ing a ten days conference OF the high
officers OF the army. There was adopted
then a complete scheme for the perma-
nent organization OF the land forces Of
the United States. which embodied ali
the reforms which II is desired TO bring
about. The scheme also lays down the
general principles covering the land de-
fenses of the United States. It is pro-

the plan as do not require legislative
action by Congress. The discussions at
the War Department in the next few
days will be to settle the final details as

programme.
One OF the most important Of the
changes which it is proposed to effect
by executive action is the reorganization
OF the army on a tactical basis, and the
creation OF three tactical divisions. II is
expected that the execution of the plan
will require the movements OF some
troops.

Queer Resemblance.

That persons who live together for
very long period not only acquire the
same mannerisms, but grow n strong
facial resemblance. is an established
fact But 1t is little known that the
same condition often exists from mis-
tress and servant being associated to-
gether for a long period of years.
There is usually strong desire ON the
part Of most servants to ape their mis-
tresses. and this, added to the fact Of
constant nearness often extends to IA.

There are In small town In New
York state two unusual instances Of
this kind. Two widows live there.
each of whom has been attended by n
woman servant for more than forty
years. In both cases the servants have
become so like their mistresses that
they are often mistaken for them, and
their cases have attracted attention
far and near. Their voices over the
telephone are so alike that friends of

ment made an interesting and helpful
address upon systematic work and
how to organize. The plan was fully
discussed and by an unanimous vote
was adopted as follows:
Each commissioner will get in touch
with every over-seer in his precinct
and solicit his cooperation in the work
to the extent that he visit the men in
his district and ascertain how many
men, teams and what tools can be de-
pended upon for the two days. Inspect
road and appoint men to work in GER
tain localities, securing report OF
work finally accomplished, and send
ing report to county judge.
II was pointed out that every man la
the county could furnish some tool
that would accomplish efficient work;
wagons. slips, shovels, hoes. picks,
drags, or plows. One gentleman stated
that he is making a split log drag and
will use his auto as power to operate
ii. Two other gentlemen said they
were going to furnish teams and
plows, The commissioners stated that
they were going to furnish as many
drags as possible for use over the
county.
