and Monday at the Reser home near
Finley.
The V. P. Glass of the Methodist
church met at the home of Mrs. L. H.
Raymond Tuesday night, the principal
order of business being the election of
officers. Raymond Rarey was chosen
president, Marilla Meikle, -presi-
dent; Guy Davis, secretary and Mary

for the police turned in there. Upon

switch on the light which would call

The Meadowbrook Farm has been
among the heaviest shippers of hay
from this point this season. Their ship
ments have averaged a carload day
for some time and the price received
has been close to $11OO. There has
been remarkably good market for
hay this year, considering the mildness
OF the winter which has allowed the
sheepmen to get through thus far by
feeding little, if any hay. The short
ages of the Idaho and California hay
crops and the fact that there has been
large increase in the livestock in the
valley have contributed to keep the
price up.
There will be big free show staged
at the hall at Finley next Thursday
night, the program being divided be-
tween the Kennewick Club and the
kennewick band and some vaudeville
and musical stunts pulled off by the

fore the eats are served Bro. Kraber

Thursday night that everything will be
free, and all are invited to be present
at both the entertainment and the
dance.

A daily expenditure of $54,o00,00O!
That is the estin1aked cost Of armed
conflict between, France. Russia, Ger
many and Austria. With England and
the Balkan nations included the total
is much higher sum-
At the time of the Russo,Japanese
conflict there was much discussion Of
possible European war, although no
one accepted it seriously at that time.
M. Jules Roche, the famous French
statistician, however, studied the prob
lem carefully and estimated that q
war involving the four nations named
would cost $400,0OO,0OO the first two
months, or $6,O00.000 day each.
Most of the conclusions arrived at
by M. Roche were based on figures
of expenditures for previous wars. He
allowed for the difference in cost, for
modern warfare is much more costly
even than warfare at the time of the
Franco-Prussian war.
Summary Of Cost.
His calculations may be thus sum-
married.:
In January, 1871, the actual cost per
day to the French treasury, according
to the BoreauLajanadie official report
was 100000 francs, or $4,000
this for 100000 men under arms.
Conditions generally have consid-
erably changed within the last thirty
years and warefare is now far more ex-
pensive. To begin with, the number of
men under arms in France, on decla-
ration OF war, would be far greater
than in 1870. France then began by
put ting 100000 men into the field; !;
but in the next great war in which she
may be engaged, her military organ
ization is such that within forty-eight
hours she can mobilize, in round num-
bers, 100000 men and 100000 horses
and mules. The first troops to be
called up would be the thirteen
classes of active and active reserve
troop. Each class number 100000 men,
SO that the actual number Of men to

The German forces are said to In

they believe this is the advance guard
