Bids Opened for New B%attleships.

Washington, D. c., August 1S.-Bids
for the construction of the two battle
ships, Arkansas and Wyoming, au-
thorized by the last Congress, were
opened at the Navy Department to-
day. These two battleships are to be
among the most formidable fighting
machines afoat. They will carry as
heavy armor and as powerful arma-
ment as any known vessel of their
class; will have a speed of twenty-one
knots, which is believed to be the
highest practicable for vessels of their
type and class, and will have the
highest practicable radius OF action.
The defensive qualities of the two bat
tleships, other than those dependent
upon armor protection, will be such
as to give the maximum degree of
protection to all the vital portions by
means of unusually effective COM
partmental subdivisions, SO that in
conjunction with their armor protec-
ton the defensive qualities of the two
vessels are expected to be distinctly
superior to those of n battleships
hitherto designed.

ROOSEVELT DID 1T.

The Treasury Department has dis
bursed all the new pennies bearing
the initials "V. D. B." that it has on
hand, Or that it proposes to nave on
hand. Thereby hangs a tale. A new
dies is to be made before any more
Lincoln pennies are struck. But 49,
900 900 had been coined, and these
cannot be recalled.
The trouble is really one of EXPIRES
ident Roosevelt's making. In his i'm
pulsive way he induced the late Saint
Gaudens to design new gold coins and
he put his initials on them, and SO
when Victor D. Bremen designed the
Lincoln pennies he put "V. D. B." on
n side of the design. The objec-
tionable initials and the fact that the
new pennies are so large that they
cannot be used in many slot machines
have led to a stoppage of the penny
coinage in the Philadelphia mint.
1t is said the designer Of the Lin
coin penny will have to be content
with a simple B." when the coinage
is renewed. A coin artist should not
expect more than a single initial. The
substitution Of Lincoln's features for
the Indian head of 1864 is not to be
changed, and it does not appear that
the size of the pennies will be altered
to suit In chewing gum slot machine.
Those who think the price of the
Lincoln pennies, bearing the three in
itials will go to high figures are plain
ly mistaken, for millionsof them have
been issued. Those millions will
meet all the demands of coin collec-
tors in many years to come. 1t is not
a case of a few coins of a certain
design. The peoples pockets r well
filled with them.

What q Good Road Is Worth.

I'ew farmers fully realise =: a. 5ue6
roads do for them, lot only il fife
greater facility for hauling produce,
and saving the tax on horses and wag-
ons, but in the general improvement
of the neighborhood. Right here,
where | now live, there is a farm on a
smooth shell road where there was
formerly deep sand. This farm was
sold under the old conditions to the
present owner for $27 an acre He has
refused $3.50 an acre for it, and told
me recently that he could $500 per
acre on hat part of the farm that lies
lear the city limits if he wanted to
sell it.
Out on another fine road four miles
from town there is another farm that
has not been improved at all. My
mother sold that farm over fifty years
ago for Sc an acre. 1t is now held at
$50 per acre, and land all around it is
selling for $50 to $50 per acre totally
u~nimproved, and mainly because
there is "a fine road leading through
the section. Part of this road is
shelled and part is covered with clay
on the deep sand, and that part is oc-
casionally dragged with a King log
made cheaply, for the original deep
drag, and is an excellent road and
sand gives a good drainage. Few peo-
pie realize how cheaply in a clay Sec
ton the road may be made good by
shaping it to drain and covering with
sand or gravel. Making good roads
should also be a part of the instruc-
| ton in the rural schools along with
the elements of agriculture.

PEACE HURT BY WORLD CRUISE.
Lecturer Declares Net Result to Be
Additional Preparation for War.

Additional Preparation for War.
Under the above double heading the
Minneapolis, Ind, Journal, of August
IA, has the following that will be of
local interest in that Rev. Mr.. Hub
bard is the beloved pastor of the
fourishing Friends Church in this
city:
Whatever was the purpose of the
United States government in sending
an imposing feet of warships on a
world cruise, the direct result is a
pronounced setback to international
peace" says Rev. William G. Hubbard,
of Goldsboro, N. c., a vice-pres1dent OF
the American Peace Association for
thirty-nine years. every friend of
universal peace must deplore the real
effects of that cruise, brilliant n
magnificent as it may nave been from
a military standpoint.
Brazil left nothing undone to hon
or the United States, but the first
thing the national government did
when the fleet was out of sight was
to appropriate $4,000 900 for the in
crease of her army and navy. Argen-
tina lost no time in voting SIS, 900 900
for an army. 1t was only a few years
ago that Argentina disbanded it's ar
my and joined Chile in erecting and
dedicating the Christus monument on
the crest of the Andes as a token of
perpetual peace. This was one of the
most beautiful events in history. We
of the peace movement can only re-
gard the vast army appropriation as
a direct consequence of the visit OF
the great feet.
eff it were possible, the reception
| accorded the Americans in Australia
| was even more hearty than in South
| America, but see what resulted. The
| commonwealth of Australia began at
| once to clamor for a large navy, al
though it had thrived and prospered
for mor than a century without one.
Notwithstanding that we regard as
evil the effects of the world cruise of
the batt1eships of the United States,
we feel that our cause is advancing.
The nations are not disarming, but
many treaties in the interests of a
world peace are being consummated.
In this respect the past year is one
of the greatest our movement has
known"
"The American Peace Association is
the oldest organization of it's kind in
the world, having been founded in
1923. Doctor Hubbard has been g
most jealous apostle in it's behalf. He
is now on tour of the Northwest. Doc.
tor Hubbard also is general superin.
tendent of the American Railway Lit
erary Union, whose purpose is to sup.
press the circulation of pernicious lit
