IMMENSE SUM FOR

Washington, Oct. 13.-Four hun.

fense-an increase of approximately
$140,000,00O over last year-consti-
tutes the amount President Wilson
and his advisers now estimate should
be appropriated by the next Congress
for the army and navy.
AS the date-Friday-f compile
tion of the annual estimates draws
near, the President is giving pre-
liminary consideration to the nation
al defense budget out of which it is
hoped to lay down a stronger naval
program than the United States ever
has authorized in it's history and
similarly larger provision for the
military establishment than has been
customary in time of peace.
The President has had before him
for several weeks the outlines of a
military policy of continuing char

after more than a years study with
officers of the general staff. With |

have not been revealed, a substantial
increase in the regular army, prob
ably from $1,000 to at least 10000
men and the creation of reserve of
perhaps 100000 men thru short
term enlistment service of citizens
interested in military training, are
said to be parts of the army plan.

Chicago, Oct. IL. Alleging that the

900 of its trust funds in the Anglo
French loan of $500, 100000, Olga S.

PENDANTS. .N"
Frank S. Monet, formerly attorney
general of Ohio, who prosecuted the
antitrust suit in that State against the
Standard Oil Company, acted as attor-
ney for the plaintiff.
The complaint to the court sets forth
that among the thousands of policy
holders in the Mutual Life Insurance
Company are many persons of various
nationalities, and that the investment
of the trust fund of these policyholders
in the Anglo French loan would tend to
produce antagonisms among the policy
holders which might lead to disrupting
the company and thereby depreciate the
value of her interest in the company.

Obituary.

II It is with sadness we chronicl
the death of Mrs Earl Verhine (ne
Miss Willie v. Allen). In earl
youth Mr.. and Mrs. Verhine plight
| ed their troth and were always hap
Ply in the presence of each other
Both were of a kind, earnest dispo
sition. Each always thinking O
the pleasure of the other. She wa
a niece of Mrs. ]. w. Gregory, of thi
city, also daughter of Mrs. Greg
ory's eldest brother She leaves he
husband and three small children tt
mourn her loss True, there are
many to miss her and her kindnesses
but the loss is heaviest for the little
ones who are left Yet God in his
wisdom will bouteously provide fol
them.
Let us think of the glory Mrs.
Verhine has attained and try to
emulate her lovely examples. We
would say to those who mourn her
loss to think with cheer and pray
| that
Sometime, when all lifes- lessons
have been learned,
And sun and stars forevermore
have set,
The things which our weak iudg-
ments here have spurned,
The things DER which we grieved
with lashes wet,
Will flash before us, out of Mfe's
dark night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints
of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right,
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true.
And we shall see how, while we
frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you
and me;
How, when we called, he needed not |
our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end
could see.
And cen as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving
babyhood,
20 God, perhaps, is keeping from us
now
Life's sweetest things because it
seemeth good.
md if, sometimes, commingled with
life's wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel
and shrink,
'e sure a wiser hand than yours or
mine
Pours out this portion for our lips
to drink,
nd if some friend we love is lying
low,
Where human kisses cannot reach S
his face,
h, do not blame the, loving Father
But wear your sorrow with obe- +
dent grace. il
nd you shall shortly know that :,
heightened breath f.
Is not the sweetest gift God sends S,
his friend, "
nd that, sometimes, the sable pail ii
of death G.
Conceals the fairest boon his love +
can send. n
we could push ajar the gates of
life, =
nd stand within, and all Gods :
workings see, y
e could interpret all this doubt OF
and strife,
And for each mystery could find
key.
1t not to-day Then be content, M
poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies pure and an
white, unfold
e must not tear the close-shut lir
leaves apart,
Time will reveal calyxes of gold;
ID if, through patient toll, we
reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals
loose, may rest,
len we shall clearly know and PIE
understand,
think that we will say, God
knew the best.

that although it's license to sell

will leave the Pennsylvania system
east of Pittsburgh without bar in
any of its stations or restaurants and
without the sale of liquor in any OF

BASIC PRINCIPLES"
OF BUSINESS

Almost everybody likes to take a
pot shot at the corporations. It's
either a railroad, an oil company, a
shoe factory or a chewing gum cr-
poration. The public generally does
not realize that a corporation after
all is founded on the basic principles
of a small grocery store. 1t has the
right to retrench If business does
not warrant an expenditure Of mon
ey; it has the right to cut down its
operating expenses just as a mer-
chant discharges an employee. In the
retrenchment policy the public is al
ways pinched, for the public relies
to more or less extent upon cor
porations. And now that the A. c.
l.. is about to discontinue another
train 1t will be we'll for the public
to think of the "basic principles"
There will still be three trains daily
between Tampa, and Jacksonville.
When business reaches its normal
stride again the A. C. l.. will be
only too willing to put trains back
on the schedule. A travelling public
means money to a railroad company,
and the A. c. l.. would never re-
move a train were 1t possible to
make money. II the European war
ends before winter sets in, and the
Northern farmers get top notch
prices for their fall grain. there will
