Do you notice that it's mostly the
gun makers and the gun-fighters who
are so dead sure we are going to have
war with Japan? ,fhe gun makers say
that Japan Is buying guns and torpedo
boats, while the gun-fighters say that
we haven't enough of either: ergo, the
Jnps must fight while they have a
chance to win. That sounds plausible,
but the trouble with these gun people
is they don't understand that the
powers are arming so heavily merely
to preserve the peace. Isn't your Uncle
Sam putting UP as much money as
any one to prevent a combat? Why.
sure he is. And that's why we are
building q big navy because it's
cheaper to be prepared than to fight.
War is getting to be such destructive
and expensive thing that no nation
can afford to go TO IL. hence they are
all arming to prevent It. II Japan
goes up in the air she's going to get
called down by the other powers. And
It's the same way in running a bust
ness as In running nation. It is
better to be prepared than to invite
trouble, and the best way to avoid
trouble is to be prepared. We are
counting on q big killing at our store
this week on account OF the continu-
ance of cold weather and our rs per
cent. discount sale OF Mems Suits.

idea suddenly struck one of our Off
GERS. Being well aware that the Chi
nese generally order their collins years
in advance aNd keep them on the
premises and also that they are per
fectly air tight, he consulted with his
brother officers. with the result that
orders were given to search all the
houses of thu village and collect every
coffin. With the aid of few empty
casks the soldiers constructed a pom,

strong to bear the artillery, and the
river was thns passed in safety.-Lon-
