HOW THE DUTCH WOULD FIGHT

Should the Dutch, like the Beleians be called upon to resist violation their neutrality they would while calling upon their srnal! army of 125,- GOO men, rely a great extent on General yke.' In other words they would repel the invader by flooding the country, inundatng the fields to depth of between and two feet, thus making a morass impossible to enemys troops
 Holland is not only flat, but in places it is hollow Fields and meadows ten or twelve feet and sometimes more below the level Of the water salt or otherwise. Consequently, the land has to be protected by entertainments dykes, the tops of which being broad and flat, used for carriage roads and footpaths The network of canals is unique.
 The dykes skillfully constructed and should occasion arise 300 square miles could be flooded at fairly uniform depth. sufficient float to the enemys troops. Hollands fortified positions and garrisons situated that they would be behind the flooded area. and if by any chance the Dutch driven from their water line the final stand would be made before Amsterdam. which, by of it's encircng forts and the advantages of it's position the water is of the strongest military poSitiOns in the world
 The last occasion which the Dutch pelled to inundae their country quell invader barred by this unique method of warfare. When the frost and the water of the artificial lakes froze the invaders thought that the Dutch de- livered into their hands, but lucky thaw and the invaders narrowly escaped disaster.

The Coming of the Secretary

No man could have been welcome to the Salt River valley than Hon. Franklin K. Lane, tary of the interior department who in the two years he has been office has interpreted the pur- pose of the reclamation act it had interpreted before. He has consistently sought to extend the work and to leave upon the under the various projects the least possible burden
 MT Lane is of the abest men ever at the head of the interior department, and it may be stated that for the first time problems of tte department became more complex there have been sectional factonal complaints against its administration.
 The secretary is of sufficient breadth to take in the points of view of all sections and all interests and to deal justly with all. A western man, he bet ter understood than any of his predecessors the peculiar needs of the west which had before had representation in the department. We not forgetiul of the fact that other from the west had preceded him in the department but they lacked that close sympathy with the masses that derstanding of the needs of the western people which has distinguished Mir. Lane.

TALKS ON THRIFT Why Thrifty People Are Happy

"EXtravagance becomes contagious and affects the community, the state and the nation, tending to produce dissatisfaction and discomfort, while the other hand economy and thrift promote happ- and contentment "-Csovernor Charles R. Mill Ter, of Delaware.
 Thrifty people are happy people, because their thrift brings them security and content.
 In these opening days of the year, it is fitting for every citizen to think of thrift in it's broad aspect and remember that the prosperity of the tion is largely founded upon the thrift of it's people
 Thrift produces simple habits clean bodies and contented minds It makes nations great and power full
 Out of the savings of the thrifty come all huge investments all funds for great public works and industrial enterprises. Without thrift there would be transportation systems investments in community industrial securities, great and powerful financial institutions.
 Dividends savings the immediate mate rial reward of thrift But there can be no interest without principal, and the way to build up fund is not to wait until you can put a lot of money into the bank but to and deposit the small amounts you go along.
 The savings bank is the greatest single agency of thrift in this country, and a savings pass is badge of honor for any citizen

NATURE STUDY FOR BABIES

One Of the duties of child training which is an unalloyed pleasure, is teaching love for nature. Everything God made is an expression of God, worthy of affection and observation, and radiating inspiration or peace
 This training should begin as soon as the baby begins to observe. In case of child almost isolated from nature 1t can be q cultivation of admiration for what is beautiful or most beautiful in the home. There are always beau tiful skies, clouds, snow, sunsets, sun shine on the wall, etc. They learn so quickly to say pity, pitty,' and are soon interested finding things to ad- mire.
 From the beginning allow nothing to be destroyed If child shows in clination to pull a flower to pieces, admire it moment, then take it away gently and place it in a vase. Do not let the child get the habit of enjoying destruction. Of course you will have to be consistent and not crumple or toss away withered flowers in a small child's presence. I have seen mothers do this and scold the child a moment after. for doing the same with a fresh flower. [.

ROuMANIA
By George Fitch

Servia is small country, with TO resources. but it started the greatest war in teh world I,ou- , mania is also a small country, whose most notable product up to the pres ent has been Carmen Sylvia, the poetess. But it may end the same war.
 Roumania is so old that some of the larger belligerents are mere up- starts. When the Roman emperor, Trajan, was enlarging the map of the world in order to accommodate the Roman boundaries. he planted colony north of the Danube river, near the Black Sea. Later when the Roman empire went out of busi- ness. this colony continued to grow and thrive by itself Latin is spoken i in Roumania today. and it's name has not changed in 1890 years.
 1 Roumania is a squarish tract of land with an ell extending northward on the west side, and is little smaller than Illinois. It has 7.500, 900 people. who are almost unanimously 1 farmers These farmers have, by | long practice. attained an eXtraor- dinary degree of poverty. All cf Roumania's export business together, : including all the grain sold outside i the country, is not as large as the business which is done by one Chi cago mail order house But Rou- mania supports 500,000 soldiers in considerable readiness to fight. Be- ing an European is as serious and ia tiguing an operation as it is else where.
 ! Roumania has had a long history. I illuminated mostly by the departure of conquerors after there was natn- ing left to loot The Tartars. Goths, Huns. Turks. Bulgarians Magyars. Russians and Poles have all grabbed the country at one time or another. and have operated it as careless ly as a chauffeur runs borrowed automobile For over 1,S00 years, 1 Roumania had to produce the reven- ues, while various neighbors tried tp govern her But in 1881, she was allowed to become a kingdom and gov ern herself Two years ago Ron : mania suddenly waded into Bulgaria and whipped her. producing as muck of a sensation thereby as a sweat shop worker would by knocking ont Jack Johnson. Since then, Roumania 1 has been a real kingdom, but no 1 insurance company would care to write a policy on it until the present general ill feeling is over.
 Roumania is separated from several million fellow Roumanians in Tran sylviania by boundary line. and hopes before the present war is over to shift the said boundary line t0 the other side of the Rouma nian population.
