ARE Enumerated.
Detroit, Mich, Dec. 13.-If the United
States actually gets into a fuss with
Mexico, marines from the battleships
might make a charge on Mexico City
from Veracruz in automobiles.
At least the Ford Times suggests
editorially that If it is feasible TO
equip the warships with flying ma
chimes It Is much more necessary to
equip them with motor cars.
Also it gives a number of good rea-
sons in support of its contention and
points out number Of uses for a car
on Warships.
Here is the editorial:
Why not autos for the navy2 There's
serious talk of equipping battleships
with airships- Why not equip each
ship first with a more practical auxiI-
iary-a small automObile2
To those familiar with naval affairs,
this should prove a suggestion worth
serious consideration. There are any
number Of profitable uses to which a
car could be put.
It would serve as an ideal means OF
transportation for the officers of the
ship while in port.
1t could be used ofttimes for making
trips inland. to get the ships mail and
lighter provisions.
It could be used for carrying the
signalmen from one place to another
during land maneuYers-
It could be used to transport ammu-
milton for landing parties of marines.
It could be used to carry machine
guns from one point to another.
These and many other services the
Ford could perform in connection with
manO'war that would make it in

COOPERATIVE MEAT CIRCLE
5uteherIns Association Started Among
Farmers In Ohio Community
Meets With Much Success.

Some years ago we started here
cooperative meat or butchering asso-
citation among our farmers whereby
we all get fresh meat at cost. AS soon
as frosts and cool weather comes this
association begins operation, writes
George w. Brown of Hancock county,
Ohio, in the Farm and Home. Each of
the eight farmers in the circle con.
tribute a fatted beef.
When the first beef is butchered IL
is cut up into eight pieces as evenly
divided as possible and each man
takes a piece home. A bookkeeper is
appointed and a memorandum is made
of each piece. At the next round Of
killing each man gets a different cut
When the season is over, which lasts
two to three, months or until pork kill
ing time approaches, each family has
consumed a beef and has had differ
ent portion each time and fresh beef
at a nominal cost.
The circle was formed mutually and
each man aims to be present and aid
in the killing, help weigh up and set
tie. Last year the price paid for diff
ferences In weight of pieces was eight
cents per pound. Each owner of the
animal butchered keeps the hide, tai
low and offal.

LIFE IS AN UPWARD EFFORT
Taking General Direction OF Its Cur
rent II Always Shows Ascent
and Growth.

Edouard lie Roy, in his book, THE
New Philosophy of Henri Bergeson":
In the depths of ourselves we find lib
erty; in the depths of universal being
we find a demand for creation. Since
evolution is creative, each Of its mo
ments works for the production Of an
indeduclble and transcendent future.
This future must not be regarded as
simple development of the present,
a simple expression of germs already
given. Consequently we have no au-
thority for saying that there is forever
only one order of life, only one plane
of action, only one rythm of duration,
only one perspective of existence. And
II disconnections and abrupt leaps are
visible in the economy of the past
from matter to life, from the animal
to the man-we have no authority
again for claiming that we cannot OBJ
serve today something analogous in
the very essence of human life, that
the point of view of the flesh and the
point of view of the spirit, the point
of view of reason, and the point of
view of character. are homogeneous

ARE FARMERS DISSATISFIED?
Missouri Pessimist Afraid City Man
Will Soon Refuse to Pay High
Prices for Meat and Eggs.
CRv p a WEATHERsToNE)

CBy r. G. wEATHERSTONE)
A Missouri man with characteristic
pessimism opines that the exhorbitant
prices that the farmer is getting for
his grain and live stock will eventually
lead to his destruction.
This sign reader says the products
of the farm were selling too low for
the producer to make a living a few
years ago. Now, the prices are at the
other extreme and he fears for the
prosperity of the man of the soil.
Our Missouri pessimist bases his
gloomy predictions from the inability
of the city man to eat 40 cent eggs,
35 cent bacon, 45 cent butter and 80
cent beefsteak. He declares that sal
aries have not increased as rapidly as
the price of the things he must eat
and he must, therefore reduce his
expenses by cutting down his grocery
bills.
This means that il the price of meat
keeps up Americans will cease to be
meat eaters, and the Missouri prog
nosticator declares that no nation hav-
ing once ceased to eat meat has ever
been known to return to the habit.
With nobody to eat meat, farmers
will find it Improbable to raise 1t,
the packing houses will go out of
business and agriculture will sink into
a state of decay.
II seems to us that the Missouri
man has overlooked the fact that
even if people do stop eating meat
they must eat something else and as
the farmer is the only man who grows
things to eat, he will turn his atten-
ton to growing the things the city
people want and his destruction win,
therefore, be postponed.
At any rate we do not believe that
the farmers of this country are losing
much sleep over their present pros
porous condition but will continue to
produce whatever the people want
whether it be meat, fruit or vegetables
and abide by the principle of the law
of supply and demand, taking their
chances of poverty or richness along
with other folks.

blowing drills, and the effect on the
freshness of the atmosphere of the
school rooms has been so noticeable
that the teachers have become assid-
nous in seeing to 1t that no child comes
to school unprovided with a pocket
handkerchief. They often, indeed,
themselves, order the drills without
waiting for the coming of the nurse.
The effect of the drill is perceptible
already on individual children. in
cases of catarrh, and the doctors pre-
dict that it will have an appreciable
effect in time in lessening adenoids
and other throat and nose affections.

Bermuda grass is the great pasture
