Plans To Be Suggested.
| Several plans for making this nation
more prepared would confront Con-
gress, once it were called together.
+ One Of these, and easily the simplest.
would be TO appropriate a large lump
sum and place il at the disposal of the
President for putting the army and
navy on a war basis. This probably
would result in the Secretary of War,
advised by the General staff, mapping
out the details for the army, and the
Secretary Of the Navy, advised by the
/ Chief of Operation. planning the de-
tails for the navy. On the declaration
of war with Spain tins plan was fol-
lowed by Congress.
Another plan would be the adoption
of the increases in the army suggested
by Secretary of War Garrison at the
last session, with provision for a much
greater increase.
One plan suggested by a Representa-
tive to-day followed the suggestion
printed in The Tribune this morning
from army officers that the national
guard might be modified on the the
cry that it might be necessary to in
wade Mexico. This would give the ex-
perenced officers of the regular army
a chance. it was pointed out. to whip
the national guard into a real army
within a comparatively short time. II
would not be necessary to have them
all i'm one big camp. and it would be
preferable for several reasons, includ-
ing transportation costs. TO have them
in camps in different sections of the
country.
Efforts TO build up the national
guard. it was said. probably would be
very successful. in view of the posi-
bilitv of trouble. and this would be
much more simple in building up a
first line than organizing entirely raw
troops.
One Of the plans which has found
q great deal of favor. and which has
been earnestly advocated by Senator
Salisbury. of Delaware, is TO quadruple
the number of cadets at West Point.
Senator Salisbury recently pointed out
that the crying need of all the armies
in Europe was far more for officers
than for men.
The same argument is applied 10 the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. with
little less force. IL is not expected
by many that in the event OF a war
with Germany the United States would
send troops to Europe for at least ten
months or year. But BY speeding up
the training of the yQung men in the
two academies now s necessity for

Winifred Price, the belle of the vii

gagged to her and plan a speedy mar
riage.
Perhaps his uncle had learned of
this, Alton reflected, and that was the
real secret of his drastic action. At
all events the ultimatum had been
submission. If the former, Alton
well knew that his uncle would dis
own him, which meant the loss of the
substantial backing of helpful, in
fluential friend.
Alton talked over the tisuation that
evening with Winifred. She was SEN
sible about it. Better to wait two
years than to rush madly into matri-
mony with no fixed business estab-
ishment, she advised. At least, she
decided, Alton had better keep in his
uncle's good graces until he was sure
he could shift for himself
So Alton mournfully, accepted the
situation. Winifred consoled him
sweetly and his Photographic fad

must be taken to turn the plants un-

disking would turn under millions of
weed seeds to make trouble in future
years.
Moving to Prevent Seed Scattering.
Moving is another way of prevent
ing weeds from going to seed. AS a
rule, 1t is best to NOW when weeds
have reached the ullbloom stage.
When there are patches in grain fields
thick with weeds, it will pay to cut
them, grain and all, before the weeds
start to go to seed.
1t pays to cut hay crop early, In
order to prevent weeds from going
to seed as well as to secure a better
quality of hay. After a grain crop is
removed, crop of weeds, such as
ragweed or foxtail, usually follows,
which, if not disturbed, not only re-
seeds the land for further crops of

Moving these weeds will prevent
most of them from going to seed, and,
further, the clippings will be of value
as mulch for the young grass.
More or less hand work is neces-
sary in preventing the growth and

annual and biennial weeds will make
no further appearance If pulled or

One of the best tools for disposing
of weeds with thick roots is the spud,
a tool with long handle and chisel-

TO GUARD AGAINST FIRE
AT THE HOLIDAY PERIOD
Warning Issued to Those Who Con-
template Having Christmas
Trees in Homes.

Chief Wagner and Fire Marshal
Nicholson are anxious that persons
who contemplate having Christmas
trees this year should take every pre-
caution against fire. Years ago many
disastrous fires were caused by care
lessness in handling trees with inf1am-
mable decorations, and, it is stated, an
occasional death was caused at such
times.
Instead Of issuing number Of sug-
sestions about the necessity for taking
precautions officials of the department
this morning called attention to an in
surance company's circular which
reads:
Every year in America many chill
dren are burned to death by fire from
Christmas candles.
DO not decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton or other infammable
