Foolish War Talk.

Some warrior down at Washington
says that a military power in the ORR
emit, and no doubt he meant Japan,
could land 200, 900 soldiers on the Pa
cifc coast in 30 days. 1t took Eng
land nearly a year to transport 100, 600
to the friendly shores of South Africa
and she has four times the transport
facilities that Japan has or will have
in many years If ever.
1t would be nothing short Of insane
stupidity for Japan to try such a wild
scheme. With something like 1000
miles Of water between her home base
and the United States, it would be
impossible for her to maintain an
army in this country unless the Unit
ed States navy was sunk and the
country sleeping. Our navy will al
ways be superior to Japan's and we
have about seven million of the best
fighters In the world, and then for
those Washington gentlemen to say
that Japan could land 200, 900 men in
this country in 30 days. Bosh!
Napoleon went into Russia with
half a million veterans and he had a
hard time getting back without an
army. The burning of Moscow and
lack of supplies defeated a military
genius.
II Japan should be allowed to land
a million soldiers on the Pacific coast,
and this great army attempted to
march " the mountains and plains
as far east as the Mississippi river, it

Mrs. friedrich A. Keep and daugh-

Thursday where they will spend the
winter. They will return to Canton

both declare that in all their travels
east and west they have never found
a more beautiful home town than
Canton, and nowhere did they find a
town better painted or with better
cement walks. Mrs. Keep has travelled

Last Friday afternoon while skat-
ing on the river, Lloyd Hokenstad
had the misfortune to get in wrong
in a sidney game and came out
with a cash from the corner Of his
mouth to the middle of his cheek on
the right side of his face. The brave
little fellow suffered intense pain but
had courage enough to walk to the
doctors office without aid, Four
stitches we're required to close the
gaping wound. The game of "shiney,'.

Tribune Becomes Farmer
And Breeder.

This office is in receipt of an an
nouncement Of the change of name of
Farmers Tribune to Farmer and
Breeder. Farmers Tribune was es-
tablished in 1878 and has been pub
lished in Sioux City, Ia, since 1904.
The publishers, Farmer And Breeder
Company, emphasize the fact that
the change is in name only, as the
men who have so successfully con-
Quoted the business since it was
brought to Sioux City will continue
in charge. Farmers and Breeder Is
owned, edited and published by
northwestern farmers and breeders.
H. g. Mcmillan is President and
General Manager and John Thomp-
son, Editor. Both of these men are
highly successful farmers and stock
men and own and operate farms In
connection with their newspaper
work. Farmer and Breeder Is a most
appropriate name for that publication.
Its scope fully covers the live stock
ind ustry and the grain farmer is fully
as we'll served by the publication as
the breeder. We are advised, how
eve that it is the intention of the
publishers to devote more attention
to live stock and breeding features in
the future. We believe this is a good
move, because the future OF this
great agricultural territory depends
upon how much live stock our farms
produce. A liberal production of live
stock in this country will solve the
greatest problem Of conserving our
natural resources-a retention OF the
fertility of soil.

Judge Aikens is in Washington and
called on the President Monday. His
friends all over the state are backing
him for the vacancy that Judge Car
lands promotion will create. Mr..
Elliott is not the man for that pro-
sition. He has always stood close to
the inner circles of the Milwaukee
railroad Company and for that reason
alone he should not be considered.
Judge Aikens is not classed as a cor
poration attorney and therefore would
be the best man to promote. Those
compelled to 60 into the Federal
Court would expect a square deal
from Atkens in a contest with a rail-
road, while, on the other hand, If Mr..
Elliott, as Judge, should decide in
favor Of a railroad IS against al in
dividual, the suspicion would hold
that he was biased. Mr.. Elliott can-
not afford to face such a condition
and his friends should not try to force
him onto the Federal bench from the
private Office OF a great corporation.
Mr.. Elliott is IN old friend Of the
writer. but the condition that calls
for a protest has nothing to do with
rsonal friendship.

A GREAT DEVICE
FOR RUBBERNECKS

Something new for rubber
necks has been invented by an
Englishman. When the late kings
funeral procession was passing
through the streets of London
immense crowds thronged every
available spot to catch a glimpse
Of the many notables following
the hearse.
With bamboo cane, selected
because of its lightness, and two
mirrors, placed as seen in pic
ture, he devised a means Of see
ing the procession from the rear
of dense crowd. The mirror at
top is placed at the right angle to
reflect the scene upon the lower
one, which in turn pictures the
happenings as faithfully as IL the
eye were glancing directly at the
obpject itself.
