Wilfred insisted on an immediate

On the way to the rudely improvised

The cells were in the basement. The

had stationed three deputies at the foot

Prevention of the FLIGHT of Birds,

To prevent birds from flying without
the barbarous and injurious system
sometimes Of cutting their wings it
will be found sufficient to tie together
with a. thread three or four of the
largest feathers of one wing. This de-
stroys the balance. the wings do not
act symmetrically in the air, and
flight is rendered impossible. Fowls.
pigeons. etc. may be kept within
bounds In this simple fashion.

Why Cash i'm Advance
For Subscriptions?

For several reasons, but to the man
who is inclined to be fair it is only
necessary to advance these two:
The country weekly's field is limited.
1t has only two sources of revenue
space in it's columns for sale and sub
scriptions. Both must pay, or else
the paper does not prosper. There
is no compromise. Credit for sub
scriptions, even for year, represents
loss; and where a publisher con-
tinues the practice year in and year
out he only encourages its growth.
1t he would get what he earns he must
demand cash in advance for subscrip-
tions-for each and all of them.
Some have made it a practice after
securing the paper for year on
, credit Originally paying only dol
lar) to then order it in the name of
some other member of the family.
Some men would thus run the whole
family string of names, paying only
dollar every other year in the name

SENATE'S NAVAL BILL
ADDS NINE SUBMARINES
Increase House Measure So, 81, ,080,
Making Total $152, ,961 ,9S1-Two
Battleships Provided.

The naval appropriation bill, carry
ing a total of s152.961. .9s1.ss, was re-
ported to the Senate last night from
the committee on naval affairs. This
is an increase over the House bill of
sS,313,0So. Provision is made in the bill
also for the reappropriation of 100000
for the marine barracks at Norfolk
and Mare Island.
The naval building program of the
Senate bill would provide for five sea-
going submarines, sixteen smaller sub
marines, six or more destroyers. one oil
fuel ship, one gunboat. one hospital
ship at 100000 and two first-class bat
tleships.
Among the increases recommended
$3.50, 900 for naval reserve. 100000 for
a high-power radio station and ST.
600, 900 to be applied on construction of
an armor plate factory not to cost more
than ss,ooo,0o0, If the Secretary of the
Navy cannot purchase armor in the
market at a reasonable price.
Debate on the army bill was re-
sumed after the naval bill was re-
ported.
More Submarines Wanted.
An attempt to increase the number OF
submarines authorized is to be made
in the Senate by republican leaders. To
that end Senator Smoot has introduced
an amendment providing for fifty sub
marines of a seagoing type instead OF
one, as designated in the House bill.
and twenty-five smaller submarines, in
stead of eleven.
The larger submarines would cost
exceed 400 600 each and tho
smaller type not to exceed S550,0
For expenditure the first year Senator
Smoots amendment would appropriate

..'rhe European war has demonstrated
beyond any question:, said Senator
Smoot in introducing his amendment.
that submarines are invaluable for
defense of coast cities and coast line.

in this country more than anythin g
else"
