FARMER THE MAN OF THE HOUR,

The world is at the knees OF the
farmer. the farmer IS the man OF the

farmer and his worth. He says:

and wear He is the foundation of the
business and commerce of the world.
In a real sense the urban population
is composed largely OF eXploiters OF
the farmer The city dweliers are 100
literally parasites upon the fat of the
land.
But the farmer is not merely the
material basis OF modern society and
the power behind the wheels of life
and commerce. He is also the nope
OF spiritual rejuvenation. and the
guardian of the traditions Of the ACE.
The farm furnishes not only the food
on which We live, but gives US also
the men that build the cities and hold
the reins Of craftsmanship.
IF society is to be maintained with
it's traditional standards, or to be i'm
proved. attention must be given toI
life at it's source-the farm. Is rural
social life receiving sufficient consid-

LATEST BRITISH
DREAON0UGHTS TO
HAVE FIFTEEN-lNCHERS
Gun Weighs Ninety-six Tons
30 Per Cent More Than
IWeIVe-lnCherS

1t appears to have been definitely
decided that the latest British dread
roughts will be armed with fifteen
inch guns. Some conception Of the
magnitude and power Of this weapon
can be gathered when we say that it
weighs ninety-siX tons and fires shei!
e Is pounds, which is about two and
che third times as heavy as the shell
fired by the first dreadnought. 1t is
said that the increase in the size and
power Of the gun is not due tC any
Gesire for longer range. The present
twelve-inch guns can pc1etrate twelve
inches Of hardened steel at 5000
wards. This distance is half as great
again as that over which battle prac-
.ce is usually carried out. The fifteen
inch weapon weighs per cent more
than the twelve-inch gun and the lat
ter can be fired rl>re rapidly-to be
accurate. at the speed Of two rounds
per minute. as opposed to IL for the
fifteen-inch gun. There is one feature
in which the larger weapon is said tG
excel. and that is that the increased
caliber means improved accuracy in
shooting Experiments carried out in
the United States showed that at dis
t8nce of 10000 yards fourteen;tncn
Suns had a 80 per cent greater accu-
lacy than the twelve-ii:ch weapons.
The tendency to increase the Caliber
of the big guns is universal. Germany
is turning out a fifteen-inch weapon,
which weighs eightytwo tons and fires
1675-pound projectiles. France is arm
ing her latest ships with l3.4-inch

WANTS WARsHIPS FOR CANAL
Goethals Requests That TWO Vessels
be Sent to Panama Waters at Once.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Colonel Geo.
w. Goethals, governor of the Panama
canal zone, has reiterated his request
that two torpedoboat destroyers be
sent to canal zone waters to prevent
violation of neutrality through the mis-,
use of wireless and the taking on OF
supplies by belligerent vessels.
Because of the confidential nature OF
Colonel Cocktails dispatch, Secretary
Garrison declined to make it public.
He issued this statement:
THE substance of the dispatch is
that in Colonel Cocktails judgment the
misuse of radiOcommunications within
canal waters and the prevention of the
misuse of these waters as base OF
supplies require the presence of swift
moving ships of the variety mentioned
He concluded with an appeal to this
government to refrain from any hos,
tile act.

Mexico's Salt Producing Lake.

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt-producing lakes near Salinas
station, on the Tampico division OF the
Mexican Central railway. 70 miles west
Of San Luis Potosi. 1t may well be
termed a two-story lake, for at times
there is lake of fresh water over
lying the salt lake. A water tight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water. For large
part Of the year there is no fresh
water lake there The sun licks it up
soon after the rainy season IS over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-five years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes it's
living from the salt. The property
is owned by family or estate, but
1t is said that not one of the owners
has lived there for years.

We have been subjected to a shower

reverent toward religious faith, and
almost willing to go to church. All
this may seem to our pagan mind as
