Help Your Own Poor.

Say, you good man or woman. living in comfort and luxury-you who tuck your precious children Qf you have children) into soft. snug. warm and comfortable beds each night-don [ look up into the stars and into the far corners of the earth for beings to make oeHcsc;aricsot ot your benevolence and your favors; lower your sights and let your vision narrow down, in order that the needs of the poor right here in your immediate vicinity may be appreciated. If you will come down to earth and look about you, the num- Der of deserving ones among those whom i've have with us always" will truly surprise you. There are many mothers obliged to sleep in ''stuffy, n crowded rooms, having only one bed, perhaps, which she occupies with two or three small children, whom she en. deavors to nourish and keep warm by the strength and heat of her own body, in the absence of sufficient blan- kets and coverings. People do not have to be actual paupers to be wor- thy objects of charity. There are peo- pie in actual need who are proudly working and striving to maintain ap- pearances of responsibility, who are just as much in need, and are just as deserving of help, as any other per sons upon whom your favors could be Showered
 The devil is sometimes referred to as the Prince of Evil" but poverty stalks hand in hand with the devil, and while the latter, from time to time, may turn aside and dispense fa- vors with lavish hand, poverty always stalks en-cold, grim and tight-look- ing straight ahead We recall the story of the poor widow, who had been the recipient of supplies and provisions over night, which had been left at her door by some unknown hand. The next day "busybody' in the neigh borhood went to the widows home and exclaimed loudly in horror and deprecation, at the same time telling the poor widow that she must not touch the splendid gift of food and clothing that had been so mysterious ly left at her door, because this chari. ty was that of a notoriously bad and reckless character in the community who was known to all as a regular devil. After listening to the harangut Of the "busybody, the widow very calmly replied: Well, il matters not perhaps the devil brought it, but tht Lord sent it, and l am truly thank full"
 So, now at this glad time, if vol have grouch or selfish desire il your heart, tear it out and crush il under foot. Absorb that divine ant kiDgly sentiment: Peace on eartl and good will toward all men" Liv, in the sublime present, and determin, to put poverty to rout and make tn, poor happy as far as it lies within your power. Verify, it is more bless ed to give than to receive"

WATER POWER IN ICELAND.

There are many waterfalls in Ice
land which are well adapted to be
harnessed, but the difficulty is that
most of them are remote from the
centers of population. There are,
however, many which are available
for the generation of power and
quite recently a syndicate purchased
a large extent of ground in the
neighborhood of Thorlakshaven, as
well as several large waterfalls stu
ated in the mountain regions in the
interior. 1t is stated that the falls
will be able to furnish as much as
100000 horse power. The present
syndicate is to construct a good port
upon its ground and it will furnish
a supply of current to different In
dustries which are situated in thii
district. One of the newest enter
prises will be the construction Of
works for manufacturing nitrogen
Gus products on the Birkeland-Eyd

RICH MILK FROM FAT cows
HoIsteIn Breeders Take Advantage Of
This Fact--Polnt Is OF Interest
and Value.

Cows which are fat at the time OF

equal, give richer milk than though
they were thin. They take the fat
from their backs and ribs and put
II into the milk pail Holstein breed
ers have been taking advantage OF
this fact as Il indicated by many OF
the seven-day Holstein records. AS
an average Of fourteen Holstein COWS,
Il was found that during seven days
early In the milking period, they had
a butter fat percentage Of ABS. But
the average for the whole year was
only 3.42. The Missouri experiment
station has conducted some very In
teresting work In regard to this point.
It has kept record on number OF
COWS which have been unusually rat at
calving time. Invariably the fat cows
lost rapidly in flesh after calving, and
the percentage Of fat in the milk is
abnormally high. In one instance the
oercentaze of fat in the milk three
DAYS after calving was 5.6S. The per
centage declined day by day till
week after calving it was 4.34 and two
weeks after calving 1t was 3.S5.
The fact that fat cows are likely tC
give richer milk than though they
were thin is not only point OF inter
est. but it is of direct value. Besides
throwing some discredit on seven-da!

good feeding during the period JUS

CHURCHILL INTRODUCES
 HIS NAVAL ESTIM TIES
Promises to Keep Pace With Development of German Navy His Speech Causes Some Anxiety the Attitude Ger many Will Take-No Olive Branch Has Ever Had
 More Formidable Appearance

marines this year and as regards the light armored cruisers the admiralty had decided to return to smaller type of vessels.
 MT. Churchill's statement met with general approval. The only strongly dissenting voice was James Kier liar dies, who, in behalf or the laborites, protested against the constantly in creasing naval expenditure. 1Ae declared this constituted a challenge to other powers, which they were bound to ac- cept and which eventually would lead to war.
 Lord Charles Beresrord said the pro- gramme did not make sufficient pro- vision for the protection of trade routes. He regarded the mention of Germany as unnecessary and sure to provoke that country.
 MT. Churchill undergoes the novel ex- perience of being applauded by the con- servative and reproached by the radical organs for his speech in the naval esti- mats. The former welcome his decision in favor of strong navy; the latter are disappointed at the Illustration of their hopes for economy.
 Misgiyings are expressed. however about the wisdom of MT. Churchllls blunt invitation to Germany and doubts are en- tertained whether the Germans will re- ceive the offer in a proper spirit.
 The Daily News says certainly no olive branch has ever had more formidable appearance.

Charlotte, N. C., March 1S.--Reports that the Allen gang has planned new route within the last 12 hours and will try to get away from the Fancy Gap sec ton, reached here tonight

 Mrs. Holmes, a pretty young woman, had been left at home by her husband, Lee Holmes, Saturday night while the latter attended a lodge meeting.

| London, March 1S.-Winston Spencer | Churchill. first lord of the admiralty | today introduced his naval estimates fol the coming year in the house of com mons A decreasce of sl ,5s5.OO0 from the amount spent last year is noted in the budget. MT. Churchill accompanied the introduction with promise of an aug mentation of British naval construction to correspond with the naval programme of Germany. He said he regretted the necessity of referring specifically to Ger many, but continuing he said:
 The Germans are people of robust minds as well as bodies, whose virility is impertously impervious.- They do not recoil from statements of fact
 When he finished he said it would be better for his country to construc. four Dreadnaughts every year for the next six years or four and three al- ternately. "If we are now, 1t seems, confronted with the addition of the new German ships" he concluded. i've propose to meet the demand made upon the higher ratio of superiority by lay ing down four additional ships"
 Referring to the building programme which includes four large armored ships, eight light armored cruisers, 20 destroyers and several submarines, MT Churchill said $3,50O,o00 was to be ex- pended on the constrIction of sub

EMPHASIZE NEED
 0F EFFICIENCY Form National Efficiency
 Society
CANNON IS PRESIDENT
Prominent Men Speak at Banquet Which Follows Organization. Meyer on "Efficiency in the
 Navy"-Gaynor Speaks

New York. March 1S.-At the very start
 of the campaign of the American Society l for Promoting Efficiency incorporated here today with s55 professional and busi- ness men from all parts of the country as members. the society's ideas were car | ried by "effcient editing" of it's constitu- ton. Every instance where a word could be saved in the original draft was bounced upon. The ''board of directors" was cut to directors, and all indefinite articles
 used in the enumeration of offices were struck out.
 James G. Cannon, president of the or ganization committee is III at Atlanta,
 and in his place Henry R. Towne presid- ed. Directors elected today announced
 the election Of James c. Cannon as presi- dent and deferred the election of other officers. The object of the society ito promote increased efficiency in every hu- man activity" was discussed In several speeches. Dr. John A. Gray, head of the department of economies, said:
 "The claims of the efficiency engineers are that by adopting their methods, pro- ruction can be increased from 200 to 300 per Gtill WllH dIl litI tdSo oi oO to pp pFi cent increase in wages and with an in crease of profit of from 200 to 400 per cent"
 The efficiency idea also charged the atmosphere at the first banquet of the society tonight at which there were a number of prominent speakers
 Mayor Gaynor. who also spoke, said the courts constituted the poorest de partment of American government. o11 ot har of the government what to do," he said, but I think they are the least eff cient department of government We have. Our merchants know this. They hardly ever go to any of our city courts with their claims for it is use less to do so."
 The mayor said that those who ad- vanced the judicial recall as something new should go back to school" The recall of judicial decisions, he said had been going on for years by | three distinct methods. The first of these he described as a process of shreddlng in which the obnoxious law was discarded The other two were constitutional amendment and legisa- ton.
 The speaker also voiced his dispeas- ure with office seekers. We have had men in all departments of life lilly prepared but with astonishing ego tism, he said.
 "Certainly 1t is not edifying when people who think themselves fit for public offices cannot sit and let you, and I say 1t about them, but must say it themselves"
 New York, March 1S.-George Von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, and | Herbert Knox Smith. commissioner of corporations, were among the speak CTS at the dinner. sA- "Efficiencv in the Navy" was Sec
 retary Meyers theme and he empha sized the need of consolidating the navy yards The problem would pos l itiVely have to be met, he said when the Panama canal was completed and the American fleet was speeding six months of the year in the Pacific ocean.

Statements Relieve Anxiety

Scranton, Pa. March 1S.--Two state ments made here today tend to relieve considerably local apprehension of a coal strike.
 John T. Demsey, president of district No. of the United Mine Workers, said:
 We are willing and anxious to meet the operators to discuss the matter of wage agreement just as any two par ties having something to buy and sell get together and strike a bargain"
 E. F.. Lomis of New York, vice pres ident of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company and president of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Coal company, said
 There is no reason why both sides should not meet again. I do not be- lieve the mine workers want a strike. know the Delaware, Iackawanna and Western company is not planning for a strike I am very hopeful of strike being averted
 It also was announced today unof- fcially that the miners are prepared to meet the operators half way.
 The opinion is strong here that only an intermediary is necessary to bring the miners and operatoys committees together again before the miners meet ing in Cleveland next month.
