FOR The CHILDREN
SEEING the President.

Oh grandma, could you ever guess?
Oh, grandma. did you see?
The president went down our street.
And he took off his hat to me!
You know, the others go to school.
And just before they went
They said they'd have to hurry
So they'd see the president
I cried little, though I'm big
(But mother thinks I'm smalD.
And was 'fraid l wouldn't see
The president at all
But mother said that | could go
And stand out by the gate.
And maybe he might pass our house
If would only wait
And then he did! l waved my hand.
And he saw me and smiled.
The others all had gone to school.
So I was the only child
Maybe the other girls and boys
All heard him speak. but he
Just smiled and smiled then raised his
hand,
And he took off his hat to me!
But I know this: The president
Is not too big to see
A little girl when she waves her hand.
And he took off his hat to me!

ma to Cost $4,000.
Olympia.-Figuring on the erection
of $4,000 armories each at Everett
and North Yakima Adjutant General
Llewellyn of the national guard has
advised State Auditor Claus$n that
military appropriations by the next
legislature for the coming two years
should be $358,900.
OF this amount $157 400 is estimated
for salaries and the cost of maintain
ing the militia on it's present basis.
For naval militia, including one addi-
tional division, he asks $4,000 and for
three additional companies of coast
artillery appropriation of $4,000 is
required.
Assessments for local improvements
in the vicinity of state armories will
probably cost $4,000, and a special
deficiency appropriation of about
$500 needs to be made to pay these
men retained pay due them before
the present appropriation period ex-
pires merit April.

Church Tower BeIfries

Probably you have noticed that the
openings in the belfry Of church are
usually filed with a number of slant
ing boards. sometimes covered with
lead. These are improperly called lou
vres. and many persons imagine that
they are so arranged AS to keep out the
rain The right name for these Stats
is abatsons. a word that means to
throw down
Their use is not to keep out the rain.

at all. and rain can beat in through
the openings very easily They are de
signed to turn the sound of the bells
downward. so that persons on the
ground cas- hear them better In the
middle ages some Of these abatsons
were beautifully carved and decorated.

formerly of Sleepy Eye who is making
g trip around the world, in an inter-
esting letter from Nagasaki, Japan,
to the Sleepy Eye HeraId-Dispatch
scouts the idea of a possible war be-
tween this country and the Japanese
Empire. He finds no antipathy against
the United States: but the Japs do
hate q Chinaman and despise Rus
sian. With limited resources and a
national debt of sl,325 900, 900, the
in his opinion, is practically
bankrupt and in no position to en-
gage 10 a costly war.
He says of the japanese that they
have no genius, no creative ability,
that they are simply imitators and
tn at all but few are practically slaves.
The men in the navy get four cents q
day and in the army three cents a day
and the highest class labor receives
but forty cents day. The women
coal the boats and receive for this
work from seven to ten cents q day.

means of proceeding With the project.
No aggressive work had been done
for some months and one of the main
questions to be considered was
whether or not the propaganda work
should be kept up, until sufficient
funds should be pledged to make the
project feasible. From the report of
the collector it appeared that almost
$4,000 worth of stock had been sold
and it was said that large humber
