Build good roads instead of battIe-ships, is the cry of those who oppose preparedness on the part of the United States. Good roads would no more keep the brigands of Europe and Asia from over-running our country than good streets will keep bank robbers from entering banks and taking off the cash.

MORE ABOUT PREPAREDNESS.

Among the unsophistlcated and hide-bound devotees of Will liam Jennings Bryan, to them the "peerless one' ever. 1t seems inconceivable that country could prepare for national de fense, without bringing on war. They take their cue from Mir. Bryan, and argue that if the country arms itself, it, like an individual who carries arms, will go about seeking trouble; and they further justify their weak and untenable propaganda, by using Germany as an illustra- tion to cinch their argument and squelch those who differ with them. Had not Germany been prepared, there would have been no war; they say. Grant 1t; but Germany was prepared and there was war, and the nations of England, France and Russia suffered because of their unpre- paredness, to say nothing of the dire fate of poor little Belgium, whose land has been devastated, whose cities have been burned and whose men, women and children have been murdered and starved to death, from a lack of preparedness on the part of her more powerful allies
 Had Englend and France been prepared no German horde would have ever crossed the border-line of Belgium, adjoining Germany; and thus would that hapless little Kingdom, once the flower of Europe, been spared, and it's liberty loving and indus trious people would not have been deprived of their homes, and driven from their loved and hitherto happy country.
 With proper preparedness on the part of England and France,
 who under such circumstances, could have readily and speedily come to Belgium's relief, and by so doing no German war.lord or Hussar would have been per mitted to defame Belgium soil. If Russia had been in a state of preparedness no declaration of war would have ever been made upon her by the Kaiser. It was the unpreparedness of the entente allies that brought on this most cruel and unprecedent- ed struggle, and which has caus- ed them such a tremendous toll of lives and property; and now, if the United States, with this great object lesson before them, should adhere to the Bryan doc Urine of disarmament, they would soon find themselves at the mercy of some powerful country who might covet our fair land, and not be welded so thoroughly to the peace theory as is Mir. Bryan and his follow CTS.
 With a strong Navy and de cent Army we can say to the Nations of this earth, "let us have peace, but if nothing but a fight will do you, we will try to accommodate you.

If it is true that Count Von Bernstorf, the German Ambas- sador to the United States, has been guilty of a conspiracy with the enisaries of Germany and Austria to destroy American property, as alleged, he should hurriedly be made to walk the same plank that Dr. Dunbar, the Austrian Hungarian Ambas- sador was forced to walk.

sion and fancy articles confectionery

ing a numbered ticket, We're sold dur
ing the evening and one of these num-

Month-Old Chickens.

in the poultry department of Farm
and Fireside = contributor tells in
part as follows how he raises aud sells
nouth-old chickens:
Last summer | decided to- try new
phase Of the poultry business. 1t was
the selling OF chicks, not day-old
chicks. but e-month-old ones. | knew
there was money to be made, and be
ing made. selling dav-old chicks at 10
or - cents each.
However. | knew there were many
people who would be glad to pay more
to get pure-bred chicks that were al
ready past the danger period. There
fore | determined to hatch some
chicks. raise them to the age of one
month, and then sell them. With this
in view ] started a l40-egg incubator
on the 18th Of March, filing it with
40 eggs. At the end of three weeks
/ took 10 nice. lively chicks from the
incubator. | Immediately filled the in
cubator again with eggs, and cOntin-
ued filing it every three weeks until
/ the 18th of June.
| hator, and took 39j chicks out of it. I
realized that L could not sell all my
chicks locally to advantage, therefore
/ had a small advertisement. inserted
in "a papers Offering Purebred ,-one-
month-old chicks at b cents each. The
| advertisement cost me s. for three in.
| sertions. ! received inquiries every
| day through this adj.
/ had some nca: lctterhcads and en-.
velops printed, aud answered all in
quiries the same day they were recciv
ed. ! also had q photographer take q
/ picture Of "bunch' of my chicks
and inclosed one IN every letter l sent
cut. / think that helped me sell my
chicks more than anything else.
found that there was 81 good demand
for four-weeks old chicks. and at times
had more orders for them than I could
FIJI.
The inquiries and an occasional or
der kept on coming for weeks after
had sold all | had. l never imagined
that there would lie such a demand foi
them or | would have run several in
cuhators instead of one.
| received 30 cents each for my
chicks, while the total cost of raising
them, including cost of eggs, feed. adj
vertising, etc, was 10 cents each
However, mine were only utility stock
Fanciers, or those having extra gooC
stock, would have 10 trouble getting
80 cents each or more for them.
