London.-Italy has struck the first
blow in her war with Turkey.
Following but few hours after the
formal declaration that peace was at
an end, Italian warships of the Ion
ian fleet, attacked a flotilla OF Turkish
destroyers cruising off the coast of
Epirus. One Turkish vessel was sent
to the bottom of the harbor at Pre-
vesa, and another damaged by shells,
was run ashore in the Gulf of Arta.
Italian forces also have been landed
at Tripoli and Benghazi. The Turkish
commander at Tripoli was asked to
surrender, but declined. The landing
was not made without resistance, the
Turks succeeding in sinking the first
two barges that put off from the feet.
The number of lives lost cannot even
be estimated, as the cable dispatches
since the landing have been few and
barren of detail
Turks Not Ready to Fight.
All this followed the announcement
from ConstantinopIe that the Turkish
government had decided not to offer
an armed resistance to the Occupation
of 'Tripoli, and further, to take no
measures against Italian residents in
Turkey. The government hoped by
adopting that attitude that Italy would
not treat the Tripolitans as conquer
ed people. Matters have gone so far
now, however, that it is doubted in
the best informed circles here if the
porte can restrain the eagerness of
the Turkish people for war. That
there was a disagreement within the
government itself is evidenced by the
| fact that Immediately following the
peaceful proclamation the Turkish
cabinet resigned. Said Pasha, presi-
dent of the senate, has been appoint
ed grand vizier and Kaimil Pasha,
foreign minister. Mahmoud Shefket
Pasha will continue as minister OF
war. 1t is believed that the turn
given affairs by large developments
will compel Turkey to fight.
| Rome Makes Announcement.
Official declaration of war has been
made by the Italian government. 1t
in state of war, beginning at 2:3O
o'clock on the afternoon of Friday
September 20. This is the hour at
which the Italian ultimatum to Turkey
expired and followed session of the
cabinet, at which the Turkish reply
was considered and found unsatisfac
tory. Though every indication pointed
to this action by the Italian govern
ment, there was always possibility
that the good offices of other gov
ernments would be successful ii
avoiding hostilities, and when the fina
decision of the cabinet was announced
the excitement through Rome was in
tense.
1t is understood that the Italian
ministers have elaborated scheme
for the administration of Tripoli will
the Duke of the Abruzzi as the frs
governor, and among the first acti
of the new government will be tn,

upon the Tripolitaps.

DEBIT AND CREDIT.

That all sounds very we'll, but if credit

later, notwithstanding 1t was boldly
argued by the Cavalier promoters that
such building would cost but little OF
nothing. As for the present generation

The Pioneer Express is also greatly

provided the people who voted to put it
there would be the only ones taxed to
pay for it.
We are perfectly willing that they
should have all the glory and the credit,
but we dislike to help pay for other

court says we must and therefore we
must.

made to place his head under an old
fashioned desk and above shelf, be-
tween which there was just room for the
head to oscillate about three inches each
way. The boy being in position, the
schoolmaster drew his rawhide across
the part of the boy where the pants were
tightest. Then came reflex action witt

mortality tables; and there's nothing
needs life insurance so much as them
selves.
We advise everyone to insure in as
many fratenals as possible, as many as
they can afford to pay for.
The latter two propositions are not
contradictory. They seem so, it is true.
But the reason of the short life Of the
fraternals is that they are too cheap.
They don't cost enough. Hence you get
big returns for your money, you get
more than you pay for. But you say,
this will not give me old age insurance.
True, but strange as it may seem, you
don't need old age insurance as much as
you do insurance perhaps right now.
Now is the time when the farm IS under
mortgage, now is the time when your
children are helpless, now is the time
when you have begun to save for the
rainy day. Later you will pay the farm
mortgage, your children instead of being
helpless will be helpful, and the rainy
day store will be much larger. But if.
you die before these things are in this
form, the life insurance will take care of

out a twenty year policy. Then at
maturity fyou need it you can realize
on it yourself, or if not, then leave it as
permanent security for the loved ones,
without farther payments.
But every man and many women
should carry life insurance. The pity of
all is however, that those who need it
most carry the least or none. 1t is the
peor man who needs insurance most.

THE VALUE OF A
CHRISTMAS GIFT,

"Christmas comes but once year"
but the real Christmas spirit begins at
midnight on December 25th and ends at
midnight on the next December 25th Of
every year, counting forwards and not
backwards as some do.
But it is we'll that we also make a
special saints day Of the one day. ST.
CHEEKY, and st. Charity, whose names
denote the best there is on earth, deserve
as much il not more than any other
saint to have their natal days observed
with happy homecomings. with CHEEKY
salutaions, with the giving Of gifts, with
the relief of the needy.
Strange as it may seem at first thought
the money value in gift-giving is Of the
least value. A gift without part of
the giver's heart lacks it's most essential.
A two-cent postage stamp on the back
Of letter from wandering son to a
neglected old mother would have value
untold to her, value that could not be
expressed in money terms at all.
We are are sorry for some who say,
"Christmas is nothing to me.' There is
none but to whom Chistmas should mean
something. We are all either gift-giver's
or gift receivers. or both. No man, no
woman, no child but is in one or both
Glasses. In fact, all are in the latter
claas, and because in the latter class
ought to be also in the former class.
Everybody, no matter how poor, has
gifts from God. Perchance the cynic
who makes the above remark is in
wardly rejoicing that he has become
SO isolated from the society ofrelatiyes
and friends that he has no obligations to
them, and yet he owes to society all that
he is or has. s5s
3s No man really owns anything. He
struggles to obtain all his life. He amas-
ses a competency and thinks he has
achieved 4 fortune but it is not his. It
is only lent. He may pay some back
during his lifetime and call it charity,
but some time he will 60 away and leave
