Science Museum.

Several groups of objects Of special
interest as illustrating appliances
used in war by sea, land, and air
have been brought together in two
rooms in the Science museum, South
Kensington, London. Perhaps the
most striking of these are the series
of models of types of British warships
and of British and foreign aircraft.
Among the former are models of sew,
eral well-known ships, including a
model of his majestys ship Good Hope
and one Of the dreadnaught battleship
his majesty's ship Monarch, the latter
recently added to the collection on
loan. Submarines are represented by
drawings and photographs. With sew
eral of the models in the aeroplane Sec
ton there are full-size engines and
parts. The enemy's aircraft are rep
resented by general model of the
Rumpler-Taube monoplane, which was
the chief German army machine at
the beginning of the war, and dia-
gram drawing of Zeppelin.

Jam and "euIIy Beer for British.

The amount of jam that the British
soldier is eating on this campaign has
attracted the notice of all the foreign
newspaper correspondents, American,
Belgian and French, who have seen
for the first time the British soldier
in wSr. The supply of this particular
delicacy seems to have been unlimit.
ed. With jam. bully beef, biscuits
and tea, the British soldier seems able
to go anywhere and do anything. No
doubt jam is excellent food and, to
a certain extent, l fancy that it re.
places fresh vegetables. The first
campaign in which jam played no
ticeable part was the second BoeI
war.
In Peninsular and Crimean days
freshly killed beef and biscuits were
usual rations of the troops; but the
travelling field kitchens on wheels
which now accompany all regiments
and batteries have improved the Brit
ish soldiers lot.-Exchange.

TINES MANY CHANGES
oLD-TIMER BECOMES REMINIS.
CENT ON THE SUBJECT.
Extinction Of the Wild Pigeon on a
Par With That Of the Buffalo
But the Sparrow Still Is
With Us.

"Time does change the order OF
things" said one of number Of ell
derby men who were gathered in
grocery store over az the Cape one
evening last week, land some of the
changes that are hardly noticed or
even known by most of the younger
people of today are in many ways re-
markable.
"Take, for instance the wild pigeon
that was to be found in almost every
patch of woods in the state when l
was a boy; there is not one to be
found in the entire country east or
west of the Rockies today, and one
of the departments at Washington has
offered a large reward for anyone
who will produce or tell where nest
of the wild pigeons can be found.
GAS l said they were very plentiful
in these parts back in the SOS and
many were found in the COS and early
'7Os, but today not one can be found
in the United States, The cause Of
all this lies in the fact that many
people carried on the business of trap
ping them and out in Scarboro a man
by the name of Plummer did this to
such an extent that he came to be
known as Pigeon Dave Plummer. The
traps were so arranged that hundreds
of the birds would be caught at one
spring of the trap, and when one
comes to think that this business was
carried on all over the country, it is
easy to see how in years their mum.
bers dwindled and finally died out al
together"
ION the other hand" said another
of the party, Comparatively few
years ago we had never heard of such
bird as the English sparrow, and
today they are as thick as white weed
in poor mans pasture"
Speaking of white weed" said the
first speaker, reminds me of the time
l went to school way up on what is
now Highland avenue, and white weed
was just making its appearance in
the fields. 1t was not very plentiful,
however, and remember that farm
er named Dyer told us boys that he
would give us a cent a dozen for all
we could pick in his field, for by that
means it was kept from going to seed.
Look at the fields nowadays. If one
could get a cent dozen for It now,
a person could get rich in the course
of couple of years and not have to
work but week or two each year at
that. Yes, sir, there have been many
changes in such things as these dur
ing the last 20 or more years, and are
still going n."-Portland Express and

the Republican tariff principle would
have been maintained by an electoral
vote of 2 1-2 to l.
This fact was pointed out by Sen
ator Warren, of Wyoming, during the
tariff debate in 1918. Senator Warren
also presented figures showing that
the IL southern states and Arizona
and Oklahoma, which gave a majority
for the democratic party, have u total
population of 26,543,828 while the 81
northern and western states, which
gave a majority for the two protec-
tive tariff parties, have a total popu-
lation of 65, 097, 1863.
The people of this country were in
favor Of protection in 1912, and, after
two years experience with a tariff for
revenue only, they are more strongly
in favor of protection, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the dire results of
Democratic tariff policies were pre-
vented by the outbreak Of the Europ-
can war.

YOUR OWN HOME TOWN

If you meet a man who is down in

Who thinks that his town is all
wrong,
Just take him aside, or out for a ride,
And hand him this quaint little
song:
"There are fairer towns than your

There are towns that are bigger
than this,
And the people who live in the timer

All the city excitement miss.
There are things you can see in the

That you can't in the town that is
small,
And yet-up and down, there is no
little town
Like your own little town after all.
1t may be the street through the
heart of your town
Isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight
But. the neighbors you know in your
own little town
With a welcome your coming await
With it's palace and pavement and
wall,
In the glittering streets of the glitter
ing town,
In the midst of the throng you will
frequently long
For your own little town after all
You measure a town, not by money
or miles
It's border extends;
The best thing you a have, where
ever the town,
Are contentment, enjoyment ant
friends.
If you'll live and work and trade il
You'll find that the town is your ow7
In spite of the fact that it's small

MAJORITY FAVOR PROTECTION

Many times it has been pointed out
that in 1912 the Republican and Pro-
gressive platforms declared in favor
of the protective principle and that
the candidates of those two parties
polled a total of 1907, 735 votes while
the Democratic candidates polled only
6,29O,818. 1t is notorious that the
Democratic candidate received humid
reds of thousands of votes of staunch
Republicans whose course was deter
mined by the feeling aroused by
strife within the party.
But there are some other figures,
not so we'll known, that throw light
on the real strength of protection
sentiment. Woodrow Wilson. had a
majority vote in only ID states, with
a total of 156 electoral votes. The
combined Republican and Progressive
votes aggregated 379. If therefore,
the enactment of a tariff law had been
determined by the actual vote as cast
