PATCH AT WASHINGTON
Idaho Adjutant General COnfers With
War Department on Militia.

| WASHINGTON, JAN 22-Adjutant
General L. " Patch of Idaho has been
in Washington this week attending the
meeting of the adjutant generals of
the several states. The object of the
meeting was to confer with the war
department and reach common ground
upon which to ask for legislation to
provide for pay for the militia.
In order to keep up their organiza-
tons the officers and men of the ma
tional guard throughout the country
have often been called upon to make
considerable personal sacrifices. and
as result of the meeting here bill
was agreed upon which it is felt will
provide proper compensation for the
national guard and greatly promote its
efficiency SO that in case of emergency
it will be ready to act with the regular
army and fit into the general plan of
with the least possible friction and :
delay. General Patch took an active
part in the deliberations, and with the
other adjutant generals in attendance
was shown many courtesies while
here. u.
Among the features of the meeting
was a visit to Annapolis where the
United States naval academy is loca-
ted. The visit to the academy proved
lis the adjutant generals were enter
tanned at the executive mansion by
the governor of the state with true
Maryland hospitality.

WASHINGTON Jan. 22.-The desire
| for convenience is the cause of the
high cost of living. according to Ma
tional Democratic Committeeman
Fred B. Lynch, of Minnesota, who
quoted a number Of instances to prove
his contention while sitting in a Wash
ington hotel lobby the other day.
1.-THE average purchase in delica-
81 cents" he declared. 1T was found
to deliver this order to cost cents.
After more investigation along this
line a friend of mine, who has been
put in charge of the store, cut out his
delivery wagons, his telephones, and
every other item which could possibly
be Topped off, and then he cut his
prices. The housewife has to go to
the store herself and bring her goods
home in basket. but she pays only
II cents a pound for porterhouse
steak, Is cents for round steak, and
u cents for pork and mutton. Think
what could be done along the same
lines in New York where it is said the
cost of delivering meats and groceries
is 81 per cent.
Il have long known that telephones
have been largely instrumental in in
creasing the cost of living. 1t is time
the people should make a study of how
to eliminate expenses that are not
when dealing with the
problem of how to cut down the cost
of living"

sILos REDUCE ACRES NEEDED

The experience of F.. H. Gibbs,
Brunswick. Ohio, illustrates how a
more intensive system Of agriculture
naturally follows the taking up OF
dairying. Fifteen years ago Mr.. Gibbs
was the owner of $50 acres of land.
About that time he went into the pure
bred Holstein business. He sold eighty
acres of his farm and was still able
to keep as much stock as he had pre-
viously kept. This was largely due
to the fact that he built silo Now
he says that by putting up another
silo for summer feeding he could de-
crease his farm to sixty acres and
still keep as much stock as he had
on the original 1870 acres. Mr.. Gibbs
is believer in the square silo. He
built such a silo fifteen years ago on
which no repairs have been necessary
since. With the exception of the hard
pine lining all the lumber used was
hard wood that was sawed from ma
tive timber From five to six acres
of corn are usually sufficient to fill
the silo. as yields of corn on this farm
have often been more than 100 bush.

was only one election recalled during
the month and that was in the Plano

The open air plays of Shakespeare,
as given by the Ben Greet Woodland
Players, whose engagement at College
is announced for Wednesday, May 6,
illustrate in an unexpected way the
dramatic form used by the great Eng.

tinuous character of the performance
is preserved in precisely the same
form as in the days of Elizabeth.
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that Shakespeare used no scenery in
his presentations; and, therefore,
could not effect a change of scene.
AS a result the whole play was given
without intermission and as one might
say in one act. The same circum-
stance occurs in the open air plays.
