PLAN A PEACE CENTENNIAL
WHEN WE ROUND OUT 100 YEARS
WITHOUT WAR.
Great Britain and Canada to Con-
slider its Celebration.

Beverly, Massachusetts, COM
memorate in some fitting way the
rounding out of one hundred years OF
peace among English speaking people
pie it is proposed to hold a confer.
ence at an early date between COM
missioners representing the United
States, Great Britain and Canada,
whose duty it shall be to devise a plan
for this suspicious centenary.
President Taft was waited on by
delegation appointed by the recent
Lake Hohont conference and invited
to become honorary president of the
commission that shall represent the
United States in the proposed con-
ference. The centennial falls on
December "a, 1914 which was the date
100 years ago on which the treaty Of
Client was signed bringing to an end
the war of 1912.
One of the tentative plans is to
erect in commemoration of the long
peace an international bridge across
Niagara Falls. 1t has also been sug-
gested that an exposition be held at
the time in which the nations of the
world shall be invited TO participate.
John A. Stewart, chairman of the
executive committee from which the
delegation was chosen presented the
matter to the president who after
cordially indorsing all peace plans,
asked the committee to put its propo-
sition in the form Of a letter which he
would consider and make reply to.
1t is believed that the president will
accept the post of honorary head Of
the United States commission.

Prunes and Raisins-Some
Custom Figures.

Washington, D. G. The United

imported extensively.
Twenty years ago the imports of
fruit and nuts we're more tlan five
times as great as the exports the
former being valued at $21, 100000
while the latter were valued at only
$4,0000O0. During the last fiscal year
the imports of fruits had increased to
36,000000 while the exports had gone
up in value to $1900O,OO0.
In 1890, 100000 worth of oranges
were imported In 1910 less than
100000 worth; while more than ST.
100000 worth we're exported last year
as compared with S25O000 in 1900. AS
to prunes, while $1,75O,OOO worth were
imported in 1890, less than $4,000
worth came in last year. The exports
of this fruit increased from 81 ,66O,00O

KANSAS TOPICS
state Law Mot ApplicabIe.

Topeka.-Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral John Marshall is trying to rake
up some law that will forbid the ex-
hibition of the Jeffries-Johnson pic
lures in Kansas. So far he has been
unable to find any state law that bars
such pictures, but he still is searching
the books. Kansas has a law forbid
ding the exhibition of obscene pic
lures. 1t is question, however,
whether this could be stretched to in
clude prize fight pictures. And it also
is doubtful whether the nuisance law
could catch them.
"Of course each city has right to
pass an ordinance against the pic.
lures" said Mr.. Marshall, "even
though I am unable, after a most
thorough search, to find any state law
against them"

buildings are of white limestone, a uni
formity in building material that is
hard to find at any like institution.
The college farm includes several
stone quarries and every building has
been built with stone owned by the
college. This makes 1t possible for
the college to build bigger buildings
with the appropriations as the state
does not have to pay for the STONE.
The quarries are about half mile

gymnasium is being quarried, block
ed out and dressed at the quarries and
