Stage-fright, from which Monsignor
Benson, according to his brother 8
memoir, suffered every time he had
to preach, is not uncommon even
with those whom we should regard
as the most seasoned speakers, says
London Chronicle. Instances Of nerv.
GUS collapse in the house of commons
are numerous, and-to refer only to
those who are dead and gone-one
may recall the case of Bobby Lewis,
who, happening to confuse his notes
in the midst of an important speech,
became bewildered, sat down, and
never mustered courage to address
the house again. Sir George Grey, who
was home secretary under Palmerston,
was a positive martyr to nervousness,
and never rose to speak, even on the
most trivial topic, without betraying
unmistakable signs of his affection. An
other famous victim of stage-fright
was John Stuart Mill, who on one
memorable occasion, at least, utterly
collapsed.

The bids for the new building
at Roman were not opened on &C.

The board authorized the clerk
to advertise for bids for furnish
ing wood and for drivers to drive
the school wagons for the COM

were also completed for the OPEN
ing of a new school at Valley

lee. Another meeting will be
held next week at which great
many school matters will be dis
posed of.

OUT TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS
AND GATHERING SAMPLES

photographer Bigelow left yes
terday morning, with Harvey
Cox as driver, in Stanley
Scearce's Metz car, for tour of
the valley, intent upon taking
photographs of the growing crops
OF grain and other products of
the soil. Samples will also be
gathered and brought to Roman
for the purpose of preparing them
for exhibition.
The business men of Roman
have offered prizes for the best
grains and grasses exhibited this
fall at the county fair and thew
are now making an effort to have
the farmers provide the exhibits.
After the county fair, the best
exhibits will be taken to the state
fair, and from there in all likli-
hood to the big show at San
Francisco. The prizes are suf-
ficient to justify any farmer go
ing to the necessary trouble to
gather articles for exhibit, to
say nothing of the profitable ad-
vertising the country willreceive
from such an exhibit as can be
gathered in this valley this year.
Select the best you have in
grains, grasses and vegetables
and bring them in. They will
be properly marked and pre-
pared for you free of cost. Now
is the time to do it. Don't wait,
but go out at once and help
gather the stuff that will put the
Mission valley before the state
and the world as the garden SPOT

AS university president Doctor
Butler objects to this practice Of
turning academical teaching into an
exercise in contemporary journalism :"
Too many American professors, he
thinks, give way to this temptation
which is pressed on them by public
appeals for their opinions on current
topics, says Manchester Guardian. "If
one be profound student of Plato
he is expected without warning to
pass an Illuminating critical judg.
ment upon the latest outgiving of
George Bernard Shaw. If he happens
to be we'll versed in the economic
thought of Germany and Austria he
is called upon for an authoritative ex-
preston Of opinion regarding the
strike of coal miners in Colorado"
Possibly there are some British as
we'll as American professors who
would gain in ultimate reputation by
paying heed to Doctor Buffers warn.

WOMAN WHO SPENDS.

Professor O'Bolger of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania pays his caustic
compliments to the woman who does
not care how her husband earns the
money, as long as he gives her all
she wants. 1t is assuredly the pa
thetic fact in some households that
one-haf does not know how the 9TH
er half lives. There is not even
faint approximation to community Of
interest. Some husbands deliberately
exclude their wives from knowledge
Of their concerns, because when they
come home at the close of a tired
working day they wish to hear no
more of business. That desire may be
understood. Yet there is such thing
as complete domestic accord, based
on a parallelism of tastes and SYM
pathies as we'll as on the fundamen.
tai fact of a real and lasting affection.
1t is not necessary for woman to
know every technical detail OF
complex enterprise in order to give
the inspiration and the strength Of
her interest to him who wins the
daily bread for both of them and for
a dependent household. But on the
selfish woman, who does not care
what her husband does, except as his
work translates itself into the dollar,
sympathy is wasted. She is willing
that he shall pawn his very soul for
pottage. Luxury is the breath of the
life she knows; avarice and envy are
her consuming passions. His fate
is pitiable whose destiny is one with
hers, who must give his days to ap.
pease the Unsuitable.

FOR U. S. NATIONAL DEFENSE
PRESIDENT TO PROPOSE NAVAL
PROGRAM TO CONGRESS.
Desires Navy to Stand on Equality
With Most Efficient Fighting
Sea Force of Any Power.

Washington, July 26. - President
Wilson has called for reports on the
subject of national defense. These
will be made to him personally by
the heads of the navy and war de-
partments. The fact that this action
had been taken became known here
after the release for publication Of
the note to Germany relating to sub.
marine warfare.
Without regard to present day con-
troversies, the President, in associa.
ton with heads of various depart,
ments, has been giving attention for
some time TO the preparation of an
adequate naval program which he will
propose to Congress at the proper
time. He will study this subject on
his visit to Cornish, N. H., and when
he again returns here may be pre-
pared to discuss it with his advisers.
Practical Advice Sought.
For the time being the President
feels that it is desirable to drop all
discussion of the controversy with
Germany, that the object of this
weeks visit to Washington has been
accomplished, and he is turning to
questions of permanent national pol
Icy. Practical advice concerning ma
tional defense from every available
professional source is being sought.
1t is known, in fact, that the best
minds of the military branches of the
government have been at work on
these matters for some time.
Men of the army and navy who
have been most directly in touch
with conditions of defense that have
been evolved out of modern exper-
fence have been called upon for their
views. The President not only wishes
advice from those who have knowl-
edge of actual conditions of warfare,
existing in Europe today, but he is
seeking light from those who are able
to understand and comprehend all
possible phases of altered conditions
on both land and sea. He particularly,
wishes the navy to stand upon equal
ity with the most efficient and serv-
1ceable fighting sea force maintained
by any power.
