Britain Has Many Giants.

Britain has thirteen vessels on the
ways any Of them bigger than the
German bsttleships. but known as
cruisers. Five British battleships OF
1880 tons are building in addition 10
the great Dreadnought
France is coming nearer TO the Brit
ISL standard OF bigness. She is con-
structing six baJtleships Of 1855 tons
each. and FIVE cruisers OF 12.550 10 14.o00
tons-that is. her cruisers average the
same displacement as Germany's battle
ships.
The lesson Of all this. which the
American naval experts are trying to
impress on Congress. is that this coun-
try also needs some OF the big ships
some Of the biggest In the world The
naval board demands some battleships
OF 1900 tons, and there IS manifest a
decided disinclination 70 provide them.
The Government is now building the

BY order OF the Senate. there has Just
been printed a volume OF over 800 pages
containing a history Of the new Amer

shown by this volume Is the fact that

Want Every College.
Pleasing Prospect.

If all of these colleges and universities
respond with their crews, this regatta
will become one of the great intercolle-
giate meetings of the year. In point OF
numbers it will outrank all others, even
the Poughkeepsie meeting.
So far as possible, the various colleges
whose entries are desired have been
given representation by the board of
stewards. AS a result there are no fac
tions, and the representatives of the
Poughkeepsie and New London meetings
are on more friendly terms than ever.
1t is by the promotion of this spirit
that the stewards hope TO merge the two
regattas OF the East. AS soon as the
second crews of the two factions are
meeting annually, the stewards think il
will be easier to bring the first. or var
sity, Fights together. The stewards are
not in any great hurry to achieve this
end. for they think ii viii all work out
in good time.

G. f. Gustin of Audubon township
came through the storm Tuesday morn
ing on his return. from Fulton, South
Dakota, where he had gone with car
of goods for his neighbor Rumelhart
who moved to that country two weeks
ago. Mr.. Gustin says that region in
the neighborhood of Mitchell is fine
country in appearance but there is a
scarcity of good water such as an
Iowa man appreciates. He could sell
his farm here and double the number
of acres up there but does not think
seriously of doing so, and we think he
will be better satisfied If he remains
in Audubon county. He left for home
at noon Tuesday.

The lecture by Rev. George l.. Nc
Mutt, commonly known as the "Din-
ner-Pail man." was one of the best of
the course, and should have had a
much larger hearing. AS stated here
tofore, Mr.. McNutt left the pulpit in
order to go among the working men
to make study of the conditions of
the labor problem as it is in this coun-
try today. He recited number of his
own personal experiences in travelling
from one place to another, in seeking
work, and in finding something to eat
when he was hungry. 1t Is evident
from what he has seen and felt and
heard that one half the world doesn't
know much about the way the other
half live. At the close of the lecture
a reception was held under the aus
pices OF the Mems Club Of the Presby-
terian church where the entertainment
was given, where quite number of
the men awaited themselves of the opp
ortunity to meet Mr.. McNutt person
ally.

whose husband was killed by the
bridge disaster would receive $4,000
from the Modern WoodmeE. In con-
versation with d. A. Fowble, one of
the men who were with Mr.. White at
the time of the accident, he says that
only short time ago they were talk
ing about it and Mr. White said he
had been a member of the camp at
Atlantic but dropped out about year
ago. The result is that his widow
will get no insurance.

The school election Monday created
no excitement and called out COM
parativly small vote, only 43 ballots
being cast. Meprs j. M. McKarahan
and L. d. Phelps were chosen for
three years and V. l.. Culver for one
year to fill vacancy. AS all of these
men have been members, their election
without opposition would indicate
that either school affairs are very
quiet or the people very indifferent.

A. G. Steele of Coon Rapids, one of
the stock buyers of that country, who
trades on this market, was in recently
and bought string of stockers. Mr..
Steele says that corn is now down to
30 cents bushel, a decline from last
falls prices, and that quite few
cattle will be fed there this spring and
summer. "With heavier corn crop
than usual last year, fewer cattle have
been fed this winter" said Mr.. Steele.
"This condition shows that the feed
ers have not been making very much
money at the business, and prefer TO
drop out and take rest. Hogs are
high in price, and there are good
many light hogs in the country, which
will in all probability be fed up and
made ready for the early summer
market. Kansas City Telegram.
