A post would replace. and then withdraw.
bringing up the dirt just as a dredger
would. Indeed. the implement works
much like a dredging machine. The ad-
vantage of the auger is in the small.
clean hole it makes. Without il a post
hole must be dug with a spade and the
smallest spade not only makes a hole
too big, but one that necessarily slants
from the rim to the bottom and must be
filled again. IT is easy to understand that
a post will stand much more firmly in a.
hole that not does not have TO be filled in.

Breakfast Conference.

The program today began with d break
fast of the committees at the Y. NJ. G. A.
cafeteria. on f street, near 18th street.
Later in the morning Secretary Knox re-
ceived the official delegates to the recent
twelfth international congress on alcohol
ism, and afterward the delegates met at
the First Congregational Church.
At the breakfast conference resolutions
were adopted appointing deputation to
urge the Y. VI. C. A. to promote total
abstinence associations in the army ard
navy. This action was in harmony
with a suggestion made to G.. r. Munroe
by Maj Gen. F. d. Grant in an inter-
view in Chicago. Gen. Grant stated that
the Y NJ. c. A. was the best equipped
organization to undertake such work, as
it lad the confidence of the men and
could very properly take the initiative.
He added that officers could be found
who would help the men at the proper
time
The deputation named consists of John

Mere, G. r. Munroe. 0. S. Gardner, o.

representing reform organizations cen
tering in New York. This deputation is
expected to take the matter up with the

Officers and members of national re-
form organizations now in the city were
designated deputation to call on Presi-
dent Taft and congratulate him on his de-
mand for reform of the ''scanda ious de-

Senator Burkett's Argument.

Senator Burkett made the argument
that as the railroads and the other great
corporations now require their employees
to be total abstainers, the United States
should require the same "clear heads
and clean lives" from it's employees.
Every man who has work to do In the
world" said the Senator. must make
up his mind that total abstinence is
the only thing for him.

The movement is to be confined to the
question of personal abstinence and will
not touch upon prohibition or the canteen
question. Seats were reserved for sol
ders and sailors, and announcements of
the meetings had been sent to Fort Myer
and the navy yard barracks.
Senator Burkett presided over the meet
