in one day, said a member of the ma
tional guard. II was surprised, too,
when reading Frederick j. Haskin' S
book, The American Government to
learn that it was such large item-
According to Mr.. Haskin there Is re-
quired for an army of 10000 men. for
each days ratlons. 30 tons of meat. 90
tons of bread, so tons of potatoes and
40 tons of other food
This much food when figured down
amounts to $4,000 pounds or 6.0s0,OO
ounces. The cost of this food could be
conservatively placed at 21 cents per
man for each meal, or $4,000 a day,
Counting 365 days in year it costs
Uncle Sam $22 995,00 to feed his soldier
boys, to say nothing of clothing, shelter,
arms" etc.

THE INN

Mary Eleanor Roberts in Lippincott's.
Lifes an Inn, nor may We stay
Where we lord 1t for a day,
Dreaming. as the time slips by,
Ours the rooms we occupy.
Nay, tho we be well-bestowed,
Other guests are on the road
Friend our moment comes to go,
The Postillion waits below!
And these halls that we have known
Fondly thought Of as our own.
Keep of us no further trace
Than the mirror of our face.
Quickly, ere the summons falls.
Write thy name upon the walls.

MAYOR MAY BLOCK
IMHOFF INSPECTION

Dispute the opposition of Mayor
Frank J. Murray to the entire Orange
Common Council taking a trip to At
lanta. Ga. for the purpose Of inspect
ing an Imhoff sewage disposal plant
in that city. "a resolution was adopted
appropriating 81 900 for the trip. Tt is
expected the executive will veto the
resolution when it comes before him.
It was the intention of the Council to
start the trip ON May .. but as the
mayor Is given two weeks to consider
the resolution. the Trip will probably
be delayed.
The object Of the trip will be 10 de-
termine whether Orange should join
with Montclair and East Orange in
the erection Of an Gmhof plant in
Soho.
Eleven members of the council,
City Engineer Crane and two mem
bers Of the advisory sewer committee
will probably make the inspection.
Mayor Murray will &c asked to go,
but it is believed he will decline.
Councilman Quin. who opposed the
trip from the time Councilman Stet-
son suggested &. voiced his dis
approval in no uncertain language
again last night and declared that
Montclair and East Orange, the two
municipalities which propose to
establish an nnhou tank with Or
ange. would derive !he most benefit
from the inspection.
Mayor Murray Wien called upon for
his view said he sWas in favor OF
committee conducting the inspection.
He could see no reason why the en-
tire body should go.
Councilman Freeman reiterated his
statement that he desires to see the
Atlanta plant principally to deter
mine whether an odor can be de-
tected as he says that the lmhon
experimental plant at Worcester.
which the council has seen, is en-
tirely unsatisfactory to him. Coun-
Gilman keister suggested as means
of reducing The expense not to take
members Of the advisory committee,
but Mr.. Stetson did not think this
would be right in view of the fact
that they have studied the scheme in
the interest of the city without COM

ALFALFA WEEVlL DOOMED;

sites which will destroy the weevil
that preys on the alfalfa crops of the

by w. r. Thompson, representative
of the United States bureau of ento-

notified DIR. L. o. HOWARD. chief of
the bureau, that Il shipment of these
parasites is on its way from Europe.
The alfalfa weevil has not spread
to any such extent as the cotton boil
weevil, but as many farmers through
out the West include alfalfa as one of
their principal crops. the timely intro
duction into their fields of an enemy
to the pest will save many agricultur-
lists from loss.
