A Missouri editor, who finds that he
must leave for lack of support, the
place and people he has tried to benefit
thus saith: Don't worry about the ed
itor. He has charter from the State
to act as door mat for the community.
He'll get the paper out somehow, and
stand up for you when you run for Of

daughters tackey wedding, and blow
about your bg-footed sons when they
get four-dollar-a- week job, and weep
over your shriveled soul when it is re-
leased from your grasping body and
smile at your giddy wife's second mar
riage. He'll get along. The Lord only
knows how-but the editor will get there

A writer in L'Eonomiste Europeen
has been compiling statistics showing
the increase during the last decade in
the annual budgets of the nations of
Europe In 1891 the sum total of all
the budgets amounted to $3,967 400, 900.
By 1896 this figure had advanced to $4,-
100000, and in 1901 had assumed the
enormous proportions of $5,S18,O0O, 900.
For this increase military expenses are
in no small degree responsible. The
price Of military efficiency has advanc-
ed from 1927, $780, 900 in 1891 to $1,575, O0O,-
900 in 1901. In 1891 France and Russia
combined voted 1921, 100000 for this pur-
pose, and the nations, included in the
Triple Alliance 1921, 100000. In 1901 the
former had increased this sum to $780,
100000 and the budget for the Triple
Alliance had risen to 1891, 100000 No
wonder Europe desires peace at all
costs!

Concerning some variations in the
spelling Of a great name Mr.. Compton
Reade propounds theory which should
prove Of comfort to all branches of the
family. He holly combats the notion
that the smyths, smythes and Smiths
have assumed a variation of spelling
to lend an aristocratic flavor to a
homely name. Nothing" he declares,
"can be further from the truth. The
original form was Snyth, just as the
modern cider is a corruption of the
ancient 'cyder.' SO far from the Smyths
having Smythed themselves, can dis
cover barely one notable instance of the
change from l. to " but / can trace

General Miles says that the most
reckless display of individual bravery
he ever saw was during the civil war,
when a regiment was marching into
battle, led by it's young colonel. Shells
began to fall and four or five men
would drop at time. They were COM
paratively raw troops, and as the fire
became more and more deadly they
showed just a symptom of hesitation.
Suddenly their youthful leader rode out
in front, waved his sword in the air and
yelled: Move up. move up. Do you
want to live 4orever?"

Carl Baily Hurst, United States
consul-general at Vienna, informs the
Bureau of Foreign Commerce that one
of the vessels of the Hungarian
navy has been commissioned for a
years cruise to various commercial
ports. The novel feature of the cruise
is that an expert officer of the consul
lar service has been appointed to duty
with the ship, his mission being to stu
dy trade conditions in the countries
visited and to report to his government.
The object is, of course, to improve
Hungarian commercial rela-
tions.
