IN PRAISE OF GRAVY.

Every gravy has its merits and its
partisans. We profess a prejudice in
favor of gravy thckened up with
milk and flour, although g. childhood
memory OF plain unadorned ham gravy,
tricklcd over the surface of buckwheat
cakes already swimming in maple
syrup, comes back to us with almost
poignant sweetness. The best single
dish OF gravy we ever ate had dried
beef as its basis, and was made with
plenty of milk still warm from the COW:
it happened on a morning in camp in
the valley Of an Ohio creek. after a. tor
rental nights rain which had driven
the party to seek higher ground. Well

OUR AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN

5 maintenance of the status quo in east
crn Asia seems to be approved in the

but 1T was suggested that the under
standing should take the form of an
agreement with the binding force of q
treaty.
BY this agreement the two countries
pledge themselves to encourage the free
and peaceful development of their
commerce in the Pacific and to main
tain the principle of equal opportun-
itv for commerce and industry In
China. Then there is a firm reciprocal
resolution of each government to re-
apect the territorial possessions in the
! Pacific of the other, and an expressed
determination to support, "bs all peace

endcncc and integrity Of China and the

final article is a pledge Of the gov
iernincnts to communicate with each
other as to the proper measures to
take il the status quo or the open
door should be mcnaced.
One more victory has been won in the
Interest OF peace. Great wars in our
nge are often waged in the Interest
Of commerce. The agreement now en-
tered into means that two OF the prin-
cipal Pacific powers recognize the right

The problem of buying Christmas
books for children is one that Is not
always easy of solution. OF the making
OF books there is, apparently, no end,
but many new books do not contain
any approciahle merit apart from
ghudy pictures and tasteful cover de-
signs. AS a rule the old standard
books that delighted and fascinated
children a generation or two ago, are as
good now as ever. The old fairy tales,
the old stories of adventure, have stood
the test Of time. and no mistake is
made In selecting them for gifts to
those who have not read them OF

In the market, and they will be found

CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES.

Tho meeting in Washington OF Ma
tional1 Conservation commission to be
followed by meeting of governors and
the commission is the result of the
movement for conserving the Nations
resources, inaugurated by President
Roosevelt The commission now is in
possession Of most valuable informa-
ton concerning our national wealth.
Data have been gathered as to how
much land we have; how much water
| and water power; how much coal and
| timber, etc, and with the facts before
it the commission can make some p1ac-
| ticai recommendations as to what Is
necessary for the conservation and
further development of the resources.
That this Is n most important work is
readily seen. The resources of nature
are, by no means ineXhaustible. They
can be squandered Just rs easily as ac-
.cumulated wealth. Nations have been
Impoverished because they have not
saved their resources. Land has been
rendered barren by the waste OF its
| trees. The very climatic conditions
have been affected by waste The con-
servation of the existing resources and
their further development is, therefore,
really a vital question to any nation
If President Roosevelt had done moth
ing else during his administration, it
would be memorable one by reason OF
this effort to make the country realize
the Importance OF saving it's natural
resources.
