INSPIRATION OF ". Y. h.. THE COUNTY FAIR I I1A. .,-x14sssnss.
By Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de- partment of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on new power-that is the inspira- tion of the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene-that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the soil that Is opportunity knocking at your door. It is good chance to spend a quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweet en your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with it's beauty and expand your imagination with It's power
 These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of com merce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market in the world.
 The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as we'll. Their beauty gives human life its first entertain ment. their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes mod els for growth of character and their marvellous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the won- derful process of nature.
 Before leaving the parlor of agricul- ture where nature is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec- ton, let us pause and take retro spective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod ucts are raised. they can seldom be marketed at profit? Take the blush. ing Elberta. for example--they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion-the nations favorite vegetable-eyery year rots by the acre In the Southwest for want of market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cot. ton-nature's capitalist-often goes begging on the market at less than cost of production.
 It Is great to wander through the exhibits while the band Is playing Dixie" and boast of the marvellous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but 1t is also we'll to remember that there Is market side to agriculture that does not reflect it's hardships in the exhibits at a county fair.

TILS0N OPPOSED TO
 CONTINENTAL ARMY
Believes Scheme in National De-
 fense Program Will Not Work
$ ti Especial to the Herald.

! Washington, Dec. 15.-When asked to comment on the. administ ration,s plan of national defence, Representa- tive Tilson, who will be a member of the committee on military affairs of the house, said: "As it is stated that the subject is to be considered without regard to party lines, prefer to wait until it is seen what can be done towards for mulating a plan in committee before making any comment upon the ad- ministration plan as a whole There are certain parts of the proposed plan, however that can say now that I do not approve of. I do not believe that we need large standing army, but my Judgement is that the regular ar mE should be considerable larger than at present, the exact number to be worked out with due regard to the most effective organization. The aerial forces, the field artillery and the ma- chine gun detachments should be very greatly increased.
 Against Continental Army.
 Tn my judgement the Continental army scheme will not work as pro- posed and it ought not to be attempt ed. What little here has been of mill itary training outside the regular es- tablishment has been done by the or ganized militia. The two could not co-exist side by side. Then why not use the organized militia and make it a real national force Instead of the Coptinental army, which has no par ticular significance, why not have the national guard in name and make it real? Every officer and. enlisted man in the organized militia since the pas sage of the Dick bill in 1903 believed he was a part of the national guard, subject to duty within and with out the continental limits of the United States. If there is any doubt about it, she doubt should be removed. Mean while. what is there to hinder a mem Der of the organized militia from be- coming also a member of the national force, by Whatever name called with out ceasing to be a member of the organized militia? If necessary why not sign two enlistment papers, one Fstate and one national? We nave no difficulty in dual citizenship of state and nation. The organized mill itia at present is required to conform, to regulations of the war department in the matter of organization, arms equipment, uniforms and training Other regulations, including an addi- tional enlistment, might be required Additional field training would be most acceptable and useful.
 Should Recognize Militia.
 CT believe the organized militia should be recognized and utilized by
 making it the nucleus of the nationa force to supplement the regular ar. my It should be made a real na.
 iona1 guard and service in it made sufficiently attractive to draw men tc
 in sufficient numbers.
 linen I would devote some atten
 ions and money to building up a re. Eerve of trained men who have served

 nard. Thus l would conserve our re-
 ources in trained men.

HORsE sHoRTAGE

IL is comparatively sasy for the agents for foreign governments to buy horses in the United States in winter. At this season there is not much work for millions of horses that will bs greatly needed when spring comes. Farmers, con tractors, ice companies, teamsters whose work is mostly on the docks, and other owners and users of many horses find a good price tempting in mtdwinter and they feel that when they have urgent need of other horses they can find plenty of them for sale.
 So the draining of this country goes on to supply the neyer-satis- fled demand for horses for war purposes In Europe. It will con tinue unchecked. it appears, until spring. Then there may be sud den realization that the supply of horses for American Use Is not ad- euuate to meet AmerieaR needs.
 The conditions are ripe for great scarcity in the horse market. France, Great Britain and other countries deep in the war have no such supply of horses as they re- quire and they will continue to bid for horses and mules in the United States. American indus tries have no overstock to dispose of. and the inevitable consequence will be a market shortage. This will affect tle demand for motor vehicles of various kinds. It may also act as a serious obstacle to the economical and effective carrying on of many American industries.
 And who was tho latest prophet to foretell the speedy and final disappearance Of the horse from the traffic and work of the world?

NOT READY YET

Every properly constituted hu- man being would like to see an end made of war. Everybody would like to see all the nations freed from the burden of main taining armies and nayies.
 The prediction that the present fearful war will mark the end of all warfare and bring about quick ly the disarmament of the nations appeals to the best that is In all of us. But much as we would like to believe there Is TO reasonable basis for 1t.
 Says the most, able, broadminded and influential newspaper in Can ada: While one of the objects with which this war js being wased on the part Of Great Britain Is the destruction of inc evil spirit of militarism that possesses Germany, one would be mad to suppose that after 1t is over the nations will beat their swords into pruning hooks. It is to be hoped that from he backs of European peoples will be lifted a great part of the bur den of armament. but that the na- lions will take no thought and make no preparation for defense Is a dream"
 As this same newspaper points out, there will be more, rather than less, military preparedness on the part of Britain ir the future. Its failure to heed the warnings of Lord Roberts and its unreadi- ness to fight when the present war broke out has frightened 1t. Eng land can not help shuddering to think Of what would have hap pened if 1t had, been compelled to face Germany on the field of bat tle alone. FSnEg

THE STORY OF sTEGFRIED

Siegfried was the son of the king of the Netherlands. He was wonderful hero. He had killed a dragon, and had washed in the blood of it so he could not be hurt' except in one spot where a certain leaf had fallen.
 The Nibelung's had given him a sword named Balmung. It was wonderful sword. A while later he oYercams the Nibelungs' and took their treasures and the Hood of Darkness, which made him invisible. After he had won the Hood Of Darkness he set out to Rhineland to court Kriemhild. Before Siegfried could win her he had to help win Bruinhild for Gunther, Kriemhild's brother. Bruinhild was a warrior queen. King Gunther and Siegfried had very long journey. Hagen King Gunther and Siegfried went on the journey. When they arrived at Queen Bruinhild's court, she h. vlted Gunther, Hagen, Siegfried, and other friends to a contest.
 Bruinhild told Gunther that if he could beat her throwing the spear jumping. and throwing the stone she would marry him. Siegfried by ait Of the Hood of Darkness took Gunther's place, and defeated Bruin- hild. Then Gunther married Bruin- hild and siegfried married Kriem- hild. After being. married several happy years, a son was born to both. -Gunther named his Siegfried, and siegfried named his Gunther. When Siegfried was married his father gave him his kingdom.
 After many years siegfried and Kriemhild visited Bruinhild and Guuther. Not long afterward he went out hunting and only took one. hunting dog and got many ami mals. On their way home they stopped to drink. While he was drinking Hagen smote him with his sword in his vulnerable spot.
 They carried Jim home on a shield. They told his wife his en-

NEW YORK'S TENEMEN
BY KENNETH w. PAYNE
New York, July u - Rebuilding
babies - tiny boys and girls made
over to order-thiB is the miraculous
work of the most wonderful hospital
in the world!
AS the first tOrrid heat of July
burst over New York's gritty east
side, I went out to this marvellous
clinic on the edge Of the tall tene-
ments in order to learn just how the
greatest city in America, where the
summer suffering of babies is the
worst in America, has prepared for
it's annual baby saving campaign.
It is the only one in New York
where babies under four years are
cared for. Here methods new to
science have just been applied on a
scale seldom attempted elsewhere
and are working wonders OF baby
mending.
Daily through its open doors drift
from the teen1ing canyons of the East
Side close to 300 2itifuI little bits of

Yearly $4,000 different treatments are
given and 1880 pieces of useless hu-
man machinery are remolded and
rebuilt in its strange repair shops, and
turned out in the form of useful,
happy American citizens!
