us wholesome ad-
vice about diet, particularly %cautioning US
against fresh milk from the n%eighborhood.
OF course we played poker, and, as I recol-
lect 1t, the doctor was an inveterate loser.
He didn't seem to know the commonest
rudilncnts Of the game, and was an i'm
patient player as we'll MS q sullen loser.
We played with shotgun wads for chips,
and there were less than 800 In the camp.
'Now comes the singular and sugges-
tive chain of circumstances, which makes

"Sext night when we wanted to start q
game he suggested that we should get 500
white beans from the cook and use. them.
I consented and ounted out the beans at
10 cents each. When we came to finish
up, I had to go down into my clothes
when l felt sure that l ought to be about

should keep them open. We should as
a people take advantage of the opportu-
mites that providence has placed at our
feet. Let us give to the islands of the
sea a liberal government and accept our
new duties and responsibilities. l be-
lieve the capacity of the American pco-
pie to govern foreign islands is as strong
as that of England or Germany.
New Mexico and California both had a
savage and alien population when we
took possession. In 1919 Florida was fur
ther from New York than Porto Rico is
from Chicago. Texas further from
Washington in 1916 than Hawaii is from
Boston in 1898; California more mac
cessible in 1S47 than the Philippines are
now.
How shall we govern them! Out of
local conditions and necessities of the
case, methods of government will grow.
l want to see free institutions extend
ed and the whole world hardening to the
American drum beat until the equality
of all men, under the law, shall be es-
tablished in the hearts of mankind.
Hold the islands? Certainly. They
are Gods gift to this nation. Not to do
so would be to present to the world the
humiliating spectacle of national weak
ness: cowardly retreat. To hold them
means commercial prosperity and activi-
ty along all industrial lines, such as this
nation has never seen. 1t means enlarg-
ed opportunity for idle capital and idle
labor. 1t means reciprocity and a states
man-like grasp of our national destiny.
The question of twenty million dollars,
more or less, is, in my judgment, a very
slight factor. Our country has proclaim
ed to the world that the rights of man
kind are the concern of all Gods people,
and the question of twenty or forty mil
lion dollars is an insignificant one in
consideration of a world problem which
directly affects all mankind.
