"But even thi system, enormous as
it is, does not satisfy Great Britain.
A number of her cables land on for
eign soil. That will not do. In adj
dition to all this th-grabbing COM
mercisl spiders web, there must be
an imperial web which will reach
around the globe hung from Engl1sh
land alone. That system IS actually
in course of construction. An lmpor-
tsnt link OF it is to reach from BRITISH
Columbia to Australia. Still another
link will reach from Gibraltar to the
islands Of Bathurst, st. Helena and
Ascension-all English-to the Cape
of Good Hope. Thence another limo
will be run to the island Of St. Maurice,
which will be great imperial tele-
graphic distributing station with lines
reaching to India, China and Austra!-
asia. OF this system, one block IS
already completed-from the Cape OF
Good Hope to Bathurst Island: The
total cost OF the entire imperial sys-

the Government will bear all the s,'iir-
den.
cit is Ell expensive job,' say the
English. 1t will cost enough to
build five battleships. But when it is
done it will make each and every bat

"Certaiu laws control English
cables which make them absolutely at
the control of the Government. They
are all subsidized, as you know, and
in return for the subsidy John Bull
makes his own rules. Every employe,
for instance, must be British sub
iect and the lines can never be under
the control of any foreign Government.
In addition to that, English Govern
ment dispatches have precedence over
ali others at all times, even those OF
other Governments no matter how ur-
gent the latter may be. In case of
wal England can seize all the cable
lines and operate them entirely with
Government employees.
"In other words, John Bull has
built for himself an empire under the
sea where he rules with undisputed
sway. Whether Britannia rules over
the waves has yet to be determined;
that she rules under them is beyond
question. Other nations are getting
restless under the sway, and it IS time
we were making strike for relief
from it. Germany has already plan
under way for a cable system to this
country. As I have said, France is

Blue Jay Tree Planters.

An old.time Arizona woodchopper
says the blue jays have planted thou
sands of the trees now growing all
over Arizona. He says these birds
have g habit of buryiug small seed in
the ground with their beaks and that
they frequent pinyon trees and bury
large numbers of the small pine nuts
in the ground, many Of which sprout
and grow. He was walking through
the pines with an Eastern gentleman
a short time ago when one Of these
birds flew from tree to, the ground,
stuck his bill in the earth and
quickly flew away. When told what
had happened the Eastern man was
skeptical, but the two went to the
spot and with knife blade dug out
a sound pine nut from a depth Of
about al inch and a half. Thus it
will be seen that nature has plans Of
her own for forest perpetuation.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers aud
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous or organic action of the sys-
tenn, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
or other aches. You only need few

month, partly in German, and cir
culating it among the German

the money plank was left out. The
