DIVES in SLEEP
FROM SECOND STORY

Napoleon, N. D., Aug. 17.-Arthur
Marietta gave himself an exhibition of
the high dive act one night lately,
which--in view Of the fact that he
failed to break his neck--was the
most remarkable somnambulistic feat
ever pulled off here. While dreaming
the house was on fire. he arose and
went to the window of the second
story and dove out head first, pierre
ing the window glass and landing on
the northeast corner of his counter
ance. He received some cuts on the
forearm, and where he skidded along
on, the gravel-covered earth where he
alighted, he deposited here and there
small contributions of cuticle from the
interior portion Of the top end of his
anatomy.

BUTTER TO
TAKE DROP
THIS WEEK
Cut in the East to Be Met BY
Cent Reduction Here.
COMPETITION DOES 1T
Milk Would Drop If Stiff
Outside Competition
Appeared.

-HANkS to the agitation over
the high cost of living in the
= large cities Of the east, which
caused the wholesale price of but
ter to drop elk cents per pound In
one day last week., the people of
Spokane will get cheaper butter by
the middle or latter part Of the COM
ing week.
The retail price of the best grade
of creamery butter, and all other
grades as well, will be cut five
cents per pound at that time. due to
the arrival in the city of butter
bought on the lower eastern mar
lsst.
This drop will not be due to any
charitable or benevolent tendencies
on the part of the Spokane cream
cries, but because of the sheer
force of competition from the out
side product.
The price of milk could be cut in
the same way II there were but stiff
opposition to come in from the out
side. The creameries of Spokane
are also in the dairy business and
carry on the manufacture of butter
at a closer margin than they do

with sufficient quantity OF milk to
be felt in the local trade would In

NEED MORE INFANTRY
In Case of War With Japan
An Army of Million Men
Gould Be Raised.
(Bx United Press Leased Wire)

(By united PreSS Leased WIre)
vvY ASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 5.
w Uncle Sam will have to
w worry along without any
reorganization of the army or any
other change in the present system
of national defense.
Congress will ignore the presen-
tation of our alleged defenseless-
ness as set forth in the report Of
the general staff, shortly to be is
sued, and the substance of which
has been outlined exclusively in the
United Press dispatches. This is
the declaration of Chairman Hull
of the house committee on military
affairs. In an interview granted
tonight to the United Press he says
it is impossible to expect any
change in existing conditions until
another forced action.
NO SUPPORT FOR ARMY BILL
II have heard of the report of
the general staff he said, "but
don't think it will come before con-
gress this session. There is no
chance at all of getting the matter
considered now in congress. II
any man goes on the floor and ad-
vocates an increase in the army
bill he will not get corporal's
guard of votes to sustain him. We
have had several years of peace
and the country will be more apt
to reduce the number of men in the
army than to increase it. This is
II, hot
years before the Spanish American
war | tried to get an increase OF 25
majors in the army and was al
most hooted down. Then, after the
war we presented reorganization
bill and let the army get what it
believed it wanted.
Il realize that we need more in
fantry. This is the fighting branch
of the service. We need more men
to defend our coast batteries. We
ought to have more men TO relieve
those who go to the tropics. But
we won't get them. The men are
not re-enlisting because of the
hardships they undergo in the
Philippines. We need more field
artillery. But, although we have
only 144 field guns it must be re-
membered that the government has
supplied guns to the national guard
and that these can be called out
for use in war.
IN CASE OF WAR WITH JAPAN
II will admit that If war with
Japan should come now our coast
cities might be captured. But we
could raise an army of million
men and win in the end. 1t might
be humiliating, but the people of
this country are built that way.
They won't prepare for war before
they have to"
There is general resentment from
congressman over what they term
1.-The unwarranted attack in the re-
port on the alleged pork barrel
system of parcelling out army ap-
propriatiOns.'
IF there has been any pork dis
tributed," one congressman said,
"it has been the army that has prof
tied, because the congress leaves
to them the locality of the build
ings."
Chairman Hull was particularly
wrathful over this imputation.
